There is great deal of speculation
as to how the management of the
Bank of North Dakota will be able
to meet the demands for withdrawal Of
funds after Dec. I'd, when the initiated
law goes into effect allowing counties,
cities and townships and school dis
tricts to deposit their funds wherever
they can get the best rate of interest.
If the Bank of North Dakota has
been properly handled in a business
like manner, there should be no
trouble, Certainly unstable accounts
such as these could not be used for
any permanent business proposition
which would prevent calling them in
at any time when needed. For in
stance, a school district taxes its peo-
pie sufficient to run it through the
year. At one time there may be a
large fund on hand, and at another
time of the year, The district may be
out of funds. Hence, it is easy to
see that such funds could not properly
be used to build a mill and elevator,
or to loan on real estate.
The Bank of North Dakota will con-
tinue to handle all state funds. If
Cathro has not placed some of our
funds where they cannot be gotten at,
then the law would be no hardship.
If he has done otherwise, he has GER
tainly used poor judgment.
There is only one way to secure
funds for industrial enterprises or to
loan on real estate, and that. is by bond
issue. Money should not be used for
such purposes that is not permanently
available, as in the case of bonds, long
time sinking funds or endowments.
The fact is no state bank was need
ed. A rural credits system could have
been perfected to loan money to the
farmers without the Bank of North
Dakota at all. Industries to build
should have been financed by bond is
sues. Then there would have been
no need to mix all our district and
county funds into the general hotch-
potch.
Humpty Dumpty may have nothing
on our state banking business when
the matters are finally adjusted, to say
nothing of what the examination of the

paper under present laws Is to watch
the new subscribers come into the Rec
ord Office since election. Thirty-eight
new ones have been added, and the
election returns are hardly cold.
People want the newspaper that is
the official newspaper, if there is to be
only one in the county,
And, of course, that's the way the
league forces wanted it And what's
sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander.

banks inner workings may show.

Townley's schemes have fallen down
so far as any real benefit to the far
mers is concerned. There has been
enough money sqnandered on political
fights, and on fake promotion schemes
to build a larger mill and elevator than
the state will ever build.
But even when we have the mill and
elevator, what of it? We shall never
have warehouses sufficient to store all
our grain. And, if we had, the prob
lem would not be solved. The far
mer can very we'll store his grain at
home. What he needs is finances to
carry him over the winter while wait
ing for the rise in grain prices. And,
even then, if all the farmers were to
hold their wheat until spring, the pc
Rod of low prices would come in the
spring instead of the fall. Wneneve-
the grain was dumped on the market,
then would come the drop in price.
No man or set of men will ever be
able to hold the price of grain up.
Something can be done, however, to
cut down the loss between the pro-
Queer and the consumer. But North
Dakota hasn't done it, and never will,
no matter whether Frazier, Bill Lem
Ike, or anyone else is at the helm.
Farmers elevators have done much
to simplify the farmers problem.
The farmers have been generally sue
cess full in that line. And, if they will
put fifty per cent of the energy into
similar methods that they have dis
played in building up a political ma
chine for Art. Townley, they will bring
about an improvement.
Either in politics or business, the
Record stands ready and willing to CO.
operate with the farmers in any man
ner possible to solve their problems.
But these problems will never be solv-
ed while the farmers stand on one side
making faces at the business men and
the business men freeze up and refuse
to discuss their troubles with their
farmer customers, while Townley and
his minions keep up a constant howl
to egg each side into the fight against
the other.
Farmers, Townley and his gang
have demonstrated that they can't run
this state. Shall we all get together
now and work out our own salvation,
or shall we continue to fight and quar-
rel for the financial gain of the car
petbaggers?
The fight that has been started in
North Dakota between the farmers
and the townspeople is like the story
in the school book anent the mice and
the cheese. Two mice didn't have the
same sized pieces of cheese, so they
hunted up referee to equalize the
portions. The referee proceeded 70
do so by eating first from one and
then from the other cheese. He very
conveniently had trouble in getting
them equalized and when he had quit
he had eaten both portions.

Judge Graham, who was one of
Gov. Frazier's three appointees under
the redistricting act of 1919, met with
disaster in the battle Of ballots.
Judge Allen and Geo. NJ. McKenna,
of Napoleon, Independents, carried the
district by substantial majorities over
Graham and Ego, the league candi-
dates.
Judge Graham could have probably
been reelected if he had seen fit to
leave the Townley political endorse
ment alone.

Sen. Harding's mammoth victory
in the recent general election is the
cause of much comment and specula-
ton in the newspapers throughout the
United States. It. is claimed that
Harding got the vote that didn't want
US to go to war in 1917, and he got
the vote that wanted us to go to war
in 1914. He is said to have received
support from those who felt Germany
was not fairly treated in the peace
terms, and he got the support of those
who thoughtG Germany was treated too
leniently. And so on, and so on.
The fact is the Wilson administra-
ton had become thoroughly unpopular
throughout the nation, and the ava
lanche of republican ballots was the
result.
: Wilson started the stampede, with
his single track. mind; and Cox finish
ed the job with his mud-slinging CAM
paign.
Harding has vast majority in both
house and senate, and has every op-
portunity to work out the nations fu-
ture according to republican principles.
1t goes without saying that no execu-
tive can satisfy all the people. But
it has been amply demonstrated that
the people of this country do not want
a one-man government. Congress is
part of the government, and must
be allowed to function according to
its rights, rather than as an unimporc-
ant adjunct of the executive mind.
Harding is not an agitator, neither
is he reactionary. His administra-
ton should do we'll by the people of
this nation.

Conducted by the Farm Bureau.
Commercial chicken feeds to stimu-
late egg production are not used by the
majority of the leading poultry men OF
the state. That fact was brought out
in q recent survey made by the poui-
try extension men of Iowa State Col
lege.
A QUESTIONABLE was sent out to the
leading ponltry men of the state and
81 reports were received. OF these 81,
there were "a who had never used COM
mercial feeds for stimulating egg pro-
duction. OF the % who had used COM
mercial feeds, II stated that they be-
lieved the feeds were valuable and the
other IL stated tn at the feeds were not
beneficial.
The Iowa poultry department at
Ames recommends the following:
Scratch feed; two parts.corn; one
part of wheat and one Of oats.
Dry mash; one part ground corn; two
parts ground oats; one part gluten,
three-fourths tankage. Sour milk OF
buttermilk could take the place of tank
age.
Green feeds, as cabbage, sprouted
oats, steamed alfalfa hay are benefic'
ial. Fresh clean water is essential.
Gravel or crushed stone are necessary
for grit. Oyster she'll supplies the hen
with material needed to form egg shells
Large quantities of alfalfa seed are
being imported from Italy and Argen-
tina according to the Market Reporter
of the U. S. Bureau of Markets. 1t is
not prob able that much of the imported
seed will reach this part of the coun'
try. A number of Howard County
farmers are planning or seeding aifal'
ia for the first time. They will apply
lime to the fields that they are seeding
down for they have found that it is the
lack of that substance that has caused
the most trouble in growing alfalfa. II
is hoped that only the hearties. strains
will be used and that the imported seec
will find it's way into western states
where there is less trouble in getting

To become successful feeder one
must first find the likes and dislikes OF
