STORM CAUSES
HEAVY DAMAGE
AROUND FARGO
Lives of 1900 Endangered
When Bolt Strikes Moor
head School
BUILDINGS WRECKED
South Side of Fargo Feels
Hardest Effect of
Cyclonic Storm
BUILDINGS WRECKED

Fargo, June 6-Fargo and Moor
head were lashed by cyclonic wind
between $3.50 and 10 last night with
heavy property damage, confined
largely to Moorhead and a small area
in the southern residential district
Of Fargo.
During the heighth Of the storm
the lives of about 1900 persons,
crowded in the Moorhead high school
auditorium, were endangered by a
bolt Of lightning that struck the
building just as the University of
Oslo chorus was singing its closing
number.
Bolt Hits Building
Unbeknown to the audience the
bolt ripped the plaster in two sec
tions of the auditorium ceiling and
it wasn't until the major part of the
crowd had left the building that the
fact that lightning had struck the
building became known.
In Moorhead. the Moorhead News
building was badly wrecked, almost
the entire east wall of the one
story printing plant in which J. p.
Dotson of Fargo recently purchased
an interest, being blown out, while
numerous store fronts burst under
the pressure Of the storm.
Box Car Blocks Train
The Great Northern passenger To-
cal from CroOkstOn to Fargo, pro-
ceedingly cautiously at the outskirts
Of the Moorhead yards, collided with
boXcar that had been blown out
on the line, but the train was going
so slowly that no damage occurred.
The passengers were brought into
the city in taXicabs, and the track
cleared and the train brought into
Fargo shortly after a. M.
About Is telephone poles were torn
down and lodged on the right of way
just east of the Moorhead station of
the Great Northern with no further
damage.
Shade trees throughout Fargo and
Moorhead were heavily hit, hundreds
of them being either wholly Or par
TALLY destroyed with streets partial
ly closed in some districts as a. re-
suit. The south side of Fargo was
much heavier hit than the north
side.
South Side in Darkness
A large section of the south side
Of Fargo went into darkness with the
storm as main feed wires from the
downtown plant were put out of
commission by falling trees.
In the business district of Fargo
practically no damage was done. In
fact, crowds in downtown theaters
were unaware of the fact that a
storm Of any proportions was in pro-
gress.
The Moorhead business district,
especially that along Center avenue,
was hard hit with store fronts out
and numerous large signs wrecked.
Records of the storm are unavail
able as the equipment Of the Moor
head weather bureau was wrecked.
The bureau equipment previously
had withstood 5O-mile winds.
Apparently the storm swept upon
the two cities from the southwest. 1t
followed two days of extreme hu-
midity and drop in the barometer
just prior to the storm to $3.50
compared with a 20 plus normal.
No casualties or reports of injur-
les of any persons were received.

GERMANY TOLD

GUN FACTORY
Berlin Financial Leader
Says Nerves of People
Near Breaking Point

London, June 6.-Germany's fail
ure to carry out the disarmament re-
quirements of the Versailles treaty
were outlined in detail in the note
the allied powers have presented to
the German government, the text of
which was made public here yester-
day. The note was handed to Chan
cellor Luther in Berlin Thursday
Germany must comply with an eX
tensive list of rectifications and de-
mands before the disarmament obli-
cations of the peace treaty are con-
sidered fulfilled, justifying the eva
cuation of the first, or Cologne,
zone of occupation.
The chief of these sweeping de-
mands includes radical modification
of the rcichswehr's general staff, re-
duction Of the countyy's military
forces to 100000 men, and suppress
sion of short term enlistments. The
military character Of the security
police must be abolished and the
force itself reduced from 10000 10
10000. Wholesale destruction of in
dustrial plans of the Krupps and a
dozen other big concerns which in
their present state are held adapta-
BILE for. the production of war ma
terial is demanded.

