JAMES WATERS, FORMER BANK
MANAGER, FAINTS AS HE CON-
CLUDES TESTIMONY; SENSATION

Mr.. Podgenstecker told them to never
and the next day he came to Mr.. Hast
inss' hotel and they completed the
arrans ements, and that the money
was sent 20 bank in st. Paul, be-
lieve it was the American Exchange
bank Mr.. Hastings told me so much
about it that | can't remember it all
at this time.
Waters tainted at End of Testimony
Ten minutes after having testified
on this point, Mr.. Waters, who had re-
Gently come from hospital, tainted
and had to be carried from the court
room. He had been on the witness
stand for two hours and had unfolded
the most sensational story of the af-
fairs of the Bank of North Dakota
and other banks Of the state that has
yet been given during the present
probe.
He told how, early in the winter of
1920 he warned William Lemke, now
attorney general, that the affairs of
the Scandinavian American bank of
Fargo, were in an awful shape, and
told him "if the bank blows up before
June 30, LANCER will be the next gov
ernor."
Save Bank If 1t Takes All State Mon
ey, Says Lemke
In reply, he said Lemke pounded the
table with his fist and shouted:
"By Godl, we will keep that bank
open if it takes every dollar of public
funds in the state of North Dakota!"
Then | told him he had better hunt
up new manager for the Bank of
North Dakota" said Waters. II
Waters also declared that he had
warned Governor Frazier of the con-
dition of the Scandinavian American
Bank. On this warning being un-
needed he had resigned as manager
Of the Bank of North Dakota.
Tells of 'Rake-Of" in Lumber Sale !
Waters also swore to conversa-
ton at the West Hotel in Minneapolis I
with F. r. Pollard, then purchasing
agent of the North Dakota Home
Building association. On this occasion,
he said, Pollard exhibited large roll
of bills and said that that was "six-
teen hundred dollars rake-off" he had
collected that day.
Waters swore that Pollard then told |
him that he (Pollard got four dollars
"rake-off" on every one thousand feet
of lumber he purchased for the Home
Builders association
1t was at the conclusion of this
part of the testimony that Waters
tainted.

FROM REMGTEST
PARTS OF GLOBE
Tanlac Elements Come From
Many Lands Far Away
From Here.

The ingredients from which tnc
celebrated medicine Tanlac is made.
come from remote sections of the
earth, and are transported thousands
of miles over land and sea to the
great Tanlac Laboratories at Dayton.
Ohio, and Walkerville, Canada
The Alps, Apprentices, Pyrenees,
Russian Asia. Brazil, West Indies,
Rocky Mountains, Asia Minor, Per-
STA, India, Mexico, Columbia and Pc
ru are among the far away points
from which the principal properties
of this remarkable preparation are
obtained.
What is said to be the largest
pharmaceutical laboratory in the
United States has been completed at
Dayton, Ohio, for the manufacture of
Tanlac which, according to recent re-
ports, is now having the largest sale
of any medicine of its kind in the
world; over 2O,OOO,OOO bottles hav-
ing been sold in six years.
The new plant occupies 10000
square feet of floor space and has
daily capacity of $4,000 bottles. Uni
form quality is guaranteed by a Sc
ries of careful inspections by expert
chemists from the time the roots,
herbs, bark and flowers are received
in their rough state from all parts
of the globe until their medicinal
properties have been extracted by
the most approved processes. The
finished medicine is then bottled, la
bled and shipped out to tens of
thousands of druggists thruout the
United States and Canada to supply
a demand never before equalled by
this, or any other medicine.

Poster Makes Strong Appeal For
Healthy Cattle.

