RAMSAY FOR STATE SECRETARY

Walter c. Ramsay, now serving by
appointment, is candidate for the
republication nomination for election
to the Office. His name will appear
second in the list for the nomination
on the ballot in Winneshiek, owing
to the system of rotating names OF
candidates for state offices in the
various counties.
During the less than year that
Mr.. Ramsay has held the Office OF
secretary of state, he has made a. rec
cid for efficiency. He was serving
as chief clerk of the general assemb-
ly when Secretary of State w. s.
allen. resigned, and Mr.. Ramsay was
appointed by the governor, July 1,
1919, at the unanimous request of
the members of the general assembly
to fill the vacancy.
i, Since that time Mr.. Ramsay has
reorganized and systematized the
various departments of his office,
especially the motor vehicles and cor
poration departments. He has col
lected in excess Of 100000 in de-
linquent fees and penalties, and this
year has supervised the registration
of more than 375,000 motor vehicles,
producing revenue of between $6,-
100000 and $1,000 900.
In the past year the business of
the corporation department has been
Increased from $1,000 per month to
$4,000 month and the work is
all being accomplished with the
same sized force as formerly handled
the smaller business, in spite of the
increase in business of about zoe per
cent. Mr.. Ramsay is credited with
r,aking a marked improvement in
the conduct of the business of the
office, the largest business Office in
the state government. producing "a
revenue exceeding that Of all the
ether Offices combined.

Valley City trounced the Bismarck
team last evening by the score Of to
1 according to reports received from
there last evening. The bat
terry for Valley City was not given
in the report, but as Charley Board
man was scheduled to pitch, we take
it for granted that he did. The score
would indicate that it was a good
game. We imagine that the Bismarck
fans are little crestfallen, since they
had fond hopes of capturing this
game, and perhaps the one today. Val
ley was in excellent trim after the
three Minot games, and evidently
played the real game. The game there
today will end the series with Bis
narck. re- y

Local hardware and machine houses
are finding business rather heavy at
the present time, due to the harvest
season, which is now in full swing.
There is a noticeable scarcity of ma
chinery in the. different machine
houses, to what there was rather earl
Ter in the season. The wheat crop is
damaged some by the rust, although it
is a long ways from being totally de-
stroyed. The average yield will per-
haps run about fifteen bushels to the
acre. In >Burleigh county the rust is
estimated to have cut the wheat yield
about ten to fifteen per cent. The
yield will be about fifteen bushels to
the acre, according to reports.

The ground is becoming very dry,
due to the lack Of rain. It has been
quite good while now since we have
had real shower, although it tried
to rain for a few seconds yesterday
forenoon. For a while the showers
were getting to be something like a
nuisance but it has come to point
now where we really need them. The
grass is becoming so dry in some
places that fire could do considerable
damage, once it got started. Be care
full and don't leave any fires I'M
