Finland feels that she must have

believed that eventually Russia must
eede this.

the Firms in that region to be grant

The closing of several banks in the

situation according to F. w. Cathro,

The situation is not caused by the

cording to meagre telephone advcies
to @. 3. Lotus, state bank examiner:
They are, the First State Bank OF
Killdeer; in Dunn county and the Sc
curity State bank of Columbus, Burke

This makes a total of eight banks
which have closed because their re-
serves were too low. They may be
reopened, the examiner classing none
Of them as failures as yet.

new RATES ARE UP
HELD BY COMMISSION

The decision yesterday of the Inter
state Commerce commission in order
ing railroads of New York to estab-
lish passenger and baggage rates on
intrastate traffic conforming to ad-
vanced interstate schedules, is Of vital
Importance to North Dakota, q Fargo
attorney said today.
1T means that interstate and intra-
state rates should be uniform and the
intrastate increase granted IN North
Dakota, he said. II. N
The decision will undoubtedly affect

Dakota upon application Of William
Lemke, as special assistant attorney
general.
"The decision Of the Interstate Com

matter may be carried to the supreme
court Of the United States which will
have final Jurisdiction" he said.
However, the case could not have
been carried to the court before it had

BARNES PIONEER
PASSES AWAY

Another Of Barnes county's pioneers
passed to their eternal reward today,
IN tie death Of Gust Elm, Of Hastings,
N. d., whose death occurred about 4
o'clock this morning at Riverside
hospital.
Mr.. Elm suffered a@naralytic stroke
over q year and half ago, and has
been constant sufferer since. He
was 70 years old. Remaining behind
to mourn his loss are eleven children,
all living, besides wife.
Mr. Elm came to Barnes county
about 40 years ago, when the county
was sparsely settled and the land
unbroken. Not even railroad pierc-
ed this part of the country at that
time. Through hard labor and careful
saving he was able to raise and sup
port q large family, and at thexsanle
time lay away a little fortune to COM
fort him and his wife during their
repining days. They have lived in the
village of Hastings for twelve or
thirteen years. y
Funeral arrangements are not yet
complete, but it was stated this morn
ing BY relatives that it would be held
ct Hastings Saturday, the exact time
having NOT been decided upon.

ASSO.
TOASK FOR FUNDS

A meeting Of the Associated Chari-
ties society Of this city was held in
the city hall last evening. The work
of the society during the past year
was discussed, and methods devised
for carrying on the work during the
next twelve months. 1t was disclosed
that the society is taking care Of sew
eral needy families in the city at the
present time, where the husband is
perhaps unable to work, due to sick
ness or some other calamity. It was
disclosed that the society, during the
period Of time between December Is,
1919, and November Is, 1920, has
made total disbursements Of $3O9.22.
These disbursements were almost en-
tirely for groceries, fuel. medical SER
vices, ETC., for needy families and in
dividuals in the city. Total receipts
for the year were $383.83, leaving a
cash balance of only $74.61 for the
society to continue its work on.
y The report Of c.. C. Chaffee, treas
urer, disclosed the fact that additional
funds are necessary to carry on this
kind of work, all Of which is local.
It was therefore decided that cam
paign will be launched in a. few days.
and committees will call at the differ
ent business and residence houses for
contributions. Good used clothing and
shoes will be thankfully received.
E A fact which should be borne in
mind is that all the money contributed
to this society is used within the linn
its of the city for the needy.

WANT Pure
BRED LIVESTOCK

The annual pure bred pig sale Of the
Barnes County Livestock Association
opened up at II o'clock today at the
barn Of DR.. C. "A. Anderson. Early
this morning about forty head Of hogs
had been received for this sale, all OF
them pure bred, and some of the finest
types Of hogs to be found anywhere.
They all are Barnes county products,
and includes nearly all the leading
breeds. Buyers were on hand early
this morning. and prospects were that
the stock would all 60 for good prices.
Barnes County farmers are becom-
ing more and more interested in build
ing up their herds. Many of them at
the present time have only partly
pure bred herds, but are evidently in
terested in pure bred live stock rais-
ing, if enthusiasm denotes anything.
Hogs are not the only stock which
theysswis to build up their herds in.
It is noticed that pure bred livestock
is becoming quite prominent on many
of the leading farms of the county,.
One of the biggest purchases ever;
made of pure bred stock, was that of
c.. S. Brown, who recently secured .
pure bred Shorthorn bull from the
Chicago markets at a price aggregat-
ing 1000. AS one breeder said, it
costs more to secure bure bred stock,
but when a herd has been bred up to
perfection, price gan be secured for
the stock, which will more than repay
the extra expense at the beginning. y
We hope to see more pure bred
livestock through Barnes county.
7. x. Calnan, county agent, is instru-
mental to large extent, in attempt
ing to- interest the farmers in this
kind of stock raising. He has charge
Of the hog sale that is being staged
today, and expressed confidence this
morning that it would be a success
in every way. e
About eighty guests enjoyed the
banquet given at the Kindred Hotel
Thursday evening, under the aus
pices Of the Barnes County Livestock
Association. This number included
both farmers and business men Of
Barnes county, who are interested in
promoting the livestock industry in
this state. Some very fine speeches
were made. C. S. Brown, of Rogers,
president of the association, acted as
toastmaster. The program and sup-
per was very much enjoyed by those

CARS PROMISED
FOR NORTH DAKOTA

S. j. Aandahl, state railroad and
warehouse commissioner, is in the city
today. Mr.. Aandahl has just return
ed from Washington and other east
ern points where he has been in con-
ference with officials Of the inter-
state commerce commission, where he
was acting as representative Of the
shippers Of this state. The car short
age situation was taken up by Mr..
Aandahl with officials at the capital,
and we are told that they have prom
ised plenty Of cars for. this state when
they are needed.
At the present time the car situa-
ton is not so serious as it perhaps will
be later on. The farmers throughout
the state are holding their wheat until
it reaches level where they will be
enabled to sell it withoua direct loss.
They allege that the price being paid
at the present time for wheat is be-
low the cost of production, and meet
ings are being held throughout North
Dakota at the present, at which off,
cials Of the National Grain Growers
Association are present. These Off
cials are urging the farmers of the
North Dakota to hold their wheat un-
til they get the specified price Of So,
which they claim is necessary to cover
production costs, and allow fair
margin Of profit.
As was stated, cars seem to be plen-
tiful at the present time. Coal deal
ers in the city report they are having
some trouble in securing coal, but they
do not blame this onto the car short
age. .1 J. ss
