Is Taylor Slated for
Dickinson Normal job?

Dickinson. Aug. 23.-E j. Taylor,
former state superintendent of educa.
ton, has sprung into sudden promin-
ence as candidate for the presidency
of the Dickinson state normal school
as his name appears for that position
on the official list issued by State Au-
ditor Kositzky
Members Of the state board of re-
gents refuse to announce his appoint
ment or deny it, although 1t is under
stood that the majority of the mem
bers favor him. No effort will be made
to open the normal school for another
year because of the lack of funds, the
appropriation for it's establishment and
maintenance having been reduced last
winter as an economy measure.

Washington, Aug. 24.-'War expendi-
lures of the United States, including
allied loans, have mounted during Au-
gust to more than $24,OOO,OOO every "a
hours. The United States has been
spending daily during August for its
own needs an average of $8,O88,652.
The allies have been receiving daily

including cash already paid and the
new Russian credits which will be
paid shortly. The daily expenditure
thus reaches more than $24,OOO,OO0.
Since war was declared, one hundred
and forty days ago, the treasury has
paid out total of 387,49O, OS9, of
which $1,630,500,00O has been advanc-
ed to the entente governments.
Expenses on Increase
With the new national army under
arms, the shipbuilding and air craft
construction programs well under way,
expenses will soon reach greatly high
er levels. A conservative estimate Of
the treasury daily expense by the be-
ginning of the new year places the
total at from $3O,OOO,C0O to $4,000, 900.
The United States has paid out for
its own needs since it entered the war
s776,99O,Cs6, Of which s741,156,765 was
spent in military, naval and admins
trative functions.
The bill will be greater during the
coming few months by many hundreds

for the army and navy, for the food
and clothing for soldiers and sailors,

AT the present time the government
is spending sum estimated at from
S5,O0O,0O0 to $6,0O0,OOO daily above the
current receipts from ordinary sources.
The 100000 Liberty loan and the

quarters company and all other men
from this county; who are serving their

the following announcement:
To Whom it May Concern;
The undersigned committee has
been appointed by the Valley City
Lodge lilo, B. p. O. E., to act as a
Soldier Committee In the interest of
&C" Company, Headquarters Company,
and other men from this county, who
are serving their country. By using
the facilities at hand to the best adj
vantage, the committee feels that they
can best show their friendship, admira,
ton and appreciation OF the men who
are in the service in the following
ways, suggested by us and subject to
your approval.
The work of this committee will be
to render any service within its pow
er, not only to yourselves hut to your
relatives and friends.
First-That we are willing, with the
cooperation and endorsement of the
mayor OF Valley City and leading at
torneys, to act as your personal repre-
sentative in any matter of business
that may present themselves and to
which you are unable to give your per
sonal attention.
Second That we will endeavor
through the cooperation of your Off
GERS, to keep posted, so far as possible,
regarding yourselves, so that we can
be an authoritive source of informa-
ton to your relatives and friends.

wish to send you comfort packages,
magazines, books, ETC., and in the
proper handling Of the above we aim
to make our efforts most effective We
have the Elks home as headquarters
and with its central location, can be
conveniently reached by all. ! 1t is our
idea to make the Elks Home a station
for handling the above; that anyone
having anything to send to the com
panies as a whole, or to the individual
men; can leave their packages or 9TH
er articles there and we will see that
lthey reach their proper destination. II
anyone cannot conveniently leave the
packages at the Elks Home, we will
make arrangements to call for them
any place in the city. If you are un.
able to obtain proper packing boxes,
advise any one of the committee and
they will endeavor to furnish them for
you, after having your package pre-
pared, mark the soldiers name on it
plainly SO that it will be sure to reach
the party for whom it is intended. At
regular intervals we will send all such
packages or other articles and will pay
all necessary transportation charges
to destination. In this way we feel that
we can insure better delivery and ELF
inmate all possibility of packages 60.

Asses sment High
the Carriers Claim

Bismarck, Aug. 23.-Losses in reve.
nues in the successful operation of the
bone dry" law and the application OF
the new cream rates recently put in
effect by the North Dakota railroad
commission was made the basis of At.
torney E. G. Davis argument, that the
Western Express company had been
over-assessed by the state equalization
board. Attorney Davis appeared be.
fore the equalization board to argue
excessive valuations, as did dozen
other attorneys representing express
companies and public utilities.
Attorney Davis argued that his com.
pany, which happens to be one of the
smallest express companies doing
business in the state, had lost in rev
enues during the first month the ..bone
dry" law was in effect approximately
$4,000. The new cream rate, Mr.. Davis
said, does away with the long hauls
out of the state and thereby reduces
their revenues to a considerable ex-
tent.
The state board Of equalization
spent the entire day hearing COM
plants of representatives of express
companies and public utilities. Late
in the afternoon, however, after they
had extended hearing to all who ask
ed to be heard the board began the
equalization Of personal properties.
