THE LAR|M0RE
farmers CLUB

The farmers and business men of
Larimore have a club organization
that meets every week during the
club is the study of farm topics and
all problems that pertain to the bet
terment of the farm home. Supt.
Hess of the city schools acts as lead
Ter. Out of town speakers are secur-
ed from time to time. On Feb. 18th
Prof. w. c. Palmer, of the Depart
ment of College Extension, Agricul-
tural College, addressed the club on
the subject of "Clover Growing and
Crop Rotation"
Mr. Palmer stated that clover can
be, and is being grown with success
in many parts of the state. He said
it is necessary to have clover germs
in the soil, that failures are in very
many cases due to the absence of
these germs. The best way to sup.
ply them is to get soil from a field
that has grown clover successfully
and SOW this soil over the field seed
ed to clover. The inoculated soil
should be applied at the rate of 100
to 200 pounds per acre, and thor
oughly narrowed in. Glover should
always be seeded on fall blowing
we'll worked up in the spring. Bar
ley makes the best nurse crop, oats
the poorest. In the dryer parts Of
the state it does best without a nurse
crop. A top dressing of manure is
always beneficial in getting a stand.
On land that has never produced
clover it is a good idea to SOW an
extra amount of seed, say fifteen
pounds per acre. Glover is one of
the best land improving crops that
can be grown.
The Larimore club is a decided
success. 1t is creating a large and
lively interest in agricultural mat
ters at Larimore and attracting not
little comment from outside. The
Agricultural College stands ready to
lend a helping hand to any commun-
ity starting a similar work.

LAk0IA BANK
Cleaned OUT
CASHIER FLOREN HAD MATTERS
ALL TO HIMSELF FOR SOME
TIME.
President Was In I'll Health and
Trusted Man Whom He Had Be-
friendod - Banks Deposits Amount
to About One Hundred and Thirty
Thousand Dollars.

The story Of the looting OF the
PEOPLES State Bank at Lakota, N.
D., the doors Of which are now clos
ed and the president and cashier of
which are charged with forgery in
the Justification Of reports to the
state bank examiner is one Of the
most interesting ever written in
North Dakota's banking history. Re-
luctant even now to give out the de-
tails of how the institution was rob-
bed of over $4,000, the state Off.
Gals are still engaged in examining
the books Of the bank and it will be
several days before it is known just
what the conditions are, and what
the depositors may expect to re-
cover.
1t is to S. A. Florcn, cashier of the
defunct institution, that the failure
is charged. His personal career has
been an interesting one. Entering
the institution some thirteen years
ago in a position which commanded
Il Sdldly Ol pI0 Il IllOllll, lie Idpluly
rose to that Of cashier When Pres
ident F. H. Rhaders became i'll some
time ago, the banks affairs were
turned over to Floren's direction.
Mr. Rhaders, according to a state.
ment made by him was not in the
least bit familiar with the banks
business, having been unable to act
actively for some time Floren came
to Lakota originally from Minneap-
oils and his wife IS now seriously i'll
in hospital in that city.
The system by which Floren looted
the bank is somewhat out of the or
binary. 1t was in the bills receiv-
able department that the fraud seems
to have been perpetrated, and which
the cashier was enabled to keep up
in such good condition as to set
aside all suspicious the state bank
examiners might have had as to the
real conditions.
Notes given the bank for various
amounts would be sent by Floren to
one of its correspondent banks in
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-02-11

the east. Later, when the time for
the payment of the note arrived,
Floren would receive the cash from
the maker of the note and with some
excuse or other would prevail on
the maker of the note to let 1t re-
main with him. The money thus
realized would not be sent to the
correspondent bank, but the note
would still be allowed to remain
there, and in the reports to the bank
examiner it would be reported as
among bills receivable, when. as a
matter of fact, it was already paid.
Should the maker of the note insist
upon the return of the paper to him,
Floren secured it through the plac-
ing of an "accomm odation" note, of
which he is said to have secured
quite number.
In addition to the irregularities
existing in the bills receivable de-
partment, there are also great
many other irregularities upon the
books and it will take some time to
straighten them all out.
The banks deposits amount to
about $4,000, the greatest portion
of which were owned by farmers re-
siding near Lakota. The depositors
will hold meeting to consider any
action that might be deemed adVis-
able The banks assets, as near as
can be learned at present, are about
$4,000. Deputy Bank Examiner
Fahey is now in charge of the bank
while Bank Examiner Knudson is
comforting with the attorney general
and banking board as to the course
Of action advisable. Application
will be made this week before Judge
Templeton for the appointment of
a receiver.
President Rhaders and Cashier
F'loren have both turned over their
property to the bank examiner. The
latter has not turned his entire hold
ings over, but it is understood that
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-02-11

he will do so very soon. President
Rhaders, when interviewed would
give no statement concerning the
situation, stating that he was not
familiar enough with it to do so.
Floren for some time has been liv:
ing very recklessly. His expenses
have been enormous, every luxury
of life being at his command. Re-
Gently he was convicted in federal
court at Fargo on charge of send
ing obscene matter through the
United States mails, and he is now
under a bond Of $4,000 pending the
appeal to the circuit court of ap-
peals. Judge Amidon, when Floren
was found guilty, gave him Jail
sentence and a fine. 1t was this af-
fair that resulted in the closing of
the bank.

ON CHARGE
OF SELLING U. 8. LAND

Determined to stop the illegal sale
of public land which is said to have
been carried ON to some extent in
Weld county. officials OF the land
department of the United States
have for some months been investi-
eating the case of Bruce Bowles near
Keenesburg. who Ia alleged to have
sold quarter section of land there.
belonging to the government, 10
Pink Murray for the sum OF $500.
He was arrested yesterday by Dep
uty Sheriff Peterson and taken be-
fore Justice PRESLEY. He pleaded
not guilty and he was bound over to
the district court in the sum OF
$500. His trial was set for July %.
The government officials decided
that the case was one for the county
authorities to handle and hence q
warrant was sw worn out against him
here. 1t Is stated that Bowles. who
is a horse trader. likewise sold q
quarter section OF government land
to Murray's brother.
It is claimed that he stated he
could obtain a REIMBURSEMENT OF the
land which he stated was owned by
a friend, for the sum of $500. This
was paid In horses and farm imple-
ments. Suspecting that there was
some hitch Murray consulted an
attorney and Bowles arrest follow
ed. Bowles ia well known about
Weld county as horse trader and
has been in the country for some
time.
There are other cases Of . simi-
lar nature which have been called
to the notice of the authorities and
1t IL stated that there will probably
be several other prosecutions OF
those who are alleged to have taken
It upon themselves to dispose Of the
government lands.
