SOLDIER DEAD
REMEMBERED
Burleigh County Marking is
Graves of World War Vet.
Grams in Bismarck

Burleigh county will not forget
soldiers who lost their lives in the
World War, it is shown by action
being taken by Burleigh county Of
ficials and the federal government.
Stone markers, giving the name,
age and record of the soldier, will
be placed at the grave of each SOL
der who gave his life for his coun-
try in the war.
Although the graves will not be
marked until spring, practically all
preliminary work will be completed
by Armistice Day, according to E.
j.. Gobel, Burleigh county coroner,
who is cooperating with Captain
Herman Brocopp, Mary Cashel, of
the Red Cross association, and the
federal government in the work.
Applications have been received
from the families of many of the
veterans who lost their lives in the
World war, Gobel said, and these
are being checked over as quickly
as possible as that orders for the
markers can be made. The only
specification is that the official dis
charge from service papers must be
sent in to officials.
Approximately Is graves which
are in Fairview and St. Mary's Gem
eteries, Bismarck, will be marked
next spring. Gobel said. Orders
for many of the stones have been
sent in but the markers will be
placed in q warehouse until work
ers are able to take them to the
cemeteries.
Besides the orders already placed,
twelve applications have been made
for markers, Gobel said.
They are for the graves of
Leonard M. Sather, Arthur NJ.

new YORK GOES
AGAINST SMITH
Hoover Plurality Nears 100,
600; Roosevelt Leading
Ottinger

New York, Nov. 7.-(AP)-The
New York :tate plurality Of Herbert
Hoover, Republican president-elect,
over Governor Alfred E. Smith, his
Democratic opponent, was indicated
at 1000 today on the basis Of re-
vised figures in New York City and
belated returns that trickled in from
the upstate Republican stronghold.
Official revision of the returns
from all the 3493 election districts in
the greater city gave 10000 more
votes for Hoover than the earlier re.
turns, but the same revisions added
$4,000 to the Smith total, . net gain
of $4,000 for the Democratic candi-
date.
With all but 233 upstate districts
heard from out Of 8267 in the state,
including New York City, the total
was:
Hoover 2,130,7Ss.
Smith 2,O52,641.
This was . margin Of 7S,14z in
Hoover's favor.
The upstate districts had aver
aged . Hoover plurality Of 116.
Maintenance Of this for the 233 miss
ing districts would add more than
$4,000 to the Hoover lead on the
basis Of actual returns. making .
plurality Of . little more than 1O0,-
900 for the Republican candidate.
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Democratic
gubernatorial candidate, had Z lead
Of g.. 083 over Attorney General Al
bert Ottinger. Republican, with. 347
districts unsupported. 3 (.
The total was:
Roosevelt 2,077, 673. .
Ottinger 2,O13,60O.
The returns from the missing up
state districts were expected to cut
the Roosevelt plurality to about 49,
600.

WHEAT PRICE
TREND LOWER
Hoover Victory Has No Effect
on Market; Weather Is
Big Factor

Chicago, Nov. 7.-(AP)-Persist-
ent selling on the. part Of houses
with connections northwest had
much to do with decided setback
witnessed in wheat values today.
Selling centered largely on Decem-
Der delivery Of wheat, which lost
more ground than later months.
Worlds available supplies of wheat
showed a material increase, the total
stock being 1884, 900 bushels larger
than a week ago, and aegregating
S57, 4O7 900 bushels, against $50, 1885,
600 bushels at this time last year.
On the other hand, corn displayed
stubborn resistance to selling pres
sure. =.
Wheat closed unsettled, l 6-8' to
l 3-4 to 2 .-8c net lower, (Dec. 1l3
3-8 to 3-8 to l-2. March lis LIZ to
5-8, May l21 1-8 to l-4). ..' :"
Corn at 'l-8c to 5-8c advance (Dec.
62 Ia to IA to 3-8, March IS. 1-8,
Oats closed 1-sc to l-4c off, (Dec.
IS 1-2, Mach ~, May ~ 7-S),e and
provisions varying from &c setback
to . rise of 2Oc.
Although election results were
eagerly discussed today by wheat
traders. no traceable influence of
political news was apparent in the
wheat market. On the contrary,
prices made an uncertain start and
then took guidance to q great extent
from dispatches telling, Of improved
wheat crop prospects in, Argentina,
especially word that rust damage re-
ports were untrue. There were. also
advices that European demand for
wheat from North America con-
tinued of only moderate volume.
Rainy weather over the corn belt
unfavorable for husking and for the
movement of new corn gave m up
ward trend at times to the corn mar
ket. Besides, arrivals Of corn. in
Chicago today were relatively small,
191 cars, and were also fneager 1t
other leading centers, total receipts
Of corn here today compared with
312 cars q week ago.
Corn prices for the day IS =
whole were somewhat higher. Oats
were somewhat unsettled, influenced
by wheat. For the most part, pro-
visions held about steady. 10y

