and paid little attention to the fresh

run consisted Of steers, but there was

Bulk Of the steers sold at 100 to

London, Feb. 12.-(R)-The death

The Balkans were hard hit. Con-
stantinople. particularly. was isolated
from the world, with only radio COM

source it was learned the worst con-

buried under an avalanche Of snow
week ago, told stories upon reach
ing Constantinople Of having been
harassed at night by wolves which
h0wled around the cars, scratching
the door and windows and trying to
enter.
The stories Of attacks by wolves
were numerous from eastern Europe
and the neighboring Carpathians.
In England the weather changed
from moderate cold to intense frigid-
ity.

Speaking Of the state farm storage
act. not a single loan on a state Ger.
tificate has been made BY a banker
IN Bismarck or Mandan. Scores OF
applications. however. are reported TO
have been received by country banks
IN the surrounding area. Either the
farmers do lot look favorably upon
IT, measure or they r not In need
Of emergency funds.
That farmers with standing in the
community may borrow from the
banks without storage certificate Of
the state is the general statement Of
bankers here.
Much fault has been found with the
;tate farm storage act. advocated by
Governor Shafer and passed BY the
I. v. "A. faction. The /. v. A. press
explains that the law will undoubted-
~ cause the farmer to realize a great
deal more fer hts recent crop than II
the law was not on the statute books.
Just how this greater :l.cofnc will be
realized is not dealt with by these

Oluf Erickson. secretary of the Wat

nouncing the gathering and the ap-
pearance Of four Union speakers who
would answer for any questionable
operations of the organization. In
cluded was an invitation to the editor
Of the paper.
The editor did not accept the invi-

After the meeting. however. Usher
L. Burdick Of Fargo. one Of the
speakers and an attorney for the

Burdick. the Farmer and Guide

ttvitics Of the Union. Burdick did adj

dispatched organizers and lecturers

them by the farmers.
The Union. apparently, is DESTROYS

Admission charge, 1t is said, will be

debates will be for information on the

commercial reasons are questions in
the minds Of Bismarck people.

A pailstaking canvass among pop

Indeed. one Of the popmen declared
Indignantly that pop did not cause
consumption.

how many sacks Of peanuts will be
