Democrats to Begin
Proceedings to Get
Griffiths on Ballot

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 9.-(B-
Mandamus proceedings will be in
stjtuted in the state supreme court
to compel Secretary of State Robert
Byrne to include the name Of
Thomas Griffiths on the official
ballot for the sixth legislative dis
trict of North Dakota, according to
an announcement by Alvin Purcell,
Democratic county chairman, today.
In the June primaries Mr.. Grit
fiths was unopposed on the Demo-
cratic ballot and received only 1872
votes, according to 4 statement of
Mr.. Purcell, which is eight short Of
the required 200 votes necessary for
nomination. a#
In statement Of. the case it is
alleged that Mr.. Byrne, upon in
structions Of Attorney General
George Shafer, ruled Mr.. Griffiths
was not legally nominated, and his
name had no place on the ballot.
The contention Of the Democratic
county committee is that since Mr..
Griffiths was unopposed in the cleo
ton as Democratic candidate. his
nomination was assured, regardless
Of the number Of votes received.

With total of 20 prisoners missing,
all of them believed dead, and q in
.jured, work Of recovering charred
bits Of bodies from the smoking
ruins Of the dormitory Of the Ohio
penitentiary brick plant continued
today.
Identification of the mutilated re-

CURTIS URGES

70 RENEW FARM TALKS

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. 9.-(P)-
Pleased with his reception in North
Dakota, Senator Charles Curtis, the
Republican vice presidential NOM
inee, today brought the Republican
campaign into Minnesota, where
party leaders also report a merry
contest.
Tonight the senator speaks here,
and he is prepared to renew his dis
Gussion of farm relief and his at
tack on the Democratic tariff po-
sition.
In North Dakota yesterday he in
sisted that Governor Smith had en-
dorsed the Underwood tariff act Of
1913 in his acceptance address. He
made the statement in reply to the
challenge of Chairman Raskob of
the Democratic national committee,
asking proof that the, Democratic
standard-bcarer was for that tariff
and its low schedule of rates.
Reads Smith View
Senator Curtis read to his North
Dakota audiences this language from
Governor Smiths acceptance adj
dress: 1.-THE Democratic party does
not, and under my leadership will
not, advocate any sudden or drastic
revolution in our economic system
which will cause business upheaval
and popular distress. This principle
was recognized as far back as the
passage Of the Underwood tariff
bill. Our platform restatcs this in
unmistakable language"
He accused Mr.. Raskob Of "inten-
tionally refusing" to quote the lat
ter sentences in his statement Of the
tariff position Of Governor Smith,
and declared the last two sentences
constituted an endorsement of that
measure, which cost our farmers al
most $4,000, 100000" He advocated
higher tariff even than the pres
cnt one on agricultural imports.
Crowds Greet Him
At both Devils Lake and Grand
Forks, where he appeared yesterday,
the vice presidential nominee spoke
to capacity audiences. Radios car
ried his words to crowds gathered
outside the meeting halls in both
cities.
Leaving Grand Forks last night
Immediately after the meeting.
he declared himself wonderfully
happy" over the reception accorded
him at both cities in North Dakota.
After an appearance here tonight
Senator Curtis goes to St. Paul, and
he will spend tomorrow in the Twin
Cities, speaking at night in st. Paul.
He is still using sling for the
ri5ht hand because of the severe
injur.- of a finger, but he seems to
have recovered his voice, which was
virtually gone at the conclusion Of
the first western campaign.

the winter. Many millions of dollars
could be saved each year if inspec-
tions had been made Of chimneys and
flues, SCOT cleaned out, and neces-
sary repairs made before the heat
ing units were put into operation.
Care should be taken never to
start or hurry fires by the use of
gasoline or kerosene. Hundreds of
deaths and injuries occur each year
because this dangerous practice is
followed. It is better to take few
minutes longer to obtain q good fire
than to attempt to expedite it by
such dangerous means.

