Are
Kindly to This City
If They Are Not In

Pleading advantages of their respec-
tivev cities for location of federal land
loan bank, representatives OF Fargo,
M1not, Bismarck and Grand Forks,
went before that board here today. The
full board, with the exception of VIM.
G. McAdoo, secretary Of the treasury,
was present, the hearing being held in
the federal building.
Three proposed groupings-one in
Guiding Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, and Montana, advocated by
Fargo; one consisting Of North and
South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming,
advanced by Bismarck and Minot, and
another including North and South
Dakota with Minnesota and Wisconsin.
advocated by Grand Forks, were laid
before the board.
Representatives of Bismarck, Minot
and Grand Forks, all expressed them
selves favorably to the location of the
bank within the state. and indicated
that Fargo was their second choice.
For Fargo, plea was made that this
city is center Of Spring wheat" area; /;
that products in four states proposed
are very similar; that rural needs are
almost identical: that land values run
very much the same, and that oppor-
tunities for handling business, are
best here.
Bismarck and Minot both advanced
the theory that they are in the center of
rapidly developing areas where de-
mand for farm loans will be increas-
ingly great.
Grand Forks representatives gave lit
tie attention to the question of location
Of bank itself, declaring, however, in
favor of linking this state with states
lying to the east. The Grand Forks rep
resentatives contended that the ad
vantage to the land owners in being
linked with Minnesota, Wisconsin, or
Iowa, are great, in that it would put
the farm properties in this state on
about the same basis as in those states.
SO far as the general impression in the
east Is concerned.
Norris Opens Meeting.
George w. Norris, chairman of the
board, called the meeting to order
shortly after 10 o'clock. He opened his
address by stating that Secretary of
the Treasury William @, McAdeo, had
asked him to express to the people of
North Dakota his regrets at not being
able to be at the Fargo meeting.
Mr.. Norris stated that Mr.. McAdoo
had been called home from st. Paul
by the illness of his wife and that it

to continue with the board to Fargo
and other places that will be visited
on the trip.
Chairman Norris talk was largely
brief description of the farm loan
bank act IN which he brought out the
principal features of establishment
and operation and in which he dealt
with the cooperative feature of the
system provided for in the act.
Duis Speaks For Forks.
The first witness called TO the
stand was George K. Duls. postmaster
Of Grand Forks. who stated that he
was first a farmer and incidentally
postmaster al Grand Forks Mr. Duis
made quite a talk on the value of the
farm loan bank and of the need Of it
in this state.

Bismarck's Claims.
c. L. Young, president Of the Bis
marck Commercial club, presented
Bismarcks claim for a bank. dealing
with the similarity of interests in the
district that city proposes.
Mr. Young submitted maps covering
such statistics as prevailing rates OF
interest, showing the need for lower
interest is greater in the west than in
the eastern section of the state. The
fact that North Dakota has loaned
four million dollars on farm lands
was pointed to as evidencing the de-
mand for low interest money-the
state rate being per cent.
Minot's Position.
w. e. HOlbein presented Minot's
claims for the federal bank, advan-
cling arguments much the same as
Bismarck. He proposed the same dis
trict. and showed that there are ASS
cities and towns in North Dakota
that can be reached from Minot by
mail within II hours; that there are
324 towns in Montana similarly To-
Gated; and that there are nearly 500
towns in the two states in addition to
these than can be very readily reached.

EASY LESSONS IN BABY
RAISING-BILLY BOYS BATH

Good morning Mrs. Thompson,
am so glad to see you. When did you
get back? But first let me take your
wraps for it is warm in the house.
John made a fire in the furnace this
morning because he feared il might
be chilly for the baby" and Helen
found comfortable chair for he
visitor who was an old friend of her
mothers.
But where is that wonderful baby
l have been hearing about?" said
Mrs. Thompson as noise in another
room attracted her attention. SIS he
well?" "Oh, yes, he is just fine" and
Helen's face lighted up with joy" and
such treasure, but he keeps me pref
ty busy. | am going to have to ask
you to excuse me now for few min
utes. 1t is his sleepy time and he must
have his bath before going to bed or
it will bring bath and dinner too close
together"
"Why not let me come along to the
bath room" said Mrs Thompson 81

