4F EEUHIOtx,6 NOlEs InhS IS tle Inst of six features on the events in the amazing love story of Aimee Eemple McPherson Hutton, Los Angeles evangelist, who recently embarked on her third honeymoon. RY LAURA LOU BROoKMAN st NEA Service Writer { 6Copyright. 1881. NEA Service 8 Inc.)
 When thrice-married Aimee Eemple McPherson Hutton, in { bridal negligee of white satin and chiffon, gazed at her six-foot, 235- pound bridegroom, David l.. Hut ton, and declared, Hes the man ! of my lifei" she dismissed sum- marily a long list of men who have . been mentioned in her romantic life.
 There was a Hungarian count whom she met in Alexandria, Egypt, on her. round-the-world trip. There was Homer Rodeheav- CT, band leader for Billy Sundays 1 evangelical campaigns. There was c. w Walkem, Jr., her secretary and musical arranger who made the trip from Paris to Los Angeles with the round-the-world party. There were others-evangelists business associates and men with whom she worked during revival ist campaigns.
 There were Kenneth Ormiston-- and the mysteries that still sur- round the association of these two.
 Comparisons between Hutton, the bridegroom, and Ormiston, the mystery man, are inevitable.
 Both are associated with radio. Ormiston was engineer at Angelus temple broadcasting station and after the sensational court proceed ings established @ radio store in Los Angeles. Hutton has been a radio entertainer and at one time was addition manager of station KFVD. sg
 Both are younger than the evan gelist. Hutton gave his age as 30 on the marriage license application. Ormiston was 32 at the time of the Kidnapping episode-three years younger than Aimee.
 Both men are unusually tall and distinguished looking. Hutton is six feet one. Ormiston also is over six feet The baritone weighs 235 pounds but is reducing. Ormiston's weight is about 150 pounds.
 Both have been vigorous in the evangelist's defense. Said 'Iron Man" Hutton, Anybody who slan- ders Aimee from now on will have to account to me. I'll smack any, body in the nose that pulls any of that stuff"
 Five years ago Kenneth Ormis- ton was declaring. eff I can do anything to clear her name I will do it."
 Aimee and Hutton went to Luna, Aria, for their arplane marriage. It was out of the Arizona desert the woman preacher came in June, 1928, after the disappearance in which 1t was charged she was with Qrmsston.

NONRESIDENT BUSES
ENTERING n. D. MUST
PURCHASE LICENSES
Opinion Issued by Assistant At.
torney General at Request
of Registrar

Motor transportation companies
entering North Dakota from other
states for the purpose of delivering
and taking up passengers and prop
erty are required to obtain North Da-
kota licenses. according to an opinion
by Harold Shaft, assistant state at
torney general.
The opinion was issued on inquiry
by the motor vehicle registrar to de-
termine specifically If lines operating
between Minneapolis and Fargo must
bear licenses from this state. These
buses are used only to take up and
discharge passengers at Fargo.
The bus company would not be re-
quired to pay the additional fees paid
by firms engaged in what is classified
as commercial passenger transporta-
tion." Such firms pay an additional
fee based on the seating capacity Of
the vehicle at the rate of SIS a pas
senger. but the buses operating from
Minneapolis to Fargo would not fall
within the classification. Mr. Shaft
said.
Calling attention to Chapter 179,
Laws Of 1927. Mr.. Shaft stated the
owner of motor vehicles operated on
any highway in the state must be IL
cenSed.
"The term highway" he said, rs
defined to include every way or place
Of whatever nature open to the use
Of the public as matter of right for

purposes Of vehicular travei. This
definition clearly includes city streets
as highways. Since it is iinmaterial
as to how many miles a vehicle may
travel on our highways, these vehicles
must be deemed to come within the
terms Of our registration statutes as
motor vehicles operated upon high
ways in this state transporting pas
sengers for compensation.
"The statute thus construed does
not violate any provision of law or If
the United States constitution with
reference to the right of the state to
place a burden on interstate COM
merce."
Commercial passenger transporta-
ton is defined by law as the carrying
Of passengers for hire between fixed
termini not wholly within the limits
Of the same city, village or borough,
Mr.. Shaft said.
1T is therefore my opinion," he
continued, "that any bus which is not
operated upon the highways of North
Dakota outside of the Incorporated
limits of a North Dakota city is not
required to pay the additional fees re-
quired Of those engaged in CONNER
cial passenger transportation
Mr.. Graham said steps would be
taken to license the bus com oanies
operating into Fargo, and to make the
fee retroactive. A similar situation,
he said, exists in several other border
towns and efforts would be made to
license any buses which appear to be
violating the law construed by Mr..
Shaft.

