FORMER DISPATCHER VISITING
w. He Hall of Wilmar Division Of
Greed, Northern Pays Call on
Friends Here.

W. n. Ball, former train dispatcher
on this division of the Great North
ern railway, but now holding a similar
position at Wilmar. Mimi. arrived in
the city this morning for a short visit
with friends. Mr.. Ball is we'll ac-
auainted in Grand Forks and is call
ing on his friends today. He was
sent from here to the other division
the first part of last September.
Mr.. Ball states that he is taking
his annual vacation and from here he
will go to Duluth and Winnipeg to
spend q couple Of weeks. He plans
to spend q short time at some lake
also.
In speaking of the crop conditions
MI. Bah said that in many places the
yields = very Disappointing, but on
the whole harvest will be a good one.
Farmers are cutting their grain in
many sections of Minnesota and North
Dakota, he states. :

bankers and business men Of the state
to accept the situation as 1t is and
conserve their cash resources for the
time being. Business conditions are
sound and the present trouble which
IL merely an interference with estab-
lished trade and commerce will right
itself as soon as normal trade condi-
tons are re-established.
Nothing to Fear.
Our food supplies will be needed
and eagerly, sought for by the foreign
countries in a. very short time, and we
have every reason to believe at such
prices as will bring handsome returns
to u producers. In the meantime
we have the assurance that our crop
movement will be financed without
h~indrance and with this credit assur-
ance WI have nothing to fear"
1t is significant that the Minneapo-
lis grain market have announced that
they will take carr Of the crop. now
being harvested. It would have been
a very serious matter to the state had
the Northwestern Grain Receivers as
ISOLATION followed the example Of. the
st. Louis association and refused to
do this. It means that the North Da-
kota farmers will be able to get all
the credit they need in moving their
crop.
Precautionary Measures.
The scrip issued by the local clear
ance house made its appearance yes
terday afternoon on the streets. It is
said that this is only a. precautionary
measure and that there Is more money
in the banks in the city now than at
any time in their history. The reason
for doing this Is to keep the European
powers and spectators from drawing
the gold from the United States to
Europe. There is already a high pre-
MUM m gold in Europe and 1t is a
big temptation to spectators to send
gold there.
Keep Gold Here.
The money Is needed throughout
the states and by the use of the
clearing house certificates it is hoped
to hold the gold here where it is need
ed. 1t Is said that the use Of the
scrip Is only temporary and hat as
soon as a part Of the emergency cur
rency issued by the government
reaches the city that the scrip will be
withdrawn.
There Is no need for worry in con-
nection with the issuance of the scrip
as every dollar of it Is backed by
double that amount Of good and ne
gotiable securities. They are abso-
lutely safe and are guaranteed by the
combined assets Of the members of
the Clearing House association.
