NOTED ACTRESS
IS HAPPILY WED
Ultra Modern Experiment
Proves Successful Over Sew
eral Years Period

New York, Nov. 2.-P)-The New
York American in copyrighted
story says today that Hendrlck
William Van Loon, philosopher
historian and essayist. hae been nap
PLY married to Frances Goodrich,
noted actress, for several years IN
an ultra-moder. experiment.
Neither has assumed the slightest
litigation toward the other.
Neither has any claim upon the
me, society or affection OF the
ther.
Each maintains separate estab-
shmcnt and each is at complete
liberty to work out career without
nindrance or advice.
AS there is no sharing Of the
home, there is no sharing OF prop
crty or money.
Such association as there may be
between them is only through mu-
tual agrecmen
Van Loon telephones his wife once
4 week or so and If she has no other
engagement they 90 out to dine.
Van Loon said that both he and
his wife had hoped to ,,eep the facts
of their marriage Il secret.
Married by Rabbi
He added that he did no. remem-
ber the exac place and date of the
ceremony, 9th, than it was per-
formed by rabbi in Miss Good
rich's home town in New Jersey.
After the ceremony. she returned D
the stage and he to his tudy.
Van Loon has been married twlce
before. This is his ife's second
marriage. :,
1T is an experiment" Van
Loon is quoted by the American as
saying. "If it works out this way,
we'll and good. Ii it doesn't, we'll
we'll try it some other way
Once Il week or perhaps less
often, Van Loon says, he calls Miss
Goodrich on the telephone. In a
typical conversation he inquiries as
to her health and her engagements
for the evening. If she has none
they go out to dinner together; II
she is occupied Van Loon cheerily
accepts the situation with a well
all right" Summing up the rela-
tion, the author says, according to
the American:
Happy So Far
'Here are we: Two mature peo-
pie, working at our own experiment.
We are educated. We think we
know. SO far we have been very
happy. Well, why not?'
Van Loon, who is 45, indicated in
the newspaper interview that he
and Miss Goo, rich, who is in her
sos, have been able to restrain ro-
nance from departing.
Like Miss amy Hurst, author.
who in 1920 announced that she had
contracted similar independent al
lance with Jacques S. Danielson,
a composer, Miss Goodrich retains
her maiden name. Miss Hurst at
first said that she and her husband
had breakfast together twice a
week, but later said: "The truth IS,
/ never eat breakfast" Miss Hurst
was married in 1915.

care for the oil from the we'll which
he hopes to bring in there, still has
two large crews Of statesmen engaged
in selling his personal notes to fl.
nance his oil venture. Townley is
said to have constructed "bull pens =
and bunkhouses, similar to the one
at Robinson, near Valley City and
Stanley at which he is holding meet
ings Of persons whom his statesmen
have Interested.
Townley is said to have been con-
centrating his efforts in the north
western corner of the state where
oil interest has been raised to fever
heat by numerous other promotion
enterprises.
The present plan, according to
general reports, is for Townley to
drill at Valley City and near Stan
ley as well as at Hettinger, in the
western part of the state.
He also contemplates, it is said,
bringing in" the we'll on his Robin
son lease holds. Nothing has been
done at Robinson in the way Of drill
ing since last MAY when Townley
called big meeting and exhibited
oil which he said had been dipped
from the bottom Of the we'll. The
drilling bit was lowered into the hole
and came up dripping with crude oil
which Townley said had been discov-
cred when drilling operations were
stopped almost year before.

Though some of this surplus may be
represented in uncollected taxes,
there will be eco gh in the fund to

losses promptly without borrowing
any money, he pointed out Even
if the fund does not total exactl.

