F. o. Hellstrom Chairman of the
Burleigh County Central Committee,
and Democratic leader in this state,
has issued call to all local democrats
to refuse to fuse with the I. V. A.
machine in the attempt to defeat the
League in the coming Primary. In his
call Mr.. Hellstrom says:
TO THE VOTERS-I see that some
one claims to have delivered the dem
ocratic party into the care and GUS
tody of committee Of forty five COM
posed of fifteen Republicans, fifteen
Democrats and fifteen I. v. A.
We are not very certain what a
Republican is, Webster's Dictionary
doesn't define who or what an I ".

who created this new animal, which
is supposed to be one third elephant
and one third donkey and one third

species of animals if fruitful produces
"a hybrid; barren of progeny
b. We presume the hybrid third Of this
political sphinx assumes to be the
head and Judging from the fact that
democrats are advised TO register as
Republicans and give up the ghost,
no doubt the donkey is doomed to play
the part of tail to this kind of politi-
cal monster. ~ p ! : 50 =, rs

TO ALL PERSONS INTERESTED
In THE GRAIN TRADE

/, In an opinion handed down March
18, 1922 by the Attorney General, to
is stated that the effect of the de-
cision of the Supreme Court of the
United States in the case of Embden
Farmers Elevator Company VS.. Lem
Ike, ct al is to completely wipe out the
so called Grain Grading Act of 1919
and the Act of 1917, Of which the Act
of 1919 is reenactment, is also wiped
out and made void by the same decis.
ion, together with the decision of the
Circuit Court of Appeals. which still
stands as law in this Jurisdiction
Therefore the jurisdiction over ware.
houses is reinvested and restored in
the Board Of Railroad Commissioners
as such jurisdiction existed prior te
the enactment of the Grain Standard
Act Of 1917 and that Of 1919.
Acting upon this opinion, the Com.
mission has arranged for moving the
files of the Grain Accountant, etc

PROCEEDS OF LEAGUE MADE
BOND SALE USED TO PAY OFF
MILL AND ELEVATOR LOAN TO
BANK OF NORTH DAKOTA.

The New Industrial Commission
took the first step it has taken toward
carrying out the program, this week,
when it consented to use more than
one million dollars, the proceeds of a
portion of bond sales made just before
the League Administration retired
from office to pay the Bank of North
Dakota for money advanced to the
Mill and Elevator Association, to be-
gin work on the Grand Forks Mill.
The Industrial Commission could
have repaid this loan, Immediately af-
ter they came into office, had they
been disposed to do SO, however, they
preferred to use the mill and elevator
association as means of disseminat-
ing adverse propaganda against the
League, pointing to the fact that the
Association owed the Bank Of N. d.
one million dollars, and failing, of
course, to state that the League adj
ministration, on the eve Of retiring
from office had placed in the hands
of the new administration millions
Of dollars in bond sales, with which
4 to fully finance the entire program.
Whether Governor Nestos will make
show Of beginning work on the Mill
before the primaries !, is doubtful, it
may be that political expediency will
force him to do this, but If SO, it is
certain that only q minimum Of eff
fort will be expended, and that will
cease Immediately after the Primar-
les. II sesss -@s%S &, s2 515. 4
The Bank Of N. D. now reports il
self in excellent condition, following
the payment of the loan, but admits
It is not making many farm loans
giving as a reason that the farmers
are slow to come into their local
banks, and close up the deals. Farm
loans are now, it seems, to be consu-
1 mated thru the local bankers.
No report of the number Of actual
loans made is available, but it is evi-
dent that not more than a very few
have been made by the new admins.
\ tration. Under the system Of appor-
tionnlent adopted by the Bank, there
y are several counties which will receive
no loans whatever, the Industrial
Commission claiming they have al.
ready overdrawn their apportionment
Most of these counties are in TIKI
western part Of the state.

THEAMERf. an PRESS CSOCiAII(iN
And The Government Pays

The excitement in congress oc-
casioned by Senator News daring
experiment in addressing his In
diana constituents over the gov
ernnent radio needs no explana-
ton. 1t is clear at once even to
the most obtuse of legislators
that Senator New has hit on
something of infinite POSSIBLE
ties. The great difficulty a Con-
gresham faces is the necessity
OF explaining to interested voters
things he does not want to. eX-
plain. A congressman would be
a very happy man if he could go
back home and hold his public dis
course to fairly modest estimate
of his own public worth; that
angry and determined constitu-
'ents should ask him, if a Senator,
how he voted on the Newberry
seat, or, if a representative, how
he stands on the bonus, is, to say
the least, annoying.
At this point in comes the ra-
do. Senator New points the way
to a campaign millennium, where
the candidate does all the talking.
He says, by implication. Here's
a good one! Let radio do it. No
hall rent, no cigars, no hecklers-
you don't have to explain any
thing, and the government pays
for it."

Jimmy Murphy Tells His
Experience With DEMPSEY

Jimmy Murphy, southern
lightweight champion and for
merry Dempsey's sparring part
ndr, now playing here with the
United States Exposition Shows
tells the following!i, story con
corning Jack Denapsey's first
connection with Jack Kearns, his
present manager: 7
Some years ago Jack Kearns
had a stable of boxers over in
Australia. Among Others in his
stalls were Joe Bonds, the hea-
vyweight, and Red Watson, a
lightweight.
The latter was tho apple Of
Kearn's eye, 1t was while Red
was boxing Jack Dempsey in an
Oakland gymnasium that the
attention of Kearns was first di-
rected to the future champion of
the world. Kearns had Watson
boxing Fred Mccoy one hot day
down in the land of the kanea-
roo. Red was tubby around the
waist and in poor condition.
Fred was a tall 1critter with a
reachy left hand and he kept
spearing Red and running away.
Red numbered after him, but af-
ter the second round he was out
of breath and galloped up and
down like a tired horse. The
nimble Mccoy kept we'll ahead
of him, stabbing with his left.
Get in there and ketch him, "
bawled Kearns from the corner.
keep after him. Finally Red
stopped and looked at Kearns
Say" he said, when he comes
around your way, you head him
off, will you?'
When Dempsey Met Bonds
Joe Bonds, a tough heavy
weight in his day, was one of
Jack Dempsey's early opponents.
They fought a ten round draw
at little town in Nevada along
in 1916. Bonds was just back
from his trip to Australia with
Kearns and was still under his
management, but he undertook
the trip to Nevada alone. Demp-
sey was unknown at the time,
while Bonds had something of a
reputation.
"4e got on the same train
with me along the line" says
Dempsey. 81 knew who he was
