BE REAL MENACE TO
MORTON COUNTY

Mandan, N. D., May 17.-"One
farmer, Henry Rix, living seven miles
south of Mandan, says he lost $1,000
worth Of pigs and hogs and 5000
worth Of poultry last year because of
the onslaughts of magpies," said o
McGrath, Glenn Uuen, state game
warden, when here on business.
"Mr. Rix reports to me the loss of a
large number of young pigs which
were picked at by the magpies until
they died and then the magpies in
swarms ate. them. They nearly kill
ed one of my best brood sows too,'
Mr.. Rix told me-" said Mr.. McGrath.
The game warden is urging the
organization of gun clubs for the
purpose of eradicating the crows and
magpies and cites the loss as one
reason why action is imperative.

ARE SOLD -AT
GOOD PREMIUM

Bismarck, N. D., May 1.-THE
State Industrial Commission after
lengthy consideration of bids received
for the state industry bonds, decided
to accept the bid. of the Minnesota

Company offered 101 for per cent
bank bonds and 108 for 1-2 per cent
mill and elevator bonds and received
an option on additional mill and ele-
vator bonds at the same price. This

conditions considered, the highest bid
submitted.
Action was reserved by the Indus
trial Commission on bids presented for
$4,000, 900 farm loan bonds of the
Bank of North Dakota.
The bids received from finincial
houses of New York, Cincinnati, To-
ledo and Minneapolis, five bids in all,

the successful bidder.
The joint bid submitted by r. G.
Grant and Company, New York, and
L. r. Ballinger and Company, Gin
cinnati, was conditional with the state
ment that if there was any change in
the North Dakota state administra-
ton which in the opinion Of the bond

Renville County Funds
Tied Up in Closed Bank

Mohall, N. D., May 17.-Renville
county has quite large sum of mon
ey on deposit in the Mohall State
bank, now closed, and there is a ques-
ton whether or not it is protected by
the state guaranty fund law because
the money was placed in the bank at
6 per cent interest payable in advance
selni-annually. This is held by some
to be more than a 6 per cent rate, and
therefore more than, the guar anty
fund law allowed, and protected. Our
States attorney, Judge Crew, has
looked up many court decisions cover
ing this point, and he has found many
that hold in terest or rent collected
in advance not to constitute usury
or higher rate than the rate given.
It is law point that will perhaps go
to our supreme court before it isset-
tied.

anonymous letter received about two
weeks ago, that he leave the country

PRODUCE VALUE

Bismarck, N. D., May 17.-North
Dakota had $368, O55,889 in farm pro-
ducts in 1919. OF this, the value Of
farm crops was placed at 1901, 1884,
9S5. Livestock products represented
$30,777,931 and animals sold and
slaughtered, were placed at $34,900,-
900. Forest products were represent
ed by $206,316 and nursery and green
house products at $186,705.
In the total value of crops North
Dakota is not far below New York
Pennsylvania and Michigan and is far
in advnce of Virginia with 1922, O00,-
900, and even with Kentucky, Alaba-
ma and Mississippi, the values Of the
latter two states being held down by
the low prices of cotton at that time.
just following the close of the war.
The crop value of North Dakota was
twice that Of Louisiana, Washington
and Oregon, Louisiana also suffering
from the cotton prices but being aid
ed by the sugar prices.
In livestock products, the state does
not show as we'll, the 30,000,O00, here
being compared to Virginia with
$50, 100000, and Arkansas with
$30,O00,000 and Oregon with $36,000,-
600.
In livestock sold and slaughtered
also the state does not compare as
well as it does in value of crops most
of the states being so far in advance
that the $S5,00,000 Of North Dakota
can be compared with $4,000, 900 for
West Virginia, $46,O00,O0O, for Mon
tana, $30,000,000 for Idaho and
other states, even the states not con-
s;dered as grazing states are far in
excess Of these totals, Iowa with her
| mammoth production of hogs leading
with $420,000,000.
In the amount of forest products,
North Dakota has its place with the
| other states of the treeless prairies
OF the central west, South Dakota and
Neb1as having about the same fig
ures. The other states with low fig
ures are Wyoming, Utah, Arizona and
Nevada. Kansas makes a surprising
showing for a prairie state with a
million and half of forest products

