doors. If the banks in Cavalier
county could not pay SIS, 900 to the
Bank of North Dakota why should
Mr.. Cathero send $40 more to add
to the overdraft will be the question
that any reasonable man will ask.
In banking circles it is generally
we'll understood that the president or
manager of a bank is allowed good
deal of latitude in occasions that may
arise affecting matters of finance.
Further the Industrial Commission
told Cathero not to pay out money to
counties that had plenty of funds and
simply were asking for money so as
to embarass banks less favorably sit
uated, the banks that Cathere him
self was striving to keep from clos.
ing their doors. 1t is we'll known
that |. VA, leaders at the behest of
the Chamber of Commerce, and others
have tried with every possible means
to discredit the Bank Of North Da-
kota and at a recently held bankers
meeting, some of those present un-
friendly to the Bank Of North Dako.
ia, were heckling Cathero about the
trust fund. Replying, Mr. Cathero
told them, and it must have been
proud moment for him, that he had
every dollar ready if called for. 1t
must also have been no small source
OF satisfaction for him to know that
the great majority Of the farmers Of
North Dakota stand ready and will
ing to transfer their personal account
to the Bank. of North Dakota if
needed. The rest of this letter will
be ready for an early issue of this
paper. Respectfully,

COMMUNICATION.
Editor Farmers Press :

A little while ago the Republican
asked us to explain why it was that
the Bank of North Dakota did not
pay check of $4,000, that was
drawn on it by the treasurer of this
county. The question is also raised
as to what benefit such a bank is to
the people of the state. We are GER
tainly willing to the best of our
ability to. enlighten the Republican,
but in order to place the matter in
the clearest view point consider it
advisable to handle the question at
issue in two installments. First.
dealing with the present condition of
the bank, and why it did not pay
that check, and Second. the purpose
of the bank and why it is that fifty
Thousand farmers stand behind it
with all their resources.
There are some local politicians
who have been running around here
like pup chasing its tail, bewail-
ing the fact chat F. w. Cathero, the
manager of the Bank of North Dako-
ia was sending all the money into
western part of the state. Knowing
from past experience that these self
same politicians hardly ever speak
the truth If they can help it
wrote to the bank to get the real
facts of The matter and in reply got
letter showing that the banks of
| Cavalier county have had redeposited
with them every dollar that had been
deposited with tine Bank of North
Dakota from every fund in the
county, school, township and county,
and the banks as an accommodation
had been allowed to over draw to the
amount of SIS, 600 in order to en-
able them to meet the existing finan-
cial stringency Here are facts he
was either ignorant of or preferred to
! ignor when he assembled to the house
| top to proclaim through the editorial
columns of the Republican that a
Cavalier county check for $40 drawn
on the Bank of North Dakota bad
not been paid. What individual un-
der such circumstances would feel
peeved, when anadditional overdraft
is denied when the account is already
$15, 600 in the red, or on the wrong
side of the ledger.
Now there is another story that
goes to show how considerate Mana;
ger Cathero has been with banks that
owed the Bank of North Dakota. Out
of the 4S0 bsnks over the state at
he was compelled under the law to
draw uponsfor funds for redeposits
there were only 80 that were able
to meet their obligation. hut he did
not press the matter to the point that
would compel them to c'ose their

Langdon Seconds" Win a Game

What is known as the "second'
high school basket ball team played a
highly creditable game at Milton on
Friday evening and at the finish held
the winning end of a score of 27
to 33. despite the fact that Milton
had quite a substantial lead at the
close of the first half. The team and
quite party of supporters took the
noon train for Milton, accompanied
by MIR. E. Paulson of the high school
as their chaperone, Milton is also
credited as having played games
with both Osnabrock and Park River
since the season opened and the one
they lost to Langdon is said to have
been highly creditable display of
fast played basket ball, even from
the losers view point.
The second" Langdon team that
lined up with Milton was composed of
the following: Clarence Charter,
John Schwartz, Neil Stevenson, John
Price, Howard Crockett and Victor
Mulligan as substitute. Neil Steven
son starred in making points, with
young Schwartz as close second for
that honor, though in fact each of
the boys on the team had a hand in
throwing bakets in the second half of
the game. Excepting in added
! weight. the first basket ball team
of the Langdon high school has no
thing on the second team when it
comes to playing the game and
piling up the winning score.

Time and the Task.

Mr.. Harding-early in the action,
fortunately for hinn-is finding the diff
ference between Marion and Washing
ton. At Marion he could afford to
have the latchstring hang constantly
on the outside. Beyond preparing a
few set speeches-something easy for
a man of his gift for expression-he
had nothing to do but see company
and confer with those whose advice
he desired.
At the White House he has his hands
full. He must conserve his time and
strength. Every day brings fresh
business, and all business must be
promptly dispatched. He could use
many more hours than are at his com.
mand. and then have a sense of being
behind with his task.
AS The Star has several times said,
we work a President pretty hard. He
must be continually on the job, in one
way or another. And the job embraces
all sorts and conditions of things
appraising men in making appoint
ments to office; studying measures
with view of making recommenda-
tions to Congress; smoothing down OBJ
streperous politicians. with a view of
composing or preventing party fac
tionism. and a hundred other things.
But the public understands this, and
also understands Mr.. Harding. 1t will
see no aloofness in his new program,
but only a desire and purpose to give
Of his best to its welfare. 1t will appre-
ciate the necessity that obliges him to
withdraw to the back room for given
periods. and wrestle with questions
that cannot wait, nor be safely de-
cided in the midst of receptions and
conferences.
