EMPLOYERS GET BUSY

The orkmen's Compensation Bu-
reau isnotifying the $4,000 employers
in the state to get ready for the new
law which becomes operative July 1.
No matter how large or how small an
employer Of labor an individual or cor
poration is, unless they avail them
selves Of the protection Of the law,
they become liable for full damages
IN case of accident or death to their
employees. The North Dakota law is
recognized as the foremost of it's kind
in the world. The cost to employers
will be far less and the benefit to en-
pIoyes many times greater than under
the private compensation insurance
plans OF other states.

STATE INSURES ITS OWN BUILD.
INGS

l., A. K Aslakson, deputy insurance
commissioner, is in St. Paul, studying
the Minnesota system Of insuring pub
lie buildings. After August I, North
Dakota will insure it's own buildings
instead of letting private companies
reap the harvest of the premiums.
Minnesota, Wisconsin and several 9TH
er western states have the same sys-
tenn. Instead Of paying the premium
to the companies, the state will pay
them into an insurance fund, from
which all losses will be paid. With
the overhead expense cut down al
most to nothing, the department will
save much money to the state.

WESTERN PART OF STATE DRY

WESTERN PART OF STATE DRY
Nine Of the twenty weather stations
in the state reporting to the agricul-
tural department weather bureau at
Bismarck, say they have had some
rain since the 31st Of May, but there
has not been over half on inch of rain
at more than three Of the nine sta
tons. IN the western part of the
state, especially in the northwestern
part there has been no real rain since
the middle of May. The heavy show
ers of Decoration Day did not reach
that section of the state. It is hoped
that conditions may better soon, as
the northwest fields need moisture
soon.

NOBODY? NO-bod-ee!

Two days after Kositzky spoke at
his home town of Moffit, Walter
Thomas Mills spoke there. Mills had
a crowd five times as large as the
traitorous official. Mills took q vote
on who believe in the ISLANDERS spread
by Kositzky, and not one of his old
neighbors would say they placed the
slightest faith in his stores.

. ,KLUMSY KARI, AGAIN

State Auditor Kositzky, stumping
the state against the laws passed by
the farmers, hired his wife to do his
work while he is out-the state paying
the bill. He set her to work trying to
collect tax that was taken out Of his
hands by the last Legislature, and her
work was useless and made all kinds
Of trouble for the Tax Commission, to
whom the Legislature assigned the
work. Looks as though Karl was so
busy cussing the League he has not
