SERVICE MEN

every man who served during the
World War and was honorably dis
charged from the Army, is entitled to
a Victory Medal. All that is neces-
sary to secure this medal it to for
ward the discharge to the Victory
Medal Department, Aberdeen, So. Da-
kota, the Victory Medal Dept, State
Capitol, Pierre, So. Dakota, the Vic
tory Medal Dept, State Capitol, No.
Dakota, or the Victory Medal Dept,
Federal Bldg, Minneapolis, Minneso-
ia, and the office force on duty will
fill out the application, and return it
to the applicant for his signature.
The discharge will not leave the local

about it's being lost.
In case of death the next of kin
is entitled to this medal, and it; can
be obtained by furnishing this Office
with the name, organization and serial
number, if possible, of the deceased

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

There has been number of Victory
Medals received by the fellows the
last week or so. They are a nice
looking piece of furniture" so if you
want yours you had better. send in
your discharge and get it while they
last. This applies to any service men
in the county, so do not be backward
even though you do not belong to the
Legion, or to some Post other than
at Linton.
There seems to be no doubt that
we will have a Stand of Colors for
Decoration Day judging from the
hearty response the committee is
meeting with in the circulation of the
subscription list. If your name is
not down on it, just speak to Ed. Graf
or F. B. streeter, who will be gald TO
fix you out
The official flower adopted by the
Legion and Women's Auxiliary and
War Mothers is the Red Poppy. Ev-
cry one knows why it was adopted.
The Poppies grew in Flanders Field,
We expect to have supply of them
on hand to sell at a small sum. The
money so raised goes to the orphans
in the war devastated regions.
A committee will be appointed at
the next regular meeting, the first
Monday of May, to make arrange
ments for Memorial Day exercises.

FARM LOAN BONDS ON SALE
Bankers Will Assist in Placing Big
Issue Before Investors of
Nation.

Forty million dollars of five per
cent twenty year Federal Land Bank
bonds have been placed on sale
through group Of 1000 investment
bankers from all over the country, ac-
cording to the announcement of Secre-
tary Mellon of the treasury depart
ment.
The bonds which will be sold at par
can be obtained also from Federal
Land banks and farm loan associa-
tions.
The bonds will be redeemable, Mr..
Mellon said, at the option of the issu-
ing bank at any time after ten years
from the date of issue. The mana
gers of the investment bankers group,
formed at the request Of the farm loan
beard to handle the issue, will be AL
exander Brown and Son, Lee Higgin-
son and Company, National City Com
pany, Brown Brothers and Company,
Harris Forbes and Company, and the
Guaranty Company.
A distinctive feature of the new is
sue will be that the right of redemp-
tion by the banks cannot be exercised
until the eleventh year after this is
sue.
This should speed up Federal farm
loans to farmers.

MORE ARRESTS OF PARENTS

The arrest and fining of parents
refusing to send their children to
school continues. Since last week a
number of other cases have been pros
ecuted, and more arrests were being
made as the Record went to press.
j. A. Johnson, one of the men ar
rested and fined last week, refused to
pay his fine and was taken into GUS
tody by the sheriff. He was put to
work around the court house. A
couple of days later John Holsti, of
kintyre, appeared and paid Johnson's
fine and he was released. The au-
thorities state that johnson has prov
en- the worst offender they have dealt
with to date.
There is much political capital being
made out Of these arrests, the defeat
ed candidate for states attorney TAX
ing advantage of the opportunity to
gain the political friendship of those
arrested. For the benefit of our
readers, we will, therefore, give a
short resume of the manner in which
the law provides for compulsory edu-
catien. 1t has not been properly en-
forced in the past, with the result
that there are men in this county
grown to manhood who can neither
write the English nor any other Lam
guage.
When parent fails to keep child
in school, such child being between the
ages of seven and sixteen unless they
have completed the eighth grade, the
teacher makes report to the county
superintendent. The county superin-
tendent is then required to make COM
plant to the states attorney. The
states attorney is then required to
prosecute. The sheriff arrests the
parent, and he is tried before a justice
Of the peace. The justice fixes the
fine, and such parent must then pay
the fine or go to Jail. If the parent
still refuses to send the child to school,
he is then rearrested in the same
manner.
The law allows the states attorney
to excuse child only when it's pres
ence at home is actually needed for.
the support of the family. During
the term of the preceding states at
torney, such excuses were given by the
wholesale where conditions were not as
provided by the law. This is making
the work of enforcing the law just
that much harder at present. In no
case where parent has been fined to
date was such parent in such destitute
circumstances that the parent could
not make a living for the family with
out calling on the small children to do
the work.
The persons fined by Judge Britts
since last report are as follows:
John Walker, Omio, for keeping
10-year-old child out of school, $1O.65.
Chris. Beckman, Cherry Grove, 13-
year-old-child, $14 .15. 3
S. Holmes, Dana, 12-year-old child,
$14.15.
George Deisz, South Prairie, 49,
year-old child, $9.35.

