Crescent OTers Big Features.

Monte Blue, the big W~esterner
who made a distinct success recently
in the Cecil De Mile production or
Something to Think About" has
probably the strongest role in his
screen career in the Charles Maigne
production of"The Kentuckians," the
well known John Fox, Jr. novel,
which comes to the Crescent thea
tire for three days beginning tomor-
row. He enacts the role of Booze
Stallard, a Kentucky mountaineer,
who goes tc the legislature with the
ambition of winning emancipation
for his fcIlowmen.
No sooner does he attend a SEES
sion of the legislature than he has
a clash with Randolph Marshall, a
Kentucky a~ristocrat, who vows that
the only way to get order into the
mountainous regions is to disrupt
the mountaineers' country. A feud
in the mountains causes Stallard to
flee to his people and he demon
strates successfully that he can rule
them. When he returns to Frank
fort, planning to S the hand OF
the governors daughter in mar
riage, he is brought to a sudden
realization of the difference between
the mountaineers and the Blue
Grass people and refrains from any
such step and the picture closes
with the assumption that Marshall
wins the girl.
Tom Santschi in la Elle of Phan-
ton" q great picture of thrills is also
an added feature on the program.

HOW ABOUT The
JULY SALARY?

Minot, N. D. July 29.-President
Levi H. Beeler of the Minot Normal
school on returning yesterday from
conference with members of the
board of administration at Bismarck:
stated that he had been advised that
the money to meet the salaries of
faculty members of the Minot Nor
NAL, unpaid for June, will be forth
coming soon. The salaries of mem
bers Of faculties of state educational
institutions have been unpaid due to
the failure of the Bank Of North Da-
kota to honor drafts.

the board relative to the crowded
condition at the Minot Normal and
it is understood a plan is now under
way to relieve the situation. The
legislature last winter appropriated

STATE TAX LAW
KNOCKED OUT

Attempts Of the State of North Da.
kota to levy taxes on national banks
on the basis Of 90 per cent valuation
are knocked out by the United States
circuit court Of appeals in decision
announced today.
The decision affirms the United
States district court, which held that
the state was. attempting to levy upon
national banks rate Of taxation in
excess of the rate of taxation levied
against other forms of invested capi-
tai.
Legislation subjecting national
banks to taxes in excess of those lev
led against other forms of invested
capital is banned under the national
bank law. Congress provides that
national banks must be taxed on an
equal basis.
The First National bank and the
Merchants National Bank of Fargo
joined in an action that is directed
against E. C. Eddy, treasurer Of Cass
county, prohibiting him from at
tempting to enforce the collection Of
taxes provided for by the state act.
The federal court decisions grant the
banks the relief they asked.

SUSPECT
IN THE TOLLS

Andy Walok, who claims to be an
Austrian, attempted to pass check
for $97.50 through the Farmers State
Bank of Nome few days ago, forging
the name of Mr.. Tingley, a prominent
farmer to the check. Cashier c. T..
Dokken en- examining the check saw
that the signature was not perfect and
refused to cash the check and said he
would call Mr.. Tingley. Walok then
said Mr.. Tingley was in town and
would go out and get him and he left
the bank carrying the check with him.
It is alleged that he tore this check
up on leaving the bank as he did not
return there. Mr.. Dokken's testimony
as to the defendant trying to pass
this check was corroborated by Leo
Hanson, banker from Williston who
happened to be visiting Mr.. Dokken
at that time. The officials were mott
fled and Walox was taken into GUS
tody by Deputy Sheriff Simon and
brought to this city. The hearing was
held this morning before Justice l. j.
Moe and after a preliminary exam
ination the defendant was bound over
to the next term of the district court
his bail being fixed at one thousand
dollars which he was unable to give.
Walox says his home is near Pitts
burg. Pa, and that he is married and
Las three children.