followed Helen who placed chair in
one corner of the room. You may be
little too warm over there but you
will have a fine view of the entire
performance" laughed Helen as she
filled the little tub, practically full of
warm water, brought out the baby
basket with it's supply of CASTLE soap,
Baby powder, boracic solution, safety
pins, absorbent cotton etc. Then she
placed clean garments within easy
reach and went after the chief per-
former.
Billy Boy was sleepy but by the
time his shoes were off he seemed to
know what was coming and enjoyed
the prospects for he laughed and
crowed with delight.
When Billy was all bare, Helen
quickly tested the heat of the water
with her elbow and finding it just
right she gathered up the baby,
poised him for moment on her
hands, making a beautiful picture,
then lowered his feet gently into the
water balancing him on one hand
while the other she took up handfuls
of water which she sprinkled over his
fat legs and body. While he was en-
joying this play, her other hand was
removed and before he was aware of
what was happening his body was
partially submerged his head getting
a good lathering with soap and his
face washed with a clean soft cloth.

Thompson who was thoroughly en-
joying the picture. have seen child

II believe it is all in the way the

about frightening him by placing him
in the water too suddenly. You MOTTO

slid him in gradually. He just loves to
stay in but you will see that he don't

And when she lifted him out the
boys lusty rebellion was answer
enough
But kicks and cries had no effect
on the little mother. She had learned
that a baby must have exercise each
day and that the only natural way for
him to get it is by kicking and crying.
She rolled him up in her big bath
apron for a minute, then taking the
nice soft towel she dried every part
of his body very carefully with a sort
of dabbing motion for his skin was

Then she powered the places most

clean clothes and before he was ready
for stockings he had forgotten his
trouble and was playing with his big
toe"
HE will soon be too big for you
to handle in his little tub" and Mrs.
Thompson took the baby while Helen
emptied the bath water THAT re-

ago. Her mother always had trouble
to get her out of her bath good
naturedly until she hit upon the plan
of letting the water all run out of the

gone the child was quite willing to
be lifted out of the tub because her
playtime had disappeared

JUNK DEALER BUYS
 RING THAT IS JUNK
Benjamin Cutler Of Hartford Avenue Pays $S3 For Diamond Ring and
 Finds It To Be Worthless.

Benjamin Cutler, a well known Hartford avenue junk dealer, has been buncoed out of $S3 by two slick Jews who sold him a $500 diamond ring for the aforementioned sum. lie made his purchase Sunday and spent yesterday in trying to find the men. Failing, he notified the police today.
 Cutler says the two men who pro- fessed to being bakers, came to Hart ford avenue last Friday and made his acquaintance. On Saturday they of- fered to sell him a diamond ring for $100. He had the ring appraised and found it to be worth all they asked, but decided not to purchase it.
 On Sunday the two diamond mer- chants met Cutler again and accepted. an invitation to dine with him. Again they offered to sell the ring which had a *'platinum setting'' and finally sold it to Cutler for $83 We'll pleased with his bargain, Cutler slept soundly Sunday night, but on awak- ening Monday morning he found that another ring had been substituted that was not worth eighty-three cents. Benny admits that he is good judge of junk but the best of judges are som etimes fooled and he did not Tecognize the ring as belonging in that class when he bought it for eight-three live dollars.

SUES MAN FOR $500;
 STABBING ALLEGED
Action Grows Out of Recent Police Court Case in Which Defendant
 Was Fined S2O and Costs.

Mrs. BIenz Bilou, through Lawyer M H. Camp, today brought suit against Kukon Bonzserenn for $500 damaged for injuries she alleges she received at the hands of the de- fendant when he sta bbed her at her home on Spring street last month Tn another action she claims $16 for board. The first writ is returnable before the city court on the fourth Monday in May and the second is returnable before the city court on the fifth Monday. Lawyer A. A. Greenberg represents the defendant.
 This case grew out of a recent criminal case in police court in which Bonzserenn was fined $20 and costs for stabbing the woman. During the trial in court testimony brought out was to the effect that the woman had tried to induce the young man to elope with her but he refused. A quarrel ensued, during which he met her on the street and stabbed her slightly, according to her statements.
 The defendant claims that since he was arrested and fined the woman has been harassing, him. He also claims that her wound was not serious one and in court he denied inf1icting it, saving she did it herself and blamed him. He also claims that he paid the bill after Dr. Arvid Anderson had dressed the wound. Likewise, the de- fendant denies that he ever boarded at the woman's house.
