Recently there has been an awaken

The knowing is the important thing,
for with knowledge will come love
and appreciation. This love will lead

of mountain parks owe much of
their beauty to the luxurious willow
clumps that border and dot them in
widest profusion. Our finest land

by every one. No one needs to be
shown. Even small children recog-

by the richness of their foliage, the

RUST DAMAGE
IS BELITTLED
IN NORTHWEST
Crop Survey Indicates Most
of the Wheat Has Been
Saved From II

st. Paul, Aug. 13, (By the A. P.)
of Minnesota and South
Dakota wheat crop is in full swing
and that task will be general in
North Dakota and Montana next
week, with yields in the Dakotas
and Montana universally greater
than last year, an unC fficial tele-
graphic survey showed.
North Dakota's greatest wheat
crop in years is declared virtually
safe from rust although in some
sections late wheat may suffer
damage up to 20 percent, the re-
ports said. Taking the state as a
whole, and barring unforeseen de-
velopmcnts, the average damage to
spring wheat from rust is not ex-
pccted to average more than 10 per
cent.
Northwestern North Dakota re-
ports that section assured of the
greatest money crop in its his
tory" Advices from Minot say
that late spring wheat is show
ing no material damage from rust
while other sections discount re-
ports of rust damage and declare
that predictions Of fine crop will
be verified.

President to State Party
Principles in Accepting
The Nomination

Washington, Aug. l3, (By the A.
P.)-Republican leaders from all
parts of the country assembled here
today for the exercises tomorrow
night at which President Coolidge
will be formally notified of his
nomination by the Cleveland con-
vention.
The address of the President ac-
cepting the nomination is expected
by the party leaders to set forth
merely the principals on which the
Republican campaign will be based.
since it was written before John
w. Davis, the Democratic nominee,
delivered his address at ClarkSburg,
w. Va, and therefore could not be
regarded as direct reply to the
latter's statements.
The President had light pre-
gram today to allow him to spend
some time in preparation for de-
livery of his address. All members
of the national committee as we'll
as Republican Governors 50. and
Others prominent in party affairs
have been invited to attend the

URGES BUYING
OF COAL NOW

Goverpor Nestos, in statement
today, uAged citizens of the state
to lay in coal supply SO as to as
sist in the rapid movement Of the
North Dakota crops to market, by
tightening the burden on carriers.
81 have just been advised by the
Northwest Regional Advisory Board
that they have adopted q resolution
urging. all users of fuel, and espe-
cially the institutions that use a
great deal Of it, to lay in stock
now so as to relieve the railroads
during the time of the peak move
ment Of grain and other crops" said
the Governor.
while l realize that the users of
Ignite coal cannot lay in their sup
plies for the whole year, .neverthe-
less it would be wisdom to lay in
supplies both of Ignite and, in cases
where other coal is used, of that
coal sufficient at least to last until
the beginning Of the new year so
that in late September, October, and
November. our freight cars may be
free to carry our splendid crops to
market"

TWO HAVE CONFESSED

Benton Harbor. Mich, Aug. 49,
Flor ence Mckinney, l9-year- old
sweetheart Of Emil Zupke, confessed
slayer of Cora May Raber, has
confessed that she witnessed the
killing of her rival for Zupke's af-
fection and helped hide the body, ac-
cording to Sheriff George Bridg-
man.
Zupke and the girl occupied ad-
joining cells in the county Jail to-
day.
Zupke, the sheriff said, broke
down last night and. confessed that
he choked Miss Raber, his former
sweetheart when she refused to re-
lease him from a promise to marry
her. He told the sheriff he lured
her into Benton Harbor on a prom
ise to. marry her but instead drove
her into the country and choked her
to death.
About an hour after he had con-
fessed, the sheriff stated, Miss Nc
Kinney came into his office and
voluntarily admitted that she was
with Zupke when the crime was COM
mitted. She said that Zupke came
to her house with Miss Raber in
his car last Wednesday evening and
that the three Of them drove to the
desolate spot where the slain wo-
mans body was found last Sunday.
The murdered woman was soon to
have become a mother. She blamed
Zupke for her confession.
The combined confessions reveal
he promised to marry her the We'd
nesday evening she was killed. When
Zupke told her he would not marry
her, the confession states, he said:
SWELL, then do something to get
me out of this"
He started to choke her then, ac-
cording to his, confession, and con-
tinued for about a mile as the car
moved along.

