The sign above her windshield
reads: "In the service of the King"
Miss Aiken calls herself a "fre lance
for Christi" and her aim is to bring
.checr.-to hospitals. and prisons, and
any place where ex-service men. may
be. I,
Accompanying Miss Aiken are Mr..
and Mrs. Harry NJ. Bean, of Colum-
bus, Ohio. Mr.. Bean is an electrical
engineer. When he heard Miss
Aiken, he laughingly offered to act
as her chauffeur, but she took him
seriously, and he and his wife join
ed the party. Mrs. Carrie Tafel, a
contralto sometimes called the "sec-
ond Schumann-Heinck," hearing Miss
Aiken lecture in Cleveland, added
her services to the "Coast to Coast
for Christ" party. Then there is
Barney A. Roth, Philadelphia news
paper man and banjo player, who
twangs out inspiring music at the
meetings.
The largest churches in America
have given an hour for the recep-
tion of the message Miss Aiken
brings. She has fixed conviction
that the "buddies" who asked for the
message of Christ in the trenches
are still seeking it, and she is en-
deavoring to supply the need.
Miss Aiken and her party. will ar
rive in Bismarck today or tomorrow.

Chicago. Aug. (By the A. P.)-
The kidnapping and murder. Of Robert
Franks was planned as IAN intellec-
tual feat" on the part of Richard
Loeb. according to testimony given
today in the hearing which is to de-
eide punishment for him and Nathan
Leopold Jr., for that crime. This
revelation of Loeb's motive came
right at the end of the morning ses-
sion today, from DR.. william A.
White, first witness for the defense,
whose testimony was started after
Judge Caverly had overruled objec-
tions by the state directed against
all evidence as to the mentality Of
the defendants.
This ruling disposed of question
which had been argued for two days.
and which attorneys agreed constitut-
ed a precedent in Illinois for re-
ceiving evidence in mitigation of pun
ishment.
DR.. Whites testimony transformed
the companion of Leopold from
Richard Loeb, defendant in this
case," to "Gickie," child beset with
fantastic dreams of becoming either
the worlds greatest detective or a.
Ea'master mind.h dominating organiz-
ed enemies of society.
The witness called him "Dickie"
and Judge Caverly in ruling upon
the admissability of evidence about
the foolish governess,' who drove
the boy to deceit, used the term
twice himself.

Dolman refused at first to return
voluntarily, after Capt. Fred Lilly of
the prison guards had gone to Glen
dive to identify him. Warden Lee
was preparing requisition papers
when he received word Dolman had
his mind and would return
He was Brought back to the prison
at 10 o'clock this morning.
Dolmon told officers something of
his escape. He claimed that when he
left the prison farm he eluded the
posse of guards by hiding in an
abandoned house near the Hughes
Electric Light plant in Bismarck. He
remained there July 3 and during the
night, and just before dawn July 4
made his way on foot over the Miss
ouri River vehicYlar bridge to Man
dan. The officers are inclined to
doubt this story.
Dolman then hid at various places
In the outskirts of Mandan during
the day, while others were celebrat-
ing. he said. He slipped out to get
little to eat in various ways, he
said. On July 5 he made his way
north of Mandan where he secured
days work on farm for So, he
said, and then on July caugh. a
freight train for Glendive, Montana.
Warden Lee was not surprised at
.Dolman's capture. He had been in
trouble many times before and when
Dolman escaped the warden predict
ed that soon he would get in some
trouble and be recognized. His pic
ture had been sent to all officers in
the Northwest.

Judge John R. Caverly today over.
ruled objections by the state to
alienists' testimony offered in miti-
cation as to punishment by the at.

Richard Loeb
The ruling. which came after more
than two court days of argument,
was decided victory for the de-
fense but in mitigation of punish
ment."
The decision was momentous in
legal annals of this state as no
exactly similar situation could be
found by attorneys for either side

tensive than in cases which border

Immediately DR.. William White,
alienist from Washington, D. c.,
took the stand and stated his pro-
fessional connections, the stage
where his testimony was interrupt
ed Wednesday morning.

annually for each institution. me
American Bankers Association,
through it's Administrative Commit
tee, has placed itself squarely on rec
ord as being in favor of this measure
because it believes that what is thus
fundamentally good for farming is
good for the country.
What Farming Requires
Farming requires skill of no mean
sort. A farmer is ever facing new
conditions and must adjust his activi-
ties to cope with them. The problems
of the soil, of crop production, live
stock breeding and feeding, and bust
ness management of the farm call for
as high an order of brain power as
any industry. The young man of to-
day need not leave the farm for
career. There is abundant opportuni-
ty for the exercise of his best facul-
ties in helping to develop a basic
industry that affects the welfare of
every human being.
In or&er to farm properly and eco
nomicaily. the farmer must be equip
ped with a high degree of technical
skill. Farming by guesswork belongs
to the past. No longer can he gauge
his activities by the position and
shape of the moon Success demands
the application of the best knowledge
and experience available. New prob
lens arise daily New solutions must
be found Discoveries are being made
that affect practical farm methods
tremendously Insect pests and plant
diseases are constantly putting 10
their appearance and must be com
bated by the most effective methods
Competition makes that imperative
Old Ways Do Not Pay
Land prices have been soaring
Following the Civil War, immense
areas Of fertile land were available
almost for the asking. But today the
most efficient land Is all taken up, AMI
the expansion of our agricultural pro
duction must come from either in
creased yields per acre or from farm
ing the less efficient land. The higher
the price of land the greater the over
head. What was profitable on cheap
lands may be very Improbable on
highpriced land To meet these
changing conditions requires new
stores of knowledge and new methods
of applying knowledge.
Today many old methods of farm
Ing are inadequate and Improbable. |
Time was when it may have been |
cheaper to let horse or cow die |
rather than to go to the expense of |
calling a veterinarian. Today we
must discover new methods of treat
ng disease and saving our cows. We
must also discover ways and means
10 prevent disease, to improve our

II PER CENT CATTLE
ON FEED DECEMBER ]

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 11.-There were
only about Sc per cent as many cattle
on feed in the eleven corn belt states
on December 1 this year as on the
same date in 1928, according to pre-
liminary estimates of the Department
of Agriculture. The number on feed
in the western and Pacific states was
around 90 per cent of last year. This
estimate is based upon the movement
of StOcker and feeder cattle in the
corn belt and in the different states
IN the two years and upon state esti-
mates made from reports of indiv-
idual feeders as to their own opera
tons and from estimates of live
stock reports.
In the corn belt the reduction in
feeding is about the same both east
and west of the Mississippi river. All
OF the impOrtanat feeding states show
reductions of Is per cent or more ex-
cept Kansas. The state percentages