SO close to that sum that 40 levy

The flat acreage tax originally
was fi~cd at three cents an acre on
all tillable lands. During 1919 and
1920 the tax was used to pay in
demnity for losses but, beginning
with 1921. it was used to create q
permanent surplus.
The 1923 legislature reduced the
flat tax from three cents to one
cent an acre, the rate at which it
has remained since. In 1925, Hagen
said, the Legislature appropriated

The public address of President
Coolidge at Trenton, N. j., last week
was disappointing in many respects.
Except for brief reference to arma-
ment, nobody in political circles
could find anything in the speech to
indicate new Administration policies.
Government and leaders in indus
try and commerce are delivering
their annual speeches of optimism
this week. There is a tendency of
late to discuss the possible effects of
the installment plan buying. No
doubt, this is due to the increased
use of this scheme in the purchase of
automobiles and articles for personal
use. 1t has extended far and wide,
particularly during the last year, and
Government officials watch develop
ments from every standpoint of Nat
ional prosperity and financial stabil-
| ity Of the banks. Secretary Mellon
said recently that installment-plan
buying has not yet progressed to a
point where it interferes with intelli-
gent saving of the American people.
The inventory season in stores and
shops has brought the question in
the limelight at this time.
The Congressional Record is grad
| ually increasing the number of pages
as the silent oratory" of the Cong
ress grows in volume. 1t is that
lsection of the Record which carries
I Extension of Remarks, usually
speeches written by or for legisla-
tors, but never delivered on the floor
of the House or Senate. 1t is custo-
mary for Members to have these "un-
spoken speeches" reproduced and
broadcasted to their constituents, and
the average recipient seldom realizes
that the opinions were never voiced
before the Congress. 1t is one of
| the tricks of the trade and has its
advantages to those not gifted as
speakers.
The beginning of the New Year
finds little change in the activities of
| the Federal Government. These agen-
cies operate on the basis of the fiscal
year beginning July 1, but they are
obliged to have the authorization of
Congress before undertaking any par
| ticular activity.
The public reception at the White
House on New Years Day has be-
| come very popular. The citizens of
Washington who ordinarily would not
be concerned over White House social
| activities make it point to pay their
| respects to the President and his fam
| lily at the beginning of the New Year.
| The social season at the National
Capital is at it's height. The four
great events are Diplomatic Night,
Judiciary Night, Congressional Night
| and Army-Navy Night.

LAASTUEN MATCHED
! WITH PLUMB AGAIN
The Wrestling Match Which Fail
ed to Materialize i'm December
on Account of Blocked Roads,
Will Take Place at AskOv, Sat-
urday, Jan. Is.

A finish catch-as-catch-can wrest-
Con Laastuen of Minneapolis, and 1.
M. Plumb of Bruno, the two fast and
clever light heavyweight wrestlers.
Laastuen and Plumb were matched
to meet in Askov on Dec. 16, but the
match fell through because Laastuen
did not appear, owing to having miss
ed train connections from the south
ern part of the state, being snow
bound. A forfeit for non-appearance
has now been placed with Match
maker Conrad Christensen of the
American Legion, the organization
which is sponsoring the match to be
held at the D. B. S. hall Saturday
evening, Jan. Is.
Neither Plumb nor Laastuen need
any introduction to local mat follow
ers as they are both strong and
clever, willing mixers and out to give
the fans their moneys worth in good,
clean exhibition. Their first meeting
which took place in Askov last winter,
resulted in victory for Plumb, but
only after real tussle. Laastuen is
out to turn the trick and it will be
a real match, with the best man win
ming.
The preliminary bouts will bring
together four local aspirants, the
semi wind-up being between Svend
Christensen and Tillman Larsen, and
the curtain raiser between Emery
Nedegaard and Aage Lunde.

0r Wdaln3 Letter
On " ICDaley
81 " PDaley.

