|Ects and Fancies
By ROBERT CULLEN
Thrift urges you to save your cake
until YOU are too old to eat It. The
installment plan cuts a slice while
you still have an appetite.
There's one nice thing about
poverty. Your children don't feel
dlsgraced if you fail to live up to 1t.
A town isn't dead until its only
hope of publicity is to send out
story about cat adopting a pup or
chicken.
Don't be too proud Of your virtue,
A wind broken old horse doesn't run
away because it's easier to stand
still.
Darn styles. When a youngster
wears a shirt with a low v neck, you
don't know whether to call him
Miss or sissy
.xEzaglzI
1t is brutal to make fun of idiots.
They really think they can clear 4
traffic jam by footing their horns.
Note to Al: No horse ever won a
race while switching flies.
If amateurism IL TO be preserved
undefiled. rich dads must arrange to
have more vigorous sons.
Alas! If you're too decent to read
about nasty crime and form an
opinion, you are certain to be drawn
on the jury.
Americanism: Resenting the fact
that the menu Is printed in French:
keeping still about 1t lest people
think you a low-brow.
Writing play is hard work.
Think how MANY Won must attend in
order to steal your stuff.
Terrible new weapons can't pre-
vent war. When man invented the
spear, he invented a shield to stop
it.
Young intellectuals would be ideal
lawmakers for a country inha bited
solely by young intellectuals.

Nine ENTER IN
RADIO ADDITION
Additional Names Expected 70
Be Entered for Contest
Thursday Night

With the state radio addition
scheduled to be held here tomorrow
night, several more entries are ex-
pected to be made today.
Entries have been made into the
contest but additional names were
expected to be entered today.
Twelve persons participated in the
contest last year.
No local addition will be .leld, it
was decided late yesterday. With
the entry of third person from
Bismarck several days ago, it was
at first thought that a local contest
might be necessary to determine
who the representative Of the city
would be. It was decided, however,
that there was not sufficient time
to stage the contest and the name
of the third cntrant was placed at
Beach, N. D.
A banquet for all contestants will
be held at the Grand Pacific hotel
at 6 p. m. tomorrow, Mrs. ]. P.
French, Bismarck, state chairman
of the addition, announced today.
The addition itself will be broadcast
from the Presbyterian church.
Kenneth Preston and Clara Pei
tier will be the entries from Bis
marck. Glendale will be represent
ed by Arnold Hoel and Dorothy
Combellick; Dickinson, Claude Rob-
inson, and MS Anna Born; James
town, Mildred Kellam and Anthony
Van Dyke; Mandan, NJ. Gruer.

Nominee Did Not Fix Price
Of Wheat

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 17.--(R-
Secretary Kellogg came home today
to tell the Ramsey County Women's
Republican club that he knows Of no
man who is more able to deal with
the complex problems Of this country
than the Republican presidential
nominee, Herbert Hoover.
Speaking at luncheon in a down.
town hotel, Secretary Kellogg de-
clared that Mr.. Hoover did not fix
the price of wheat after the United
States entered the World war, as has
been charged against the nominee.
Mr.. Kellogg said that he knew, as a
member of the senate at that time,
that Mr.. Hoover had nothing to do
with the fixing of the price, but that
he WAS largely instrumental in pre-
venting a combination Of allied
countries from lowering the price Of
wheat.
Secretary Kellogg spoke mostly
of northwestern and Great Lakes
problems, and declared that Mr..
Hoover was strongly in favor of the
building of the st. Lawrence river
canal to give the great region in the
northwest an outlet to the sea. He
said that the United States is doing
everything it can, but that no canal
could be built in the international
section without the cooperation of
both governments, and that he be-
Iieved the Canadian government was
