JOHN C. CILMARTIN
 AT ROTARY CLUB
Gave Address on VOCabu=
 lary Building at Noon Meeting at The Elton
FOUR SALIENT PHASES

John C.. Gilmartin, principal of Croft grammar school, addressed the Rotary club at their weekly luncheon today at the Hotel Elton on Vocabulary Building"
 The speaker said it is the desire of every man to possess a reason- ably large working vocabulary, and 1t is within the power of every per- son to augment his supply of words and to improve his diction to an in- esumable large degree. The only requisite is a determination to de- vote a few minutes day to this important subject and as soon as the seed is planted it will grow and continue to grow without end. It will gain greater and greater mo- mentum as time progresses.
 He encouraged his audience to cultivate a large vocabulary as realization of it's possession was bound to engender feeling of con- fidence and security, thereby driv- ing out of their system, mans arch-enemy. self-consciousness. He said that at once confidence ap- peared it would remain for all times.
 He stressed the point that the importance of vocabulary was not to be able to use long and often times inapprehensible words; they are not to be used in a pedantic way. We study words in order to increase our stock of them. This stock is to be held in reserve, 90 that whenever the occasion de- mands a certain forceful or ap- propriate word, 1t will be an easy matter for the speaker to select it from this reserve supply.
 He hoped to zee the time when the schools throughout the country would devote a little more time to the importance of vocabulary building. For in the final analysis aspirants for positions will be judg- ed by their appearance and by their adroit use of the whole tongue, and not by the number of books they have read.
 The active vocabulary of the average man does not exceed 1,2OO or 1900 words. This. he said, savored of word-pauperism. He re- marked that the acquisition of 10000 to 10000 vocabulary was within the reach of every one.
 The four salient phases he drives home to his adult vocabulary classes are: Pronunciation; vocabu- Experimentation and adjectival building.
 This quartet he remarked, would prove a formidable foundation for any ones vocabulary.
 To carry his theories with prac- tice he converted the banquet hall into g. classroom and exemplified the proof of his remarks. The bankers, doctors, lawyers and all were obliged to take their pens and paper and obey the orders of h. structor Gilmartin.
 He gave the Rotarians a few words including: Alien, data, adult, address, inquiry, precedence. call Hope conversant and combatant which he asked to have pronounc- ed and accented. Then he asked to evolve at least 25 words from: Manifest potent and malevolent. In order to get rid of the words. good, bad, terrible and awful, he asked to let each adjective in the follow ing phrases qualify three more nouns: ungovernable temper, ami mated speech, merited censure and formidable foe.

refused to declare an embargo OF
wheat in North Dakota and to pre-
vent grain shipments by use Of mill

Willis asked the governor II he
would join Governors Erickson OF
Montana, Green of South Dakota
and Olson of Minnesota In declaring
an embargo.
Il have given good deal of
thought to this subject and I feel
that it's success depends upon the
voluntary cooperation of the farm
er and such cooperation cannot be
secured by the use of military force
in the hands of the public officials.
1.-The farmers of North Dakota have
the right under the constitution Of
the U. S. to ship their wheat or any
ether property to another for any
lawful purpose and the free exercise
of that right cannot be interfered
With or prevented by the governors
of the states, under either civil or

BOTH SIDES REPRESENTED
Lee Is Appointed to Third Posi-.
ton on Nonpartisan Exc
cutiye Committee

Things began to move along the po-
litical rialto this week.
Of particular interest to Bismarck
persons was the large number of the
states big shot politicians who
passed through here EN- route to Fort
Yates. where the 1ndians-and appar-
emily the politicians are having q
celebration.
Heading the Republican list were
Senator Gerald P. Nye and Congress
man j. H. Sinclair.
Leading the Democratic cavalcade
were H. G. DePuy. Grafton, candidate
for governor; r. A. johnson, Minot
candidate for lieutenant governor; r
B. Murphy, Bismarck, congressional
candidate and William NJ Schantz
Bismarck. candidate for state treas.
urer.
OF statewide interest was the ap.
pointment of c. N. Lee, Dodge, as &
member of the Nonpartisan executive
committee to succeed Robert Larson
Minot, who resigned to become sec
rotary to Senator Lynn F. Frazier.
Lee, while relatively young in years
is an "old-timer" in Norpartisan &C.
tivities and was chairman of the ex.
ecutive committee during the two
years preceding the Nonpartisan con.
vention last winter.
In announcing the appointment
Nystul said: Decision to appoint Mr.
Lee was made after careful surve,
of the situation in which the Non
partisan League finds itself as the re-
suit of the responsibilities which art
about to be placed upon it following
our victory at the June primary.
From Third District
Under the bylaws of the Non
partisan League, the successor t.
Larson had to be man from the oil
third congressional district. Geogra
phical location was one consideration
Another was Mr.. Lees long recort
of outstanding service to the League
He has been an active Nonpartisal
worker through the years and com
mands the respect Of everyone wht
knows him.
"A third, and perhaps the most i'm
portant. is Mr.. Lees experience as
former member of the executive com
mittee. During the two-year perioe
ending with the Nonpartisan statt
convention early this year he wa:
chairman of the executive committee
We feel that the work he did during
that period laid much of the ground
work for the success which the Non
partisans scored in the June primar.