checked at Jamestown May 8, Valley
City May 9, Fargo May IL. The name
thrush is often misused. AS noted
above, the water thrush is really q
species of warbler, though its general
appearance is somewhat like that OF
q thrush. The brown thrasher is
often called thrush, but it Is very
different sort of bird.
ThrusheS are closely related to rob-
inS and resemble them considerably
in behavior. w. H. Hudson, the well
known British naturalist, described
them as follows: "Olive-brown above,
paler and spotted below; q loud and
varied song, and harsh cry; a statu-
esque figure: rapid, startled move
ments on the ground, with notion
less intervals, when the bird stands
with head and beak much raised, In
an attitude denoting intense atten-
tion."' Four different kinds occur In
North Dakota. They are much alike
and difficult to distinguish. The wood
thrush is a more southern form and
rarely comes so far north. The her
init Is the first to arrive and prac-
tically all Of the birds Of that species
have gone on northward by the first
Of May. The hermit Is recognized by
the fact that its tail is redder than
its back. The olive-backed and the
gray-cheeked are distinguished by
the yellowish cheeks of the former.
The willowis the western form of the
veery, Is more reddish brown all over
the back and has smaller spots on the
breast than do the other species. The
willow nests in deep woods in a few
parts Of North Dakota, but the other
species 60 farther north. All are shy
and retiring In their nesting habits.
A large group Of white-throated
sparrows arrived May IL, but appar-
emily no Harris sparrows came with
them. The Harris sparrows are pc
culiar In that they migrate in about
a 200-mile-wide territory along merid-
ians 81 to SO. They winter from

Editor, Tribune:
In your issue of Wednesday, May
18th there is given a brief summary
o. a talk presented by us to the Amer
ican Legion Auxiliary-War Mothers
annual party. In this talk we were
requested to present the work OF a
national maternity association. as
this educational discussion Is being
made a part of women's club work.
Unfortunately an error crept into the
printed account of that talk which to
me is matter of vital Importance as
iC makes an information giving state
ment appear as a criticism OF local
facilities for adequate maternity
needs.
This is the statement as 1t appear
ed: There is no community in this
county where competent maternity
care is available to every mother at q
rrice she can afford, It Is
rlanned to direct public attention to
the deplorable maternal death rate IN
this county and to inform the public
as to what constitutes adequate ma.
ternal care and why 1t is necessary"
May I call your attention to the fact
that the use of the word county Is
typographical error and that country
should have been used. This vii
change the whole meaning of the SEN
tence. Further, in the discussion o1

day among some gooseberry bushes,
catching insects which were attracted
to the blossoms. A single black and
white warbler was seen the same day.

CVuTtn manu- Id
This strength must be distributed
in at least three different suits.
However, If a hand contains only
a minimum count, 1t must also con-
tain at least two quick tricks, while
if the hand has more than the mini
mum count. one and one-half quick
tricks are sufficient, with the count.
to justify an original no trump bid Of
one.
Original no trump bids are also
made on hands containing two and
one-han quick tricks and no biddable
suit.
Under the writer's system of con-
tract bidding. the object is to pass as
much information as possible back
and forth by intelligent bidding and
thereby approach the best bid IN the
combined 26 cards, therefore there
are very few hands that should be
opened with one no trump which
contain a biddable four card suit.
However, if the strength is distributed
in four suits and the four-card suit
is rather weak. the no tramp may be
selected in preference to suit bid.
What you are endeavoring to tell
your partner when you make an orig
inal bid of one no trump is that your
hanC contains either the required
count or two and one-half quick
tricks With no biddable suit-in other
words. you have distributed strength
and can undoubtedly support almost
any lid he will make. and If the bid
he makes does not suit your hand,
you can continue with no trump.

