HOOVER NURSERY IS
READY FOR CHILDREN
Peggy and Peter to Arrive at
White House Tuesday; Big
Party Planned

Washington, Dec. 21.-R- When
Peggy Ann and Peter Hoover come
back to the white house Tuesday thew
will find their third floor nursery
just as they left it last spring.
The grownups who have occupied
it since have been moved out. Little
tables and chairs are in place again
for the youngsters.
Peggy Ann and Peter lived at the
white house last winter while their
father was in Asheville, North Caro-
lima, recuperating from illness. They
were the central figures for the big
family parties at Christmas. Invita-
tions went out in their names then,
and again now.
This year they will have, in addi-
t1on to the Christmas Eve and Christ
mas night parties, an afternoon party
next Wednesday all their own TO
which $50 children have been invited.
But it will be a new kind of party,
one of giving and not receiving. The
invitations asked the youngsters to
bring toys and candy and warm gay
sweaters to be given to others:
For Santa Claus has sent word
that he is not going to be able to
take care of all the little boys and
girls he wants to this year."
And SO too, in all the Christmas
affairs, the Hoover family will save a
little of the cost, the difference to be
given to those it will help most.

PLAN Inquest IN
DEATH OF FARMER
Burned Body Of Henry Gugolz
Found Friday in Ashes of
StraWstack

Beach, N. D., Dec. 21.-(P-An in
quest was to be held here late Mon
day into the death OF Henry GugolE,
SO, farmer whose burned body was
found Friday in the ashes of a straw
stack on his farm near here.
Following an investigation into
circumstances surrounding his death,
Golden Valley county authorities ex-
pressed the opinion that death prob
ably resulted from suicide.
It was learned that Gugclz had lost
money IN ventures on the stock mar
ket and that because of a poor crop
this year had been despondent. Of
ficials said he had on occasions
threatened to take his life. Gugolz
had been living alone on the farm
while his wife reside din Beach.
The body was found by Axel Nell
son and Ed Kroma, neighbors. Near
1t was a 20 caliber rifle containing
an exploded shell. Officials said the
rifle belonged to Gugloz. Coroner H.
l.. Stack said a bullet wound was
found in his head. The strawstacx
burned last Monday but it attracted
little attention until the two neigh.
bors accidently discovered the body
Identification was made by Beaci,
dentist who recently did some den
tai work for the dead man.
Officials said that only one set OF
tracks were apparently in the snow
around the StraWstack. The tracks
led to the strawstack. There was none
leading away.
Gugolz came to the United States
from Switzerland. He had resided in
the Beach vicinity about 20 years.

Will Save 100000 Annually
to North Dakotans, Ben
Larkin Estimates

Freight rate reductions ordered by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
on petroleum and its products from
the mil-continent field to North Da-
kota points range up to 28la cents per
100 pounds, Ben C.. Larkin, chairman
of the state railroad commission, said
Monday following the receipt of a
copy Of the order of the federal COM
mission.
He estimated that the revised rates,
which become effective March is, 1882,
will result in a saving of $4,000 an
nually in North Dakota during a nor
NAL year.
A previous reduction, ordered by the
I. G. c., June IA, 1928, resulted In a
similar saving, Larkin said, bringing
reductions on petroleum and its pro-
ducts to approximately $500, 900 a year
since q fight for revised rates was
instituted before the interstate COM
mission six years ago.
Lower In Three States
The rate apply on carload freight on
petroleum its products from Okla
hona, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana,
and Kansas to North Dakota, north
ern South Dakota, and western Min
neSota.
The North Dakota commission took
an active part in the proceedings, SUBJ
mitting exhaustive rate and traffic
studies, filing briefs, and orally argu-
ing the case in Washington.
While certain of the complainants
testified that it was necessary to have
the routes through the Twin Cities
left open, although the short distances
are not through the Twin Cities, the
North Dakota commission insisted on
recognition of the short line routes.
e. M. Hendricks, traffic expert for
the state commission, expressed the
opinion that had not the short line
routes been urged, the rates prescrib-
ed would have been on much higher
basis.
The I. G. c. did not establish a
rigid distance scale, but prescribed
specific rates to small destination
group. In doing so, however, it took
into consideration the short line dis
tances as well as the actual operat-
ing routes.
Few Reparations Awarded
Reparation. on past shipments is
awarded in a few isolated instances
on modified basis. From Pingree
to New Rockford, inclusive, reparat-
ton is awarded on shipments moving
on and after June IA, 1928, on the
basis of a rate of rs cents per 100
pounds: Sheyenne to Leeds, inclusive.
II cents per 100 pounds; Kenmare to
Portal, inclusive. SO cents per 100
pounds: Petrol to Bowman, inclusive,
80 cents: and Griffin to Montline, In
elusive, SO cents.
A comparison Of present rates and
the new rates, effective March Is, 1882

and its products to representative

Brother Of Il Duce Is Victim Of

Milan, Italy, Dec. 11.-(P-Arnaldo
MusSolini, 46, brother of the premier,
died Monday of heart attack.
He left the office of the newspaper
Popolo d'Italia, of which he was edi-
tor, shortly before one o'clock to have
luncheon at home.
He became i'll in his car and was
taken Immediately to a hospital.
Doctors worked over him but he
died within a few minutes.
Apparently he had been in the best
OF health, but one Of his three sons
died year ago and the father suf-
fered greatly from the shock, though
1t did not seem that his health had
been impaired.
Arnaldo Mussolini was almost the
direct antithesis of his elder brother.
He despised sports. His brother
loves them. He was careful mo-
torist; the premier habitually drives
at IS miles an hour. He was stout
and wore spectacles; the premier is
stocky with sharply chiseled feat
ureS.
Both were newspapermen and
Arnaldo was editor of the Popolo
