BANKERS ASKED
TO BACK SCHEME
TOGET SETTLERS

North Dakota bankers can work
out plan which win start a healthy
and increasing immigration to the
state, according to letters sent out
to the members OF the North Dakota
Bankers association by the commit
tee on immigration OF the associa-
ton, consisting Of w. l.. Forbes Of
Gilby, O. #. kellogg of New Salem,
and w. IT. Eckes Of Wahpeton.
''Since our appointment as the
committee on immigration, we have
given the subject of what can be
done by the association to bring
settlers into the state very serious
and thorough consideration" says
the letter. Great damage has been
done to the immigration movement
to our state by methods which
have created a very large body OF
dissatisfied and discouraged land
buyers, who have not been treated
fairly and who are anxious to sell
out and go back to the eastern states
they came from, at the first oppor-
tunity, and many find il impossible
to do this without great personal
loss on account of the exorbitant
prices at which they have purchased
lands, and Inducements to purchase
which they find cannot be made
good
The committee Is working TO over
come the damage already done, ac-
cording to Secretary Macfadden, Of
the state bankers association, who
explained that the plan Of the COM
mittee is chiefly to spend some
money in advertising for land buy
ers in a way that will attract cor
respondence with prospective buy
ers, the correspondence to be con-
Quoted to a point that viii develop
just how much in earnest the pros
pect" is and what his resources are.
This will be done by q series of stock
letters suitable to be sent in reply
to inquiries received as the result
Of the advertising campaign. When
Ii is apparent that the prospective
settler Is seriously considering COM
ing to the state to make his home,
the correspondence win then be turn
ed over TO q banker member of the
state association in the territory that
the party is interested in, who should
then take a personal interest in see
ing that prospective settler IS given
the consideration that will give him
a correct knowledge Of the country.
Your committee realizes that It
win take q considerable period of
time to overcome the damage done,
but believes that the bankers Of the
state can, by working together in
diligently and conscientiously, work
out plan which will start a healthy
and increasing immigration to the
state OF North Dakota and this com
mittee viii gladly take the lead in
this work but must have the hearty
assistance and cooperation OF very
large percentage Of the members of
the association to accomplish salts
factory results" concludes the let
ter.

tween the general and his men after
he had been relieved Of HIS command

It was an affecting scene when the
enlisted men OF the brigade head
quarters company came to his office
to say goodbye. The general. who
came up from the lowest private in
the national guard through 30 years
Of service, had preserved his front

tive reply when so impprtuned was:

adopted country and how extremely
careful he was that no suspicion
should rest on him. Ever since he
had been called to the border in 1916

The Compulsory Work Bureau OF
Delaware has handled 100 cases in the
two months Of its existence since July

Maryland has taken nine months to

Of the overwhelming amount Of work
faced by the State bureau. which has
a working force Of the same size as that
Of the Maryland bureau. namely. a di-
rector, lve inspectors. two stonograph-
ers and an offlce boy.

the enormous influx Of shipyard and
munition workers into Wilmington as
one reason for their being more work
law violators in this State than In Mary
land. The drifting labor Of the entire

Wilmington to the New England States.
