Fargo Courier News: II believe if

thoroughly the agricultural college;

sion. and l am inclined to think that

trict in Grand Forks spoke very con-
cisely to the Courier-News. He was

route.
Il do not think North Oak ota needs
many more laws just now." said Mr..
Dean. I'VE have, a good many on our
statute books, but we need careful,
adjustment of the expenditures of the
state. That's why l am inclined to
thlnk that the board of control idea
would work we'll: it ought to econo-
m1ze and unity our educational en-
penditures."
Mr.. Dean is a farmer and familiar =
with the needs Of the agricultural
folks. He feels that the AGRICULTURAL
college is extremely important and
that it ought to be run in the inter-
est of actually developing the farm
ers and agricultural resources of the
state. He was expecting q conference
with President Worst while in the

into the loan office and jewelry store
of H. Cohen. III DcMcrs avenue,
shortly after 80 o'clock this morn

The policeman was walking his beat
in the usual manner when he heard
noise in the rear of the store. Co.
ing through the alley in the direction
of the rear door he heard the sounds
Of running feet but by the time he
reached the scene. the would-be burg
lars had disappeared.
On making an investigation it was
found that an attempt had been made
to force the door with a Jimmy" and
this article and long thin bar of

to the door.
Scars on the wood work showed
where the attempt had been made to
force an entrance.
