STATE DISP0SES
OF BONDS WHILE
COURT DECIDES
C0nstitutionality of Issues Now
Being Tested by Supreme
Tribunal
;1,0OO,OO0 WORTH ARE SOLD
Purchasers Will Have to be Re.
= imbursed if Decision is ;
UnfavOrable

The strange situation of a state
trying to sell its bonds while the
United States supreme court is de-
termining whether the issuance Of
such bonds is constitutional or not
confronts North Dakota.
While some of the most noted at
|torneys in the state are arguing for
and against the North Dakota In
lustrial program which includes the
issuance and sale of industrial bonds
before the supreme court at Wash
'ington, people in Grand Forks and a;
scattered points both in and out Of the
state are trying to sell a part OF the
$4,000 900 bond issue authorized to
construction Of the mill and elevator
at Grand Forks.
r. One Fifth Sold
1t was admitted here today that
only $1,OQ0,000 of the total issue of
100000 bonds had been bought up
to the present time and that the sale
Of bonds is progressing very slowly.
Most of them, it. is said, are being
floated in Grand Forks and vicinity,
that being the site Of the proposed
state mill and elevator: Some small
sales have been made outside of the
state, but practically all of the sales
have been of small blocks of bonds
lf the federal supreme court decides
that the issuance of these bonds was
unconstitutional, all of the bonds sold
will have to be withdrawn by the state
and the owners reimbursed. The con
struction of the Grand Forks state
mill and elevator will probably be
brought to an immediate halt, as will
several other state enterprises fin
anced through bond issues of ques-
tionable constitutionality
Favorable Decision
On the other hand, if the supreme
court sdecides that the North Dakota
industrial program and incidental
bond issues are constitutional, it is
expected that the state will have less
difficulty to effect immediate sales of
large blocks of these bonds. In fact,
bankers believe that if the supreme
courts decision upholds the constitu
tionality of the action, that many OF
the big houses Of the country will
take over all of the millions of dol.
lars worth of bonds, the sale of which
has been practically impossible until
favorable decision of the federal
supreme court is secured.

FRICTION is CLAIMED
Political Situation in Bismarck
Worrying State Officials
! and League

Following the grand smash up in
the workmen's compensation bureau
Yesterday, in which Governor Frazier
suspended l.. J. Wehe, one Of the
commissioners, and Wehe refused to
be suspended. political prophets here
are watching the activities of the rail
road commission for the next inter
nal eruption.
Dissention is evident between S. J.
Aandah], c. r. Dupuis and Frank Mil
holland, the three commissioners
The friction between Dupus and Mil
holland is said to be particularly evi-
dent and if the several clashes be-
tween these two men is finally brought
before Governor Frazier. in view OF
the McDonaldWe controversy, Mil
holland is assured official support by
the administration and the NOnpar-
tisan league leaders.
TownIey Anxious
In view of the recent events, Bis
marck has once more wrested the
center of attraction from st. Paul
and many more trips to North Da
kota's capital city are expected to be
made by A. C. Townley in order to
prevent the entire disruption of the
league in this state. The situation
in the railroad commission, it is
known, is attracting considerable at
tention from state officials here and
every attempt is being made to
smooth out the difficulties before it
is too late.
Commissioner Wehe'S starting
challenge to Governor Frazier to GUST
him from office has struck terrG' in
the hearts Of the league adherents
here 1t is hardly expected that the
governor will grant Wehe's request
for public hearing Of the unfavOr-
able publicity which will result from
a session of this nature. Wehe refus-
ed to be led around by the nose by
S. S. Mcdonald, the stormy petrol OF
the wOrkmen's compensation bureau,
even though Governor Frazier upheld
Mcdonald and is attempting to re-
move Wehe.

new fight on his hands if ]. r.

