FORMER M. E. PASTOR
TRANSFERRED TO CITY

Rev. Harry l.. Maunder Sunday held
last services as pastor Of the First
Methodist church of Wahpeton. His
formal resignation of the pastorate
was accepted by his congregation two
weeks ago when he announced that he
had been asked to fill the pastorate
Of Excelsior Methodist Church of Min
neapolis.
Rev. Mr.. Maunder, this morning
with Mrs. Maunder and their son left
for Fargo to spend a day with friends
before going to their new home. Mr..
Maunder came to Wahpeton from Bot
tineau in October 1918. He has been
popular here and membership in his
church has been substantially in
creased. Mayor o. A. Leach, lead
ing member Of Mr.. Maunder's pas
torate, said about him, eve all regret
Mr.. Maunder's leaving US but it would
not be fair to induce him to stay when
he has received such an excellent offer
and we heartily wish him success in
his new ."-Richland Co. Farmers

BUSINESS MEN GIVE LITERALLY

C. G. Backeberg spent Monday and
Tuesday making the rounds Of the city
in the interest Of getting donations
to be sent to Attorney General Lemke
so that the State will be represented
at the railroad hearing and other cases,
money for which should have been ap-
propriated by the Legislature but
which was prevented by the l. V. A.
controlled House. Mr.. Backeberg sent
check to Mr.. Lemke this morning
for $1,000, which clearly shows that
the business men Of Bottineau-at
least the majority of them are In
terested in the good wrok being done
by the Attorney General.

LOCAL BOY HAS PATENT
WORTH THOUSANDS

Bottineau people will be glad to
hear that a patent has been issued to
Thomas Carlson, son of Rev. T. T.
Carlson, Of this city, and when he dis
poses of his patent rights, should be
worth anywhere from five thousand
dollars up.
The patent is a protector for closet
seats and no doubt within few years
will be in use extensively.
Thomas also tells us that he has a
number Of other ideas and will have
them patented when he sells his right
on the protector.

FORESTRY STATE
NORMAL NEWS

The DeKoven Club had very pleas.
ant stay in Antler a week ago last
Friday. The opera house was crowded
all standing room being taken. The
Club has been to AntleT before and
hopes to go again.
On Friday night this week the De-
Koven Club will give the concert at
Lansford. The Lansford schools are
assuming the responsibility for the ex-.
penses Of the thirty-five members Of
the Club. A very pleasant visit to
Lansford is anticipated.
!. At Assembly Exercises last Thurs
day Miss Ethel M. Fisher, head Of
the Commercial Department, made a
talk on the subject Of the higher in
stitutions Of the state. She pointed
out many reasons why the state should
maintain the Forestry State Normal
School. She also presented figures
showing that the state spends today
three times as much upon children in
the reform school as upon those who
are studying in higher institutions
such as ours.
This latter point suggests what was
recently set forth by the educators
Of one of the Carolinas. The teachers
there are considerably more underpaid
than in most states and it has been
demonstrated that if all the teachers
Of the state were in collusion to 60 out
some night and commit a crime and
get put into Jail, they would thereafter
receive more from the state than they
now do as teachers of the coming gen
Grafton Of citizens.
"The Nation and the Schools" is the
title of a new book by Keith and Bag
ley which sets forth the educational
situation in the United States It is
shown that the United States pays lsss
attention to the training of teachers
than any civilized nation. The book is
very well worth reading. It is pub
lished by the Macmillan Company,
Chicago, Ill.
At>Assembly Exercises on Monday
Miss Caroline M Lindley, Head Of
the Department Of English and Public
Speaking read 1.-THE Perfect Tribute"
by Mary Shipman Andrews, an inter-
esting story Of the Gettysburg Ad-
dress. It was much enjoyed by all
present. Z
The school is receiving many re-
quests for information concerning the
summer term Of 1921. A number Of
rooms at the .dormitofy have already
been reserved. It is expected that the
summer term Of 1921 will be consid-
erably larger than that of last sum
mer. Courses in teacher training, bust
ness, high school and collegiate work
will be offered. j..

