lovers throughout the country have
been shocked by Colonial Secretary

It was explained that they are
mainly heavy draft horses for which
there is no local use. and that they
had to be fed on imported fodder
The nearest possible markets are In.

cost Of transportation thence are said
to be prohibitive.

8 Efforts are being made by the
North Dakota w. c. T. U. to have F.

though 1t is understood that Presi-

Similar kilograms are being sent to

State Officials Continue On
Speaking Tours While Bank of
N. D. Sinks Deeper In the Mire

and funds: THE principal Of every
such fund may be increased but shall
never be diminished, and the interest
and income only shall be used. Every
such fund shall be deemed trust
fund held by the state, and, the state
shall make good all losses, thereof"
How Fund is Used.
The interest and income from the
investments of the board are divided
among the schools of the state. The
total investments Of the board of unit
rersity and school lands are: Bonds,
I'll, ,75o, ,206.47; farm loans, $6.e55.-
66s; total, $1S,485.s75.47. The total
income is about $1,5o0. 600 year. Re-
Gently checks for $36S,00o were issued
by the treasurer on the fund derived
from this income and interest. and
also from fines, and the Bank Of
North Dakota is turning down these
checks. Should the bank proceed
to get in deeper than ever and fail
ed in the bank the taxpayers must
make good the deficit.
No System Used.
The Bank OF North Dakota is pay
ing as many warrants and checks as it
can. apparently without any set rule
at this time. An unusual procedure
in state financial history was wit
messed here when a local attorney
went to the Bank of North Dakota
endeavoring to collect cash for q state
check. It is said to be the first time
a lawyer has ever been hired to col.
llect a check issued by the state.

Japah's reply came through the
American embassy in Toxic, which 1t
is understood did not accompany 1t
with any supplementary explanation.
The state department did not make
public the text Of Japan's reply and
officials there. did not comment upon
it. Therefore how far Japan may
have made plain her view in the COM
munication received today is not
known here.
The outward indications are that
Japan will seek to secure in advance
an agreement upon the subjects to be
brought before the conference. The
Japanese viewpoint, as it Is under
stood here unofficially, Is that the dis
armament problem is in itself large
one and that to undertake also the
complex Far Eastern problems would
so enlarge the proceedings as prob
ably to defeat unanimous agreement.
The American viewpoint. however,
so far as it had been outlined. has
been that a disarmament agreement
would have to be predicted on a sue
cessful discussion of the Pacific ques-
ton.
Washington, July 14.-Japan's ac-
ceptance Of President Harding's sug-
gestion that a conference to discuss
limitation Of armament was received
at the state department today, but
made no reference to the question Of
a discussion Of the Far Eastern ques-
ton.

nese government also was received.

from London have created the i'm
preston that Japan would be willing
