Hen.y is an g. vowed friend af tEe prot osed 14ta Amendment U the Arkansas Consti- tuition, 1t occurred to ne, that poss bi, Mr. Y.ngiing favored sid Am n9.- ment.
 Knowing that Mr.Henry is employ cd by the County Board of Educa- tion, of wich body C. E. Yingling is Chairman, l think it is proper to pre- sume, that Mr Heasy's policies ans actions if net prescribed by said Board, are ratified " sid Board and Chairman, for he iz the employee os the Board of Education.

 I, Ira c. HcpPc@, Secretary Of State of the State of Arkansas, and with whom was filed the petitions for the submission of pro- osed Amend ment No. Ii to the Constitution of the State of Arkansas, do hereby ce:- tify that 1 have examined sad peti- tions and find that on Sheet No. g Lre No. I9, appears the following:
 "C, E. Yingling, no W. Center St., Searcy, Ward g."
 In testimony whereof, have he~ unto set my hand and seal of office this the 18th day of July, 1922.
 Ira C. Hopper, CState Seal) Secretary of State. The writer hereof did not sign sai petition and does not favorthe adop- tion of the proposed Amendment No. f4.
 M. Brooks Norfleet, Jr. oppose ii for the reason that it takes off all limit to the taxes which may be iev- jed for Poll Taxes. This is a can gerous provis oa as it might result  in poll tax so high that many peo- pie could not vote.
 Said amendment provides an un- limited "School Tax" Let's not gc into the school business like our state went into the Road Business, short time past.We want good schools, but before changing the tax laws of our State, Stop-Look-Listen.
 If 1 am nominated for the office of Prosecuting Attorney, I will exert whatever influence I may have to see that Amendment No. II does not car ry.
 Yours respectfully,

SCHOOL LOANS NEGLECTED
IS CHARGE MADE

That men who have received the
benefits of the small interest charge
allowed by the state law have not
"toted square" with the state in pay
ing that interest and in meeting their
obligations was made public in a state
ment by Gov. r. A. Nestos as head of
the Board of University and School
Lands. An investigation, conducted
by representatives of the board dis
closes that many of the men, in ar
rears as much as thirteen years are
wealthy, that they are not farmers
but professional men, bankers and
men who have for years drawn large
salaries.
1.-The needs of large number of
school districts have been so great
and the amount of money coming in
has been so small that the present
board Of University and School lands
decided this fall to make an investi-
cation as to whether those. who were
holding contracts for school lands, and
also those who had borrowed money
from the school funds at per cent,
had played fair with the state and
made whatever payments possible
from the earnings of the land" de-
clared the governor, "or whether,
shamefully neglecting to discharge
their obligations to the state, they
have instead invested the money
where they could get more than per
cent interest for it.
THE investigation SO far has re-
vealed all astounding situation. There
are some four hundred contracts for
school lands where the purchasers
are in arrears from six to thirteen
years in the payment Of installments
on the principal. Fifty-sevcn are in
arrears Of ten years or more in the
payment of interest. Nor are all of
these farmers, by any means: among
the delinquents there are state and
national banks, business and profes-
sional men, and men who are now and
have for years been drawing large
salaries; many Of them are not even
residents Of the state at the present
time. The investigation Of the board
<ffs.s also revealed that in many of
these cases splendid crops have been
raised during more than half of the
years of delinquency, and in many
cases the contract holders have dcriv-
ed large profits from these school
lands but have not paid a cent on
their contracts, leaving the school
which are the owners Of these lands
to suffer for lack of buildings because
Of the seltishness and perversity of
these contract holders"
The board announced recently that
steps to collect the arrearages would
Be taken and foreclosures made in
numerous cases.

With President Harding recon-
mending constitutional amendment
to give the federal congress authority
over child labor, a new and strict child
labor law for North Dakota is pro-
posed by The North Dakota Children's
Code Commission and bill viii be in
troduced in the legislature next month
The first section reads:
"No child under fourteen years Of
age shall be employed, permitted on
suffered to work in or in connections
with any factory, workshop, mercan-
tile establishment, store, business Of
nee, telegraph office, resta urant, hotel,
apartment house or in the distribu--
tion or transmission of merchandise
or messages. 1t shall be unlawful
for any person, firm or corporation
to employ any child under Ia years
of age in any business or service
whatever, during any part of the term
during which the public schools of the.
district in which the child resides are
in session.
,, The bill further provides that chil-
dren between IA and 16 years shall
be employed under certain restrictions
| and when employment certificates
have been secured by the children. A
long list Of occupations are forbidde,t
to these minors. Except at domestic
OF farm labor such children shall not
! work more than 4S hours or six days
in any one week, nor more than eight
hours a day nor between : D. M anf.
7 a. m.
The Workmen's Compensation Bur
eau Of the state would be charged
with the administration Of the new
law. Penalty for violation of the law
would be fine Of from $40 to $50
for each Offense.
Another important bill drafted by
the Children's Code commission pro-
vides that all children over sever.
years of age must be sent to the
schools of their localities the full term
each year until the child has con1plet-
ed the eighth grade or reached the age.
of Is years. Defective children
such as blind, deaf, feeb1e-minded--
must be sent to the special institutions
provided for such when they are be-
tween seven and 81 years unless spe-
cially excused. This is notable
change from the present law which.
makes school attendance compulsory
between and II years without regard
to grade attained, in the case Of nor
NAL children.

