concentrating heavy columns .of
troops and delivering a surprise at
tack against the flank of the main

TEAM
WILL JUDGE SEEDS
FEATURE OF SEED SHOW AT
NAMPA THAT WILL BE OF
MUCH LOCAL INTEREST.

One of the added attractions at the
state seed show held at Nampa, jan
uary 10 to IA inclusive, will be the
college seed judging contest, accord
ing to C. B. Allison, assistant field
agronomist Of the extension division.
1t has been customary to send stock
judging teams from the various col
leges to the livestock shows. This
year the directors Of the Idaho Seed
Crowns association voted to include
in their program seed Judging con-
test Latwen the colleges of tile north
west, This will be an annual event.
The teams will consist of three
men each. The University Of Idaho
and Oregon Agricultural College will
be the contestants this year, Utah
and Washington finding conditions
such as to make it impossible to COM
pete.
There will be twelve classes of
seeds to judge-wheat, oats, barley,
alfalfa, red clover, dent corn, Melted
Gems, Idaho Rurals, peas, beans,
timothy and white clover. All classes
will be judged on the basis of their
value for seeding purposes and each
class will consist of four samples to
be placed in order of merit.
A large loving cup will be given to
the team winning the contest. The
cup will remain the permanent prop
erty of the school winning three
times. Until then, it is to be return
ed at request of the secretary pre-
vious to the annual show.
The Bonner county seed potato
growers, the Bingham county Grimm
alfalfa growers and the Twin Falls
wheat growers will present cups to
the teams winning the potato, alfal-
ia and grain judging contests, re-
spectively. In addition, an official
medal of the association will be pre-
sented to the first, second and third
high point mean in the contest of the
twelve classes.
Arrangements have been completed
for the sending of three federal vo-
cational teams to the seed show, one
each from Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington. AS large quantities of high
quality seed will be available at the
seed show, it is expected that this
contest will prove highly educational
to the the men who represent the va
rious colleges, as well as to onlook-

'NONPART|zANS STOP
WORK ON ELEVATOR
GREAT MILL AND ELEVATOR
PLAN FOR NORTH DAKOTA
SEEMS ABOUT TO FAIL.

Bismarck, N. D.-(By A. P)-At
the end of the present week or as
soon there after as practicable, work
on the state mill and elevator build
ing at Grand Forks will be discontin-
ued until further funds can be OBJ
tanned through the sale of mill and
elevator bonds, according to reso-
luton passed by the state industrial
commission, it became known here
today.
Part of League Program
Fargo, N. D.-(By A. P.)-The
state of North Dakota is engaged in
four lines of activity usually follow
ed only by private interests. These
are:
1. Insurance (For public building
and for crops).
2. Operation of mill and eleva-
tors.
8. Operation of a bank.
4. Operation of a home building
association.
These activities are part of the in
dustrial program, backed by the Non
partisan League. The last three
named are under the control of the
industrial commission of the state.
Possibly the most ambitious of the
four programs is that for chain of
state owned mills and elevators A
state owned flour mill with ca
pacity Of 1875 barrels day, is in
operation at Drake A 5000 barrel a
day mill and 100000 bushel Ele
vator are being built by the state
under one roof at Grand Forks.
These will be ready in time to handle
wheat of the 1921 crop, it is expected.
The mill and elevator system is
to be only beginning, says H. E.
More, state secretary of the Non
partisan League, the plan being to
supply, eventually, machinery, to
handle livestock and other farm pro-
ducts. The final aim, according to
Mr.. More, is to handle, store, man
ufacture and distribute in finished
form all these products from within
the state thus avoiding transporta-
ton to distant factory points and
costs involved by passage through
the hands of middle men.
The program of the state bank, ac-
cording to Mr. More, is to extend
credit to the farmers and mobilize
money in the state at points where
it is most needed, by redepositing it
in local banks at these points. The
western end of the state, Impoverished
by five years of crop failures has
had until recently, $1,000,000 more in
redeposits than was originally drawn
from that section, he says.
Before the November election
law provided that all public funds in
the state be deposited in the state
bank but an initiate law passed at
that time now makes the depository
of county, township, municipal and
school money optional with the treas
urers of these respective funds.
The capital stock of the bank is
$2,000,000.

