remarks and he called on F. E. Nc
curry. as chairman of the citizens
court house committee. to present the
need Of a new county building, while
Charles S. Buck, ST., of jamestown,
supervisor Of the Bismarck census
district. explained the census from
the standpoint of the farmers sched-
ule.
Mr.. McCurdy stressed the risky
character Of the old court house, with
its floors oiled for these many years
and with its flimsy record depos-
itories. Fire would entail more cost
to duplicate destroyed records than
q new building would. he sai1. A new
building will be one-fif.n paid ior
by utilities corporation taxes, he said.
1t will require Gil the part of the
property owners a tax levy of l Sc
mills annually for 20 years. Then he
picked out some of those present and
announced what the cost per quarter
section of their farms would be an
nually for 20 years. 1t will cost Com
missioner Charles Swanson $l.43, he
said: Commissioner Moynier. SLIT;
Bill Jones. Wing, 80 cents: Com
missioner william Fricke. $l.27: Will
liam Uhde, Regain. y cents. With
interest thrown in it will cost no.
body moro than $3.50 a year said Mr.
McCurdy.
Jail Mcnaces Prisoners
The question is not SO much
whether to build the proposed build
ing. said Mr.. McCurdy, as whether
the county a afford not to build it.
Commissioner Swanson said the
matter Of a new Jail, to be part of the
proposed structure, had been over
looked.
Chairman McCurdy admitted the
oversight and said it was a rather
CHASTITY probability that in the event
of a fire getting some Roadway in the
jail every prisoner in it at the time
would be burned to death.
Buck Gives Census Outlook
Supervisor Buck impressed ON the
township guests the necessity of max
ing haste in filling out their sched-
ule when the census gets under way,
so that the work can be completed
within time. There are 252 ques~
tionS on the farmers missionaries.
Leaders of northwest farm organiza-
tons. he said. had devised the sched-
ule.
The supervisor also stressed the
necessity Of every nose being counted
so as to assure the state the requisite
population Of 705, 700 to retain its
three congressman. He said Joseph
M. Devine believe the state had
gained the requisite increase in pop
ulation since 1920 and 1925 counts. to
hold its congressional representation.
The big cities, he said, have increased
10000, the SmallerS ones, 10000 and
2yO00 new farm settlers account for
an increase of 5000. The birth rate
Of ~ per thousand and the death rate
of even leave a net increase of 10000
more in the opinion of MI. Devine.
Take Schedules to Polls
But If one family is overlooked to a
township. there might be a loss of
10000 in the count over the state, it
was calculated, thus jeopardizing the
congressional representation.
Schedules were passed out to cleo
ton officers among the guests, to dis
play at the spring election. March Is,
so that farmers al book up on their
answers.

GUARDS IN CAMP
ON MIMIC WAR

Members of the District Of
Columbia National Guard are
taking part in the command post
exercises and miniature war with
members of the Regular Army
and organized reserves. The
exercises started today at Fort
George G. Meade, Maryland. and
will continue to July 19.
There are 666 officers and 1875
enlisted men in the exercises
and in addition to the men from
the District of Columbia, National
Guardsmen from Maryland, Penn
Sylvania and Virginia are there.
The first week will be devoted
to having the various units estab-
lish command posts. Heavy ac-
ton will occupy the soldiers dur
ing the second week. During the
last days of ghe war" exercise
the units will be divided into two
armies. The Blues" friendly
forces, will protect the territory
between Annapolis and Washing
ton from the Reds" the enemies,
who will land at Annapolis.

Tango Replaces the
Old Waltz in Vienna

VIENNA, July 7 G,N.SO Aus
tria bows to Argentine.
The tango has ousted the IA
nous Viennese waltz right in its
birthplace.
The dizzy whirling dance so
long stepped to the tune of the
old Blue Danube has given way
to the sophisticated dip and glide
of the tango.
Even the wine cellars and beer
halls of gemutlich Wien are in
vaded by the new exotic atmos-
phere Of Spanish music. Aus
tria's tender sentimentalism IS be-
ing swept away by the cynical
rhythm of the national dance.
According to Robert Freistadtl,
one of Vienna's popular con-
poserS, the South American dance
has been lnsidiously creeping into
honest Viennese hearts. pianos,
and feet during a whole year.

RANKIN To PUSH
NEW VET AID

Renewal Of the movement for
supplemental veterans relief legiS-
lation in the next session of Con-
gresS was promised today by Rep
resentative Rankin CD of MiSsis-
Sippi. as he left to attend an
American Legion convention at
Greenwood, in his State. Rankin
was author of the veterans bill
vetoed by President Hoover, and
Congress finally passed a compro-
mise measure.
Party lines were split by Ran
kin's bill and his measure
stampeded the House to overturn
the measure as reported from
committee. All this, however,
was nullified by the presidential
veto. In leaving for home Repre-
sentative Rankin said:
'The fight for veterans re.
lief has just begun. The vet.
Grams Of the country will be dis,
satisfied with the pauper rates
which the bill passed contains.
and they are wholly inadequate
for the relief of the disabled
veterans. There will be a re.
newal Of the fight for adequate
legislation in the next Con-
.greSS."
