CHANGES IN LEAGUE UNLIKELY
Unanimous Vote Of Assembly Neces.
sary for Amendment.

Geneva-All chances for revising
the covenant of the league, making it
less obnoxious to the United States
and thereby influencing America to
Join, were shattered when the judicial
committee decided in a secret report
to the council that a unanimous vote
by assembly was necessary to make
changes in the pact.
1t is believed that this decision will
effectually prevent alterations in the
constitution of the league as IL is re-
garded as impossible to get fifty
states members to vote solidly on a
subject of this Importance.

Shows A Gradual
Improvement

Bismarck, N. D.-The financial
statement of the Bank of North Da-
kota for August 10th shows a steady
Improvement in the condition and
position of the institution. Not only
is it weathering the storm caused by
passage of the l. V. A. initiated laws
in the election last November, but it
is successfully coming thru the period
Of light tax collections and is begin
ming to liquidate it's frozen" funds,
as is shown by real estate mortgages
being recorded with the state treasur-
er.
An outstanding feature of the re-
port is that the amount of registered
checks has been reduced despite the
slack time just before harvest and
with no tax collections, and individ
ual deposits have increased.
The assets of the bank are about
the same as last month, totaling $11,-
1145,356.5s. Public deposits total
slightly over S8,000,OO0 while individ-
ual deposits total s566,2O6.63. A sharp
rise in individual deposits is expected
by the officials of the bank when the
crop money starts to move.
The statement shows that the Bank
of North Dakota has total of ST.
406, 1879 deposited in banks in North
Dakota while only S49,s32.74 is kept
on deposit in correspondent banks out
side the state to take cars of drafts.

Just Our Own Little
Comment

A Danish peasant has just bought
motor car from country lawyer for
the sum of "S40 chickens" That may
be a good trade in Denmark, but we
shall 60 right on with our great ma
tional outdoor sport of buying cars
for chickens" rather than with them -
If the mental attitude of our people
were as encouraging as the material
conditions of our country, we would
soon be on the road to prosperity.
Nothing is really seriously the matter
any longer except the widespread hab-
it of looking at everything pessimis-
tically-and the peeve of some folks
in North Dakota.
Buying bonds in North Dakota
state bands-is like buying something
for nothing if you will compare this
as real investment to some of the
wild cat propositions you have i'm
vested" in-oil stock for instance.
Don't accuse the states attorney of
not doing his duty towards cleaning
up" Devils Lake. Many people have
made complaints-verbally but when
called on to sign a written complaint
they wouldn't come clean with their
John Henrys."
Shall We clean up Devils Lake?
Would you like an expose of the con-
ditions that are breaking down the
morale of our people? Well, make
your complaints to the state attor-
ney or the chief of police or the sher-
iff-but don't be afraid to sign the
complaint, else shut up.
Sure folks, the state engineer is
looking after the Grand Harbor road,
graveling it. Oh! just wait, it will
be fine in time, everything takes time.
Dummed if you do and dummed if
you don't read the down-street
"squeal" for the wiggles Of the dunn
ming.
Being carefree in many respects,
particularly of the howl of itinerant
newspaper writer's and according to
them somewhat penitent, puts US in
frame of mind that surely must be
good-sort Of a cooling off process
you know.

A Couple O'Rhymes
By
Ryley Ryck
ON YIELDING

"France Yields To England Italy,"
A headline boldly spouts;
Great Britain Yields To Ireland"
Another loudly shouts.
"The Turkish Forces Yields To Greek, y
(Which means they're on the run)
"Oficial Yields To Sheriff." and
pedestrian Yields To Gun"
And thus it's worked almost to death
By press and public too;
But there are still some folks, I think
Should practice it, don't you?
For instance, there's my landlord, now
If he should yield to me
And cut my monthly rent in half,
How pleasant that would be.
And then. the men who have for sale
The raiment which wear,
The chocolate sodas I imbibe,
Stuff I rub on my hair
1t always seems that they should yield
And bow before my will,
Then I might often have about
An extra dollar bill.
It's something to yield gracefully
When proven in the wrong,
But, helpless, giving in to force,
That is another song.
might Yield To Right" that is the
line
We all should like to see,
And this would be happy world
Could people so agree.
