Riverdale Club Enrolls

The Riverdale boys and girls club
is the first to complete its enrolment
for 1922 with total of % members.
This is the largest enrolment from
one rural community that has ever
been made during the period that club
work has been carried on in Dickey
county. -
The enrollments are as follows:
Potato 6, garden 8, corn 6, sewing s,
poultry 2, pigs 2, baby beef /, sheep /.
Riverdale boys and girls are a pep
py bunch and are setting the pace for
the rest Of the clubs. They are plan
ming regular meetings for the year,
which will also include picnics and
parties, and if arrangements can be
made they will also help to promote
a local fair late next summer.
Under the local leadership of Miss
Ehnstrom, principal of the Riverdale
consolidated school, and Bernice An
keny, president of the club, the boys
and girls will surely make success
of their work, and proudly contend
that they will stand second to none
when the final decision is made next
fall.

Liederbach Repudiated

A. A. Liederbach, state chairman Of
the Nonpartisan league, is eliminated
from the state senate race by the ac-
tion Of the county convention Of Mer-
Ger county. Senator R. H. Walker
was indorsed for reelection. Walker
a minority member Of the league ex-
ecutive committee, has been a harsh
critic Of the policies of the committee
as directed by Liederbach.
Interest in the convention centers
largely upon probable action in deal.
ing with the candidates for United
States senator. The fact that A. ].
Gronna, former senatora.has received
the Endorsement Of thds sCass county
Nonpartisan convention, controlled BY
the state committees; is interpreted
generally as meaning that the organ
ization will throw its support to Mr..
Gronna.
State Senator B. F. Baker has been
prominently mentioned as q candidate
for governor.

MINERS WILL STRIKE APRIL
Six Hundred Thousand Men to Quit
Over Wage Dispute

A formal call for a strike Of both
anthracite and bituminous coal miners
on April was sent out Tuesday from
headquarters Of the United Mine
Workers Of America at indianapolis.
Copies Of the call were placed in the
mails for delivery to officials Of all
the unions 5000 local organizations,
scattered throughout the country. The
text Of the call was not made public.
Issuance of the order comedies with
the first meeting Of the subcommittee
of anthracite miners and operators to
draw up new wage contract for the
one expiring March 81. In their de-
mands served on the operators about
a week ago the miners, in addition to
asking a 201e increase in wages de-
clared that suspension of work would
follow the failure Of the subcommittee
to come to an agreement before the
first Of April. It is generally believ-
ed that no new agreement will be
reached before that date.
Coal operators who face the pros
pect of strike Of their employees on
April 1, but who still refuse to enter
national conference with the coal
miners union are not controlled by
"mere madness, but a determination
to cure a deep-seated disorder" Geo.
h. Cushing, managing director Of the
American Wholesale Coal association,
declared in an address before the
Washington city club.

) SAYS LEAGUE BANK 1NsoLvENT
Wood Claims Institution Was Broke at
Time It Was First Closed

Frank B. Wood, member Of the ex-
ecutive committee Of the National
Nonpartisan league, says the Scandi-
navian American bank was insolvent
at the time it was closed in 1919 and
declares that the application that was
made to the state banking board for
the increase Of capital stock was based
on fraudulent premise.
These contentious on the part Of
Mr.. Wood are set forth in the suit he
has just filed as trustee for the pur-
chasers Of $90,930 worth Of stock in
the bank against Ole L. Engen, re-
ceiver, demanding the return Of the
notes given in payment Of the stock.
Several months ago he demanded the
return Of the notes, but the demand
was rejected.
At the time Of the original closing
Of the bank the league officials, includ,
ing Wood, called mass meeting Of
farmers in Fargo and they made ap-
peals to them to buy stock in the bank
for the purpose Of reorganizing the
institution and placing it on firm
foundation. They claimed the bank
was sound and that LANCER and Hall
had acted illegally in closing 1t.
In the report made by Lofthus and
Thatcher to the supreme court they
declared that the bank was absolutely
sound and that Halldorson, the deputy
examiner, upon whose report the clos
ing of the bank was based, had ma
liciously misrepresented the facts con-
cerning the banks condition.
The bank was re-opened, a large
amount of additional public money
was poured in, and the fund of more
than 100000 that was obtained from
the farmers for increasing the cap
ital stock also was placed in the bank,
all Of it being tied UP when Lofthus
finally closed the institution.
. In his suit, Wood claimed that it
was represented in 1919 that the bank
was sound and solvent, but "said rep
reservations were false in this, that
the said Scandinavian bank was not
then and there solvent, but on the
contrary, as the officers and duly au-
thorized agents Of said bank then well
knew, the said bank was then and
there insolvent, and that plaintiff did
not discover the fact that said bank
was insolvent until on or about Dec.
Is, 1921"
Mr.. Wood also says that no stock
certificates were issued to the persons
who were persuaded to put their mon
ey into the institution at the rate of
$210 for each share.

