AS the fifth annual corn show is formally
opened today, larger than ever, it is interest
ing to look into the past and note how this ex-
position has grown. what it has done for the
farmers of North Dakota, and what it can do.
When the first corn show was held here, it
was small affair. There were few exhibits,
but there was a spirit and desire for service
which permeated the whole show and made it
a worthy parent exposition"
As the years have passed, the show has con-
stanty grown larger. The number of exhib-
it's has increased to the point where they ap-
proximate nearly 800, more than ever before.
Interest has been stimulated through the hold
ing of community shows ahead of the event
here. From present indications, attendance
records should be broken With such a fine
program as is being offered this year, there is
more incentive than ever to attend.
In the matter of service to the farmer, the
corn show must stand in class by itself. 1t
has proved that North Dakota is state where
corn can be grown successfully; it has stimu-
lated the growth of corn in this state and in
directly increased the acreage, thereby aiding
in the trend toward diversification.
AS the fifth annual corn show opens, there
fore, tribute should be paid to the men who
have been instrumental in it's rapid advance
ment. Officials of the show and members of
the committees have worked together to make
the show better institution every year. That
they nave succeeded, POSSIBLY beyond their
fondest hopes, is evident. Their work has
helped maintain the show as an exposition
whose prime purpose is to improve the lot of
the North Dakota farmer.
And to the exhibitors and visitors, Bis
marck's hearty welcome is extended. The cap
ital city OF the state takes pride in being the
corn capital Of the northwest. It's citizens are
ready to do anything in their power to make
the stay here enjoyable. They extend their
greetings, and they desire to do their share
in making the 1927 corn show the success it
deserves to be.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington, Nov. SO Harry
Sinclair, Teapot Dome has meant
the difference between a good OPP
portunity to become the worlds
greatest oil magnate and the pres
ent possibility that he will be
branded as q felon and sent to
prison.
The exposure of Sinclair's deal
with Fall to lease the naval reserve
at the Dome and take the navy's
oil is at least believed to have pre-
vented him from rising to a position
of prestige and power equal to that
Of Rockefeller and Deterding. Just
as the Elk Hills deal with Fall
helped diminish the industrial sta
ture of E. L. Doheny to the point
where he is understood to have sold
most Of his interests to Standard
Oil, SO Sinclair's indictment placed
him in the status Of mere in.
dependent operator.
At one time Sinclair hoped to oh.
tain concession covering all the
oil in Russia, which is supposed to
have the largest and most valuable
oil fields in the world.
About the middle of 1923, Sinclair
went to London and then to Mos.
COW, looking for this huge conces.
sion. Among his party were Albert
B. Fall, Archibald Roosevelt and
some Of the biggest men in his COM
pany.
The Soviets, with other revenues
reduced, were anxious to arrange q
transaction with some large foreign
oil company. TIER negotiations
with Standard Oil and some foreign
concerns had not been satisfactory
SO unsatisfactory. in fact, that
they had been developing for some
time their own oil wells and selling
the oil on world markets. From
several angles Sinclair's prospects
were bright.
The Bolsheviks were especially
anxious to lease the great fields OF
Baku and Grosni. They also want.

Commission Plan Defeated

jamestown will continue under the alder
manic system OF government as the result Of
a recent election. A few years ago cities rap
idly changed from the aldernlanic to the COM
mission form. In many instances, however, it
has been change for the wolse. There is
something that appeals to the average Ameri-
can citizen in the aldermanic scheme.
Every locality is represented in the city af-
fairs under the system of aldermen, one from
each ward. Criticism waged against the plan
is that at times few small wards not repre-
sentative of the city's population can block
the will of the majority. The answer to that
is strict reapportiOnment that at no time
will it be possible for minority control.
American cities have been getting away from
representative control Of the city's affairs.
The first step was the abolition Of parties in
city and county affairs. Next, AS far as the
cities and villages are concerned, came the
commission or federal plan for the government
of cities. This reaction set in as protest
against the boss control in the larger cities
It was thought that politics would be more
nearly eliminated from control of city admin
istrations under a commission plan. The ward
system has been blamed for many abuses in
municipal government.
But the pendulum is swinging back in the
other direction. Cities are finding that there
is some merit in having ward representation
that it is not always DESTROYS to have ma
jority of the city's fathers coming from one
section; that voters are better satisfied when
they can look up their alderman and tell him
their troubles and seek remedies by direct
contact.
Jamestown doubtless made wise decision
in its recent election. Cost Of city government
has mounted with the development Of the COM
mission form and this is more especially true
in smaller cities. If there is any merit in the
commission plan, the benefits accrue in a
greater measure in the case of large cities
rather than in cities the size of jamestown.
Our neighbor to the east will find the cost of
city government less under the aldermanic
than the commission form Of government, and
probably as efficient, too.

as tice, potatoes, or macaroni. If
starchy soup is desired, it is best
to use only one of the highly starchy
foods and combine it with one or
more of the non-starchy vegetables.
Cream also combines well with this

The soup which is the most diff
cult Of digestion, and which often
ruins an otherwise good meal is
that made with meat or fish in COM

100000 loan through Sinclair aus
pices hardly could have been real
lied without it.
In London, Sinclair outlined to
krassin, the Soviet ambassador, his
plan to take over the whole of Rus
STA enormous oil industry. Kras-
sin was in no position to discuss
matters on that basis, however-it
would have been one of the most
important industrial deals in world
hictory-and the party went on to
Moscow, where it was housed in a
palace.
In Moscow the groundwork was
laid for a concession, not as am
bilious as Harry's original vision,
but an important one such as no
other interest had been able to OBJ
tain, Sinclair departed. leaving his
European representative who, in
November, signed an agreement by
which q company in which the Soviet
and Sinclair were to share equally
was to exploit the Baku and Grosni
fields. Sinclair was to invest more
than $100,O0O,O0O and, furthermore,
was to float a Russian loan in New
York.
The feelings Of Standard Oil upon
receiving this news can only be
imagined. Standard had certain
claims on the Baku fields which
would have been worthless once
Sinclair got in. Sinclair had been
challenging that great corporation
both at home and in the foreign
field. Slch challenges were most
unusual insofar as American oil
men were concerned.
But when the lid blew off Tea
pot Dome, Sinclair became no longer
a serious rival of Standard Oil in
the great Russian oil fields.
There was no longer any possib-
ility that Sinclair could obtain
American recognition and there was
even less chance that he could raise
a $25O,000,000 Russian ban. There
were other promises. tacit or other.
