by the Cass county grand jury in con-
nection with activities of the defunct
Scandinavian American bank Of Far

Three indictments charge Lemke
with embezzlement of $216,378 in con-
nection with the alleged transfer of
funds from the Bank of North Dakota
to the Fargo bank; two others charge
two similar transfers of $4,000 each
and the sixth Indictment charges him
with making false reports to the state
banking department.
Mr. Totten said this evening that
he would plead not guilty to the two
forgery of the name of o. A. Keldar,
treasurer of the league state execu-
tive committee, and expressing his
belief that the trial would establish
his innocence.
The indictments against Mr.. Chris
tenson are based on charges that he
made two false reports to the state
bank examiner at various dates,
showing greater loans and discounts
than the bank actually had.

A diametrically opposite theory

From a different angle it is sug-

matter of the personal equation-and
this is by far the sanest view, COM

Approximately everybody reads more

for pleasure and pleasure simply
that so many hard workers take to
desultory reading. until with few
of them it becomes a stimulant
