NEW OFFICIALS
HARD AT WORK
Administration Sets Dizzy Pace i
Effort to Fulfill Prediction
Promises
BOND SITUATION is CLEARED UP
Industrial Commission Usually in Ses
49, sion Until Midnight

If the new administration can hold
the pace set during the past ten days
it is going to take a comparatively
short time to bring order out Of chaos.
Governor Nestos, Attorney General
johnson and Commissioner Kitchen
start the days work at 500 o'clock
in the morning, an hour earlier than
the usual custom, and the industrial
commission is usually found in session
up till midnight.
The result Of this hard work is al
ready beginning to show. The mud
dled-up bond sale situation has been
cleared and the bonds disposed of on
much better terms than were hoped
for, and at considerably saving to
the tax payers; reductions have been
made in unnecessary or illegally high
salaries in cases where the admins
tration was in position to act forth
with, and steps have been taken to
carry this policy of economy into the
insurance department, the board of ad-
ministration and the. Workmen's Com
pensaton bureau. Several unneces-
0d1y yOO IlOlQc1S HdNc UCSu ulSCIldIkcu.
The industrial commission has sue
ceeded in revising the contract made
with Spitzer, Rorick & Co. by the re-
tired commission in a last-minute ac-
tion. The revised contract withdraws
from the deal $4,500,000 of the real
estate series, about $1,000,O00 of the
mill and elevator series, and about
100000 of the BODYBUILDING series.
Secretary L. F. Crawford of the in
dustrial commission left for Chicago
recently to arrange for the delivery
Of 100000 of mill and elevator bonds
Immediately. AS soon as this trans
action is completed and the money paid
over the affairs of the Mill and Elevat-
or association will be put in shape and
construction work on the enterprises
at Grand Forks proceeded with at full
speed.
In the same manner the new manag-
er Of the farm loan department of the
Bank of North Dakota, w. B. De-
Nault, will arrange for a speedy de-
livery of block Of real estate bonds.
It is expected that some of the appli-
cations already on file may be attend
ed to during the winter months, but
the members of the commission believe
that new appraisals are advisable in
most cases and this cannot very we'll
be done as long as snow is on the
ground.
Few appointments have been made
so far and few will be made in the
immediate future. Most of the bu-
reau and department chiefs appointed
by the last administration are reluc-
tant to let go Of their jobs, and as
they are in charge Of their respective
Offices there are few places to fill. A
large army Of Office seekers is in Bis
marck, but the majority Of them will
have to return home. disappointed.
The new officials are making q good
showing and should be encouraged.

WINS A FREE TRIP TO CHICAGO
Hazel Marshall Carries OF the State
Canning Championship

One Dickey county girl is happy this
week and father and mother are
Justly proud Of her work. In fact
all Dickey county is proud of her. She
is now on her way to the big stock
show in Chicago. Here is the story
of her achievement. Read it and see
if you still think that our twentieth
century girls are all forgetting the
art Of home-inaking.
Hazer Marshall, daughter of A. S
Marshall, living in the Forbes com.
munity, wins free trip to the Inter.
national Live Stock exposition in Chi
cago as result of carrying off the
state canning championship in boys
and girls club work.
Hazel enrolled in the canning pro-
ject last April and has put up 39a
quarts Of fruit, 227 quarts of vege.
tables, 156 quarts Of meats, 46 quarts
Of soups and 1876 pints Of jellies, max.
ing a total Of ss91z quarts of pro.
ducts. These are quoted at market
price of $391.45 and cost $167.45, max.
ing her a net profit Of $224.00.
She was also a sewing and bread.
making club member and turned ir
some very good reports on both the
latter projects. She completed 12 ar.
ticles in the sewing project, besides
doing some of the home mending and
darning. In her bread project her re.
port shows that she baked 1,464 loaves
Of bread, besides a number Of quick.
breads, cakes and other bakings.
That all of her work was of good
quality is shown by the fact that she
took prizes at the county fair, winning
six first prizes and one third prize in
the Home Economics department OF
club work.
This trip is made possible through
the Hazel-Atlar Glass Co., which con-
cern awarded a hundred dollars to be
used for an educational trip to the
state champion in canning.
A. S. Marshall is not in the grocery
business, but his basement has all the
earmarks Of community storehouse
and it is a sure thing that none Of his
nine children will go hungry for some
time or worry about the high cost OF
canned food. In fact any one who
knows the family Of husky boys and
healthy girls can now see where Mrs
Marshall finds the vitamines and other
precious constituents of vegetable
diet which she uses to keep her chill
dren growing during the winter.
Hazel is to be congratulated upon
her earnest and persistent work and
Dickey county is proud of the young
lady's achievement.

A Reminder

We know that the financial con- dition of many of our most loyal subscribers has made it almost impossible for them to pay their / subscription during the dull sea- son of the year, but now that pressing debts of many are out of the way and the harvest time is coming to a close with barns and cellars better filled than ever. therefore we ask all of our subscribers who are able to make a remittance, to do SO at once without waiting for a statement, as the cost of sending out state ments is large and ought to be unnecessary.
 Almost all of our subscribers will renew and we do not discon- tinue unless requested. We have kept the price of the paper at $1 per year and have allowed some subscriptions to run over a year, because we trusted you. now we want you to kindly fold a check or a dollar bill in an envelope and mail it to us. Do 1t today and we will thank you.
