Everything is being done by

Washington, Sept. 21.- say
to you emphically that your work
must be improved. Embezzle-
ments have failed to discovery,
defaulcations and dishonesty have
been concealed from you, and in
many cases you have failed to cor
rectly or even approximately esti-
mate the value of paper and Sc
curities held by the banks This
was the declaration made today
by Comptroller of the Currency
Lawrence O. Murray in address
ing conference of national bank
examiners representing practically
all of the territory east of the
Ohio river. He advised them
that if they could not find out the
true condition of banks, to send in
their designations and not excuses.
The conference, which is being
held behind closed doors, is: ex-
pected to last several days and is
the first under the comptroller's
call of September 9 to discuss
hank exsminsr1 work with aaview

FARM INSTITUTES
START IN DECEMBER
SUPT. HOVERSTAD IS MAKING ar
RANCEMENTS FOR COMING WIN
TER SERIES ST APPLICANTS,

Fargo, Sept. 22.-Supt. I. A.
Hoverstad of the Farmers Insti-
tute corps of the agricultural col
lege, announced this morning that
the winter series of Institutes
would be started about Dec. Z, and
that so far he had received 81 ap-
plications from towns over the
state requesting that day be
spent in those places.
I'VE have not yet begun the
work of arranging the schedule,
said Superintendent Hoverstad to-
day to the Forum, but | will
soon send out notices to the news
papers over the state requesting
that those wishing to have insti-
tutes held in their towns, send in
their applications at an early date
so that the schedule can be ar
ranged.
i find that it is impossible to
get the farmers to turn out earlier
than the first of December, as they
are 50 busy ct home. The appli-
cations that hsve come in are from
Eall parts of the state and. fifty

both it's branches and it is there
fore peculiarly important that
there should obtain such harmony
between them. To fail to elect
Mr.. Taft would be calamity to
the country; and it would be folly,
while electing him, yet at the
same time to elect a congress hos
tile to him, a congress which un-
der the influence of partisan lead
ership would be certain to thwart
and battle him on every possible
occasion. To elect MIR. Taft, and
at the same time to elect a con-
gress pledged to support him, is
the only way in which to per-
petuate the policy of the govern
ment as now carried on. l feel
that all the aid that can be given
to this policy by every good citi-
zen should be given; for this is
far more than a merely partisan
matter.
Both your committee, and the
national committee, of which Mr..
Hitchcock is chairman, are en-
deavoring to secure the active CO.
operation on the stump of senators
and congressman, party leaders
and independent citizens generally.
/ most heartily join in urging the
Importance of such cooperation.
[ hope that every disinterested
private citizen, whose so concern
in politics is to have the right kind
of man carry out the right kind
of policy, will join in backing up
your committee as we'll as the ma
tional committee in this movement.
No service is as effective, as val
liable, as the disinterested service
given in such manner by men
whose one concern is for the
triumph of the principles in which
they believe; and l appeal with all
the strength there is in me to such
men to give such support.
Sincerely yours.
Theodore Roosevelt. .

seven is q large number for this
early in the season. Several ap-
plications have come from places
in the new country in Morton,
Hettinger and the south part of
Billings county, which is quite q
distance from the railroad. We
will make these places next sum-
mer, as we cannot work this dis
trict in the winter.
"The usual special meetings will
be held at Fargo, Valley City,
jamestown, Bismarck, Minot,
Devils Lake and Grand Forks.
Last year the institute paid spec
ial attention to the fertility and
this subject will be part of our
program this coming season, but
we will pay special attention this
year to stock raising and it's value
to the farmer of North Dakota. l
do not know how that matter will
appeal to the farmers as they
have the grain raising proposition
so firmly lodged in their minds
that it is hard to educate them to
any other method.
I'VE will have Prof. Thomas
Shaw with us again this year,
which will be good news to the
farmers of the state. Professor
Shaw has received urgent requests
from other states, but prefers to
remain in the North Dakota corps.
He is we'll acquainted with our
methods of conducting institutes
as we'll as with the farmers per-
sonally and he thought that he
could do more good to this state
than if he went to some other
where he was not conversant with
the methods"

NORTH DAKOTA
HAS fine SHOWING
n. D. EXHIBITS As ARRANGED At WIS.
C0NSlN FAIR MAKE A GREAT
SHOWING.

