‘Old Salt’ Discovers Possible Code For Recent Sounds
The mysterious “signals from Mars” have been read! A local man, a retired and retiring sea captain, has a theory concerning the sounds, not of earthly origin, recorded on radio Instruments during the recent approach of Mars to the Earth, and in view of the fact that scientists themselves are disputing as to what these noises may be, his theory is as good as any other.
“Old Salt,” as the originator of the theory prefers to be known, started from the fact that the sounds consisted of four dots and five dashes, often repeated. He then proceeded to number the bodies in the solar system, starting with the Sun as No. 1. Mercury No. 2, Venus No. 3, Earth No. 4, Mars No. 5, and so on.

Attorney General George F. Shafer and officials of the state game and fish commission are nearing the end of a game of button-button, who’s got the furs, which has created some quiet amusement in unofficial circles here.
It all began during the primary campaign when Mr. Shafer was presenting his plea for recognition by Republican voters as a candidate for the governorship and was the subject of considerable whispering in the latter stages of the campaign.
Several weeks before the primary election the game and fish officials of Minnesota notified the North Dakota Game and Fish commission that Mrs. George F. Shafer, wife of the attorney general, had shipped some beaver hides to a Minnesota furrier to be made into a coat.
