AMERICAN FARM BUREAU NEWS
Committee of IL Reports


The Farmers Grain Marketing Com
mittee of Seventeen on February 10th
voted unanimously to recommend to
the farmers of America a grain-mar-
keting plan based essentially on the
incorporation of a grain growers CO.
operative National Sales Agency. 1t
is proposed to incorporate the Nation
al Sales Agency in the form of a nom
stock, non-profit, grain-growers' CO.
operative membership organization
which will provide for the marketing
of grain by virtue of contracts with
farmers cooperative elevators or with
local grain-growers' cooperative as
sociations.
Under this plan nearly all cooper
ative machinery now in use will fit
into the new plan which includes Ter
minal Agencies, Warehouse Corpora
tions, Export Corporations and Serv-
ice Departments, all under one head
and owned and controlled by the grain
growers themselves through their To-
cal, state and national organizations.
Ample provision is made to take
care of every detail of the grain mar
keting process and the plans are elas-
tic enough to be made applicable to
any section of the U. S.
A lot of work is yet to be done by
the Committee of IT in working out

COLORADO STATE
FARM BUREA U
100 Per Cent Membership Necessary

J
The necessity of 100 per cent mem
bership campaign in Colorado is ap-
parent from the results so far obtain
ed where the campaign has already
and every personal interview where
the Importance of the Farm Bureau
work has been properly shown the re-
suit has been almost 100 per cent men,
bership. In places where the mem
bership has fallen below 100 per cent
very far, it is almost invariably due
to the fact that the Farm Bureau was
not properly understood. These in
proof all the more positive.
The communities in which the Farm
Bureau work has been more strongly
developed and in which the farmers
have had good opportunity to know
just what it means from observation
and actual experiences, are the COM
munities that have gone practically
100 per cent. We can therefore as
sume that the judgment of these men
is safe enough to rely upon. If the
Farm Bureau was not n necessity, 1t
would not have the unqualified en-
dorsement of SO great number of
thinking men.
Whenever the membership in any
county falls below so per cent there
is something wrong. The cause should
be asecrtained ut once and a remedy
applied if possible. If the situation
is properly analysed, solution can
almost invariably be worked out that
will strengthen the Farm Bureau work
in that community by Increasing its
membership.

banks of the state have succeeded in
reducing their loans considerably since
the first of the year, and that more
healthful relation now exists between
loans and deposits than existed when
the latest reports were made to the
comptroller of the currency. Most of
the farming districts have begun to
reduce their loans very materially be-
fore the end of December and the re-
port as a whole shows but little evi-
dence of over-extension of loans among
the banks of the farming communities.
Seventeen of the farming counties in
the state showed decreases in loans
during the period covered, while the
remainder showed increases. Only
seven farming counties showed in
creases in deposits during the period.
Denver, Pueblo and FL Paso counties
all showed considerable decreases in
deposits and slight increases in loans.

On the state board of health, John
son will succeed Lemke as ex-officio
president.
Control of the pool hall inspection
department which has been valu-
able political institution for the
league in that it has been the vehicle
for carrying large number of
leaguers on the payroll who have de-
voted almost all their attention to
politics, passes from Mr.. Lemke to
Sveinbjorn Johnson as this depart
ment is under the supervision of the
attorney general.
Likewise control of the motor
vehicle registration department shifts
from the leaguers to the independents
for the reason that the registrar of
the department is subject to appoint
ment by the governor.
The Independents also are in posi-
ton to take complete control of the
tax department, for the reason that
the commissioner of that department
although appointed for term of six
years holds office wholly at the option
of the governor, who has the power to
appoint a new commissioner at any
time he so desires.
The state hail department is also
likely to pass to the independents
for the reason that the head of the de-
partment is appointed by the insur-
ance commissioner, subject to the ap-
proval of the governor.

