CALVIN.

The voting contest to boost the clrcu-
lation of the Calvin Times closes next
month. Two Calyin girls, Miss Nellie
Clellon and Miss Grace O'Neale have a
big lead over seven other contestants in
the race for the four big prizes offered.
Calvin lost closely played abasket
ball game to Edmore last week in which
the high schools Of the two towns
furnished the teams, the score at the
close being 10 to IL. Calvin expects to
capture the return game to be played
soon at Edmore.

received a fine registered China boar

danger of the government sustaining
great losses, as intimated, by reason of
checks not being cleared promptly.
Secretary MacNeagh's order No. 5 speci-
hcally states that all banks receiving
checks must use the same judg-
ment and discretion they do in handling
commercial checks. The banks all
understand this, and in addition to this
the Office has prepared Instructions
which have been sent to all the banks,
specifically stating that will not be paid
unless the instructions in regard to en-
dorsements are followed. The pension
checks have instructions prepared by
the secretary of the interior printed on
their backs. There would be little dan
ger of a loss without these instructions,
for the banks and the sub-treasuries
would not pay said checks unless the
parties presenting them were identified
by some one known to the bank or to
the employe in the sub-treasury. If
any bank should pay check without
such precautlon, it deserves to lose the
amount. If it takes the precaution, it
is itself guaranteed from loss by the
persons identifying the payee of the
check.
The representatives of the treasury
endeavored to present the condition of
the office to the committee on appro-
priations so that the committee might
understand the exact condition and
know why the treasurer was asking for
an increased appropriation. Fearing
that we did not make it clear, we invite
a personal inspection by the committee
into the condition of the United States
treasury, and so far as congressional in
vestigation is concerned, we invite it,
We did not put this new system in; It
is condition under which we have
labored since the beginning of the ad-
ministration: 1T is system which we
believe facilitates public business. II
it is to be retained, we want sufficient
number Of employees to keep the work
current. Inc employees have during
the summer worked overtime and after
hours, and some Of them have been
denied the vacation to which they were

approval of congress, congress WILL oil

BURKE MAKES
ABLE DEFENSE
Ex-Gov. Burke Shows Conditions
in U. S. Treasury Result of
Predecessors Action.

Defending his conduct of the office
of United States treasurer against
charges which have recently appeared
N certain newspapers, John Burke,
formerly governor of North Dakota,
declares that the conditions complained
of are due to new system of account
Ing installed under the last admins
tratlon. without at the same time
providing clerical force sufficient to
care for the increased work:
YES | read the articles in Tha Wash
ington Evening Times and The New
York Tribune in reference to the cond1-
tion of the United States treasury, and
| am surprised that such reports were
printed without an investigation at the
treasury.
1t is published as something new, and
great disclosures are to be made on
account of secret investigation, when,
as a matter of fact, the general public
has known ever since former Secretary
MacVeagh put in the new system of
accounting on Feb. / laet, that the ln-
creased work on account of such system
could not be done by the employees in
the treasury.
This new system was put in on Feb
l, 1913, and congress in the appropriation
act passed March 1918, approved the
same by providing nat the secretary oi
the treasury might transfer from the
, sub-treasuries to the treasury employees
to 90 the extra work imposed by the
t new system. Under the new system
/ the United States treasury is made

their destination hnn the farming
people will seek the great rrain,belt
Of the Northwest. Those people
are the ones we want. They will
help build up an already rapidly
growing country. They will come
as surely as the sun moves from east
to west. They will be forced out by
war-debt taxes.
And there will be another great
reason for this immigration. Take,
for instance. the citizens Of con.
quered country. With the bitter
national partisanships which are be.
ing continually demonstrated across
the water. how many hundreds Of
the conquered will seek the first op.

