NEW STORE TO OPEN
 FOR BUSINESS HERE

The new store of the Industrial Transportation Company, located in the Ingram building on the corner of Front and Oak streets, will open for business tomorrow, according to an announcement by the manager, P. E. Whitman, made today.
 The store is No. 173 of a chain op- erated in various cities of the coun- try. The company operates its own wholesale houses and packing plants and 1t is claimed for it that it is able to sell goods for less than the ordi- nary store. The stock is so arranged that customers may serve themselves, and, as nothing is sold except for cash, considerable overhead expense is eliminated, the management claims.

Public Funds.


This law amends Section of Chapter 147 OF the laws
Of the state Dakota for the Of 1919 to read
follows:
Section All funds and funds Of all state penal
institutions shall be- by the
having control such deposited IN the
Ban of Mort Dakota.
1t Is claimed by people that the purpose of this
law is to kill the Bank of North Dakota by arbitrarily
taking away funds with which it does business This
Is not So Read the law printed above. The Bank Of
North Dakota will have millions to do business with. In
addition having the funds Of the state treasury and all
educational and Industrial institutions it will also have
the proceeds of the ten million real estate bonds now
authorized by law.
This makes 1t poss BILE for all local boards to keep
money wherever they the most satisfactory
service results according to their judgment and
experience. They may put their money in the Bank Of
North Dakota. they may put 1t elsewhere. Wherever
they put It, they subject to the requirements
to giving bonds and making proper accounting. The
approval of this law will not deprive the Bank of North
Dakota the right receive deposits from individuals
In addition the funds for which it will be the
exchequer
Those who argue against this law know that their
argument is sound. They trying to get votes by
claiming the law provides something that 1t does not
provide. Their purpose Is to make it possible for the
of the industrial commission and the officers Of
Bank of North Dakota to belonging to local
