Elk poets All to Pay Out

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 29.-Assets
Of the 16 North Dakota banks recently
closed on account Of depleted reserves
are expected by state banking officials
to care for all liabilities Of the affect
ed institutions, according to estimates
mad oday to the Associated Press.
Many Of the closed banks will re-
open, according to their officials,
while others are expected to suspend
business permanently after complet-
ly liquidating their assets and closing
up all accounts.
The bank deposit guaranty fund,
according to officials, will not suffer
as result Of the closing Of the banks.
The capital Of the banks and the SOL

that the man who drives the mules in

Things are not like they were back
in the long ago, when people used to
waste time and money acquiring an

that if they would study and master
their lessons, they would stand prom
Using chances Of being congressman.
But that sort Of talk don't go now.
The pay Of congressman is no temp
tation for the average worker OF these
times. The brain workers of today
are mere pikers in the stampede for
wages, and fellow who takes cOun-
ty office, or condescends to represent
ing his county in the legislative halls,
is self-sacrificing individual--often
called fool.
Drawn has simply out-stripped brain
in the race for supremacy. The trap
per boys down at the coal mine re-
ceive as much pay as the representa-
tive in the legislature, while many
miners draw bigger pay than the con-
gressmen and senators of the United
States. This reads ridiculous, but it's
fact.
The janitors at the school houses
in the city of Clinton and Clinton
township receive bigger wages than
the teachers in the school, and the
puddlers in the iron and steel mills
draw heavier envelopes than are
drawn by the civil engineers and
draughtsmen This is true, notwith
standing the fact that the engineers
have spent years of study and hun
dreds of dollars fitting themselves for

study? Just cultivate your muscles
and crowd the mental athletes to the

The man who watches the crossing

to wabble?
Answer: Any wheel will wabble con-
tinuously IL it's spokes and felloe are
not true with the hub or il the rim
tire is not set true on the felloe band.
This latter is the most common cause
of wabbling. A front wheel will run
erratically il its bearings are very
loose or broken, IL the steering gear
is very much worn or il the two front
wheels are not SO aligned that they
point very slightly together. A

Of interest 10 thousands OF people

and viii forever set at rest the ques-
ton OF validity. This ruling states:
Performance OF socalled annual as
sessmeut work on placer claims Is not
sufficient TO make them valid as oil
land locations. All locations under
the placer mining laws. according to
drawn lands as covered in relief pro-
visions Of sections IS and I9 Of the

Patents cannot be secured for such
locations. unless a discovery OF oil
had been made thereon prior 70 Feb

the claimants were in diligent prose-
cution OF work leading to discovery
and continued such work with dill
gence TO discovery on each claim.
There are many holders Of placer
claims. which were initiated before
February %. 1920, that are in doubt
as to the validity OF their claim, and
many others have paid for legal ad-
vice which advice stated the claims
were still valid even though no loca-

The ruling Is clear, concise and to
