PRODUCED the bill by request.
One Measure Beaten
The only bill on the calendar to
meet defeat was one empowering
civil townships to join in purchasing
and maintaining fire fighting equip
ment. It went down 80 to II. L. E.
Correll, sponsor, said the bill was es-
pecially adaptable to q situation at
Casselton where the equipment was
desired to aid in fighting fires oc-
curing on surrounding farms.
Among other bills to meet house
approval we're those regulating the
use Of dairy products at state insti-
tutions ana prohibiting the use of
oleomargarine at such institutions;

highways; prohibiting gasoline, 9TH
er than anti-knock gasoline, from
containing a foreign coloring matter;
transferring $3.50, 900 from the re-
turned soldiers fund to the general
fund; permitting cities and villages to
buy fire fighting equipment on the
installment plan; and an appropria-
ton of 1896 to pay A. M. Forest for
damages sustained in a collision with
o state-owned snow pillow.
Committee reports recommending
indefinite postponement of nine mea-
sures were adopted. Included among
the bills killed were those lowering
the legal rate on public printing, ap-
propriating $940.56 to reimburse the
Box Elder bridge fund for the struc-
ture erected between North and South
Dakota, making it lawful for county
commissioners to bid upon and be
awarded contracts for state highway
work and compelling county commits
sicners to erect suitable markers
where roads have sharp turns.

girl athlete, has finished with com-
petitive sport.
In her last race she established q

But there Is more to the record
than appears in the books. From the

AS the girl skinned over the fifth
barrier a sharp cracking sound was
heard. She set her jaws and al on.
She fell to the ground just after
reaching the tape. An X-ray told

TWichell Loses
Desperate Fight
On Bridge Bill
Continued from page one)

the bill sent to the committee Of the
whole for action on amendments.
Matt Crowley, Hebron, opposing
the bill because 1t locates the bridge
definitely at the Big Bend Of the
Missouri, offered an amendment
which would permit the county COM
missions of Mercer and Mclean
counties to locate the bridge by
agreement. This lost and the bill
was recommended for passage.

viously had been beaten.

to adopt the report of the commit
tee of the whole, another motion to
defeat the measure lost by a 81 to So

Twicell attempted to send the
measure back to the committee with
a view to incorporating Crowley's
amendment but this effort also lost.
During part of the battle the
house clerks lost count Of q standing

again. Twichell demanded that the
speaker count the members himself.
asserting 1T has been DONE" but
Speaker G. v. Freeman ignored the
request.
After the report had been adopted,
H. F. SWEET, Kidder county Nonpar-
tisan who had aided Halvorson' In the
battle, moved the clincher motion on
the action. This sprred Twichell to
action all yer again and this time
the vote was S. to Sc.
Asks Open Trades
AS the smoke of battle cleared
Crowley rose to demand that "all
trades be made here in the open."
This drew a laugh from the house.
Arguments on the bill hinged
around the use Of money allotted to
this state by the federal government
for road and bridge purposes. Hal
vorson commended that lack of state
funds makes it impossible for the
state to use up all Of the federal
money and that the bridge would cost
the state very little. Commenting on
a proposal to take the money from
the road and bridge fund and give 1t
to the state highway department for
road and bridge purposes, Halvorson
asserted this would be unfair to the
people since the money had been col
lected for this specific purpose.
Twichell and Lynch stressed the
fact that more roads could be built
II the money were transferred to the
highway department.
Twichell asserted that an appropri-
alton for $4,000 already has been
made for q bridge at Elbowoods In
northwestern Mclean county and
that it is proposed to build two
$700, 900 bridges within 40 miles OF
each other"
Halvorson Corrects Him
Halvorson asserted that the dis
lance is Sc miles and that the assem-
bly, already has voted two bridges for
the eastern part Of the state In addi-
ton to the one for THE Indians at
Elbowoods."
The Elbowoods bridge bill passed
the house several days ago by a prac-
tically unanimous vote and without
comment. It was signed by the gov

