out the spring wheat raised in North
Dakota this demand could not be
supplied except ny Importation from
Canada.
"a great opportunity is presented
to the people IN North Dakota,
wherein they could secure at least a
50cent higher level If prices by con-
trolling and orderly marketing Of this
spring wheat.
Well Organized
"This Association is we'll organized
and has an efficient sales agency in
both Duluth and Minneapolis. It
now has reserve of some Sl52,-
10000, is in position to close its poo!
and send out it's final payments to
its members before harvest. .rhe As
sociation was able to make its final
payment for the 1924 pool. having all
payments in its members hands by
the 18th day of July.
AS there is usually a heavy with
drawal from banks preparatory to
harvesting the next crop, this money
in the farmers hands at that time
was great help to the bankers in
North Dakota as we'll as to the farm
ers themselves. This Association
makes substantial initial advance
at the time the farmer pools his
grain and other advances. taking into
consideration market conditions and
at all times the orderly marketing
Of this product.
. Unlimited Credit
"This Association has unlimited
credit with the Federal intermediate
Credit Bank of st. Paul end to the
extent of one million dollars for
shorttime credits with the Grand
Forks and Minneapolis banks. This
credit has been established by the
Association because it has followed
businesslike methods and paid its
obligations promptly. After an ex-
haustive search we find that this
Association would have saved the
farmers of North Dakota seventeen
million dollars on the 1924 crop,
provided all had received the pool
price.
Boost Wheat
"If it had been possible that xhe
Association could have received a
majority of the wheat in North Da-
kota there is no doubt but that there
would have been an entire rise in
price levels of at least fifty cents.
This statement is not an exagger-
alton for the Canadian pool, which
controls practically IS per cent of
the wheat raised there, has increased
its level of prices approximately so
cents. North Dakota has the most
productive soil, the finest wheat
grown here in the United, States,
and by real cooperation we can Sc
cure the highest prices"

Grand Forks, N. D.. Sept. 1.-LP)-
Support of the North Dakota wheat
growers pool will mean millions Of
dollars in the hands of North Dakota
farmers, A. J. Scott, secretary Of the
North Dakota Wheat Growers As
sociation, said here today.
Through selling their wheat on a
protein basis instead of on the old
marketing basis pool members have
been able to realize higher prices for
their crops. Other farmers could do
the same by following the same sys-
TEN, he said.
Support Of banker 5 and business
men for the protein marketing basis
will do much, Scott said, to advance
the interests of the farmer and
bring about more satisfactory con-
dition.
Sold on Pi iotcin
"The North Dakota Wheat Growers
Association has sold over it's tables
in the Chamber of Commerce in Min
neapolis every car Of wheat on it's
protein value for the three years it
has been in operation" said Scott
ut has preached the gospel of the
value of the spring wheat raised
here in the state, not only through
its organ, the Wheat Grower, but
from the public platform.
"In North Dakota we have a
special advantage over the other
wheat growing states for the reason
that we raise 20 per cent of this
special variety Of wheat. BY control,
ling this wheat, by orderly marketing
of it, and being in position to get
its protein value, millions of dollars
could be returned to North Dakota,
which has been lost in the past.
Need Protein Standard
"The eleyators in North Dakota
find it impossible to pay the farmers
on the basis Of the protein value that
their wheat contains for the reason
that they are unable to protect them
selves under the old marketing sys-
tenn, consequently, only through the
Association are the farmers of North
Dakota able to realize Jon the value
of their wheat.

kind of tobacco that th&y grew. BY
controlling that commodity they have
increased the price of tdb"cco nearly
20 cents pound. In thht state they
raise so per cent of the hurley to-
bacco grown in the United States.
"A pool like the North Dakota
Wheat Growers Association could op-
crate to advantage even though other
states in the union were not organ

kind Of wheat, as it is necessary for

ating the line. Neither have you any
power or authority, in the absence Of

lows that you have no authority and
no power, in the absence of legisla-

CITE NEED
FOR UNITED
CHURCH WORK
Claim Big Proportion of City
Residents Untouched by
Religion