R0TARIANS HAVE
GREAT FR0LIC

One of the best parties ever pulled
off in Valley City was that one last
night when, the Valley City Rotary
Club played the role of host to the
jamestown Rotary Club, the party
being held in the Elks Home. Many
Rotarians from jamestown braved the
elements and autoed to the city, some
of them remaining over night. The
program started with very fine tur-
key banquet served by Rudolf Gesel-
Jus and his force very nicely and COM
pletely about six o'clock or little
after. The Clark orchestra furnished
very excellent music during the pro-
gress of the banquet. At the con-
clusion of the "eats" talk and song
fest followed with short addresses
from members of both clubs. Then
came the real fun of the evening. In
the first place the rooms and banquet
hall had been very lastly decorated
with Halloween colors and at the ban
quet plates Halloween favors had
been placed for the guests. The deco
rating committee had made most
complete and thorough job of it and
this part added greatly to the success
of the occasion. Then the committee
on amusements must be given a big
share of praise for the fine entertain
ment afforded. There was a regular
midway on the third floor of the
building, with booths of every descrip-
ton with bankers making the night
hideous with their raucous cries to at
tract attention. There was the rou-
lette wheel in full operation and
gambling seemed to have the backing
of the police officers who winked at
this display of wickedness. One of the
real attractions was the midway beau
ties, bunch of dancing girls nicely
dressed to represent real midway
vaudeville company, and their dancing
and singing was the hit of the eve
ming. There was the regular "three
throws for dime" at nigger's head
and in fact it was the real thing with
a brass band to blare and fill the air
full of noise. There was a kangaroo
court in which culprits were led up in
front of the Judge and fined some RI
diculcus thing which made it amusing.
This part of the program was the best
thing we have seen and created much
merriment. After this the booths
were removed and the orchestra fur
nishcd some excellent music for
dancing which was enjoyed until
about midnight. Prior to adjournment
another light luncheon was served.
TIE Jamestown guests were greatly
pleased at the evenings entertainment
and went back home pleased that they
came. Without giving anyone special
credit we want to say that every COM
nl;ttee, every member Joined in heart
ily to make the party success and we
want to say that it was a success in
every particular. It was we'll planned
and we'll carried out and to those who
bore the brunt Of the work we want
to say "well done.'

LEADS RED CROSS

Red Cross membership enrolment
in the coming Roll Call which opens on
November 11-Armistice Day-and
continues, until Thanksgiving, Novem-
Der 81, will be in charge of Mr.. Oar
by O'Malley Of Barnes County chep-
ter. Acceptance of this important
post has just been sent to Chicago
headquarters of the Central Division
Of which this is a part.
Local support of the Red Cross is
expected not only to reach but surpass
that Of this year, since the organiza-
ton is not only equipped to function
in community work. here, but is called
upon to act in national emergencies
and disasters. The recent calls upon
the Red Cross in the Pueblo and San
Antonio floods as we'll as the obliga-
t;cns it is still discharging toward
disabled ex-service men, place the re-
S ,cnsibility for these humanitarian
undertakings upon the shoulders of
dollar"
During the past month, the number
Of new soldier cases needing care and
treatment have been brought to pub
lie attention and through the work of
the "Clean Up" Squads a realization
of the Importance Of work the Red
Cross is doing for service men, the
country over has been increasingly
manifest. That more than $10,000,000
has been expended in this work by
the national organization within the
year proves the need for it's continued
support.
Under the new arrangement all
funds remain with the local chapter
fer support of its present activities
with the exception of fifty cents from
each annual, contributing or sustain
ing membership. These funds go to
disaster relief. soldier work
and other projects.

JAMESTOWN
DEFEATS v. {.

