NORTH DAKOTA MILL ELEVATOR
HELD UP, DUE TOLACK OF FUNDS
Suspension Announced Of One of the State
Owned Activities Advocated by !
Non-Partisan LEAGUE.

BISMARK. \. D.. December 25.-
Work on the state mill and elevator
building a Grand Forks is to be dis
continued this week or as soon there
after as practicable. according to reso-
luton adopted by the state industrial
commission.
The resolution stated that the finan-
cial situation necesSitateS discontinue
ance until further funds can be obtained
through sale of mill and elevator bonds
When completed the mill was planned
to have capacity of 1000 barrels of
flour daily and Id1e elevator to hold
100000 bushels of grain.
Four Lines of Activity.
FARGO, N. D.. December 24--The
state of North Dakota is engaged in
four lines of activity usually followed
only by private interests. These are :
Insurance for public buildings and for
crops) operation of mill and elevators ;
operation of bank. and operation of
a home building association. These ac-
tivities are part of the industrial pro-
gram backed by the Non-f Partisan
League. The last three named are under
the control of the industrial commission
of the statae.
Possibly the most ambitions of the
four programs is that for a chain of
~
state owned flour mill, with a capacity
of 125 barrels day. is in operation at
Drake. A 3,000-barrel-a-day mill and
ia 500, 600 bushel elevator are being
built by the state under one roof at
Grand Forks.
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, ma
chinery to handle live stock and other
farm products. The final aim, accord
ing to Mr. More, is to handle, store,
manufacture and distribute in finished
form all these products from within the
state, thus avoiding transportation to
distant factory points and cost involved
by passage through the hands of mid
dlemen.
The state Bank.
The program of the state bank. ac-
cording to Mr.. More, is to extend
credit to the farmers and to 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 s1,O00,00O more in re-
deposits than was originally drawn
from that section, he says.
Before the November election a
law provided that all public funds in
the state be deposited in the state
bank. but an initiate law passed at

Famous Waterway.

Plans for establishing a base for
its raw materials at Baltimore and
utilizing the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal for transporting both raw and
finished products to and from it's big
manufacturing plant at Cumberland,
MI. are being actively considered by
the Kelly-Springfield Tire Company.

scheme Termed Practical.
1t is learned that the company al
ready has gone into the matter with
officials of the Canal Towage Com
pany. and been assured that the
scheme is practical as far as opera
ton over the canal is concerned
The chief merit of the plan, it is
stated. is an expected saving in
freight rates.
That the building of the Kelly-Sprng-
field plant at Cumberland eventually
would be followed by a revival of trans
portation activity over the historic canal
connecting Cumberland with Washing

time the federal government took over

Home building.
The home building association.
which is in its infancy, has built
about 100 homes throughout the state
Mr. more says. The plan IS to build
homes costing $1,000 or less and sell
them for a cash payment of one-fifth
the value and the rest in ten or
twenty year payments. The monthly
payment on $1,000 house after the
$1,000 has been paid would be S2864

year plan.

All public buildings in the state ara
There is demand. according to
league officials. that this Insurance be
made available for private buildings
The administration of this tax is
more economical than in old-line
companies, and as soon as a sinking
fund has been accumulated the cost
which now is about equal to that
charged by the old line companies win
be lowered. Mr. More says.
n ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS tax is levied
on all tillable land for the state hail
tax. Last year this tax cost the
farmers who insured their crops %
cents per acre. This compares. ac-
per acre charged by private COM
panies for hail protection. Both forms
of state insurance, he adds, are maxi
ing money.

DESDEMONA HAD

BUDAPEST, December 25.-The
exigency Of a commuter desiring
to catch the last train for a sub

Shakespeare's tragedy at the Ma

Emily Markus. the first tragic
actress of this country. who was
playing DesdemoEa- lives just out
side of this city and has to catch
the last train home.
So when Othello burst into Des-
demona's bedchamber to deciaiin
his passionate monologue before he
stifled her the audience was
amazed to see that the Moor OF
Venice was apparently so furious
that he could find no words to ex-
press his passion and DesdenOna
was smothered before the specta-
tors had time to Shudder.
Afterward it was learned that
Miss Markus had whispered into
the ear of the outraged Othello:
please strangle me quickly. If
you are going to cackle your So
liloquy 1 will lose my last train"
So the kind hearted Moor COM
piled with the last wish of the
doomed woman.
