Banking ana Politics Don't Mix

Refusal of farmers to pay their post
dated checks and notes of SIC each for
two years dues in the North Dakota
Non-Partisan League has caused the
failure Of the Scandinavian bank Of
Fargo.
Thousands of farmers cancelled their
obligations in Montana, Idaho, Colo
RADIO and other western states, and the
bank had loaned S734 1874 on Non-Part-
isan League activities and is insolvent
The list of creditors of the Fargo
bank includes the following loans:-
Non-Partisan League. S14s,S24.36
Consumers Store company, $4,000;
League Exchange, $66 6,12s.2s; Publish
ers National Service bureau, SAT $50
06. The last three are classed as sub
sidiary corporations of the Non-Parti-
san League.
Leaders of the League are working
hard to get the farmers to put up their
pledges to finance the chain Of stores
the League is establishing.
No official statement has been made
by the League as to its relations with
the bank.

the question of securing temporary
hospital for Lamar and surrounding
territory to fill the needs of the COM
munity during the period until the
new hospital can be built.
/ There was general discussion Of
various plans that have been proposed,
and on the matter being put to vote
it was decided that the most feasible
plan presented was to buy the Central
hotel and remodel it, provided the
necessary funds could be raised.
On motion of DIR. Shelter the finance
committee named at the former meet
ing composed of c. r. Strain, +. NJ.
Wilson, l.. Writ Markham, c. NJ. Lee

ed at nine, Chairman w. j. Johnston
and three others to be named by him

ton in working order. The board has
not been completed as yet but will
soon be, and then steps will be taken
to get matters moving so as to have
a hospital running as soon as possible.

Old Clothes Week, October 1922.

A nation wide campaign is under
way for the Near East sufferers-not
for funds, but for clothes. Armenian,
Syrian and other women, children and
men-victims of Turkish persecution
are desperately in need of clothing and
shoes to be sent over by the American
Committee for Armenian and Syrian
Relief. The ship is due to sail from
New York for the Orient, and people
all over the United States are being
asked to donate clothing which they
do not need, to be used in clothing the
women and children and men of Ar
menia. Shoes must be tied in pairs.
There is no call more urgent nor
more worthy than this. Lamar people
and people Of the surrounding coun-
try are earnestly urged to bring their
surplus or used clothing to the Red
Cross rooms at the city hall not later
than October 81, where it will be TAX
en- charge of by Miss Bess Lawless
of the local Red Cross and will be sent
by her to the Armenian Relief head
quarters, No. Madison Ave, New
York, N. Y.

Strikers Demands

The Mountain States Mineral Age
published at Denver, this month will
carry story giving the full demands
Of the coal miners and the reply Of the
coal operators to the miners in reject
ing the demands. 1t may not be gen
orally known but all contracts in the
West with coal miners are based on
the agreements as they effect the CEN
tral field. so that under the proposed
strike order all miners in the United
States are to be called out.
The miners are demanding flat in
crease of 60 per cent in wages. a 6
hour day from bank to bank, day
week, no automatic penalty clause, and
double shifts abolished. They insist
the present contracts which were to
be in force until peace is declared to
be null and void.
The operators rejected these de-
mands on the grounds that to grant
them would lay an additional burden
on the coal consumers Of this nation
Of not less than "a billion dollars a
year; that to make demands at this
time is a violation Of existing con-
tracts; that reducing the hours of work
and denying the right to the operator
to work more than one shift is a clear
intention to reduce production; that
the committee sent to deal with the
operators has no power Of negotiation
and that it is un-American for them
to come with excessive demands and
say if not granted just as presented
there will be general strike.
In all dealings between miners and
operators in the past the committees
had full authority to deal. The miners
convention which sent this committee
denied the right to deal to the COM
mittee it having no authority save to
get just what was demanded as above
stated.
The minutes of the miners conven-
ton bring out clearly the fact that the
conservative members did not approve
Of this program and that It was put
over by the !. w. w. element which
would not trust the scale committee
in its dealings with the operators.
Further, Acting President Lewis, more
than once called attention Of delegates
in the Miners Convention to the fact
men were in the room participating in
the voting who were not delegates to
the convention.
II the miners persist in calling a
strike on the first Of the month it will
mean suffering to a great many this
winter and probably the closing Of
many large manufacturing plants thus
throwing thousands Of men and women
out of employment,

CITY ELECTRIC PLANT
Lamar City Council Begins Prepara-
tions to Construct Their Own
Lighting System.

The city council and the representa-
: svss of the Intermountain r. L. & p.
u. have at last agreed to disagree in
part at least and the city has publish
ed call for bids for furnishing ma
chinery for the new city plant. After
several months of negotiations with
out getting together the company fin
ally made its best proposition which
was SO far off from the estimates made
by the city's engineers-espccially as
concerns the old machinery-that they
were asked to make new proposition
for the transmission lines and real
estate and keep the machinery them
selves. They insist that they can use
the old machinery themselves in other
plants and place value about five
times what our junk men can see in
it. 1t is therefore probable that the
old junk that has furnished Lamar
more lightless nights than any other
city in the United States has had in
the past two years, will now be NOV
ed to some other town unless the So
ciety for the Protection of Orphans
and Innocents steps in and interferes.
1t takes some time to secure mach
inery now even after it is ordered and
the city mas begun advertising for the
necessary equipment at once and will
make the earliest possible delivery one
of the features of the contract. The
other part of the construction plans
will be delayed until the company
makes its proposition for the sale of
its transmission lines and real estate.
If these can be occurred at anywhere
near what the city's consulting engin-
eer thinks a fair price it will material
ly expedite the day when Lamar can
operate its own light and power plant
and have the city lighted as it should
be. There are many problems to be
solved in the deal and not the least
Of these is the question Of what is to
be done with regard to the heating of
the business section of the city. The
location Of the power plant is directly
involved in this and the question of
economically handling the fuel. At
least it will be great consolation to
most of our long suffering citizens to
know that start has been made and
that steps are being taken to relieve
the worst obstruction that exists at
present to Lamar's growth and pros
perity. The one respect in which La
mar has been beh.nd the era for the
past twenty years is its light plant
and when the right start is made we
will be compensated by having the best
ever.

homes and other improvements. 1t is
fortunate for Lamar to have this ad-
dition started at this time as it means
the addition of a number Of new resi-
dence houses to our city, which is the
city's great need at this time. These
lots are for sale at reasonable price
and the restrictions placed in the deeds
make sure that only good residences
will be built there. r. L. Christy is

HARVESTING 200
ACRES SUGAR BEETS
May Valley Farmer Harvesting Large
Acreage This Season.

Anthony Gardner ard son, Phil, are
harvesting what is probably the larg-
est sugar beet acreage of any in the
valley. The Gardners have two hund-
red acres of beets and it is estimated
that according to the tonnage already
marketed, the yield will be from Is
to Is tons per ccre. This will mean
yield of better than 5000 or a total
grass valuation of $4,000. While the
expense this year is unusually heavy
the net profit from this beet field will
be no mean sum. The land on which
these beets are grown is located in
May Valley northeast of Wiley and
is valued at about S225 per acre. Be
sides the value of the beets, the tops
are considered worth sl.00 per ton
and this would bring the total amount
produced from this tract OF land up
to better than s33,O0O.
The Gardners are heavy feeders of
cattle and sheep and are able to turn
all the by-products of the beet crop
into a profit.-Wiley Journal.
