The school children in Kldder coun

Contest work. These have included
alfalfa, corn and potato growing, sew
ing and bread and butter making. In
the alfalfa contest each hoy or girl
was furnished a small package of seed
by the county superintendent o:
schools. Seventy qualified for tie
contest and had their patches judged
1t is difficult to estimate The boost
that these 70 patches will give alfalfa
growing. Most of the fathers of the
children having these patches are 60

as a result of the little patch and a
number of the neighbors have also
been convinced through the alfalfa
patch that it is the crop 10 grow.

MOVING PICTURES IN
CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL

Fargo, Nov 23.-Will c. Macdonald,
inspector of consolidated rural
schools, arrived in the city last night
from the northern part of the state.
Mr. Macdonald has visited schools in
Ramsey, Nelson and Towner counties
for the past two weeks and attended
several directors meetings. He says
he found one really up-to-date rural
School in Nelson county, school
where moving pictures were part of
the equipment.
Inspector Macdonald took exception
to the statements that have appeared
in a number of state papers in con-
nection with Appreciation week
booster editions, in which it is stated
that there are now 63 consolidated
schools in North Dakota. These fig-
ures were correct two years ago, but
today they are slightly misleading, to
say the least. AS matter Of fact.
the latest report by the inspector
shows that there are now 1872 such in
stitutions in the state, 80 in the grad
ed list and 50 in the high school class.

Of national defense and the subject OF

Legislative questions which the Presi

ing, and the unanimity of opinion was
reached by the official family as to
what is to be the general character of
the document. Reasons for strength.
ening the army and navy at this time
will be emphasized by the President.
"NationaI Defense" His Plea.
"For National Defense" will be the
keynote of his argument and, declar-
ing that the United States has a hui
manitarian mission of peace in the
world, he will insist that under pres.
ent conditions, when all Europe is at
war, the United States must be ready
to defend it's rights to independence
and unmolested action.
100000 Soldiers Wanted.
The contemplated army plan pro.
posed by Secretary Garrison was the
training of 100000 citizen soldiers in
the next three years, in annual con-
tingent of $4,000, is to be strongly
supported
Plans for Navy.
The navy plans also will be care
fully drawn up, after consultation
with experts and after taking notes of
the lesson taught so far by the Euro

REGIONAL BANK
WILL NOT CLOSE
Reports Emanating From Twin
Cities are Denied-No Foun-
datlOn to the kumOr.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 23.-There
is no official foundation rOr The re-
ports appearing in one OF yesterdays s
papers that the Ninth Federal Reserve
bank will be closed, and still less for
reports that it will be consolidated
with the Seventh Reserve 'Dank at
Chicago and Il branch of that bank
established in Minneapolis. | have
made no comment upon these reports
before, but believe that it is proper
TO say that the Ninth bank will con-
tnue its operations. just as it has
during the past year, without aban.
dOnment or consolidation.
Gossip the Source.
These reports probably originate
from gossip in unofficial quarters at
the national capital. The subject has
never been before the Federal Re
serve Board or any of it's committees.
If it has been mentioned at all, it has
been by individuals. and such mention
has not more seriousness than any
other personal comment.
Wisconsin Case Pending.
The Wisconsin bank case, involving
changes in the southeastern bound
aries of the Ninth distric:. IS not ye,
decided MY impression is that no
change will I5e made. This, SO far as
know. is the only point on which
reports Of this character could find
basis.
Bank Business Improving.
The business OF this bank has been
steadily improving for many months.
It is making it's expenses and a rea-
sonable margin Of profit in addition
It's showing as compared with reserve
banks outside the cotton territory in
the south. is very good It is doing
exactly what it was established for.
and the federal reserve board has
never shown any disposition to criti-
cize it, nor has it at any time sug-
gested any changes in it's policy. We
believe its course has the full approx
al of the board in Washington, the
member banks. and the public in this
district. Under these conditions. re-
ports of changes. closing the bank, or
consolidating it with the Chicago
bank. serve only to create misappre.
