No POWER TO MAKE LOANS.


Testimony was taken in the two

flee In the Rialto building last July.
Among the well.known members of

Packard Tells a Truth.

The following from the
Valley City Times Record
would indicate that Packard
can be real sensible when he
lets politics alone: North Da-
kota is teeming with oppor-
tunities for the laborer who
has been the victim of the
late financial stringency. There
is many a farmer in Barnes
county who is looking for a
trustworthy and faithful man
to hire for the season or the
year. If the out-Of-work in the
east would come west at this
time instead of just before
harvest he would find steady
employment at good wages for
the season or perhaps for the
ensuing year. The state can
use thousands of steady, sober
men. During the past the
farmers of North Dakota have
been at the mercy of the tran
sient laborer, the lumberjack
and the Doe. We want better
class of labor and must have
it. The east has what we
want and thousands of the
best men are out of work. The
only problem is to get the man
and the opportunity together.
It might be we'll for the COM
mercial clubs or the farmers
organizations to advertise in
the east for the men of this
type and take steps to get
them west. In this way better
men could be obtained at a
lower wage and the state would
not be terrorized by all of the
toughs of the northwest from
middle summer until the
freezeup.

One Hundred Quarter Sections Of
School Land Let Tuesday.
TOP FIGURE SIS QUARTER
Leasing Done Under Supervision Of
0. }. Olson Of State Land Office.
Total Receipts $3.50.

The leasing of the state
school lands in BOttineau
county took place at the
auditors office in the court
house Tuesday, under the
supervision of O. J. Olson of
the state land department at
Bismarck.
One hundred quarters were
leased, the receipts being about
$125O. Most of the land went
at the minimum price of $40
per acre. The highest figure
reached was $50 paid by Knute
Larson for a years lease of the
northwest quarter of section
IS Township 1852, Range 70.
Hans Peterson got the south
east quarter of section Is, Town
ship 1862, Range rs for $17 and
Il. Il. Trimble paid $31 for the
southwest quarter and $21 for
the southeast quarter of section
16, township 1853, Range 80.
The land leased is situated
in different parts of the county
most of it being west of the
river as a great deal of the
school land in the east end of
the county has been sold. Mr..
Olson went here from Towner
to lease the lands in McHenry
county yesterday.

200 feet long he sold 400 quarts
of berries besides those canned
and eaten. He also quoted
numerous others who had been
very successful in raising this
delicious fruit in this state.
The variety best adapted for
North Dakota says Mr. Lanxton
is the Senator Dunlap, this
variety being very hardy. Any
good rich loan that is naturally
we'll drained is suitable for this
plant. "A liberal coating of
manure will conserve the lnois-
ture and add very materially to
the production of a good crop.
The plants should be planted
in rows about two feet apart
and there should be a space of
some two feet between plants.
Frequent cultivation through
out the summer is necessary to
get good vigorous plants for
truitinG the next season.
Plants may be secured from
commercial growers at about
So. 90 thousand and two dozen
plants make very good start

produce 100 fruiti1lg plants the

Delivered to Knights TempIar by
Rev. l. N. Waterman Sunday.
EASTER SERVICES Are HELD
Lorraine Commandery No. 13. Observes
Day by An Appropriate Service at
Presbyterian Church.

Lorraine commandery No. 13
of Knights Templar observed
! Easter Sunday by attendin g
/ special services at the Presby-
/ terian church at 3: 80 o'clock.
The members appeared in full
regalia and marched from their
asylum in the Masonic quarters
to the church where the beauti-
full ritualistic service was given
and an address delivered by
Rev. l.. NJ. Waterman of the
First Baptist church.
Mr.. Waterman text was
from Ephesians IV-8: When
he ascended on high he led cap
tivity captive" Following are
a few of the things he said:
To-day all over the world
thousands of assemblies cele-
brate the resurrection of our
Lord. Easter day is the most
joyous day in all Christendom.
Christ's s resurrection completed
his triumph for redeemed hu-
manity. And the climax of his
resurrection came forty days
later when he ascended high
above all the heavens. When
he thus disappeared from hu-
man sight and the bright cloud
curtained him about, what was
the great significance of his up
ward flight. Our text tell us:
He became captivity's captor.
When he ascended on high he
led captivity captive And in
so doing he met the greatest
need of the human race.
Recall how he became the
captor of physical captivity.
All humanity tasted the bitter
ness of bodily captivity in
earth's earliest ages. Before
Christ came Rome imposed a
penalty of death for staying a
ploughing oxen, but no penalty
whatever for killing a slave.
Crassus crucified 10000 slaves
in one day. Trajan, the best of
the Romans of his day, made
II, 600 slaves fight in the arena
for the amusement of the peo-
pie and prolonged the massacre
! 1913 days. Physical slavery to-
day exists only among far bar
barians in distant jungles.
Some can remember the closing
davs of African slavery in this
land. To whom are we in
debted for this deliverance?
History answers by calling the

"Whether True or Not"

Whether true or not it was

City Times-Record.
Minot Independent: Of course
it does not make any difference
whether it is true or not. This
is the most effective style of
argument that the insurgent
newspapers have - making
assertions that involve the
reputation of public men,

roll of heroes of the eman-
Cipation, in each of whose
hearts we behold enthroned the
Christ!
Then Christ became the cap
tor of civil captivity. This cap
tivity the Hebrews were tast
ing in Jesus day. This cap
tivity tells the story of human
ity's most bloody wars for a
thousand years, during which
period the best that men
gained was an exchange Of
yokes. But Christ in the heart
was creating a widening inner
revolution. This produced the
amazing movement of the cru
sades and the rising of the first
knights Templar, from whom
you take your name and your
inspiration. We can now look
back and see how the crusades
with their awful sacrifice of
human life were not in vain;
that they were the opening
chapter in the deliverance of
men from civil captivity. The
crusades would have been i'm
possible without the Knights
Tenplar. Their struggles we're
therefore a distinct contribu-
tion to human liberty. They
opened the way for the advent
of the great modern heroes,
Gustavus Adolphus, William of
Orange, Cromwell and Wash
ington. And sworn servants of
Christ were all these, through
whom he became the captor of
civil captivity.
But humanity wore other
and more CALLING chains. To
enlarge our freedom Christ be-
came also the captor of intellec-
tual captivity. The bonds of ig-
norance held the race for black
centuries. The dark ages knew
no dawn until following the
crusades came the renaissance,
which was the resurrection of
the buried learning of past
ages. The Knights Templar
distinctly contributed to this
triumph by the spiritual intel
ligence of their worldwide in
fluence and their valiant cham
pionship of the truths of the
gospel. Then one day Luther
unclaimed the Bible from it's
centuries of captivity and trans
lated it into the German YER
nacular, and in England Wye
kliffe and others set it circulat-
ing among the common people
there. The book of books be-
came and still is the sublime
text book of earth's universal
university. Soon in the heart
of it's devotees was born the
project of our public schools
that are making this the age of
universal intelligence. Statis-
tics show the area of a free Bible
corresponds to the area of abil-
ity to read and think, through
out the earth.
Another captivity for the
capture of which Christ 8 strug.
gle is still at it's height is social
captivity. The Knights Tenn
plar were among the pioneers