In hard fought battle at James
town yesterday afternoon the local
high school met defeat at the hands
of the Jamestown boys by score OF
IL to 0.
The game is said by those present,
to have been one of the finest games
of football played on the jamestown
gridiron this season. According to
the dope the locals outplayed the
Jamestown boys in every stage Of the
game but were unable to cross their
opponents goal line. Four forward
passes which were said to have been
completed were brought back to the
passing point when the official ruled
someone was off side and the ball was
taken back. jamestown scored on the
visitors twice but failed to kick goal
both times making the final score IL
to 0 in favor of Jamestown.
Although the jamestown boys did
not run up as large score on the To-
Gals as did Fargo week ago when
the locals seemed to fall to pieces, it
is said jamestown has Fargo bested
and will be strong contenders for the
state championship.

small fee to be used for athletic pur-
poses.
3-That small orchestra be pro-
vided for the dansants.
4-That the sale of athletic tickets
be put into the hands Of the students
instead of being sold at the book store
until the winter term.
5-That school be held on Monday:
December 10, so that the students may
be dismissed Thursday, December %:
instead Of Friday, December %, thus
giving them sufficient time to reach
home for Christmas.

MAN, WOMAN
AND MARRIAGE

The suberb acting of Dorothy Phil
lips in "Man, Woman, Marriege," AL
len Holubar's famous Associated First
National production, at the Grand
Friday and Saturday, has placed Miss
worlds best cinema stars that there
is little doubt that fandom will accord
her tribute as the screens greatest
dramatic actress.
Until the advent of Miss Phillips in
independent productions movie fans
have been prone to classify the screen
stars for some particular type of act
ing. One has excelled in emotion, an
other in comedy and others along var
ious histronic lines, but the sublime
work of dainty Dorothy Phillips in a
picture Astounding with dramatic stu
ations of all classifications has placed
her in class which embraces all the
finer points accorded to her screen sis
tiers.
Those who have watched the artistic
growth of this star have realized that
it was always in the stories of Allen
Holubar and under his direction that
she has excelled. In "The Heart of
Humanity" Miss Phillips first con-
WINGED the movie going public that she
was on the road to superlative star
dom. In "The Right to Happiness"
she took advantage of each situation
to display her great ability as an act
ress, but it was not until she was fur
nished with a vehicle Of still greater
possibilities that she reached the peak
of screen art.

FORMER STUDENT
PASSES IN DEATH

We are herewith recording the death
of Mr.. Lawrence w. Chingren, stu
dent here during the spring quarter
and some time before the United
States became involved in the World
War. We quote from the letter of
his mother, Mrs. John Bell, of Hazen.
"When he (Lawrence) left there
Estate Teachers College) in June for
his treatment at Bismarck he fully in
tended to return to school. But his
health would not permit and he re-
manned in the hospital at Bismarck
until in August and then was sent to
the Asbury Hospital at Minneapolis
and passed away at that place the first
of September"
Mr.. Chingren was soldier and saw
service in France where he received a
wound of rather serious character it
appears. His friends at the State
Teachers College will regret his un-
timely passing at the beginning of his
young life.

PACKING To
BE FORECL0SED

The greater part of the property
in West Fargo, few years ago the
boom town Of the Equity Cooperative
Packing company, will be sold under
execution sale on Dec. 3, to satisfy
Judgment of $56,75420, entered in
the Cass county district court this
week.
The date of the execution sale was
announced this morning by Fred
Kraemer, sheriff of Cass county, who
is taking action at the request of
Louis Altenbernd, of Sabin, Mimi,
director in the corporation, and in
whose favor judgment and decree
were entered against the packSng
company on Oct. rs.
Twenty-four houses, once the homes
of the employees who worked in the
plant, which has been closed for
about a year ago, the hotel and 1924
acres of land, will be sold.
These houses sprang up like magic
following the completion of the big
plant and the employment that it Of
fered for several hundred persons.
The sale does not cover the build
ing housing the administrative offices
and packing department of the cor
poration.
II was forced to take this action to
protect my personal credit" declared
Mr.. Altenbernd in a state ment made
to The Forum this afternoon. He
said that he had nothing more to say.
On June 10, 1920, Louis Altenbernd
made loan of $4,000 to the Equity
Cooperative Packing company, at a
time when the institution was bad
ly in need of financial backing.
Altenbernd, it is understood, mort
gagged his farms and real estate in
Minnesota to raise the amount
needed by the corporation and took
a mortgage on the houses, hotel and
some of the real estate.
The amount of Judgment entered
in the district court represents the
value of his loan and the acruing in
terest.
Institution of mortgage fore
closure proceedings brought no answer
from the directors and the other Of
ficials of the plant with the result
that the judgment was proved by
default, when the action came be-
fore Judge A. T. Cole of the Cass
county district court. -.
It was said this afternoon that the
Equity Cooperative Packing COM
pany is. not likely to redeem the
property because of the financial con-
dit;on Of the corporation, and that
the sale which has been set for 2
p. m. Saturday, Dec. 8, at the front
door Of the Cass county courthouse:
is not likely to- realize enough to sat
isfy the full claim Of judgment.

