Hartford Courant: Brother slave OF

brought home to you that though you
are now a "grownup", there still re-
mains one place on earth where you
may play like a child, eat like child

nounced until such debt, both principal
and interest, shall have been fully
paid. No debt in excess of the limit
named shall be incurred except for the
purpose of repelling invasion, sup
pressing insurrection, defending the
state in time of war; or to provide for
public defense in case of threatened
bonds to refund existing indebtedness
which shall not be construed to be any
part or portion of said $500, 000.'
Section 172: The state or any poll
teal division thereof may issue or
guarantee the payment of bonds in ex-
cess of the debt limit specified in this
article, provided such bonds are Sc
cured by first mortgages upon real
estate or upon property of public utili-
ties, enterprises or industries
These provisions, while new in
North Dakota, are not untried, but are
in successful operation in some of our
states, and in many other countries.
These changes are necessary that
the legislation for which the people
have asked may be carried out.
Il believe the only feasible method
Of undertaking the establishment of
any public utility is to issue and sell
bonds for each particular enterprise,
and let the bonds and interest be paid
out of the earnings.
Even the terminal elevators for
which the people have been persistent
ly asking for six years, cannot well be
provided for in any other manner, and
the people don't want to wait another
six years for the carrying out of their
wishes. This proposed constitution
makes 1t possible to begin to carry out
these demands at once.
"At the time our state Irvine plant
was started, bonds were issued for the
purpose of building and equipping it.
In fifteen years time these bonds,
principal and interest, were paid off
out of the net earnings. The people
were not taxed, yet the Irvine plant
paid for itself in fifteen years and at
the same time saved every North Da-
kota farmer that used Irvine, at least
one cent a pound on his Irvine bill
since the plant has been in operation.
There is no question but What on
state Irvine plant has saved the people
of North Dakota hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
81 believe there is a greater need
for terminal elevators, fiour mills and
packing plants than for any other
state Industrial institution / believe
there is q great opportunity for such
institutions to make an immense saw
ing to both the producers and consum-
ers OF our state. To be convinced tnab
there is imperative need for a change
in our grain marketing system, you
have only to read Bulletin No. 119 by

Cherry Orchard as a very thoughtful
drama. 1t was the consensus of opinion
that while it would never succeed as
popular play, The Cherry Orchard
might be much enjoyed by those max

Washing Won't Rid
Head Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve 1t, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this. get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the. scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight. and by morning,
most il not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more APP
|plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace Of it, no matter how much dan
Idruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging OF the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and gcft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.
