the future on their New Year eve
by communion with spirits Of the de-
parted. A more generally accepted
theory, however, Is as follows:
Superstitions of the ancients would
only let them believe that souls Of the
dead suffered heat and cold and other
hardships that made existence dificult
for mortals. Hence. departed spirits
were thought to return to seek the
stones as Winter grtpped the land on
Halloween night.
Fear and Desire Conliicted.
Fear Of the dead and desire to serve
them conf1icted. Insulting ghostly visi-
tors would make them vindictive. Yet
the kingdom Of witchery and evil was
openly at war with all good folk, and
welcoming its subjects would endanger
human life.
Fear triumphed. The dead were
summed. And the belief spread that
diabolical pandemonium broke loose on
Halloween night. Trembling peasants
reported witches galloping through the
heavens on besoms and sometimes of
black cats. Human servants Of Satan
ventions. Subjects Of Lilith, the
all manners Of harm.
Youths, credulous Of their parents
superstitions, probably saw that enough
deviltry was accomplished to keep fear
% ghosts alive. And from the supposed
activities Of the kingdom of evil have
developed modern gates and fences that
miraculously vanish and porch furni-
ture Of incautious owners that Is
found atop automobiles on November /.
Small boys have more than taken up
the duties Of the olden devils, and
from the adoption have arisen many
tribulations that make property own
ers rue the night Of October 81, with
its diabolical Halloween acts Of very
fiesh-and-bone youths.
Custom Gradually Dying.
In q Chicago suburb this year a
boys club arranged with merchants and
business men to have q huge banquet
on Halloween night with the money
that ordinarily goes for repairs to prop
erty damaged during Halloween, and
the boys promised In return that all
property would be protected from harm.
Commentators declare that observ-
ance OF Halloween, similar to that of
st. Valentines day, Is gradually dying
away, just Is the ghostly rituals of
Celtic days have faded into present
forms OF amusement.

highest office, the presidency of the
Federation of Citizens Associations, will
close with the election tomorrow night

DR.. Havenner, the incumbent. who is
seeking third term, today confidently
predicted his reelection by a sub
stantial majority. Stengle's supporters.
however, are just as confident OF his
election.
DR.. Havenner said more than 70 of
the 124 delegates to the federation had
pledged their votes to him. A majority
is necessary to elect. According to
present indications all but six of the
delegates, who expect to be out of the
city over the week end, will cast ballots.

An active committee headed by
Henry I. Quinn, prominent Washington
attorney, has been conducting Stengle' s
campaign. Stengle has broadcast
through the ranks Of organized citizen
ship cards which say: That II you
believe my election as president of the
federation will help to advance the In
terests Of organized citizenry, will
greatly appreciate your support and
vote"
DR.. Havenner has conducted a sin
gle-handed campaign, basing his plea
for another term on the federation's
record Of achievements during his two
years as president.
THE record of these two years." he
said, has been notable in the public
mind and gratifying to all persons in
terested in municipal affairs. Nine
strong citizen associations have added
their membership to the federation dur
ing this period, bringing the total en-
rollment to 50 constituent associations
spread over the District and represent
ing o total citizen movement Of more
than IS 900 persons.
During these two years the fedora
ton has taken an active part in all
matters Of Importance looking to the
upbuilding of our city and to the well
fare Of our people. Its policy has been
to work for those things, and only those
things that make for good government
Cites Achievements.
1.-The federation urged the enactment
into law of bill providing free text
books and educational supplies for
pupils Of the junior and senior high
schools Of the District. It had an ac-
tive part in securing increased salaries
to the police and fire forces of our
city, in having enacted into law the bills
providing for two additional justices of
the Supreme Court of the District and
two additional justices Of the District
Court Of Appeals.

on the operating table at Emergency.
The alteration in which the man
was injured occurred at his place Of

the affair, one that the argument
started over the ownership of some
tools which Stogner said he came to
the shop to claim, having left them
there when he dissolved partnership
with George Ridgeway, the present
owner while others said that the fight
was the outgrowth of Jealousy"
No one would elaborate on the latter
statement. however.
Rtdgeway told police he heard Carlisle
call and found him lying on the floor
Of the establishment when he ran int
the building.

and was treated for decorations OF the
head and later left for his home, where
he was arrested by Detectives Dalglish

farm CONFERENCE
HERE W|LLOPENA Al
10 FRIDAY MORNING
Snow Drifts on County Roads
Expected to Cut Down At
tendance Of Farmers

Snowfall during Wednesday night
is regarded as threatening attendance
at the Burleigh county economic con-
ference here, Friday and Saturday.
The main highways are open, but
county branch roads are badly
drifted. according to reports that
come from outlying sections.
County Agent Miesen was at Minot.
Wednesday, and found highway No. 6
open at the time. but heavy drifts
formed along the side OF the road
where snow had been turned off by
the snow pillow. These. in a way. pro-
tect the road surface from filling
with drifting snow, blown on the
heavy winds. Highway No. 10 also
is open. It is feared by Agent Miesen
that snowdrifts will limit attendance
from along these main roads and q
few others and from the are around
Bismarck.
Nevertheless. the conference will
proceed just as planned. It will be
called to order in the federal court
roo over the post office at 10 o'clock
Friday morning by Agent Miesen.
Farm board influence on Burleigh
county agriculture will be the morn
ing subject.
The work of the conference will be
divided up among committees Of
about 80 members each and these will
study particular subjects of farming
and formulate programs for activities
in them.
Between 300 and 400 leaders in vari-
Gus branches of farming in the county
have been invited as delegates. Elk
perts from the Agricultural college
extension service will be here to aid
the committees.
