TWOCONVENTIONS
HELD NEXT WEEK
J. AT CAROLINA INN
University Extension People to
Gather on Monday; Then
the Alumni Workers
LATTER IN 3 DIVISIONS

It's going to be a busy week
at the Carolina Inn.
Between rs and 100 repre-
sentatives of 35 institutions will
gather Monday for the three
day convention of the National
Universities Extension Associa-
tion and the day they close their
proceedings, Wednesday the
9th, sees the beginning of the
14th annual conference of the
Association of Alumni Secre-
taries, the Alumni Magazines
Associated, and the Association
of Alumni Funds.
The Inn will be able to accom-
mOdate the Extensionists; but
there is not enough room for
the alumni workers, and many
of them will be quartered at the
, Washington Duke in Durham
and will come over 10 Chapel
Hill every day by automobile.
Glenn Frank, president of the
University of Wisconsin, and
Edward A. Filene of Boston,
who were to be the principal
speakers at the extension meet
ing, have sent word that they
will not be able to attend. Ches-
ter ID. Smell, former member of
the faculty here, is expected in
tomorrow evening, but he will
have to leave Monday evening in
order to be present at hearing
of committee of the Wisconsin
legislature.
The first session of the alum
nj workers will be a directors
meeting at 2 P. NJ. Wednesday.
That evening there will be an
informal gathering on the Inn
lawn.
The general alumni associa-
ton of the University of North
Carolina will entertain the del

Chapel Hill Chaf

Except for professional bot
anists, males seem to know little
or nothing about flowers. At
least, this is true within my ac-
QUaintance. The rose, the vio-
let, the daisy, the honeysuckle-
these and two or three other
species are about all | can name
when / see them. / hear of
azaleas, and petunias, and gladi-
olas, and verbenas, and heaven
knows how many more, but in
my mind they are all a tumble.
Sometimes | get tired of display
ing my ignorance. A woman
who passed by my home few
days ago, pointing to a large
bush by the porch, asked me
what it was, and | replied; ITS
a South African juniper" That
sounded as good as anything
else. She went on her way sat
isfed.
One of the tribulations of the
women in Chapel Hill is to have
to wait in automobiles on the
street while their husbands
ramble through the mail and
gossip in the post-office lobby.
There seems to be no cure for
this masculine failing. The
sound of a footing horn does not
reach the lobby, and the profess
sOrs' and others hover over the
writing tables and engage in con-
versatlon about politics, China,
evolution, golf, and other en-
crossing topics. But if they
forget and wander out on the
steps they are promptly called
to order, for here the horns, are
audible. The other morning Col

Hall Lost in Durham
Richmond Physician Goes To and Fro
Before Getting on Right Road

DR.. James X. Hall drove in
from Richmond, Virginia, Sun
day for a visit to the Mae
Niders. He arrived in Durham
shortly after nightfall and stop
ped at the Washington Duke
hotel to have his shoes polished
and to eat supper.
Emerging from the hotel, he
found his sense of direction d
little uncertain. He had been in
the city often, but the erection
of the monster hotel and other
changes made things look unfa-
miliar. So he asked a boy which
way to Chapel Hill. The boy
pointed to the corner and said /:
Turn to the left and just fol-
low Chapel Hill street straight
out"
Five or ten minutes later the
physician hailed a man and ask
ed if he were on the right road.
No" said the man, you are
on the way to Greensboro" In
reaching the five points corner,
DR.. Hall had veered to the right
and gone out past Duke Univer-
sity instead of going south un-
der THE railroad. -
He turned the Packard about
and went back into Durham.
Again he halted and sought from
another stranger the reassur-
ance that he was bound for
Chapel Hill. The stranger re-
piled: mo, you're on the way to
Raleigh. Again Dr. hall mad
passed through Five Points,
bound east.
At last he got careful and ex-
plicit directions. But he was
despatched out by way of the
new road through Forest Hills
and lockwood. He had never
seen or heard of this route, and
as he whirled on through the
darkness he feared he was
wrong once more. But he got
here around II o'clock.
DIR. Hall went about the viii
lage for day or so, dropping
in on some of his friends, and
he also attended sessions of the
medical convention in Durham.

