following his address. The speaker,
in giving a brief resume of the work
ings of the North Dakota State Bank,
described it's effect on the public from
various angles.
The bank was organized, and OPEN
ed at Bismarck, North Dakota, under
the flotation Of $2,00O,0OO bond is
sue. "And the curious things about
these $2,OO0,OO bonds is, that to all
public knowledge none of them have
been sold outside of the bank, and
good United States currency is being
issued against them" said Mr.. Conley.
In other words, the bank bought its
own bonds, paid nothing for them, and
deposited them in it's own bank to
draw money against. 1t was the pro-
motion Of a bank operating with no
capital.
The speaker explained in detail that
these bonds are not saleable outside %
the state because no one will buy ex-
cept on a prohibitive basis. And fur.
ther, North Dakota citizens viii moi

SPINNING NOT A LOST ART

On Armistice day the people of
Brodhead, in Green County, commem-
Grated the landing of the Pilgrims
three centuries ago as we'll as the ter
mination of the world war two years
ago. A pageant of the Pilgrims was
staged by local talent in the afternoon,
commemorative addresses were de-
livered in the morning, while all day
long sightseers examined the display
of historical relics arranged in the
show windows of the stores.
The most remarkable of the exhibits
was two elderly women spinning ex-
cellent yarn out of carded wool on
spinning wheels such as were used in
ayfiower days. The spinners had
learned the art in its perfection and
our regret is that no motion picture
camera operator was at hand to per-
petuate a kind of skill which is be-
coming all too rare. The good people
of Brodhead would perform a valu-
able service to history by inducing q
few of their young girls into the
mystery of spinning so as to hand
down the tradition to the next gen
Grafton.

WHAT'S THE
TROUBLE?

Farmers in many sections of the
country are facing a serious condition
of affairs.
Farm products have slumped heav-
lily of late, and yet the labor he en-
ploys and the things he is compelled
to buy remain at practically the same
high figures.
He is compelled to market his pro-
duce because he must have funds with
which to meet his obligations.
The farmer is feeling this keenly,
especially in view of the fact that the
consumer is not getting the benefit of
his sacrifice.
The fact that city dwellers are still
complaining bitterly over the contin-
ued maintenance of pre-war prices
leads one to the belief that the peck
cts of spectators and middlemen, if
not others, are being unduly lined
with excessive profits.
1t has been the custom in the past
to make the farmer the goat to this
breed of get-rich-quick rascals. Is this
practice to be continued to the end OF
the chapter:

A REAL CHRISTMAS PRESENT

The holiday season with it's joys
and it's problems is upon US. What
shall we do to add to the happiness
of the occasion? Each one of US
would like not only to wish our
friends a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year, but to give them
one. We cannot do this by means of
ill-considered presents Thoughtless
gifts cause the January ash can to
bulge with debris. Only when our
gifts have lasting meaning do they
carry the true message of goodwill
which is the spirit of real giving.
We cannot give happiness and con-
tentment and safety for the future as
we'll as pleasure for the moment.
Such gifts are within reach of all.
They are to be found in the Savings
Securities of the United States Gov
eminent. From the SC Thrift Stamp
to the $1,000 Treasury Savings Ger
tlficate, they will carry with them not
only the greetings of the season but
happiness for years to come. II pre-
senting the child card with one
thrift stamp affixed, you bestow not
only a present but habit which will
