was advanced to the presidency,
which position he has held contin-

Organized Capital, $4,000.
The original incorporators OF
Dodge Manufacturing CO. were Wal
lace II. Dodge. Will w. Dodge and
Elizabeth Dodge. their mother. The
original capitalization was $4,000.
At the time Mr.. Mix became presi-
dent the capital stock had been in
creased to $25O.OO0 and the total re-
sources were less than One-half mil
lion dollars. on Dec. 81, 1921 its
resources exceeded 100000. For
several years Mr.. Mix has labored
under the combined responsibility OF
directing these various companies.
Following the strenuous years Of the
war during which he made possible
a 95 percent cooperation with the
government in producing war mate
rails, Mr.. Mix has been continuously
faced by the advice OF his physician
that the vitality which had support
ed his earlier efforts could not now
support him in a similar endeavor
However, the exacting period OF re-
construction which followed die
tated that the generalship which
had directed the building Of the
/ Dodge organization from a mere
handful OF men TO thousands OF
workers should continue until the
opportunity might present itself
whereby the company affairs had
been brought 10 a point whore his
retirement would not disturb the
future efforts Of the organization.
The approaching expiration OF the
state charter OF the Dodge Manu-
featuring CO. and the occasion for
the reorganization which would pro-
vide for the complete merger Of the
subsidiary companies presented the
opportunity sought and Mr.. Mix de
cIded IN favor Of retirement as
against a continuation OF the ex'en-
sive executive activities that would
become necessary in the new organ
ization.

LETTER
By PARKER LA MOORE

Talk of the June primaries has
seemed the chief topic of interest
among the visitors from the North
west this week. No one advances a
cleancut prediction as to just what
the alignments will be but all SEEM
ed agreed that. another battle royal
was in prospect next year. That the
Nonpartisan League must be consid-
it is held that to eliminate the organ
ization that for the past six years has
held sway in the state, despite their
Reputation in November, would rem
der any speculation futile. Just
where the Leaguers will be, however.
when the roll is called in June no
one seems certain. They may be in
the field again with a straight ticket.
And they may adhere to recently
avowed policy of certain of their lead
ers and merely "endorse candidates..
The first course would be according
to Hoyle but it would require an ex-
tensive and expensive rehabilitation
process. Their powerful machine has
lost several cogs since the last gen.
eral test, when they were fortunate
to achieve halfway victory. Some
of their newspapers have missed fire
and fallen by the wayside; many han
dy henchmen have passed on to seek
payrolls elsewhere; and reports in
dictate countless breaches between
erstwhile bosses. To follow the 9TH
err alternative might be to the per-
sonal advantage of some of the
leaders. But such deals are usual
ly on a c. O. D.. basis and some peo-
pie might question the meaning of
trailing in byways.

the past year from April to Octo-
Der. It is believed that similar
reduction will be made generally if
the demand justifies such a course.
The Reason

A colored preacher in Alabama was
one day talking to one of his aged
Pensioners, who ventured to express
the opinion that ministers ought to be
better paid. "I'se sho' glad to hear
70 say dat" responded the parson
warmly. "I'se pleased dat yo' think
so much Of de ministers. So yo'
think we'd ought to get bigger sal
aries?' "aSho' does," said the old
man. "Den we'd get q better class
o. men,"

Lawrence river project are gathering
in Washington, preparatory to launch
ing a drive for the enactment of the
necessary legislation at the present
session. j. Adam Bede, Of Pine City,
Minnesota, is already on the job at
ter an extended tour of the middle
and northwestern states. He reports
great interest among the farmers in
the project, and states that sentiment
is alive to the Importance of the un-
dertaking all over the country. The
opposition of New York City inter-
ests, according to Mr.. Bede, is the
result of immature judgment. He
states that the cheap power which will
be afforded the Empire state through
the construction of the canal and dams
is bound to win favor with the peo-
pie there once they realize just what
is contemplated.
Cheap home-seekers rates may be
granted by the railroads this sum-
mer, according to Congressman
Young, who has had the matter be-
mission. Mr.. j. S. Milloy, secretary
of the Minot Association of Com
merce, recently called attention to the
desirability Of securing special home
seekers rates in order to give the
people of other states an opportunity
to examine and avail themselves of
the bargains in farm lands now Of
fered in the state.
In reply to Young's request the
Commission has announced that it
will call the attention Of the rail-
roads to the demand, and it is con-
sidered probable that such q request

to the fact that the Great Northern
