Grain Dealers Assn
Holds Annual Meeting
Here Feb. 27-28, Mar.

The annual meeting Of the North
Dakota Farmers Grain Dealers asso-
citation will be held in Fargo Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 81 and
%, and March /. The sessions will be
held at the Fargo auditorium. Head
quarters will be at the Gardner hotel.
Plans are being formulated for the
biggest convention Of the kind ever
held in the state, and officers of the
association expect the attendance to
pass the 500 mark. Representative
farmers, not only from North and
South Dakota, but from Minnesota,
Iowa and Kansas have been rendered
a cordial invitation. A. A. Lane Of
Sherwood is president Of the associa-
ton, and NJ. c. Gaulke of Thompson,
secretary.
Aim of Association.
The aim Of the association is to pro-
mote economy in the handling of farm
products. 1t is not organized for pc
cuniary profit, and operates on the
most nominal expense. No fees are de-
manded from the individual member.
A number of farmers problems, not
mentioned in the program. will come
up for discussion at the coming meet
ing, including a bill now before the
Minnesota legislature imposing one
cent per hundred on all sales or agree
ment Of sales made at any exchange
or board of trade in the state, the
farmer ultimately paying the tax; the
embargo Of grain shipments on central
trunk line territory, demoralizing the
cash grain market in the northwest;
the possible advance of one cent per
hundred on export grain shipments;
and the increased demurrage rate,
which is called another tax on the
grain grower. 1t is probable that pro-
tests against these acts will be made.
Arrangements for the anEIal BAN
quet have not been made. 1t will, how
ever, be held on the evening OF
March l.
The program, which is said to be
the best in the history Of the associa-
ton, follows:
Morning, Tuesday, Feb. II.
All delegates and farmers elevator
representatives call at the registration
desk in the Gardner hotel lobby as
soon as they arrive in the city.
The feature of getting acquainted
for mutual benefit will be carried out
as in former years, during the fore

gin at o'clock sharp.

AGAINST POOL
HALL PERMIT
ROOSEVELT COMMUNITY CLUB
GOES ON RECORD AS OPPOSED
TO LICENSING OF ESTABLISH
MENT AT 7o5 TENTH STREET
NORTH.

Stating that they are opposed to the
establishment of pool hall at 1OS
Tenth street north for the reasons
that a commercialiZed recreation
center is out of place in the residence
district, that the proposed location Is
too close to two ward school buildings
and that because it is out OF the
regularly policed district it would not
have the proper police supervision the
members of the Roosevelt Community
club have filed a protest with the city
commission against the granting OF a
license in this case.
The petition which has been filed
with the commission is in full as fol-
lows:
To the Honorable Board of City
Commissioners,
Gentlemen: The members Of the
Roosevelt Community club who are
residents Of the Seventh ward Of this
city wish to enter protest with your
board against the granting of a license
to one G. H. Stevens to establish a
pool room at 705 Tenth street north In
said ward.
The objections of the club to the
proposed pool room are as follows:
First-It is the opinion of the club
and it's members that a commercial
lied recreation center is out OF place
in the residence section Of the city and
especially in a locality so near to two
ward school buildings, namely, the
Roosevelt school, four blocks distant,
and the Longfellow school, three
blocks distant.
Second-A pool room so located is
outside of regularly .policed territory
and so would fail of proper police
supervision, to insure the enforcement
of the ordinance to prevent minors
from entering such places Of amuse-
ment.
Signed for the club: ...-..
Mrs. r. o. Olsen,
President,
Mrs. G. e. Anderson.
Secretary,
For the committee:
Mrs. o. A. Stevens.

unlawful introduction OF intoxicating
liquors from New Mexico into Las

The executive is very earnestly direct

enforcement of the law. The law as it
now stands must be and will be en-
forced. but there are serious infirmi-
ties in the law and it requires mater

