A Series Explaining the
BY WIN. E. MCKINNEY
(Secretary American Bridge Leaguc)

In our previous articles we ex-
planned that the One over One can
be made with a four-card suit as
long as we have one and one-half
quick tricks. An additional feature
now recommended by the writer in
his system Of contract bidding, to
those employing the One over One
is as follows:
Surprising partner opens with one
heart and you hold six or seven
spades and n and one-hal; quick
tricks. You can bid one spade,
which Is the One over One. with the
assurance that partner will keep the
bidding open. but when you hold six
or mor of a suit and one and one-
half quick tricks. we nov recommend
that you bid two spades instead of
one. Immediately informing partner
that you have a long suit, that you
do not think the hand will play at
no trump. and that you do not need
normal trump support. 1t is a fore
ing bid in the same respect that the
One over One is in that 1t requires
partner to keep the bidding open at
least once - but in neither case Is
game promised.
This information proves quite
valuable in many hands especially
where partner opened with a four
card suit and holds a five-card suit
which he was going to show on the
second round. He can o keep this
suit under cover If he holds two or
three Of your trump and imme-
diately Jump into game. In this
manner. you may get a very advan-
tageous lead.
There are no great disadvantages
II a simple One over One bid is
made and a jump bid made on the
second round. This two bid to show

RECENT RAINS HELP
NORTHWEST CROPS,
SAYS FARM REPORT
Conditions Around Sanish, Van
Hook, Stanley Are Poor
est in Years

Rains, accompanied by high winds
and storms, temporarily relieved the
dry soil conditions throughout the
northwest spring wheat area the last
week, but crop conditions remain UNI
even, the Farmers Union Terminal
association says in its weekly crop re-
port issued Wednesday.
1.-The weather conditions In much
Of Minnesota have been almost ideal
for wheat" the report says. Growth
has been slow, but plants are getting
a good root growth. Conditions also
remain favorable in eastern and
much of southern North Dakota, as
we'll as in eastern South Dakota.
"Minot and parts of western North
Dakota received some moisture the
last week, but not sufficient to help
grains materially.
Soil Blowing Damaging
Soil blowing has been particularly
damaging in western North Dakota
and parts Of eastern Montana. Where
seed has not been blown out, some
wheat fields look fairly good.
indications r that reduction of
wheat acreage in western North Da-
kota will be between Is and 80 per
cent, due largely to dry weather as
well as a desire on the part Of farm
ers to accept the advice of the federal
1arm board to curtail production.
Planting of corn is progressing
rapidly and will be nearly completed
IN most of the northwest, except
northern Minnesota and North Dako-
ia, by the end of the week. MANY
parts Of western North Dakota will
seed more corn than ever before. as
dry weather has prevented the seed
ing OF normal acreage Of small grains.
Frost late in May caused more
damage to early planted flax thar
was at first supposed and some fields
have been reseeded.
Crop conditions in Montana have
improved during the past week, with
prospects much better in all parts of
the state except the eastern coun-
ties.
Sanish Conditions Poor
Crop conditions around Sanish.
Van Hook. Stanley and extending
west into Montana are reported to be
the poorest in years. Rain Is needed
in the Rich!and and Billing areas in
Montana, where water holes are dry
ing up and cattle suffering. Unless
there is adequate rainfall, there is a
threatened shortage of water in irri-
CATION areas. High winds and cut
worms have damaged grains around
Wolf Point.
Soil ma been extremely dry
around Bismarck but eastward from
there conditions improve, with pros.
poets especially favorable in the