Milk PRODUCTION
IS HIGH IN april
Heavier Feeding and Larger
Proportion Of Fresh Cows Is
Cause, Says Expert

Fargo, N D., May l9.-Buttcrfat
production among COWS in North Da-
kota's nine herd improvement associ-
alton continued to climb In April.
even though pastures we're not far
enough along to materially influence
the flow Of milk, according to the
monthly summary issued by =. j.
Easlerud, extension dairyman of the
State Agricultural college here. An
average Of % pounds of buttertat per
cow was received by 122 association
dairymen.
Heavier feeding and a larger pro-
portion of fresh COWS are the two fac
tors probably responsible for the in
creasing butterfat yields per COW at
this season. Wedding out of poor
cows. which has been going or at q
rate of about per cent a north for
many months, also has tended to
raise average herd production, 1t is
believed. Herd improvement records
over a period of years have incicated
that fall freshening of COWS is most
profitable for North Dakota condi-
llolS, YET spring IreSNenlng eV>oently
is still common practice.
The effect of new pastures on milk
production is usually most evident in
June. In the early spring months.
when pastures are too scant and the
grass is too watery to provide much
feed for COWS, the best dairymen con-
tinue to feed grain and forage.
In association averages the New
Salem Hanover association in Nor
ton county again forged to the front
with an average of 30 pounds Of but
terfat per COW. This is the largest of
the nine associations, having men,
bership of % dairymen and total of
463 cows. Cass county was second
with 29.6 pounds, Ward county third

TOP AND SUBSO|L IN
NORTHWEST STATES
INJURED BY DROUGHT
Southwest Quarter of Country
Has Plenty; Southeast Is
Satisfactory
DRY RECORD IS SET IN N. D.
Wheat Said Suffering Severely,
Dust Storms Blowing Seed
Out of Ground
DRY RECORD IS SET IN N. D.

Washington, May 19.-(R)-Ameri-
can farm lands are not yet out OF
danger after last years drought, and
may suffer serious relapse If single
hot, dry month should come along.
This is the outlook as described by
j. B. Kincer, chief of the division OF
agricultural meteorology of the Unit
cd States weather bureau. Although
the country in general is convalescing
from the 1880 dry spell, it has not yet
built up enough reserve strength in
the form of moisture in the subsoil,
ne says, to resist another prolonged
attack of dry weather.
There is faint possibility OF an
other drought this summer, Kincer
points out, for weather bureau records
of the past SHOW a tendency for one
cry year to follow another. This
tendency is not sufficiently reliable to
be used as a basis for forecaSting,
however.
Rains in many sections SO far this
spring have been below normal, as
was the case last year, and some areas
have had even less rain in 1881 than
in the drought year of 1880. States
in the northwest have had subnormal
rainfall for as long as fourteen years.
and their reserve of moisture in the
soil has practically disappeared.
Rainfall of normal intensity Is eS-
sential all summer until the end OF
September to prevent serious damage
to crops this year. Kincer says. More
rain than normal would be preferable
in order to build up reserve.
Rain so far in 1891 has been large
Iy on a "hand-to-mouth' basis.
enough to give crops start. but not
enough to insure successful growing
season unless moisture Is plentiful
all summer.
Moisture in the subsoil in North
Dakota is the lowest on record for
the state, say reports to the weather
bureau. Surface and upper suhsoil
moisture in the spring depends on
rain and snow that have fallen from
September to April. and moisture In
the lower subsoil depends on rains OF
proceeding years.
The northern prairie states and the
Northwest are badly in need OF more
lain. Kincer says. Rain also is need
ca. but less urgently, in the middle
prairie states Sections along the
Casteyn seapoard have a moderate
supply, but more rain there would be
beneficial. The south has enough
moisture for present needs, but VIII
require plenty of rain through the
summer. Only the southwest has a
plentiful reserve supply OF moisture
IN the soil, he reports.
In the spring wheat belt. surface
moisture is scarce. Wheat Is suffer-
ing severely, much replanting is ne
cessary, and dust storms actually are
blowing the seed out of the ground IN
some sections, the weather bureau
says.
