1913. Prior to the enactment of this
law the building and loans suffered
considerable neglect due to the lack
of sufficient examining force. Many
building and loans were examined
only every two years Under such
scant supervision the conduct of the
business of the various building and
loans of the State has been left very
largely to the management of the
officers and directors. 1t is a pleas
ure to testify that the great major
ity of them have been ably and hon
estly administered. Abuses, how
ever, in some cases, have crept in
which should be corrected by proper
legislation.
THE rapid growth in numbers and
in the volume of assets has also de-
veloped a situation which demands
an enlargement Of powers and cor
responding increase of the supervis-
ory powers of the department
Doubtless the Commission which is
now engaged in the codification and
revision of the banking laws will give
due attention to the laws governing
the creation and operation of build
ing and loans.
1T is respectfully suggested that
provision should be made for the in.

URGE TREATY
BE RATIFIED
American Chamber of Com
merce of London Cables
L. S. Senators

London, Dec. 24.-The American
Chamber of Commerce of London
has addressed identical messages to
United States Senator'S Lodge and
Hitchcock on the subject of the rati-
fication of the Peace Treaty.
THE failure of the United States
to ratify the Treaty and enter into
working arrangements with the Allies
is causing our motives for entering
the war and our hesitation in going
into the reconstruction plans TO lie
misrepresented and misunderstood" 3"
the messages said.
"Am erica owes 1t to herself as
well as to the world to come to the
help of the disorganized and starv-
ing portions of Europe. The inter-
national machinery started by the
Peace Conference is falling to pieces.
All actual progress towards peace is
checked, and peoples are slowly
drifting towards famine and anarchy.
which can be remedied If the United
States will decide quickly and assume
her responsibilities. Business. manu-
facture. transportation and even agri-
culture are wholly or partly para
lyzed.
Whether the Covenant be ratified
as it stands or with reservations is
infinitely less important than that
some international working arrange
ment he agreed on which will re-
move the uncertainty and enable pri-
Vate enterprise, upon which the main
burden of reconstruction must fall,
to get to work without further delay.
I'VE, therefore. urge you to use
your utmost endeaVors to secure
ratification of the Treaty, with such
reservations as may have to be made
to break the present deadlock"

Stay Away from People with
Coughs and Colds.

"Avoid crowds if you want to
avoid Influenza" says Association
for Improving the Conditions of
New York.
Keep your hands clean, drink
plenty of fresh water; sleep with
windows open; eat three uniform
meals a day including good
breakfast.
People who have catarrh or fire.
quent colds invite Influenza, de-
clares a prominent Kentucky
druggist.
The membrane of the throat
and nose is raw, sore and tender,
and makes a lovely abiding place
for germs to thrive and multiply.
He advises an inexpensive home
made remedy that will bring relief
in less than day and will stop all
discharge and sooth and heal the
inflamed membrane in few days.
Thousands are making this be-
hefcial remedy at home and any
one who has catarrh or a cold can
do the same.
Pour three-quarters of an ounce
of Mentholized Arcine into pint
bottle, then fill the bottle with
water that has been boiled.
Gargle the throat as directed
and snuff or spray the liquid into
the nostrils twice daily. It's a
simple way to get rid of cold and
catarrh and keeps the nasal pas
sage and throat clean and healthy.
Nearly all druggists dispense
Mentholized Arcine in vials con-
tanning exactly three-quarters of
an ounce, which is all you need to
make q pint of this healthful me-
dicine.

CLOUD ON EVE

When You're Expecting Pleasure
Most, Look Out For
Pain.

When you're expecting pleasure
most look out for the pain said the
Tanlac Man.
Did YOU ever stop to consider
how frequertly and how amply the
truth of this old saying is demon
strated? How our lives, on the eve
of some expected sunshine and hap
piness, are darkened by the shadows
of distress and disease? How much
better would it be for us to prepare
a safeguard against the inroads of
ill-health by starting, when you feel
the first signs of approaching weak
ness.
when YOU get languid. loggy,
listless and have tired -out-all- the
time feeling, with no ambition or
energy. and suffer frequently from
headaches. backaches. dizziness and
depression of spirits, it is a mighty
good idea to try Tanlac."

follows:
During the last three days of this
week northwestern North Dakota has
been having heavy rains, in some To-
which was accompanied by strong
wind with some hail. In the terri
tories where rain was needed most, in
mos instances, there seems to have
been the heaviest rainfall. Rugby
and Pierce county got one or two very
heavy rains. Land in Mountrail coun-
ty has been thoroughly soaked. AS I
wrote you recently this rain was need
ed badly, although crops were suffer
ing but little on account of the dry
spell. The late sown grain needed it
badly but with this rain 1t will come
on in fine shape. The winter rye is
bound to be a short crop from the
fact that it is thin OF the ground and
the weather has been dry during the
time it has been heading, yet this rain
is sure to help it materially; it will
not. average more than about half a
crop at that. l believe.

conditions-on the other hand this
good rain has come just at the time

other rain such as we hav just re-
