state. This is what the Louisiana VIC
tim says:
Everything has gone to h here.
No work at any price. Some sawmills
are working men as low as $1.50 q
day and charging $1.1O a day for
board. This in turn busts us farmers,
as the workers in the sawmills and
oil fields are our biggest market. The
cramps" are almost eating each 9th
er at Eldorado, Arkansas. At the big,
new oil field there, I staid ten days
but failed to get a job of any kind
and l am dead broke and in the hole
for groceries even. I thought times
might pick up a little when Harding
got in, but it is worse now than thir-
ty days ago. The railroads are still
cutting down their force all along the
line. /,
It's a shame we ever got civilized!
And to think that Man lived ten thous-
and years ago with no tools to work
with but a crooked stick, while we
must starve with our great labor
saving machinery! What an insane
race we farmers and workers are!"

Neverwas Nestos or some other Iva
please tell US if the Nonpartisan Lea
que is responsible for the disaster
their gang has brought on Arkansas
and Louisiana? And, since they have
complete control down there, indus
trially, agriculturally, financially, po-

do something to relieve the farmers
and workers they have ruined by their
hoggish greed and brainless admins

need to speak at once.
The truth is, and it is as old as the
hills, that "God helps ONLY those
who HELP THEMSELVES. That's
why North Dakota is still some better

Did YOU know that under the Fed
eral rules there are over 40 .ssgrades''
Of wheat on the market? Instructors
Of the Agricultural College complain
that it IS very hard to get the boys
coming up from the farms, where men
are inclined to still think naturally,
to sayvy all this federalized nom
sense, and we sure don't blame the
boys for no natural human being can
understand the rules laid down by the
Federal Bureaucracy and more than.
he can understand a decision Of q
Supreme Court. All he knows is that
somehow or other the farmers and
workers get the worst Of it in the
rules and decisions. There's some con-

BANK OFFICIALS ALL BONDED

Recently a number of men were
discussing the Bank of North Dakota,
in one of the business places in this
city, and they agreed that the Bank
of North Dakota was alright but the
officials were not bonded. One Of the
men was not not quite satisfied with
this so he wrote to the bonding depart
ment and following is the letter he
received:
In reply to your inquiry Of the 7th
I am pleased to inform you that all
officials Of the Bank Of North Dakota
are duly bonded with the State Bond
ing Department. The bond of Mr..
Cathro, as Director General, is in the
sum Of $50, 10000 0 while the other Of
ficials range from $25, 0O0. 90 down to
lower amounts depending upon the re-
sponsibility of their offices. AS pre-
viously stated, all officials are bond
ed this ever including janitors in that
institution.
It does not hardly seem fair that
the Bank of North Dakota and other
State industries should receive the
harsh criticism they are receiving; not
that they should not be criticised, if
such criticism was of a constructive
nature, but at present most of the
criticism is merely Of a destructive
nature. Many people within u State
at this time are criticisng the Bank of
North Dakota and other State insti-
buttons for not making any progress
when they themselves are doing ev-
erything in their power to hinder the
progress of such institutions. Their
criticism under such circumstances is
really unjust.
I presume that it is not necessary
for me to go into further detail in
explaining more fully the half truths
that may be present in your neighbor-
hood, but I wish to assure you that it
there are other matters upon which
you would like to receive additional
information, I shall be glad to use my
influence in helping you obtain it.
Yours very truly,
Harold Hopton,
Mgr. State Bonding Fund.

Democratic government, tied to au-
tocratic industrialism, is the most un-
democratic thing the world ever saw,
says Gilbert K. Chesterton, and the
news drifting in from every corner
of this private park of the inte1na-
tional plutocrats, heretofore known as
the United States of North America,
bears witness to the truth Of Chester
toms observation.
Here's n item. Down in Arkansas,
according to the New York Times
(3-27-21), the public schools are be-
ing supported by voluntary taxa
tion", public roads that have been
finished, and which cost from $780,
900 to 100000 a mile to build, are al
ready in need Of repair, while work on
other roads in process of construction
has ceased; road taxes alone run as
high as $500 per acre, and one tax
payer out of every three is threatened
with bankruptcy from this tax alone.
The people of the state do not know
what they owe nor what they are
headed for. All they are certain of is
that they have been taxed out of
house and home and robbed to a fare
we'll by the Old Gang politician for
the sole benefit of the bondlords, land
lords, road building companies and
their allied bankers and other graft
ers.

recently received by the Bank Of

never has and never will be beaten.
To the Bank Of North Dakota,

Gentlemen:
Herewith find inclosed two money
orders: one from Harold Whittemore

1882 E. Calf. Ave-, Glendale, Cal. one
dollar. IF your rules permit place
these on interest (compound) at what
aver rate you can afford for Is years.
Make the first payable to either Har-
old Whittemore or Robert Tuttle
| Whittemore. The latter is a grandson
Of mine, and is now 8 years old. He

Your circular calling for money
came to me FROM a friend and believe

cent for this cause as my income is
barely sufficient to meet the expenses
but being only ~ today I took my
wheelbarrow, pick and shovel and
went out last week and earned $3.50,
for this purpose and it is not a sacri-
flee but q pleasure. The job Of labor
was in my bones.
This letter carries u $3.50, and if
health and strength continue another
sum . duplication Of this, will so out
to u in May.
Signed-Harold Whittemore,.

The story. which is dramatic in
the extreme, is written and directed
by Charles A. Logue, author of
some thirty successful scenarios,
everyone of which has been pro-
duced. some among them having
had extremely long Broadway runs.
An extraordinary cast has been

ma Irrah. G.. II. Carlyle A. c. Miller

The story. though intensely thrill

while it has to do with the age old
conflict of the X for supremacy,
it is presented in such a manner as
to merit the highest praise.
Also included in the program is

The thing that will probably inter-

ATTACK VALIDITY OF
STATE PLANT BOARD
Mandamus Sought In Supreme Court 30
Compel Railroad 10 Furnish Cars.

TALLAHASSEE. March Especial
to The Journal)-W. w. Flournoy, of
DeFuniak Springs, is In Tallahassee
the validity of the act of 1916 creating
! the state plant board. 1t appears that
one A. II. Wolyn, Mr.. F1ournoy's client,
has grown upon his lands in Liberty
county, five carloads CT japanese cane.
which he desires to ship to a purchaser
or purchasers. He made application to
the Apalachicola Northern Railroad COM
pany to place cars and receive for ship
ment at Villas in that county. the cane
The railroad company declined to place
the cars or to receive the shipment and
assigned as its reason the fact that the
state plant board has quarantined Lib
erty county. In suit in the name OF
the state of Florida upon the relation
of A II. Wolyn, application was filed
by Mr.. F'lournoy in the supreme court
for writ of mandamus to compel the
railroad company to furnish the cars
and receive the shipment This appI-
cation was denied by the supreme court.
but 1t is learned that Mr.. F1ournoy, who
is still in the city. is working upon an
amended application which he will in
all probability file early tomorrow. Ir
is learned that Mr.. Flournoy contends
that the act creating the state plant
board is invalid. The matter is of spe-
cial interest in view of the fact that Mr..
Flournoy was, up to a week or 10 days
ago, a member of the board Of control
and of the state plant board.
