of Early Pioneer Days
Responds to Call

The death Is announced as having
occurred Dec. 9th, at Winter Haven,
Florida, Of the Rev. Jas, F. Berry,
a minister of the gospel located here
in Cavalier county back in the days
before the construction of railroad
had broken the sod of its wilderness
of virgin prairie, He settled first in
Alma township. where he taught
school and held service during his resi-
dence as homesteader, later moving
to Milton and becoming the first pas
tor of the Presbyterian church of that
place. There are those among the
early pioneers whe will recall that in
the latter part of sos he conducted
a night school at the Montrose home
of John Swanlaw. 1t is learned that
Rev. Berry was found dead while
seated at the table in the dining room
of the home with the evening meal
spread, death evidently having been
instantaneous. The funeral held on
New Years Day was attended by the
clergy of the town. One of the two
sons who survive was unable to at.
tend. 1t is several years since he
retired from the ministry, owing te
the advance of years.

COMMUNICATION.
Editor Farmers Press.

When the farmers Legislature de.
cided to build the mills and termi
nal elevator at the Forks they saw
at once that would be necessary
to have a state owned bank to finance
the project in order not to-, have to
depend on eastern capital. Naturally
they wanted the bank to fill long
felt need by the common people. To
furnish the money to build homes
also to take up real estate loans and
at the same time to make private
banking a safe business, The couu-
ties, townships and schools always
had funds, and these had In the past
always been scattered over the state
and doing but little in return for lts
use as an investmet. 1t was shown
that by drawing this money together
large sum could be amassed. such
as could be advantageously used to
help finance the state in case OF
such a thing as money stringenoy
occurring. The plan laid down and
outlined for its operation was some-
thing like this: When the farmers
needed money and the local banks
did not have it the state bank would
take the gilt edged notes Of the
farmers, and say charge them eight
per cent, then the banker would go
to the Bank of North Dakota and
| give his note tu cover the farmers
notes and would have to pay prob
ably abont six per cent. This could
be done with little or no trouble as
long as the Bank of North Dakota
had the handling of state and county
funds. But if more money was need
ed then the Bank of North Dakota
would take the bankers notes into
the eas tern money market, giving
the notes for the amount needsd and
/ paying four per cent for it, and re-
lieving any money stringent that
might appear of temporary nature.
La plan such as this would make
both the farmer and the businessman
entirely free and Independent of any
thing in the form of money panic.
This is the plan that the l. V. a.,
has been fighting. This plan woulc
have made bank failures impossible
