CLOSING LOANS
AT FAST RATE
Farm Loan Department of Bank
Gains Momentum

If the Bank of North Dakota is able
to close loans on the present basis
the total amount Of loans will mount
into; millions by midsummer. 1t was
announced that $25,0OO was paid out
to borrowers Saturday and $4,000
yesterday, and it is expected that a
half million dollars will be paid out
during the month of May.
Difficulty of closing loans after ap-
praisals are made has caused some
difficulty. The fact that farmers liv-
ins a considerable distance from
towns have been unable to get their
papers in shape after the application
and sappraisals have been made has
held up many loans, but with the
roads in good shape now this diff
Guilty will be removed.
Loan appraisals now exceed $4,000
900. it is said.
George W. Jandan, of Mandan, has
accepted employment in the depart
ment in charge of the closing section.

Devils Lake, N. D., April 25.-James
Kallais, who was trying to get away
from posse after he had shot his
wife and two babies here last eve
ming, was killed by Great Northern
passenger train No. 1, in the local
yards last night
Mrs. Kallias died few minutes aft
er being brought to a local hospital
and the children are in precarious
condition from two bullet holes each
in the head.
The shooting occurred in the Kali
lias' home about&9 last evening. Jeal-
ousy is said to have been the cause.
Mrs. Kallias 11-year-old brother was
with her when the quarrel started
but he left as Kallias started to shoot.
The woman was shot five times,
the fatal wound being just under
the left ear where the jugular vein
was severed. She bledto death. One
more more bullet hole is in her head,
the others in various parts OF the
body. At the police station it was said
hat the shooting had been done with
As caliber revolver.
There were NO eyewitnesses to the
shooting but indications are that
after shooting his wife once or twice
he turned the weapon on the little
children, one and a half and three
years. old respectively, and fired two
bullets into their heads. Then he fired
at the prostrate body OF his wife
again.
The shooting soon attracted a
crowd but Kallias had already disap-
peared. Someone had seen him run to-
wards the railroad yards, and posse
took up the pursuit. In about an hour
and a half the mangled body OF a
man was found on the railroad tracks.
Investigation, revealed Kallias had
been killed. The body was severed al
the hips.

RULE OUTLINED
FOR RDELINQUENT
TAX PENALTIES
Tax Commissioner Converse Is.
sues Letter Covering the
Subject

Stating a uniform practice in the
matter of assessing penalties to de-
linquent personal property taxes, Tax
commissioner G. G. Converse has is
sued the following statement to coun-
ty treasurers:
"The recent inquiry developed the
fact that, in over two thirds of the
counties, the practice Is to add five
per cent to delinquent personal prop
erty taxes paid after March first and
before April first. In the remain
ing counties, the practice is tosadd six
Per cent. This lack Of uniformity Is
not surprising In view OF the wording
Of tho statute Attorneys differ as to
which practice is more nearly in har-
mony with the intent Of the statute.
1T is, however, desirable to have
a uniform practice throughout the
state. In my judgment, the prefer
able rule, all things considered, is to
add only five per cent during the en-
tire month of March.
1T may be of interest to mention
another point regarding which q rul-
ing has been asked, and that is as to
wnen the penalty attaches. 1t would
seem that the penalty attaches to per-
sonal property taxes not paid before
Mar. first. Sec. 2166, Compiled Laws,
1918. On the other hand, it is quito
clear, under the wording of Chapter
81 of the laws of the Special Session
OF 1919, that the penalty does not at
tach to the first half of real estate
taxes IL paid before March second
nor to the second half II paid before
October sixteenth"

WILLARD
FARMERSSTAND
ON ''P00LING''
t.... .....
Farmer Who Sells His Products
AS They Are Needed, Does
Not Fix Prices

Fargo, N. D., April 25.-The farmer
who pools his products and sells them
as they are needed is not fixing prices,
as is sometimes charged, according to
Rex Willard, farm management ex-
pert of the North Dakota Agricultural
College. He is only arranging for the
most economical distribution and
that is to avoid dumping the whole
crop into the market at once, says Mr..
Willard. He has prepared 9 graph to
show ths relation between Cutting
the potato market and the price as 1t
affects North and South Dakota and
Minnesota.
Last September goth the price of
potatoes ranged from $2.1O to $500
per hundred pounds" said Mr.. Will
lard. "In the five following days three
states shipped nearly 1000 carloads.
This broke the market and the prices
came down fifty cents per hundred
weight: At the end of the period the
average price was $3.50.
"Then until October 25th potatoes
went into the market at the rate of 500
to 800 carloads day and forced the
price down still more. This ended
the tremendous influx into the market
but it took all of November before
this amount of potatoes could be dis
tributed and meanwhile the price
went to about $1.40. @i
During December while the farm
ers were marketing only about 40 or
so carloads a day the price advanced
again and by December 81 was back to
$780,"
Michigan and Wisconsin have
learned the lesson that dumping crops
on the market. means loss for the
farmer, Mr.. Willard added. He quoted
the following figures to prove the
statement:
North Dakota marketed 44.6 per cent
of her potato crop in the September l
to December 81 period; South Dakota
marketed 40.6 per cent; Minnesota
36.5. Michigan, on the other hand
marketed only 1919 per cent and Wis
consin 1913 per cent in that period.
