INTEREST RUNNING HIGH

Golfers seem to have taken
more interest in this invitation
tournament than any yet staged in
the Magic City, and Charlie Hall,
golf pro at the Country club, has
been thrown into several fits of
ecstacy over the preparations the
experts have been making to get
up on their game
/ was talking to Col. Bob Baugh
down at the Arms Monday. and he
was at that moment selecting
driver, preparatory to getting out
on the greens. Colonel Bob wants
to improve his game bit, and he
tells me that the invitation tour
nament will probably start Bir-
mingham off on its biggest sum
mer Of golf. Mr.. Baugh says there
are more people playing golf here
and more interest in the game
than in the history of the sport in
Birmingham.
It's all been settled now, and
there's really no use of staging
the fight. Deschamps, manager of
Carpenter comes out in an inter
view and says Carp will win. In
doing so he shattered a precedent.
No manager has ever made such
claim, prior to a fight before.

LYNN FILES RECALL PETITIONS
Attempt Made to Call Election to I'm.
seat Goughnour, Newly.Appointed
Commissioner from First District.
Petitions Insufficient.

Recall petitions were filed by the
Lynns Monday of last week with the
county auditor asking the recall of
Frank Goughnour, appointed to fill
Matthews place as commissioner from
the First District. Later, petitions
were filed requesting the name of T.
E. Lawler be placed on tho ballot as
a candidate.
The Lynns filed their petition Mon
day, the 31st, according to Auditor
Brant. However, three DAYS later,
On Thursday, Feb. Sd, the deputy
county auditor did not know of such
filing.
Recall petitions filed carry 292
names, according to Auditor Brant.
A test case will be made in district
court to enjoin the county auditor
from calling special election in that
district. The recall law, under
which the proposed recall is attempt
ed, makes no provision for any such
recall. 1t provides that a recall may
be had in the state, Judicial or legis-
lative district or counties by petitions
bearing thirty per cent of the number
who voted for governor in the last
general election. No provision is
made for recall of many elective Of
ficers of smaller subdivisions than a
county, such as township, school dis
trict, commissioners, etc. 1t may
be barely possible that the supreme
court might hold that the law applies
to county commissioners on the
theory that commissioners are not
district officials, bat county officials.
However, in that case, thirty per cent
of the electors Of the county would be
required.
Emmons county cast 1919 votes for
governor at the last general election.
Hence, 996 signers are required to
have the necessary 80 per cent. The
petitions carry only 292 names.
Papers have been drawn to restrain
the county auditor from proceeding
and will be heard in district court.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

On account of so many of the LIE.
gion members being in the band, and
the fact that they were putting on 9
concert last Wednesday evening, there
was no meeting held. The next
meeting will be March Sd.
Following are some commandments
suggested to Legion members:
1. Don't attend meetings if il
SHOWS. You might get your feet wet
and you are not in the physical con.
ton that you were in the cantonments
or at Brest.
2. Don't think of going if it is
warm, moonlight night. There are
lots of other things you could do that
sort of a night. FIR instance
oh, roll your own idea.
3. If you attend a meeting, fine
fault with everything that is going
on. If your officers are showing pep
demand to know in open meeting wha,
political Offices they intend running
for.
a. Never accept an Office in the
Post. Most Offices have duties con.
nected with them, and it is much
easier to criticise the way the other
fellow is trying to handle the job.
5. Get sore at the organization
if you are not appointed on a com.
mittee.
6. If you are appointed, DOM
bother about attending meetings
They are often bore.
q. During the discussion on mo-
tion, keep still. After it has passed
tell everyone why they should have
voted it down.
8. Forget to pay your dues. The
Post can get along a little while
longer without your small contribu
ton.
9. Don't try to get new members
George will do it.
10. Don't do any work on Posr
affairs, or any more than is absolutel,
necessary. When other members rol
up their sleeves and give unselfshl,
of their time and ability to help thing.
along, get up on your hind legs ant
howl that the Post is being run by {
clique.
II. Remember-you owe ito dut!
to sick or disabled Buddy-you
own personal comfort comes first.

