European "cartel'-a trada agreement
between private interests. 1t Will be
signed by individuals and executed by
them. The wheat conference seeks
international control by government.
In sugar, as in any other commod-
ity monopolized by we'll organized
groups. observers explain that 1t Is
comparatively simple to enforce a
program of export and ploduc-
ton control. 1t is their orivate
property and they can do with 1t as
they please. sympathetic govern
ments may lend their encouragement
or even write the trade agreement
into law.
Wheat is produced by millions OF
farmers acting, for the most part, as
independent units and 1t is exported
in the same way by hundreds OF firms
which compete with each other as
we'll as with foreigners. Obviously no
wheat cartel could be organized un-
less all the what in all the countries
were controlled through single
agency in each country or by closely
allied groups.
Russia alone could control wheat
exports and production, but Russia S
announced intentions are contrary to
cooperation with the rest of the world.
Neither the farm board nor TIE Ca
madam wheat pool control sufficient
volumes and there is no central mar
keting agency in India, Australia or
Argentina.
With the,cartel out Of the question
observers say. the conference and It's
advisers must look to some other type
of control if exports are to be regu-
lated and production reduced 1t is
agreed that governments hardly will
pass laws to cucumber private enter
prise's free operation Of its own prop
erty. Certainly the present confer
ence is not expected to undertake that
and at present there is no Indication
that wheat will become the subject OF
q diplomatic conference.
There is one high light in the pic
ture of international wheat control.
The grain which goes into EXPORT is
bought and paid for by private in
.terests and whether the governments
may undertake to limit the number
OF operators or limit the size ot their
operations is q question which must
await the recommendations Of the
conference.

A following bid Is one made after
an original bid has been made by one
of the opponents and is often termed
q defensive bid. It shows one and
one-half to two and one-half quick
tricks.
If your right hand opponent is the
dealer and opens the bidding, you
should overcall if you hold at least q
biddable four card suit and one and
one-half to two and one-half quick
tricks. If your suit Is a good biddable
five-card suit, the total quick trick
requirements Of your hand need not
be over one and one-half tricks, or
If you are able to overcall tNe op-
poncnts' original bid with q bid OF
one you can do 50 with four card
biddable suit and one and one-half
quick tricks. But II you are forced
to overcall with two bid and have
only q four card suit, your quick trick
requirement is two tricks.
If partner was the dealer and
passed, and then your right hand
opponent opened the bidding with a
suit, you must remember that your
partner has denied holding two and
one half quick tricks and therefore
you should hold at least two to two
and one-half quick tricks to maze an
overcall. Otherwise you may get
doubled and set for q large penalty
or you may force the opponents into
a game going declaration. Remem-
ber that If you hold only one and
one-half quick tricks and partner has
passed, there cannot be over three
and onc-half quick tricks In your two
hands and it is quite probable that
your opponents have q game-goine
declaration. =.
When opponents open with q suit
that you have stopped twice and you
hold two quick tricks and no biddable
suit of your own, you should overcall
| with one no trump. While the writ
er advocates no trump overcall with
definite quick trick requirements and
a strong informatory double, this Will
be explained to you In later articles
At the present time we are dealing
strictly with the straight forcing
system.

Bottineau county-The memory Of
Pierre Bottineau, one Of the early
French Canadian voyageurs, is hon.
ored In the naming Of Bottineatl
county. Bottineau was born In Da-
kota Territory where he lived for 50
years In pioneer days.
The county Is located about the
center Of the northern tier Of coun-
ties, reaches 60 miles from east to
west, and includes most Of the Turtle
Mountains. From the natural growth
Of. timber on these mountains. fuel
has been furnished to settlers. Ma

quantities and has been piped for use

the checking privilege is the only way
by which they can make purchases.

by which they can make PurC1ldSeS'
Bismarck has good roads leading
in from every direction, but many
people have stated that irrespective
of road; or anything else they Will
refuse to pay this exchange and will
use some other method to make pur-
chases of all things that they are
unable to purchase at home. Bust-
ness places of Bismarck spend a great
deal of money advertising but II the
people cd there to shop and find that
they must carry a sufficient amount
of cash to pay for any purchase that
they may decide to make they will
either send to the mail order houses
for their goods or have their home
merchants order everything that they
want for them. So it would look as
though Bismarck was going to lose
a great deal of trade by taxing the
out of town trade with an additional
ten cents on each Of several small
checks cashed. Perhaps Bismarck
doesn't need the out-of-town trade,
and perhaps the out-of-town trade
doesn't need Bismarck.

