Appeal Is Made
For. NeU, Rates

Bismarck, N. D., Sept 12-The
North Dakota railway commission is
preparing a statement of facts in
relation to the Ignite industry and
the needs of western Minnesota and
northern South Dakota which win
be presented to the national rail adj
ministration in another effort to OBJ
tain more favorable freight rates
on North Dakota's abundant fuel.
The rates recently placed in effect
by the national administration are
prohibitive insofar as Minnesota
and South Dakota are concerned.
compelling these states to look to
the east for their fuel, when they
have plentiful supply of cheap
coal at their very doorstep. In fact,
the rates established are said to be
considerably higher than those rec
commended by one Of the railways
affected.
Minnesota and South Dakota rail
boards at the St Paul conference
last week both agreed to lend to the
North Dakota commissions new ef-
fort their heartiest support.

two bookkeepers $500, while the
state auditor pays only $1,000.
He would have the legislature give
the state auditor authority to. draw
direct on the various counties for
the care Of their insane, and he asks
that closer, restrictions be thrown
around the admission of patients to
the state hospital, in order that
North Dakota may avoid caring for
the insane Of other states.
The auditor objects to leave Of
absence with pay to college. profess
sors, some Of whom, he says, at the
close OF their years leave, take posi-
tons with institutions outside the
state. This objection, Mr.. Kositzky
privately explains, refers particular
ly to DR.. A. G. Crane, president Of
the Minot normal, whose years
leave of absence has been extended
by the board Of regents to permit
him to accept a commission as
major under Surgeon General Cor
gas, whom the Mtnot educator is to
assist with the establishment of re-
Mobilization hospitals for crippled
soldiers. The war department has
agreed that DR.. Crane shall be re-
leased from time to time when his
services are most needed by the
Minot normal. sr. ...s
Mr.. Kositzky asks that the state
historical society be placed under
control of the board of regents, and
that its meeting be held at the
capital, where the state historical
museum is located, instead of at
Grand Forks. This would save, Nj.

the board. ..,..- go.
The state auditor calls attention to
the fact that North Dakotas bonded
Indebtedness is 1852, 600, and asks.
how the constitutional limit Of $780,
600 has been ,evaded. He would cen
tralize the levying, equalizing, ac-
counting and collecting of state
7saxes in his ONCE.
He urges that a uniform system
Of faccounting for counties and NUM-
cipaEties be installed as recommend
ed by Gov. Hanna several years ago,
when an appropriation of $4,000
was made for this purpose He ad-
vises that on petition Of certain
Morton county citizens he has held
up since February I, 1918, the salary
of Judge J. NJ. Hanley of the 18th
judicial district. who is a major
with the expeditionary< forces in
France, because he is not certain
that he has a legal right to draw this
salary. 49, d.
In conclusion the state auditor
naively acknowledges that he has
spent all the money appropriated for
his office. including sums for extra
clerk hire, and he advises the COVER
nor that he has got his moneys
worth for funds expended and that
he welcomes and invites inspection
and investigation.

throughout a large portion of south
ern Minnesota, has been discovered
by experts from the Minnesota Agri-

Nehall, in charge Of the force engaged

Emphasizing how serious is the
blight, Mr.. NewhaH said that the ex-

not affected between Dodge Center
and Winona, a distance OF 10 miles.
1T is the most serious disease with
which we have to contend, said Mr.
Newhal1, "as 1t results in heavy losses

disease that is easily overlooked.

Tales Of the F71endlyFore
BY DAVID CORY

Let me see. want to let you
know what Uncle Lucky told his lit
tie bunny nephew. Well, the kind
old gentleman rabbit sat down by
Billy Bunny's bed and began to
tell him a story, and this is how it
went:
Once upon a. time there was a
little bunny who lived In a great big
castle. for he was the son of a king,
But this little rabbit prince never
had any fun. for his father wouldn't
let him play with anybody but
bunny princes, and as there was only
one bunny. prince near by. this little
bunny I'm telling you about was
often dreadfully lonely. So one day
he slipped away from the castle and
went deep into the woods. And after
he had hoped along for maybe a
mile and maybe a lot more he said:
"'Oh, dear me, I wish there was
somebody to play With
" IN play with you, said tiny
voice. But the little rabbit couldn't
see anybody.
WHO are your he said. and he
looked under a stone and behind a
tree and up in the sky.
Here 1 am said the tiny voice
again, but a little fairy jumped out
from behind a fern and waved her.
silver wand.
"'Oh, my. but you are small, said
the bunny prince. IF you were only
a bunny could play with you, but
you're fairyi' And then the little
rabbit gave a big sigh and wiggled
his pink nose sideways and back
ward and this way and that till the
little fairy cried, oh, please stop.
You make me dizzy And after
that she waved her wand two or four
times, and maybe once more, and all
of sudden a lot of Dummies came
toward them. : And some
were in little automobiles and some
were on ponies, and some had lots
and lots of ioppypops and peanuts.
And then they began to sing:

Dakota TOJOin
In Rate Protest

Bismarck, n. D., Sept. BIT Is
probable that North Dakota viii iri-
teryene in a general protest to be
filed by the railway commissioners
of the northwestern states against
the new grain tariffs recently es-
tablished by the federal railway adj
ministration. Prior to June % all
northwestern states with the excen-
ton OF North Dakota enjoyed q
lower rate on coarse grains than on
wheat. In North Dakota the .ariffs
were always the same. When the
rate on wheat was advanced 25 per
cent June 25, the federal admins
tration placed coarse grains on
parity with wheat. This change did
not affect North Dakota, where the
rate paid had always been the same
but it caused much commotion in
other states which had enjoyed the
lower rate on coarse grains.
