New Corporation Is
Perfected Last Week

Through the inventive genius of
John Neustadter, who has recently
patented a novel and useful article in
the form Of disappearing trunk or
box handle, new corporation was
now on the market.
The new organization is capitalized
for $4,000 and the officers of the
new company are: John Neustaedter,
president; Eugene Mcfarland, first
vice president; Harry N. Olsby, Sec
ond vice president; J. w. Rodewald,
secretary and L. W. Hubbard, treas
urer.
The new device to be put on the
market is a handle which may be
fitted to any trunk, box, tool chest, or
any kind of chest or box that needs
be carried by hand. It is neat in de-
sign and so made as to disappear from
surface View as soon as the hand re-
leases from it. 1t will find it's use
fulness most prominent in being at
tached to heavy boxes and trunks that
may have to be packed in close order
as in baggage cars, steamers, or on
drays. Also, it will be the means of
saving many boxes and trunks for
the American Disappearing Handle
leaves nothing on the surface to be
broken off should the trunk be drop
ped by accident or carelessness. That
the article will find ready sale is an
almost assured fact as it's construction
and build is of such strength that it
is now causing interest in govern
mental departments as being logi-
cal handle to apply to ammunition
boxes and other large and heavy box
es that must needs be handled by man
power. The handles are tested up to
900 pounds per handle, which will
stand all the ordinary strain that may
be put upon them at any time.
There seems to be lively demand
for stock, which is selling at $500
per share, par value, and as all ar
rangements have been completed to
at once begin the manufacture OF
these handles, it will only be short
time until they will be on the market
Mr.. Neustaedter has the handling
of the stock sale and will push it
right along until enough capital has
been realized to cover the immediate
expense and as soon as certain num-
Der have been manufactured the sale
of stock will discontinue.

Elects Officers;
Endorses State Administration

The feature of the closing day Of
the Equity convention held here last
Wednesday and Thursday was an
address by Attorney General Will
liam LANCER. While he held the
boards he kept the applause coming
at frequent intervals and won a ris-,
ing vote of thanks from the audience.
One of the things not explained by
the able attorney was his attitude
in asking the convention not to pass
a resolution favoring the impeach-
ment of Judges Cooley of Grand
Forks, and Leighton of Minot, after
hehad severely arraigned them. Pres
ident Anderson offered to sponsor a
resolution tothat effect but the attor-
ney general said no.
1t was decided to make no change
in the annual membership fee of IS,
and to retain the present system OF
having the Objects elected by the
board Of directors.
The report of the legislative COM
mittee, which was adopted recon-
mend the passage of the nonpartisan
ballot law killed in the last session,
and laws making it less costly for CO.
operative corporations to increase the
capital stock. Another recommends
ton is that the state constitution be
amended Gin accordance with the
principles expressed in House Bill A."
The livestock committees report
condemned the action of the national
Equity society in indorsing the Kirk
Commission company of St. Paul and
asked an investigation of charges
against Fred Osborne, assistant man
ager of the Equity Exchange.

Equity packing plant at Fargo told Of
its 20 progress and how it's business
would be handled, at the afternoon
session.

APPROXIMATION

Because one of the great unifying
and Matchmaking influences is the
singing of the national and patriotic
songs, and because the week of
Washington's birthday has been des-
ignated as National Week of Song,
l deem it especially appropriate at
this time to suggest that the week of
February 18th to 23rd, inclusive, be
set aside for the singing of such of
our songs as will awaken the love of
God and country, and stimulate a
true spirit of devotion and loyalty.
That this be done in all schools and
churches, and that special community
song programs be carried out by all
choral societies, welfare circles, wom-
ems clubs, mems clubs, and kindred
organizations. Further, that at 8
o'clock in the evening of February
22nd, all citizens wherever assembled,
rise and sing the four verses of "My
Country, IT'S of Thee" and add this
new verse which should be sung as
fervent prayer:
God save our SPLENDID men,
Bring them safe home again,
God save our men.
Make them victorious,
Patient and chivalrous;
They are so dear to us
God save our men.
That this be done in schools, church.
es, theaters, clubs, lodges, or where
ever else people may be congregated
at the time-even in their homes.
Also, that the programs of that eve
ming be closed with the singing of
"The Star-Spangled Banner"
Done at the Capitol at Bismarck
this 18th day Of February, 1918.

