WHEAT FINANCE
COMMITTEE REPORT

The finance committee, appointed at
recent meeting Of farmers and bus
mess men, to consider the wheat hold
ing movement, have been unable to ac-
complish their purpose, due to condi-
tions as they exist at this time.
Application was made to five Life
Insurance Companies fors funds to fin
ance the movement, but the Life In
surance Companies are restricting
loans to real estate only, and in many
instance are not able to care for their
increased number of applications for
loans Of this nature.
The banks of the county are making
every effort to be of as great assist
ance as possible, and in the opinion Of
the committee, the solution of this
problem rests upon an inclination on
the part of the farmer and business
man to cooperate; the farmer will
ing to sell a portion Of his crop i'm
mediately and pay up in part, and the
business man willing to cooperate by
accepting a part payment at this
time.
The committee has held four meet
ings and has worked diligently, and
has made every effort to provide So
luton. The plan mentioned by this
committee has spread to. other coun-
tries, and much good will eventually
materialize from the activities Of this
committee.
Members of committee:
M. O. Grangaard.
A. P. Peake,

TAX SALE MVALr. J,
DATED BY ERRORS
IN PUBLICATION

Through some oversight in the set
ting up Of the delinquent tax list as
published in the official paper, The
Peoples Opinion, this week, the tax
sale of Barnes county is invalidated
and will probably not be held. In
setting up the various descriptions
the columns of figures giving town
ship and range have been left out in
the description of farm lands and the
columns giving lot and block in the
descriptions of city property. This
invalidates the sale so far as Barnes
county is concerned because the law
distinctly requires that proper and
correct description Of each parcel Of
land for sale must be given.

DELINQUENT TAX
LIST IS LARGE

Barnes county's delinquent tax list
totals about $4,000, according to
County Auditor C. w. Nelson. The
total delinquency on the first Of No
vember was $92, $3.50, but since that
time, about sac, 900 has been collected
bringing the amount down to approx
imately $4,000. The delinquent list
last year was only about $4,000.
Mr.. Nelson stated this morning that
this delinquency is the largest in the
history of Barnes county, as near as
can be ascertained. The poor crops
of the past few years, coupled with the
holding of wheat by farmers is one
condition that is blamed for the exist
ing condition. I'LL. -
If taxes are not paid by December
IA, the property is subject to confisca-
tion by the sheriff, to be sold at public
auction. l..

game. They learned team work and
found that it takes eleven men, pull

The boys also developed sportmanship
and are proud of the letter received

Grafton. It is these things that
makes football worth playing.
coach Fagin deserves much cre-

necessary for him to develop the

his backfeld was known throughout
the state for it's drive and good inter
ference. He not only developed team
but he organized an athletic associa-
tion which supplied the men with new
equipment and put athletics on q
sound financial basis"

ORTHSTAR TRAIL
ASSOCIATION

At a meeting of the representatives
Of the town and cities along the main
line of the 500 Line Railway in North
Dakota, held at Minot on Nov. 18th,
a permanent organization was per-
fected called the North Star Trail
Association, the objects of the asso-
citation being to rename, remark and
maintain the old Green Trail. The Of
ficers of the association are: Geo. H.
Phelps of Bowbells, president; w. w.
Lyness of Fessenden, vice president;
Will E. Holbein of Minot, secretary
treasurer; and the following directors:
1st Dist.---W. A.. Heley of Hankin-
son.
End Dist. i. ]. Moe of Valley City.
3rd Dist-Will Thornhill Of Car
rington.- r#'#t.s.'..y@'|' /
4th Dist. F. Strauss of Harvey.
5th Dist.-W. H. Francis of Velva.
9Th Dist.-T. Kahellek of Kenmare.
Each director has under his super
vision certain mileage along the
trail, and appoints chairmen in each
town and city in his district, and 9TH
erwise assists the officers of the asso-
citation when called upon.
No officer of the association shall
receive a salary, but the president and
secretary shall be paid their necessary
travelling expenses when on business
for the trail, and the president may
ask director to perform a service on
account of the director being closer
to the place to be visited and in such
case the director shall have his nee
essary travelling expenses paid. A
warning is also issued to all business
men along the trail to not pay any
money for any advertising or any 9TH
er purpose to anyone except he has
proper credentials signed by the pres
ident and the secretary-treasurer. It
has been found that advertising So
licitors attempt to work business
men for so-called advertising matter
along the various trails, and this
warning is sent out at this time to
save the business men money.
Every effort will be made to assist
in securing State and Federal aid for
the North Star Trail, and to the end
the officers will cooperate with all
agencies that will insure such aid.
The Trail is planned to run from
Chicago, Ill.,, to Fernie, B. c., and
ultimately to the Pacific Coast. It is
planned to make this trail the shortest
road from Chicago to the Canadian
Northwest.
