SUPPLY OF STEEL
HOLDSUP WORK
Construction of Great 7. K. K
Liners for TranspaCifiC Run
at Temporary StandstilI

The program of Soichiro Asano,
president of the Togo Kisen Kaisha,
of establishing an express passenger
service between San Francisco AMI
Yokohama with two fine passenger
ships, each of $4,000 tons displace-
ment, has been partially brought to a
standstill because Of the steel embargo
in the United States. Besides these
two big ships now under contempla-
ton, the T. K. K. head proposes to
build twelve more ships, each of about
$500 tons to be placed on the trans
Pacific service. Each of these twelve
vessels have a limited number of pas
sepger accommodations for the first
and second class and steerage. ..
T. Construction on several Of these YES
sells including one of the two $4,000
ton ships, had been already started
before the embargo issue became
known here Soon after the steel
supply was cut off Mr.. Asano despatch
ed his son, Ryozo Asano, managing
director of the T. K K, to America to
directly confer with the authorities in
Washington in connection with steel
shipments Tor Japan. Several des-
patches from him are that his pro-
posaIs made to the authorities in
Washington have been faVorably con.
sidered. 49, So 9
For After-War Traffic s.
Now that Mr.. s. Asano has been
assured of enough steel materials
from America, construction on these
two big and other smaller ships will
be resumed. Mr.. Asano who has en-
gagged in the trans-P acifiea passenger
and freight traffic for more than 30
years believes that 90 due to extra
ordinary prosperous trade relations
between American and Japan which
will exist after the war, such plan
Of inaugurating an express passenger
service with a few large passenger
liners of. high speed, carrying only a
small shipment Of valuable silk and
bullion cargoes, is greatly needed on
the Pacific. -. '~
''On, account of closer trade condi-
tons which is yearly increasing be-
tween the two nations" Mr.. Asano
said yesterday, time is the first con-
sideration OF every up-to-date business
man in whatever line Of trade he may
engage" :. :#-~ H.

These ocean greyhounds, sailing at
an approximate speed of % knots an
hour, will cross the Pacific in less than
ten days, emitting their call in Homo
lulu. AS on the Atlantic, the policy
that passenger liner should carry
only passengers and cargo ship only
cargo will be adhered to on the Pa
cific, according to Mr.. Asano. Plans
of these huge twin ships designed by
Mr.. Asano's experts show many inter
esting new features for the comfort of
the passengers. -
Several experts OF the Asano Ship
building company are now in the
United States making special study
of some of the best passenger liners
on the Atlantic service. The Togo
Kisen Kaisha has S16,000,000 set aside
for the construction of these ships.
Before the war, these passenger liners
could have been built for S5,000,00O
apiece, but it is impossible to make
them at such low prices now because
= of the high cost of material and labor.

BAUCH NOT GUILTY
WAS THE VERDICT
JURORS RETURNED VERDICT IN
THIRTY MINUTES
Trial Was Sensational and Several
Family Skeletons Were Taken
From Closets

Forman, Feb. 16-The trial of Ray
mond Bauch for killing his father on
September 2, 1916, at his home at For
man, came to an end on Monday af-
ternoon of last week, after more than
two days had been spent at listening
to evidence in the case. After an alb
sence of thirty minutes the jury re-
turned to the court room with the ver-
dict of mot guilty."
The trial was sensational throughout
and the court room was packed during
the entire session. 1t is stated that at
times standing room could not be
bought; the interest was so keen that
many left their places of business,
homes and other duties to listen to
the arguments and evidences intro
duced. 1t is also stated that a num-
ber of sensational family history Incl
dents We're recalled in court, but this
did not bar the women and children
spectators.
Towards the close of the trial it was
apparent to all that the outcome would
be as stated. States Attorney Sweet
man appeared for the state and
Messrs. Wolfe and Leslie for the de.
fendant.

THE STAGE is SET
ATTENDANCE TO BE LARGE

Everything is in readiness for the
annual public school operetta to be
given in the opera house this evening
1t is confidently believed that the pro-
gram this evening will be as attract
i've as any that have been given by the
local schools. Much work has been
put on the production and nothing left
undone to make it a success. The
stage setting is in keeping with the
scene of the play which is laid in the
royal garden of the Emperor of Ca
thay. The Chinese COSTUME and wigs
;,:raal Esas.t .ieasir.s efftsct.
The program will open with dram
atization of cinderella" given by the
first grade under the direc,.on OF Miss
Ruth Nichols. This little fairy tale is
admirably presented by these little
folks in costume.
Another feature will be the flag drill
given by the fourth grade undnr the
direction of Miss Della Hummell. This
part of the program will be in keeping
with the spirit of the day-Washing-
tons Birthday.
Judging from the advance sa.e or
tickets, the house will be sold out by
the time the curtain goes up at 8
o'clock. Patrons are warned that the
program will start promptly at 8. No
one will be shown to a seat while a

in matters of legislation Senator Zie.
man is quite independent. Is some
times with the League aIll .,u.uetlMes
against it, does as he believes on bill
without let or hindrance. He has lost
the confidence of the League, and the
other side can not count on him, hence
according to his idea occupies rather
enviable position.
Representative Knox, the old stand
by, while with the minority in the
lower house, has an influence with up.
per house members that is felt. In
fact his advice is often sought by
members of the senate. Our Oakes
man is not tied down by prediction
pledges, a position he rather likes, and
is voting with the majority in many
instances. In other words he supports
measures he believes to the best in.
terest of the state.
Representative Marshall is standing
by the League in almost everything
He is admitted to the League caucus
and has the confidence of it's members
He is one of those members, however
who dislikes to be held down, and we
warrant if old Dickey sends him to
Bismarck again he will be mighty
careful in making pledges. He is fair
and square and mighty good man.

THE FEDERAL FARM LOAN Ac7
Article No. 12

Limitations on Farm Loan Associations
!. No loan may be made except upon
the security OF fist mortgage III a,.ri.
cultural lands.
2. The amount of the mortgage can
not exceed one-half the value of the
land plus twenty per cent of the value
of the permanent, insured improve
ments thereon.
3. The proceeds of the loan must be
used for the payment of existing debts
or for productive purposes, which in
cludes the purchase of land, livestock,
fertilizers, equipment and improve
ments.
Every mortgage must contain an
agreement to pay of the debt, (princi-
pal and interest) in fixed annual or
semiannual installments.
S. The amount of each installment
may be fixed by the borrower, but can
not be less than sufficient to pay of
the debt in 40 years, nor greater than
to pay it of in years.
6. The rate of interest on the mort
gage cannot exceed per cent.
z. The borrower cannot be called
upon to pay the debt except by the in
stallments he originally fixes, unless
he defaults, but after five years he
may pay of the whole or any portion
at his option at any installment date.
Close students of the Farm Loan
Act say that it will lower interest rates
and at the same time raise Land
values. Here then, is an apparent
paradox in the act. Its purpose is to
make farm ownership easier an more
widespread. If land values are raised
by the act, will farm ownership be
affected? North Dakota Experiment

ABoLlsHlNG COUNTY AGENT
A BACKWARD STEP

At the adjourned meeting of the
county board, held in February, the
board by a vote of three to one, de-
cided to abolish the position of county
agricultural agent. This displaces w.
B. Richards. The Times did not look
for this action. Mr.. Richards is recog-
nized in international stock circles as
well as in state circles, and Dickey
county was fortunate in securing such
a good man. There is a different
spirit manifested among farmers and
stock raisers in the past few years
than obtained in the past, and it has
been brought about through the good
work Of Mr.. Richards. 1t was costing
the county $1,000 for the services OF
Mr.. Richards, and when the govern
ment was putting in $1,000 to aid in
the work, it looks like throwing away
good thing. The Times believes the
dismissal of the county agent was q
backward step.

