STATE Is RICH
SAYS CATHR0, IN
TALK 0 N BANKS.
Declares Failures Does Not In
dicate Any Alarming
Condition
NEW LAW is NOT CAUSE

The closing Of several banks in the
state does not indicate any alarming
situation, according to #. w. Cathro,
director-general of the Bank of North
Dakota.
The situation is not caused by the
initiated law permitting the with
drawal of public deposits, he added
today.
= Two more banks closed stodsy,4 ac
cording to meagre telephcre advices
to 0. Z. LOthus, state bank examiner.
They are the First State Bank of
Killdeer, in Dunn county and the Sec.
curity State bank of Columbus, Burke
county.
This makes a total of eight banks
which have closed because their re-
serves were too low They may be
reopened, the examiner CHASING none
OF them as failures as yet.

CathrO.
Crop failures and holding Of grain
has postponed the usual fall liquida-
ton. The state had the products-all
it lacks is ready cash, and there can
be nothing alarming in condition
when the state has the resources it
has now he continued.
Mr.. Cathro said that it was simply
NE failure to liquidate, that caused
the present situation. He said tnat if
a great amount of money was with
drawn from the Bank of North Da-
kota when the initiated law becomes
effective it would aggravate condi-
lions, Hd does not think that post
Donirg the Withdrawals for a few
would change conditions.
A. Johannsen, audits department
director, believes that all banks in the

condition in 80 days if conditions are
Mr.. Cathro declared the Bank Of
North Dakota would max: no move

CEREALS FALL
TO NEW LEVELS
DURING TRADE
Abnormal Weakness Is Shown in
Breadstuffs and FCodstufs
orr Chicago Board

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Feverish trading
and new low record prices gave evi-
dence today that the period of della
ton had not yet spent it's force in the
grain market.
All cereals showed hesitation at the
opening but rallies were of brief dur
alton and were followed by down
ward plunges that hurled breadstuffs
and feedstuffs alike to the lowest level
this season. Wheat under any prices
since 1917 and corn and oats since
1915.
knowledge that these figures were
we'll under the cost Of production fail
ed to stop the abnormal weakn ess.
More than five cents q bushel was
slashed from the value Of wheat with
in little more than an hour, Decem-
Der delivery changing hands as low
as $1,64. Cutting of prices on corn
and oats was less spectacular except
as being in addition to previous opera
tiOns of late than had severed cora
values nearly in half.
SCdiClty ol Dtit CHS, o"ilso W uio
turbed general business conditions,
appeared to be the chief depressing
factor.
Opening prices which varied from
the same as Saturdays finish to 3 II
cents higher with December $l.69 to
S170 1-2 and March S1.60 IL to S1.62
were followed by tumbles which re-
ceived no important check until the
market had reached $1.64 IA for De-
cember and $1.55 for March.
AS much as II cents a bushel loss
since Saturday was shown in the mar
ket after midday, December touching
$1.5SR. The close was flurried 2z2
cents to 9 cents net lower with De-
cember $160 to $1.6O12 and March
81 .55 to Sl.56.

North Dakota. South Dakota and
Minnesota, out Of % states cOmpris-
ing what is technically known as the
northwest portion Of the United
States, showed a substantial increase
instead of a decline in building
operations for October as compared
with totals for September, according
to statistics issued by F. w. Dodge

100, 600 MOTOR CARS IN NORTH DAKOTA
IN 1921, is PREDICTION OF DIRECTOR
OF LICENSE BUREAU; SEES 10000 BOOST
Increase Figured at Percent Based Upon Previous
Growth of Motor Truck Use Is Seen-Toal Receipts
of Bureau for This Year Near 100000

The motor vehicle registration
department of North Dakota is
preparing for the registration of
100000 automobiles and trucks in
1921. s5-.
e. p. Grain, director of the de-
partment, announces that the de-
partment has contracted for 10O,-
900 pairs of license tags. He fig
ures on a 10 per cent increase in
the number OF motor vehicles. One
hundred thousand cars in North
Dakota, with population of 645,-
73O, would put the state among
the first in the number of cars
in proportion to the population.
The 1921 tags will have a dark
navy blue background, with white
numerals. This is said to be one
Of the most effective combina-
tions devised for auto tags.
} "rhe increase of 1919 over 1918
was about 10 per cent, and we
believe that the. same ratio will
be maintained during 1921" said

The civic rest room is at last ;

Realizing that Thanksgiving and
Christmas shopping must call many
women and children to Bismarck,
plans have been rushed in every way
possible to complete the rest room.
The following is the plan for fur
nishing the room. All organizations

In this way each Bismarck woman
will have an opportunity to meet and

while in town. Women, plan out what

Against Disarmament Until

Geneva, Nov. ga resolution
| presented by NJ. Fiyiani, inviting
; the council OF. the league Of ma.
tionS to confer with the various
! powers with Il view OF constitute
ing force sufficient to put an end
Of hostilities in Armenia, which
was Joined to Lord Robert Cecil's
resolution along the same lines
was adopted by the league this
afternoon.
Geneva, Nov. 22-The possibility of
American aid for the Armenians was
touched in debate today by the assem-
bly, of the league of nations on resolu-
tions demanding Intervention by the
league in Armenia.
Supporting Lord Robert Cecil's de-
mand that the assembly appoint a
committee to examine into means for
ending the hOstkties between the Tur-
kish nationalists and the Armenians
M. Spalekjovitch, Of the Serbian dele
cation recalled that the United States
senate at one time had approved the
use of the American fleet to succor the
Armenians. 1t was recalled here in
this connection that Senator Harding
was the senator who reported the
resolution. CA resolution requesting
the president to send marines to Ba-
tum was adopted by the senate May
Is, last. 1t was offered by Senator
Harding on behalf of the foreign rela-
tions committee.)
BalfOur on L. S.
A. J. BalfOur OF Great Britain,
speaking on the resolution said that If
the United States had been willing to
take the mandate on Armenia she had
the men, money and spirit to make her
an ideal mandatory. The league has
been unble to accomplish anything
with regard to the Armenian situation,
Mr.. Balfour admitted, because the con-
dition Of Armenia waf not such as the
league was organized to deal with.
"Mr. BalfOur said an appeal must
be sent to the II states Of the league
for a United States effort to save
Armenia
French Stand
Rene Viviani, of France, following
Mr.. Balfour, said all were agreed that
compassion would no longer suffice for
Armenia.
1T is not the fault of France if the
league today is disarmed before the
situation in Armenia is righted,' said
NJ Viviani. Virtually the entire as
sembly applauded this statement. 1t
was noted however, that the British
delegation did not applaud.

Mr.. Grain. "A total of 90,S05 IL
censes We're issued up to the close
of business Saturday, OF this
number LAS for motor trucks"
The department ordered 81 900
tags for 1920, and all will be
sold. it is believed.
The license tags for 1921 will
cost the department II cents
pair, as compared to ii 3.10O
pair in 1919. According to Mr..
Grain this indicates that the price
for 1920 was low, as the contrac-
tor for 1920 bid IS cents pair
on the 1921 contract, which was
awarded to the S. G. Adams
Stamp and Stationery company,
of St. Louis.
Total receipts of the depart
ment thus far in 1920 amount to
$690,1S2.75. The price on tags,
being bdsed on several factors,
will be chapted somewhat in
1921. Information on which to
base the new ratings is now being
obtained.
