as Union Treasurer for

WHEELER COMES BACK

Washington, Aug. 20.--scnator La
Toilette, independent candidate for

leased today of the likelihood of the
necessity to realign his forces by the
statement in New York last night by
Warren S. Stone, head of the broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, de-
nying that he had resigned as treas
urer Of campaign funds solicited
from labor organizations and their
members.
Reports that Mr.. Stone was pre-
pairing to relinquish the task assign
ed him in the Independent organiza
tion were accompanied by intimations
of differences and some talk of a
split, but the latter was denied on all
sides.
Senator Wheeler, Mr.. LaFollettes
running mate. travelling by automo-
bile from the Massachusetts, South
Shore where he spent three weeks
with his family sent word yester rday
that he expected to be to capitol

ANTI-SM0KES
LEADER DIES
Lucy Page CASTOR Was Foe
of Cigarettes

Chicago, Aug. 2O.--(By the A. P.)-
Miss Lucy Page CASTOR, founder of
the National Anti i-Cigarette League,
died today in Hinsdale hospital.
Miss CASTOR was injured in street
car accident several months ago
Physicians were uncertain to what
extent her injuries contributed to her
death. She was concious until half
hour before death, physicians said.
Undaunted by ridicule which Miss
CASTOR received, she was the arch
enemy of tobacco for more than a
quarter of century
In spite of her admission that
smoking among women and boys was
on the increase, she continued her
efforts. She sent letter to the
late President Harding asking him
to quit smoking cigarettes. and ask
ed other dignitaries to do the same,
During the war, when relatives we're
supplying soldiers with cigarettes.
she never relaxed her efforts, even
in the name of patriotism.
She was an associate of the late
Francis Willard, she had edited the
Citizen, published at Harvey, Ill.,,
and later the Boy Patriot, among
reform journals. Her aggressive
spirit sometime appeared in clashes
within her organization. When the
Kansas branch of the national Anti
cigarette League objected to the
publication of magazine there she
resigned as president of the league,
but her resignation was not accept
ed.

STORM
CARRIES HAIL
WITH IT TODAY
Report Received From Tim
mer That Hail Does Much
Damage Around There
RAIN HERE is HEAVY

A severe electrical and rain storm,
which struck Bismarck about two
o'clock this afternoon also brought
a trace of hail to the city with it.
1t is believed heavy hail damage was
done in some places.
A half-inch of rain fell in Bis
marck within period of about a
h"lf an hour, before 2:30 p. m., with
likelihood of rain still falling. 1t
appeared, according to weather OBJ
servers, that the storm which came
from the southwest, went on east
toward Jamestown, covering wide
territory.
The Northern Pacific railroad re-
ccived a report from Thinner, in
southern Morton county near the
Missouri river, that heavy hail
storm did great damage there.
The storm appears to be working
east, according to reports received
by the 500 railroad. 1t began rain
ing at Wilton at 3:15, but rain is
reported at no other place north of
here, although rain is reported across
the river. Rain is falling between
here and Wishek.
A light hail is reported at Kin
tyre; the amount of damage done
was not known.

Bad Weather Prevents Elk.
pected Hop-off Today

Reykjavik. Iceland. Aug. 2O.--(By
the A. PD-The American around the
world fliers had made preparations
to start this morning on their long
hop to Fredericksdal. near Cape Fare
we'll, east of Greenland, but unfavor-
able weather conditions again forced
them to abandon their intention. A
gale delayed the arrival here of the
United States Cruiser Richmond,
which is bringing spare parts with
which the two machines can be re-
paired.
The Richmond, which was to have
arrived here at 4:3O o'clock this
morning, will not arrive until 9
o'clock and the necessary repairs to
the planes will take at least two
hours.
Realizing the probable delay in the
arrival of the Richmond. Rear Admir-
al Thomas P. Magruder had made
preparations for sending the mater
ial with which to repair the planes
to Reykjavik by means of scout air
planes On board the cruiser but the
plan was abandoned because heavy
gale was blowing there this morning
and because of uncertainty regarding
the landing of the scout plane.
The Richmond arrived at 9:O4
o'clock this morning and spare
parts for the damaged airplanes
were Immediately brought ashore.
The fiers will not leave today be-
cause of the strong gale. 1t is un-

WHEAT INCOME
IN n. D. RISES
$15,000,000
This Excess Over 1923 Is
Estimated by Wheat Grow
ers Head on Estimates

Grand Forks, Aug. 2O.-With an
estimated increase in the wheat crop
over last year to so million bushels,
and prices about 30 cents higher, the
farmers in North Dakota stand to
increase their income on wheat alone
approximately $l5,O0O,OOO This state
ment was made by Geo. f. Duis,
president of the North Dakota Wheat
Growers Association.
RYE prices have gained 10 cents
bushel since June 19, and North
Dakota boasts one of the biggest rye
crops in years; oats have increased
in price in like manner, which will
also add to the wealth of the farm
ers in this state" Mr.. Duis declared.
"The North Dakota Wheat Grow.
ers Association will likely handle
about 25 million bushels of wheat
this year, and if present prices are
maintained, and there are indica-
tions that they will 60 still higher.
our members will gain over mil
lion dollars over what they received
for their last years crop. This in
crease in price is due, not only to a
short wheat crop throughout the
world, but due to the strength Of
the wheat pools and the disposition
of farmers to market their wheat in
an orderly manner" he asserted.
"rhis increased income of North
Dakota farmers is largely velvet, for
the 1924 crop was planted at min
imum expense, the farmers cutting
down their overhead in every way
hiring very little help, getting along
with old machinery, and otherwise
cutting corners.