ganization of the Women's auxiliary
and will likely be here soon; and the,
meeting will be called of those VIII,

the loss in one year Of operation has
been several times tho original price
Of the mill. Had the mill been owned
privately, and had been run on such
business principles, the owners would
have been completely wiped out in the
first year of operation. After them
selves purchasing the mill, in the face
Of strong opposition, the Industrial
Commission glibly informs the public
that the mill is too small to be q
paying investment. Just what dis
position Of it can be made is not clear
from the report.
The Commission informs the public
that large mill like the proposed
mill at Grand Forks would not lose,
but would make money. It is claim
ed by many grain men, however, that
the Commission is not following COM
mon sense in their reason. Grain
men state that, as the report shows
losses at the Drake mill to be due to
lack Of hedging, losses ON a much
larger mill would have been many
times greater because of the much
larger volume of grain that would
have been on their hands for the lar
ger mills use. In fact, they say,
the Grand Forks mill under the same
management as the Drake mill, would
have probably lost as much as did the
Equity Packing Plant, an institution
Of about the same financial size.
During the last two campaigns, the
battery Of league newspapers howled
loud and long about the vast profits"
Of the Drake mill, etc., etc. Now,
only few short weeks after election,
the league officials calmly admit loss
q almost equaling the total cost price
Of tho mill.

FARM BUREAU MEET.
INGS IN EMMONS COUNTY
Drive for Membership to Be Con-
Quoted Locally.

The result of seven of the eighteen
scheduled meetings so far, is to the
effect that great interest is manifest
ed in the Farm Bureau, and the drive
in each of the townships visited will
be conducted locally and not by hired
solicitors. Mr.. Ed. Delaney, of
Valley City, and County Agent H. O.
Sauer are conducting three meetings
day and report large audiences and
deep interest. The roads and weather
are excellent, and the speakers expect
to make every meeting on schedule
time.

X. P. NOTES :

Linton Lodge No. II, Knights of
Pythias will celebrate the fifty-seventh
anniversary of the birth of the order
the evening of February 18th, when
they will invite the ladies for a
special good time. How the evening
will be spent is all mystery as it is
in the hands of competent commit
tee who always produce the goods.
Our Pythian Order, not yet three
score years old, cannot boast of his
tory, which antedates the pyramids,
nor can it harken back to antiquity to
attract its adherents. But in prac-
tic service to mankind it has a record
covering fifty-seven years in which its
passionate love of service has given
it mastery over the minds of men.
It has developed an intrinsic frater-
nifty, which has made It's presence in
society q potent factor for the well
fare Of the race.
It is with this conception of our or
der and with the knowledge that dur
ing the last two years there has been
wonderful growth in the member
ship that this lodge will meet to cele-
brate the birthday of the organiza-
tion that has wrought so wonderfully
and SO well and plan anew for greater
glory of service which the Order may
yet perform for the race.
There will be work in the rank of
Page on Thursday, Feb. 10th, and all
members are expected to be present.
Last Thursday evening a class of
five received the rank of Knight, and
afterwards a social time and feed were
enjoyed by those present.
A committee was appointed to look
into the matter of organizing COM
mandery Of the Uniform Rank, and
they expect to report at the next
meeting. There is very little doubt
that this will materialize and Linton
will have Military organization to
be proud Of. The unif f6afm Rank has
an the good points Of the National
Guard, with the bad points left out.