While statements made at con-
ference Sunday of church executives
noted the fact that too large pro-
portion of the population Of Bis
marck was untouched by religious
contact, church attendance in this
city has not declined according to
a consensus of opinion among the
ministers of the city. One leading
clergyman commenting upon the mat
ter said:
1T was unfair to the Protest
ant people in the city to have
the report 60 out through the
State that there had been such
sharp falling of in church at
tendance that means had to be
found to stem such q decline.
II have never seen a more vi
tai interest in church attendance
or more activity in all church
affairs during my IL years min
istry in North Dakota. Even in
the hottest weather of the sum-
mer I have. been greeted with
splendid congregations both
morning and evening. l find no
reason for discouragement. On
the contrary I find much reason
for encouragement.
"Of course things could be
much better, and we do need
more real conservation on the
part of all church members, but
we are not waging losing fight,
we are marching under the or
ders of a victorious and con-
quering Christ"
Concerted action on the part of
city churches is vital need in Bis
marck, Rev. Paul Wright, local pas
tor. declared today. The city has
lapsed into spiritual lethargy, he
stated.
"Our churches are not reaching
as large as proportion of the city
population they should Rev. Wright
asserted. 1--WE need a spiritual
awakening amok.. church-goers which
will be the first step in reaching
that portion of city residents who
are inactive in church attendance"
There is demand on the part of
laymen as we'll as clergy for a re-
vival among church members, Rev.
C. F. Strutz announced.
"Church attendance is as high in
Bismarck as in other Cities" he de-
clared.

THE POOR FISH!

Washington-Science has been able
to discover but little about the SWELL
fish, which pumps itself full of air
with amazing swiftness, and swells
up into a balloon. Investigations.
however. have determined that the
fish uses its pumping power for pro-
lection. When it is pursued by an
enemy, it fills itself with air, arises
to the surface and is blown along by
The wind, escaping hs sneny.

Navy seaplane PN-9, No. /. attempt
ing a nonstop flight from San Fran
cisco to Hawaii. had completed half
of it's journey Of 2,lO0 nautical miles
between five and six o'clock this
morning.
To that time the plane had made
an average speed of slightly more
than II nautical miles, the equivalent
of a fraction less than 81 land miles,
an hour. In the early hours of today it
was exceeding the speed it had
maintained earlier in its flight and
was making up the time it had been
behind its schedule.
When the Plane passed over the
destroyer Cory, 600 miles from the
Golden Gate, it was more than an hour
behind it's schedule. BY the time it
passed the destroyer Meyer. station
ed 500 miles from the California
Coast, it had reduced this to 80 min
utes.

passed the Destroyer Doyen and was
speeding toward the Airship Tender
Langley, came from the Doyen Mt
4:45 o'clock, 13 hours and 81 minutes

Bay, figured as the official point of
departure.
The other plane was often on the
surface of the Pacific ocean, 800 nau-
tical miles from San Francisco with
the destroyer william Jones stand
ing by to give aid if necessary. Re-
ports from the Jones were that the
plane, the PMS No. 3, was in no diff
ficulties and that its crew was at
tempting to rise again to resume it's
flight, or to return to this city.
Recover Plane
A few minutes after Rear Admiral
William Moffatt, chief of the Naval
Areonautical Bureau and Captain
Stanford E. Moses, flight project
commander. had ordered the Nine
sweeper Gannett, with its equipment
for hosting plane from the water,
to hasten from this port to the point
where the PN-9, No. 3, was forced
into the water about four hours and
a half after the start Of the flight,
word was received from the destroyer
William Jones, that it had taken the
plane in tow. Commander B. B. Tay-
lor. of the William Jones advised
Admiral Moffatt that he was making
seven knots an hour with the plane
and was directed to proceed slowly
toward San Francisco. while the Gan
nett continued toward him.
Start Tomorrow
Adjustment of the new power plant
in the PB-1 plane, the $4,000 pound
aircraft from Seattle factory. was
being made today by the expert ma
chinists who yesterday completed its
installation and made q short test
flight. Every effort was being made
to make the big Boeing plane ready
to start tomorrow afternoon on q
flight which it is now planned will
be IS miles longer than that on which
the PN-9 No. 1, was still flying. The
Boeing aircraft will be given orders
to continue, if possible, past the
Pearl Harbor landing on the island
to Oahu to Nawiliwilix, IS miles
farther west. Commander Of the
flagship still pursuing its flight to
the Hawaiian Islands is Commander
