paign to provide adequate accommoda.
| tion for lese homeless kiddies. The
above picture shows the new building,
which will cost between $165, 1000 and
100000. Its capacity will be ITO
children. Every detail Is so arranged
as to give them adequate supervision
and protection from epidemics, etc. 1t
will be fitting monument to North
DakOta's reverence and regard for
childhood Remember it is not charity
but our just obligation to the men and
women of our state, Of the future, an
investment paying untold dividends.
The organization already has cared for
over 2,1OO children during the last
thirty years Using the insurance
estimate of the value of life at $4,000
the state of North Dakota already is
indebted to this society for over $1O,.
100000 Will it receive in return the
100000 it needs to more adequately
care for greater numbers than ever
before? The answer lies with you.
The campaign will be carried through
existing organizations all over Il
state, including churches, schools,
lodges and clubs Of all kinds. A small
amount on the average from every
member of each organization will more
than build the building. A little help
on the part Of everyone will save these
children. A state committee represent
ing all organizations, will appeal
through their own channels. 1t is
planned also to organize every county
to strengthen the appeal locally.
The campaign will be launched in
the month Of November. When this
cause is presented to you, remember
that no matter how hard up you feel,
you are much better of than these
homeless children

The bonded debt of the state of
North Dakota has been reduced to the
amount of $45,000. The redeemed
bond belongs to the old 4 per cent
series issued to refund the Capitol
Building warrants, $25,000, the PEN
itentiary warrants, $4,000 and the
university warrants, $4,000, all of
them falling due in 1927.
The redeemed bonds were taken up
by the permanent common school
funds which now has $45,000 immedi.
ately available to assist local COM
mon school activities.
"The reason for paying off these
bonds now," said Treasurer John
Steen, "is that the state had the mon
ey in the sinking funds and by paying
it over one per cent is saved for the
taxpayers of the state. Besides, the
school fund can make better use of the
money in assisting the local school
districts"

The retired industrial commission

dition of the state owned mill at
Drake, but they neglected to make it
public. The audit was made by the
Equity Audit company Of MINNEAPOLIS
and submitted to the former indus
trial commission composed of Lynn J.
Frazier, William Lemke and John N.
Hagan. The report shows, in round
figures, that the mill lost money at the
rate Of $2,5O0 a month, or 76 cents on
each bag of flour manufactured. The
loss from January 1st to Octobr 18th
is given at $21,712.42.' Besides the
mill stands to lose $4,000 on storage
accounts, or on -four out on consign-
ment not sold or not paid for. The
same firm audited the mill account for
the last year and found that the losses
then amounted to $17,66S.31, so things
are evidently going from bad to worse
at Drake. The audit company recon-
mends that the mill be sold.

factories. Most of them failed.
The first wave came before North
Dakota became a state. The finan-
cial panic of 1893 was accompanied by
a similar wave. During the period
of expansion from 1900 to 1910 in the
state, there was an especially large
number of creameries formed. In
each period of depression, according to
the records of the state department
of agriculture, creamery sharks
have promoted numerous creameries,
most Il which went out Of existence
within short time.
Mr.. Flint asks if, in the light OF
past experiences Of the state, it is not
better for the farmers to devote more
time to improvements of the herds,
better feeding and greater production
studies than to invest money in cream
cries and cheese factories, so that
when the present period Of depression
is ended the herds will be more pro-
ductive and in better shape than ever.
