The employees Of the Peoples Co.

and had a most delightful time. They
were chaperoned by the manager.
Harvey Taylor, who made a very good
chaperone, only it is said he wanted
to talk and make speeches little too
often, but it is not reported to whom
he wanted to make the speeches. Miss
Faukald and Miss Dahl went out in
the afternoon to prepare the supper
and the rest of the bunch followed
about seven in the evening. The time
was spent in having social time, en-
joying a fine spread" and it was a
happy gathering. Alex. Alexander

WHY THEY SPEND MORE

It has cost the administration $780,
900 for its campaign expenses to date
not to mention the state funds that
have gone for speakers expenses
and if the independent forces have
spent but $4,000, it is because the ad-
ministration has had to do at least IL
times the amount of explaining that
the independents have found neces-
sary. 49,.
Here are few of the hard facts
that the administration has had to
explain away:
Taxes have been tripled in North
Dakota by the Socialists.
Marketing conditions, whoch were
to be improved, are worse than they
ever were.
Farmers are getting less for their
grain and paying higher freight rates
than they ever did.
Surcharges on public utility rates
in the three biggest cities we're i'm
posed by nonpartisan board.
The Bank of North Dakota is in
solvent, and unable to meet the just
claims Of its depositors. r.
Taxes which have been levied and
paid for specific purposes have been
dissipated and the money is no longer
available.
The program of state marketing
operative marketing plan.
The state homebuilders' department
has quit functioning and it's affairs are
in a deplorable state. House buyers
do not even know what they will have
to pay for their houses.
The state insurance department is
more than year behind in it's pay
ments of losses, and some of the 1920
claims will not be paid for two years.
Virtually every enterprise sponsor
ed by the inner circle of the Socialists
is bankrupt, the Consumers United
Stores company alone costing the
farmers more than $1,000,000.
State money was deposited in
league banks" and reloaned by them
to the political gangsters for their
private schemes. These schemes are
now bankrupt, the s'league banks" are
bankrupt, and the Bank of North Da-
kota is whistling for it's money.
Money solicited from the farmers
for Victory fund" has been used to
pay CllS ucUIS VI MI. ASulhS SOQl lS1
News, and the "Victory fund" has
been spent as fast as it has been col.
lected.

NJ. Lemke unlawfully took money col

The directors Of the Bank Of Nortl
Dakota are violating the state Law

r. ,ney in an insolvent bank.
These are but a few Of the fact!
which the Socialists must explain

ON NEAR EAST

New York, Aug. 15.A gradual
sterilization of the economic situa-
ton in Syria is reported by the Rev
L. G. Moultrie, Of Valley City, North
Dakota, formerly secretary Of the
North Dakota Diocese of the Episco.
pal Church, who arrived here today
after service of almost two years with
Near East Relief in that region. He
credited American Relief activities
with a large share of the responsible
ity for this Improvement.
"Relief work in Syria is now chiefly
an orphanage problem" he told Near
East Relief officials. I'm the Beirut
Aleppo area there are approximately
five thousand orphans alone. Until
they have reached maturity, Ameri-
cas- Job in that part of the world has
not been finished. To withdraw now
would mean that a large number of
these children would be turned out
upon the country to starve or perish
from disease. Now they are receiving
the best of care and training.
every orphan leaving Near East
Relief institutions upon reaching ma
turity is adequately equipped to care
for himself through familiarity with a
trade or profession. Vocational train
ing is featured in the education of all
children in our orphanages.
"Gradually the number of orphan
ages are being reduced. The policy
being followed is to concentrate the
children in few large institutions as
fast as decreasing numbers will per-
! nit"
According to Mr.. Moultrie, Ameri-
can charity has been responsible for
saving the lives of thousands of chill
dren and adults in Syria through the
post-armistice activities Of the Near
East Relief.
Passing through Constantinople on
his way back to the United States, Mr..
Moultrie met Near East Relief agents
from Anatolia, Trans-causasia, and
other regions in the north where war
and political upheavals during the past
year have prevented the Improvement
which has been worked in Syria. Ac-
cording to the report of these workers:
he said, thousands will perish during
the coming winter unless immediate
aid is furnished them. He declared
that the American relief workers are
counting largely upon the response
of American farmers this harvest to
the Near East Relief's appeal for five
million bushels of grain to prevent
wholesale starvation. especially in
Transcaucasia. Insufficient supplies
and reduced appropriations, according
to the latest reports from this region,
resulted in the turning away Of ten
thousand children who applied for ad-
mission to Near East Relief centers
in Armenia and Georgia.
Mr.. Moultrie was in charge Of the
orphanage at Chair, near Beirut:
where $50 children were housed. He
is we'll known throughout North Da-
kota. In addition to having served as
secretary of the Diocese of that state.
he was formerly an alderman in Val
ley City, a Chautauqua director, and
an editor with the religious press
His wife, also relief worker, whom
he married overseas, is remaining at
the orphanage until September to
carry on the work pending the arrival
of additional workers from the United
States. I....

can. The price of one battleship, ju.

North Dakota cannot borrow dollar.
But at that, if all the money that is
frozen up in wild cat investment and

the state treasury, North Dakota
would not need to borrow money to
