ponent, under that rule, could
knock the first players shooter from
the ring and would be credited with
the six mibs, then could resume his
shooting, probably winning the
game through taking out only one
more marble.
This rule eliminated many a good
shooter simply through bad luck.
The new rule allows the player
whose shooter is left in the ring
after a miss" to pick it up and
await his next turn. He retains the
marbles he has shot from the ring.
The rule reads:
After a miss player picks up
his shooter. wherever it lies, until
his next turn and then is permitted
to take roundsters and shoot from
any point of the ring line"

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Refusal

it was not the end-only the be-
ginning.
Prices are too high, Odlum de-
cided, and Atlas began to liqui-
date. When the crash came at
least 100000 of the Atlas re-
sources were in cash. Most of the
rest we're in investment trusts,
some still held by the company.
After the first collapse the mar
ket stabilized somewhat in Novem-
Der and rose rather steadily until
about April. At the right time,
then, Atlas put in its ready cash
and rode upward.
It's one depression was to pick
up its first investment trust, Wild
law, Inc, in February, 1880.
Already, Immediately after the
crash, Odlum and his fellow di-
rectors were studying what to do
besides merely floating with the

market tide. He was forming a
plan, and it was the same one fol-
lowed consistently until the pres
ent. They got in on the ground
floor with 1t.
In times like these. he said
to his board, you've got to do
something else than just sit on
portfolio.
Here was his 1929 analysis and
strategy
Investment trusts are COMPARE
lively new, and their stocks are
not generally acceptable as col
lateral. They have suffered I'M
usual declines. Their sponsors are
sick of them. Their stockholders
want to get out.
So, in many instances, the own
ers are ready to sell at prices be-
low the market value of securities
which the trust holds. Here is
the opportunity to acquire mar
ketable securities at an actual
discount.
But what did the the investment
trusts sell to Atlas? Why didn't
they liquidate themselves and give
their stockholders at least the full
value OF their own holdings?
The reason was that liquidation
meant taking a definite loss. Abb
sorption into Atlas would give the
stockholders a long chance on
eventual recovery.
THE investment trusts in gen.
Il eral after the crash were sit
ting on their portfolios, loaded up
and frozen tight. Their shares
were kicking around the Street at
as low as so per cent of actual
listed value of assets.
So it was not difficult for a
skilful negotiator like Odlum
quietly to buy control. Then the
management would offer the out
standing minority stockholders to
exchange Atlas shares for their
old investment trust shares.
Having bought in at such de-
preciated prices, Atlas then could
sell the old company's underlying
securities at an assured and sub
Stantial profit. Immediately the
buying organization had its cash
back in hand, considerably in
creased in amount, and was in DO
sition to repeat the operation.
On falling market the only
requirement was to sell newly &C
quired stocks quickly. The more
rapidly this cycle revolved, the
higher the profit.
AS the trust-buying policy got
under way, Atlas in June, 1880. &C
quired the All America General
Corporation. Other small trusts
followed. Then Wall Street rubbed
its eyes as the newcomer picked
off a group of big ones-in April,
1881, the Ungerleider Financial
Corporation, which had been rated
at 100000; in July, Sterling Sc
curities, $25,OOO,OOO; August, Cha
than Phenix Allied, $21,OOO,O 900:
September, National Securities In

The ground, Roberts reported, Is

R0TARIANS HEAR OF
IMAGINARY LAWS
Assistant Attorney Gen sral
Says Many Beliefs Not
Supported BY Statute