Washington, January 5.-Following
the example of the country at large
the Sixty-ninth Congress has settled
down to work after holiday vacation.
With thousands of proposed measures
pending in committees the legislators
have real problem in sitting the
wheat from the chaff. Sometimes
meritorious measures are sidetracked
in favor of those having political adj
vantages. Only two months remain
of this session, and with the number
of controversies increasing the time
is all too short to clean the slate.
The committees in charge of fiscal
measures are doing their best to re-
port appropriation bills for the main
tenance of the Government depart
ments.. If any of these bills fail
to pass the Congress before adjourn
ment it will necessitate the calling
of an extra session. A special COM
mittee of the Congress would have a
direct bearing upon the 1928 Presi-
Dental campaign. Consequently,
leaders of the majority parties are
not advocating such a procedure, be-
cause. there is no way of estimating
the effect of prolonged debate on
their campaign policies.
A small group in the Senate has
revived the question of foreign rela-
tions as result of the development
in Nicaragua. The armament issue
has likewise cropped up with the dis
cussion of appropriations for battle
ships and airplanes. This matter
has remained dormant since General
Mitchell's upheaval regarding the
national defenses. Postal rate mat
tiers are expected to hold the atten-
ton of the Congress shortly as an eff
fort is made to adjust Post Office af-
fairs.
The debate on prohibition has been
intensified of late as a result of nu-
merous deaths during the holidays,
due to drinking of alcohol poisoned by
the Government. The Secretary of
the Treasury feels that the original
order to make alcohol chemically UNI
fit for consumption is too drastic.
1t is difficult to say what bearing
the poisoned alcohol controversy will
have upon the wet" and "dry" battle.
The report of the Secretary of the
Treasury shows that chemical labora-
tories have been established in the
field for the purpose of testing and
diluting alcohol beverages. During
the fiscal wear of 1925 the laboratory
at Washington made 1886 analyses
and s6,755 analyses in the field lab
oratories. Though the efforts to en-
force prohibition were increased the
records of the Solicitor of the Treas
ury Department show that the col
lections through the Federal Courts
of fines and forfeitures amounted to
SIS. 100000, a slight increase over the
preceding year.

No change was recorded on killing
classes of cattle today, although veal
ers continued their downward course.
Most classes of sheep were on steady
basis while the hog market closed
weak to 10c lower.
Best steers reached 1925 on today's
session with others at $3.50 to $500,
while the bulk of the ordinary run of
steers and yearlings cashed at $500
to S775, kinds ON the stocker and
feeder order selling around $3.50 or
less. Most of the she stock cleared
at $500 to $500, very desirable
load of lightweight heifers cashing
at $685., while bulk of the cutters
sold at $3.75 to $4.25. Most of the
medium grade bulls cleared at $500
to $3.50 with good heavies $6.75
lighterweights $5.75 largely. Feeder
and stocker' trade was nominally
steady at $3.50 to $3.50. Vealers at
the decline cashed at $1,000 for bulk
of the good light kinds.
The hog market was on weak
footing and bulk of the butchers and
lights cashed to packers at $11.40
with some sorted lights to shippers
at $11.50. Most of the packing sows
cleared at $1O.25 to $1,000, with most
of the feeding pigs $11.75.
Most of the fat lambs sold at $1,000
to SLIPS, culls $500 to $500. Light
and heavyweight fat ewes cleared al
$500 to $6.25, heavier weights $3.50
to $500. Numerous feeding lambs
cashed at $11.35, some at SLIPS, with
less desirable kinds $1,000 to $10.75

Devils Lake Journal
Boosts G. A. Fraser
For u. S. Senator

Citing the record OF G.. A. Fraser,
adjutant general for North Dakota,
both from a military standpoint and
rs a private citizen, the Devils Lake
Journal, in its Issue of Monday,
takes strong stand cditorially in
favor OF Mr.. Fraser becoming a
candidate to succeed Senator Lynn
j. Frazier In the United States SEN
ate.
Adjutant General Fraser has been
mentioned as possible candidate
for the senatorial position at varl-
Gus times and places during the
past few months, but has issued no
statement himself concerning the
possibility OF his seekig the toga
now worn by Senator Lynn j. Fra
Zier.
"Adjutant General Fraser's long
affiliation with tho state govern
ment as a high military officer; his
familiarity with the states most VI
tai problems, and his personality
and integrity that make him one OF
the most outstanding citizens OF the
state, cntitle him to statewide rec
ognition as a potential candidate Tor
the office of United States senator,
tho Journals editorial says in part
