Of the central west Tuesday.
Farmers of parts of northern Illinois
and in some sections Of Wisconsin
hailed with Joy downpours that broke
q wave Of intensive heat and brought
aid to crops, while residents Of cities
in the rain area welcomed the
precipitation as relief from a ra-
pidly growing fire hazard.
Nearly half inch Of rain fell Mon
day nigh: in the Chicago area, &C
companied by winds and thunder
storms that sent the temperature
tumbling from 80 to 81. A 50-mile
an hour wind whipped Chicago. dam
aging several unfinished buildings at
the Century Of Progress grounds.
Rains ranging upwards to one inch
fell In some sections of Wisconsin
Monday and Monday night.
In Nebraska, one of the hardest hit
of the rainless states, there were q
few light showers that helped bring
relief from the intensive heat, but
which gave little help to the farmers.
Meanwhile reports continued to
pour in from many sections of ir-
reparable damage from the long dry
spell. H. G. Donovan, a Chicago crop
expert, said wheat stands in western
Kansas, eastern Colorado and Me-
brAska were virtually ruined.

Like two bulldogs. needless Of the
spectators who seek to pull them
apart, Paraguay and Bolivia are lock-
ed in death struggle at Fort BALI
Wan.
The censored dispatches which have
come through from Asuncion and La
Par indicate each nation has thrown
the full power Of its main armies into
the fight in an effort to end the war
decisively and in . hurry.
This rush Of troops into battle has
come just as the world powers an
nounced through Geneva, Washington
and London that the war In the Chaco
must end.
Steps have been taken to shut off
further war materials from the COM
batants by embargoes. It Is possible
that the Fort Ballivian campaign, al-
though In progress for four months
past. is being expedited by both ma
lions in an effort to beat the embargo
deadline.
It probably will be weeks before
any kind Of authentic estimates come

ever, Is only IN incident In 400 years
Of Chaco fighting.

teeming strikers as truck drivers and
their sympathizers rioted In q two
block square area.
Eighteen special policemen. some

those taken to the city hospital in am
balances and police squad cars. The

tide Of battle and resorted to driving
squad cars. with sirens screaming,
into the throng.
Some lodged. Others did not, or
could not. A few strikers, struck

THORESEN ASSAILS
LANCER RECORD AS
BIG BUSINESS AID
Says Governor, Despite Preten'
sions, Is Subservient to
Interests

Valley City, N. D., May 2l.-(4o-
Charging that Gov. William LANCER
is 1.-The most obedient servant OF, and
has served, large corporations more
faithfully than any governor we have
had during the past decade" T. H. H
1horesen. Grand Forks. candidate for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernOr. formally opened his campaign
Tuesday afternoon. Thoresen is cam
didate on the anti-Langer Nonpar-
tisan League ticket.
Also on the speaking program was
G Liebert Crum. candidate for attor-
ney general, who termed the present
campaign "a crusade to bring back to
the people of North Dakota an admin
istration Of honesty and sincerity In
state government"
Thoresen assailed the governors
record, declaring LANCER has proved
he is subservient to the corporation
big business and outside interests,
while throwing up smoke screen
condemning such interests for the
purpose Of gaining the favor Of the
farmers and working people Of North
Dakota
Wants Legal Moratorium
Thoresen favored a moratorium on
foreclosures by legal method. He
charged the Bank of North Dakota
has been allowed to come under the
influence Of chain bankers and Sc
verely criticized the LANCER admins
tration "for its lack OF economy"
He urged development of the pres
ent state-oWned enterprises, dcclar-
Ing that until new conditions create
new demands no new industries should
BE- financed by the state.
while I firmly believe in our in
dustrial program" he declared, yet
I desire, for the purpose of making a
lasting and permanent progress, to
advocate that we must first make more
secure these institutions and indus
tries which we have, before venturing
into new fields"
The mill and elevator. he continued,
never had a fair chance"
Lack Of vision as to its real aim
and purpose and in some instances
actual dishonesty Of purpose, has all
but wrecked the institution" Eastern
brokerage concerns are buying flour
approximately one dollar per barrel
cheaper than it is costing the farmers
Of North Dakota who are actually the
cooperative owners Of the mill and
elevator" Thoresen declared.
Asks Honesty In Industry
He recommended for operation Of
the mill and elevator honest, con-
scientious men to take charge Of the
industry" and that these men would
have to be qualified to operate flour
mill, disregarding their political af-
filiations."
Discussing the Bank Of North Da-
kota, Thoresen said 1T might be feas-
IDLE to establish q branch to act as q
depository" where investigation re-
veals the people Of any county are
without adequate and safe depository
facilities"

CANADIAN STATIONS
ARE REALL0CATED
Shifts in Broadcast Wave Lengths
Follow Closely Separations
in United States.