IDEAL MILD WEATHER FUEL

Bismarck, Feb. 13.-Lignite is an
ideal mild-weather fuel. While North
Dakota has not seen the last of win
ter, by any means, there is approach
ing long season of moderate tenn
peratures, when a slow, steady fire is
all that will be required. A furnace
filled with Ignite in the morning, left
for half-hour with drafts drawing
full force and then checked, with
only a small draft left below, will fur
nish a moderate, steady heat for a
period of ten to fifteen hours, with
very little attention. Because it con-
tains very little sulphur or free gas,
a Ignite fire can be "throttled down"
when similar treatment would be dan
gerous with bituminous.

MISS CONN TELLS NEED
OF TEACHERS IN AFRICA

This is a Zulu girls wardrobe, -
said Miss Edith Conn, a graduate of
the Normal school just returned from
the South African mission field, as
she emptled a small basket no larger
than anordinary purse, in the course
OF her address at the general exer.
cises on Thursday morning. The has.
ket contained number of copper and
brass trinkets, such as bracelets and
earrings and a number of strings of
beads, also a piece of decorated fab
ric about yard square.
Miss Conn spoke on the customs OF
the native tribes, their government
and language, and told OF what the
mission schools are accomplish ng
among the Zulus. These tribes she
characterized as strong and much
like those of our own American In.
dian IN many respects. They are I'm.
der the control of the British govern
ment, but that government does not
take full control and the natives also
have their own code. Polygamy ex-
lists and a man has as many wives us.

The Zulus have been warrior tribes,
but now the British government has
disarmed them, even Of their own ma
tive spears. There are two classes,
the heather and the Christian. The
heathens still have their witch doc

The men of the tribe spend most
of their time in visiting with each
other while the women do the work.
Corn and beans are the staple articles
of food, and these the women plant,
while the chief occupat on of the chill
dren is to keep the monkeys from up
roofing the crops.
Speaking of the school in which
she taught at Adams, Miss Conn SAID
that the curriculum was much like
that in the schools of this country.
The school is conducted like an Amer
lean Normal school with it's Normal
and practice departments. From SO
to so students are enrolled in the Nor
NAL department., and from IS to 100

six schools in the province, because

these schools return to teach the peo'

continent to strange tribes.

students, that if the whole student
body were to enter the teaching field

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
ARE TAXABLE

When preparing for the issuing of
Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Certificates, the national administra
ton very wisely decided that they
should not be subject to any taxes,
federal, state or local. In this re-
spect they are entirely unique, being
free when almost everything else of
value is subject to impost.
AS the amount that an individual
may hold is limited to $1,000, this
concession does not deal unjustly to-
ward other security holders. It is
simply an inducement to the small in
vestor to make an unusual effort in
his country's behalf, by depositing as
much of his surplus with the govern
ment as possible. Those who buy
these little bonds-and all should do
it-should understand in advance of
the coming days of taxation return in
April that whatever of their earned
savings or surplus derived from econ
omies is converted into Thrift Stamps
and War Savings certificates need
not be recorded upon the assessors
blank. AS the interest and principal
are payable in 1928, neither is it nee
essary to make mention Of the invest
ments in the return to the income tax
collector.
They are, as stated, absolutely
free, and, as they also pay per cent
compound interest are the best Sc
curities that one can buy in these
troubled times.

THE GOVERNMENT
CALLS FOR FLOUR

The United States Food Admins
tration has notified every -four mill N
the country that it desires to buy at
least 80 per cent of is output. This
reserve holding is to simplify the han
ding of supplies for the Army and
Navy and to insure regular supply
of -four at favorable loading points
for export to the allies.
Each mill will be notified at least
two weeks in advance of the percent
age required for the ensuing period
of 80 days.
This 80 per cent of the milling out
put requisitioned by the Food Admin
istration will not interfere with the
usual method of bidding on Army and
Navy supplies. Where awards are
made to mills on such bids the amount
will be applied as part of the 80 per
cent required by the Food Admins
tration.
Through a reserve stock of -four
which will be held at all times by the
Food Administration, -four can be
shipped to any point in the United
States where a shortage may occur.
This encouragement is designed 10
prevent congestion and inequalities in
stocks of -four and thus to ease the
freight situation. 1t represents just
one step more in the stabilization of
food supplies of the American people.