G. v. SUPP|GER IS
RECEIVER OF BANK
MOSCOW MAN TAKES CHARGE
OF BANK AT GRANGE
VILLE-MAY BE SOLD.

GRANGEVILLE, Idaho-That the
Grangeville Savings & Trust Co., q
banking institution in this city, was
insolvent at the close of business
November 20, is the statement made
by the state of Idaho, through j. G.
Fralick, commissioner of commerce
and industry, in complaint filed in
the district court of Idaho county,
asking the court to confirm the ap-
pointment of George w. Suppiger, of
Moscow, as a special deputy for the
state, to take charge of the institu-
tion and close its affairs.
Bond Is $25,OOO
Judge Wallace N. Scales, at Lewis
ton, has approved the appointment of
Mr.. Suppiger who now is in the city,
and has fixed his bond at $4,000.
Mr.. Suppiger is directed by the
court to collect all debts and claims,
sell and compound all doubtful debts,
and to sell real and personal property
of the bank, on such terms as the
court may direct.
cat the close of business Novem-
ber 49," the complaint reads, ''the de-
fendant did not have on hand in
available funds Is percent of the ag-
gregate of deposits"
Bank Is InsOlvent
The complaint further says that on
November 20, and at all times since,
the bank has been insolvent, and
that the bank, on November 20, re-
fused to pay sundry and divers Of it's
who demanded their
funds.
Appointment of Mr.. Suppiger as
a special deputy does not necessarily
mean that the banks affairs will be
liquidated, it is pointed out by OBJ
servers, but nevertheless opens the
way for liquidation, in case the bank
is not sold within a short time. Mr..
Suppiger now is in charge of the
bank.
Days May Buy The Bank
According to the Free Press there
is a report current in Grangeville
that the Day interests at Wallace
might purchase the Grangeville Saw
ngs & Trust Co., which recently
closed its doors, and revive the insti-
,ution. The Day brothers are mil
ionaire mining men and bankers of
the Coeur d'Alene region and if they
1ecide to take over the Grangevf1le
bank, they will bring to Idaho coun-
" much money and prestige which
will be of distinct benefit 1t is also
pointed out that if these men do de-
Tide to enter that field, it will be
argely on account of the mining in
lustry in the mountains adjacent to
IIrangeville and they will likely en-
gage principally in developing the
gold fields, using their financial in
,erests as a foundation.

BOND FIRM CLOSED
PRESIDENT FLEES
MORRIS BROTHERS OFFICE DID
NOT OPEN TODAY-WAR-
RANT FOR PRESIDENT.

Portland, Orgon-(By A. P.)-Dis-
trict Attorney Evans today issued a
warrant for the arrest of John L.
Etheridge, former president of the
bond firm OF Morris Brothers, charged
with larceny by bailee.
G. E. Anderson, of Silverton, Ore
gon. swore to the complaint which
charges that Ethridge failed to re-
deem unsecured interim certificates
for Edmonton bonds.
Roy Fike, bond salesman who
drove Ethridge out of town Thursday
night, admitted, Evans said, that he
saw Ethridge leave Tacoma on an east
bound train.
Portland-Announce was made
officially tonight that, pending the
completion of an audit of it's books,
the doors of Morris Bros, Inc, bond
dealers of Portland, San Francisco,
Seattle and Tacoma, will not be open
ed for business.
This announcement followed the
recent resignation of John L. Eth
eridge as president of the firm last
week and the taking over of control
by Fred S. Morris, who has since been
in charge, and the placing of auditors
on the books of the local houses to
Z.
Hundreds Affected
While facts as to the condition of
the bond house were not obtainable
because the auditors were still at
work on the books, the fact that the
doors of the firm will not open for busi-
ness tomorrow morning was taken to
mean that, at least temporarily, there
would be suspension of its acknowl-
edgement of claims upon the part of
hundreds of persons all over the Pa
cific coast who have purchased bonds
from this house and it's branches.
This, it was believed, will be particu-
larly true of the issue of $2,750,000 of
the city of Edmonton, Canada, six per
cent gold notes, which were sold at
a gross yield of nine per cent.
these city of Edmonton bonds which
were placed on the market several
weeks ago, were very extensively sold,
although at the time they had not
been formally issued, and interim GER
were given in lieu of the
actual bonds. Later the city comp1et-
ed the issue and representatives were
sent to Portland to deliver them. 1t
was then that the situation came to
a climax for, it was rumored, there
were insufficient funds to the credit
of Morris Bros. Inc, to cover them
Just what sums were or are available
was not clear, but rumor had it that
there was a deficiency of a very large
sum.