Many laws with which we are IA
miliar or which we believe are laws
have no foundation in the statutes
Of North Dakota, Attorney General
Milton K. Higgins told members Of
the Rotary club Wednesday.
Higgins, who spoke on Laws We
All Know. Although Imaginary"
cited many instances Of laws that are
presumed to exist but do not exist
in fact. Among them, he said, was
the idea that q tenant could not be
evicted during the winter months.
There Is no such law on the statute
books, he declared.
Another IS the idea that there is a
law providing q penalty against a
person striking another wearing
glasses. No specific penalty is pro-
vided In such cases other than the
general one for assault.
Certain types Of contracts, made in
writing and providing for no consid-
Grafton, sucn as the payment of q
dollar or other considerations to
make them binding, are legal. though
many persons believe they are not.
Most contracts are legal whether a
consideration Is shown or not. he
said.
Some persons believe that checks
or other documents signed with q
lead pencil instead of with ink are
not legal, but they are. 1t is per-
haps better that they should be
signed In ink, because 1t makes docu-
ments harder to forge, but there is nc
legal necessity for SO doing.
Guests of the club included w. F.

BURLEIGH COUNTY
DONATES $500 TO
DIVERSION plan
Will Assist in Getting Project
Presented Before Nation.
al Authorities

Burleigh county appropriated $500
Wednesday to assist the Missouri riv-
er diversion project, after p. B. Sulli-
van OF Devils Lake had appeared be-
fore the board Of county commission
ers and asked donation to assist in
paying the expense Of getting the pro-
ject before the president and the pub
lie works commission at Washington.
In order to have the necessity for
the project presented properly to the
authorities 1t was necessary to employ
two firms Of consulting engineers Of
national reputation and to pay the
expenses Of geologist and other
scientists to prove that the project was
more than . dream. Sullivan told the
board.
Frank w. Murphy, regional director
Of public works and Captain r. A.
Radford, regional inspector, who has
worked as an engineer on similar pro-
jects In various parts Of the world,
are both in favor Of the project, he
said, and he believed that the chances
for getting the project started were
better now than at any time in the
past.
The project, II approved, will en-
ploy 10000 men and would solve the
states unemployment problem, sulli-
van asserted. 1T would mean that
@00. 100000 would be spent between
Bismarck and Garrison and should
mean lot to this section Of the state
from q monetary standpoint alone.
Besides, It will create q lake 1873 miles
long and In places IL miles wide
north Of Garrison" he said.
The diversion project is being sup
ported by nearly every county board
50 far approached, Sullivan said. He
believes that the project will be ap-
proved within the next 80 days by the
president.

POTATO
GROWERS ASKING
Rate REDUCTION
North Dakota Potato Producers
Want Emergency Rates
Made Permanent

An effort to have freight rates to
Texas and other southwestern potato
markets adjusted permanently 50 that
growers in western North Dakota can
find a market for their product Is
being made by officials Of the North
Dakota Potato Growers association,
who are In Bismarck comforting with
the state railroad commission.
Over 500 carloads OF certified seed
potatoes are shipped in normal years
from northwestern North Dakota,
according to z. M. Gillig, state seed
commissioner. At present these po-
tatoes are bringing premium Of 81
cents q bushel over common potatoes
being shipped from the eastern part
Of the state and from Minnesota on
to the southern markets, but there
is freight rate differential Of 10
cents a hundred pounds in favor Of
Red River Valley points. This con-
dition Is what the North Dakota Po.
tato Growers association Is attempt
ing to change.
Last March railroad companies in
this territory granted q temporary
rate reduction to shippers from west
ern North Dakota to Texas points.
They have extended 1t to apply to
the present shipping season. Last
year Colorado and Nebraska railroads
granted a rate reduction in favor Of
shippers in those states that prac-
tically excluded North Dakota po-
tatoes. This year the shippers from
this state will be more in line with
those states but a further reduction
will be necessary to develop a perma-
nent market.
Maine potatoes have had q mo-
nopoly on the southern markets" said
Ofcar N. Hagen Of Watford City,
president Of the association, who Is
working with Gillig on the rate re-
duction case. This comes from the
fact that they can ship by boat. To
meet this situation, growers in states
farther south secured rate reductions
that enabled them to compete on a
more equal basis. We are hopeful
that with the support Of Red River
Valley shippers we can secure emer-
gency rate reductions that will enable
us to market our potatoes at q profit
this year. Even small concession
would mean thousands Of dollars to
the growers In the western part Of
the state" he said.