EXPERT TELLS
HOW TO FIGHT
CHAIN STORES
Paul Ivy Advises Merchants
of City TO Establish
Salesmanship Club

The establishment in Bismarck Of
a salesmanship club to be conducted
and participated in by the leading re-
tail merchants Of the city was ad
vocated by Dr. Paul w. Ivy who ac-
companied the St. Paul Trade tour
lists at meeting of merchants in
the Rialto theater last night. DR..
Ivy is professor of marketing at
Northwestern university and a mer-
chandising counselor.
Taking as his subject Better Mer-
chandising," DR.. Ivy pointed out that
chain stores are springing up in
large numbers because they are seiz-
ing the opportunities which the in
dependent merchant fails to grasp.
Chain stores are attractive. he said,
because they are kept clean and
painted and because the stock is
neatly arranged in bins. Their sales
people are courteous because they
have been trained to be so, he declar-
ed.
Should Talk Quality
"There is no reason why the indie
pendent cannot do what the chain
stores are doing" he continued. 1.-The
main thing chain stores emphasize
piiNC. AHucPcHuCut SlVIcS, LucIc-
fore. should talk also quality and not
only price. The man who will sell
his goods only on a price argument is
out of luck. The American public
has come to want quality and the
only way to sell quality merchandise
is to train the sales force to show
the public the difference between
price and quality.
"The advantages of the independ-
ent is that he can train statesmen that
stay and the disadvantage of the chain
store is that their employees are con-
tinually being transferred.
Educational Club
What ! advocate is the establish
ment in each town and city of a
salesmanship club under the auspices
of the Association of Commerce to
be conducted by the leading mer-
chants. This club will not be social
but entirely educational. Methods of
selling are discussed at these clubs
and demonstration sales are given.
ANY city which has club of this
sort will create an organization
against which the chain stores will
buck with little success"

NERVES BREAKING

Berlin. June 6.-President Schacht
of the Reischs Bank, commenting up
on the allied disarmament note to-
day said:
"Our nerves have just about reach
ed the cracking point and unless the
allied and associated powers listen
to reason and abandon their policy
of political heckling the German
boilers may blow up"
"What is needed is not more rea-
son in Germany but downright COM
mon sense among the allied and asso-
ciated powers, for the nation which
fails to understand the economic
needs of Germany is politically and
economically immature" Herr Sch
acht said.
His statement was made to news
paper man in a frank discussion of
the effects of the disarmament note
upon the German economic situation.
Germany will still be great
economic and producing power" he
said. "But our organization cannot
function if constantly exposed to
political pressure"
He added that he believed the only
danger for the Dawes plan was u
political one that politics in the end
would kill it,

LIST BY CITIES


Chicago, June 6.-The toll Of heat
wave and accompanying storms stood
at 238 today, SO persons having died
from causes traceable to the torrid
weather.
The east suffered the greatest,
Friday in the matter of victims of
the "air blockade" there being GO
east of Ohio and only 20 in the
Buckeye states and westward. In
addition there was one death from
the heat at Montreal, Canada.
Yesterdays death list by princi-
pal cities and state follows: New
York l6, Philadelphia l3, New Jer-
sey II. New England 49, upstate New
York 6, Kentucky 6, Pittsburgh 3,
Michigan 5, Ohio 5, Baltimore 4, Bos-
ton a, Chicago d, Indiana 4, Wiscon-
sin 3, Minnesota 3, St. Louis /. To-
day marked the beginning &C the sec
ond week Of the heat wave and at
least two more days of such weather
is in prospect with probably higher
temperatures in some places than
have been yet recorded this yea2.
Possibly by Monday there will be a
break in the heat wave the weather
bureau says but the forecasters are
not sure the air blockade IN the At
lantic states which has caused the
condition over the east and midwest
states would be pierced.
North Dakota and Minnesota were
hit last night by terrific wind
and electrical storm such as has been
frequent in the north central part
Of the country this week. A storm
lasting only a few minutes did heavy
damage at Crosby, Mimi, and other
disturbances of short duration but
great fury caused damage at Fargo,
N. d., and Moorhead, Mimi.
And again the far west, where it
is invariably cool at nipht even
though hot during the day, may
have grinned at the sweating east.
There was snow at Yellowstone Park
and temperature Of 38 was regis
tered at Tonopah in southern Me-
vada.