.TOSELL
SURPLUS STOCK

Plans are under way to dispose Of
all surplus material Of the Home
Builders Association Of North Dakota.
j. B. Adams, manager, said today.
Following his return from Grand
Forks where he sold some material
Mr.. Adams said he expected to dis
pose of surplus material in Fargo
Bismarck and Mandan. a;
NJ. Adams said that there are no
new projects contemplated because
bonds have not been sold. He also
lis opposed to. the state carrying huge
stocks of material, if the Home
Builders Association is continued.
'We figure that the handling costs
of material are about 81 percent" said
Mr.. Adams. "and we have had one Of
fer to furnish material at Is per-
cent charge over wholesale price"
The inventory of surplus material
on hand in the association showed
the amount to be about $4,000 the
frs of the year, he said. It has since
been decreased somewhat.
The Home Builders Association is
nov about $1,000 to $4,000 in debt on
current bills. it was stated by Mr.
Adams. He declared, however, that
sale of surplus material and pay
ments of home builders would give
the association funds to meet it's pres
ent obligations. The association was
given an appropriation Of 100000
when it began business and has an
annual appropriation of $500 for
salaries for the next two years.
1t is not expected that any new
work will be started this summer by
the association because Of lack Of
building funds. It undertook the con-
struction or purchase of % houses in
Bismarck, 1 in Coleharbor, in Un-
derwood and % in Fargo. Some are
not completed, although Mr.. Adams
said that the program was 80 percent
complete. sss,.
Negotiations are under way for
the signing of contracts with home
builders. contracts not having been
previously signed. Mr.. Adams has
been in charge of the association but
a few months. ~>

VALLEY CITY
WINS FROM FARGO

Probably the most exciting game
of ball ever. pulled off on the Fargo
diamond was that played last night
when Valley City beat out the Gate
way City bunch by a score of to 2.
We do not know just what happened
but the game came near ending in a
regular riot. At is was there was a
bad mixup between the two teams and
taeir admirers. From what we learn
some of the Fargo rough necks start
ed in calling some Of our fellows some
rough names and they would not
stand for that and before you could
take a second look there was a mix
up, this called several others into the
fight and for few minutes it SEEM
ed as if the entire state militia would
have to be called out to quell the riot
Order was restored after awhile and
the game continued. Aa the time the
mixup came about Valley City had
three men on bases and Goheen, who
was one of the fellows in the deal, was
sort of mad and he pasted out the pill
for three bases which won the game.
Gilbert previous to that had knocked
out a home run. There seems to be no
justification in the Fargo players
pulling off this rough stuff. After the
game the feeling was so high that J.
H. Sampson was challenged by the
Fargo bunch to play a series of three
games with Fargo for $500. The pro-
liability is that the challenge will be
taken up provided that a fair and
suitable umpire can be secured and a
proper disposition made as to where
these games shall be played. Fargo
Of course wants them played there but
that would not be fair. One should
be played at Fargo, one at Valley City
and the third game should be decided
by lot. There will be record attend
ance if these games are scheduled
wherever they are played. The Fargo
sports are poor losers anyway. Both
the basketball players and base ball
players always have about seventeen
different kinds of alibis every time
they lose game and they quit always
with a crouch. Play the game right
and if you lose take it gracefully and
be sports.

PRICE NOW AND
AYEAR AGO

C. D. Litchner of Wilton, North Da-
kota, said in answer to the question
GLOW does the price of livestock COM
pare with the price Of agricultural
necessities "A year ago l could
have gotten So, 800 for my herd Of cat
Gle. At the present time I cannot
get 81, 900 for them after feeding them
one year. In comparison, herder
now costs 1875 which is scarcely any
reduction while my cattle are down
one-half. Commodities that have to
be purchased are at least 100 per cent
higher in proportion than are our COM
modities that we have to SELL" Ever
EFT Brothers at Washburn, in answer
ing the same question, said. "There is
no comparison. Machinery is twice
as high as it was before the war,
when wheat was about the same price
as it is now.

.BOLDHOLDUP
STAGED LAST NIGHT

Holdup artists are getting bolder
these days. While coming down
Fourth avenue at about 1880 this
morning, Jack Erickson, a baker work
ing at the Butternut Bakery, was held
up by two bandits, who stepped from
behind tree one block north of the
postoffice and told Jack to throw up
his hands quick. Now Jack knows
when to do that and he lost no time
doing it. A big Colt automatic was
pushed up in front Of Jacks face, and
the barrel Of it even in the gathering
gloom, looked about as large as one Of
the big. Berthas that we used to read
about during the war. They secured
about 1920 out Of Mr.. Erickson's
pockets and then told him to beat it
without any noise and he beat it. We
do not like to see our citizens held up
in this bold manner but after this they
must get in earlier and avoid the rush.
Mr.. Erickson says he would be un-
able to identify his assailants.
