FARMBUREAUPA. y.
RADE SUCCESSFUL

On July Z Farm Bureau. parade
was staged at the county fair. Owing
to the bad roads, a large number of
the floats did not arrive, however, the
parade was success considering the
circumstances. Seventeen decorated
floats were in the parade. This pa
rade was headed by the executive farm
bureau float and was followed by
floats representing the three lines Of
extension work, namely: County
Agent Work, Boys and Girls Club
work, and Home Demonstration work.
Educational floats featuring the fol-
lowing subjects brought out some Of
the activities ,of the Farm Bureau.
Mr.. Ed. Emery of the Farm Bureau
executive committee was responsible
for float showing the National Re-
ferendum. Ashtabula community
had an executive float featuring Crop
Rotation. Grand Prairie very en-
phatically pictured the old and the
modern kitchen by mean of apparatus
run by Delco light plant. Mr..
Grant, another member Of the execu-
tive committee, featured the U.' S.
Grain Growers. Green township:
which has the largest Farm Bueau
in the county, brought out
that idea in their float.
Several boys and girls club floats
in the parade. Grand Prai-
rie had demonstration team float.
The Cuba Boys and Girls Club had
two membership floats, and the Norma
Thrifties also appeared in full force.

pirate decorated float to signify their
line of work. The Alta livestock club
featured stock judging.

JUDGE ROBNSC:s.
GIVES HIS VIEWS

Judge Robinson, Of the state su-
Fpreme court, gets rid Of the follow
\ ing in his Saturday evening letter:
About 25 per cent Of the taxes for
1920 remains uncollected. BY adding
this to the sum collected you will find
that for the year 1920 the total state
taxes are in excessuof thirteen and
one-half million dollars. You will
readily see that is twice the sum Of a
reasonable state tax. For these two
years the regular state tax levy was
based on the assessment Of the years
1919 and 1920; and in those years
Governor Frazier and VIM. LANCER
were in control of the State Board Of
Equalization. BY adding a large per
cent to the assessed valuation they
boosted the state and local tax levies.
We must learn to place the blame or
responsibilities where it belongs and
to give unto Caesar that which is
Caesars.
In the year Of Our Lord, 1921-in
August - GOVERNOR FRAZIER
AND VIM. EEMKE will be in control
of the State Board Of Equalization and
will levy the regular state tax which
are based on assessed valuations. The
question is, Glow much will they re-
duce the assessments and the tax lev
ies?" Will they make reduction
equal the advance of the former two
years? If so, it would knock some
wind out of the recall.
Do you know why it is that the state
and the local taxes amount to such an
enormous figure? Do you know why
the state appoints tax commissioners
and tax supervisors to build up such
collosal system Of taxation? The
reason is that those who are in Office
and who levy the state and local taxes
prefer to handle large sum rather
than small sum because there is a
greater chance for part of it to stick
to the fingers Of themselves or their
friends. AS the tax question is every
body's business it is nobody's bust
ness. Nobody cares to assume the
burden Of public accounting or Of
calling indignation meetings to expose
the wrongs by showing exact figures.
Few, if any, know where to place re.
sponsibility, where to turn for relief
and how to obtain redress. s, =. 9

COMPANY G HAS
~. WEEKLY DRILL

Company G held its regular weekly
drill last night on the north end of
Fourth avenue. There was a fairly
good attendance but no reason why
there should not have been more. Ac-
cordlng to an announcement made to
the company last night by Capt. r. j,
Mcdonald, the men must attend 60
per cent of the monthly drills in order
to get on the pay roll at the end of the
month. He stated he was making up
the pay roll for the month of June:
and that it did not look. as good as it
ought to. It is true that many Of the
boys are out of town and cannot at
tend some Of these drills, but those
members who are here ought to take
enough pride in their company to be
at the drills and learn to soldier so
ehat if the company is ever called out
it can hold up the reputation of the old
company in the line of drilling and
personal appearance. Captain Nc
Donald also told the boys last night
that if more of them did not attend
the drills, Valley City was in danger
Of losing the company, but that this
would not excuse the members. They
would be attached to nearby compan-
les such as Jamestown and Fargo and
would have to report there for duty
when called out. Valley City has had
this company for such long time
tag. it would be hard to see it taken
away on account of the boys not join
ing and the ones that have Joined not
being present at the drills. The COM
pany is coming along fine, and those
who attend the drills are picking it
up fast. The captain last night read
Company Order No. to the men:
which was in the way of promotions
in the company.
Following are the promotions made:

