IS STATE BUSTED?

Our state bank examiner makes the
statement that he is not able to make
a call of the state banks, for the rea-
son that there is no money in the
hands of his department to pay post

possible that tie present adminis-ra-
ton has been so extravagant with our
state funds that necessary postage to
about the amount of SIS cannot be

This is a story about great pacing
mare which is not temperamentaL.
That's one of the reasons she's a great
mare. Other reasons are her breeding
and the fact she has speed and great
racing heart.
The mare is Miss Harris NJ. who
last year set a new mark for pacing
mares by stepping mile in 200. Even
more wonderful than this was her
race record for the year. She won
IL ont OF Is races in the free-for-all
class against the greatest PAGERS of
the year. finishing second one year
and poorer than second only twice.
And the reason for her great endur-
ance was because she did not have

REGENTS MAY
PICK HEAD OF:
SLOPE NORMAL
Permanent President for Dickin.
inson Institution May Be
Selected This Week ~

Secretary Charles Liessman Of the
state board of regents left this after
noon for Fargo, where an important
meeting of the board will be held on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Probably the most important matter
to be taken up will be the selection Of
president for the new Dickinson
normal, which is to open next month
with a summer course. Supt. P. S.
Berg Of the Dickinson public schools
has been appointed acting president,
but no one seems to know whether he
will be perpetuated in this position.
The choice Of Berg, 1t is said. would
be generally popular on the Slope.
The regents also probably will def
nitely consider the erection of an ad-
dition to the science building at the
agricultural college. An appropriation
Of $4,000 was made for this purpose
at the 1917 legislative session, but
nothing has been done to date. The
addition is badly needed, and it is
not improbable that plans and specifi-
cations will be ordered submitted by
the regents at this meeting.

|REVIEW OF SEED
AND FEED RATES
Discrimination Between Z East.
bound and West.bound
49, Rates Is Reported

In response to complaints from
number of Northern Pacific points
west of the river which have called
the North Dakota railway commits
sion's attention to the fact that
higher rate is charged for seed and
feed shipments west-bound than. for
the same commodities going east, the
rail board has filed with the inter
state commerce commission. a formal
petition for a hearing on this subject.
Efforts to negotiate the controversy
with the Northern Pacific have not
been wholly successful, although the
railway company has conceded the
east-bOund rate on west-bO4nd ship
ments OF seed and feed going TO the
various county commissions which
purchased seed and feed under the
state bonding act. No speh icOnces'
sion has been made for the Individual
purchaser, who, as a, consequence,
pays from one to 1lscents per- hundred
more for the seed and feed which he
brings in than, it costs, to ship the
