which will make quicker action seem
desirable.
The feeling that the recall is in
evitable has grown steadily during
the last few days, largely a result Of
the efforts for an agreement made py
bankers and representatives of the
state administration regarding the
sale Of the state bonds.
It Is o generally conceded that
this agreement has fallen through,
due not only to the fact hat neither
party here was willing to ratify the
agreement, but also because the
bankers were unable apparently to
carry through their part OF the plan
as long as the present state admins
tration remains in power.

School Situation Serious

School officials in the districts in
the western half of the state and also
a few in the eastern portion, are plain
ly worried over the situation which
confronts them.
Many Of the districts have all their
funds tied up (frozen) in the Bank of
North Dakota. These districts have
no available cash. They can only
pay the teachers in warrants, which
local banks will not cash and which
the statezowned bank will merely
register and return. AS rule the
teachers need every dollar they can
earn to meet expenses. They do
not care to sign contracts with school
districts that have been deprived of
their money by the present state ad-
ministratioh.
The school officials are at loss to
find way out. They feel that as a
result Of the condition brought about
by the, radicals, the better class of
teachers will leave the state and that
inferior teachers will take their place.

bank, and is visiting old friends in
Northwestern North Dakota and at
tending to business matters. Mr..
Erickson is doing well in the west.
The Ferndale farmers are engaged
in raising fruits of all kinds, in
gardening, ,dairying and poultry
raising. The cherry growers are
having more or less trouble because
the canneries this year bought only
certain kinds of~cherries, refusing the
pie cherries of all kinds. The grow
ers received only cents a quart, a
much lower figure than last year. Mr..
Erickson has not yet gotten used to
the rain. Last winter an extraor-
binary amount of moisture fell, altho
the weather was not cold enough for
freezing. Henry Thompson and
family, Carl Lee and family andMr.
and Mrs. L. C. Wold, formerly of this
