Bismarck People to
Learn of Work Being
Carried on in Korea

A group of Korean officers of the
Salvation Army will visit Bismarck
Saturday and Sunday, May 20 and
30, and will give public program
at the city auditorium each evening
at 7:30 o'clock. The party will give
description Of Korean habits and
customs and the Army's work in
Korea. Korean natives will sing and
speak.
Eighteen years ago the first Sal
walton Army officers unfurlcd the
Army flag in Korea. One feature of
the work there is the day and night
schools, several Of which are now in
operation. The attendance at these
schools, the officers say, is made up
Of children who would not be in a
position to receive an education 9TH
erwise.
There is an industrial home for
boys and shoe making, tailoring,
farming and weaving are taught.
With the erection of dispensary
branch at Hong Kong this depart
mcnt Of Army work has assumed
larger proportions. There are now
1913 Salvation Army officers and 1853
Salvation Army centers in Korea.
The series Of meetings conducted
by the Korean officers throughout
the country have been q revelation
Of Korean conditions and attendanccs
everywhere have been excellent. The
local Salvation Army board feels con-
fident that the people of Bismarck
will support the project. No admis-
sion will be charged, although an Of
fcring will be taken.
The party includes Major and Mrs.
Alfred Hill. who have spent 10 years
in the country and the following ma

EDDY COUNTY
FARMERS ARE
OVERSEEING
Greatly Increased Acreage of
Alfalfa, Clover, Corn and
Barley Shown

New Rockford, N. D., May 26.-lE)---
Eddy county has had its share of
the remarkable increase in alfalfa and
sweet clover acreage shown in recent
state surveys. County Agent Frank D.
Svoboda said here today. Alfalfa
acreage has Increased so per cent
and sweet clover 100 per cent. At
the same time corn, oats and barley
have taken 20 per cent jump in
THE last five years.
The rye acreage has decrca scd to-
gethcr with the total Acreage de-
voted to wheat. AS in numerous
other counties the durum wheat acre
age has increased hut not enough
to offset the failing off in spring
wheat production. AS compared with
five years ago spring whes2 shows a
1000 acre decrease.
Interest Shown In livestock
Greater interest is being taken by
Eddy county FARMERS in livestock
production, Svoboda said, attention
being conferred principally on hogs
and dairy cattle. Poultry and sheep
also are listed as important farm
items now and some interest is being
taken in beef cattle. Increasing use
of pure-bred sires is improving the
quality of all livestock.
Hard times are given by Sv0boda
as the reason for the change by Eddy
county farmers from few principal
crops to = large number Of different
crops.
Cooperative marketing organiza-
tons in the county have had NOR
or less precarious struggle, Svoboda
said, but farmers seem to retain
L. Al
for the farmers marketing ills.
A general feeling Of optimism is
noticeable this year, Svoboda said,
farmers finding credit better and
more attention being given to develop
ment operations. Eddy county had a
good crop in 1925 and prospects for
1926 are fair.
Twelve farms have been sold re-

Four of a Kind

Four hold-ups or attempted
hold-ups, were pulled off Satur-
day night right in close around
town, from within half a square
of the police station to as far
out as National Drive bridge
over the South Fork in the south
end-and all between half-past
ten Saturday night and two
o'clock Sunday morning.
The first encounter with the
footpad occurred to the young
lady organist at the Grand Thea
tre, who was passing an alley on
her way to her home on Clinton
street after the show about half
past ten, when an unknown man
halted her and demanded and Sc
cured her purse and money, not
withstanding she told him her
opinion of such conduct in good
plain kings English.
About an hour later, close in
the same neighborhood, as an in
offensive citizen was peacefully
plodding his homeWard way, a
masked man jumped in front Of
him, jammed a big six gun into
him about where his belt bisects
his body and forced him down a
dark alley, where he was quietly
going through his pockets when
an approaching taXicab scared
the highwayman away. This
happened on Clinton street too.
Again, just before midnight a
man and his wife visiting
friends south of the Second
Street bridge, believing riding
home the safest plan, sent in a
call for a cab. When the driver
came to cross the bridge he
found the road Obstructed with
several strands of heavy wire
laced across it, but the bold road
agents beat it" before the Off
GERS arrived.
The last hold up, and one
right in close to where the cops
do business, was pulled off at

two o'clock Sunday morning in
the alley adjoining the Red Star
bus station between Third and
Fourth streets on West Main.
Two gunmen, unmasked, held up
a driver for the Gray Top Cab
Co. at the company's office and
relieved him of about 500 in
cash. They made their escape
through the Arcade Annex be-
fore the police could be notified.
People who kick on this "old
dead town." where nothing ever
happens, should be reminded
that this is going some for just
about three or four hours in one
night, with prospects for livelier
times if business keeps on, which
it probably will when the boys
on the outside learn more about
our lack of police protection
owing to the insufficient num-
bers on the force.

MUSCLE SHOALS
Senator Norris Says Private Corpora
tiOns Would Grab Property

Washington, D. C.-"It is a matter
of common gossip around the capitol
that private interests are attempting
a new grab at Muscle Shoals" said
Senator Norris. In support Of this
charge, the Nebraska lawmaker call
ed attention TO support being given a
resolution passed by the house which
would create a joint committee to
deal with proposed offers for Muscle
Shoals by private corporations. ,
The senator asserted that his bill
to save the Shoals for government
ownership is being antagonized by
interests that desire to continue to
gouge the people through the subter-
fuge of making fertilizer for the
farmers. They have no thought thar
any large part of the power will ever
be used to produce fertilizer"
"In one case the gossip is so direct
as to indicate that the proposed offer
of one company is already drawn and
has been shown around the capital IN
advance of the legislation that we are
asked to pass" said Senator Norris.

that industrial psychology can

SOME LAW FOR ALL


One of the gravest argu-
ments against prohibition, as
now inadequately enforced, is
that the law means one thing
for the poor and another thing,
if anything at all, for the rich
and influential. In the distribu-
ton of padlocks the obscure
little joint disguised as a hat
shop or a beanery gets alto
gether more than its share; IN
fact, it probably gets them all.
