A very interesting session of the
Commercial Club was held last night
in the club rooms, a goodly number of
the business men coming out to take
part in the gathering. Many subjects
of interest were discussed. A large
number of bills were liquidated. The
club voted to get behind the lecture as
ISOLATION in the matter of getting peo-
pie interested in purchasing tickets for
the lecture course at 81 each for the
four first-class entertainments con-
tracted for. The aim is to sell one
thousand r tickets at this price which
would place the association upon
paying basis. The club also voted
money to pay for the premiums of the
school children's exhibits. The meet
ing last night had considerable pep to
it and there is no reason why more of
these meetings cannot be held at the
regular periods.

The city fire siren sounded out its
doleful tidings Of a fire yesterday aft
ernoon about $50 and it was discov-
cred that couple of old dwellings
over near the elevator district at the
500 we're on fire. The department
made hasty run for the scene Of con-
flagration but on account of the long
distance to go and water not being
handy, the buildings burned down. We
have not learned the cause of the fire.
One of the buildings was occupied, but
the other one was vacant. The fire is
said to have started in the occupied
one.

Mr.. and Mrs. Trubshaw autoed to
Nome yesterday to take look at the
town after the big fire of day or
two ago. We found that the fire fiend
had wiped out a number of business
houses, but the main and substantial
buildings Of the town, the brick ones,
are still standing and Nome is far
from wiped out. The fire the other
night was about midnight and several
people had narrow escape from burn
ing to death. The Town has not suf-
ficient apparatus or water to fight
a fire of that size but the people GER
tainly did some heroic work at that.
Better buildings will be built ON some
of the burned spots and Nome will
rise bigger and better from the fire.
It is a neat and clean looking little
city and it takes more than a fire to
discourage the boosters of this place.

UNIQUE WAY OF
MAKING PROFITS"

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 13. - How
the Bank of North Dakota makes
"profts" is shown in figures compiled
here on deposits in the bank Of the
state treasurer.
The average monthly balance of
the state treasurer in the bank OF
North Dakota from Sept. 30, 1913
to Aug. 81, 1920, one year, was 49,
23O,O23.22.
Before the Bank of North Dako-
ia came into existence the state re-
ceived interest of per cent or more
from banks on this amount of money
The Bank of North Dakota pays z
per cent and then deposits the money
in other banks.
The Bank of North Dakota paid
interest amounting to $6,6OO.64 on the
state treasurer's balance. At the rate
which the state would have received
before the Bank of North Dakota was
organized, if per cent, the state would
have received $96,900.69 interest
money.
The difference is $32,30o.23, which
the Bank of North Dakota, through
the simple method of redepositing
the money, chalks up to its credit as
"profts."
1t was learned today that though
the Bank. of North Dakota, claims
to haye made great sums of money
through profits" on interest money
formerly paid to the state and to
counties and other divisions of the
state it does not pay rent on. the
building it occupies. The state pays
$1,000 a month rent on a four-story
building, a large part of which is
occupied by the bank.

Blanchard contended that the pictures
being shown today were not the prop
er kind to instill in the minds of either
young and old, especially the youth
of our land, those ideals for better cit
izenship and asked that North Dakota
join with other states in passing leg
islation that would give us censorship
along moving picture lines. She made
the statement that most of the pic
lures shown in the movies today were
of such a suggestive nature that it
was a crime to allow young boys and
girls to go to the movies, and urged
the fathers and mothers that they
take better care of their children
along these lines.
