7 R j E PURPOSE
OF STATE BANK
NOT FOLLOWED
Farmer Doesn't Get Full Due
from Bank, Shown by Off
cial Statement
SMALL LOANS ON FARMS
Even II All Loans Are Bona
Eide and Not to FavOrites
Farmers are Left Out

The Bank of North Dakota unde,
its present system and management
apparently has made little effort tC
comply to the fullest extent possible
the chief purpose for which it was
created-proyiding longtime farm
loans. VT.
This is shown Oh the face of the
latest statement of the director gen
eral, a statement unchecked by anv
elective official of the state. Just how
great is the failure of the bank to
meet this duty to farmers is not
shown in the statement. Under the
list Of loans on real estate may be in.
cluded loans to league enterprises,
and doubtless includes such loan as
the $4,000 loan made in Golden VAL
ley county to an uncle of Congress
man Baer, who does not live in North
Dakota.
The statement of the director-gen~
eral shows loans on real estate
amounting to $2,S94,015.
The law creating the Bank Of North
Dakota contains this provision:
ut shall not, however, loan on real
estate security more than thirty per
cent of it's capital, nor in addition
thereto. more than twenty percent Of
its deposits. Additional funds, that
may be required for such real estate
loans, shall be procured from the sale
Of state bonds as may be provided by
law"
The capital Of the Bank of North
Dakota was fixed at $200O.0OO Bonds
FOR this amount We're issued, and i'm
mediately the bank began clipping
coupons and marking them up D
credit, although the bonds were not
actually sold. The deposits in the
bank, in the latest statement. are
shown to be over $16,O00,OO0. Under
the provisions of the law, the bank
could at this time have real estate
loans amounting to about $4,000 900,
whereas It falls far short Of this
amount
No bonds have been sold, and on the
present money market probably shall
not be. One loan, was made by the
bank at 7 per cent interest Farmers
of North Dakota can hope for little
aid from the Bank of North Dakota
under the present management, which
is steering farther away than ever
from rural credits institution to an
industrial bank.
If the entire amount of the real
estate loans of the Bank of North Da-
kota were bona fide, it would not ap-
proach half the amount of money
loaned to farmers by the Board of
University and School lands, which is
operated at practically no overhead
expense.
Under the present system of the
bank it is converting into profits"
interest money denied local govern
ments-with the deduction of a huge
overhead expense of nearly $10O,000'a
year.

cannot prosper today without the
strength ard guidance Of the spiritual.
Rev. Z. Weisele discussed Rel

them to the natural evil heart OF man,
the spirit of the times, lack of home

$4,000 NOM ADS
IN NEW YORK TO
MOVE TOMORROW
Estimated 1t will Take 25 Days
for People to Get Settled
Rent Laws in Force

New York. Sept. 30.-New York 5
annual fall moving day tomorrow will
be marked by unprecedented confu-
sion when $4,000 families set out to
move their 100000 loads on 1000 NOV
ing vans into new quarters, many
of which are already occupied.
This was the situation forecast by
van owners and real estate men who
hazarded guess that it would take
at least % days to settle the city's
nomads into new quarters. Arthur
J. Hilly. chairman of the city COM
mittee on rent profiteering, has ad-
vised "squatter sovereignty" under
the terms of the new law for those
who have been unable to find new
quarters.
Eviction under the law passed last
week by the legislature is possible
only on presentation of proof by land
lords that tenant is an undesirable
character, then that the landlord in
tends to occupy the apartment him
self or that the building is to be torn
down and even then the tenant cannot
be summarily evicted because the
landlord must first prove in court his
grounds for eviction.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair. be
careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali, which is very injur-
ious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil. for
this is pure and entirely greaseless.
It's very cheap. and beats the most
expensive soaps or anything else
| all to pieces. You can get this at
any drug store. and few ounces
will last the whole family for
months.
Simply molsten the hair with
water and rub it in, about tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t

the company.
The chief of police was notified
by the commission that at an eX-
ccutiye session it had been agreed
10 ask the police department to
make provisions for a vacation Of
one day out of every nine for each
policeman. The police of Albu-
Querque have a twelve-hour a day
job.
In the matter of granting a
special water rate to gardeners it
was decided to postpone any ac-
ton until a reply to a letter sent
by the city manager had been re-
IceiVed from the secretary of the

! ~ the citv in getting an adequate
water supply for the coming warm
seasor, AS there are several pro-
posed ways of obtaining more
water, the matter was referred to
the city manager, who will make
q report as early as possible.
A communication was read from
Max Nordhaus to the effect that
he would furnish and equip what
Is known as the Soldiers and Sail
ors park, for a children's park, pro-
vtded the city would make q ruling
that no child over 6 years of age
be allowed to play there; also If
the city would agree to close Thir-
tenth street to traffic as a pro-
lection to the children. No def
rite action was taken in the mat
ter, as it would involve a paving
proposition.
City Attorney w. A. Ke1eher in
formed the commissioners of the
recent collision of the highland
fire truck with a Ford car on Cen
trail avenue and said the matter
could probably be settled by the
city paying the expense of fixing
the car, which would be in the
neighborhood of $50. The city at
torney was ordered to settle along
these lines.