VIII the Suspension of German
ReparatiOn Payments Help Our
Business?
Germany is trying to convince the
rest of the world that the depres-
sion will vanish if this country
wipes off the book all the war debts
owed us. Their arguments are that
the money she pays as reparation
claims under the Versailles Treaty,
goes directly to us in payment of
war debts. During the past year
the debtor nations did not pay us
any thing on the principal, and only
Milford chronicle., 1931-06-26

two per cent interest and the
amount paid was 235 million. Quite
a large sum in itself and just about
one-half of the amount the Ameri-
can tourists spend over there. Why
not suggest to the would be Euro
pean visitOrs-"See America First. :"
No one can believe the small
amount of money paid us by the Eu-
ropean debtor nations in compari-
son to the huge amount they bOr-
rowed since the war, is responsible
for all the depression. 1t is mostly
within ourselves. The American
business man is depressed, the
slump is in his head. when horse
balks the balk is in his head, not in
his legs" He moves when he thinks
he will. Bargain hunters are now
buying back the stock they sold two
years ago for thirty cents on the
dollar. A new generation is in the

ing laid for boom that will eclipse

messed.

sources are barely touched. This

nation is too young and vital to jar
distant from decadence, for men to
sulk and refuse to believe in its
growing wealth and opportunity. To
lose bit of money, is nothing. But
to lose hope, nerve and ambition,
that is what cripples. 1t is incon-
ceivable to think these present con-
ditiOns will last always. 1t just had
to happen and just so the upward
trend is coming. This has not been
so much the coming of hard times,
but the passing of soft times. The
mistake was made thinking that
everybody could prosper by doing
as little as possible and spending
paper profits. 1t might be that the
people are getting tired of reading
about the economic question that is
threatening the very foundation of
this republic. The sooner every
body resolves themselves into a
committee of one" the better.

no conventional leads. Conventions of
this type are a necessary and COM

possible to have any intelligent play
by partners without having some con-

your partner so far as you can what

to do. The more meaning there is to
every lead or every play, the greater
pleasure there is to those players who
understand and appreciate it.

4-H CLUB NOTES


4 Club activities for the week were
largely centered at the University
of Delaware, where the State Short
Course was held. A hundred and
thirty-seven boys and girls from the
\ three counties in the state spent a
profitable and a delightful five days

There are certainly wide differences
of opinion as to the so-called Con
ventions" of Auction and Contract.
Some players advocate conventions
and rules to fit every case, which would
convert the game from an amusement
into a study, from pastime to a lesson.
Every one who wanted to play better
game would have to learn and observe
these numberless conventions and rules.
There always would be a right and
wrong way of playing and bidding
every hand, and the burden of too
many conventions would be heavy on
the game. Conventions are becoming
too complex and unless the tendency is
stopped they will spoil the finest card
games ever invented.
Certain conventions undoubtedly are
necessary for they convey information
to partner that makes a full under
standing possible. Such conventions as
recognized leads, for example, give

If diamonds are trumps and z is in

seven tricks against any defense?
Solution: z should lead the deuce of

ten. B can now lead either hearts or
spades.
(a) If B leads the deuce of hearts, Z
should trump it and lead his remaining
trump. A cannot discard spade for, if
he does, z can lead his king of spades,
throw Y in the lead with the king of

good. Therefore, A must discard

heart. Z should now lead the eight OF
clubs, which Y wins with the king. B
must now discard either the king of
hearts and make Y's nine good or dis
card spade and make rs spades good.
In either case, Y z win the balance of
the tricks.
(b) If B leads a spade at trick two,
instead Of heart, z wins the trick with
the king and leads the ten of diamonds,
on which all three players must discard
hearts. Z then leads the deuce of dia-
monds and the same position arises as
when B led the heart and Z trumped it.
In either case, therefore, Y z win the

with the ace Of clubs and, instead of
leading another club and letting Y

A either had the Ace or could trump it.
A did trump and, therefore, defeated
the hand two tricks. If A and B had
not used the conventional leads, they
never could have obtained this result.

sticking to necessary conventions of
