Henry Gets the Money,
But the Bees Disappear

There is no more profitable
business than raising bees.
Ten years ago in Washington
there was 1857 pounds of honey
raised in the District Of Colum-
bia. Last year there was pro-
duced but ais pounds. In the
United States in the ten years
there was an increase Of only
per cent IN the production of
honey in ten years.
Now you know why honey
costs so much.
Bees sting. This is their only
method of defense. They don't
sting everybody, only those they
think are their enemies.
But because of this sting peo-
pie are afraid Of them and PRE-
fer to get stung by the high
price Of honey rather than the
sting of the honey bee.

One BILLION
FOR FARM RELIEF

"The one billion dollars appropriate
ed by congress to the War Finance
Corporation to be reloaned through
the Cooperative Agricultural Asso-
Citations and local banks is now avail
able, the local banks having received
recently the application forms and are
now in position to make loans," H. B.
Fuller, secretary of the North Dako-
ia Farm Bureau Federation. 1T is
the belief of the Farm Bureau" add
ed Mr.. Fuller, "that this money will
prove of the greatest benefit to the
farmers Of North Dakota" The bill
creating this fund originated in the
office Of the American Farm Fureau
Federation in Chicago and was taken
to Washington to Carl Vrooman who
was then working for the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
Mr.. Fuller states that the method
Of procedure would be for the local
bank to make application through the
War Finance Committee, of which E..
J. Weiser, president of the First Ma
tional Bank of Fargo, is chairman of
the North Dakota Committee, and
when the application is accompanied
by the proper farm paper as security:
it will be allowed by the committee
and passed on to- the War Finance
Corporation who will loan the money
direct to the bank. This money is
avainable for farm loans only. Ev-
cry farmer who is now being crowded
for payment of his loan and is unable
to meet them, should see his local
banker and make his renewals from
these funds.

MARKED ADVANCE
HOSPITAL SERVICE

Hospital service to the patient in
North Dakota has shown marked adj
vance in the past year, according to
the third annual report of the Ameri-
can College of Surgeons released here
today. This report is based on sur
vey which included personal visits to
every hospital of one hundred beds or
over in the United States and Canada
The following North Dakota institu-
tons were given a place on the ZAP
proved list: E
Bismarck Evangelical Deaconess
Hospital, Bismarck.
*Grand Forks Deaconness Hospital
Grand Forks.
St. Alexius Hospital, Bismarck.
St. Johns Hospital, Fargo.
St. Luke's Hospital, Fargo.
The asterisk indicates hospitals
which have instituted measures which
insure scientific care to their patients
but which have not realized them to
the fullest extent to date.
'The institutions above proved that
they are giving the best Of scientific
medical care to their PATIENTS" de-
clared DR.. Franklin H. Martin, secre-
tary-general of the American College
of Surgeons. "Aided by one of the
great educational foundations, we have
carried on actual visits to hospitals:
made by trained medical men, who see
working conditions as they are. Our
report for 1921 shows a marked i'm
provement in hospital service the
country over, and places North Dako-
ia in the forefront Of states who are
active in medical progress. North
Dakota is to be congratulated on it's
splendid showing and on the forward
looking medical men, hospital superin-
tendents, and trustees who have made
this advance possible"

BRlN1'0N SHOWS UP
INNER WORKINGS

Notwithstanding that DR.. Ship
stead, the Minneapolis dentist, and the
league leaders here tried to stem the
tide of people who wanted to hear ).
w. Brinton last night, between 3OO
and 400 people preferred and wanted
to pay an admission fee to get the
truth about things in preference to
going to hear Shipstead who charged
no admission, and for three and a half
hours sat and listened intently to
severe arraignment of the present
state administration and the way it
had grated the people of this state
and spent recklessly and criminally
the peoples money-that is the way
Brinton put it-and he had the docu-
ments to prove every charge he made
and he further made the statement
that some of them should be in the
penitentiary. Over twice as many
paid admission fee to hear Brinton as
went to hear Shipstead. This shows
some interest we think. Mr.. Brinton
by proven testimony showed how the
nresent manager of the Bank of North
Dakota had deposited between five
and eleven million dollars of state
money in banks outside. Of the state
loaning it at per cent when the state
could have received four and perhaps
more, losing to the taxpayers large
sums in interest. There was at the
time Mr.. Brinton called Frazier's at
tention to it two and one-half millions
in the First National Bank Of Mime
apolis, two and half in the First Ma
tional Bank of St. Paul, owned by
twelve men, and one million in the
Midland National bank of Minneapo-
lis, owned by the Russell-Miller Mill
ing Company, and said most OF the
owners were members Of the Cham
Der of Commerce and then the state
administration told the farmers that
the Bank of North Dakota would be a
bank for the people and their speak
ers are going around yelling "big biz"
is trying to put them out Of business.
Mr.. Brinton shows up how many of
the league leaders had secured loans
on rotten security and some banks in
which league leaders were interested
and which we're practically insolvent
were loaned vast sums Of money. He
showed up how our old time friend and
fellow citizen, Bill Olson, having the
interests of the dear people at heart:
gave his note for an interest in that
sisal trust which now owns 22,4OO
acres of land in Florida and paid for
with the peoples money, and which
note was now safely nesting in the
archives of the bank at Bismarck and
which note will have to be paid if
Nestos is elected. That is why Bill
is sitting up nights shedding tears Of
agony at the wrongs inflicted upon his
fellow farmers and why Mr.. Shipstead
was brought here last night to keep
leaguers away from seeing the official
documents Of their guilt. Mr.. Brinton

SHOW PICTURES TO
COLLEGE FACULTY

Last Saturday evening the commod-

of the College faculty who had been
invited to share in the hospitality Of
host and hostess. Z
The entertainment was wholly that
Of the most famous moving pictures
seen on the screen today. Moreover
the most renowned "stars" of the
present day were to be seen in dupli-
cate. The entrance to the moving pic
ture theatre was placarded in a way
to make the 'movie fans" fully ex-
pectant of what was to follow. Tick
cts were sold and the purchasers as
signed to certain sections of the house.
There was a Pathe Weekly in which
were shown the most important events
of today and facts leading up to COM
ing events such, for example, as the
Disarmament Conference in Washing
ton, hunting large game, the school
for profanity, and the like.
Three real <'reels" were shown each
consisting of several scenes which held
the spectators with profound atten-
ton. The first consisted of an up-to-
date Interpretation of "Main Street"
The second was a modern view of
'Longfellow's "The Courtship of
Miles Standish" and the third was
the play, civilian Tell" The cast
in each case was made up of the fac
ulty members who had been judicious-
ly assigned according to talent. It is
matter of comment even at this late
date how "well' each screen favorite
did his or her part. We must not for
ret the orchestra which was led by
that master of conductors. Registrar
c. A. Lee. The dreamy enticing mel
odies that reached every corner of the
theater (and then some) had not a
little to do with keeping the picture
guests in that state of mind so essen
tial for a proper understanding of
what is presented to the eve. During
the performance beautiful young la
dies passed through the theater sell
ing popcorn and fine quality Of lem
onade, all home made. These helped
largely in providing strength to en-
dure film after film.
After the close of the show all
guests were invited to remain to meet
the ssstars." Everyone did so grac-
iously. At this time the theater own
ers, President and Mrs. Allen, sur
prised the guests with splendid re-
freshments consisting of brick ice
cream, cake, coffee, and waters. These
provided a fitting climar for an eve
ming of wholesome fun.