MAKES ADDRESS ON
MANS CAPACITIES

A weei: ago yesterday (Friday) the
members of the Barnes County lnsti-
tute and the faculty and students of
the State Teachers College enjoyed
the short talk given by DR.. R. A.
Beard of the Congregational Church
of Fargo. He has the rare ability to
make very vivid the thoughts he
wished to impress upon his audience.
He Immediately began the subject
upon which he wished to talk, making
the introduction very short. The two
points on which his discussion was
based were first, what is man? and
second, the teacher must understand
man. He said that man is the only
being capable of enlargement. That
his very power and capacity may be
extended. He laid considerable stress
on the point that mans faculties never
reach the place where they can not be
advanced; that the more one stores in
the memory in an orderly and logical
way the more knowledge one will be
able to store.
Then he spoke on the second point,
after making comparison which was
helpful in enabling the members Of
his audience to get vivid impression
of what he continued to say. Mr..
Beard said that man is the only being
who has a conscience and that this
conscience whispers to him telling him
which is the right thing to do. He
firmly believes that all people are bet
ter than they appear and that that is
just where the opportunity is offered
each teacher to help bring out the
good things in each individual. In
closing he said that each teacher
should take advantage of these posi-
bilities and help build character of
worth.
Man is the only animal being whose
moral nature is such that it is capable
of expansion into larger and larger
possibilities. In short, man is the
paragon of all animals.

SELL" NORTH DAKOTA

For the next few months, one OF the
consistent aims Of loyal North Dako-
tans, should be to "sell" North Dakota
to the rest of the United States, using
"sell" in the sense in which advertising
men use it.
Now that the cause of the unfavor-
able opinion of US is removed, we must
set about removing that unfavorable
opinion. :,
AS a matter of fact, no state in the
union is fundamentally sounder than
is North Dakota. We have been
sound state with a bankrupt govern
ment, and unfortunately for u.s.. eco
nomic conditions have been confused
with political conditions.
The big factor in North Dakota's
favor, of course. is that it escaped the
land boom and is not stuff ering from
any collapse of land prices. How SER
ious that land boom proved, is shown
by the situation in Iowa and southern
Minnesota. Land that was worth
3 5000 an acre scared to $4OO an acre.
Bankers too often loaned money on
the inflated values and with the col
lapse of the boom they find their
equity simply wiped out. They are
fortunate if they do not lose heavily
in addition.
North Dakota has no such condition
with which to contend. The political
disturbances kept settlers and invest
ors out of the state, and land prices
now are just where they were five
years ago.
That is what the rest Of the United
States must learn, and if we want to
re-establish our credit it is up to US
to preach the fundamental soundness
Of North Dakota interminably. The
credit of the state government is but
a minor consideration in comparison
The state needs but a few millions to
pay it's debts and get our state gov
eminent functioning again. The inn
portant part is the confidence Of indl-
vidual investors who for years have
been sending money to this state to
profit by the higher interest rates al
ways paid in young community
Eastern investors have kept millions
and hundreds of millions of dollars in
this state for investment purposes. 1t
has been in farm mortgages, farm
paper of all kinds, and even IN &c.
D.'s". For the last year or two that
money has been pouring out OF the
state at steady and rapid rate. JUST