Corn and Oats Lead in Decline
in Chicago Market This
Afternoon

Chicago, April 21.--Prices crashed
heavily in the grain market today
especially in the last Is minutes Of
trading. Corn fell as much as eight
and three-fourths cents a bushel. Lii
quidation, owing to weakness in the
New York stock market, was the chief
apparent reason
Oats tumbled five cents in value.
Pork dropped Sl.25 barrel in some
cases, but lard and ribs held rela
lively steady.
Bottom Prices
Final quotations were at nearly the
bottom prices for the day with July
corn typical at s1.5S to half as COM
pared with $1.663s to half at yester
days close. ~
Uneasiness over the financial situ-
alton had been evident from the out
set in the grain market, but it was
not until the session was almost over
that values gave way in earnest.

Women Employees
Want to Know
What's the Joke

Female employees at the CAPT
tol building here are wondering
if someone has played a joke on
them.
Every woman employed at the
capitol signed a pledge not to
buy anything in the line of cloth
ing until prices come down to
normal The movement origin
ally started in hopes, of aiding
the campaign to reduce the high
cost of clothing, but a more
serious question has presented
itself to the signers.
Does that pledge which we
all signed mean that we will buy
absolutely nothing until prices
come down to normal?' is the
query going the rounds. '1f the
pledge is to be followed to the
letter and the prices do not come
down to normal for nine months
or a year, | see where we will
have to barr all males from the
entire city Of Bismarck. My
wardrobe is scanty enough now
and if have to wait until prices
reach normal before buying any
thing, even underthings, this will
be no place for mere males"
With beautiful lingerie allur-
ingly displayed in department
store windows some of the sign
ers of the pledge are expected to
weaken long before clothing
prices reach normal In the
meantime the male employees at
the capitol are wishing and hop
ing that normal prices will never
be realized.

) COMMUNITIES ASK AID
birmingham, Ala, April 21.---The
toll OF yesterdays terrific storm,
which swept portions Of Mississippi,
Alabama and Tennessee, was placed
today at l57 killed, scores injured, and
property damage of approximately
$2,O0O,O00.
Communication with the stricken
area was being gradually restored to-
day, but latest reports did not add to
the death roll
Appeals for aid were received from
many small towns and settlements
and Red Cross relief parties were be-
ing organized at many points to carry
food and tents into the storm swept
district.
The greatest havoc wrought by the
storm apparently was in the region
just north of this place. The tornado
apparently struck first at Guin, Ala,
and zigzagged through northwestern
Alabama. eastern Mississippi and
southern Tennessee where it's force
was spent.

not until the year 1877 that it was made
a solemn feast Pope Telesphorus de-

all Christians in that year. On one
early Christmas day the Roman En-
peror Diocletian. hearing that the

ART AND SCIENCE IN TOYS
Piaythings for the Riddles Necessary
to the Proper Conduct Of
Their Society.

UHIL the making of toys is an
w art that is probably practically
as old as the world itself, it has been
only within recent years that science
has bothered itself about them. Less
than half century ago they were re-
garded merely as playthings-amus-
ing diversions for children that were
by no means necessary to their we'll
being. Today, however, science insists
that there is a well-defined philosophy
underlying the use of toys; that they
are the tools with which the little ones
ply their trade; the paraphernalia nee
essary to the proper conduct Of their
society; that dolls, for example, are
more to them than the associates that
help to-, entertain them in that they
aid them in the attainment of their
mental growth by stimulating the
natural emotions which must be ex-
perienced in later life.
Whether this theory of the scientists
is correct or not, the fact remains that
children have always had the play
things requisite for their limitations of
the domestic life and business affairs
of older people; that they have always
required their elders to provide them
with such inventions, and that, when
they could not obtain these toys by
any other means they themselves have
sought and found objects that might
be made to suit their purposes. Even
the SOmnOlent middle Ages did not nut
an end to their pastimes. The toys in
which they found diversion may have
been more simple, but, as they met
the demands of nature. they played
their allotted part in the scheme Of
human development.-PubIic Opinion.