ome interesting proceedings of the

Saturday mroning we were present
at the house committee hearings on
the conditions of state industries and
heard VIM. Lemke request an ad-
journment until Monday to give them
time to decide whether or not to COM
ply with the demand to produce cer-
tain records. The next morning the
Courier News boldly announced that
the committee had gotten cold feet
and wanted to quit. Such a bald
faced lie only tended to speed up the
committee, and Monday they directed
Mr.. Cathro in no uncertain terms
to dig up the records in the Sacndi-
navian bank deals. Cathro spared
for some time, and finally fatty re-
fused to comply with the request.
At that point, the committee passed
a resolution citing Cathro before the
bar of the house for contempt.
Tuesday, instead of going to Jail,
Mr.. Cathro very kindly consented to
let the committee have any records
they wanted.
The league bosses in Bismarck are
standing pat, and trying to hold their
followers in line. The Independents
have their factional feeling also. To
date, however, both sides have been
holding practically solid. There is a
possibility, however, of revolt
! against the leaders in both camps,
with an entirely new alignment result
ing. Many leaguers want to get rid
of the Bank of Northe Dakota and the
home-building business, and substi-
tute real rural-credits bank instead.
On the other hand, many independents
want to see fair trial of the Grand
Forks mill. 1t seems that such per-
sons should be able to meet on some
common ground. And they no doubt
would be able to do so, except for the
bosses.
While in Bismarck, the Record man
was informed that local leaguers are
attempting to get their newspaper
affairs in such shape that they can
get their ex-count manager, Miller,
back here to run the Free Press.
The feel that he would make better
'dynamiter" than Stewart. However,
there are several thousands of dollars
Of Indebtedness against the Free
Press, and it is said that Stewart has
a considerable claim. Indications are
that much of the financing that will
sooner or later be necessary will have
to be borne by Mr.. Lawler, president
of the newspaper corporation and
probably the best-fixed financially of
all those who have signed the notes
to date.
The mess that has been made of
the state industries, and the steady
and consistent effort made by Lemke
and others of the administration to
prevent the public from getting all
the details, has aroused a consider
able sentiment for a recall of several
of the state office-holders, and such
recall will probably take place within
three months.
The legislature itself has been un-
abel to accomplish much. The w.
C. T. U. seems to be the only fac
tor to get results. F. L. Watkins,
of Bismarck, is in charge of the work,
and has shot through a bunch of
stringent regulatory laws. H. B. 81
caused the greatest fireworks in the
house, it prohibiting smoking in din
ing rooms and other similar public
places, and said to be the entering
wedge Of fight to entirely eliminate
the use Of tobacco.

The Record prints herewith list Of
the standing of some of the banks in
North Dakota with the Bank of North
Dakota. One Of the lists we give is
the amount of money belonging to the
Bank Of North Dakota in the closed
banks. The other list refers to the
liabilities of certain favored banks in
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1921-02-10

most one million dollars of public
funds are absolutely tied up in the
thirty-two closed banks. The none y
cannot be withdrawn. Even private
depositors in such banks cannot get
a cent Of their own money out of the
closed banks. There is no way of
knowing at this time how much loss
there will be to the state out of this
bunch of banks. They are guaran-
teed under the guaranty act. But
only certain amount can be collect
ed from the various state banks of the
state each year to make good these
losses. 1t will no doubt require
years to make good on all the closed
banks. Some Of them are hopelessly
short, and some officials have already
been arrested.
Turning to the list of deposits in
banks not closed, there is world of
information. The reason that EN-
mons county warrants are turned
down is explained. These banks are
pets of the nonpartisan league bosses
and the Bank of North Dakota, and
would be ruined if countless and other
subdivisions were allowed to cash their
checks on the Bank of North Dakota.
What would then happen to the ScaE-
dinavian-American State Bank OF
Fargo? 1t has capital and surplus
Of 100000 and total liabilities to the
Bank<of North Dakota of $444, ,127 AZ.
If that amount of money was called
in from the Scandinavian Bank, it
would have to close. It could not
meet the demand. Hence, our state
funds cannot be secured, in this case.
This is the bank concerning about
which, Cathro has chosen Jail for con-
tempt rather than allow the commit
tee to see all the records of the rela-
tions between it and the Bank of
North Dakota.
The Williams County State Bank of
Wi!listcn is the next one in point of
state funds. It has capital and sur
plus and has a liability to the Bank
Of North Dakota of $253,137.s9. 1t is
commonly termed the "league bank" in
Williston. Naturally, withdrawal of
public funds would absolutely close
this institution. :
There is an interesting situation con.
cerning three of the banks listed
above. One Joergen Olson, who is
said to have taken up the Publishers
Service Bureau paper for the league
is president of three of the banks
listed: the American State of Burling-
ton; the Scandinavian-American, of
Van Hook; and the Farmers State,
Of Sanish. The accounts of these
three banks are as follows:

this state. By reading over the list
and comparing the capital and surplus
of the bank with the amount of total
liabilities to the Bank of North Dako-
ia, it is easy to Judge how much
brains have been used in handling the
states finances in the Bank of North
Dakota. Here are the lists:
