Accounting System Developed.

The army accounting system has been
developed for tho purpose of prevent
ing any possibility Of officers making
improper use OF the funds under their
control. 1t has been characterized as
"red tape" but 1t is pointed out that the
system has been completely successful
in it's main object and there will be no
letting down Of the bars because of
war conditions. Every effort to decen-
tralize the administration of army funds

ton. All officers will be held rigidly ac-
countable, however, for disbursements
they make and will be compelled to
comply to the regulations in every re-

carded Traverse Naviga-

Breckenridge, Mimi. June 23.-The
hearing of the committees from the
states Of North Dakota, South Da-
kota and Minnesota to perfect a
drainage district here opened this
afternoon. everything pointing fav-
orably to the organization.
The big issue before the gathering
was whether this new district to be
known as the "Wilkin county dis
trict" should join with the Lake
Traverse district launched at the
Wheaton meeting wv weeks ago.
Some prominent Minnesota men favor
a separate district.
The war department wires it has
thrown down Lake Traverse from a
navigation standpoint, but looks upon
food control and drainage as FEAST
BILE, which lent encouragement to the
meeting. Engineer James A. Hard of
North Dakota declared the matter of
navigation is always regarded as
fictitious.