Fire Danger Greater
During Winter Period

With the approach Of cold wealth
er, the Chamber Of Commerce Of the
United States directs attention to
the fact that more fires and heavier
fire losses occur during the winter
months than in the summer. As IN
illustration Of this, loss to property
during the first three months Of
1928 was more than two and ! half
times - great Is during the months
Of June. July. and August.
Similarly, the number Of deaths
caused by fire il larger in the win

Studies made by the fire casualty
statistics COMMITTEES Of the national

FARM HACKERS
LOAN A MILLION
FOR LIVESTOCK
$4,000 Head of Sheep Bought
Through Aid of Agricul-

meeting Of the board Of directors
Of the Agricultural Credit corpora
ton will be called before the end
Of this year to draft a reorganiza-
ton plan on permanent basis, =.
T. Jaffray, chairman Of the board.
announced here today.
Purchase of 10000 head Of sheep
in Montana and western North Da-
kota, now being placed in more than
200 localities in the northwest, also
was announced today by C. w. Will
kins, vice president and manager of
the corporation. \.
During 1928 the corporation will
have loaned more than 100000 to
northwest farmers for the purchase
Of livestock, while repaymcnts of
loans by farmers will "just about
balance the amount paid out in
new contracts, Mr.. Wilkins said.
The Agricultural Credit corpora
ton was created in 1924 to furnish
capital for farmers in developing
the livestock industry in northern
Michigan, northern Minnesota. North
and South Dakota, and Montana. 1t
has never been placed on a perma-
nent basis, however.
Approximately 100000 has been
advanced in loans during 1928 to
October to aid in purchase, of
sheep, Mr.. Wilkins said today. The
last purchase of $4,000, now being
placed throughout the northwest, in
a - L..
of about 100000 on the basis Of
$40 loan on each animal.
About rs per cent Of the old bank
loans made several years ago have
been repaid, Mr.. Wilkins reported.
Originally they totaled $4,000, 900.
That figure has been cut to $2,O00,-
600, he said.
During the time the corporation
has been in existence it has loaned
money for livestock development to
more than 5000 farmers in the
northwest" he said.

Focal Weather Control Of
Southern Hemisphere to Be
Investigated

New York, Oct. 9.-(AP)-Study
Of the largest of the worlds two
great polar weather reservoirs is the
main objective of the three aviators
comprising the Wilkins Expedition
now en- route to Antarctica.
The ice cap, as large as Europe,
which covers the Antarctic continent
is regarded by meteorologists as the
focal weather control of the southern
hemisphere.
The few records in existence in
dictate it is invariably an area of
anti-cylone. This is the we'll known
kind of area marked on every United
States weather map as a "high," a
region of high barometer pressure.
A characteristic of anti-cyclones is
that the air currents, revolving about
the center Of the area, tend to blow
outward from the center. A notable
phenomenon Of Antarctica's meteor
ology has been the invariable reports
that the prevailing surface winds
along its outer edges blow outward.
Numbers of weather experts have
concluded that the South Pole may
be blanketed with "high" area as
large as Australia.
Another meteorological belief
which Antarctic records appear to
bear out is the theory of the drag
on air currents by the earth'S rota-
ton. This drag is thought to keep
air in circulation. The sidewise
pull is greatest at the equator, where
the rotary surface speed is greatest.
At the poles the rotation speed is
zero. Under the theory this would
tend to create great whirlpool of
air above Antarctica, and meteor
illogical records indicate this to be
true.
Because the Antarctic anti-cy-
clone is apparently the greatest of
its kind, more information about it
may help to answer weather riddles
all over the world and make possi-
bic more accurate weather fore
casting. 1
Prof. William H. Hobbs Of the
University Of Michigan, who spent
the last two summers on the Green
land ice cap. which he regards as
the main reservoir for northern
hemisphere weather, says airplanes
probably are the best instruments
for Astrological studies above inland
ice. Antarctica, so far as now
known, is all inland ice.
Capt. Sir George Hubert Wilkins
leader Of the Antarctic expedition
has with him Lieut.. Carl Ben Eiele-
son, the pilot who accompanied him
across the Arctic last spring; Joseph
Crossan, relief pilot, and Orville
Porter, mechanic. Wilkins plans
to fly the expedition from Deception
bay, on the border of Antarctica
establish base, and make various
flights, including one to Ross sea
site Of the Byrd base.
