Many Complain of Depleted
Police Ranks as Raids Tie
I'm More Men

Police orders issued yesterday trans
ferred 1866 more patrolmen from various
precincts to duty in places raided for
dry law violations. This was the third
assignment of large number of uni
formed men to such duty. The police
men 30 assigned are required to remain
constantly on guard in raided premises.
Twenty men were also assigned to
plainclothes duty yesterday for work
with raiding squads.
Complaints from business men that
the uniformed fonce on active police
duty is being dangerously depleted be-
cause of the liquor law enforcement
campaign are being received in increas-
ing numbers. The condition of the
court calendars is said to be so con-
gested that magistrates despair Of

On that date, when the matter was

Peck, Of the Minnesota extension
service, at the subject matter school
for extension workers at the Agri-

AK ROLLS FOR 1921 ARE READY
! and One.Half of Regular A.
sessments Delinquent on
March LIST.

The tax roll for 1921 for Ward
County is now ready in the county
treasurer's office, and these show the
division of payments as required by
an order of former Attorney General
William Lemke, requiring that all
special assessments and one-half of
the remaining tax be paid in the first
payment, which becomes delinquent
ON March first next.
In some cases, more than 80 per
cent of the ctal tax bill will have to
be paid in the first installment under
Mr. Lemke's ruling. Regarding
farms, all hail tax and drainage taxes
must be paid in the first payment, in
addition to one-half of the remaining
taxes; on city taxes, all special as
sessments must be paid in addition to
one-half the remaining tax in the
March payment, according to the
ruling. The remaining taxes become
delinquent as heretofore, on Oct. 18th.
In former years, the special taxes
and other taxes were added together
and the taxpayer was required to pay
but half the total on March l and
the remainder on October Is. Mr..
Lemke informed the county treasurers
of the state that this system was un-
lawful and that all special taxes had

SCHOOL BUILDING

Plans are expected to arrive this
week for the proposed school building
which is to be constructed at the
corner of 9th St. and 9th Ave. N. E.
during the coming summer. The
plans are being furnished by Tyre &
Chapman, Minneapolis architects who
revised the plans for the Minot high
school building.
The school board proposes to build
a structure costing $100,OOO.00, hav-
ing eight rooms, with possibility of
finishing two additional rooms when
needed. The plans call for gym
nasium, approximately 30x6O feet, to
be formed from portion of the base
ment and first story, with seating
capacity Of 500. There are to be
shower baths and the building is to
be strictly modern in every particular.
The condition Of the Minot schools
at present is crowded. At the Nc
Kinley school, two rooms are being
used in the basement, which are en-
tirely unfit for the purpose. A frame
structure is being used to relieve the
congestion at Sunnyside and scores
of the Mckinley pupils are attending
Central school. 1t is estimated
that upon the completion of the pro-
posed new building, six rooms will be
filled Immediately, leaving just the
ordinary number Of pupils in the other
schools. The Great Northern rail-
way company proposes to locate its
shops in the northeastern section Of
the city and when this is done, there
will be many more families in that
part Of the city to be Accommodated.

night SCHOOL TO
Open JANUARY 8

The Minot night school will open
on January 9 and indications are that
the attendance will be fully as large
as during the two preceding years.
j.. H. Cotton, principal of the high
school, will again be in charge, and he
will have as usual very capable
corps of instructors. Mr.. Cotton is
already working out his plans and will
give practically all tne courses of the
preceding years, and perhaps some
additional ones if desired.
The night schols everywhere are
doing great good. Foreigners are
given an opportunity to learn to read
and write. With night schools held
about the state, it will be but short
time until our ten thousand illiterates
will have vanished and our state
placed in the 100 per cent class.
Many practical courses will be Offered, !,
such as gas engineering, manual
training, and domestic science. Those
who were preparing to become citizens
year ago learned lessons in Ameri-
canism so we'll that they passed
the examination given by the district
Judge with colors flying.

santa CLAUS VISITS
AT CRlERS PROGRAM

The Minot Town Criers held one Of
the most enjoyable banquets in the
history Of the organization at the AS
sociation of Commerce rooms Tues
day evening. As the Criers marched
into the dining hall to the, strains of
music furnished by the Town Criers
own orchestra, they found the room
transformed into bower of lowell
ness. The tables had been set in the
form of square around the room
beautiful Christmas tree resplendent
with dozens of little colored electric
bulbs and Christmas decorations. The
Christmas tree was furnished by the
Gamble Robinson Co. and the electri-
cal work was done by the Kopald
Electric Co. The Christmas deco
rations were furnished by the Globe
Gazette Co. Mrs. Tompkins, who
served an appetizing dinner, had the
tables very prettily decorated with
red trimmings, the candles giving
subdued light L. A. White, the
POSTMASTER, read a number of tele-
grams announcing the approach Of
Santa Claus, who arrived in due time
in all his splendor. Old Santa Claus
had melodious voice not unlike that
Of Dave Phillips, and actually had a
Jewish accent. Santa presented each
Crier with gift, and as his name was
called, he was compelled to advance
by several upright or irregular steps
to the center of the room, there to
receive it. Some received toy
drums, others tin horns, handkerchiefs
n everything. The Criers voted t.
donate the presents to the Salvation
Army to be presented to the poor lit
tie kiddies of Minot.
The orchestra under the direction of
John Howard. supported by F. R. Hol-
den, Dick Millsand, and Verne Kelsey
gave number of enjoyable selections
Mr.. Howard gave delightful violin
solo and for an encore played "Silent
Night, that old time Christmas mel
cdy that took the Criers back to the
days of their boyhood when thew
heard the wondrous story of Christ,
the Redeemer, at mothers knee.
Mr.. Howard was given an expression
of thanks for the good work he is do
ing in musical way in our schools
and in the community.
G. D. Colcord told few stale yarns
and introduced "Sunny Jim" Falconer,
hitherto undiscovered legerdemain
artist who proceeded to balance a
nickle on the edge of dollar, on his
a~--',:---, r-oboscis. A funnel had
been stuck inside Jim's vest to catch
the nickle and while he was raz n '
towards the ceiling, Bert Ger'ich
poured glass of ice cold water into
the funnel. Of course Jim squirmed
and this caused a hearty laugh, but
when he pulled a hot water bottle
from under his vest, containing every
drop of water, there was another
laugh.
Mr.. Marshall, of Grand Forks, who
is here for the purpose Of getting out
a city and county directory, explained
the object of his mission.
Judge Burr gave a twenty minute
address on democratic forms of gov
eminent and referred to the ira
ditional historical expressions which

