Leuchr, Of the Mill and Elevator AS.
ISOLATION, Makes Tour of Inspec-
ton and Appraises Property.

The North Dakota Mill and Eleva-
tor association, the agency by which
the NOnpartisan league expects to
place into operation its scheme of
state-owned terminal grain elevators
and flour mills, has made appraisals of
milling properties at Minot Drake
Oakes and Paramount, and will short
" make report of such appraisals to
the state industrial commission.
A. W. Leuchr of Fargo, secretary
of the association, made the inspec-
tlon trip to the four cities, and stated
today that the work so far conducted
by himself and j. A. McGovern, man
ager of the association, has been pure
~ Of a preliminary nature, with view
to the purchase by the state of prop
critics with which to begin the state
system.
For the purpose Of establishing the
system, the state legislature has auth
orized bond issue Of $5,O00,O00, in
addition to which there will be avail
able such other credits as will be Civ
en- by the Bank of North Dakota, the
financial agency that has been created
for the purpose of financing the in
dustrial scheme.
No definite policy with respect to
the establishment of the terminal ele-
vator and milling system has been
adopted, so far as the public is aware
by the state industrial commission
but it is understood that in some quar-
ters scheme is favored under which
a terminal elevator and flour mill
would be established convenient to
each Of the four corners of the stae
such mill to supply that immediate
territory. In addition it is proposed
to build central terminal market
which will be the biggest elevator and
milling center, and through which will
be cleared the excess products of the
sectional mills.
Of course, this is all purely prelim-
mary, and may not be governing when
the industrial commission finally elects
to make public it's policy.

Bobby was enjoying the roses in

until he CHANGED to poke his wee
freckled nose deep into the heart of
a blossom which sheltered great

Bobby fled to his grandmother
skirts When his sobs were quieted
he explained:

The colonel was known to be OF
very choleric and uncertain temper

when invited to dine at the old boy S

the first floor and, sure enough, when
it came to carving the roast, a blunt
knife upset the colonels equilibrium
He strobe to the door and flung the
knife downstairs after the servant
Augustus with great presence of mind
seized the roast and threw that down

When Vas First
School Opened
in Richmond?

The first schoolmaster of Richmond
was a young man. name unknown,
who gave work in reading and writ
only, to the children Of the very first
pioneers of the village. Even these
two subjects were too much for him,
however, and he soon left Richmond.
His school was located in the south
part of town
Later Atticus Siddall taught school
in the city. and in 1922 the teacher
was Nathan Smith, Of New England,
who was considered a very good teach
er. and patronized by everybody. The
house in which he taught was a one
story frame. which stood for many
years afterward, at the corner OF
Pearl and Walnut, now Fifth and
South A.
In this schoolhouse originated an
institution which helped to educate
the pioneers almost as much as their
schools; a debating society. John
Finley, author of THE Hoosier Nest"
Dwight S. Anthony, James Liston, a
DR.. Pugh, and Nathan Smith, were the
charter members. Finley, considered
the village poet, wrote a satire upon
them.
ID. S. A, D. S. A. though you have
little to say,
1t is always a pleasure to hear It;
When you shoot in the dark
Though you don't hit the mark,
You're apt to approach very near it.
James Liston, James Liston, no won
der you're Kissed on.
Your skull is as thick as sole leather;
Your logical talents
Have been weighed in the balance
And found to be light as a feather
DR.. Pugh, DR.. Pugh, pray what bust
ness have you
To harrangue from polemical rostrums
For in truth / declare,
You had better prepare
Your physics, your drugs, and your
nostrums.
Nathan Smith, Nathan Smith, your
rhetorical pith,
shall neither blame nor applaud.
For in truth l must own
That l let you alone,
For fear of your ferrule and rod.
I'm conclusion, must give the
writer a rub" says the young poet.
''Rhymer Jack, Rhymer Jack, you

Or deny at least half you have said
Ten chances to one, you will pay for
your fun,
And tbs well if they don't break your
head"

Thrift is Just Efficiency
BY James H. Collins.

The average family income in Great Britain
is $1,000, or 1926 per capita, yearly. Out Of that
income John Bull succeeded, during the war, in
teaching two members of every British family to
save and invest in war bonds and stamps, $14O
each, according to an article in Printers Ink.
That is, each family saved more than one-fifth
its income.
A similar comparative saving by the hundred
millions of people in the United States invested
in Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps would
add tremendously to the Nations available sup
ply of capital, and would transform the United
States from nation of spenders to a nation of
savers.
The results in Great Britain were accomplish
ed by practical efficiency suggestons-how to
save on gas, laundry bills, cooking soap, coal.
food etc. A national organization known as the
Salvage Club was formed with branches every
where, gathering up bones, paper, cans, tin foil,
shoes, clothing, and other things usually con-
signed to the ash can. This organization pub
lished a monthly newspaper called Salvage,
printed on paper made from recovered waste ma
terials One weeks bones from the average
household was found to yield edible fat and also
ingredients to make explosives for several shells.
A quarter of pound of waste paper made
charger case. Thousands of boy and girl scouts
helped gather waste materials. Business con-
Germs rooted out their old account books, letter
files, and documents, selling them for waste
paper. Scrap metal of all kinds was collected and
sold, and one junk dealer adopted a receipt for
scrap metal showing how much the person who
saved and turned it in had contributed to help
make war munitions.
Thrift is just efficiency after ALL It goes
much further than the saving of pennies or dol
lars. 1t is the saving of materials and time,
which run into money very quickly.
