CARLOAD Of DODGE
CARS ARRIVE HERE

The first carload Of 1919 Dodge
cars to arrive here this spring were
unloaded on Monday of this week
by the Bowbells Motor Sales Co.,
and have been stored at the Motor
Inn until they are sold which will
not be long. This carload was Or
dered some time during the winter,
but the local dealers were competed
to wait their turn, and consider
themselves fortunate in securing
the cars even now On their way
to this city they could have been
stopped at half dozen points and
disposed of to other dealers who
had orders placed with the factory,
but were waiting for their turn.
The Dodge cars are attracting more
attention from the public in Bow
bells and vicinity than any cars
ever shipped in, and we are assured
that just as soon as the roads are
fit for travel they will be snapped up
by local people. On account of
this being only the second season
during which Dodge cars have been
sold here there are not very many
cars of that, make in use here now,
but we find that practically every
owner of a car now insists that the
next car he buys will be Dodge,
and it will not be long before they
will be as numerous as Fords.

1854 DAKoTANs a
GET !. S. HELP

Washington, d. c. May 15.-The
final report to the United States de-
partment of agriculture from the
federal seed grain loan office at
Great Falls, Mont, discloses that
$2,344,S97 has been lent to farm
ers in Montana, North Dakota and
Washington state under the regu-
lations announced when the pres
ident's $5,00O,o00 fund was set
aside for this purpose. Montana
farmers receiving loans numbered
5,284; 1854 were thus aided in
North Dakota; and 38 in Washing
ton. The loans in Montana totaled
$1,847,36O on 369,472 acres OF
land; in North Dakota, $483,567 on
96,714 acres; and in Washington.
$13,97O on 2,794 acres.
Applicants for loans were requir-
ed to use seed and methods approx
ed by the department of agriculture.
The primary object of the loans was
not to stimulate the planting of an
increased acreage of grain for the
drought areas, or even necessarily
to assure the planting Of a normal
acreage, but rather to assist in It'd
ing farmers over the period OF
stress caused. by previous crop fail
ures. a.4.

inferred at the Bowbells cemetery
east of town beside that of the hus.
band of the deceased, who passed
away only few months ago.
The following hymn and accom-.
panying poem, written as a tribute
to friend, we clipped from reli-
gious publication and we take the
liberty of inserting them in loving
remembrance of our friend, Mrs.
Campbell, who was loved by all
who knew her:
"Some day the silver cord will break,
And l no more, as now, shall sing !;
, But oh! the joy when I shall wake
Within the palace of the King.
Then I shall see Him face to face,
And a. tell ed ), the story. Saved by
O, friend beloved, across the deep
That stretches wide between our
lives and thine,
We fain would send our tribute tho
no sign
May tell us if thy present life to
this
Be linked by sweet and subtle men,
ories,
Or if thy heart that beat respon-
sive here
To friendships claims can, in that
far-off sphere
Feel earth poor offerings swell
thy heavenly bliss.
Thy faith hath cheered us oft, thy
zeal has stirred
Within our hearts new longings
for the true,
The pure, the good; our souls have
risen anew
To nobler aim and effort at thy
word,
Grateful we own thy life's sweet
ministry,
And thank our God when we re-
member thee.

her girlhood days there. In the
wear 1900"she came to Ca,ndo, N. D.

there, and also taught music: It
was here that she was united in
marriage to Crawford J, Campbell.
To this union were born two chill
dren, both OF whom survive the de-

age Is and Phyllis, age 13. In
1903 the Campbell family moved
from Cando to Fillmore, Sask., and
after years stay there, the family
came to Bowbell. where it resided
UP to the present time. The de-
ceased had been in fairly good
health until last September when
she took i'll, and spent much time
in her bed. On Jan. is of this
year she was taken to the St. Bar

no hope for her recovery was enter
tanned from the start, and she grad
ually grew weaker until her death.
The deceased was of a kind and low
ing disposition, and had the admir-
alton of all who knew her. She
was a member of the M. e. church,
and always a devout worker for
this institution. She always took
a prominent part in local musical
affairs until her health prevented
her from doing SO, and was a musi-
clan of considerable ability. In her
death Bowbells loses a resident
whose place cannot be taken in the
hearts Of our residents, and she will
never be forgotten oy our people:

in the coal mining operations with
R. w. Beighle, his brother, who is a

"strip mining" They were at
work along a ledge of coal, when a
mass of several tons of rock and
dirt slid from the top of the ledge