ENRAGED BULL
GOERS FARMER

Drake, N. D., May Hummer
Bedner, farmer near Aylmer, was
leading a bull last week, when the an
imal suddenly attacked him, one horn
terring the front of his leg distance
of or 10 inches. The force Of the
onslaught knocked him down, and the
bull tramped pretty much all over his
anatomy. Whereupon Mr.. Bedner be-
gan to "holler" and succeeded in maxi
ing noise enough to scare the animal
away. DR.. G. H. Coffin was called, and
it is believed he will recover.

Minot, N. D., May 17.-Preliminary
work on the paving contracts held by
Hanlin & Okes, Of Minneapolis, was
begun here Saturday. Approximately
1888 square yards of bitulithic
paving along designated portions of
three minot streets probably will be

The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1922-01-05

The total for this state was 1,713.4
miles at an average cost Of $40 ,219.33
a mile. Roads listed, however, include
all the paved highways and others on
which costly betterments were made,
so the average will not apply to Min
nesota road costs in general.
Texas tops the list with 2,485.7 miles
of federal aid roads built in the 5-year
period covered by the report. Iowa is
listed with 1902 miles, North OAK
ota $685., Wisconsin 1851, Montana
;68O.3 and South Dakota 676.7 miles.
The government gave $6,947 ,973.63
toward the total cost of ST. ,509,911 of
the Minnesota roads enumerated. En-
gineers estimate that, under the Bab-
cock plan, by which automobile owners
of the three large cities contribute
more than 40 per cent of the tax funds,
Minnesota farmers are paying less
than half the cost of improving and
maintaining the primary road system
in the state.
The bulletin adds that since July l.,
1916, total Of 28,315 miles of roads
have been built at cost of $496, 151,-
683.43. Cost averages are $8,115 a
mile for graded and drained high
ways, $3.50 for sand clay, SIC, 400 for
gravel, $5O,360 for concrete and $780,
$40 for brick. Minnesota costs were
lower on the average, even during the
war period.

Potato Quotations Advance Ten Cents

The Princeton potato market has
taken on triffle more activity so far
as shipments are concerned, but the
movement from the growers to the
warehouses is slow, due partly to the
deterrent effects of the weather.
With the exception of Ohios and
Russets prices here have advanced

Something like 10 cars of potatoes
have been shipped from Princeton dur
ing the week, but this, while an i'm

will involve, says the president Of the
road, Ralph Budd, an expenditure Of
a million dollars. In addition the COM

at cost of about 5000.

'tthe rebuilding Of passenger coaches

money elsewhere, but it was thought
desirable under the present conditions
to keep our own men busy and spend
the money in our own communities. -

a discussion of art.
Mrs. E. K. Evens, the chairman of
the art committee, read a most inter-

was made all the more interesting by
being illustrated by pictures of artis-

viewed on her recent trip through Eu-

President Harding's selection Of Pen
rose as the republican standard bearer
was largely influenced by the Pennsyl-
vanian's proficiency in the art Of
strategy.
Senator Penrose was born in Phila-
delphia on November l, 1860. He was
educated in the schools of that city
and was graduated from Harvard in
1881. He was admitted to the bar in
1883. His entrance to the Pennsyls
vania legislature was in 1884, and af-
ter serving two years as assemblyman
he was elected state senator and was
president pro TEN. In 1887 he was
elected to the United States senate to
succeed ]. Donald Cameron and was
reelected successfully in 1908, 1909,
1914 and 1920.
Senator P. J. McCumber will sue
coed Penrose as acting chairman and
probably as chairman of the senate
finance committee. il -.

that in clash in that city between
Italian and American sailors on Mon
day last several Of our boys were