banks and interests of the depositors
and creditors have been utterly neg
lected in many instances.
Acting on instructions from the
governor, who has discussed the mat
ter with the members of the banking
board, State Examiner Gilbert Sem
ingson has requested the designations
of receivers of all closed banks; this
request is accompanied by the infor-
nation that they may file their ap-
plications anew, and those who are
able to show a good record will have
a chance to get their jobs back.
A complete reorganization of the
receiverships is planned for the pur-
pose Of expediting the work and
prevent unnecessary expenditures.
Complaints have been filed against
several receivers. The banking board
last week took up the case against H.
J. Oberman, receiver of the Citizens
State Bank of Edgely. 1t took the
case under advisement.

YOUNG DESPERAD0EN
TELL About STEALING
flLbRIS' CAR-fREE

George Kohl and A. ]. Watson,
tried in district court before Judge
Burr charged with stealing VIM:
Filaris' new Cadillas car, were found
not guilty. The verdict of the jury
came as quite a surprise, when it is
considered that the young men ad-
nitted having taken the car, but they
declared that they had done so with
the consent and knowledge of the
owner.
In order to prove larceny, there
must be an element Of taking prop
erty from another without the owners
consent. As the state had little
evidence against the two men, except
their own testimony, the jury was
compelled to accept their own state.
ments clear through or disregard
all of their testimony.
This does not mean that the jury
believes that Filaris knew that the
young men were to take the car as
they stated on the witness stand, for
it is believed generally that this is a
very clever story concocted by the de-
fendants. They claimed they went to
Filaris with proposition that they
should steal his car, so that he
might collect the insurance, some
100000 and that Filaris told them
they might roll the car out. They
stated they took the car from Guy
Franks garage where it was stored
and where they found it unlocl6ed.
They drove the car to Outlook, Mont.
that night and took it over into Can
ada later where it has been located.
They left the car at Regina and Mr..
Filaris left for that city Saturday
night intending to bring it back.
It is reported that the young men
upon their return to Minot, went to
Filaris and asked him for the key as
they said the fellow in Canada who
had the car was in need of it.
Watson and Kidd are about as
nervy pair of young criminals as
have ever operated in this section.
A warrant charging them with con-
spiracy has been secured by States
Attorney Herigstad. Kidd and Wat
son have left the city but will be re-
arrested should they return.

STRAWPILE HARBORS
TENTH OF CROP

Fargo, N. D.-Ten percent of the
North Dakota wheat crop annually is
blown into the straw pile and lost, in
: most inefficient attempt to clean out
the foul seed which, in spite of this
attempt at cleaning, makes up an
other ten percent Of the weight OF the
wheat when sold, DR.. John Lee Coulter
president of the Agriculture College,
told the state extension workers at
the subject matter school at the col
lege this month. }.F
This inefficient cleaning-0r really
lack Of cleaning-loses the North Da-
kota farmer more money annually
than any other one phase Of the
marketing problem, not excluding
even the high freight rates, DR..
Coulter said. To get the most mon
ey for his crop, the farmer must
standardize it, or grade it into classes
Of one size, kind and soundness. It
is easy for the farmer to do this, he
said, The market always penalties
the product that. contains different
sizes and kinds, and gives premium
for standard products.
Cleaning grain, or standardizlng
any other farm product, on the farm
itself instead Of at the terminal
market, not only increases the pos
slble market value of the product, but
saves in freight, handling and selling
costs on the defective part of the
product-and in the case of wheat, of
the weed seed. Potatoes grown for
market should be graded and pre-
pared on the farm, livestock should be
kept uniform, and other products
standardized Before leaving the farm,
if the farmer is to get the full final
market price for them.

home at Columbia Falls, Mont, where
himself and wife are enjoying the
winter. Mr. Mann has given con-
siderable time to the study of coal
formation and oil and says he is COM

us where to find oil. He says we
should look east of Minot for oil He
says the Ignite coal mines of North
Dakota were all laid down about
two and one-half million years ago,
which is some little time ago. Mr..
Mann has it all figured out.
