finance it, he said, he will secure
another League worker to take
charge Of the southern district Of
North Dakota, living at Bismarck.
In lire with his plan to broaden

ed in q note dropped to the ground
today by Clarence D. Chamberlin,

Referring to their plight as "our
tail of VICE." Chamberlain wrote
that he and Williams had "a lot of
fun last night when we had our
first gas leak in the cockpit" He
had discovered a "big leak in left
wing tank" at 3 q. M, he said.
Whether the leak was repaired was
not stated.
The coffee they had carried along
with them in thermos bottles twas
the most terrible / ever tasted"

both flyers sick. Most of their sand
witches had gotten soaked with ethyl
gasoline, which is poisonous. They
had plenty Of water left.

STILL ALOFT
Transatlantic Flyer Hopes II
Break Present Record For
Time In the Air

Roosevelt Field, New York, Jan.
13.-(AP)-A Bellanca monoplane
piloted by Clarence D. Chamberlin,
New York-to-G Germany flyer, with
Roger G. Williams, as co-pilot, to-
day was circling slowly over Long
Island in an attempt to remain aloft
longer than any plane has ever
remained.
If the plane remains in the air
until "a minutes and Is seconds after
2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, it will
have brought back to the United
States the endurance flight record
which Chamberlin held with Bert
Acosta until last August, when
Johanne Risticz and Cornelius Ed
sard took it to Germany.
Chamberlin and Williams travelled
at an average speed Of so miles an
hour at an altitude varying between
500 and 1000 feet.
The present record is 81 hours 22
minutes and 81 seconds. G. NJ. Bel
lanca, builder Of the plane, esti-
mated that the All gallons 0f gaso-
line carried on the take-off would
keep the plane aloft about IS hours.
In a message dropped for A. r.
MARITIME, the planes owner, Cham
berlin reported q lower gasoline con-
sumption than expected, and said
there was mo doubt about break
ing the record if no trouble de-
velops."

Fellow Lawmakers
Extend Sympathy
to Rep. Sleight

T. L. Sleight, state representative
from McHenry county, is receiving
the sympathy of his fellow law
makers, especially from H. A. Rob-
erts, Cass county.
During most Of the last session
Roberts. went about his legislative
duties with his arm in a sling as the
result Of an accident. This winter
Sleight is in the same fix. He
broke his arm last summer and it
still is troubling him.
When he makes a speech, which
isn't often, the McHenry county man
has the habit Of lifting both hands
in natural gestures. His colleagues
now are warning him not to attempt
speech at the special session, con-
tending that with one arm in dis
repair he probably would be almost
tOnguc-tied.

DICKINSON SEEKS CONSIDERATION OF
TARIFF QUESTION ON FLOOR OF HOUSE
Iowa Republican Has in View
the Upward Readjustment
of Import Schedules on Ag.
ricultural Products - Pre-.
diets Support of House Farm,
Bloc

Washington, Jan. 13.-(AP)-
The tariff argument spread to the
house today when Representative
Dickinson, Republican, of Iowa. one
OF the farm leaders, announced that
. determined move to force consid-
Grafton Of the question, with the
view of an upward readjustment of
import schedules on agricultural
products, would be initiated.
While the senate debated the Nc
Master resolution for downward
revision in favor Of the farmer, the
Iowan declared he was drafting
bill proposing increased import
duties on corn, hides and vegetable
oil and that other products would
be included as soon as he received
q report from the tariff commission
ago.
He said he believed he would have
the support Of the whole house
farm bloc membership, and Repre-
sentative Garner Of Texas, Demo-
cratic leader Of the house ways and
means committee, which would have
jurisdiction over the Dickinson
measure, predicted that the minor
ity would vote to bring the matter
to the house floor.
The combination Of these two
groups virtually would assure the
bill coming before the house even
il opposed by, house Republican
leaders.
Mr.. Garner. emphasized that, in
voting to bring the bill before the
house, the Democrats would not
commit themselves to it's support
beyond that point. He said that he
felt a consideration of the tariff
question would be beneficial at the
present and that he personally would
use every effort to bring the meas
urc to the house floor.

Gov. Sor|ie Presents Ideas on
Mill Elevator I'm Greater Detail
Before legislative Committed

this we do 10. get the best results.
If we could have this same coopera-
ton throughout the state and the
right understanding there would be
no question about the success Of the
mill and elevator.
In my message I called your at
tcntion to the fact that took over
the organization at time when it
, showed an operating loss Of $4,000.
This was principally due to lack Of
cooperation within the organization
itself. 1t has been my policy since
took charge to get the people work
inn in connection with the mill and
elevator to understand one another.
This understanding exists not only
at the mill but amongst the sales
men and the elevators supplying the
mill with wheat. believe that as
time goes by the people who sell
flour and the people who handle
wheat will better understand the
wonderful service that can be had
because of the mill and elevator. 1t
has created a new market and our
people now have choice of three
markets where they formerly had
only two.
YOU will note from the auditors
reports that 1927 was the most sue
ccssful year the mill and elevator
has had. lay this primarily to the
better understanding and coopera-
ton on the part Of the men con-
nectcd with the mill and elevator,
and the improved efficiency result
ing from it.
To operate successful business
of any kind, all the people connect
cd with it, or who work with it,
must be in a frame of mind where
they will cooperate with the organi-
cation and help each other in work.
ing out the various problems con-
corning the institution.
Improved Conditions
This has been hard to bring about
at the mill and elevator, possibly a
wrong start was made in the begin
ming. At any rate I feel that now
we have improved conditions at the
mill and elevator.
l fee that at the present time
a better condition exists at the state
mill and elevator than at any time
in its history. A better spirit of
cooperation exists among the men
working at the institution. there is
better coordination among the de-
partment heads. There is policy of
operation in effect that is making
the mill and elevator an institution
that is of service Ito the grain men
and the farmers of the state. The
men who will appear before you
will give you a better understand
ing Of the problems Of the mill,
elevator and terminal. If, after
hearing their statements and study
ing the reports that are before you,
your committee can give any con-
structive criticism that will assist in
increasing this service, your sugges-
tions will be given careful consider
alton.
In conclusion, I further recon-
mend to this committee that you
give sincere consideration to all other
recommendations that l have made
in my message. If you will do this
/ feel that you will make this ses-
sion the most constructive in the
history Of the state.
