MIDDLE WEST BANKERS
TALK NORTH DAKOTA

st. Louis, March 49, - Financial
conditions throughout the middle west
were outlined here today by delegates
at the closing session Of the Tenth an
nual convention of presidents, vice
presidents and secretaries of the Cen
trail States Bankers association.
Numerous bank suspensions recent
ly in North Dakota were caused in
part by the diverting Of public funds,
according to w. c. McFadden, of Far
go, secretary of the North Dakota
Bankers association, who addressed
the conference. The heavy decline
in the price of grain was another fac
tor, he said.
Mr.. McFadden explained that the
new law which created the Bank Of
North Dakota designated it as the de-
pository of all public funds. APP
proximately S3,00O,000 of the public
funds were diverted to investments in
mortgage loans and 100000 for a
mill and elevator, he continued, add
ing this upset the financial and bust
ness structure of the state"

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES



The Normal School is closed during
the present week for the regular Eas-
ter vacation. It will open again on
Tuesday, April 9Th. The Monday pre-
ceding is set aside for the registration
Of new students. All old students
we're registered before the close Of the
winter term, so classes will begin
promptly at 500 o'clock on the morn
ing Of April 9th.
Diplomas were issued to six stu
dents at the end of the Winter Term.
Formal Commencement exercises are
held but once a year in June, but Di-
plomas are issued at the end of any
term to such students as have COM
pleted the curriculum. The POSSIBLE
ity of entering any term and especial
ly the quarter system recently inaug-
urated with the twelve weeks summer
term, will tend to increase the num-
Der of students graduating at other
times of the year than at the end of
the regular school year. Those re-
ceiving diplomas on March rs, 1921,
are rs follows: Advanced Curriculum,
Ruth Lee, Ada, Mimi; Mrs. Sarah j.
Wik, Bottineau; Elementary Curricu-
lum, Edna Anderson, Bonetrail, Mar
ion Fairies, Bottineau, Mary White,
Bowbells, and Ruth Peterson, Ryder.
Mrs. Margaret f. Clifford was the
Assembly speaker, on Monday last.
She told of the work that the Women's
Christian Temperance Union is doing
and gave brief report of a recent
state conference held at Fargo. Mrs.
Clifford spoke of the big program Of
work which this splendid organization
carries on and the need to enlist even
more workers. 1t includes among
other lines helping to enforce the pro-
hibitiou amendment to the constitu-
ton; securing of better type of mo-
tion pictures and suppressing the sug
gestive and vicious ones; and further
ing the welfare of babies and young
children. Mrs. Clifford is a forceful
speaker and interpreted her message
splendidly.
The Faculty Club recently enjoyed
six o'clock dinner together in the cafe
teria of the dormitory. Table decor
atoms were in green and white, with
places marked by dolls in quaint peas
ant costumes of green and white for
twenty-eight faculty members and
"in-laws." The committee in charge
were the Misses Eleanor Bryson,
Grace Nebold and Shirley Amy. They
were assisted in the serving by a
group of Freshman girls. The club
were most kindly remembered by Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Van Fleet with a
generous supply Of shamrock, horse
shoe and other candies appropriate to
st. Patrick's Day. At the close Of the
dinner a composite letter was written