In this connection 1t is recommended
to the Legislature that no date OF ad-

journ before the enactment Of such

Island Of Serpents. around which cling
many fantastic legends as we'll as sev-
eral historical episodes which at one
time threatened to become Of interna-
tiOnal moment. says the National Geo
graphic society bulletin.
Unlike the mOnotonOus reaches OF
reed-cOvered murshland which stretch
for 81 miles ulOng the Roulnaniun und
Russiun shores to the north and south
OF the Sulina mouth of the Danube,
seldom attuining an elevation Of more
than two feet ubOve the level of the
Blnck sea, the Island Of Serpents, or
tfdo-nisi, thrusts it's precipitOus cliffs
above the water to heights ranging
from 80 to lUO feet.
1t Is u mere heck of rock in q sea
whose depth a few yards from the
shore Is ~ fathoms. The islet Is
scarcely more than mile in circum-
ference, but 1t has been beacon guild
ing ships to the Danube for many CEN
turtles. its elevation being In such strik-
ing contrast to the delta land OF the
great river.
In ancient times Fido-nisi had a va
riety of names, but Grecian poets and
travellers referred to 1t most frequent
ly as Leuce, or the White islund, on
account of the numerous seafowls
| which, M ,t nf 81 th,,
swurned over its cliffs.
1t was to this island that Thetis IS
supposed to have carried the ashes of
her son, Achilles, hence the temple
| erected here in honor of the hero of
the Trojnn war. Another legend re-
lates that Thetis snatched the body
of Achilles from the funeral pyre, that
he was restored to life and that there
after he lived on the island with
lphigeneia, the daughter of Agamem-
non, who had been saved from sucri-
tice by the goddess Artemis.
The maine Island of Serpents grew
out of the fact that numerous black
snakes from four to five feet long were
discovered here by mariners. Achilles
was often referred to as 1.-The snake
born" and his mother. Thetis, frequent
ly assumed the form of u snake.
The AmaZons are supposed to have
attempted to seize this islund on one
occasion, but the ghost of Achilles up
peared and SO terrified the horses of
the female warriors that the riders
were thrown and severely trampled-up-
on. whereupOn the expedition was
abandoned.
This meager rock brought England
and Russia to the verge of war 6O
years ago, following the treaty of
peuce. which ended the Crimean con-
| tiict.
The island was not mentioned in the
terms of the treaty and when Turkey
sent party to relight the lighthouse,
which had been dark throughout the
struggle of 1853 to 1855, Russia at
tempted to take control of the beacon,
which stands as a guidepost to the
Danube's mouths.
England protested, and sent fleet
across the Black sea to enforce her de-
mands In behalf of her recent ally, the
sultan. Russia. after u brief threat of
resistance, yielded. The island passed
into Roumanian hands when that ma
ton threw off the Ottoman shackles In
1877.

Denver.-Governor Julius c. 0unteP
in a speech urged county assessors
at their annual meeting with the Colo
rado State Tar Commission to do all
in their power to fig taxes at fair but
full cash value and not to fail to pro-
vide the proper revenue for state a.
penses.
Il know Of no other body with more
important duties to the state than this
body" said Governor Gunter. Zone Of
the most serious questions confront
ing the taxpayers 10 the fair listing Of
property, and the course you pursue
should be the object of profound
thought. You must recognize your
duties as officers who fix the amount
OF money that shall 60 to support your
state activities, the activities of your
state institutions and the welfare OF
your people. ! do not urge you to
place high valuations. but earnestly
suggest that you make efforts to bs
fair in your every consideration"
Governor Gunter said that it was
his intention to foster a spirit of
working with, not against, county Of
ficials.
State Treasurer Robert H. Higgins
and Attorney General Leslie E. Hub
bard also urged the assessors to do
their part in placing fair valuations.
Something must be done," said
Treasurer Higgins. "The tax valua-
tion is going down every year and the
mill levy up. Can it be true that
Colorado is going backward instead
of forward?"
Attorney General Hubbard thanked
the assessors for help he received
from them as state inheritance tax ap-
praiser He also urged that they CO.
operate with state officials in doing
their utmost to be fair in fixing val
ues.
Secretary Of State James Noland
told the assessors that he would en-
deavoJ as a member of the State
Board OF Equalization to consider the
interest of the counties as we'll as the
