The oid Biblical philosopher OBJ
serving the artistic efforts of mankind
noted that even the wayside wild
flowers had form and coloring, had
the charm for the human mind more
glorious than the initiative efforts by

tUre Up to date one should consider
the winged creatures of nature in
comparison with what man has
wrought in the flying business after
centuries of effort.
1t is magnificent and inspiring spec
tacle to see St. Henry soaring thru
the air in an aeroplane, but consider

the concerted effort of nearly every
member, divided into five committees,
the entire city was canvassed for new
members. About seventy-five new
members were secured that day VIII ch
includes nearly all of the prominent
business and professional men. AS
special inducement, the initiation
fee was reduced somewhat and If
enough members can be secured by
fall, it is hoped that the dues can be
cut from two dollars to one dollar a
month. The committees report very
few failures and practically everybody
canvassed either came thru, or prom
ised to do 50 within very short time.
The Minot Commercial club is a
power for good. Our old town would

man who wants to put his shoulders
to the wheel to join the organization.
If the club has not been run to suit
you perfectly in the past, take hold
and help run it. There Is plenty Of

COMPLICATION ARISE
FROM NEW LAW

A new law which went into effect
July !, S trying the patience of every
county auditor in the state. Ac-
cordihg to the law, every fund must
be given it's pro ratio share Of the
interest and penalty collected from
over due taxes. There are so many
funds to be considered, that this
makes an unlimited amount of book
keeTing.- For instance, there are the
township, general, road and bridge
and sinking funds; the sinking fund
FOR the school and all of the county
funds, besides seven or eight state
funds. The law could just as we'll as
provided that the money be divided
into townships, county and state gen
eral funds saving much difficult work.

BOUNTY LAW

About ten per cent of the farmers
have taken advantage of the tree
bounty law, and each year are allow
ed som ething on their real estate
taxes According to the law, the
bounty must not exceed the amount
OF the taxes. Some farmers receive
a bounty of as much as s12 each year,
but Sind it necessary to make appli-
eaton each year. The chances are
that. at the next session of the legis-
1ature, this law will be repealed, as
there was some talk of doing 50 at

ROBIN ASSOCIATE
William L. Brewer, Arraigned on
Perjury Charge, Is Re-
leased on Bail.

william L. Brewer, of SO Arlington
for perjury before Judge Swami, In the
Court of General Sessions in New York
yesterday. in connection with the al
legged footing of the Northern Bank, of
New York, by Joseph 9. Robin, refused
to discuss the matter at his home. A
maid met the reporter at the door n
said Mr.. Brewer had nothin to say.
Mr.. Brewer was formerly v~ice-presi=
dent of tbs bank. which was closed re-
Gently by the New York State Banking
Department. Mr.. Brewer was released
on 49, 900 bail.
The alleged perjury upon which the
charge is based followed the order of
the superintendent of the New York
State banking institutions in Septem-
Der last, that all State banks should
report and liabilities as they
stood at the close of business on August
81 last. The report made by the North
ern Bank was verified by Brewer, and
among the items is alleged that there
was a false statement of the aggregate
amount of specie, legal tender and ma
tional bank notes on hand. 1t is al
legged that the amount declared on hand
was $949, 405.09. In reality there was
only 1898, 1874. The difference, 1T is
alleged, represented a long-overdue
check drawn by the Bankers Realty
and Security Company, a corporation
controlled by Robin, who, it Is declared,
ordered the amount carried as cash. =.
