Dakota Improvement Company indicat-
es that some steps must be taken soon
by the contract holders to conserve
their interests. This case has been
pending in the courts for some time
and something must be done without
further delay. There is now mo-
tion pending for the purpose of author
izing the Receiver, NJ. A. Baldwin, to
sell the assets of the company at pri-
vate sale. At the first hearing on said
motion there were twenty-eight con-
tract holders from Hillsboro, Buxton,
Cummings, and other nearby points,
protesting against the sale.
1t seems very strange that the Re-
ceiver should ask the Court for an ord
er of this kind when his statement
shows the net earnings to be over
$4,000 a year.
An affidavit by one of the contract
holders was filed for the purpose of
obtaining continuance of the hear
ing on said motion of the receiver for
an order to sell assets of said COM
pany, which affidavit states among
other things, that the interests of
said M. A. Baldwin in the defendant
company are necessarily adverse to the
interests of that contract holders
therein; that said adverse interests
are portrayed in every move of said
receiver since his appointment"
Resolved, that each and every con-
tract holder use his best efforts to
have every other contract hold
er attend the meeting at Fargo, on
Dec. 10th, at the court house, at 1000
a. H.; that inasmuch as the claim of
the contract holder is a prior claim
upon the assests of the company, any
contract holder who is unable to at
tend the meeting Dec. 10th, should
give his proxy to a contract holder
who would conserve his interests.

In the matter of the ReceivershiI
of the North Dakota Investment Dom
pany.
NJ. A. Baldwin, Receiver
Dear Sir:-In my judgement the
time has come when the contract
holders ought to be called together
for consultation with reference to the
properties owned by the Improvement
Company. Much, if not all of it, is
encountered, the obligations are fall
ing due and much be met. Some pro-
visions will have to be made, either
for the continuance of the property
in the hands Of a receiver, or for a
sale, From communications received
am satisfied that the contract hold
ers, if a sufficient numbar could be
gotten together would be aD;e 10 hit
upon some plan for taking over these
properties, thus producing to the es-
tate the largest amount possible for
distribution among those entitled
thereto. l have heretofore appointed

THE BLIZZARD" 1915
WILL Be A HUMMER

This blizzard is not the kind that is
peculiar to North Dakota which
freezes and kills man but is an honest
endeavor to portray the student life
at the Valley City State Normal
School. The book has a picture OF
each member of the faculty and the
graduates and group pictures of all
the student classes. This publication
is put out by the Senior class and is
the only publication that is managed
entirely by the students. The annual
will come out in May.
Everybody in Valley City hears and
reads about our State Normal school
but few know the school as it really
is, who the students are, where they
come from, and the student and facul-
ty activity. A book of this kind brings
out just these points and gives its
reader real pictures of life and work
Of school. This being the twenty.
fifth anniversary of the school, the
Blizzard 1915 will be an anniversary
book. This will be a great year OF
the Normal school and the general
public should become acquainted with
the school. The book will be bound
with leatherette cover and the sell
ing price of the Annual will be one
dollar and half with fifty cents Of
this deposited with the order. Please
send your order and deposit in I'm
mediately to the managing editor
Lawrence Bohnhoff, or to the sub
scription manager, o. M. Johnson
State Normal, Valley City. The sub
scription taken now will decide how
many books will be printed.

WORK AMONG POOR
IS SYSTEMAT|zED
COOPERATION OF ALL SOCIETIES
FOR CHARITY WORK MADE IN
COUNCIL BLUFFS.

Council Bluffs, Jan. 14-At a meet
ing of the representatives of the vari
Gus bodies which do charitable work
in the city. held recently, a formal
plan Of federation was adopted. Fol
some months the work Of these organ
| izations has been carried on through
! a central office.
, Mayor Maloney was present and
stated that he was satisfied that the
plan was going to simplify and improve
| the work of caring for the needs OF
the poor in the city. This work was
more successfully handled during the
recent holidays through this central
office than ever before. Much con.
fusion and duplication had been cut
out as a result of the cooperation
which had been secured through this
, federation.
, In the reports of the various charity
| workers it was made very clear that
the problems in Council Bluffs are
! first and foremost, there are a great
many mposters-people who seek
| charity not as necessity, but as a
| business.
Mayor Maloney gave one instance
wherein Uc udu DCeI tOuSAcu w q
colored man for so cents on a plea that
his wife was dead and he was trying
to collect little fund to give her de-
cent intermeut They mayor learned
the next day that the lady in the case
was the most robust looking specimen
of her race in the city. One woman
called for a charity dinner on Christ.
mas and then later reported that she
had not received it. An Investigator
found that the goods had been prop
erly delivered as per order.
In many other cases it is difficult to
secure the kind of help needed. The
county, for instance, prescribes a fixed
ration for poor people. There are some
cases Of illness where this ration can
not be used. 1t is forbidden to ex-
change goods. Mrs. Johnson has case
where the husband in the family is i'll
! with cancer Of the stomach. He cannot
use fat side pork and beans. He needs
;; milk and eggs.
Another case was reported OF a
, woman and children destitute and the
husband in Jail. The offense in this
case was fragrant and the offender one
of the repeating kind. The city is
feeding the husband in idleness and
charity must take care of the family.
The effort in this federation is to
systematic charity work to the end
that so far as possible impostions be
cut cut, and the worthy poor helped as
their needs and merits warrant, and
! that those who want work rather than
CHARITY he helned in this direction.

expressed themselves as heartily in
favor of the project, but fearful that
the general public might fail to see
the advantage and fail to vote on the
proposition. Members of the legal fra
ternlty present pointed out the need,
under a law passed by the last gen
eral assembly, for an affirmative vote
by majority of the citizens who
voted at the last general election.
Under this law, it is apparent that fail
ule to vote for the bond issue is
equivalent to voting against 1t. Mr..
Hartman, Mayor Leeny and Mr.. Girls
man expressed confidence that the
general public would not fail to sup
port the measure, but others were
Skeptical unless means were employed
to get the proposition more closely to
the people.
1t was finally decided to select an
executive committee of two men from
each ward to work with Senator Wa
terman in directing campaign for in
teresting the great body Of voters of
the city in the project. This commit
tee will be empowered to name sub
committees and these will endeavor to
take the matter up personally with the
various individual voters who may de-
sire more information on the proposed
bond issue and improvement.
No pains will be spared in the effort
to convince the voters that it will be
to their advantage to actively support
the project.