American radio listeners who are
accustomed 10 tuning in Canadian
broadcasting stations will find many
OF them, particularly the higher power
stations Of the Dominion, at new dial
settings from September ! onward.
Designed to improve radio reception
throughout Canada, the engineers Of
the Canadian Radio BroadcaSting
Commission have worked out a reallo-
cation of wave lengths scheduled to
go into effect on that date.
The reallocation, except that it Is
not so widespread in scale and does
not affect as many stations, is
Canada's counterpart Of the great
1928 American reallocation effected
by the old Federal Radio Commission,
which shifted more than 80 per cent
of all stations to new dial settings.
Canada's shifts are made very much
along the lines of the American allo-
cations, following closely the mileage
separations between stations on the
same and adjacent waves that are in
effect In the United States. Thirty
three Of the wave lengths In the
broadcast band are to be used in
Canada, or four more than were
formerly used, This accords, however,
with the Canadian American wave
agreement of several years ago, and
the assignments are not expected to
cause additional interference despite
the fact that the Canadian stations
will use many channels in common
with United States stations.
Canada's higher power stations,
which are the most likely to be heard
in this country, drew the following
assignments in the September / allo-
cations: CFCN, Calgary, 10000 watts
on 1880 kilocycles; CFRB, Toronto,
10000 watts on 500 k1locycles; CKLW,
Windsor. Ontario, 5000 watts on
1880 kilocycles; CKY, Winnipeg, 49,
600 watts on 900 kilocycles; CKAC,
Montreal, 5000 watts on 73O kilo-
cycles; CRCM, Montreal. 5000 watts
on s10 kilocycles, and CRCT, Toronto,
5000 watts on $40 kilocycles.

WEATHER DATA PLAN
FOR AUTOIST URGED
U. s. Aero Bureau Suggests Fill
ing Stations Receive Reports
for Motorists.

So that transient motorists can Sc
cure a weather service, the United
States Bureau Of Air Commerce,
which last month started a special
new weather broadcasting service over
its So atrwayS radio stations scat
tered about the United States, makes
the suggestion that gasoline filling
stations along the highways be
equipped with radios TO tune In these
reports. The Bureau, in a statement,
suggested that bulletin boards be
motorists to read, urging the service
as being especially valuable In noun
famous and rugged regions where
weather changes fast.
Automobile test trucks and auto
clubs have already found this means
of determining weather very val
uable," says its statement, "but II has
not yet been placed at the conven-
ience Of the casual motorist or cross
country driver. Just as the airplane
pilot depends on the weather reports,
so will the automobiIist depend upon
them in his selection of routes and
the length of his days travel"
Ordinary auto radios, which usually
tune the normal broadcast band of
550-1,550 kilocycles, cannot get the
special weather reports because they
are in the so-called long wave band
between 200 and 400 kilocycles How
ever, special small receivers could be
installed by the filling stations and
kept tuned to the wave of the nearest
airway station so that those on land
can get the same weather service that
is furnished to pilots in fight.

u. S. AIR RECEPTION
IN BRITAIN GOOD
Conditions Alter Range of Radio
Stations-500-W Plant
Heard.

Depending largely upon the wave
lengths used, transatlantic broadcast
reception in England during the 1888
"a season, which means from october
to about April, has been unusually
good, reports world-Radio of London
There Is still huge army Of DX-ers
or distance hunters in the British
Isles and the radio and other periodi-
Gals there devote considerable atten-
tion TO the sport.
For a while, this periodical reports
American medium stations were
seldom II ever heard, but a change in
conditions began about october, 1882
The improvement, it Is remarked
came opportunity because great ad-
vances had been made in receiver
technique and owners of new sets
even with little or no experience In
dialing for distance, can now hear sta
tions in America at favorable times
with little trouble.
High power partially accounts for
the better reception, but some low
power stations come in well. Possibly
the lowest powered station on the
longest wave heard during the last
season, reports World Radio, was
WIP, Philadelphia, with 500 watts.
KDKA, Pittsburgh, once a favorite in
England, Is now seldom heard at any
thing approaching reasonable strength
despite its $4,000 watts. On the other
hand, WGY, Schenectady, with $4,000
watts, comes In Splendidly.
The British listener has to stay up
until about 3 am, London time, to
get results in tuning America. Dur
ing the last season, World Radio
states, the following stations have
been heard often in the British Isles,
and the publication adds that sit may
be assumed that under satisfactory
conditions reception of them is rea-
sonably certain: wABC, WIZ and
wEAF, New York; WOR, Newark;
VITO, Hartford; wHAM, Rochester;