Feb, End, 1921
Editor Courant,
Bottineau, N. Oak.
Dear Sir:
In the issue Of Jan. 28th Of The
Farmers Advocate, appeared letter
written by M. E. Watkins Of Indian
apolis, Indiana. Mr.. Watkins refers
to the people Of North Dakota in the
followings manner. 't.
Il am glad to note that you people
gave those Bolshevistic, N. P. LIS a
death blow, you will cleansout the nest
|of socialistic un-American vipers at
the next general election"
The writer knew Mr.. Watkins all
the time that he was in Boftineau
County. He was man who had the
Political Bee in his bonnet and would
have done anything to become Super
intendent Of Schools.
He used 70 take The Nonpartisan
Leader and leave it in the study room
at school 80 that the students could
read and study the paper. He made
the above confession in The Leader
about the time Of his second candidacy
for the above mentioned office.
Mr.. Watkins you must feel mighty
proud Of your record when you let
your pupils study and read the So
cialistic and Un-Amerisan, viperous
stuff that appeared in The Leader, at
that time. Why MI. Watkins did you
write that letter to the Leader? The
answer is. you thought that you could
pull the League support and thereby
be elected to the office to which you
aspired. You know Mr.. Watkins what
the people think Of . turncoat. Well,
that's what You are and we the people
Of North Dakota want you to UNDER
stand that We have . record that we
are proud Of, and we will still have q
better record when the state gets rid
Of such yowiing coyotes % you.
Sincerely yours, IA

The exposure Of the scandalously un-
fair rules coming a few hours before
the publication of the complete audit
of the state industries by the Equit-
able Audit company, have combined
to deprive the investigation Of any
further interest, even among the po-
litical forces that had planned to use
it for campaign purposes next elec-
ton.

SOMEBODY POISONED MY DOG

Somebody poisoned my dog today,
Though4he never did any i'll,
And SO he is through with his canine
play -,
And his wagglety tail is still.
No more shall walk in the fields with
him
Along at nay side to jog,
And-I don't care if my eyes are dim,
Somebody poisoned my dog!
He was homely, l know, as dog could
be,
And only mongrel too;
But I loved the old fellow and he loved
me 5 +.
As people and dogs may do.
Nothing on earth could disturb his
trust
Or his love and his faitf befog,
And now he lies here at my feet, in
the dust
Somebody poisoned my dogl
He crawled to my side and licked my
Z hand,
And then with gasp he died;
And though some people can't un-
derstand
! patted his head and cried;
For it isn't funny to lose q friend
From off Of this earthly cog,
And he was loyal unto the end
Somebody poisoned my dogl
I wonder how anybody could have
done "
This poor little fellow harm;
But here he Heshis race Is run
\ Though his body's still soft and
warm.
nv life Is lived on : peaceful plan,
Ny pace d i quiet Jog, s.s.

This earning is net, over and shove

preciation, market losses, interest
charges, organization and develop
meat expenses.
Fully Protected
The report further shows that the
Bank of North Dakota is fully pro-
tected on loss on funds in closed banks
whether state or national; that the
Bank of North Dakota steadied the IL
nanciai situation in the state, at the
time when the Ninth Federal Reserve
Bank was forcing collections in North
Dakota while it was at the same time
extending further credit to other Sec
tions in the district. By this means,
the Federal Reserve Bank, in refus-
ing to extend credit to the farmer,
was granting such credits that the
milling interests Of the Twin Cities
were enabled to hold the crop after
it rot into their hands. .
The report shows that, since Oct.
is. and up to Dec. 81, 1920, the Bank
Of North Dakota carried re-deposits
il approximately 800 out Of the SOO
state and national banks in the state.
This is held to disprove the claim that
the Bank played politics" in hand
! ling the funds, and further shows that
] the Bank Of North Dakota acted as
protection to the banks Of the state
when the financial stringency, due 70
the deflation policy Of the eastern
banking interests, struck the state.
