NORTH DAKOTA DEFlES WALL STREET
VALIANT FIGHT BEGUN AG AINsT MONEY TRUST
SOVEREIGN STATE SEEKING JUSTICE FOR IT'S FARMERS
AND CITY WORKERS

LYNN j. FRAZIER, Governor of
the State.
WILLIAM LEMKE, Attorney
General.
JOHN N. HAGAN, Commissioner
Of Agriculture and Labor.
The industrial program of the State
of North Dakota consists of the fol-
lowing enterprises:
THE BANK Oh NORTH DAKOTA,
q State bank owned and controlled by
the State for the purpose Of promoting
agriculture, commerce and industry.
A STATE TERMINAL ELEVA-
TOR with a capacity of 1,659,500
bushels. II.
A STATE MILL with a capacity Of
1900 barrels Of flour per day.
A RURAL CREDITS PROGRAM
for furnishing cheaper money to farm
| ers. -. E
A HOME BUILDING, PLAN, to
erect homes for industrial workers at
cost on long time payments.
This is not radical program. Many
t.other states have similar state owned
enterprises.
+ To finance these undertakings,
$6,OOO,OOO is needed and with the ac-
tive and earnest cooperation of farm
ers and workers, it should be subscrib-
ed within sixty or ninety days. Farm
ers are especially urged to invest in
the Mill and Elevator series as work
on the big state plant has been sus-
pended because the ,financiers refused
to purchase the bonds. The sooner
these bonds are sold, the sooner will
this great project be carried to COM
pletion.
These bonds are backed by the faith
and credit of the State of North Dako-
ia, with it's population of 650,000 and
81 800 ,O0O, 900 worth of taxable priv
ate property. The state itself owns
property valued at $80,000,00O. In
1920 we raised S225,000,O0 worth Of
crops and animal produe ITS.
I The public is urged to beware of
unauthorized agents. Pay no cash,
but make checks, drafts and money Or
ders. payable only to The Bank of
North Dakota.
Anyone wishing to purchase State
of North Dakota bonds should write
for further information to The Bank
of North Dakota, Bond Department
Bismarck, North Dakota.

Dakota has issued the following stir
ring appeal to the people Of the coun-
try:
To the Liberty-Loving People Of
America:
North Dakota is struggling for
self government and democracy.
In the course Of that struggle the
people Of the sovereign State by, re-
peated referendum vote, by legislative
enactment and with the unanimous. ap-
prevail of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, have established q
state-owned bank, mills and elevators,
a Home Building Association, and en-
acted certain measures for the protec-
tion Of Labor.
To properly finance these laws and
institutions, that State has issued it's
bonds, backed by the faith and credit
Of the entire State. But here we have
encountered the mailed fist of the I'll
nancial autocrats Of America. With an
effrontery unparalleled in our history
they have demanded that we give up
our program as the price we must pay
for their financial support in selling
our bonds. 4
To this astounding demand, our peo-
pie, in whom the blood of. '76 still
surges, have replied: "To the last man.
to. the last dollar, and till the last
field lies fallow-NO! NEVER!. De-
mocracy may perish in America, but
it. shall not be betrayed or delivered
into the hands of the financial barons
by the people of North Dakota. @
So the bankers Of the country will
not handle our bonds. ne
Therefore we turn to you, and to the
people Of the country to acquaint you
with the facts; and to ask you to buy
these bonds Of the State Of North Da-
kota.
We ask no favor, contribution OF
gift. We offer you an opportunity fo1
an investment in human welfare and
progress with both interest and prin-
cipal absolutely guaranteed. And with
this in view we seek your cooperation
to the end that the laws and institu-
tions Of free people may not be over
thrown and the right Of self-govern-
ment and democracy destroyed.
| Yours for the people of North Da-
kota.

Gentlemen:
The greatest need of new state is
more settlers. The time is ripe for
big advertising campaign in the corn
belt where the price Of land puts it
beyond the reach Of people Of moder-
ate means. The young people in these
districts are fully aware of their dis
advantages and are discouraged with
the local outlook Of buying q home'
especially since the prices of products
have dropped back to normal. Thous.
ands Of them must look elsewhere. II
they are told at this time, where Land
lis within their reach and that land is
sufficiently productive to enable them
to pay for it, they will consider it.
No form Of advertising or practical
immigration work is as effective as
that originating from the citizens. We
have in mind the story Of the "Satis-'
fled Customer who tells others. It
is necessary that railroads and states
maintain immigration departments TO
gather and distribute facts describing
OPPORTUNITIES and resources OF their
respective regions. But to make these
institutions effective, there must be q
human equation in them and they
must have, the moral backing OF the
average citizen. We say this in view
.of our observation and experience.
4 Railroads have, done much to stiml-
late immigration into new districts
and will hammer away as heretofore.
This spring they have put on home
seekers rates and have enlarged their
development and agricultural depart
.ments. They think they can do much
more effective work if your state thru
its immigration Department. its Com
nercial Clubs, Farmers Clubs, Bank
ers Association and other public or
semi.public organizations would unite
On q common purpose and lend = hands
10 this end we think you al can work
and that the many effective things
done III the past can be dup plicated
now. Your commercial and rotary
clubs have sent ont Representatives
into other states; your county com
missioners, taking advantage Of 2 law
permitting them % do %, have pub
lished booklets and have had films m
made n rome cases.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The cast is working very hard on
the Senior Play, "A Prairie Rose,
which will be presented on Monday
evening May 23rd, at the Grand The
atre. This is rough and ready west
ern play, made up Of eleven characters
of various types. :
The Prairie Rose is a veritable
child Of nature she has been allowed
to grow up in her own way, "Just like
weed" At heart she is sweet and
pure and true and has most decided
ideas as to right and wrong. Her deaf
uncle, who has ''brung her up" is ex-
tremely rough on the surface but a
most lovable character. Rose falls in
love with a young doctor, a Doctor
Raymond, who with some companions
is camping near her Uncle's ranch.
Later learning that he is divorced
man and because of religious scruples
she breaks her engagement. Roses
lost father returns very wealthy and
she is transformed into charming
young lady Of culture. The story ends
happily for all except poor FIR. Feath-
erhead who has spent four year re-
hearsing a guaranteed proposal only
to be refused, "beastly luck" The cash
of characters will appear next week.
The silverware was purchased by
the Home Economics Glass. It includes
one and one half dozen each Of knives,
forks and tea spoons. This, together
with the dishes already purchased this
year adds greatly to the value Of the
equipment of that department.
The festivities of the Commence
ment season opened last Friday eve
ming with the Annual Junior-Senior
Banquet and Dancing party given in
honor to the Seniors. At seven-thirty
the guests were seated at the long
banquet tables in the Gymnasium
where they were served by girls from
the Freshman and Sophomoe classes.
Merle McBain was the Master of
Ceremonies and many Of the students
and members of the Faculty respond
ed.
After the banquet the guests were
taken to Wanner's Hall where the re-
mainder of the evening was spent in
dancing.
The great success of this event was
due largely to the untiring work OF
the Junior Glass and their sponsor,
Miss Young. Of special mention was
work of the following chairmen Of the
various committees
