It is easier for a camel to crawl
through the eye of needle than for
the people of the state to get the facts
regarding the state industries through
the legislative committee investigating
the same. Mr.. Cathro, manager of
the bank, assisted by Mr.. Lemke:
who has taken upon himself the duties
of trying to run the Legislature as we'll
as the affairs of the state, with other
league leaders are doing the best they
can to cover up the rotten condition of
the Bank of North Dakota and are
using every subterfuge to try and keep
the truth from the people by holding
back records and refusing to give the
legislative committee records and cor
respondentce. The league bunch is
making a sorry mess of their steward
ship of the affairs of the people. The
disclosures so far made. which have
been dragged from the officials almost
by main force, shows that it is costing
the people Of the state $142 900 a year
to mismanage this bank. One hun
dred and twelve thousand dollars Of
this amount is for clerk and other help
hire and the balance for the manager

is absolutely squandered and it is no
wonder that the officials do not want
the truth to be told. The investigation
proves that the league officials have
been playing favorites with league
banks in depositing money in these
banks and many thousands Of dollars
are tied up in many of the banks that
had to close their doors because they
could no longer run without more aid
and the parent bank was in about as
bad shape as they were-broke. The
report discloses that five millions of
money belonging to the people have
been "frozen" up for many years to
come by being loaned out in such a
way, that the money can not be OBJ
tanned for years. Political favoritism

The PIG, 900 600, 900 gold marks or
approximately 56,0OO,O0O which the
allied council has fixed as the amount
Of the general reparation indemnity,
not including the IL per cent tax on
exports, which Germany must pay. to
the entente nations is a staggering
sum. The average citizen is entirely
unable to really comprehend SO stu
pendous a sum Of money. These per-
sonal limitations naturally cause many
to exclaim over the size Of the total
and perhaps to feel that the load laid
upon the Teutons is possibly excess
sive. Other factors Of the situation,
however, need to be considered.
This indemnity amounts to $SOO Tor
every man, woman and child of the
approximately 100000 inhabitants
Of Germany. But the payment is
spread over period Of AZ years. That
means less than $15 per person year
if payments were made on the ordl-
nary basis of computation. The ex,
port tax, will of course, add slightly te
| the totals but the figures indicate thai
the personal load upon the German
people is not so crushing as might ap
pear at first glance. The present gen
Grafton will, moreover, pay only par
of the aggregate indemnity, and pos
sibly even the second and third gener
ations will help to clear away tn
total.
Another point that must be remem
bered is that the world talks and act

mere millions a generation ago. I'M

After the writer had been introduced
by Congressman George N. Young to
Vive-President Thomas F. Marshall
for the purpose of delivering the vote
of North Dakota to that official per-
sonally with Mrs. Trubshaw we en-
loved a few minutes in conversation
with Mr.. Marshall. When Mr.. Young
mentioned that it was North Dakota's
vote that was being presented the vice
president pricked up his ears and said:
"Mr. Trubshaw you have the territory
for making a great state out there,
and when you get rid of some of those
political notions that are affecting
your state at this time and you return
to pure Americanism, then should in
deed be glad to come there and visit
the state" The vice-president was
only voicing the opinion of many 9TH
err men who live east of the Red River
and who have become so Disguised
at the present regime in power: No
real American has any time for
political party whose directors are
rank socialists and who were running
around the country sowin gthe seeds
of hatred and contention in time. of
the country's great need, and who
were the slackers in buying, liberty
bonds and helping to take care OF the
millions of Americas best sons while
they were over seas fighting for the
sacred cause Of liberty and justice.
This is what our vice president meant
when he said he wanted us to return
to real Americanism. Mr.. Marshall
is very ordinary looking individual:
but withal bright. we'll informed
gentleman. Naturally in his position
he is a very busy man but he is very
courteous and gives you a cordial
handshake and as much Of his time to
visit as his limited time will permit.
In Washington many democrats think
that he should have had first place
on his ticket instead of the second
place.

NEW MICE FOR KANSAS
Little Brown Ones With Curly Tails
in Bunch of Bananas

O. A. Dentzer, when he opened a
crate of bananas from Porto Rico
found that he had received more
than he ordered. Close to the big
stalk on which the bananas hung and
near the top, was nest Of dry leaves
and in it were seven little brown
mice.
They have fur Of rich, red brown,
and black around heir eyes. Their
tails are long and curl around stick
like monkeys SO they can hang by
it. Their little feet are monkeys
feet also. The mother mouse was
not in the nest and the, little things
were cuddled close together, calling
for food, with a funny squeaking lit
tie noise.
They are thought to have come
from Porto Rico and are named by
some who have seen them, Climbing
or Tree Mice. DR.. HI. p. Mera Is
making an effort to find suitable food
for the mice to keep them alive.