country to make their homes? How
many will refuse to bow to the rule
of the victor? And with the ma
tions now at war tile people Of any
of them will he welcome settlers for

the county and the wheat prospects
are as good as could be expected.
Unless some Of the late sown grain
may be excepted, the crop this year
will average we'll with those of 9TH
er years. The extremely hot
weather through July has injured
the yield to some extent, the small
grains being more or less shrunken.
However. the high price of wheat
Ithis TALL will make the net profits of
1.-THE farmer greater than bumper
crop in an average year. Local far
mers have brought samples of their
grain to town, and, while they we're
not excellent, they were better than
samples sent from the eastern mar
ket Of grain selling within six cents
of September wheat. Practically
all the wheat in the county will
bring from ninety cents to dollar,
at least. Now the corn and flax
crops are to he assured. With beef
and pork prices we'll up and a record
market for grain. there isn't much
chance for this country to suffer.
And that is not all: Crop failures
are common in all the other wheat
producing regions of the world. Eu-
ropes crop is badly demoralized by
the war South America is short
and the great Canadian Northwest
is burnt cinder. The writer is in
touch with several claim holders in
various parts of Canada. Their re.
ports are all alike Not even
enough of yield to pay for thrash
ing. Seed gone. labor lost and no
work in sight to keep the wolf frum
the door this winter. The govern.
ment will be called upon to furnish
relief from settlers or there will be
no settlers when the winter is over.
War prices will obtain, to a greater
or less extent all over the world if
the European scraps keep on for any
length of time. But the North Da-
kota farmer will be the one indie
pendent citizen of this or any other
country. Raising as he does the
principal components of his susie
nance, food prices will be second
airy matter with him. And all the
time his products will be going at
top-notch. Money should flow
freely.
Another thing: The tine will
come when the Northwest will be
flooded with honeseektrs of the best
class from the unfortunate Euro
pean countries. The immigration
from the very countries now at war
has always been heavy owing to the
crowded conditions and the exh0rb-
liant military tax at hnme. Many
of those countries are to be brought
to the point of breaking ere the
present trouble is settled. Who will
there be among the poorer classes
that will be able to stand the added
burden of the greut war debts when
peace comes again? Hundreds of
them will not try. They will seek a
new country where prosperity
reigns supreme. America will be

as far as the general run of foreign
advertising is concerned.
Some months ago the Record re-
ceived from concern purporting to
be the Mercantile Publicity Com
pany of DAYTON, Ohio, a letter in
which was enclosed proof-sheet of
six advertisements the company de-
sired run for an extended period in
the Record. The nature of the ad-
vertising and the lax manner of de-
termining its cost aroused the sus-
plcions of the writer as to the genu-
ineness of the matters advertised or
the concern promoting the scheme.
We finally decided TO write the Day.
ton outfit further before accepting
the advertising. In the first letter
we were told to publish all the ads
for which copy was enclosed, charg-
ing whatever our regular price
might be and that should such price
fail to be satisfactory, our bill
would be paid and contract cancelled.
We wrote to the effect that three of
the ads we would not accept al all
and the other three would be accept
ed upon proof that payment would
be forthcoming. In answer to, that
letter we received another stating
that certain Ohio state laws govern
ing corporations prevented them
from complying with our request.
Their copy and correspondence was
thereupon confined to the waste
basket. However, some of our
neighhoring publishers were less
fortunate. For months the Hazel
ton Republican carried the entire
series of ads, also the Herreid Pic
ayune, just across the South DAKOTA
line. Results have proven the wis.,
dom of our action in confirming the
stuff to the ,waste-basket. A few
weeks ago the officials Of the Mer-
camille Publicity Company were
nabbed by government authorities
and proved TO be bunco.steerers of
first water and that all who carried
their advertising were 'stung."
These ads were quite lengthy and
during the time of the primary cam
paigR would have taken up space
most valuable. Further, they
would have nisied persons who con-
5fded in them.
Al that, it ism t always possible to-
perceive at a glance the bnnco pro-
positions. The writer has since.
been led into running q short notice
for several weeks for one John
Keefe supposed TO be q locator of
Oregon lands. He. too, is a anide
and has been nailed by the gov.
eminent. The amount involved, ].
however. u only nominal. Many
more Of the conservative papers of.
the state were taken in'' on the
Keefe proposition than by the Mer-
camille Publicity outfit.
