G. A. R. REVIEWS PLEDGES
OF LOYALTY TO NATION
State Commandery, in Session at
Casselton, Adopts Striking
Resolutions.

The following resolutions were
adopted by the state G. A. r. COM
mandery at Casselton Wednesday
afternoon:
First: That we rejoice that so large a
number of our scattered comrades ale
again privileged 20 meet face to face
and clasp glad hands and participate
In the business and pleasure of our an
nual encampment.
We meet at this time under condi-
The tocsin of war and the call to arms
that resounds through our beloved
land, stirs the blood of the old soldier
as nothing else can. Our inalienable
lenged, our blood-bought democracy
and the welfare of humanity is at
stake. 1t is time that calls upon ev-
cry American to do his best in the
present great world crisis.
Second: We wish to express our
gratitude to the congress of the United
States for the liberal pensions provided
for the widows of civil war veterans,
Third: We are delighted with the
presence OF so great number of the
Womans Relief corps. Their kindness
and sympathy always so helpful and
freely given is an inspiration that fills
our hearts with joy far greater than
mere gratitude. God bless the ladies
of the Woman's Relief corps.
Fourth: We urgently recommend
ana CorQialIy invite the sons or VET
Grams and their auxiliary to hereafter
hold their encampment at the same
time and place that the Grand Army
holds it's encampment, and cooperate
and fraternize with the Grand Army in
its annual encampments.
Fifth: To the officers and citizens of
the city of Casselton, we are much in
debted for the hearty welcome and hos
pitable entertainment we have receiv-
ed as guests of this delightful little
city. 81
AS veterans of the civil war we do
not pose as heroes. What-we did in the
of this union was simply
the common duty of loyal citizens. It
is for the present citizenship to per-
petuate it, for which we invoke the
favor of Almighty God.

viii Work Out Defects.
I'VE will take the most essential
features OF this law said DR.. Ladd,
and endeavor to work them out sat
isfactorily. If we find defects we will
ask the next Legislature to remedy
them. We do not intend to even at
tempt to place, in effect every technical
feature of the act. The one thing we
are seeking to do Is to bring federal
inspection back into this state; to
bring it back from the terminal mar
kets, to our own communities. where
the man who grows the grain may en-
joy it's benefits. All that we hope to
gain is simple justice for the farmer
"a fair price for a fair product"

sented at the nearing were the STAND
ard Grain Co. of Minneapolis and the
Equitable Audit CO., of st. Paul, rep
resenting about 100 North Daokta ele-
vators. A. F. Noble of Mondak, mil
lionaire rancher, attended.
Dr. Ladd Is given immediate au-
thority to employ one deputy and nee
essary clerical help. During the next
three weeks many details are to be
worked out, and a definite plan, it is
hoped, may be presented for consider

holds its statutory meeting
there the first of July. A uniform
system Of bookkeeping designed for
the elevators Of the state by Fred w.
Schulz, elevator examiner, was ac-
copied by the commission.