OBJECTS TO BEING
CALLED HOWARD TAFT


A woman giving her name as Mrs.
Chamberlain was arrested In this
city last Monday afternoon on the
charge Of being insane, and after
an examination berore the insanity
board she was ordered taken to
the state hospital at {. jamestown.
The state transportation officer came
after her Wednesday. morning. The
woman, who claims to be from Min
neapolis, arrived here about three
weeks ago, and says she came for
the purpose of improving the town
by building numerous factories and
other institutions which would en-
.ploy thousands of people. She said
she was hired by the government,
but was working under orders from
God. 4, For about two weeks before
her arrest she staid at the Richard
son hotel in this city. and although
she acted strangely and did not pay
regularly for her board, Mr.. Rich
ardson did not: think much-of the
matter ut the time. What really
did stir Mr.. r., up and he will prob
ably never get over it. was the mat
ter OF the woman calling him How

tho insanity board that he was will
ing to stand most anything from
his guests, but he could not stand

man not mistaken Mr.. Richardson

RULES ANNOUNCED
FOR STATE BANK

Bismarck, N. D., May 15.-The
Bank OF North Dakota will not en-
ter into competition with state and
national banks for commercial bust
ness; it will accept no individual
accounts, from within the state, ex-
cept such as may come through as
sociate banks, but it will encourage
such accounts from without the
state, as a means of increasing the
funds available for the development
of North Dakota.
The Bank of North Dakota will
not establish a branch bank in each
county, but will operate through
banks already established in the
various counties; it will not single
out one bank in each county to be-
come depository for any public
funds; 1t will not, for the present,
at least, draw in public funds from
banks in which they are now de-
posted, and it will make such with
drawals in the future only when it
may appear that one section has
more money than it may Immediate
ly need, while there is a shortage
in another region.
The Bank of North Dakota will
make associate national banks as
public funds, which are at present
deposited only in state banks. State
banks to become repositories for
public funds through the Bank OF
North Dakota need furnish no
bonds, inasmuch as all their depos-
its are guaranteed under the state
bank deposits guaranty act. The
bonds to be required of national
banks will be only those which
counties or other public depositors
have required in the past.
These are some of the definite
rules for the government OF the
Bank of North Dakota announced
Monday afternoon following an all
day conference between a special
committee of the North Dakota
Bankers association, the industrial
commission and the manager and
director general of the Bank OF
North Dakota. These three fac
tions agred upon all the details.
which, when placed in the form or
resolutions, were ratified by the in
dustrial commission.
In response to numerous requests
for information received from ma
tional banks, it was agreed that no
examination of these institutions by
the state examiner would be insist
ed upon, but that the Bank of North
Dakota would accept the certifica-
tion Of the federal reserve bank OF
\. minneapolis on national banks asso-
ciated with the state bank. The
federal reserve bank Of Minneapolis
some time ago designated its will
ingness to accept the certification OF
the state bank examiner as to con-
dition Of state banks, thus dispos-
ing of another question which has
been raised by banks which desire
cooperation with the BAN: OF North
Dakota.

IDEAL FARM LANDS
Minnesota Man at Last Found
What He Sought.
After Long Search, the Wondrous
Productiveness ofWestern Canada
Was Pointed Out, and He
Is Going There.

He farmed for number of years
near Window, Minnesota, and as Mr..
o. S. Marcy told it, he had done well.
He had made sufficient money to see
him and his wife through their re-
naming days.
'But there were the boys" said Mrs.
Marcy, .and six of them, too-some Of
the six not yet back from overseas
Yes, we are proud of them,'' the fond
mother said, "but, oh my, we had no
GIRL" and she bemoaned that These
boys had to be looked after. "Why not
settle them about you in your own
neighborhood? You have good land
there, splendid neighbors, and every
thing that might be desired"
'Yes, that is all true" replied this
estimable lady, but the land is so
high-priced we couldn't afford to buy
there. although worth every cent
asked for it. You see we have six
boys, and they are good one, too"
So, one day, three years ago, Mr.. and
Mrs. Marcy rugged up the automobile
for touring trip. They wanted to in
vestigate for the boys benefit. The
journey lasted for year. 1t took
them through Arizona with its varied
scenery, it's climatic and agricultural
attractions; into the canyons of Colo
RADIO they went, and the agricultural
possibilities there aroused a large
amount of interest. Still undecided,
down into the valleys of California the
automobile went. Fruit orchards were
plentiful, grain fields were attractive,
but the psychological time had not ar
rived. Reversing their, way, they
passed through Washington, Oregon

the rungs. These boards should be
about S inches wide and their length
should be slightly less than that of
the runners of the drag.
The chain by means of which the
drag is drawn should be about s feet
long and its links should be made
of three-eighths-inch steel. On light
drags two trace chains may be used
for this purpose.
Many road drags constructed as
above described, without metal-cutting
edges or other notifications, have been
very satisfactorily used where the con-
ditions were favorable. 1t is evident,
however, that such drags are effective
only on comparatively soft road sur
faces, and to diminish this limitation
and. also to increase the life of the
drag it is very desirable to provide
metal-cutting edge for the front rum
ner. An excellent edge OF this kind
may be made from a strip of iron or
steel about one-fourth inch thick and
about four inches wide, and even old
wagon tires or WORKOUT grader blades
have been very satisfactory.
