Farmers Said To Have Sold

Obtain Funds, When State

Bank Manager Now Urges
That They Be Not Paid Be-
cause Money Will Go Out
OF North Dakota.
(By Staff Correspondent }

Bismarck, N. ID. Jan. 24.-A large
proportion of the unpaid hail insur-
ance warrants for 1919 are now held
outside of the state. f. w. Cathro,
manager of the Bank of North Dako-
ta said today, and their payment at
this time will mean that q large
amdant of ready cash will so to other
states. I'm probably three-fourths of
the cases, the farmers holding the
warrants have had them discounted
at their local banks, am inclined
to think said MIR. Cathro.
'The local banks in their turn have
sent the warrants to corresponding
banks outside Of the state as col
. lateral. for funds.
1 This means that while the money
with which these warrants must be
paid must be drawn from North Da-
kota banks in which it has been re-
deposited by the Bank of North Da-
lsota. :, The money thus Withdrawn
will be sent to banks outside of the
state which now hold the warrants.
For this reason we have been ad-
vising that the calling in of these war
rants be delayed to some extent until
the. financial situation in North Dako-
ia eases up to some extent, as it is
upon the banks in which this money
has been deposited that the greatest
hardship will be worked"

to the galleys for five years. Twice
he attempted to escape and failed. He
was a convict for 10 years. When he
was discharged ins1S15 he was wicked,

his affectionate nature had been
poisoned against society. But he had
taught himself how to read, and he
had thought.
Refused shelter or food at tavern
or private house, he came to Monsign-

foothills of the Alps. He was treated
like prince, but in the night he stole
some of the bishops silver plate, was
caught as he made off and was brought
back to the good bishop, who, with a
smile, assured the gendarmes that the
articles were not stolen but given.
Adding two silver candlesticks, the
bishop said to him: ''Take them and
become an honest man. My brother,

LET US INVESTIGATE"

\ United States senator seems always to be suspicious person. Apparently he IS born that way. He is usually an arrant sleuth burning with curiosity regarding every busi- ness activity he encounters or knows of by hearsay. Both houses of congress are com posed of members whose coniectures and sus- picions account for four -ffths of the regular sessions.
 If all the money which has been spent on investigating and re-nvestigating every phase of the oil business, to no purpose but to prove its basic integrity could have been saved for the benefit of the various government agcn- cies, it would be enough to assist to a ccr tain extent in solving the present problems of taXatOn
 The past three months have witnessed the drop of petroleum prices and refincr products prices in general. All of this phenomena is based upon strictly economic conditions.
 All of sudden, however, one of the nations senatorial slcuths, notes that there has been a decrease in gasoline prices; he learns also that there hay" been decreases in crude oil prices, and in endcavoring to harmonizc these two facts without expert assistance comes to the agonizing concluston that there exists "monopolistic manipulation" of pc troleum products.
 The senator has proposed an investigation to be undertaken by the senate commerce com mittee to determine whether there is "monop- Iistic manipulation" or not. This "monopO- listnc manipulation" bubble has been pune tured and found to contain nOthng-by at least three of the most recent investigation by federal and state governments.

DON'T KICK; BE A NATIONAL BANK

There is a very useful law in the United States by which a national bank can issue eur rcncy money upon depositing the equivalent in United States bonds in the United States trra- sury. The bank continues to own the bonds and draw the regular interest on them Wjil" they are still in Uncle Sans custody Th" money issued by the bank reaches all of us in $5, $1O and $20 notes and we pass them everywhere at 100 cents on the dollar.
 That's what United States bonds will do for a national bank.
 Liberty bonds are also United States gov crnmcnt bonds for which the people paid Uncle Sam 100 cents on the dollar But al though owners of Liberty bonds do not ask for the favor in issuing money on such bonds, when the time comes that they want to sell them, interest and all, and get much needed cash for them, they have to accept considerably less than 100 cents on the dollar.
 In other words, the national bank eats its cake and still has it. The ordinary fellow on the other hand only gets a part of his cake to eat, and when eaten it is all gone for good