The sudden ending Of the feature
bout was distinct disappointment to
the crowd, and Wirth went on for a
few rounds with Ted Bartlett and then
with his brother. August. These two
additions to the program sent the
audience home in good humor and
everybody was satisfied.
A liberal sprinkling of ladies in the
audience encouraged the contestants
to do their best. We hope more will
attend next time.
The Legion plans to promote other
bouts in the near future, with Wirth
as one Of the contestants. He is q

suaded to give him q match, and two

Right Hand Smash to Jaw Sends Alb

! DEFEATED MAN LAUDs WIRTH
Legion Athletic Entertainment Draws
Crowded House

Frank Backley Of Aberdeen may be
some wrestler-he is some wrestler
but II he ever had any idea that he
was in line for the championship as a
boxer it was knocked out of him last
Saturday night when julius Wirth
rocked him to sleep in exactly one
minute in the wind-up number Of the
Legion's athletic program. From this
it need not be inferred that the loser
is such an awful dub at the boxing
game, either, but he simply was un-
fortunate in going against man vast
ly his superior in every department Of
the game of give and take-mostly
take.
Julius Wirth is young fellow who
came here from Milwaukee severs1
months ago and, together with his
brother, has worked out in the gym
and on the road for some time. Sew
eral local boys who formerly imagined
themselves to be "some men" have
discovered that they are hrst class
exponents Of almost any other pro-
fession, but they simply don't box,
don't you know.
The opening number on the pro-
gram Saturday night was gang

sters under fifteen years of age. They
mauled each other numerically, but
didn't seem to mind the hard knocks
particularly. They were amply repaid
for their efforts when the crowd ap-
plauded them noisily.
Next came three-round battle be-
tween a "naygur," in the person Of
c. E. Shaver, and an Oirishman, Seley
Wilcox. Aug. Erdmann, as referee,
was a bear. He, also, impersonated
a gentleman from the ould sod, and
did his best to help his countryman
win. The naygur managed to knock
his opponent down several times and
finally had him groggy, but the bell
came in handy for him-oh, yes, the
time-keeper was in on the racket, too.
Seeing the Irishman was bound to lose,
the referee persuaded the naygur to
glance up at the lights in the third
round, and Pat "sloughed" him for q

Then came the main bout. Oh, boy!

like that. He returned the compli-
ment, knocking Backley against the
ropes, groggy, but stepped back to
allow him to recover. The crowd
didn't like to see him back away from

slammed Frank on the jaw and It was
all over. The referee, L. L. Wilson,

House Ballots on Bonus

The soldier bonus bill will be taken
up today by the house Of representa-
tives under suspension Of the rules.
Speaker Gillett agreed to this Tues
day after a conference with Chairman
Campbell of the rules committee.
So far as changes are concerned,
the "gag" rule will be applied, but
indications are that ample time will
be afforded for most every one to
make speech for the folks at home.
While it is said that the senate will
pass the bill intact, house leaders are
intimating that notifications by that
body are not improbable. These may
make it possible for Harding to sign
without compromising himself. -.

GREAT BUILDING
YEAR FORESSEEN
Commerce Department Of Gsve,nmen,
.s- Predicts Reduction of HOME
ShOrtaIe
RETURNING TO NORMAL TIMES
Contracts Awarded Past Three Months
Well Above Last Year

All signs point to 1922 as big
year for home builders, according to
the department Of commerce. The di-
vision Of building and housing has
studied reports of contracts awarded,
analyzed figures on building permits
and consulted with builders and real
estate men from scores of cities, and
concludes that before the year is out
the United States will have begun to
reduce it's housing shortage consid-
erably.
In twenty-seven northeastern states,
in which two-thirds Of the people live,
contracts for $75, ,000, 900 of residential
construction were awarded in Febru-
ary. The figure was the same for
January, while December showed a
total Of. $101, ,000, 900. These figures
compare with monthly average for
the year 1919 Of $71 ,00O, 900 and for
1921 Of $4,000, 900. This showing is
remarkable, as normally December,
January and February are the three
lowest months Of the year, and it is
especially encouraging since the late
SsAAAASA 0AAO 4oAA ulOIltIlS showed an
unusually large number of building
projects started, to be carried along
during the winter season. Everything
points, therefore, to an active spring
building season.
The situation varies greatly be-
tween different cities, few having a
surplus Of homes, but number Of
places apparently will build to the
limit of their capacity. In view Of
general business conditions it does not
seem likely that there will be any
great general increase in building ma
terial prices or building trade wages.
In fact, the steady activity during the
fall and winter months indicates that
the demand for new construction is
Of q healthy, steady nature, that would
probably slacken in case of any mark
ed advances.
Measured in floor space, the aver
age contracts awarded during the last
three months stand well above the
1921 average and very close to the
high year Of 1919. With such a start
the year 1922 could easily rank ahead
of any year since the beginning Of the
war.