Editor, Tribune:
I would like to call attention to
something that I believe is detrimen-
tai to the city of Bismarck, or any
other city that follows the same prac-
tice. and that is the business places
Of Bismarck charging exchange on
checks issued by residents of towns
within at least a 50-mile radius of
Bismarck.
People who 60 to Bismarck to shop
remark again and again that their
privilege Of paying with check is
yalueless as they are expected to pay
ten cents exchange on a dollar check
and that Is about what it amounts to.
A very short time ago someone from
a town a short distance from Bis
marck attempted to have a small
check cashed at store where she
had traded for at least Is years and
was informed that any check up to
$500 would cost ten cents exchange
and was also informed that the next
time she came to Bismarck to shop
that she had better carry cash. Peo-
pie going to Bismarck or any other
town to shop do not care to carry
large amounts Of cash and feel that

weaker than u required for an orig

than is necessary to support an orig
inal bid.
Informatory Doubles
When your right hand opponent
makes an original bid Of one and
your hand contains from three to
three and one-half quick tricks, you
should make an informatory double
even though you may hold a biddable
suit. This shows partner q strong
hand and even though the hand Is
trickless, he Is required to take this
double out II the left hand opponent
passes. However, II partner can
count on your informatory double
containing three to three and one
half tricks. he, with strong hand,
can pass, thereby turning the inform
atory double into a business double
which may be the means of collect
ing large penalties.
While most authorities agree that
all doubles Of original no trump. or
suit bids of one and original suit bids
Of two are informatory. there is some
disagreement on doubles of original
suit bids Of three. But II you use the
high trick requirement as outlined
above, partner can easily use his own
judgment on doubles of three.
All doubles Of two no trump are
business doubles.
Partner shall respond to informa-
tory doubles as follows:
Holding one stopper In the suit
doubled and at least one quick trick
and no biddable suit, the correct re-
Spouse is one no trump.
Holding no stopper in the suit
doubled and no biddablc four card
major suit. the best suit in the hand
must be bid.
with two quick tricks and a major
suit containing at least king jack X X
. Jump bid should be made to show
partner that your hand does contain
some high card tricks. While this
Jump bid is not a forcing bid on part
ner, It does show him definite high
card tricks in your hand, and he
may either show his suit or support
yours.
Holding three quick tricks or better
and q good biddable five-card major
suit, you may Jump to q game going
declaration.

WANTS CLEAN SIDEWALKS
Bismarck, N. D..
May Ia, 1881.
Editor, Tribune:

Before the cleanup is finished this
spring in Bismarck, something ought
to be done about digging the soil off
the cement sidewalks In most parts
of the city the lawns and boulevards
were .uilt up higher than the walks,
and the result is that the soil-and
even the grass-has gradually spread
onto the walks until there is only a
thin S, ip of cement walk visible in
many places.
This condition is unsightly, but is
not 50 bad in dry weather. But when
it rains! Those Of US who have chill
dren running in and out know what
happens. The water has no chance
to run off the walks, which are
banked with dirt from both sides,
and are mud from one end to the
other. If the city authorities would
fix this bad condition, we wouldn't
have to mop our floors so often.
I wish some of the other house.
keepers would express themselves on
this subject.

PROVE DANGERS
 BEST STUDENTS

Carlisle, Pa = Dancing daughters of Dickinson College have proved better students than their sisters who stay at home, the Dicksonian, college monthly magazine, arl- nounced on completion of a ten-year scholarship survey.
 , The survey was conducted by Mrs Joseph Meredith, dean of women and the late Dr M. G. Filler, pres ident of the college, to determine the effects of dances and other social affairs on the health, scholarship, morals, and pocketbook of the wo- men students of Dickinson.
 "The scholastic average of those girls who dance is about seven per cent higher than the average of those who never dance," Dean Mere dith announced.
 "The group who dance are also active about the campus and con- trol most of the eXtra-curricular &C., tivities. Few serious disciplinary cases have been due to dances. Only one woman has left college within the ten-year period because of ill health," the survey report stated.
 The survey showed that the col lege sponsored from one to eight dances annually by each of the twen- ty-two organizations of conducting social affairs. All such dances were chaperoned by faculty members and were concluded before midnight.
