Fifty-cent wheat came back by a rise of almost 3 cents today after a long period of lower prices, and stocks rose in sym pathy. The market broke the half a dollar price after a rise of 2 to 2 cents to day, a total rally of 8 cents from the 1932 bottom, which was the low est in the history of organized grain exchanges. Since the first of the year, with only six full trading days, wheat futures have risen more than 8 cents. Cash grain also has gone higher. Much of the sympathetic rise in stock was in railroad shares, con trary to old-fashioned principles. In normal times, a bullish wheat mar ket, denoting a short crop, caused a bearish stock market, as there would be less tonnage to carry by rails both from and to the farms and de mand by the roads for steel and oth er materials. ' Official forecasts of a cold wave, which threatened to damage an al ready suffering crop in the prairie states, accounted largely for the strong buying.

Peru, Jan. 11. One man is dead and two others are injured as the result of an airplane crash a half mile from here Tuesday afternoon. The dead: Joe Boyles Jr., 25, Auburn, burned to death. The injured: F. B. Furlong, Auburn, broken ribs and a broken toe, cuts and bruises. E. C. Karstens of Shubert, pilot .f the plane, painfully Jut not se riously injured. The plane was owned by a Hum boldt man and Boyles who had re built it in Auburn and was planning to fly south in it. With Karstens act ing aa. pilot, he. and Furjong were flying over the bottom land near Peru when, farmers in an adjacent field said, the plane apparently struck .a low clump of trees. It wavered but did not crash until it struck a high tree about 200 yards away. One wing was torn off and the fuselage fell in flames to the ground. Karstens was thrown clear and managed to pull Furlong from the wreck. He was, ' however, un able to fight his way through the flames to save Boyles. The crash occurred on the farm of Julius Wey and Mrs. Wey, from her front porch, was the closest wit ness. When the plane brushed the clump of low trees, rbout 100 yards west of the house, Mrs. Wey ran in to the house for safety. The craft rose again, however, cleared the house and then crashed into the tree east of it. Farnfers nearby rushed to the Wey home, obtaining water to extinguish the flames while Karstens attempted to save Boyles. When the fire was extinguished he was dead. He was sitting with his feet under the gas tank and could not extricate him self. The plane was brought to Auburn three months ago and reconstructed for Boyles' flight south. The three men began making flights with it a month ago, and the accident Tuesday was the first mishap. Karnstens said they . were flying low looking for a place to land on the Wey farm. All three had taken flying instruc tion. Boyles took instructions at the Omaha airport. Boyles was one of eight children of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Boyles sr. Mr. Boyles is a carpenter. FORT CROOK PARADE HONORS NEW CHIEF The first parade of troops at Fort Crook thi3 year was held at retreat Monday afternoon in honor of the new commandant, Colonel Thomas M. Anderson.

A feature was the appearance of the men without overcoats, which was remarkable for this time of year, due to fine weather Monday. Colonel Anderson was well pleased with the parade, and complimented the officers on the appearance and conduct of the men. Journal Want-Ms coat only few cents and get real results I North Dakota Farmer Tells of the Depression Chicago Journal of Commerce Gives Letter and Comment of One of Western Fanners. Under the caption of IVb Hell But It Might Be Worse," the Chicago Journal of Commerce gives the views of a North Dakota farmer on present conditions. The article is as follows: Gentlemen, if ever there has been offered you a slogan to carry you forward in these parlous times, there is one. Written by a hard-pressed son of North Dakota soil, tattered of raiment, forced to dig his own coal at the risk ot his life to keep from freezing to death, the words in the above caption are potent and filled with spirit of men who can "take it." The word3 are lifted from a letter printed in the Round Table of Busi ness a few days ago. A remarkable letter for its humanness ,its never- say-die spirit and its unembellished picture of "nature in the raw." Here it is again. Read it: "It's hell but we can't help it. Our crops are punk. More than 200 farmers here have ask ed the county agt. to get them Red Cross aid or they will starve. I have not got my threshing done and I'm not the only one in that fix. I can get my thresh ing done If I furnish the gas and oil but I have not got that much money. Our wheat here is only grading about 4 or 5 and a lot of it is no grade. "All of us farmers are dig ging our own coal and that is dangerous because we haven't the timbers to prop up the roof. The taxes are not paid and I can't pay them. My brother has 480 acres and no mtg. He tried to borrow $2500.00 but he could not get a c. His improvements are good. It was 21 below zero yesterday. I must dig about 15 tons more coal, came close to getting crushed last week when the roof caved in, I just missed it as I carried a big chunk of coal out. We had a lot of snow some time ago and it mostly thawed off then froze so its hard -: for the horses on the prairie . and if the snow gets deep its good bye to many of them. We have enough to eat but our clothes are getting ragged. Wil- . liston has a large soup room and the street is full at meal time. More' than one farmer Is eating there. Hope you are all well. My wheat will make about 5 bu. per a. I am feeding the bundles to the cows. It's hell but It might be worse. "I'm very tired tonight, am going to get some 'shut eye as quick as I can get the stoves fixed for the night. As Ever "L. G. B." And now ponder those words, not composed by a college professor, nn adorned with adjectives or fine writ ing, but, men, what a stark, v virile picture of a battle with adversity, the elements and economic conditions over which this farmer has no con trol! If ever there was a "human document" here is one. It is things like these that are real literature, but rarely, found in books. No ef fort by the writer to draw the plaud its of critics; no effort to arouse sym pathy; no effort but to tell In plain, very plain, simple language the story of his battle to live. One is impressed and struck with the utter ruggedness of this letter. Without realizing it which makes for its sincerity the writer stirs the soul with hi3 Indomitable spirit. 'Our crops are punk;" "It was 21 below zero; "I must dig 15 more tons of coal;" "the roof caved In, I Just missed it;" "if the snow gets I7(S)El SAILED 47 Head Extra Good Work Mules and 4 Head of Horses THIS STOCK can be seen in Nehawka.

Im possible to borrow money and fann ers eating at soup rooms. And then, "Its hell but It might be worse!" And there are thousands that are warm and well fed with only a modi cum of labor who go about crying "hard times" and "depression." And then do you note, after all his hardships, this man is still so licitous of another's welfare? "Hope you are well." "Hope you are well." As long as there are men in this nation of ours of that pluck we need never fear of it going to pot. One feels like throw ing out his chest and marching be hind such men as that.
