COUNTRY PRESS
HELPS WIN WAR

"North Dakota could not have gone
to war withoutthe country newspa
per. That may sound trifie strong,
but it approaches very close to the
TRUTH" said Adjutant General G. An
gus Fraser today.
without the tens of thousands of
dollars worth Of free publicity which
these country newspapers gave US;
without their ever prompt and ready
response to our request for more
space, even though it meant tearing
up the forms at the last moment and
throwing out a good news story, we
never could have successfully in SO
short a time modified 10000 men.
'This Office owes a big debt to the
country press, and the obligation is
still accommodating. In the matter Of
our recent notice to soldiers to make
application for information blanks,
for instance: / believe every country
newspaper in the state carried that
notice on the front page. AS a re-
suit instead of having to spend weeks
in reaching. these boys, we got word
to them almost over night, and the
next day applications began rolling
in.
81 hav been too busy" continued
the general, Ito write each one Of
these newspaper men the personal
letter of appreciation to which he is
| entitled. But l wish to say through
the press and to make it strong that
no one factor in North Dakota con-
tributed so much othe winning of the
war as did the loyal country press,
and want these boys to know that
the adiutant generals Office is not
lacking in gratitude.

FARGO EMPLOYERS
OBJECT T0PAYlNC

It is reported here that number
of large Fargo employers of labor
have declined to comply with the as
sessment feature of the workmen's
compensation act under which fund
for the protection of. injured workers
is to be accumulated. These employ
ers allege, it is said, that the method
of assessing employers for the levying
Of insurance premiums is discrimin-
atory and unreasonable. It is con-
tended, it is said, that some compare
lively non-hazardous trades are as
sessed at higher relative rate than
those generally recognized as ultra
hazardous.
It is probable that in the near fu-
ture the attorney general will be di-
rected to bring action against en-
ployers who have failed to pay the
premiums demanded by the compen-
sation bureau.

DAIRY COWS SAVE
MANY SLOPE FARMS

Bismarck, N. D., July Thirty
South Dakota farmers with an eye to
a bargain - especially those Of Ger
man-Russian extraction = are flock
ing in in great numbers to the Slope
counties with view to picking cheap
lands there. In former, years Of
drouth many farms have been secri-
feed, and the South Dakotans EVIL
IDENTIFY have been of the opinion that
history would repeat itself. They are
however, meeting disappointment.
While the drouth has hit many
farmers hard, it has found compare
lively few who are not in a financial
position to weather the storm. This
is due largely to the fact that dairy
ing has made rapid strides in the
Slope country during the last five
years. The daily or semi-weekly
cream check has become a steady
source of income. Many a farmer,
milking only a few head of cattle,
has a certain revenue of thousand
dollars or more from this source, and
a majority of those who are dairy:
ing were provident enough in the
spring to plant considerable acre
age Of corn. Corn is making bet
ter than average crop and will 60 q
long ways toward solving the feed
problem.
There is very little improved land
on the market in the Slope. Farm:
ers generally have too much invested
to let it 60 by the boards for one
seasons bad luck. The visitors from
South Dakota and other points are,
however, picking up nice tracts of
wild land here and there, and indica-
tons are that more ground will be
broken on the Slope this fall and
next spring than ever before in its
history.
The truth of the assertion that It's
an i'll wind that blows no one good"
is proved by the fact that land which
will yield little or no crop this sum
mer will enjoy all of the benefits Of
summer-fallowing, and If conditions
are favorable to blowing this fall,
large areas should be in splendid con-
dition for planting to winter rye
one crop which never seems to make
a complete. failure in this section.
Slope farmers are good shortsmtll,
and already they are turning their
attention to the prospects for an
other season. There will be more
fall blowing; more careful rolling
and packing of seed beds next spring,
and. after four years of only fair
,rops. the turn of the wheel should
~ ali the laws of averages make
next year one of abnormal yields /
which will more than repay those who /
stick for the losses they have sus- /
aimed.

