Major Henry Is Slated
to Head New Regiment

Authorization of all additional regi
ment of national guard infantry in
North Dakota has resulted in consid-
cradle speculation throughout the
state as to how the regiment will be
recruited, who will be granted COM
panies, and what military duty the
new regiment will perform in the war.
Most of these details will be worked
out by the adjutant generals Office at
Bismarck.
That Adjutant General T. H. Thar.
Alison or Colonel John H. Frame, and
probably both, will head all infantry
brigade of North Dakota troops is the
opinion Of people here versed in mill.
tary affairs. The adjutant general, by
virtue of his Office, already ranks as
brigadier general, and John II. Frame
as ranking colonel would be due for
this preferment.
Both Tharalson and Frame are men
of extensive military experience. Each
has seen active service in the Philip
pines, and that each is slated for high
command is taken for granted.
Should Frame be moved up, it will
mean the advancement to colonel for
Lieutenant-C Colonel Grafton of Fargo,
Who it is presumed, would then head

commanded by Frame. The command
Of the second North Dakota infantry,
which will be organized by early fall,

Big Boom, Says White

Fargo Forum: Former Gov. Frank
White of Valley City and member Of
the state board Of regents, declared
this morning that Valley City is en-
joying a remarkable building boom
despite the war pressure which is cur
failing building operations in the
northwest.
Several new mercantile establish
ments are going up and many new
residences are in the course of con-
struction. He stated that the William
Storey building will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 and that of j. J.
Lee about $4,000.
The central heating plant of Val
ley City, law being put through at
the last session of the state legislature,
granting the right for such a munich
pal concern to operate, may not be
built this year. according to Governor
White.
The attorney for the Fargo com.
pany which was awarded the contract
for the erection Of the $4,000 plant,
has unearthed a flaw in the law and
will not 60 ahead under the terms Of
the contract.
While the company has given a bond

contract, the people Of Valley City are
not over anxious to have the plant
completed this year so will not force

Automobile Slackers
Better Dodge Sheriff

Sheriff Kelly and Deputy Larson, of
Barnes county, are lined up solidly
behind the secretary of state in his
efforts to enforce the state aut tonic,
bile registration laws.
Deputy Larson, who has been all
over the county during the past week,
says that he found few violators of
the law. He found a number of own
ers, however, operating cars with only
one registration tag displayed and en-,
tirely in ignorance Of the new law
which requires a tag on both front
and rear Of the car.
Special Agent Irving Vivian, of the
state motor vehicle department, was
in Valley City Friday and stated to
the Times-Record that he finds county
and city officials generally more than
anxious to cooperate with the state
department in enforcing the law rela-
tive to the registration of motor
vehicles.
Last year, it is estimated, only
about IS per cent of the cars owned
in the state were registered. The
law last year, required that only one
tag be displayed, while two were fur
nished by the state. The extra tag
was usually disposed Of to neighbor
at a big reduction, and the state was
out, while two cars operated on one
registry.
The sheriff's Office is on the outlook
for lone tag" cars this year, and the
old STALL" ignorance of the law, or
Il left it in the garage" won't hold
water any longer. Driving car with
only one license tag is as much a VIC,
lation of the law as driving with no
tag.
Mr.. Vivian, who has been in Cass
county for the past several days says
that Barnes county officials will have
to hump to keep up with the record
of Cass county officials are out to
make. Their ultimate goal is every
car in the county. "Get 'em alp IS
slogan from now on, and that is the
slogan that the secretary of state is
anxious to have all the county and
municipal authorities in the state
adopt as regards "auto license slack
ers."

The meeting was called to order by
County Chairman Jas. J. Farley. C. F.

every part of the county was repre-
scented, and some who were unable to
be present responded by letter. con-
veying assurances of generous and
whole-hearted cooperation and sup

Barnes county's allotment.
All banks, state and national, have
been authorized by the government TO
receive applications, and the cooper

Throughout the length and breadth OF
the country the response is practical
ly unanimous. The banks are lending
their services and all their facilities
without charge or compensation of
any kind no commissions are paid to
any Individual, firm or corporation.
At the meeting Thursday evening a
permanent organization was perfect
ed, the name adopted being the
Barnes County Bankers association.
This is to be a permanent organiza-
ton, to continue through the period
of the war and thereafter. The need
Of an organization Of this kind has
been felt for some time. The officers
elected were as follows: President,
Jas. J. Farley, of the Bank OF Valley
City; vice president, c. E. Batcheller,
of the First National Bank of Fingal;
secretary, c. F. Mudgett, Of the First
National of Valley City; treasurer,

which the visiting bankers returned to
their homes with enthusiasm and de-
termination to present this highly i'm
portant matter to their customers, who
will be called upon to do their share.
It is desired that Barnes cOunty's to-
tai shall be generous. Among the
bankers rivalry will develop in dis
posing of these bonds, which will help
swell the total.
