Fairchild was signed by Pomerance.
Fairchild reported June 18th, his
first game being against Pollock. He
pitched through the season with great
er or less regularity until the Stras-
burg game, July Oath In that game
he made monkey of himself. After
that contest, the local team .disbanded.
The management offered to pay Fair
child his regular salary up to August
lst. However, that gentleman de-
manded salary until August 18th, a
difference of SIS. He refused to &C.
cept the money due him to August
1st, and went to Bismarck. There he
retained O'Hare & Cox, and proceed
ed to sue Ed. Miller, A. Pomerance
and the Record man-for $3.50 in
salary from July 18th to August 18th,
and for $50 for pitching the first game
against Pollock, a total of 5000. They
also garnisheed the base ball account
in the bank, but the account just about
covers what Fairchild really has COM
ing, or SIS, and he is welcome to that.
How Joe ever happened to hook the
editor of this paper in on his lawsuit
is mystery. Harry Hinton was the
party he was really after, no doubt.
The case will no doubt be heard at
district court at Linton in December.
Joe will then have chance to find
out how much he has coming. It is
generally believed that he has been
well paid for the effort expended on
the local team. Joe is a mighty lazy
little boy, and really hates to work
hard in hot weather. That atti Ne
of his proved most costly to the |, )l
team several times during the season.
And maybe Joe will get more than the
SIS offered hin-and maybe he won't.

NOTICE TO SCHOOL OFFICERS
AND PATRONS

There are number of good home
teachers available for positions. They
have had experience, and the fact
that the minimum salary law makes
their salary more than you can get
outside teachers for should not make
you hesitate in hiring them. Give
the home girls a chance if they are
qualified. If you have to pay $40
a month the money stays right here,
and it will be an incentive fer home
people to become teachers, and we
will soon have enough home teachers
SO we will not have to import teach
ers from the outside.

PRESS BOYS HAVE GOOD MEET
Members Of North Dakota Press AS
sociation Assemble in jamestown
Last Week for Annual. Get-To-
gether. Many Excellent Address
es ON Program.

The meeting of the North Dakota
Press Association at jamestown Fri
day and Saturday Of last week proved
to be one Of the best ever held by the
organization. The number Of edi-
tors in attendance was smaller than
in some formers years but that is
partially accounted for by the fact
that many Of the newspaper boys
have been driven from the state BY
the nonpartisan league. There is
hardly county in the state but that
has had some newspaper suspensions
since the socialist gained control Of
the state government. \
The regular program began Friday
afternoon with an address by the

TREASURER GETS SCHOOL FUND
Money or Check for State Apportion-
ment Turned Down by Bank of
North Dakota Secured by Treas.
urer Carley. Districts Get Their
Money.

Some weeks ago the Record made
note of the fact that County Treas.
urer Carley had been left holding the
sack on the matter of the state school
apportionment for the districts of this
county. In other words he had re.
ceived from the state treasurer q
check for some $4,000, the amount due
the Emmons county school districts
the check drawn on the Bank of North
Dakota. Mr.. Carley then deposited
the check to his account in local
bank and proceeded to draw his own
checks to the various school districts
Shortly after the checks he had writ
ten were in the mail he was notified
that the Bank Of North Dakota had re-
fused to pay the state treasurer's
check-and Mr.. .Carley thus had a
bunch Of checks out without funds
to meet the same. He at once called
up the various banks, and stopped
payment on the checks he had written.
Since that time Mr.. Carley has been
attempting to get these school funds
cut of the Bank of North Dakota with
out success. They simply didn't have
the money, and there were fifty-three
counties clamoring for the coin due
them. A few days ago the county
treasurer received tip as to how he
might get the money due Emmons
county. He and M. T. Barger, Of
the First National here, at once drove
to Bismarck, and they came back with
the funds. We are not at liberty.
however, to give the details of how it
was done. They might have occasion
to try to get money again in the
future. We will say however, the
Bank of North Dakota didn't meet the
check.
The Bank Of North Dakota is un-
able to meet such school accounts.
It has even been turning down salary
accounts of employees of some Of the
state institutions. In addition, the
state guaranty fund has levied some
100000 on the various state banks
of the state to make good the de-
posits in a defunct state bank. This
money has been deposited in the Bank
Of North Dakota, and has gone like
the rest, instead of paying off the
deposits for which it was levied. In
other words, real, honest-to-goodness
money has been dragged out of every
state bank under the guaranty act,
and has been used to bolster up the
Bank of North Dakota instead of pay
ing the losses for which it was raised.
And there are some thirty or thirty
five banks the deposits Of which must
eventually be made good by the state
banks Of the state. If they have to
bolster up the Bank of North Dakota
as well, there are no doubt interesting
times ahead for the state banks of
North Dakota.

MISS HANAN DIES;
 MYSTERY UNSOLVED
Heiress in Last Conscious Moment. Refuses to Tell Why Her Friend
 Shot Her.

New York. Sept. 26.-Miss Mildred E. Hanan. daughter of the late All fred E. Hanan, daughter of the late fred F. Hanan. the shoe manufac- turer. died at o'clock yesterday morning in the Long Island college hospital. from one of three bullet wounds inflicted on her early Friday in front of 35 Schermerhorn street. by Mrs. Grace Lawes, who afterward shot and killed herself.
 Miss Hanan died without throwing any light on the motive which led Mrs. Lawes to shoot her and commit suicide. For the last four hours, the dying woman did not talk at all. though she was conscious part of the time. Before that. she had turned her head away when efforts were to question her as to the cause of the attack.
 The motive undoubtedly was jeal- ousy." said Reuben Wilson. assistant district attorney, in Brooklyn last night. We have enough information from other sources to show that. We learned nothing on this subject from Miss Hanan."

The Carpenter Bee. who lived in the big poplar by the brook. wasn't building a house for Mrs. Ladybug. That skiliful woodworker hadn't been able to agroo with her--so he told Buster Bumbiebec. Furthermore, he knew nothing of Mrs. Ladybug's pres ent plans as to where she was going to spend tho winter.
 Nor did anybody else. IL was all a great mystery. And Mrs. Ladybug seemed to enjoy 1t far more than her neighbors did. She was the only per- son that could have solved it for them. And she wouldn't

 My winter quarters will be wind proof" Mrs. Ladybug told them. And . that speech set them all to guessing again.
 Almost everybody said then that she was going to live underground.
 'I shall not feel a drop of rain not even during the January thaw." Mrs. Ladybug went on,

 It really seemed as if Chirpy Crick- ct had solved the great mystery.

 That night it was colder than ever. And the next day Mrs. Ladybug went all around the orchard and the gar den bidding people good-by.
 Still she wouldn't tell where she was going. And if Daddp Longlegs hadn't happened to stroll around the cherry tree outside Farmer Greens chamber window that afternoon, mo- body would have known where Mrs. was going. And if Daddy Longlegs saw her. And he hastened to spread the news.
