ELEVATOR REPORTS GOOD

That the provision in the North Da-
kota grain inspection law which estab-
lished financial accounting for eleva-
tors as well as an examination of their
wheat receipts and shipments is wise
provision, is being proven as reports
reach inspection headquarters in
Fargo from the 1900 or 1400 elevators
In the first and second congressional
districts. These are now coming in
from all points, and reports from the
third district will be due January 1.
Under this law elevators are as care
fully watched and supervised as the
state banks. Their financial opera
tfons are checked up. Their surety
bonds and insurance are supervised
and kept in proper condition. Those
that have not already systematic
method Of keeping their financial ac-
counts get aid from the department,
and the reports indicate that there are
some that needed this sort Of help
AS general thing, the reports are
much better than we anticipated", said
Fred M. Schulz, chief accountant, s'but
they show that the records of the
wheat taken in and the wheat shipped
out are kept better than the financial
records. Often the reports come In
with debit items in the credit column
and credits in the debit column. The
department tries to be lenient, how
ever, and suggests improvements
where the intention was good"
Reports Of this sort have never been
demanded in the grain trade so far as
North Dakota officials have been able
to learn. They were established here

the same reason that deposits in the
state banks are supervised, and now,
under the farmer administration, guar

j Al ton affirmed its faith in the
work of the Nonpartisan
{so9M league last week at Bismarck,
when the Farmers union of
North Dakota, indorsed Governor Lynn
]. Frazier, elected by the League, and
praised him for his loyalty. Eve
hereby indorse all his private and pub
lie acts" said the farmers. The week
before this the North Dakota state
grange, historically friendly to the
league, also indorsed the organization
in the strongest terms, and gave as it's
reason the fact that the League is
making good.
The farmers union backed street
car men Of the Twin Cities in
their fight to wear the union button,
which has been denied by the Minne-
sofa Public Safety commission, and
which the commission refused to arbi-
trate on request Of Secretary of War
Baker. The farmers loyalty to the ma
tional administration, and their hearty
cooperation in the war against auto
cracy, were also voiced. They pledged
themselves to do their utmost, even to
"our last dollar and our last ounce of
effort" In producing food for Europe
and America.
The seed grain shortage in North
Dakota was also discussed and the
names of farmers and firms that have
good seed corn for sale, were given the
delegates. Secretary Of Agriculture
and Labor. John N. Hagen told them
how serious is the seed grain situation,
and he also presented the resolutions
adopted at the federal grain hearings
In Bismarck calling for notifications
Of the present grades In the interest OF

DEESTRlCT SKULE
WELL RECEIVED
LARGE CROWD GREETS OLD PLAY
AND GIVES 1T MUCH
PRAISE.

A most enthusiastic audience greet
ed the production of the Old Deestrict
Skule given under the auspices of the
South Columbia Methodist church at
High School auditorium Friday night.
The play was striking success and
a roar from start to finish. Miss Pat
tye Smith, under whose capable direc.
ton the play was given, put in many
original and unique situations that
made the large audience roar with
laughter.
The costumes Of the players were
most appropriate and almost made one
feel in the gone by age when the old
school was in full bloom. 1t would be
hard to pick any individual stars from
the many in the play, as all seemed
TO star, but if the individual honors
should fall on anyone it is certain
that Oscar Dial would be the one.
With splendid make up and many
original pranks and stunts he seemed
to be at home and received a great
deal OF applause. !

THE FIRST SUNDAY IN FEB.
INSTRUMENTATION.

Bishop Thomas F.. Gailor will visit
st. Peters Church Parish the first
Sunday in February for the purpose
of administering the rites of con-
firmation upon any who feel so dis,
posed to have this ancient rite admin
fstered by the Bishop. DR.. R. M. w.
Black, rector of ST. Peters church,
hopes to have large confirmation
class for the Bishop and indications
are that one of the largest that has
presented itself for confirmation in
many years will be ready for the
Bishop when he comes. The work of
Dr. Matthews in the parish was very
effective and is having a great after
effect upon the younger members of
the parish who have been baptized,
into the church, but have never been
confirmed.
DR.. Black will conduct a special
service Sunday night for those es-
pecially interested in confirmation.
and will also be glad to respond to
any calls made upon him in regard
to this all important and necessary
move upon the part of the people of

There will be special election in

probably not call the election before
that month SO that the voters will
have an opportunity to qualify by pay
ing their poll taxes.
To vote in the coming election it
VIII be necessary to have a poll tax
receipt for 1916. The penalty upon
taxes for last year does not expire
until March l, so that comparatively
few voters would be qualified before
that date. In order to give as many
as possible the opportunity to pay the