Three Minot Lads Spent $1,000 Mo
tOring to California

Harry and Albert Butenschocn and
Jesse Anderson left Minot on Oct. 80,
in an auto bound for California. Writ
ing to the Independent concerning
their trip they say:
"Our first experience was in travel
ing thru 1000 miles Of mud, axle deep
with rain and snow all the way. We
found very little paved road until we
reached the state of California. We
camped alongside Of straw piles till
we landed in the mountains, then we
camped right among them. We had a
complete cooking outfit and cooked
our own meals. We lived mostly on
spuds, bread and hot dogs. By being
quick, we had few fryers and a few
cottontails, which we hunted among
the sage brush. In Colorado Springs
we took to the hotel as we could find
no straw stack.
Found everything fair in price un-
til we struck New Mexico where we
had to pay 40 cents for a gallon of
gas. We had to drive thru New Mex
leo on account of snow in the noun
tains Had 800 mile stretch where
we saw no live stock or houses. Some
IL
bowling wolves and mountain lions.
No one wanted to pop his head out so
we decided to hunt them in the day
time. Chased rattle snakes, but did
not catch any, but fought with cactus
instead. Spent three dollars worth
of cartridges and got two rabbits. We
met Indians and they didn't look as
bad as we feared. We travelled about
1000 miles from Minot to Lemoore,
Calf. Thru Arizona and New Mexico
we saw nothing but mountains, des-
erts and houses made Of clay. After
passing thru the deserts, we landed
among tho orange groves which GER
tainly looked good to us. We spent
$4S.O0 for gas and our meals came to
$26.15. Had but one blowout. Start
ed off with two new tires and three
old ones. 1t was a very cheap, but
worth while trip. We arrived at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Stukaloff
of Lemoore, Calf, on Nov. %, and
found them in the best Of health. The
latter is a sister of the Butenschoen
brothers. Mr.. Stukaloff is much in
terested in growing alfalfa. He had
400 tons of alfalfa hay for the last
season, six cuttings without irriga-
tion. Also had over 200 tons of grain
hay. Hay sells for S14 to $50 ton
to the hay buyers. j
Before leaving Minot, we had a
good feed of turkeys, for some folks
tried to frighten us by telling US that
we would not get job in California.
We were offered $50 month and
feed the next day after we got here.
1t looks to us now as tho we might
remain here for the next so years"

representing the former and present
directorates of the Equity Cooperative
Packing Company of Fargo did not
reach an agreement yesterday regard
ing the Sill, 900 damage suit brought
against the former board by the COM

reach a basis for settlement and that
indications were that settlement
would be reached later. The old board
it was said today, made no proposals
to the new board yesterday.

erect frame Darn, NfSL Unit IN an
L-shape, located north of the race
track and facing it, the arrangement
being in the form Of connected series
of rooted box stalls, as many being
erected as the racing committee deems
necessary. 1t is believed such build
ing will serve we'll for some time and
that, when later replaced. the lumber
can be used to advantage in other con-
Struction.
A concrete floor is planned to be
laid on the ground floor of the Exhibi-
ton building, the earth and gravel

GENTLY settled. This new floor will
eliminate dust and greatly improve
the handsome building.
Sewage disposal facilitates from

quate this year, because OF the fact
that the cesspool and pump pit failed
to carry off the drainage, owing to
the nature of the ground, a sewer line
from the pits to the river to carry off
excess water is believed necessary and
is included in the committees recon-
mendations.
An additional deep well is also rec
commended as larger water supply is
declared necessary.
The committees plans also include
planting of some trees and shrubbery,
Identification Of the grounds thru
parking and leveling and general
increasing Of the sightliness of the
fair site.
/ The fair dates have not yet been
!! set as the Grand Forks and Fargo
dates are still undecided and the plan
is to hold the Ward county fair either
just before or just after the two east
ern fairs. The prevailing sentiment
at Tuesdays meeting seemed to be in
favor of the earlier dates. Grand
Forks contemplates having its fair the
week of July l and the Ward county
fair may be held the week of July 4
in consequence. No decisions have
been made as vet, however.
The fair board is expected to meet
again early in the new year to act
upon building plans and make other
preparations for the second fair. 1t
is felt by all the board members that
the 1928 fair will show noteworthy
progress and that the continued CO.
operation Of the city Of Minot with
Ward county and it's neighbors will
combine to make an exposition that
will attract attention all over the
northwest.
With the alloting of state aid the
fair at Minot would become a regional
fair for large district of the state.
The name would be changed, it is un-
derstood, and that of The Northwest
Fair at Minot has been proposed.
