We have had several auto accidents
in the past few days and last night
for change a little accident happen
ed over at the N. P. depot. 1t seems
that an express truck was standing
along side Of the track. One or two
fellows were sitting on that truck and
in some way the handle got turned
and extended too close to the track.
No. came along and struck this han
die and dumped whoever was sitting
on that truck very unceremoniously
onto the ground in a slick and thor
ough manner. This did no damage
except to the dignity of the ones on
the truck who found themselves con-
Meeting very suddenly with the plat
form, but young fellow by the name
of Kilgard was struck either by the
handle or the truck by the force of
the impact of the engine and for an
hour was unconscious we are told. No
further injury was received and after
awhile this young man recovered. An
other lucky accident.

CROP CONDITIONS
ARE VERY FAIR

Bismarck, July 2S.-Crop condi-
tons, as observed by R. H. Thistle
thwaite statistican for the state de-
partment of agriculture, are good
throughout the state and very good in
the section including and surrounding
Burleigh county.
Mr.. Thistlethwaite estimates the
wheat crop of the state at from u.s.
100000 bushels to S0,00O,00O bushels
as compared with the Federal esti-
mate of 50 100000 bushels.
In isolated cases farmers have al
ready begun harvesting in Burleigh
Emmons, MCLEAN and kidder coun-
ties, according to information re-
ceived by the department of agricul-
ture. General harvesting will be in
full swing within week or ten days
in all parts Of the state, are the in
dications Mr.. Thistlethwaite finds.
Crops in the section of the state
Immediately surrounding Bismarck
have suffered little or no damage
from Grasshoppers. Hopper damage
is only sectional and in isolated parts
of the state. says Mr.. Thistlethwaite
Red rust has been reported in EN-.
mons county where the crop has al.
ready had sufficient rain. More rain
may produce black rust, he says.

Tower City came mighty close to
losing one of the best editors in the
state few days ago when Editor
Heinze almost drowned at the Chau
tauqua swimming hole according to
reports just received at the Times
Record Office. 1t seems that George
went in for his annual bath and took
in too much territory. Not being a
good swimmer and being too full of
blubber and fat he swallowed several
gallons of river water and contrary to
all past rules where it is alleged fatty
substance will float, he commenced to
60 under and left nothing to remind
his fellow bathers of his whereabouts
excepting few bubbles that rose in
regular order to the surface. The
others went down after him and fished
him from the deep, laid him out on the
grass, pumped his arms and legs for a
few minutes and jumped on his chest
and in a few minutes Heinze let out
a yell and then it was realized that
his life had been spared to continue
the good work he has been doing in
the old home town. The Tower City
editor just missed big red headline
at the top of the Fargo Courier News
by hairs breath. We are glad Of it,
George.

LAST OF THE GERMAN NAVY

A fleet of five German warships is
en- route to the United States. 1t con-
sists of one dreadnaught, one ar
mored cruiser and destroyers. The
dreadnaught is coming under its own
steam. The others are being lowed.
The cruiser was irreparably damaged
by the Germans before it was surren-
dered, and the destroyers were sunk at
Scapa Flow afterwards.
There is, needless to say, no menace
in this fleet. There is, however, a
peculiar interest attending its arrival.
It represents the share of German
surface warships "allocated to the
United States" in the division of the
conquered German navy among the
allies. Most Americans have never
realized that any part of that navy
was awarded to this country.
There is no occasion for any great
amount of rejoicing. The vessels are
of no use as fighting craft, and even if
they were. the peace treaty requires
that they shall all be destroyed within
year. Still, good many thousand
Americans will take pleasure in hav-
ing look at them when they arrive in
New York. and when they proceed to
Norfolk and others ports as they are
expected to do. They viii be visible
evidence, however small and unim-
portant, Of the big part that the Unit
ed States played in defeating the ma
ton that aimed at supreme sea power,
and they will be proof positive of the
utter powerlessness to which that
menacing navy has been reduced.

HAROLD HALL HURT
IN TAXI MlSHAP

Harold Hall, driving one of Harry's
Taxis, with Arthur Stevenson, bellhop
at the Rudolf Hotel, got into a bad
auto accident near the river bridge
going over to the 500 last night. The
taxi driver was in a hurry and at
tempted to pass around fellow driv-
ing load of hay or something Of that
sort, and you can guess the rest. The
ground gave way underneath the car
and then the car turned over a couple
of times. Hall has broken shoulder,
broken collar bone and several frac-
tured ribs besides few other things
too numerous to mention. The bellhop
escaped any serious injury and got off
with few minor bruises. This is an
other case of poor judgment, too much
haste and carelessness. Had the
driver waited a few seconds he could
have had the road and still made his
train connections. The car was badly
damaged. 1t was heavy Cadillac.

