GOOD ADVICE.

Minot Reporter: The ease with
which the people of North Dakota can
recuperate after a financial setback is
a marvel to all observers. There is
really no part of the whole globe
which has the chance for the poor
ma that we have here. There is no
part of the country where we can get
our feet as quickly after we have
been felled to the floor. Our resources
are as yet practically untouched, and
our people are just beginning to real
lie what an immense opportunity for
growth and enrichment we have.
All this tends to make us free with
our money when we have it to spend.
1t makes the country what is called a
good country. Good to do business
1n' good to live in, good to work in,
and good to accumulate a competency
In the meantime we must bear in
mind the fact that we cannot eat our
cake and have it too. A certain amount
of the profit Of the next few a
must be put away for the time when
we will need it in old age. For u
community, which is now a youth
among youths will grow old and staid
and conservative as time passes away.
It will fill with people, there will not
be as much and to go round as there
is now. There will not be as much
work to do and the comparative re-
turns will not be as great. While the
values of the community at large are
increasing we must take care that each
gets his share of the increase saathat
In old age We may have sonas the
creature comforts of life and not have
to sit and say IF 1 had only saved
when I could
And this applies to communities as
well as to individuals.

ACCUSED BY
HIS ENEMIES
VAIL is FREED BY OFFICERS
WHO BELIEVE HE WAS VIC
TIM OF PLOT.

Bismarck, N. d., May 18.-Joseph
Wahl OF Battle Lake, Mimi, was de-
clared to be the victim of enemies
when his preliminary hearing on the
charge of stealing $40 in diamonds
and money from Charles Mason, a
brother guard at the state peniten-
tiary, was held here yesterday.
Wahi from an excellent fam
lily and has TWO brothers who are min
listers. He came to North Dakota
several a ago and was a guard at
the hospital for the insane at James,
town, and served as a member Of the
Bismarck police force.
He recently returned to the peniten-
tiary as a guard and it is said enmity
arose between him and the other
guards. 1t is generally believed he
was the victim of Of his enemies
who attempted to railroad him to pris-
on. When Mason missed the diamonds
and police were looking for a clue
they searched Wahl and found the
gems on his person.
Although the evidence vas seeming
~ conclusive against him, the author
tiles decided there was a strong prob
ability of spitework in the case and he
was given his liberty.
Swearing over a telephone line is
just plain profanity and is illegal.

RECEIVER FOR
INTERNATIONAL
INSURANCE CONCERN ON FINAN.
ciAl ROCKS IN INDIANA.
Has Many Stockholders in West vir.
sinia and Eastern Ohio.

Another chapter in the career OF
the International Securities Company.
that has quite large stockholders in
Wheeling and vicinity and in Eastern
Ohio. has just been chronicled in the
March report Of the insurance depart
ment. OF the State Auditors ONCE.
The new development is the naming
OF a receiver for the concern. and in
the section OF the report relating to It
Mr.. Darst says:
international Securities Company.
1t has come to the knowledge of this
office from presumably authentic
sources that receiver has been ap-
pointed In Indiana for the Information
al Securities Company
The Company is still painfully re-
membered by many OF our citizens.
IL was organized under the laws Of
Maine for the purpose of promoting
insurance companies. and established
headquarters In Wheeling about three
years ago. The promotion was 10 a
great extent controlled by profess
ionals whose only interest in the
Company was the opportunity II gave
for plumber.
1t may be remembered that this
Department attempted to make an ex.
animation of the Company, but could
do nothing in the face Of their re-
fusal because our laws did not give us
the right TO act as II was not an in
surance company and we were forced
tn remain inactive while our people
were being swindled on every hand.
We OF course issued warnings through
our bulletin. but that little voice un-
fortunately did not reach everyone
and many OF those who heard IL were
still unable to resist the siren notes
OF those expert gold brick statesmen
who peddled this stock.
The Company is said to have col.
lected S794.000 for sale of stock. OF
this amount s1S1.OO0 went for COM
missions and s247.OOO for "organiza.
ton" expenses. The only thing they
ever did for their stockholders. that
we know of. was to purchase an inter.

the Majestic of Indianapolis.
TO those familiar with PROPOSE
lions OF this kind. this is the same old
story with the same old finish. Just
one more example of the stock selling
method OF separating people from
their money.
we hope some day to have a law
that will give us the power to deal
with companies of this kind. In the
meantime. bear in mind that it is sci
dom necessary to force good stock
on the public. Be very skep;ical.