Curtis-Crisp Bill
Bitterly Attacked

Grand Forks, n. D., Jan. 3l.-LP)
A bitter attack on the proposed
Curtis-Crisp bill for farm relief is
made by X. l.. Taft, cashier of the
North Dakota Wheat Growers asso-
citation, in a communication received
here by Sidney Papkc, editor of the
North Dakota Wheat Grower.
Taft asserted that the bill is in
reality Il deceptive and ingenious at
tempt to block. helpful legislation for
agriculture" and that ''its authors do
not expect or want it to pass. They
expect to offer it as "A substitute for
the McNary Haugen bill, and if they
can get enough votes to put it across
as ii substitute, farm legislation will
be killed for the session"
It's defects, Taft asserts, are that it
is economically unsound, unavoidable,
price fixing, and involves a govern
ment subsidy if it ever works to
help agriculture
He charged that sit was apparently
drawn with the idea that members of
congress would not understand it. 1t
is widely proclaimed as the quintes-
sence of all farm bills hitherto pre-
scented, but is in reality q deceptive
and ingenious attempt to block help
full legislation for agriculture"
Terming the proposed bill a "mon-
strosity." Taft concluded with the
statement that ut is despicable and
reflects great discredit upon those
known to have inspired the BILL"

Carr Has Hard Time
Getting Members to
Limit Their Remarks

Including the members to confine
their talks to the matter in hand is
the hardest part of the job of being
speaker of the North Dakota house,
according to John w. Carr Of James-
town, who Yields the gavcl in the
lower body. 1'0
Carr is making an earnest effort to
speed up the work Of the house 80
that adjournment may be had early
on March 4, the last day of the ses-
sion. His hope is that all that will
remain to be done on the afternoon
Of the last day will be to clean up
few details and say goodbye. With
that end in view he is planning to
drive the work along as rapidly as
possible and expresses the hope that
the house members will cooperate to
the fullest. One way they can do so,
he explains, is by keeping to the
point in their discussions and making
their arguments as brief as possible.
Carr has hcsitatcd to gavel down
the members this early in the session
but has given warning that, in the
future, he will enforce the rules
more strictly in an effort to keep the
legislative mill grinding at top
speed.
He has suggested that a number
of night meetings be interspcrsed
with the regular sessions fairly early
in the session to avoid the wearisomc
grind of night meetings which always
attend the last few days Of the ses-
sion.

Newspaper Bills
Fail to Receive
Needed Majority

Two bills for which the North Da-
kota Press Association fought in vain
went down to defeat Saturday in the
house. Neither received the two
thirds vote which would have been
necessary to change the initiated law
which they were intended to amend
and one failed to receive a majority.
The first would have permitted the
printing of statements by insurance
companies in other than official
newspapers. The second would have
permitted towns and cities to select
~ official newspaper other than the
official county newspaper.
Contrary to expectation there was
no 1ebate on either measure.

Senate Passes
Normal School

Bills appropriating $6l9,3O0 for
three state normal schools for the
next two years were passed by the
state senate Saturday.
The bills appropriate $287,95O for
the Minot normal, $178,85O for the
Mayville normal and $4,000 for the
Dickinson normal. The Dickinson
normal appropriation is $4,000 more
than was recommended by the budget
board. and the Minot appropriation is
5000 increase over the budget
board recommendations. After some
mcrriment over the bill, the senate
got down to business and, over the
objections of Senator w. T.. Martin,
Morton county, passed the bill Great
ing state board of hairdressers and
cosmetologlsts to regulate beauty
parlors of the state. The vote was