yet If, one day in 1868, q band Of
marauding Cheyennes had not at
tackled the reservation of the friendly
kaws.
Young Curtis, then eight years
old, was fast rider and could speak
both English and Indian, so the be-
leaguered Kaws chose him to gallop
to the cavalry post at Topeka for
help. He slipped through the Chey-
ennes' lines and summoned the SOL
diers, who chased the raiders away.
Curtis didn't 60 back to the In
dams. Instead, he made his home
with his fathers people for . time
and then became a jockey, riding at
Kansas race tracks before he was 10.
When increasing weight finally
ended his days as a jockey, he sold
candy and peanuts around the rail
road station at Topeka and later
worked in livery stable. Next, he
got job driving Q hack.
1t was while he was hack driver
that Curtis studied law, often read
ing his lawbooks by the light of the
Oil lampus on his cab as he waited for
fares. A sympathetic lawyer finally
took the youth into his office.
At 81, Curtis was admitted to the
bar and at Is Tin 1850 he got his
first political job when he was
elected as = county prosecutor. In
1892 he was elected to Congress and
served seven terms. In 1907 he was
elected to the senate, in 1912 he was
beaten but in 1914 he was reelected
has since served there. He was
named Republican floor leader upon
the death of Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge Of Massachusetts.
Such is the story Of the two or
phans, Herbert Hoover and Charles
Curtis, who have struggled their way
upward through lean and bitter
years to the two highest offices that
the nation can bestow.
It is an epic of personal achieve
ment, proof of the real opportunity
that beckons to the young men Of
every generation in land where all
men are born equal; it is thoroughly
in accord with the finest traditions
Of America.
Thus the barefoot son of the Iowa
blacksmith and the part-Indian boy
who spent his early days on an In
dian reservation as q government
ward will become president and vice
president of the United States next
March.

CHAMBER URGES
LOCAL FOLKS TO
TRADE AT HOME

The chamber of commerce has as
one of its objectives the protection
of the home merchant, he who lives
here, and pays taxes, and contri-
butes to the growth and advance
ment Of the city, according to Sec
retary Hays. Therefore the cham
Der abhors the practices of the
itincrant pcddler who drives in
with his wares, and with a colorful
speech and Il purported guarantee
which he is not prepared to make
good, he offers merchandise in COM
netition with the local merchant.
Hays says.
The directors of the chamber in
tend when the summer holiday sea-
son is over, vigorously combating
this type of invader The trade
and the support of the townspeople
belongs to the local taxpayer and
city builder. 1t seldom happens that
the peddlcr' S merchandise is of
prime quality; it almost never hap
pens that it is in reality any cheap
or in price than the standard ar
ticle, offered every day in the
year by the reputable and honest
and conscientious merchant on
Main Street and adjacent blocks.
AS one of the chamber S direc-
tors warns: "Bewarc, Madame
Lady of the House. Are you sure
that the price is any lower than
that of YOUR hOme-t town merchant ,
And even if the polite and silver
tounged peddler does promise to
guarantee the quality, are you
sure the stockings are really and
truly silk -
The chamber s admonition is:
eco slow when you are sending
money out of town for merchandise
which you on buy here, of local
merchants under local guarantee,
and at prices which are verify just
and fair, Hays said.