AIRS A VIEWS

Baldwin, N. D., June /, 1881.
Editor, Tribune:
Once again the farmers are sub
hitting with more or less grace to the
annual listing of their property for
taxation purposes. Everything the
farmer owns, from Old Dobbin to
Rover and "the cock that crew in the
morn is on the assessors list. He
even includes the farmers old ragged
shirt and greasy pair of overalls.
Put $4,000 in a bank and you get
interest and compound interest regu-
larly without outlay, but put the same
sum into a farm and equipment and
you will pay taxes upon taxes all the
rest of your life. Blow in a thou
sand dollars, waste 1t for useless GIN
cracks, and it is forgotten as we'll
as gone. Invest a similar sun into
something useful, like a home, and
you pay taxes every year-usually
higher taxes each year, too.
Is it any wonder u younger gen.
Grafton is growing into a nation of
spendthrifts? What inducement Is
state and government holding out to
them to be saving? Have a good
time while your money lasts" seems
to have taken the place Of the old
adage: "A penny saved Is a penny
earned" Nowadays, a penny saved
only means additional excuse for ex-
tracing it from u pocketbookS,
more or less painfully.
Farmers and business men are
taxed to death. The more saving
and economical they have been, the
harder they are hit by the asses
sor's ak. And, he. poor fellow, a
do nothing about it. He has to obey
his superiors in spite Of our looks
and angry tempers on our part.
The trouble, or part Of 1t at least.
rests in the fact that we have been
making two blades of grass grow In
place Of one, in too many places. We
have too many high salaried office
holders.
We coddle them and baby them and
ever add to their number and only
stop once in a while to complain at
the load.
MY idea is that We should begin
right at the top and demand a full
days work for a full days pay. Why
should they have a half holiday on
Saturday, so when We come in to do
business they are all out of town
fishing or otherwise enjoying them
selves? Times are hard, right now,
and it is up to all, and not only a
few, to 90 slow. Some of these city
fellows complain because the farmer
owns a car and other modern con-
v~eniences. They tell us that the
farmer would get out of the hole
quicker if he went back to Grand
pas time and got rid of his cars
and so on. But they never think OF
taking their own medicine-oh, no.
Too much advice is what got the
farmer where he is. If he hadn't lis
tened to Tom, Dick and Harry; if he
had plainly shown his resentment at
being ordered to do this and then
that, he would not be in his present
predicament. He bought COWS, and
high priced ones at that from some
bankers who wanted to unload, sheep
from the same parties, and now look
where he is. Farmers should all unite
and stand shoulder to shoulder while
demanding Hands OFT" on the part
Of all but actual tillers Of the soil
in the farming game. If he did this
and stuck to it, he would receive a
decent profit on what he raises, with

0SSSs
Saying that 80 E. A. O'NEAL
per cent of American farm commod-
tiles is sold during the harvest period
Of three to four months, usually on a
forced and unwilling market, O'Neal
insists that the cooperative plan OF
orderly distribution is essential to
keeping tariff protection operative
on agricultural goods.
Give the farmer" he says, "a
chance to sell behind the tariff wall
and he will not have to worry about
acreage adjustment or depressed
world markets.
There is a sufficient domestic out
let for most farm products If they
are marketed with an eye to demand,
and what is left over may be sold
abroad without breaking the price at
home.
Acreage adjustment and the ar
tificial stimulation of prices will not
solve present difficulties. The law OF
supply and demand cannot be cir
cumvented. The problem must be
and will be solved by elimination-the
individual whose costs OF production
are too high eventually dropping out
of competition"

MIR. TOWNLEY AND INTEREST
Bismarck, N. D., June 3, 1881

NANs ~ AMI IN 1EEtEOA
Bismarck, N. D., June 3, 1881
Editor, Tribune:
Like the flowers that bloom in the
spring tra-la, A. C.. Townley is once
again among Is. Having gotten tired
of the diet Of husks he has been ZEN
joying" here of late, Art Is back with
a brand-new scheme. He knows
farmers hate interest SO he says. why
not make q law to do away with all
INTEREST,"" Just as easy as that, and
II any such law could be passed, the
garden of Eden would have nothing
on this little old u. s. A.
But being from Missouri, we want
to be shown before we will believe
Art cal change things around to suit
himself and a lot of other folks. It
would be as bad as Old King Canute
trying to sweep back the mighty
ocean with a broom.
Then, q lot of us will have our
"doobts' as to Arts honest intentions.
Is he as interested in helping out the
dear people" as he Is in feathering
his own nest?
Art used to be handy at pumping
more than oil wells and we doubt
that he has lost his cunning when it
comes to extracting shekels from the
farmers pocketbooks.
No, Arts idea may be all right, not
so crazy at that, but how can any
such law be enacted.
Old Golden Bags and Old Plutocrat
are still on the job and they are
watching their wealth as q cat watch
es a mouse-hole. We don't see how
Art or anyone else can make them
give up their taking. or rather de-
manding. interest. Before we can do
this we have to have someone, not a
millionaire, in the white house and
have something besides a millionaire
senate in Washington. Catch q rich
man doing something to take away
his wealth? Not so you could notice
it!
And, the worst of it Is, 1t Is these
rich fellows who have the world by
the tail on q down-hill pull" and II
we don't like the way they do bust
ness, we don't have to borrow from
them-so there!
Art has tried so many schemes that
failed to work that a lot of his for
mer adherents have lost faith in him.
He may be a good conjurer, all right
enough, but how can he pull the rab-
bit out of his hat after we have eaten
said rabbit for our dinner?
The Nonpartisan League may have
become a little wobbly in places, but
we fail to see just where Art would
fit in-unless it is way back behind,
and dollars to doughnuts If he can't
lead the parade he won't play circus
with us.
Well, time has q habit Of solving all
things, including Arts political am
billions, and it's a little early to tell
which way the ball will roll. How
ever, when Art can stop and keep us
from paying interest rates, w will
believe the moon is really made of
green cheese and that North Dakota,
instead Of giving Art kick In the
seat Of the pants, will welcome him
with open arms as did the father In
the prodigal story Of old.