BANK OF DAKOTA
READY TO BEGIN

The Bank of North Dakota today
served notice on more than 700 state
banks and trust companies and 300
or 400 national banks operating in this
state that it is ready to do business.
State banks wishing to open an &C.
count with the Bank of North Dakota
and desiring to accept deposits from
the Bank of North Dakota, as deposit
tary banks, were advised that it would
not be necessary for them to furnish
depositary bonds, inasmuch as they
are protected through the depositors'
guaranty fund act. ~ -&@
National banks were informed that
in order to qualify as depositary
banks for the Bank Of North Dakota
they will be required to file with the
bank depositary bond which will be
in lieu of present existing bonds guar
anteeing the deposit Of public funds.
Deposits will be made by the Bank
of North Dakota with depositary
banks from time to time as funds may
be available therefor. Such .depos-
it's will be subject to check, or on
time deposit, and draw interest al
rates to be determined by existing
financial conditions. Sinking fund
deposits will be charged at higher
rate of interest than general funds
and will be deposited, so far as pos.
sible, for a specified time. .
Banks desiring to associate with
the bank Of North Dakota will be re.
auired to file certified copy of 8
resolution to be adopted by Their
board Of directors granting the presi.
dent, vice-president and cashier Of
such associate bank authority to Dor
row from the Bank Of North Dakots
or to rediscount loans.
The Bank of North Dakota serves
notice on local banks that it will re-
ceive no Individual deposits from

deposits of that nature there will b'

beautiful gift was given to her by the

Here's one by DR.. Crane. A man
got job as carpenter in shipyard
during the war. He knew nothing
about carpentry, but the friend who
got him the place said: THAT'S all
right. You don't have to know any
thing. Just pick up board from one
pile of lumber, take it over to another,
rest a while, and then take it back"
He FLOWED instructions. At the end
of the week he drew his pay, So day.
The next day he noticed man follow
ing him about as he toted his board.
This alarmed him. He suspected he
was being watched and would be dis
charged. At last in desperation he
accosted the man. "Say, what are
you following me around for?" he
asked. "Why, don't you know who l
ann" returned the man. "No, who
are you?" "Why I'm your assist
ant"

The women of Chicago are planning
a fight on the prohteers Of the country
by a boycott and thus reduce the high
cost of living. Such movement is
now under way by Chicago women OF
considerable social standing, who are
planning the formation of national
anti-prohteering league. It is plan
ned to enroll more than 100000 fam
lies in Chicago and then send dele
gates to other larger cities to form
branches. Some time. ago the women
of Chicago started boycott on eggs
at time when the cold storage fell
lows were holding the country for ex-
orbitant prices for eggs with the re-
suit that they soon beat the market
down several cents dozen. II the
women all over the country would
adopt boycott system along certain
lines of foodstuffs they could make
the profteers come down on their
knees. Take meats, eggs, cereals and
these things for instance. A nation
wide boycott by the women would re-
suit in much good along these lines:

from other sources and instead of the

William Jennings Bryan is making
some predictions in regard to the
newspapers of the country. He says
that eventually they will all be under
government control. In an address
before the Portland, Oregon, Press
Club, he said: "The day of the news
paper of a partisan nature is waning"
'Some day all news will be issued
through government channels and will
have the approval of the proper au-
thorities before it is printed" Bryan
says he favors the idea of government
newspapers provided they give impair
TALLY the views of each political party,
as presented by someone in authority.
The scheme is not feasible one from
any angle you look at it and will not
be tolerated. Who ever heard of any
political party giving out the truth?
By putting newspapers under govern
ment control you put muzzle on free
speech, shut off legitimate criticism
and build up great press bureau that
would have leaning toward the
party in power. Public control OF
newspapers is the last thing we want
in a democratic country to our notion.
What we need is the truth but we
want that truth told by the newspa-
psrs and not by political Office holders.

ment like adamant. If this is the case
the treaty will fail of ratification as it
takes two-thirds to ratify.

The government yesterday granted
a half rate for the shipping Of feed
and hay into the dry region west Of
the Missouri river. For shipping live
stock to the grazing lands in Mime
sofa and Wisconsin the full fare is to
be charged, although they may be
shipped back to the range later tor
one-third the rates. The concession
by the government helps considerably
but it might have given the farmers
a reduced rate for shipping stock to
grazing lands in other states. These
farmers are losing lot of money on
account vf drouth and need the help
the government railroad administra-
ton can give them.

The Courier-News Tuesday slop-
ped over itself in a column article in
which it doomed and presented Gov.
Frazier as a candidate for president.
The idea is simply foolish as the gov
ernor is too small a man to hold down
the job Of governor of North Dakota
let alone the presidency. 1t takes a
man of some ability to hold down the
presidents job. We presume Mr..
Frazier will be put up by the Townley
faction next year and may win out.
1t will be tough on the state. We have
been Inundated enough. Last time
this state went daffy over Robert NJ.
LaFollette, and has been sorry ever
since. No wonder North Dakota is
called the rube state. We have the
title coming to US.