DECISION ON
GRAIN RATES
is MODIFIED
Railroad Commission Orders
Into Effect Less Drastic
Rate Reductions
ON INTERSTATE GRAIN

: A decision modifying its previous
order in the state intrastate grain
and grain products case was handed
down today by the state board Of
railroad commissioners, ordering in
to effect on September Is decreases
in rates but not as sharp as made
in the first order.
The decreases made in the wheat
and flour rate averages about Is
percent. according to E. NJ. Hen
bricks. traffic expert, while other
grain and grain products follow
closely in proportion. The Midland
Continental Railroad and the North
western line. which operates but
two stations in the state. are ex-
cepted from the effect of the order.
The railroad commissions juris-
diction applies only to products ori-
ginating and terminating within the
state. this volume. according to the
commission order. constituting a
small portion Of the grain business.
The intrastate grain business has
been placed at five to 10 percent Of
the total.
Benefit to the North Dakota state
mill and other flour mills selling
within the state is seen in the order.
The commissions first order was
issued February 13, 1924. and con-
tanned sharp reductions. The rail-
road attorneys asked reargument of
the case, which was granted. On the
reconsideration, the commission finds
its first order was too drastic.
Special joint line rates which had
been provided in the first order were
stricken out, to leave the basis Of
figuring hauls over two railroads
the same as at present-the rate be-
ing IS percent of the combined local
rates on each of the two lines. The
original order also was modified to
allow the Farmers Grain and Ship
ping Company line to be considered
separate from the Great Northern
for rate-making purposes, and pre-
sent commodity descriptions are per-
mitted to continue.
The basic rate on wheat, for a 100
mile haul, is ordered decreased from
Is 1-2 to. 13 cents; $50 mile haul, 10
to Is 1-2 cents and 200 mile haul %
'1-2 cents to 18 cents, on the princi-
pal railroad lines. In the case of
the Milwaukee line the rate ordered
into effect is the same as on other
lines, but the decrease is greater,
since the Milwaukee rate on the pro-
ducts has. been higher than other
lines.
The rates on wheat and flour af-
feet numerous other commodities Of
similar character.

INDEPENDENTS
EXPECTED TO
RENEW FIGHT
Fargo Meeting Likely to Pave
Way For Naming Candi-
date For Governor
TALK NESTOS AGAIN
Governors Name Urged as q
Candidate in November
Others Mentioned
TALK NESTOS AGAIN

------
Belief is expressed in political
circles here that the conference
called in Fargo tomorrow by the
Real Republican state committee Of
the state will result in steps being
taken to formulate new opposition to
the Nonpartisan League in the state
in the fall election. Numerous In
dependents from the western part of
the state preparing to 60 to the con-
ference, appear to believe that the
Independents should fill out full
ticket to oppose the League ticket in
November.
With two candidates for Governor
in the field at this time-A. G. Sor-
lie, Republican, indorsed by the
Nonpartisan League, and Halvor
Halvorson, Democrat-it is he d
likely here that new candidate will
be placed in the field on an inde-
pendent ticket. Sentiment among
the Independents in this section of
the state does not appear favorable
toward an Endorsement Of Mr.. Hal
vorson, although it is expected that
a Democratic conference, to be held
in Fargo tomorrow, will urge that
he be given united Independent sup
port.
A movement has developed here,
and reported in capitol circles to
have sprung up in other cities OF the
state, to urge Governor Nestos ia
again be candidate against Mr.
Sorlie in the fall. The attitude OF
the Governor has not been stated
publicly, since the matter has not
been brought before him by any
delegation. He has expressed him
self to some individuals since the
June primary as being opposed to
being candidate again for the Of
flee. Some friends express belief
that he would again enter the lists
F! if drafted" for the candidacy.
The names of L. B, Hanna OF Far
! on and J. f. Davis of Goodrich also
| have been prominently mentioned VI
| political gossip as possible oppoh'
ents of Mr.. Sorlie in the fall cleo
tion.
The action of the Nonpartisar
League conference, in naming as
candidates in the fall election their
state office candidates who were de-
! feated in the June primary, opens
the way for the Independents to do
likewise, if they desire, according 70
, some politicians. 40.
Another question likely to be tax
en- up at the Fargo meeting is tha'
of presidential electors. Since 1oui
of the five electors named as re-
publican candidates ran on Lafol,
iette "stickers" there is a group Of
Republicans who favor placing fou'
out-and-out Coolidge electors IN the
individual column, or demandlne
that the four LaFollette electors
| withdraw from the Republican COZ
umn and take places under LaFoi'
| lette,s name in the individual col
| umn. They pointed out information
to the effect that LaFollette cleo
toral candidates in Wisconsin, pre-
sumably at his request, will not at
tempt to be candidates as Repunh-
cans.
Among those from Bismarck ex-
pected to attend the Fargo CONFER
ence are J. A. Kitchen, John Steen'
George Shafer, J. M. Devine, II. r
Goddard and J. P. Tucker.

