Ribbon Fish'S Oddities,

"The ribbon fishes said John T.
Nichols, head of the department Of re-
cent fishes at the Museum of Natural
History, according to the New York
Times, ARE perhaps the least known
of the larger marine species. They
are elongate, iattened from side to
side with a manelike fin on the back.
Specimens are Is to 20 feet long. be-
ing from 10 to - inches deep, and
about IN inch or two broad at their
thickest part. They have big eyes
and small mouths"
Very few specimens ever come, to
light and these are usually washed up
on some shore or are found floating
at the surface in a dead Or dying con.
dition. The larger ones are known tc
grow to be 20 feet or so in length and
very likely attain a considerably
greater size. but this is a matter OF
pure conjecture. Young individuals
of some of the species but a few
inches long are not rarely met witt
near the surface.

Considerable pairing before the meas

RECALL ELECTION is

The unanimous vote Of the commit

was for a recall election in this state
in the near future. The purpose is an
effort to supplant Governor Frazier,
Attorney General Lemke, and Commits
sioner John N. Hagan, as we'll as three
members of the supreme court, and to
initiate three independent program
laws which are deemed likely to fail
of passage at the present session.
Petitions demanding a recall must
be signed by 80 per cent of the quail
fled electors who voted for governor
at the preceding election, and must be
filed with the secretary Of state, who
will call the election not less than 40
nor more than 45 days thereafter.
1t is reported as unlikely that the

ment of the legislature.

HOUSE AND SENATE EACH
COMPLETE OWN AFFAIRS

Each house of the legislature has
disposed Of all the business it origi-
mated, either by passing OF killing
every bill introduced.
Only ten affirmative votes were cast
on the Whitman highway bill which
was introduced in the senate early in
the session and has been widely dis
cussed. The bill abolishing the school
of forestry at Bottineau and providing
for the establishment in its stead of a
home for tubercular incurables failed
to pass the senate. Mees' bill for the
classification of farm lands for taxa
ton purposes passed.
In the house, also, a bill providing
for the Reconsideration of property for
assessment purposes was passed.
The public depository act passed the
house with the likelihood that it will
also gain support in the senate, bring
ing about a change in the present pub
lie depository regulations. The three
so-called program measures intro
duced by Independent members Of the
house failed of the two thirds vote
necessary to enact bills changing re-
ferred measures, and so will not get
to the senate.
The measure to change the person
mel of the state industrial commission
carried SO to SO while IS affirmative
votes were necessary. The rural cred
its bill had go affirmative, 50 negative
votes, and the bill to dissolve the Bank
of North Dakota had SIS ayes and 81
nays.
A two-thirds affirmative vote was
given the bill affecting public deposits,
although a majority would have been
sufficient. Under it all public funds
must be deposited in state or national
banks. A senate amendment differen-
tiating between the funds of subdivi-
sions and those of the state itself is
expected by some observers. (

INGALLS, TRIBUTE TO GRASS
Beautiful Word Painting Of Kansas
Statesman That Is Recognized
as a Classic.

Lying in the sunshine amOng the
buttercups and dandelions Of May,
scarcely higher in intelligence than the
minute tenants of that mimic wilder
ness, our earliest r~ecollections are Of
grass; and when the fitful fever is
ended and the foolish wrangle Of the
market and forum is closed, grass
heals over the seal which our descent
into the bosom Of the earth has made,
and the carpet Of the infant becomes
n blanket Of the dead. Grass is the
forgiveness Of Nature-her constant
~benediction. Fields trampled with
battle, saturated with blood, torn with
the ruts of cannon, grow green again
with grass, and carnage is forgotten.
Streets abandoned by traffic become
~grass-grown like rural lanes and are
o%bliterated. Forests decay, harvests
perish, flowers vanish, but grass is i'm
mortal. Beleaguered by the sullen
hosts Of winter, it withdraws into the
impregnable fortress of it's subter-
ranean vitality and energies upon the
first solicitation of spring. Sown by
the winds, by the wandering birds
p~ropagated by the subtle agriculture
Of the elements which are it's minis
tiers and servants, it softens the rude
outline OF the world. 1t bears no bla-
zonry of bloom to charm the senses
with fragrance or splendor, but it's
hemely hue is more enhancing than the
lily or the rose. 1t yields no fruit
in earth or air, and yet should it's har-
vest fail for a single year, famine
would depopulate the world.-From a

BANKING LAWS TO BE
MORE STRICTLY ENFORCED

Thirty days time has been given the
examiner, o. b. Lofthus, to build up
their cash reserves to the point re-
quired by law, that is, ten per cent OF
demand deposits and seven per cent Of
time deposits. A penalty Of not less
than $500 nor more than $500 may be
imposed for failure to meet with this
requirement.
1t is pointed out by f. w. Cathro
and other heads of the state financial
organization, that because of the pecu-
liar situation this fall the banks were
allowed to slide by this law and let
their reserves decrease. The holding
policy of the farmers and the preva-
lent stringency made it seem inadvis-
able to strictly enforce the law be.
cause Of the hardship it would have
worked to farmers and bankers both,
it was pointed out. Now, however,
when demands are being made on the
state bank, and when it, in turn, must
look to the banks Of the state, it is
deemed advisable to bring the re-
serves up.
1t is held that half of the banks in
the state do not have sufficient liquid
assets, and the enforcement Of the
reserve law may spur them on and so,
change the situation as to bring con-
siderable financial relief.
Burke County Gets Funds.
Making a book transfer of funds, the
Bank of North Dakota has adjusted
the claim Of Burke county for $15O,OO0
of funds said to be necessary for the
conduct of the county's affairs. The
attorney general of the state has ruled
that public funds are not subject to
garnishment, and while several gar
nishment proceedings have been insti-
tuted, the Burke county case is the
first to be settled and settlement was
effected without. a trial of the gar
nishee.
The Bank of North Dakota had about
$15O,000 of the county funds on de-
post and had redeposited some
$143,O00 with the various banks of the
county. Having placed all. Of these re-
deposits to the credit of the. Burke
county treasurer, the bank issued a
draft for $1,000 to make up the bal.
ance, and the transaction was closed.
Lawrence Larson is treasurer of Burke
county and was active in working out
the settlement.

THREE SENATE BILLS GET
THE GOVERNORS. SIGNATURE

The first three bills signed by Cover
o Frazier and m~essaged to the SEN
ate, were:
Senate bill No. l, permitting an as
sistant attorney general to close up his
private legal affairs after appointment
and before taking up the duties of
office, and permitting county attorneys
to defend criminal cases outside Of
their own districts.
Senate bill No. s, relating to the
care Of feeble minded persons.
Senate bill No. -. amending the law
relating to labelling concentrated feed
ing stuff.
These were the first three measures
to go to the governor.
Labor interested in State Bank.
Governor Lynn J. Frazier is on a
| trip TO Washingtno. d. c., and eastern
points in the interests of the states
finances. Governor Frazier conferred
with union labor heads in Washington
and as a result the American Fedora
ton of Labor is considering making
a large deposit in the Bank of North
Dakota. If it is possible for the or
%ganization to take this step it will
stamp with the approval of organized
labor the North Dakota program. The
main drawback to the purchase by the
federation of any state bonds is the
fact that it is the policy of this organi-
cation to keep their assets as liquid as
possible.