Among the exhibits in the
building devoted to the products
of the farm is one by the state of
North Dakota, arranged by w. C.
Gilbreath, the commissioner of
agriculture and labor. which is not
only full and complete, but shows
the mighty resources of that state.
A year or two ago the country
was filled with horror over the ia
talities that resulted from the fact
that this far western country had
been caught during the cold
weather without a sufficient quan-
tity of fuel to keep the inhabit-
ants in many cases from freezing
to death. People on the
farms we're obliged to abandon
their holdings and take refuge
from the wintry blasts in the lar
ger class of towns and cities, and
in many cases they were obliged
to burn the doors of their homes
for firewood. The exhibit made
by North Dakota shows that the
shortage of fuel has been ever
overcome, and all danger of
fuel famine has passed. 1t may
be too, that this display explains
the reason why the shipments of
coal into this western country has
been SO slack of late.
Among the samples of the pro-
ducts of North Dakota are large
number of samples of Ignite coal,
which has been discovered in large
quantities in the land of the Dako-
tas. It is said that values of lig-
mite coal underlie the greater part
of the state, though it is only be-
ing worked in few places up to
the present time. 1t is claimed
that before long the farmers will
be mining their own coal. 1t is
estimated that in Ward county
alone there are 100000 acres Of
coal bearing land, and that there
are large deposits of the coal in
nearly every county in the west
ern half of the state. Where the
rivers have cut through the under
lying clay they have barred these
veins which are said to be in many
cases ten and twelve feet in thick
ness.
The clay is also being utilized
in the making of pottery of an ex-
cellent and highly ornamental
character, and the finest building
material in the shape of brick to
be found in the country.
The exhibit also contains a full
line of grain and grasses grown in
the state, together with variety
of game birds which have been.
treated by the taxidermist, but
which are said to exist in large
quantities in their native state
The specimens include six or sew
en- varieties of wild duck, geese,
grouse, curlew, and rabbits and
other game calculated to catch the
fancy of the nimrods.

That plucky sheriff at Pensa'
cola, Fla, has found himself in
some unpleasantly warm water.
Not long since he summoned a
posse to defend the jail from a
mob which was after a negro pris.
oner who had perpetrated the
usual horrible crime. The moi
was quite strenuous in it's efforts,
failed to heed the warnings Of the
sheriff, and a battle ensued in
which several mem bers of the mob
were killed and the sheriff serious
ly wounded. The mob succeeded
IN overpowering the sheriff's force
and secured their man who was
promptly shot to death and then
strung up to a telegraph pole.
While citizens generally commend
the officer for doing his duty SO
brsvely, there is said to be a large
number who are vowing vengeance
against the sheriff and threaten
to run him out of the country-or
worse. We are a peculiar people.
We elect a man to an Office, make
him take a solemn oath to faith
fully perform duties pertaining
to that office, and when he does
this, in such cases as the one under
consideration, we usually want to
lynch him. Florida should see
that this sheriff is protected if it
takes every able bodied man in
the State to do it. People will
have to learn sooner or later that
the law must be upheld at all
costs and at any hazard.

The Canned Fruit Business.

There is q marked activity in
the canning industry IN the State
this year on account of the bum
per crop of fruits, berries and veg
etables. Every good housewife is
busying herself in putting away
supplies for the winter and per-
chance will have something for
the market. Commercial canning
in Davidson county is not carried
on extensively but there is no
reason why our people should not
90 into it on a large scale, for we
always have some fruit, plenty of
berries and plenty of vegetables.
In some counties this industry has
become a very important one, as
in surry, for instance, where. says
an Elkin dispatch, more than one
hundred thousand dollars will be
paid into the hands of the farmers
this summer for blackberries
alone. The farmers do the can
ming themselves, using tins, and
sell to the shippers. More than
eight hundred thousand cans have
been shipped already and the crop
is not yet exhausted. AS the ber-
ries cost nothing the profit is enor-
nous. Our people can enrich
themselves III this line of endeavor
end we would like to see the bust
ness grow more rapidly. Corn,
beans and tomatoes can be pre-
pared for the market at small
cost, and will always find a
healthy demand, for the product
Is pure, and good and cheap. We
could make the canning business
rival in value of output our truck
ing and fresh fruit and berry in
dustry.

NOT SETTLED YET.
The Case Of Hazlng Cadets Has Not Been
Finally Determined.

Whether the dismissal from the
West Point Military Academy of
the eight cadets who had been
found guilty Of hazing is to be
made permanent or the young men
translated through congressional
action or executive clemency, is
still undetermined. This attitude
of the government is set forth in
an official statement issued today
by President Roosevelt through
Forester, who is the acting private
secretary to the President in the
absence of Secretary Loeb. now on
his vacation.
The President characterizes as
erroneous contrary announce
ments made earlier by Secretary
Loeb and Secretary of War Luke
E. Wright. Today's statement
explains that the President has
not as yet heard finally from the
Secretary of wal as to the latter's
recommendation in the matter aud
that therefore the national execu-
tive has reached no final decision.
By Secretary Loeb the President
has been represented as approving
the dismissal Of the cadets. Sub
sequently and following a confer
ence with Mr.. Roosevelt, Secretary
Wright told the newspaper men
that a decision to reinstate the
offending cadets had been reached.

Winston has suffered so much
recently from burglaries and other
depredatlons, that the mayor has
ordered the police to arrest all
persons who won't work and who
have no visible means Of support.
It's a bad sign when a man who
has nothing to live on refuses to
work, but lots of them manage to
struggle along, live fairly we'll and
often have spending money. There
can be but one way to do it.