Martin first moved that the mea-
sure be postponed until Monday that

er motion. which carried.
A bill lrdfhfttihs cities to spread

which many companies gain from the
frequent introduction Of new models.
Dodge Brothers, Inc, rate of growth
last year nearly nine times as rapid
as that of the automotive industry
as whole, which made q production
gain Of only 3.3 per cent over 1925.
Figures compiled by the National Au-
tomobile Chamber of Commerce for
1926 place production Of all automo-
bile manufacturers at 4,489, 900 cars
and trucks.
Graham Brothers, the truck divi-
sion of Dodge Brothers, Inc, also
make striking showing with gain
over 1926 of 55.7 per cent in sales
to dealers. The rate of gain was
approximately eight times as fast as
that Of the entire truck industry last
year. National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce figures show that the
output for the whole truck industry
was per cent larger in 1926 than in
1925. Total sales of Graham Broth
crs trucks and motor coaches to deal
ers in 1926 amounted to 37,463 units.
Combined sales of Dodge Brothers
commercial cars and Graham Borth-
crs trucks to dealers last year total
cd 67,293 units, an increase Of 1927
per cent over sales of 5O,713 vehicles
in 1925.
Despite factory production and
shipments by Dodge Brothers, Inc, Of
a record number of passenger cars
and trucks in 1926, stocks in dealers
hands and in transit December 81
were substantially smaller than ut
the close of the previous year.

FAMOUS WOMAN
SWIMMER dies
Sybil Bauer, e, Holder of
Many World Records, Sue
cumbs to Long Illness

Chicago, Jan. 3l--LP) -Sybil Bauer,
23-year- old holder ~ all worlds
back-stroke records IN the womcn's
class, died at Michael Reese hospital
early today following an illness that
developed last winter.
Miss Bauer had been in the hos
pitai 81 days, critically i'll, but Stws
Of her death came as shock, as re-
cent reports had noted an improve
mcnt in her condition. 4
At her bedside, were her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bauer, her two
brothers, Valentine and George
Batter, her sister, Dorothy, and Ed
ward Sullivafs, New York newspaper
man, to whom she was to have been
married in June.
Miss Bauer held % worlds back
stroke records in all distances from
the 100 meter to the quarter mile
event. Her victories included tho,
1924 Olympic games back stroke
championship.
Despite her comparative youth,
Miss Bauer had been engaged in
aquatic competition for nearly eight
ycars. She first took to the water
when she was Is years old, student
in high school. Her career ran con-
current with that Of another great

next spring than last spring. the de-
pressed prices that weres l36ksd for
may not appear.
LAMBS
Indicated supplies of lambs for the
next two months are not favorable to
any considerable advance in lamb
price. The industry is still on rel
ativcly high level, paying better than
market price for feed consumed and
producers arc generally showing q
profit. During the month Of Dccem-
Der, fat lamb prices reached the low
est point Of any month since 1921.
Receipts ut seven markets were
about per cent above December,
1925, but prices were off nearly "a
per hundredweight. Thirteen sheep
countries. in the world indicate m
increase of 3 per cent in number Of
sheep in 1926 compared to 1926, MAX
ing the number in these countries
nearly on prc-war level again.
Still further increases are to be ex-
pcctcd in 1927. :.
Dairy Production
With the unusually favorable rcla-
ton of butter prices to feed prices
during recent months, 1t seems likely
that the winter increase in produc-
tion will be larger than usual, as has
occurred in previous years Of rela-
lively low feed prices Should such in
creased production occur, the decline
in butter prices would tend to be
greater than usual.

Senator Fleckten of
Ward Would Fine All
Solicitors BARRIERS

Some members Of the North Da-
pressed desire to talk back" to the
barber who gently insinuates, after
their modest shave or haircut, that
they could do with shampoo, a
massage or treatment for badness.
This came to light last week when
Senator J. E. Flcekten of Ward county
offered an amendment to Il pending
bill to provide S. fine for every
barber who insists on soliciting that
his patient submit himself to further
tonsorial ministrations.
The acclaim with which Flccktcn's
amendment was received by other
members of the senate state affairs
committee showed that he was not
alone in the complex" which bcscts
men in the BARRIERS chair. Five other
members decided that their BARRIERS
were either too solicitous or too talk
ative and voted with the gentleman
from Ward"
However, the rest of the committee,
apparently more sophisticated, jecred
at the suggestion. 1.-The easy ones
will get stung anyway-let them pay
another 80 cents to learn better" was
the gist of their remarks.
This led to "A general discussion of
barber shops and the ways Of BARRIERS.
One senator said that the blac ksm it'll
in his home town shavcs the gentle
men of the village after he shoes the
horses. Another told of many !; time
he had sat in chair in pool hall

Incidentally, four baldheadcd
of the committee took an
active part in the discussion.