SCHOOLS UNABLE TO GET
FUNDS
Contractor in Ramsey County Re.
fuses to Turn Over Building Until
Money Due Him for Work is
Paid.

Bismarck, April 15.-The Bank of
North Dakota today has more than
100000 of school money belonging to
two funds for which schools are in
need and cannot get, according to in
formation collected. How much ad-
ditional money is in the bank which
is not paid to school treasurers on
their warrants is not known
The bank has $4O5,OOO of money
representing interest and income on
school lands. The bank has 1925, 900
of the state aid to rural grade and
consolidated school funds.
Many school officials have made
trips to this city within the last
few days seeking some assurance as
to when they can get their money,
particularly from the funds of the
land commissioners office. AS
sistance has been asked of members
of the board and of the department
Of public instruction and other state
officials.
The $4O5,000 has been pledged to
school districts by the board in charge
of the school and university lands
funds. With the money pledged and
with the assurance that it would be
forthcoming at the proper time to
take up bond issues, school commits
sioners in many towns and villages
had gone ahead wuth building work.
With the work completed and funds
denied, serious situations have arisen
in some localities.
In the town of Edmore, Ramsey
county, according to reports to the
department of education, new build
ing was constructed to replace a
structure which had been condemned.
The new building is completed, but
the contractor has refused to turn the
building over to the school board until
the money due him is paid. This
money was to come from the state
in the purchase of bohds amounting
to approximately $4,000. The
money has been promised and was
in the school funds, but it is denied
because Of the condition of the Bank
Of North Dakota.
There is permanent school fund
Of several million dollars, derived
from grants of land by the federal
government. The interest and in
come is invested by the board in loans,
chiefly school loans and farm loans.
The activities by the board virtually
ceased when it changed from inde-
pendent control to Nonpartisan con-
troll by the accession of D. C. Poin:
dexter, state auditor, and William
Lemke, attorney general.
The $225,000 state aid for rural
graded and consolidated schools was
for the year ending June, 1920. When
the money was paid in last fall Carl
Kositzky set the funds aside. The
state superintedent of public instruc-
tion certified the list of schools which
were entitled to aid. Despite this
fact, many of the school are in dire
need of funds and the money has not
been paid them.
Several school districts which were
promised money for bond issues are
said to be considering mandamus ac-
tion against State Auditor Po1ndexter,
who has held up issuance of warrants
on school funds, although loans have
been approved.

"The Free Press is Curl
- Gus enough to ask: Out of

by what process the state
funds have been used for

Quakers Offer Faith
To Cure World Ills
Quit Meeting House to Preach
Doctrine of Brotherly Love
at Town Hall

The Quakers Of New York departed
from precedent yesterday by holding a
public meeting in the Town Hall,
enunciating their principles in popular
language and inviting the public to
join the Society Of Friends. They
went on to describe their relief activi-
ties in the war-stricken areas of Eu-
rope and to outline the principles of
Quakerism as a panacea for interna-
tional disputes and industrial unrest.
Glowing pictures we're painted of a
world in which the peaceful doctrines es
of their faith, with its basic fabric of
love and good will among men, should
dominate.
1t was explained by Rufus Nj. Jones,
the chairman, that this was the first
time that the Quakers had gone outside
of their, own meeting house or invited
the public to special exposition of
their principles of peace and disarma-
ment
The principal speaker, DR.. Ebert
Russell, formerly connected with Earl.
ham College and Johns Hopkins Uni
versity and now director of Woolmar
School, Swarthmore, Pa, directed q
friendly challenge at what he described
as "world tempted to settle its indus
trial problems by violence and begin
ming again the mad international ri
valry of armaments." He argued for a
trial of the peaceful Quaker way.