A representative Of the Publicity
Film Co., of Bismarck was in the city
yesterday. This company has been
filming several different doings here
in this city, such as the Fair, Chautau-
qua, the recent county superinten-
dents convention held here, the
bankers convention and others. They
have also been filming some of the
bumper crops which are found here in
this county this year. There has been
some talk of the county buying a film
like this, which would be shown in
other states as an advertisement for
Barnes county, with the object of
bringing new settlers into this coun-
ty, but up to the present time no defin-
tie action has been taken, the matter
resting with the board of county com.
missioners. If the board decides to
accept this film, the company intends
to go ahead and film the harvest OF
grain here in this county, and also the
different operations which the grair
must go through before reaching the
markets.

HOME SERVICE
PROGRAM FOR 1920

Nearly ninety per cent of the 5000
wronged girls who in the past twenty
wears have at some time resided at the
Salvation Army Home and Maternity
Hospital in St. Paul, Mimi, have been
permanently rehabilitated and with
their babies have gone out into the
world to win the respect and conf
dence of their fellow citizens, accord
ing to Adjutant Bertha Smith who is
in charge of the Home. ...
The Home can accommodate be-
tween thirty and forty girls and about,
the same number of babies in the nur-
sery. The total annual number of
births there averages more than one
"The girls who go to the home come
from many walks of life. Contrary
to the general belief, all those who
come seeking shelter and protection do
not come from homes in the so-called
lower classes" said Adjutant Smith,
Those in charge point with pride to
the large number of girls who, after
leaving the Home, later become re-
spected wives and mothers. This is
the rule rather than the exception.
A typical instance of the happy
termination of the troubles Of one of
the girls who came to the Home, is of
a young woman who lived in one Ct
the smaller cities in Minnesota. She
came to the institution in the spring
of the year, heartsick and weary
Ashamed to confide in her parents she
came to the Salvation Army because
she knew she would receive motherly
welcome.
Through the efforts of the Army,
the man who at heart loved this girl
learned of her whereabouts and came
to the Home, where they were married
several weeks ago. They are both
happy and the baby has a real daddy
after all. .
The Home is at the service of those
living in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North
Dakota and South Dakota, and the
present Home Service Program for
1920 now being inaugurated, is largely
for the purpose of placing this and it's
many other institutions at the COM
mand of those who are in need of
them.

Considerable advertising was done
the past few days trying to get a
meeting of the Commercial Club to
consider several matters of import
ance to the business interests OF the
CITY and after all this noise and adver-
Using only six business men turned
up at the club rooms, not sufficient
number to form a quorum and the
meeting was not held. This shows a
mighty poor spirit on the part Of the
town. We are either getting too dead
to skin in Valley City or the business
men have absolutely no interest in
their city-yet they stand around on
the street corners and tell of the
great things we ought to do to make
this great city.

WHERE HAS THE MONEY GONE?
What does the Bank Of North Da-
kota want with 81, 100000 of borrowed

WHERE HAS THE MONEY GONE?
What does the Bank Of North Da-
kota want with $l,OOO,0OO OF borrowed
money? :,
public money Of various kinds, has
been deposited in the Bank OF North
Dakota, yet here it is borrowing ST.
100000 in Chicago and paying Z per
cent at least for it on the plea that it
wants to retain "as much money as
possible" in various local banks, on
which deposits it is receiving per
cent.
Also what agreement did the state
bank make with the Chicago tinanciers
when it borrowed this money?
Did it agree to keep certain sum
on deposit with the Chicago bankers
in consideration for getting the loan!
Did it agree to keep an average de-
post of, say 100000, on which it
would draw perhaps per cent or, 5
per cent interest, in return for the
privilege of borrowing mony at z per
cent?
Nobody but Mr.. Cathro knows.
And there is no way of finding out
the CruCn.
But here is a bank into which more
, than $35, 0O0,O 900 of public money has
been poured within year, and it is
going to Chicago to borrow 1,OOO,O 900
for which X must pay at least z per
cent.
What has it done with the money?
1t isn't out in farm loans, accord
ing to it's own report.
Remember, this wasn't sale of
bonds which the bank achieved, but a
short time loan with the bonds given
as security. The banks capital is still
owned by the depositors, so far as
anybody knows or can find out.
Whether the bonds given for security
are the same bonds that were bought
with the deposits in the bank, it is i'm
possible to find out.
And meanwhile the state admins
, tration discreetly refuses to permit the
state auditor to make an examination
of the banks books. Can you blame
the state administration much?-Far-
go Forum.