Unlike most other infectious di-
seases, tuberculosis has an insidious
way of working under cover and Of
tentimes animals of the most healthy
appearance are found to react to the
tuberculin test, say veterinarians of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. No cattle owner can af-
ford TO live in doubt as to whether
his animals are affected, they add,
This point is brought. out clearly in
a two-cOlored poster published by
the department on which is shown
awO herds of dairy cattle. From all
appearances the animals of both
herds are healthy, but as a matter
of fact those of one herd are afflict-
ed with tuberculosis.
The poster also shows two children
one healthy, one diSeased-and the
point is brought out that tubercu-
1Ous animals may transmit the disease
to children who drink the milk pro-
duced. The poster is a strong appeal
for healthy cattle, and it is to be
used extensively in the tuberculosis
eradication campaign being carried
on by the department.
Careful experiments in practical
work have shown that tuberculosis
can not be detected to any great ex-
tent among animals by physical ex-
aminatiOns. The most reliable meth
I'D is the tuberculin test applied by
trained operator. Tuberculin, while
regarded as the most accurate
diagnOstic agency known TO science,
is safe only in the hands of a train
ed and skillful operator who is &C
Qnainted with its limitations and
with the symptoms it produces in the
animals TO which it is applied, the
department veterinarians say.

California grapes this year are
selling at $50 to 500 a ton, compared
with $40 to $50 ton before prohi-
bition. Officials claim the rise is
due to increased demand for grapes

caused by frost. This years crop of

He thought a reform would be
wrought if the term of the president
was limited to six years and he was
made ineligible for reelection, and
that greater economy would be eff

constitution could be adopted which
required a two-thirds vote of con-

Cherries May he Easily Dried.

Cherries May BE Easily Dried.
The months of June and July
are the cherry season turnout the
country. Everybody enjoys canned
cherries, but It is not so generally
understood that drying offers a sim
pie and economical method for pre-
serving cherries when canning is in
convenient.
Sweet cherries, especially the dark,
solid-fleshed varieties. such as the
Tartarian, Bing, Lambert, and Dixie
man. may be employed for the same
purposes as raisins. The sour or
pie cherries are also easily dried.
The fruit is washed, picked over to
remove stems and then spread in a
single layer on the trays and placed
in the drier.
If the fruits are very large, they
may be pitted before drying, but large
quantities of the juice, which contains
a considerable portion of the sugar
of the fruit, are lost in the process.
If this Juice which amounts to 80 to
SO gallons per ton of fruit. can be saw
ed and combined with apple or other
Juices in the making of jellies, pit
ting may be attempted, otherwise the
process is both time-consuming and
wasteful. The drier should not be
hotter than 12O degrees F. when
fresh cherries are placed in it, and
the temperature should never rise
above $50 degrees. as cherries es-
pcially are easily injured by over
heating.

The grapevine looper, a green worm
about an inch and a half long, some
times destructive to garden and ar
Dor grapes and to Virginia creeper,
has been found by the United States
Department of Agriculture observers
doing some damage to vineyards in

The worm ordinarily feeds from early
in June until the middle of July.
1t may be killed by spraying. A
solution of lie pounds of powder
ed arsenate of lead to so gallons of
liquid has been found effective. The
poison may be used in water or may
be combined with Bordeaux mixture
used to control fungous diseases. A

against the grapevine rootwOrm and

FossIIIzED BLOOD COrrusCLEs

Prof r. l.. Noodle of the UNIVERSE
ty of Illinois reports having found in
one of the bones of dinosaur un-
earthed in the Como fossil beds of
Wyoming ovoid bodies which had the
appearance of blood Corpuscles. BY
reason of the fact that European
scientists have found in prehistoric
bones similar bodies which they re-
garded as fossilized blood corpuscles
he is inclined to believe that what he
observed was nothing less. ALTHOUGH
blood corpuscles have never been
found in the bodies of Egyptian num-
mics, he says, traces of blood in them
are readily discernible. Red blood
was found in the body of a NAM
moth found in the frozen tundra of
eastern Siberia where it had been
buried for about $4,000 years
Scientific tests showed this blood to
be similar to that of the elephant of
times.

Poisoned Bait Is Best For Killing
CutwOrms.

CutwOrmS.
Cutworms appear in early spring
and cut off the stems of young plants
at the surface of the ground. They
are quickly destructive. The best
remedy is poisoned bait, For a small
garden mix level tablespoons of
white arsenic, arsenate of lead, or
Paris green into pounds of dry
bran. Add from to quarts of
water, in which half a pint of sor-
ghum or cheap molasses has been
mixed. After the mash has stood
several hours scatter it thinly over
the garden or small quantity at the
base of the plants. Put the poison
on late in the day, so it will be moist
during the night when the cutworms
feed.
