DELINQUENTs WILL
HAVE TO PAY UP

At a meeting Of the State Board
of University and Schoo ! Lands
held on Tuesday a resolution was
adopted directing the state land
to furnish list OF
the persons who are delinquent in
their interest payments on farm
loans for more than two years, to
the attorney general, who in turn
is directed to commence foreclosure
proceedings il the interest payments
are not made within thirty days.
The land commissioner was also
directed to give notice to all de-
.linquentss that the interest payments
on all state loans must be made be-
fore November i or a satisfactory
reason given for non-payment. The
records of the state department
show that there are a large number
of persons who have borrowed
money from the state on their lands
who have not paid the interest for
as much as six years. Inasmuch as
this money belongs to the state
school and institution funds, the
members Of. the board feel that 1t
is imperative that the delinquents
be brought to the point OF paying
the Interest when lis due, and
such will be the rule In the future.

den died last Sunday morning.
The cause of his death was heart
trouble and has Deen suffering
from the disease for more than four

at last was compelled to give them
up. He is survived by wife and
one boy. Mr.. Brenden was thirty
six years old at the time of his
death.

CORN PROGRESS DEPENDS
ON SEED SELECTION

Corn progress depends on seed
selection. Corn improvement is
carried from year to year in the
seed and the kind of seed selected
determines the kind of corn that
can be grown the next year. A
day spent in selecting seed corn now
may mean a good many more
bushels per acre next year and
better corn too. Corn that is ripe
now will be easier cured than corn
that ripens later as the weather
now is better drying weather and
rule, a person can select better seed
corn than he can buy. In fact. II
one could see some Of the seed
corn that is bought shelled before
it was shelled 1t would be easy to
see that If the person himself were
selecting 1t he would make good
deal better selection. S
The results secured with plant
ing any kind of seed corn should
not be taken as measure of what
can be done with corn. There IL
even more difference between diff
ferent kinds of corn and corn
grown in different sections than
there is between scrubs and the
different breeds of cattle. And
just as the breeder Of good cattle
selects every individual OF his
breeding stock so should the seed
corn be well selected each year.
What can be done with corn can
only be measured ny what we'll se--s
lected home grown seed corn will
do. q ri.
Governor Hanna has Designated
the week OF September 11th to 18th
as Seed Corn Week. At least one
day of the week should be set
aside for selecting and hanging up
OF the seed corn to dry.-NOrth

A .M|N0T ORAYnAN
OUT. UNDER BONDS.

Minot, N. D., sept. IA W
Trankla, q, local drayman, was
bound over to the county court to-
day in $1,000 bonds by Justice A..
B. Dill on a charge of receipting for.
shipments of Intoxicating liquors
for persons other than himself and
adult members Of his family. The
case is the first one brought under
tie provisions Of Chapter 1876 Of
the 1915 Session Laws. @s5j
The original records Of the 500.
railway show that Trankla received
and receipted for something like
$50 senarate. shipments of liquor
within space of .wo and a half
months, and that IN one of these
days he receipted ror even twenty
shipments. None or these ship
ments were consigned to himself or,
any member OF his family over the
age Of twenty-one years.
States Attorney %. B. Herigstad
has been looking into the matter for
some time and has discovered that
the parties to whom the liquor was
consigned were all nctitious. This
would constitute +. another ground
for prosecution under the law men
toned. but the officials preferred to
get after the delivery Of liquors to
blind pigs by draymen who have
been the go-betWeen. On the back
of the bills OF lading for the ship
ments are written instructions to
deliver the goods to. Trankla. Some
of these are 10 nearly alike;that an
expert wollld assert they were writ
ten by f6essanSs person. This#fea-
ture of the@aeMi isz not concerned in
the present Vase. Tgankla admits
that his signature to the receipts of
the: railroad are genuine, and this
is all the officials need to convict
except the fact that the parties for
whom he has receipted are not
members of his own family, q
thing not very hard to establish.
Trankla refused to disclose any
informat ton as to sthe consignees Of
the&sgoods he had delivered. He
stated that he did not know who
had given him the bills of lading or
where the liquor had been deliver
ed. The railroad records show.
however that the list of persons to
whom the liquor had been consign-
seQ, were peatGQ.lTeQueHIly uuIluS
the time in, which the shipments
were investigated,
States Attorney Herigstad stated
today that he intended to- rigidly
enforce theAprovisi ieIl 4 an
under which Eranhl was bound
over to the county court.
THAT policy" he said, will
compel every blind pigger to sign
for his own shipments of liquor
and it will put the information dir
ectly in our hands to catch those
who are receiving illegal shipments
of liquor. When che blind pigger
has to enter his name on the rail-
road records which are just as
available to the officers of the law
as to the railroads. they will see
that they are merely putting their
heads into the moose which we can
draw about their necks at will.
mean to enforce this provision to
the letter and draymen who desire
to keep out of trouble will not sign
for liquor shipments in violation of
its provisions.
