AN APPROPRIATION FOR sEEI,
WHEAT

The board of county of commits
sioners met Tuesday in special ses-
sion and after considering at length
the matter of advancing seed wheat
to farmers decided not to issue bonds
for that purpose. The law gives the
county commissioners authority to
issue bonds to the amount of the en-
tire security offered by the county,
If such action was deemed advisable
but the board decided that it would
appropriate $4,000 from the general
fund, all which the law allows for
this purpose, out side of bonding.
There are quite a number of appli-
cations on file for seed wheat loans
by the county, and the amount ap-
propriated will of course not be suf-
ficient to go around. It is said that
about forty applications for seed
wheat are before the board.

STILL UTTERtNG CHECKS
Smooth Swindler Still Victimizing
Music Stores. More Bogus
Checks

The smooth swindler who gave a
check for $500 to Bismarck music
house for the price of Victrola and
other goods and received a check in
return for the change, which check
he cashed and disappeared, has been
working the racket successfully all
the way to Los Angeles, Cal. At
Bismarck he got the music firms
check for about $45. The bogus
check given by the swindler was on
the James River National Bank,
jamestown. His favorite sum to
write in the check is 5000 and in
every instance music firms have been
his victims. He played the game at
Portland, Roseberg and Medford,
Oregon, Spokane, WASH, Oakland,
San Francisco and Los Angeles, Cal.
Some @of the checks we're written on
the typewriter and one or two have
been drawn on the First National
Bank Of Bismarck. He uses pro-
tectograph. The last check received
drawn on the James River Bank, had
notation "land fund.-" Different
names are signed to checks in diff
ferent places. The name used in
Bismarck was Ed Clements, Sr.
Other names such as Robert Edwards
and Geo. c. Becker have been used.
The bankers Association of North Da-
kota is in hopes of catching the for
ger whose whereabouts is believed
now to be known.
His scheme is to buy from store
musical goods to the amount Of some
thing less than $500 and offer in pay
ment a check with instructions to de-
liver the goods at his hotel when the
firm found the check good. The
firms victimized appear to have given
the crook money or checks for the
difference between the $500 bogus
check and the purchase price of the
goods after which the party disap-
pears.

BATTERY A MUSTERED OUT
Company. Inspection Of State
Militia

Dakota guard, has issued special or
der No. 6 and general order No. Z,
mastering out Battery A, field ar
tillery, of Lisbon, and Offering the
establishment of detachment of the
hospital corps at that station.
The members of the national
guard of the state have been expect
ing these orders for some time past.
Under the requirements of the war
department and the regulations gov
'erning the organization Of a battery
of field artillery of the present day,
it is practically impossible for a state
as small as North Dakota to support
Ia battery. Hence it is mustered out.
The battery has, always been a
source of pride to the citizens of the
state. 1t became part of the Mill
|tary in early territory days and has
done excellent service. The names
|of many of the best citizens of the
state are associated with it's history
and traditions. It is with a feeling
|of profound regret that the officers
|of the North Dakota National Guard
receive the order, but the require
Iments of the war department leave no
alternative. The muster out is to
occur, prior to March 1.
The battery only recently dedicated
a magnificent new armory at Lisbon.
and in order to protect the business
men of Lisbon who have assisted in
the erection of this building, the hos
|pital corps will have the use of tho
|armory.
The annual inspection of the nat
ional guard of the state will begin
lin March.

A National Party.
From the Forum.

From the Forum.
1t is too early to suggest that party
government is outmoded; for the spir-
it of partisanship is tenacious and the
majority Of men will still continue to
attach themselves, ignorantly or de-
terminedly, by chance or choice, to
one of the greater political organiza-
tions. But it is not too early to sug-
gest that parties are means, not an
end; that the object of their existence
is supposed to be the welfare of the
nation, not the exploitation of private
interests. Patriotism and civic duty
are rightly inculcated in our schools; !;
they are scarcely conspicuous in the
actual administration of affairs-mu-
nicipal, state or federal. Government
OF the people by party seems but a
travesty of democracy-unless the
party is justly entitled to use the pre-
fix national" Perhaps the time is
not far distant when such a party, bas.
ed on a coalition of the sincere and
far sighted, will change the whole out
look and spirit of politics in this coun-
try.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Washington.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The only two secular holidays that
are generally observed throughout
the entire country are the 22nd day
of February, Washington's birthday
and the Fourth of July. In some of
the states Lincoln's birthday is legal
holiday. In other states Lees birth
day is observed as holiday. But if
the question were asked in any Or
dinary assemblage of people what is
Lincoln's birthday or what is Lees
birthday it is not probable that every
body could give a correct answer.
On the other hand, every schoolboy
and schoolgirl in the land can tell
the date of Washington's birth with
out a moments hesitation. The 22d
of February is legal holiday, we be-
lieve, in every state in the union. But
the observance of the day does not
rest on legal enactment. 1t was gen
eral throughout the land before any
law with regard to it was enacted. It
began in fact, during Washington's
life time, the first public celebration
being by party of gentlemen at a
banquet at Fraunce's Tavern, New
York, February %. 1888. At that ban
quet it was resolved to have an an
nual celebration, and the custom
spread rapidly throughout the land.
All through Washington's two admin
istrations, except on one occasion, it
was the custom of congress to adjourn
fop ch Noh ~
order that the members might have
opportunity to call on the president
and congratulate him.