"BIRTH OF A NATION"
COMING TO oAkEs

The slave trade in America and
slavery as it existed prior to the war
are exemplified in 1.-THE Birth of a Ma
tion," D. w. Grifith's pictorial and
musical elaboration of Thomas Dixon's
1.-The Clansman" and "The Leopard's S
Spots"
This phase of political conditions is
traced strikingly from the importation
of the first slaves to the troubles that
grew out of their freedom and conse-
auent enfranchisement and subsequent
tribulations of the South under carpet
bag rule.
AS a sort of prologue to the drama,
the arrival of the first "cargo" of
slaves is presented with historic fl
deity. From this the scene changes
to ante-bellum days, depicting the con-
dition of the negro in the South at that
time. Then comes the turmoil of war,
and, finally, the rule of black over
white with mulatto lieutenant gov
ernor in the capital of South Carolina
and the Ku Klux Klan riding through
the countryside to rescue their women
and preserve their traditions.
Lincoln signing the Emancipation
Proclamation is a favorite among the
5000 odd scenes of the mighty spec
tacle.
See "The Birth of Nation" when it
appears here at the opera house, Sat
urday and, Monday, March 10th and
18th, with the negro problem in Amer
ica in mind, as we'll as the manifold
other particular features, and you will
marvel at what you behold.
Music lovers are as pleased with this
presentation as they would be over a
production of grand opera, as it's score
of martial music, patriotic airs and
folk songs is played by symphony or
chestra, especially trained and carried
for this purpose, and which greatly en-
hances the emotional power Of the
splendid work.

Bertha HeIoa Nelson

once again the community has
been saddened by the appearance of
the death angel in our midst. Miss
Bertha Helga Nelson departed this
life yesterday morning at 1920 o'clock
at the home of her sister, Mrs.
Matilda Nelson, with whom she has
been staying. The immediate cause
of her death was septic infection,
cause unknown. Miss Nelson had
been ailing for the past four months,
but made little or no complaint and
it was not thought to be of a serious
nature, though she had been under
the Doctors care since the first of
February. Last Sunday, however,
she became violently ill and DIR. w.
G. Brown of Fargo was called in con-
sultation with DR.. F. w. Maercklein,
and everything that medical skill
could do was done in an effort to save
the patients life.
Bertha Helga Nelson was born on
March 80, 1881, at Solor, Norway, and
would have been thirty-six years of
age had she lived until the thirtieth
of next month. She came to this coun-
try in 1894 and was accompanied by
her mother, who now lives at the home
Of her son, Carl, in Wright township,
and also two sisters, Mrs. Vim. Homer
berg of Yorktown township, and Mrs.
Matilda Nelson of Oakes, who survive
her. She is also survived by four
brothers.: D. L. Nelson and Carl Mel
son of Wright township, Ole Nelson
of Homestead, Montana, and Nels Mel
son, who still lives on the home place
in Norway.
The funeral will be held from the
home of Mrs. Matilda Nelson today at
one o'clock, Rev. H. Moe of the Nor
wegian Lutheran church officiating.
The body will be taken by train to La
Moure and then to the home of Carl
Nelson, where the mother is, and
where services will again be conduct
ed before interment in the cemetery
near st. Ansgar church in Wright
township.
Miss Nelson was we'll known to
Oakes people, was a member of the
Rebekah lodge of Fullerton, and her
untimely taking away is a severe
shock. Tenderest sympathy is ex
tended to the bereaved relatives in
their time of sadness.

COLONEL CRlCSBY
DIES IN SOUTH
WAS ILL ONLY SHORT TIME WITH
PNEUMONIA
Of This city-Prominen in
South Dakota

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: The
archer of death has been hitting a
good many shining marks of late,
and one pioneer of South Dakota
after another has fallen to his in
evitable craftsmanship. 1t may
be merely coincidence; it may
be the penalty we are paying for
a particularly severe winter; or it
may be merely the revelation that
the state is growing older and that
her pioneers must in the nature
of things pass along.
Colonel Melvin Grigsby, who
died last night in Birmingham,
Ala, after a short illness with
bronchial pneumonia, has been
resident of Sioux Falls As years.
He was our first alderman. He
was a serviceable member of the
constitutional convention. He gave
the state good service as attorney
general, was an active candidate
for the United States senate twen-
ty years ago, and only in the last
republican primaries was a candi-
date for delegate to the republican
national convention as support
er of Colonel Roosevelt, of whom
he was great admirer and with
whom he was associated in the
Rough Rider regiment during the
Spanish-American war. Colonel
Grigsby was great student of the
federal and state constitutions and
in matters of constitutional inter-
probation he was an authority. The
last business activity in which
Colonel Grigsby was engaged was
the organization of the Stock
Yards Bank on the East Side, of
which he was elected president.
Colonel Grigsby left behind him
fine record as patriot, as a
lawyer and as citizen. The city
and the state in his death sustain
a severe loss.
Colonel Grigsby was only brother ,
Mrs. Thomas F. Marshall of Oake
The colonel was a prominent and pi

itical activity of his state. He serve
a term as attorney general of Sout
Dakota and later held the same off.