REFEREE STOPPED MATCH
Herington Had Regular Mery.0o-
Round Contest

= Tony Ross, Junction City's as
pirants for championship honors,
was defeated by worlds champion,
Jack Reynolds at Herington Monday
night, in the most exciting and spec
ticular contest ever staged in these
parts.
REYNOLDS won the first fall In 2S
minutes and 80 seconds with STEP
over toe hold. The second was won
by Ross with his now famous head
lock, and the third went about 10
minutes when Ross again began
working his deadlock and after ap'
plying a series Of them, had Key
nolds in such a spent condition that
he was only semi-c0nscious and stag
gering around the ring like drunk
en- man, when the referee for some
reason not quite clear to anybody,
stopped the bout and awarded the
decision to Reynolds on a foul.
Pandemonium broke loose and Tor
a few minutes excitement was In
tense. Cooler heads, however, rush
ed the referee out of the ring and
with him out Of the way the situa-
ton again became normal.
Ross, although defeated, was fai
from being disgraced and the defeat
is attributed solely to the incompe-
tence of the referee, Hamid kala
Pash.a Turkish wrestler of some
renown.
Tex Mccullough of Abilene won
the decision over young ALL Of Her
ington in a three round bout. Tex
scored four knockdowns during the
fight.

BILE by recent action of the State
Board of Education by reducing the
amount of reimbursement to schools
doing full time vocational agriculture
from $1,000 to one-half the instruc-

to extend the benefits of vocational
agriculture over a wider territory the

action TO limit any county to only
two vocational agriculture high
schools.

Doctor johnson and H. h. Nc
Kinney Of thesUnited States Depart
ment of Agriculture, and DR.. F. E.
Melchers Of the Kansas Experiment
Station, were in Abilene recently on
wheat disease work, A considerable
number of farms have been observed
showing wheat dying out in spots. In
some fields the spots are very small,
while in other fields they are large,
amounting to about IS per cent in
jury. This great amount Of INJURY
has developed in about two seasons.
It is recommended that fields show
ing such injury be planted to other
crops for three or four years.
Very little Is known of the disease
as 1t is a new one. 1t is fungus
disease, causing the foot Of the plant
to rot but the special organism has
not been identified as yet. Many
conditions, such as moisture, soil fer
tility, seed bed preparation, variety
may affect the development of the
disease. To study this problem ar
rangements are being made to run a
series of experiments on infected
fields in the vicinity Of Abilene.

Farmers Ne~ Chapnran Find IN

Farmers around Chapman are get
| ting a little taste Of some ofthe ex-
periences that their pioneer fore
fathers had to undergo In develop
ling the rich Smoky Hin Valley.
Since the collapse Of the river bridge
last spring, the travel has been over
a little pile bridge to the west Of the
old structure. A few weeks ago the
pile bridge gave way to the on
slaughts Of the high water and to the
great amount of driftwO0d that had
accumulated In the river above the
bridge. During the time that work
men are busily engaged on second
temporary pile bridge and also on
cement structure which will be COM
pleted in early winter; all are obliged
to cross on a self propelled ferry
boat.
Now John and Mary drive mp In
their Marmon or perhaps Ford
depending upon whether they sold
their wheat last threshing time Tor
$2.65 a bushel or held It through the
winter for. $3.5O--load their produce
on the ferry and are Joined by Bill
Jones and his wife from six miles
out. Perhaps John and Bill have not
met before but they discuss the
prospect for a bumper crop as they
pull the ferry across. Mary and
Mrs. Jones also engage in q lively
conversation and, perhaps, before
they part, promise to visit each
other.
The ferry boat, with all its incon-
veniences, will soon be a thing OF the
past for the people around Chapman.
Yet one wonders If this going back to
the mode of travel Of the pioneer
does not carry with 1t little valua-
BILE lesson to the farmers Of today.
Surely the pioneers were more close
Nv related to one another than are
the members of the average rural
community today The basis Tor
this kindred feeling was their DEEPEN
dence upon zone another. The farm
er Of today, who is characterized by
his independence, due to material
advancement, should not forget that
his community advances only when
he and his neighbors work together
and depend on one another.
