CLOSED \. OAK.
BANKS MAY REOPEN

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 19.-With
strong prospect of IL closed banks
in the state reopening before spring,
the Guaranty Fund commission
sees rift of light IN the financial
situation in this state. Impending
changes by the new state admins
tration, and development Of a de-
cidedly be4+nr feeling toward North
Dakota in outside financial circles
are also sources of encouragement
to the commission, which has just
closed session here to consider af.
fairs of the closed banks.
Operations of the War Finance
corporation, which by 10 n / 6
money as freely as possible, has
prevented forced liquidation of
many accounts, are having a good
effect all around, officials say. Were
1t not for the help of this loan
agency, not few farmers would
have been closed out. A more lib
eral bond market. too, has enabled
counties to dispose of bonds at good
prices. 4....~ "2s.

FIND SCORPIONS
IN L|CN|1E MINE

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 19.-"S "Scorp-
ions in North Dakota! Shades Of
the tropical SUM" exclaimed DR..
r. L. Webster, entomologist, North
Dakota Experiment station, as he
opened a small box sent to the
Agricultural college from Alexand-
er, N. D., and discovered three spid-
er-like animals that had been found
in a Ignite mine 20 miles southeast
OF. Alexander, and had been sent to
the Agricultural college for identi-
fication as to species. The scorpion
ordinarily is found only in tropical
or semi-tropical climates, and these
are the first ever found in North
Dakota, as far as records can be
found. Their sting is poisonous.
The scorpions are or the species
Uroctous Mordax Thor, of the Paci-
fic coast and Central America, and
were brought to the Mckenzie coun-
ty mine on timber used in the work
ings, in the opinion of DR.. H. E..
Ewing Of the United States National
Museum at Washington, friend of
DR.. Webster, to whom the latter
sent the specimens for more definite
Identification. -
The sting of the scorpion is poi
sonous, altho it is seldom if ever
fatal to man. The three specimens
sent to the college were about an
inch and a half long. The posterior
half of the abdomen appears like a
slender tail, which generally is
curled over the back. There are
four pairs of walking legs, and in
front pair Of limbs bearing large
pinchers. The scorpion is common
ly found in the southern portion of
the United States, but not in the
northern.
Carl Turnquist of Alexander brot
the scorpions to P. c.. Arildson of
the same place, who identified them
as scorpions, and sent them to the
college. DR.. Webster has asked
Mr.. Arildson to inquire as to the
origin of the lumber used in the
mine.

TO PAY
BUREAUS BILL
, Il
- II

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 18.-Pay-
ment OF, a workmen q compensation
bureau check to the supply depart
ment offered In payment for sup
plies furnished, has Deen refused by
State Treasurer John Steen, on the
grounds that such check had not
been audited by the, state auditing
board. 1t is expected that court
action will be taken and the deci-
sion Of a court secured on the dis
Duted point of whether the work
mems compensation bureau can pay
direct or must have the approval of
the state auditing board. 81
Many believe that a construction
favorable to State Treasurer Stems
contention might mean that a short
way is being tried out for the pay
ment of l.. j. Wehe's claims for
salary. Others again contend that
Mr.. Wehe's claims are already in
court and must abide by the courts
decision as to their merits or other
wise.

SALARIES PAID BY
BANK OF \. OAK.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 1a.--Con-
siderable satisfaction is being ex-
pressed over the recent accommo-
dation of short loan from the
Bank of North Dakota to the
board Of administration for the pur-
pose of meeting the teachers De-
cember pay roll, which is now in
course Of being paid. Supporters
of the Frazier regime see in this
move an actual demonstration at
the hands of their friends, the
enemy, of the useful part which
the state bank is taking in financ-
ing the states affairs, a claim
which was always maintained by
members OF the League.
In the meantime other credit
ors of the institutions are inquiring
why they are left out in the cold.
Heretofore they also have been ac-
commodated in the same manner as
We're the teachers and are hoping
that the banks usefulness may
again be demonstrated, this time
to their benefit.

$4,000 LIMIT FOR
!. n. D. FARM LOANS

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 18.--Acting
ON the advice of Manager Wilbert
B. Default of the Farm Loan de-
partment of the Bank of North Da-
hota the Industrial Commission has
adopted a resolution making $4,000
the limit loaned to any one borrower
from the states ruraI credit system.
The smallest loan limit is $4,000.
This decision knocks out 201 ap-
plications already on fine asking
for loans to the amount of $2,-
680,3O0 and saves that sum for
the use among smaller land hold
ers. The last administration had
approved twenty-eight of these
loans aggregating $337,5O0. .,
Another decision by the Indus
trial Commission, also taken at the
recommendation of Manager De-
Nault, prohibits the Ioaning of
state farm loan money to land own
ers not actually living on their
farms and cultivating them them
selves. This saves enother $780,
900, on the applications received,
for actual farmers. =

HORSES KILLED By
SPOILED tNsuAGE

Spoiled ensilage killed nine draft
horses on the farm of Ole Brink
near Horace, Cass county, according
to Dr.. J. w. Dunham, veterinarian.
Answering a call to the Brink
farm. DR.. Durham reported today
that he found five of the animals
dead and that four more died in
the afternoon, their deaths wipine
out all the work horses on the
farm with the exception o. three
aged animals.
DR.. Dunham said they were the
first cases Of the kind that he had
been called to deal with, and after
making an investigation learned
that ensilage which was exposed tC
the air during the recent warm spell
and which had become mouldy, was
the cause. He sa-d mouldy ensil-
age will work as fast as ptomaine
poisoning.
Spoiled ensilage does not affect
cattle as much as it does horses and
sheep" said DR.. Dunham, ''sheep
being more susceptible than horses
Cattle on the Brink farm had eaten
the same spoiled ensilage. a few
were sick, but recovered. Spoiled
ensilage will kill a horse or sheep
within six or eight hours
DR.. Dunham stated that farmers
should be careful and not allow
their ensilage to become exposed
durinr mild weather and become
mouldy.

tatoes at Berthold for the past six
Years and has made good money
on them every year, in most years
more money on his potato patch
than on all the rest OF his farm put
together. He is contributing his
time to these meetings because he

enthusiast on the subject. He has
ia fund OF practical information on
potato growing and marketing that

Don't waste any sympathy on the
circus children. They wouldn't appre-
c.ate it. To the circuS-Eoing public
there usually is something appealing
about the youngsters who spend then
early years with the white tops" The
general belief is that it must be a hard
life for the little ones.
Those familiar with the circus voice
an opinion just the opposite and they
are in a position to know.
AL. G. Barnes circus which comes to
Topeka, Wednesday, June Is. has sew
eral Riddles around and they are the
happiest youngsters in the country
From the superintendent down to the
most 1owiy of pony boys and canvass
men there is p degree of interest
shown in the circus juveniles that is
not found in any other walk of life.
Instead of being "mothered" exclu-
sively by their natural parents the
circus baby from infancy is shared by
the feminine contingent of the or
ganizatiOn and instead of one recog-
.nized father, the youngster is adopted
by every male on the show.
Every day is filled with interesting
