State Financially Sound

Fundamentally, North Dakota is as
sound financially as Kansas; and no
n will deny that this is high praise.
What then is wrong with North Da-
kota? Why should North Dakota have
trouble selling it's bonds? The trouble
originates in the fact that grain deal
r and those bankers who support
them, fearing the effects Of the compe-
tition Of the state, r doing their ut
most to defeat the North Dakota pro-
gram. For this purpoe they have
launched campaign Of false and mis-
leading propaganda that is without
parallel in the history Of this country.
And in this they have received and are
receiving material assistance from peo-
pie not directly interested with them,
but who. because Of prejudice, pride

Propaganda Is False

This entire propaganda is as false
as your editorial. That should be suf-
ficient utterly to discredit it to all fair
minded people. Yet it has been re-
peatedly demonstrated within the last
few years, that movements Of great
merit may be sti11ed by persistent mis-
representation. In indutrial and po-
litical controversies, as well as on the
battle field, it has been proven that
the gas attack is often more deadly
than solid shot or shrapne,,. Sound;
as the state is in every material and
moral sense, North Dakota is nov be-
ing strangled down by a political and
journalistic gas attack. Why are the
state industries suspended? Simply
because people like you, my dear gov
ernor, aid it's enemies to prevent it's
proper financing, when not a single
legitimate objection to the states
bonds has been raised. Why do banks
close in North Dakota? 1t is because

in their own leadership, or fear that
the success of the Nonpartisan League
might break down their political pow

out material reward, helping to spread
this poison. You have lent your per-

Tells Some Facts

Now, governor, let me tell you a
few, facts about North Dakota. The
program Of state industries which you
attempt to stigmatize as "socialistc"
was established by the chosen repre-
sentatives Of the people Of North Da-
kota,Ja and afterwards approved by. the
people On q referendum vote. A ma
jority Of the people of North Dakota
believed when these industries were
established, and still believe, that they
will go far towards solving the market
and credit problems that are harassing
farmers throughout the country. Firm
in that belief, they are going straight
through with that program. Not, all
the efforts Of a hireling press subsi-
died by the interests which now hold
the farmers in thrall IAN prevent it.
As you say, North Dakota is having
trouble selling its bonds. But that is
not because Of any defect in the real
guarantee behind them, nor in the
s%oundness Of the enterprises which
these bonds are issued to finance. The
total wealth Of North Dakota amounts
to $4,000,000,000. It's 1920 farm prod
ucts, even at the ruinously low cur
rent prices, will bring enough to pay
all current obligations, including in
terest on an estimated total Of $685.
100000 Of farm mortgages, and leave
adAlance Of $l15.000,o00 While many
Ilneighboring states had large deficits
at the end Of the last fiscal year,
North Dakota had over $1,000, 900 in
its general fund and over$4, 000, 000, 0Oo
cash in all funds. Per capita taxation
is lower, in North Dakota than in any
other state. And yet North Dakota
has made liberal provision for the
support Of its schools for the building
and upkeep, Of roads, and for compen-
.sation to its service men.

tor association act Is the principal one.
It justified the mill and elevator asso-
citation act by the peculiar situation in
the state Of North Dakota,and particu-
larly by the great agricultural indus
try Of the state. It estimated from.
facts Of which it was authorized to
take judicial notice, that 80 per cent Of
the wealth produced blythe state was
from agriculture; and STATED that
upon the prosperity and welfare of
that industry other business and pur-
suits carried on in the state were
largely dependent; that the state pro-
iduced 125,O00,000 bushels Of wheat
each year. The manner in which the
present system Of transporting and
marketing this great crop prevents
the realization Of what are deemed
just prices was deliberately stated. It
was affirmed that the annual loss from
these sources (including the loss Of
fertility to the soil and failure to feed
thesby-products Of grain to stock with
in the state) amounts to $55;000,000."

Changing Styles in China.

Notwithstanding the popular west
ern fancy that fashions never change
in China the Chinese woman is
paintakingly particular as to the ex-
act length and fullness, or scanti-
ness, of her coats, skirts and trous
ers. She is carefully precise about
the width of bias bands or braid or
lace that she uses for trimming, the
number and arrangement of fasten-
ings, the shape and height Of her
collar. All of these details vary as
typieally from season to season, I'M

sons, the fashion devotee OF China
takes account of eight, each with its
appropriate style and weight of
clothing.

CHAPTER LIN
ATLANTA, PINE GROVE, NEAL.
Atlanta, in the Middle Boise min
ing district, is said to be one OF the
oldest mining camps in Idaho, ana
is ON the Middle Boise and Yupa
rivers, both of which streams flow
over rich gold-bearing Lodges ana
sands.
At present Atlanta is about the
most remote town in Gilmore county,
being close to the northern bound
airy line, and is reached by wagon
road from Rocky Bar, over Baid
mountain, distance OF sixteen
miles.
The camp was located during the
civil war, about the time OF the cap
ture of Atlanta, Georgia, a noted
Confederate stronghold, by the I'm
ion forces under General Sherman
and was so named in honor of that
event
About the same time the great At
lanta lode was discovered by Costen
Simmons, and the extensions OF the
Atlanta lode were located by Nose
Kempner, Julian Hill and Sam Da-
Wis. Succeeding these came the dis
coyeries and locations of such ia
nous mines as the Buffalo, Monarch,
Big Lode, Old Chunk, Webfoot, Last
Chance, Tahoma, Tonquin, Irish
Boy, Minerva, Bay State and Montez-
una.
Statistics show that up to 1882
these mines produced $5S,000,000
in gold and silver.
The only means of transportation
at present is by the wagon road
from Rocky Bar over the high range,
which is open for transportation
only about half the year. The pro
blem OF transportation with be solved
in the near future by the advent of
the iron horse" If we may judge
by the activity of surveying parties
IN that section this summer.
Under more favorable conditions,
Atlanta would be considered first
class health resort. Close to the
town are hot springs "a panacea
Lor most of ills of the human system.

all club women will welcome IT, The
article follows;
In your town there are many wo-
men weary of bridge; many young
girls who have serious purpose in
view, but do not know how to use
their time and talents MANY well
read, we'll bred people Of leisure who
would willingly help less fortunate
ones than themselves if they know
how they could; many working girls
and business women who wouId
welcome a chance to do their bit in
altruistic service.

ers with cross babies, invalids,

bring the two together? To do Just
that is the object of tae committee
on VOLUNTEER service in the General
Federation of which Mrs. J. H.
Schermerhorn of II Ealsted place,
East Orange, N. j., is chairman.
Mrs. Schermerhorn says
in communities where there is
nothing of this kind, the woman
club should take the Initiative. cal
ling together representative of all
the agencies doing social work; the
churches, social welfare, Red Cross,
Y. W. G. A, etc, and establish
common center fer the RECEIPT of in
formation regarding leisure hours to
be disposed of. These may be part
or whole time but should be regular
and dependable,
HOW TO ORGANIZE
In communities where there are
no such organizations as the Red
Cross, Y. W C, A., Social Welfare
etc, some Of the following services
may be rendered through a central
committee formed by the woman's
club or clubs. The following are
suggested: a
a. To read to convalescents,
blind, old, shut-ins etc.
b. To care for children for few
hours to relieve the tired mother.
c. To care for invalids, or the old