AGITATION IN
SUDAN EXCITBS
LONDON PAPERS
Blame Laid to Society Aim.
ing at the Ousting of
Egyptian Rule

London, Aug. 13.-(By the A. P.)-
The London newspapers this morning
made a big display of the disturb
ances in the Sudan, which they at
tribute to conspiracy by interested
persons in Egypt, aiming to oust
the British from the Sudan and es-
tablish Egyptian rule over it. Agita-
tion to this end has been in progress
for some months, the main organic
ers being, it is said. the White Flag
Society Of Cairo. =
The editorial writer's, while not
believing that the present trouble
will necessarily have serious conse-
quences, forsee possible regretable
delay in settling the Egyptian pro-
blem.
The latest dispatches from Khar-
tum and Cairo state that the actual
casualties in the clash at Atbara
were four killed and IL wounded and
that no Egyptian troops were present
and that the troops who fired the
.shot were Sudanese Arabs, acting ap-
parently without order and under
provocation from the rioters.

LEOPOLD, LOEB
DECLARED SANE
BY ALIENlSTS
Prosecutions Witnesses Ridi-
cule Defense Theory of
Childish Phantasies
FANTASIES NORMAL
Expert on Stand Declared He
Has One Himself About
The Present Trial

Chicago, Aug. 13.-The prosecu-
tion placed it's first two mental
pathologists on the witness stand
at the Franks hearing this morning
and both testified that Richard Loeb
and Nathan F. Leopold Jr. were sane
when they kidnapped and killed Rob-
ert Franks.
DR.. Hugh Patrick and DR.. Archi-
bald Church of Chicago testified
that their examination of the de-
PENDANTS led them to believe neither
youth was suffering from mental
illness" set by the defense as it's
pHa for imprisonment rather than
death for the kidnaper- -slayers.
They also testified in reply to
long hypothetical questions, includ-
ing all the points brought out in
behalf of the defendants, that a
man of such personality and char
.acter would be sane.
= Reaffirms Conclusions
DR.. Patrick reaffirmed his con-
clusions that Loeb was sane, in re-
ply to the hypothetical question
asked by John Sbarbaro, assistant
states attorney.
"Aside from the commission of
the crime l see no evidence of men,
tai disease" replied DR.. Patrick.
Three other long hypothetical
questions, involving the various
idiosyncrasies Of Loeb's personality
and some unusual physical charac-
teristics, brought the same response.
II found nothing in my examina
tion, nor in printed reports, to lead
me to diagnosis of mental dis
ease," said tLo doctor.
Another hypothetical question as
to a man of Loeb's intellectual quail
tiles and another as to a man Of
Loeb's impulsiveness, brought the
. same reply that they were attributes
of normal people.
Perfectly Normal
"They are perfectly normal reac-
tions," said Patrick, "everyone at
times, is more or less depressed. I
apprehend that there is no one who
does not have phantasies regarding
the thing he is interested in. Air
castles in Spain is the more COM
mon term. 1t is a highly normal
procedure. Some persons indulge in
it more than others. This thing of
having phantasies for 80 minutes
before going to sleep is not a path
illogical condition at ALL"
DR.. Patrick, with humorous
sparkle in his \ eyes, remarked:
"Night before last I had a phantasy
1f appearing on the witness stand
aid of the questions that might be
asked me-"
Course of Phantasies
,"Phantasies naturally take the
line of the mental attitude of the
individual" DR.. Patrick testified.
IF a man has artistic ability his
mind naturally follows subjects
along that line. If scientific he
may have phantasies regarding a
scientific discovery"
Loeb and Leopold sat with stolid,
unchanging faces as they heard the
witness proclaim them sane. Leo
pold rested his elbows on a chair
arm and cushioned his chin with
his hand. Loeb, hand in his lap,
stared at the witness. Occasionally,
as has been their habit during the
10 days of the hearing, the youths
held whispered conversations.
Leopold's statement of feeling
of inferiority was perfectly natural,
DR.. Patrick said, and cannot be
termed an inferiority complex be-
cause Leopold actually was inferior
in athletics.
