greatly increased schedules and
further expansions. One leading
company is said to be looking for.
ward to doubling its 1898 produc.
ton this year.
All OF which tends to strengthen
belief in the prediction made

close to 100000. The Detroit
chamber Of commerce official pub
lication, which keeps close tab on
|all industries, also makes a similar
forecast In its current issue.

100000 cars in January ana plane
1850 in February. Whole de-
partmeuts are being moved and
conveying and power machinery.
Is being arranged looking toward
10000 output daily.
High mark in 1923 was little
over 1000 daily. Ford's Canadian

will reach 125, 900 against $4,000
In 1928. Ford also has plans made
for a new assembly and body
building plant in Philadelphia de-
signed to turn out 500 cars daily
and employing 1000 men with an
annual payroll OF $5,OOO.00O. In
all Ford win build close to 5000 !
900 cars this year compared with
2,2O0,682 motor vehicles in 1928,
which figure has just been an.
nounced officially by the Ford Motor
Company.
Chevrolet will nearly double its
1928 output which was approx
mately twice its 1922 production,
according to C. e. Dawson, In
charge Of sales. Company officials
have promised dealers that they
will do everything possible to avoid
this year a situation similar to that
of last year when they were un-
able to fill all orders.
Harry M. Jewett, president Of
Paige.Detroit, says that his com
pany's sales this year will double
those Of 1928 which were double
1922.
Dodge Schedule.
Dodge Brothers schedule for 1924
is 225,000 cars and trucks, compared
| with $4,000 In 1928. Untitled orders
for January were greater than In
1928 and stocks Of cars in dealers
hands are now less than they were
a year ago, it is said.
Willys-O Overland, which is expect
ing its 1924 demand and prOduc-
ton to be the greatest in history,
also has acquired a new plant in
Philadelphia in which initial out
put within four to six weeks viii
be 100 daily and win be increased
to 200 in q short time. John N.
WHY'S, its president. and also
chairman Of the foreign trade com.
mittee Of the National Chamber
Of Commerce, predicts by the way,
that exports Of automobiles which
this year amounted to 8 per cent
of the total production, win be
considerably increased, in the i'm
mediate future.
Studebaker operations are being
increased and will be on q ca
pacity basis February 1. Produc-
ton the first quarter is set at 49,
900. Actual deliveries so far have

ing period last year and untitled
orders for spring delivery greatly
exceed those Of 1928.

Nice. Feb. 11.ETen years ago
Mademoiselle Callnion was the most
beautiful girl in southern France.
While her popularity was at it's
height because Of her having won
first prize in a beauty contest, a
Nice merchant proposed marriage to
her and was accepted. He was draft
ed into the army before. their mar

affection cooled at the end Of his
military service, and he sought to
have the engagement cancelled. Mad
emoiselle Callynon, however, regained
his affections, and lived happily for
six years in the thought that, she
would one day marry the merchant,
but the, tenth anniversary Of their
bcthrothal he declared the engage

Mademoiselle Cailwon then brought
suit for 100000 francs damage
In the court she displayed the pic

THE DRAKE MILL

The announcement following the
audit made Of the Drake mill
showing a groa, loss by that insti
tuition of $89,G7811, viii bring the
fquestion To the minds OF every per
son in North Dakota What are
we going to do with this institn-

The year jnsi closed resulted in

the original dash into red iignres

operated by the state. The report
Of the accountant indicated that
last years loss was due to the
operation OF tine state owned mill

we'll Here we have an institution
competing with private business,
which needs worry not the slight
est if the balance at the end of the
year shows a deficit, for the tax

And while the state mill ut
Grand Forks was crippling the
operation of the little mill 1T

payers. what was it doing 10 the So
called privately owned and man

swer is easy. for.there is only one
answer.
If the state mill at Grand Forks
were operated under the same
rules OF business that govern
every other privately owned mill in
North Dakota, and under those
conditions secured so much bust
ness that small concerns were
forced to surrender in the battle
OF the survival of the fittest, then
there could be no complaint. In
other words when the Grand Forks

is denied the privilege of putting
its hand in the public treasury at

is sustained, then the men who for
thirty years have owned and oper-

county in the state will be get

There is no justification for tax
ing the privately-owned industry
to meet the deficit OF similar
state-owned industry with which it
is in competition.
The American idea of fair play

The point has been reached when

RISMARCK'S JUVENILE RAND

1t is necessary to have the whole hearted cooperation

free musical instruction through the cooperative efforts of
the Bismarck Board Of Education and the Association OF
Commerce Thrtyive of the most advanced of these will
appear free municipal concern at the Auditorium the
afternoon and evening of February H. These youthful
musicians have been holding almost daily practices to
give credabe performance. The Auditorium should be
packed to the roof for both appearances.
The chief object of those who interested themselves
in the development of this band educational 1t will take
probably several years to produce band that will meet all
requirements, but Bismarck the right path musicay
taking these youthful musicians and aordng them ade
quate instruction.
Not much money is needed to finance this project. To
date the Bismarck Juvenile Band has not made socta
for funds except the form of ticket sales for the var
benefits but in each of these instances the production
worth the price asked
In view of the fact that residents of Bismarck have
sponed well in the past it thought advisable to make
the first band free affair with silver offering for
those who to contribute to the support of this most
worthy project.
AS time goes and the public shows increasing
appreciation of the efforts being put forward this city will

LETTER FROM RiCHARD SUM.
MERS TO BEATRICE GRIM
SHAW

MY DEAR BEATRICE:
/ confess expected to. receive
some sort of letter in Chicago but
] hardly expected the one which you
wrote me.
In the first place, Bee, resent
very much the opinion yoy have of
Paula Perier. One would think she
was a modern vamp going about an
nexing all men she met.
She is nothing of the kind. She
is only a little woman who has had
a great deal of trouble, although
she tells no one of it. She has not
even told me, but sometimes when
she thinks that not even l am OBJ
serving her, her face is particularly
sad. No one could picture suffering
as she does if she had agonized.
/ cannot help telling you, Bee, tnat
we seem to have grown great ways
apart in the last three months. l do
not think l am wholly to blame, al
though I am sure it would never do
to take you. to Hollywood as my wife.
We thought we loved each otEer,
Bee, and because Of that. we came
very near making great mistake.
Don't jump at the conclusion that
/ am in love with Paula. am very
fond of her, yes, but even if loved
her devotedly do not, think she
would return it in any way
Perhaps that is one Of the great
charms Of Miss Perier. Men always
desire the unattainable. She seems
to be so sure of herself. No man
in Hollywood can say that Paula
Perier- has given him more than
a passing glance and she has had
