another nervous affair, although

possibly well into September.

f., ing sows were cleared at 1925
mostly, good smooth offerings be-
ing eligible upwards to $3.50 with
a few. rough offerings at $500.
Feeder pigs were, scarce and sold
readily at $500.
; Sluggish dressed beef markets
saw downturn in killing cattle,
trade closing on the average Is
cents lower for grain-feds and
steady to rs cents off for grassers.
Choice quality youngsters made
$1O.25 on the opening session, the
high mark for the week, best heavy
beeves scoring $1,000. Bulk of the
fed steers and yearlings turned
within a spread Of $3.50 to $3.50,
grassers mostly $3.50 to $500. Fat
.she-stock, which was largely on
Nhe grassy order, found slow out
let at prices of 1925 to $3.50 for
cows and upwards to $5.75 for
heifers. Gamers and cutters are
closing in the 200 to 800 sales list
with bologna bulls mostly $3.50 to
$4.25. Veal calves are unevenly
so to $1.0O higher, with best lights
CLOSING at $500 to $3.50. Stocker

cided Increase on country account
although prices are not much high

strong basis, with a spread of $4.25
to- 1928 taking common and med
ium kinds. Better grade offer

DEFENSE DAY
Is OPPOSED

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 9.-The North
Dakota Federation of Nonpartisan
clubs, through its executive commit
tee, opposes the national defense day
proposal and has adopted resolutions
of disapprOval which have been sent
to President Coolidge, according to
announcement in The Griggs Coun-
ty Sentinel-Courier, league weekly,
published at Cooperstown by Gerald
P. Nye, Nonpartisan candidate for
congress in the Second district.
The resolutions recite that the
United States, as one of the most
powerful nations in the world and in
her position Of comparative isolation
has little to fear from without.
That the fostering of military
spirit is contrary to the spirit of
brotherhood heretofore shown by this
nation.
That the spirit of restlessness and
uncertainty which pervades all parts
of the world may lead other nations
to look with suspicion and distrust
upon this act of mobilization"
That the federation respectfully Pc
titiOns the president Of the United
States, as commander-in-c chief of the
military forces Of the nation, to
change the mobilization Of the mill
tary to mobilization Of citizens to
promote peace and goodwill among
men. M
The resolutions also call upon the
churches, educational institutions,
women's organizations and all other
organizations devoted to the welfare
of mankind to use their influence
against the plan, "that we may train
people to preserve rather than de-
stroy life"

National Parent Teachers
Association To Put on
Demonstration

A Countrywide demonstration, spon-
sored by the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers, is to be made
in North Dakota in twenty counties,
through cooperation of the national
organization, state department of ed
ucation and county school superinten-
dents. The demonstration, unique in
the parent-teacher work, is expected
to establish for the national organi-
cation standards and methods to
guide it's general expansion.
The goal set is the organization of
local parent-teacher organizations.
with paid memberships, in ten per-
cent of the school districts of these
counties, estimated at more than 1000
in number. The local Organizations
will be formed with broad scope
and program, the object of which is
to bring about a closer relation be-
tween the home and school. and the
increase Of community activities in
connection with the schools.
Mrs. Charles E. Roe of Denver.
Colorado, has come into the state to
lecture at the Valley City and Minot
Normal schools, and also to assist
in training local organizers. Under
the plan, effort will be made at the
fall teachers institutes to launch the
demonstration. followed by effort in
the various school districts. During
the sessions of the institutes, national
organization workers will be sent in
the state.
North Dakota was chosen as a field
for demonstration, as fruitful
ground for the extension of parent
teacher organizations, according to
Mrs. Roe.
There are now over 100000 paid
members of the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers, with as strong
state organizations, according to Mrs.
Roe.
Mrs. Roe yesterday conferred with
State Superintendent Minnie j. Mel
son, held meeting last night at
Mandan to train local workers, one
this morning in Bismarck and was
at Steele this afternoon.

The letter of the Attorney Gener-
ais office to states attorneys and
sheriffs follows:
August 9Th, 1924.
Text of Letter
To the States Attorneys and
Sheriffs of North Dakota:
Gentlemen
"This is the time of the year
when We may expect an increase
in the number of robberies, burg
laries and other criminal acts in
this State due to an influx of a
lawless element determined to take
advantage of the crop situation. 1t
has been noticeable in the past
that most burglaries occur in small
country towns, having no adequate
police protection during the night.
If this situation is remedied, I be-
lieve the number of such crimes
would materially decrease.
with this end in view, some Sher-
ifs in this State have, of their own
accord, called upon the leading men
and peace officers in all the small
towns Of their county and secured
voluntary citizens organization
to take care of the policing of such
towns. In the main, such organic
ations undertake to mobilize thu
public spirited residents of the town
and such residents volunteer their
services at stated times in acting
as night watchmen. If twenty-foul
men volunteer, it would only re
quire that two men act ont
night every two weeks. In some
towns, by voluntary subscription, {
I; regular night Waterman is employ
ed. This, of course, is only for ;
| few weeks until the crop has beef
| marketed.
A Feasible Plan
Relieving the foregoing to be ;
feasible plan to check lawlessnes
| in the State, and believing tina
the emergency warrants it, ar
writing you to inquire if you will
not undertake to call at the vari
Gus towns in your county, and
possible, effect an organization o
the men of the town for the pro
lection of the town as outlined.
"In connection with the forego
ing, it is common knowledge tina
we may this year expect a large
number of the members of the
w. w. organization to come into tn
State. The coming of such member
will, of course, bring difficult prob
lens. At a conference at Farg
yesterday was organized commit
tee of Sheriffs and States Attor
neys to outline plans to deal wit
such problems. You will, no doub
hear from such committees in tn
near future. I, therefore, reques
that you cooperate in the fulles
possible manner with the committe
in the work it is attempting to dc
l may also state that the railroad
have volunteered to put on thei
trains extra police officers and t.
do everything in their power to as
| sist, and I bespeak for them als'
your cooperation to the end tina
the farmers of this State may pro
cure competent farm hands at fail
wages and retain them during such
time as they are required, without
interference"

SUICIDE REVEALS
 BRAVERY CITATION
John F. Slattery Revealed As
 Veteran Of Two Armies
lRv Associated Press.l

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Sept. 13.- Several days ago a policeman arrested John k. Slattery, 35, and locked him in the county jail. He said the man was wandering aimlessly about the city and appeared to be insane. The next night after his arrest Slattery climbed to the top of a cage in the jail and hurled himself to the concrete floor several feet below. He died of his injuries.
 Efforts of local authorities to locate relatives of the man failed. He said he lived near Detroit but inquiry there brought no result and Slattery was buried today by strangers.
 Just before the burial, however, the authorities found some papers among Slattery's effects. Among them was a record of his service in both the United States and Canadian armies during the World war. One paper indicated Sat tery was formerly enlisted in the Ninth United States infantry from which he was discharged. Another paper bore the official seal of the Canadian army and proved to be a citation for "con- spicuous gallantry" in action. The citation read as follows:
 Sergeant Major John K. Slattery, Twentieth battalion, awarded the dis tinguished conduct medal for conspicu- ous gallantry and devotion to duty during an attack led by a flanking party which rushed an enemy 'pillbox. He personally shot eight of the de- lenders and succeeded in cutting off party of the enemy who were re- treating. The success of the enter prise was largely due to him." Slattery has a sister in Kilrush, Ireland.