than the crop in 1924. Argentina il
the chief flax producing country in
the world.
Without a doubt, the large crop Of
1925 was responsible for the drop in
flax prices during the last year.
Present prices in Fargo have been
averaging under 81 most Of the time.
Barley and Oats
Barley production in 1926 was 8
per cent less than in 1925 in America,
while in Europe there was slight
increase. There has been some ten
dency for upturn in barley prices and
still further increases may be looked
for. IS
The local feed shortage in various
sections of North Dakota and South
Dakota are undoubtedly stimulating
the price of both barley and oats
within the state. Many elevators are
paying considerable margins over the
card price. Dat production was II
per cent below last year in North
America, and this, doubtless, accounts
for some increase in price.
The Seed Situation
Prospects are for comparatively
high prices Of seed during the COM
ing spring. There is gradual in
creasing demand for sweet clover
seed. the retail price being at the
fprescnt moment, SIS and SIG per hum
bred. Probably very little sweet
clover will be sold for less than $l4
|per hundred this spring.
Grimm alfalfa seed is somewhat
below normal at 81 to 40 cents per
pound. The. retail price quotation on
timothy is $3.50 per hundred.
Seed corn is listed at very high
prices, Northwestern Dent being
quoted at $500 per bushel, Gehu at
$3.50. Fodder corn may be bought
for 1925 per bushel. Siberian and
German millct are listed at $3.50 and
$500 per hundred, respectively.
Beef Cattle
Most available evidence points to
smaller supplies of all cattle during
the first quarter Of 1927 than 1926,
and q steady to strong market at
present seems probable. The beet
cattle market was generally strong
during December, but there was some
tendency toward narrowing the price
range between feeder and prime fat
cattle.
/ Hogs
The spring advance in hog prices
which usually comes in March OF
April, will probably be somewhat dc.
layed and less marked than usual
indications are that hog prices may
ride at the top Of the cycle for some
time to come. The>pig survey showed

MILLERS VOICE
OPPOSITION TO
LABEL MEASURE
CHIN Proposed Law UnwOrk-
able - Proponents Say II
Would Help Wheat Market

Seven North Dakota millcrs APP
pcared here Saturday in opposition to
the flour label bill advocated by Gov
crnor Sorlie in his message to the
Legislature and which the executive is
trying to force through the senate as
quickly as possible.
All objected to the proposal that
their labels show what kinds Of
wheat and the proportions which en-,
ter into their flour and the states in
which the wheat was produced. 1t
would be unavoidable, they said, be-
cause Of the fact that they are forced
by circumstances to buy wheat in
states other than North Dakota and it
would be practically impossible to
comply with the terms of the bill.
One miller contendcd that the bill
was designed to benefit the state mill
and elevator at Grand Forks,
OF which the governor is
ex-officiO manager, in that it
would place restriction on private
millcrs which the state mill would
not observe itself and which it could
not be forced to observe.
The hearing was held at joint
meeting of the state affairs commit
tees of the senate and house.
Twichell Leads Discussion
l.. l.. Twichell, chairman Of the
house committee and leader Of the
opposition to the bill, led the dis
cussion of the measure, asking nu-
merous questions designed to bring
out it's weak points. He is expected
to contest it bitterly if it passes the
senate and is referred to his com
mittee in the house.
Millers entered into the technical
aspects of their business to demon
strate the basis for their opposition.
Practically all admitted that they buy
wheat in states other than North Da-
kota, sometimes because it is better
adapted to their needs than wheat
grown near their mills.
Committee members who favored
the bill contcnded that it is an effort
to advertise North Dakota wheat and
thereby widen its market.
Launching into dissertation on
the value Of North Dakota wheat and
the need for better marketing, Rep.
Fred Ferris, Nelson county, was cut
short by Chairman Twichcll with the
comment that he could save that
speech for presentation to the com
mittee.
A little later, however, Senator
Dell Patterson, Rcnvillc county, drew
a laugh when he advised Twichell to
that same effect. Twichell had
launched into speech Of his own in
answer to question directed by a
committee member to miller who
had been discussing the situation.
No action was taken on the mea-
sure and it will again be taken up
by the senate state affairs commit
tee before report is made to the
upper body.
