In these trying times when the
legislature is wrestling the financial
problem, Mr.. Townley is conspicuous
by his absence from Bismarck. Two
years ago he stated in speech at
Pembina that the bonding limit Of
the state should be the sky. It seems
that it took only two years for Mr.
Townley's financial balloon to reach
the. limit. At that meeting a lot Of
followers sat on the platform and
among the audience and CLAIMED
their hands at the financial wizards
remarks. We were satisfied that a
day OF reckoning would come soon
hut we hardly looked for it to reach
us as soon as it did.

draws $4,000 a year salary and

long before there would be nothing
left for salaries. There are two

The Bank Of North Dakota seems
to be having hard time TO define
between what checks or county or
ders drawn on it should be paid
and not paid. The latitude given
the management, through the crea-
tion of the bank seems to be unlim-
tied according to the court. They
can honor a3check or county order
or not to suit themselves. It seems
to be created on the order of "heads
win, tails you lose" If they see
fit to pay, well and good, but if they
don't they don't have to.

Many state organizations in the
capitol are working upon plans for
the coming Inaugural Parade. Ok
,lahoma has already promised huge
homo delegation composed Of cow
boys, Indians, millionaire oil men
and other representative classes Of
the state and It Is predicted that
other states will furnish, equally
picturesque delegations for the big
parade. State troops have been
promised by Ohio and Massachusetts
in honor Of the favorite sons, Har-
ding and Coolidge, and other states
will also furnish militia organize
tions in addition to representatives
Of the American Legion and other
veterans organisations.
Plans under consideration by the
North Dakota State Association are
still holding fire: in anticipation of
advices awaited from the state auth
critics relative to the proper finan-
cling Of the undertaking. A special
committee has taken up the matter
Of funds with Governor Frazier and
with George Remission Of the Bis
marck Commercial Club and action
by the organization will be held up
until they are heard from. It is be-
lieved that several hundred North
Dakotans will be on hand to march
under the banners of the state if
the necessary funds required for
equipment are made available.
The lumber to be used in con-
structing the stands in front of the
Capitol has already been delivered
and work will be begun on them i'm
mediately.

riers Of disease by conveying harmful
bacteria or parasites. It is possible
for an egg to become infected with mi
cro-organisms either before or, more
especially, after it is laid, since the
porous shell offers no great resistance
to micro-organisms, including those
Which cause it to spoil or rot. If an
egg is eaten raw or only slightly
cooked, micro-organisms, If present,
can be communicated to man, and may
cause disease If they are of the harm
full kind.
Sources Of Infection.
If an egg remains in dirty nest,
for example, defiled with typhoid fe-
YER micro organisms carried there on
the hens feet or feathers, it is not,
strange If some of these bacteria occa-
sionally penetrate the shell, and the
egg thus becomes possible source
of infection. Perhaps one of the most
common troubles due to bacterial in
fection. Of eggs is the more or less Sc
rious illness sometimes caused by eat
ing eggs that are stale. This. often
called ptomaine poisoning, is more
correctly styled food poisoning, and is
caused by micro organisms that ere
commonly associated with filth, food
SPECIALISTS of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture say.
Cleanliness ls Essential.
Judged by the comparatively small
number Of cases Of infection or poi
soning due to eggs reported in medh
cal literature, the danger Of disease
from this source is not very great.
However, in view of this possibility,
1t is best TO keep eggs as clean as pos
sible and thus endeavor to prevent in
fection. Clean poultry houses, poul-
try runs and nests are important.
Eggs should always be stored and mar
keted under sanitary conditions. The
subject Of handling food in cleanly
manner is too seldom thought Of, and
what is said Of eggs in this connection
applies to many other foods with even
more force. Since it is not wise to
wash eggs that are to be kept, only
clean ones should be selected for this
purpose. Always, when eggs are used,
the shells should be carefully cleaned
just before they are broken, otherwise
any dirt on the outside may find its
way into the food.

THE COUNTY BOARD
CHECKS ROAD COST

The board Of county commission
ers are in session this week and the
old board is cleaning up the busi-
ness Of the past year before the
new board takes hold of the county
business. The board is passing on
the bills sent in and are also con,-
pilingS Some figures on the cost Of
the county road work.
On June 21, 1920, the state high
way commission submitted to the
board Of county! commissioners a
preliminary estimate of the cost of
constructing 22 miles Of state high
way, known as project number IL at
Langdon. According to the esti-
mate made by the state commission
this work would cost $1O1,64O. One
item in this estimate was for S9,24O
for engineering and contingent ex-
pense. This proposition did not ap-
peal to the county board at all and
they declined to accept the proposals
of the, state highway commission.
The county then undertook the
work on it's own account, employed
man to superintend the work, used
the. county road making machinery,
hired teams and mer and finally
paid the bills. The work that they
undertook covered 27 miles and all
is practically completed except two
miles Of the original project. The
two miles to complete are easy to
construct and the cost will be- below
the averages
They have had the county auditor
figure up every bill paid in connec-
tion with the. work., including the
cost of culverts, engine hire, men
and teams, oil, gas, repairs, etc.,
and find that the total cost Of the
work done is just $21,022.34, or an
average cost Of l$84O.S1 per mile.
Three miles of this road through.
lake beds was dump wagon work
and cost three times as much as or
dinary work.
This is far below the cost estima-
ted by the state highway commits
sion and is only a little more than
double their estimate for blue prints
and engineering. Members Of the
board have been in other counties
where the state officials have charge
OF the work and they declare that
the roads built here are the equal Of
any dirt roads they have seen built
by the state.
The county board has done the
work at about one fifth Of the cost
estimated by the state and If they
have built roads approximately as
good, there is something radically
wrong with the way the state hirh-
way commission is handling the
business. Il
While the past season was favor
able for grading up the sloughs it
was decidedly bad for some work, as
the dirt could not be packed and the
roads finished BY settling and sur
facing.
The commissioners are greatly
displeased with the action Of the
state highway commission in getting
