FAITHFUL TO OLD VEHICLE
Ox-cart Still Used as Method of Trans portation in Parts of the South
 and in India.

Tractors are crawling over the snow-covered fields of northern Green land carrying the supplies of the Lange Koch expedition. This novel use of a newborn vehicle recalls that some of the oldest transportation methods still are employed in regions whose civilization is older than that of the Greenland Eskimo" says a buile- tin of the National Geographic sO- ciety.
 ''The ox-cart still serves the south ,ern 'darky' in North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, as well as in other DOT tions of the South, as his coach and four for the Sunday +go-to-meetin' During the week the stolid beast blows tobacco and cotton fields. In h. dia bullocks hitched to a wagon with an ornate beehive-shaped or elongated covering, not unlike the picturesque tobacco schooner, convey the Burmese man and his family along the road to Mandalay. Nor does this animal cease being a means of transportation upon his death The natives blow up his skin and use it as a float or raft on which they cross the rivers"

That is, the scientific development which makes for the progress of civilization and upon which, to a vast extent, the safety of the country is dependent. Without such a general understanding, it will be difficult or impossible to awaken our fellow countrymen to the menace of our unpreparedness in such matters, so as to secure that wide spread education and individual pro- ficiency in science which is our safe guard. With it, there will be no diff ficulty, whatsoever, in getting con gress to enact such legislation as will foster and stimulate not only our syn thetic dye and nitrogen industries, but also our chemical warfare and air services. Such acton will have an immediate and far-reaching beneficial effect upon the entire course of our development in science, at time when the world is looking to us for a lead in such matters"

'I have actually gained twenty-five pounds and I just think Tanlac is the grandest medicine in the world" said Mrs. Robert O. Reynolds. 127 North Denver St, Kansas City, Mo.
 "For ten long years I suffered from a very bad form of rheumatism, stom- ach and nervous troubles. My appe- tfte was very poor. What little I did eat SOured on my stomach and l sui fered the most severe pains in my back, hips and shoulders. My rheu- matism was so bad that I could not raise my hands to comb my hair and my arms hurt me to my finger tips I became so weak and run down that I lost all my energy and life had be come almost a burden. I tried many things but nothing helped me.

Washington, D. C.-P. P.

The grand total was $919, ,729, ,25S. In the 50 years from 1870 to 1920, we paid for public elementary and high schools $12, ,457 ASA, ,563; for normal schools, $291, III ,232; for higher educa- tion in tax-supported and privately en- dowed colleges, universities and tech nical schools, $1,SO4, ,2OO,272, a total of 14,552, ,796,037 for the 50 years.

Adding these to the totals given will make grand total of about S14 ,500,000.000 for public elementary and secondary schools, $295, ,0OO, 900 for norm9K schools and $1,950,OOO0O0 for higher education, approximately S16,645, 100000 for public schools, ele- mentary. secondary, norma, schools and higher education in schools of all kinds from the beginning of our his tory until 1920.
 Making all due allowances for defective returns, the total amount spent for public education iD 1918, in cluding current expenditures for pri- vate and endowed colleges and univer- sities, and all expenditures for capital investment in buildings and equip ment, was less than billion of dol lars. According to government re- turns for 1920, the people of the United States spent for luXuries in that year $22.700,000,000; more than twenty-two times as much as they spent for educa- tion only two years before, and $6,000,- 100000. or 30 per cent, more than we have spent for education in all our history

AN ADVANCE ON WOOL :

Fargo, N. d. Sept. An advance
of eight cents pound on wool con-
signed to the state pool at Fargo will
be given to all consignors who request
it, William Guy, secretary-manager of
the pool announces. No advance was
given consignors to the pool last year.
The price Of last years wool averages
13 cents per pound to the consignor,
after all expenses were paid, varying
according to the grade of wool each
consignor sent in. Only $4,000 pounds,
of half grade wool, remain unsold
of the 619,0O0 pounds in the 1920 pool.
The advance will be made to the
consignor within ten days after the
wool has been inspected at the Far
60 warehouse. Mr.. Guy states. The re-
mainder Of the money will be paid af-
ter the years pool has been sold. Each
consignor will be paid according to
the average price secured for the
grades into which his wool is classed,
and according to the freight advanced
on the shipment to the pool.
Wool has been coming in to the pool
for several weeks now. Wool growers
who already have sent in their wool
and wish the advance should make ap-
plication for It.

Deposit Your Money IN
Bank Of North Dakota

by the bank If the depositor had
enough on deposit to cover it. It is
true that the bank has been Obliged
to register some checks drawn on pub
lie funds because the !. v. A. had sue
ceeded in delaying the bond sale. The
bonds are now selling in rapidly in
Pcreasing numbers with the result that
the registered checks are being paid.
"Under these circumstances why
should we allow the private bankers to
have control Of our money? It is really
the only weapon they have to fight
us with and if we take that away from
them we would save the state from
this everlasting turmoil the l. v. A.
keep stirring up. Let US do our bank
ing with our own bank. In this way
ours deposits can be used to fight for
US and not against us as is now the
case.
"Let every Lacquer deposit his
money in the Bank Of North Dakota
this fall. Let us also make it point
to induce our neighbors to do likewise.
Pay your bills with a check drawn on
the Bank of North Dakota. There are
mighty few business men in North
Dakota who will dare to turn down
your check now and after the recall
election is over there will be still less.
Let's make It statewide drive for
private deposits for our own bank,

it would destroy within 60 days. Wall
Street has been trying its darndest
since then to do SO but the Bank of
