FARMERS WILL
ORGANIZE HERE
About Three Hundred Attended
Meeting Last Monday. Will
Meet Again Tuesday

A meeting of farmers will be held
Tuesday afternoon, March lst, in the
Court house at Snow Hill, at 2 o'clock,
for the purpose of perfecting the or
ganization of Worcester County Ag-
ricultural Society.
At the preliminary mass meeting
held on last Monday about three hun
dred farmers assembled in the Court
Room to consider county organiza-
tion. The meeting was addressed by
Prof. Charles S. Richardson, of Mary
land University, who gave very
strong talk on organization and on
the wonderful things that were to be
obtained through the organization of
any class of men. He stated that the
farmers are almost the only class that
has not organized and that until they
were they would never be able to COM
pete with other organized forces. He
also stated that not only from finan-
cial standpoint was organization i'm
portant, but from an educational and
socal side as well.
Many rural communities are not
being developed as they should be-
cause their community has never had
a real active leader. The same COM
munity may never have had the oppor-
tunity of good education due to the
lack of leadership.
Mr.. Jenkins, State Boys Club
Agent of Maryland University, dis
cuSsed how boys club work could be
of help to the county organization
and in turn how the county organiza-
tion could assist the boys clubs. He
pointed out the fact that through
many clubs organizations, boys were
realizing the importance OF good
fellowship with each other in business
relations as we'll as community
spirit.
A temporary organization was eff
fccted and nominating committees and
constitutions and bylaw Scommittee
were appointed, these committees to
meet and select from all sections of
the county the men best suited to re-
present agriculture as officers of this
association.
These comrnitteeS will meet at one
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, March lst,
and will have ready for the farmers
meeting at o'clock their recommend
ations for officers to be voted upon by
the farmers meeting.
Prof. Bomberger, from Maryland
University will be present to assist
the committee in drawing up the con-
stitution and bylaws.

borough ticket in 1911.

of Baltimore.
Naval Officer-Clinton A. Richard
son, president of the Fire Board of
Baltimore.
Collector of Customs-Charles III.
Holtzman, of Cumberland.
Collector of Internal Revenue
Galen II. TAFT, of Montgomery county,
chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee.
Place for which selections are yet
to be made an, United States Mar
shall, to be named by Representative
elect Hill, of the Third district, and
Commissioner of immigration and In
spector of Explosives, to be named by
Representative Mudd, of the Fifth
district. The postmastership of Bal

The Free Press and George Lynn,
ex-dictator of Emmons county, car
ried jointly about column article on
the front page of the league sheet last
week purporting to show some kind Of
a "plot' to mislead peple about the
Bank of North Dakota turning down
checks.
We should like to ask the ex-dicta-
tor and his newspaper man to tell us
whether or not they desire to give the
impression that the Bank of North
Dakota isn't turning down checks, and
that those who claim checks to be un-
paid by said bank have in reality
never presented same for payment.
We herewith make the charge that
hundreds of thousands dollars OF
checks have been written by the
Bank of North Dakota by various
agencies having money in said bank
IN open account, that have been truned
lown by said bank.
And the reason they can't honor
such checks is because OF the rotten
banking methods used that have thus
tied up public funds.

One of the lamentable features of
the Encouragement of government
this state is experiencing is the finan-
cial robbery of the state banks that
run their business in businesslike
manner. Under the guaranty fund
law, all state banks are assessed to
make good the losses on defunct
banks. One at Strasburg has been
assessed $147.61. They can be
drawn on in this amount five times
year, making a. total of some 1913
per year. A Strasburg bank is
tapped over $500 per year. All this
to make good some of the leagues
rotten banking.
And, then, to add insult to injury,
let it be remembered that Gov. Fra
zier re-appointed a convict-H. j.
Hagan, of the Scandinavian-Ameri
State Bank-as president of the COM
mission that drags in and handles all
this money.

refused to honor the withdrawals by

ment is true as far as it goes, but
the main part of the story is purposely
left out. The local banks began re-

ter the Bank of North Dakota refused
to honor checks. With unpaid checks
in their possession, the local banks re-
fused to honor withdrawals, and that
