RAPID GROWTH SHOWN by
BANK OF NORTH DAKOTA.
Resources of Institution Reach S1e,.
957,739 Since Last July.-$3,-
100000 In Loans.

Total resources of $19,95U,739 are
shown by the latest report of the Bank
of North Dakota.
Loans to farmers of abuut $4,000
600 on first mortgages have been either
arranged for or closed since last July,
when the central bank opened for business.
The old opposition predict ion that the
bank would not lend much to farmers
is now changed to the cry that the bank
IS lending too much on this form of
security.
Public funds on deposit with the
bank, which are nearly all re-deposited
with local banks, amounted to Sl5,..
5O7,915.69; funds held for member
state banks for clearing house purposes
amounted to $2,175,264.26, and the in
dividual deposits were S;159,276.3S.
The latter figure indicates that many
people OF the state are seinding money
to this state-oWned bank because of the
100-per-cent safety afforded. The city
OF Bismarck contains only about 5000
people and no large business ENTERPRISES.
The report also shows that the bank
has accumulated $4,000 as surplus,
holds S23,954.10 in reserve to repay
legislative appropriations, has undivided
profits Of $5,07S.45 from 1919 and net
profits Of SIS, 4.37 for the first month
and half of 1920.
Checks cleared for member state
banks, which used to do their clearing
largely in the Twin Cities, average about
100000 day in total
AS soon as the state is able to re-
move the court action before the fed
eral supreme court, brought to cause
delay, the bank will be able to lend
$1O,000,O00 on first mortgages in adj
dition to what it may so lend from
the banks own funds. While this
amount is small compared with the
$3OO,0O0,900 in mortgages, at an av-
erage Of 8 2-3 per cent which North
Dakota farmers carry, the conpeti-

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
WILL BE UNRESTRICTED.
State Convention at Minneapolis
10 Be Held In Arm DRY, Instead
of at Auditorium.

/ Arrangements are being made by
the Democratic state. organization for
the holding of the state convention in
Minneapolis on April 6. This meet
ing will be held at the Arrnory in that
city, instead Of the Auditorium, as orr
glnally advertised, and from all indica-
tons it will be a live gathering of .sthe
faithful
Up to this time there are very few
avoWed candidates for the positions of
delegate to the national convention and
there appears to beno decided crystaliza-
ton OF sentiment in favor of any par
tlcular candidate for president. The
loea seems to be general, however,
that the delegation from this state
should not be instructed for any one
OF the candidates who have announc-
ed themselves, Or who may have been
mentioned. The idea is to select the
best representatives of the party and
trust to them, after they reach the
convention, to make their decision in
behalf OF the Democrats of the state.

4ELLsWORTH's QUEER ANTICS
81 PUZZLE ALL POLITICIANS.
Intimates That Townley Has ssur-
rendered" the Tonnage Tax
and Prohibition Issues.

Congressman f. F. Ellsworth, until
recently q candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor Of Minnesota
and hopeful Of the Endorsement of the
Nonpartisan League and organized Ia
Dor, has made ridiculous attack on
A. G. Townley, president of the Non
partisan League, charging that Mr..
Townley intends to surrender the
tonnage tax and prohibition
Realizing that he stood little chance
OF receiving the farmer-labor indorse-
ment, Mr.. Ellsworth 'withdrew from the
gubernatorial race few weeks ago.
In letter to Julius Schmahl, Thomas
Frankson and Willis M. West, copies of
which were furnished the newspapers,
MIR. Ellsworth declares that his reasons
for withdrawing were because he could
not accept an Endorsement controlled
by Mr.. Townley,' and because the presi-
dent of the League intends to surrender
the tonnage tax and prohibition.
Mr.. Ellsworth's letter is causing much
merrlment among the politicians, be-
cause less than month ago the con-
gresham publicly expressed himself
IN thorough sympathy with Mr.. Town
ley and emphatically denied charges
of bossism made by newspapers that
are fighting the League. Mr.4i44T oWnley
has been out OF the state for a month,
so it is hard to see how Mr.. Ellsworth S
opinions could have changed.
The charge that Mr.. Townley or the
Nonpartisan League or organized labor
intend to surrender the tonnage tax is
ridiculous, in view of the record made
by League members of the Minnesota
legislature, who succeeded in getting
a tonnage tax bill passed at the special
session Of the legislature, only to have
the bill vetoed by Governor Burnquist.
The injection Of prohibition in the
Minnesota campaign is regarded as
silly, in view of the present nationwide
drouth. Mr.. Ellsworth might have
just as logically charged that the League
intends to surrender" woman suffrage
Mr.. Ellsworth's letter may serve to
smoke out the candidates on the League
and labor programs, however, which in
public speeches, Mr. Ellsworth I'M
qualifed]y indorsed.
The St. Paul Dispatch, which is bit
terly opposed to the League, makes the
following comment on Mr.. Ellsworth s
letter: j.
''Mr. Ellsworth proceeds to inquire
the attitude of the three candidates on
tonnage tax, prohibition, minimum wage,
public ownership of public utilities,
eight-hour day, collective bargaining,
grain grading and nearly everything else
under the bright shining SIN.
!" Political enigma politicians say.
What is he trying to do row?' He is
running amuck, they agree, just try

days, wasn't it? You could buy couple

$40 you could buy COW and the butch

Them were the good old days, WIZ
zent they? Yes, they weren't.
Those were the days when a dollar
was worth lot and a man was worth
very little. If your appendix went on
strike, the doctor called it infamma-
ton Of the bowles and they buried you.
And if you were fortunate enough to be
host to few million typhoid germs they
called the doctor but he wouldn't give
you any water, and you were waited
to the realm Of bliss with your tongue
hanging out.
And women wore long skirts that
dragged along the walks and collected

that the water level would be lowered

COMMUNICATION.
Editor Farmers Press -

EDITOR drnlerS GreSS -
1t was 8 source of considerable re.
lief and satisfaction to learn, when
the news was flashed over the state
that the bankers of North Dakota
had decided to support the farmers
program in selling bonds so as to
make possible the building of the
state owned mills and elevators, as
we'll as other relief measures calcu-
lated to improve the living condi.
tions of North Dakota in general and
the working class and farmer in par
%ticular. We have all along known
that the bankers as a class were men
who knew a good thing when they
saw it. The only thing that surprised
US was the length of time that they
had allowed themselves to be led to
follow the false teachings of the l,
v. A. leaders. Any unprejudiced
man can see that not only the far
mers gain by the continuing of the
Bank of North Dakota along the
same lines that were laid down in
the farmers program. but that bank
ing would be absolutely safe with
such a strong financial state institu-
ton as the Bank of North Dakota,
to stand at the back of every bank in
the state in times of stress and
when either through crop failure or
for some other cause they needed
help. Good boy Cathero. Good old
Cathero. The farmers all along
kne " the could trust you and special
ly when you had that prince of SER
wants of the people, William Lemke,
by your side, or al he was affection
ately called by some of our papers.
Chill Billy" Oh boy, is it not de-
ligbtful to see the so-called anti
Townley press have to backwater in
order to get in line with public SEN
timent. Papers that have been the
curse of our state this while back
and have cost the farmers untold
millions in loss through their unholy
influence, But it is 10 use to cry
over split milk. The farmers in time
will get the situation Strengthened
around to where they can demand a
living price for their products and
hat is all that they are after.