TO GET GOOD
PRICE FOR CROP

Prediction that the northwest will
produce good grain crop this season
and that the producers will receive a
reasonable price for their grain. this
fall, was made by Curtis L. Mosher
assistant federal reserve agent for the
Federal Reserve Bank Of Minneapolis
in an address before the fourth an
nual convention of the North Dakota
Grainmen's union at the Auditorium
today.
Mr.. Mosher declared that this years s
crop was the most economical crop
that the northwest has grown in the
last Is years, due to the low cost of
seed and labor. He said that this
condition would result in great adj
vantage to the farmers for the reason
that money and credit saved during
the spring and summer in producing
the crop would be money and credit
earned in the fall when the crop is
marketed.
The federal reserve banker declar-
ed he would make no attempt to specu-
late on what the price Of grain would
be in the fall; that it was one Of the
mos uncertain things in the world !;
and tina the grain price depends on
the production Of grain in all parts of
the world and not in one certain
region. He declared that no one dis
trict could produce enough grain to
control the market price to any great
extent.
Mr.. Mosher spoke of the great blow
that had been dealt to the world as a
result of the war, which, he said, has
resulted in cost of 1897 ,0O0, 900 900
to the nations for military activities
the cost of production and the loss of
human life. He said that present con-
ditions are a result Of the attempt
that is now being made by the nations
to recover from this great blow.
/ Four factors were cited by Mr..
Mosher as the chief conditions upon
which prosperity depends, using the
United States as basis for his illus
tration. They were, first, our buying
power; second absorbing power of
foreign nations; third, the value Of
our money; and fourth, the cost Of
production. He expressed the opinion
that these conditions primarily gov
ern the nations credit and that they
reflect to the individual. ats.
. Speaking of the financial losses
that have been sustained during the
last year by the farmers in the mar
keting Of their products, Mr.. Mosher
called attention to the fact that the
farmers were not alone in their losses
but that other businessmen and
manufacturers had sustained great
losses as result of the drop in the
cost Of production and the sudden
stringency on credit.

HAVE MONEY TO
HANDLE 1921 CROP

The United States Grain Growers,
Inc, through its finance corporation,
now fully organized, will have suff-
cient funds by Aug. I to handle on
the market all the wheat signed up
for the Grain Growers pool for 1921.
This assurance was given today by
Usher L. Burdick, president of the
North Dakota Farm Bureau fedora
tion and a member Of the board Of
directors Of the Grain Growers, nc,
who returned yesterday from meet
ing of the board in Chicago.
Mr.. Burdick estimated that by
Aug. about 100000, 900 bushels of
wheat would be pledged by the farm
ers Of he United States for market
through the Grain Growers, Inc. He
said that by that time the organiza-
tion's finance corporation would have
available approximately $20,O00,000
with which finance the operations.
declaring that this sum would be
sufficient to handle the farmers
wheat this year.
Through the efforts of George c.
Jewett, Spokane banker and a men,
ber of the board of directors, Mr..
Burdick said, the Federal Reserve
bank system has issued ruling that
farmers notes backed by bonded
warehouse receipts are to be con-
sidered as agricultural paper and ac-
ceptable for redicount at the banks.
This, he said, would aid materially in
the financing of the wheat crop this
fall. ,.-.
Mr.. Burdick reported that as a re-
suit of action taken by the board at
IS meeting in Chicago last week, a
congressional investigation of the
United States Grain Growers, Inc,
would be launched with the view of
ascertaining whether or not the or
ganization is a benefit to the farmers.
North Dakota has earned the distinc-
tion, Mr.. Burdick said, of having been
the first state in the union to send
money for its membership to national
headquarters, organization work be-
ing we'll under way in this state. 9th
er states begin their organization
work today. a's2,a
B. H. Critchfeld, organizer for the
Grain Growers, reported today that
so far IS elevators in North Dakota
have been signed up to market grain
through the Grain Growers.

.SHEYENNE RIVER
CLAIMS VICTIM

Yesterday afternoon about five
O'Clock, Paul Nicola, son of Julius
Nicola, who lives six and a half miles
southeast Of town, gave up his life tc
the Sheyenne river while in swimming
with several others. The young man
we are told, had swan across the riy.
er and was on his way back to this
side in the vicinity Of the Chilbere
farm. All at once he went down and
out of sight and did not come up
again. Several Of the young men
present and swimming went down re-
peatedly to try and locate him but
failed to do so. Help was asked and a
number of citizens went out to the
place to assist in recovering the body.
Chief Swanson got graphing irons
and soon the body was located and
three young men, George ,Wertin,
Hurley Codding and Morley Mulhair
dived down and brought up the body.
Doctors A. w. and A. C.. Macdonald
had been summoned and they pro-
nounced life gone. The young man
had been under the water, some forty
or fifty minutes before his body was
recovered. He was about 22 years
old and unmarried. No one really
knows what happened to him but the
general theory is that it was heart
failure as there was very little water
in his lungs. It was all over 50 sud-
denly that those present really did not
know what was going on. The body
was taken in charge by Coroner Hol-
berg. To the family who has been SO
suddenly bereaved the sympathy OF
their neighbors and friends lis extend
ed. At this writing arrangements for
the funeral had not been held.
