Local Elevators
Consolidated

The consolidation of the Penlbina
Grain and Lumber Company and
the Farmers Elevator Company of
Pembina was effected last Thursday
The directors elected to manage the
concern are G. A. Morris, R. "A. King,
Joseph Berard, Walter Wexford, P.
F.. Stroud, Walter Reed and w. J.
McDougal. The president was not
named but it will probably be Mr..
Reed. w. ]. McDougal who has been
in charge of the business of the
Pembina Grain and Lumber Com
pany since the death Of his father
will be general solicitor of the Sheri-
dan Land Company, located at Am
enia, this state, and which is part
of the new Organization, and Mr..
McDougal will have charge Of all
outstanding accounts of the former
Pembina Grain and Lumber Com
pany. Both the former Farmers
Elevator Company and the Pembina
Grain and Lumber Company collects
all their old accounts and assumes
their liabilities, and the new organi-
zation starts with a clean balance
sheet. We have not learned who will
be in charge of the business of the
new concern.

Boosters Take
Another Trip

The Pembina Boosters under the
auspices of the Pembina Community
Club went to Hallock Friday after.
noon ostensibly to advertise the 4th
of July celebration and also to en-
courage the base ball team to de-
feat the Hallock team on their own
grounds.
There were twenty-seven automo-
biles in the procession that conveyed
the ball players and the members
of the band on the trip. They went
via Emerson where they played sew
eral tunes after which they return
ed via the Minnesota side and ser
enaded the towns of Humboldt an6
Northcote enroute to Hallock. They
arrived at Hallock a little after five
o'clock where the band played sew
eral tunes and the delegation went
the rnunds making known the fact
that Pembina was going to celebrate
the 4th.
After supper everybody went to
the ball park to witness one of the
most spirited games of base ball
played this season. For the first
half of the game there was no scor-
ing on either side, and the outs and
ins went with the regularity of au-
tomato machinery. A couple of
times the Pembina team succeeded
to get men on the second base but
that was all. At the close the score
stood Pembina and Hallock 0.
Rousing cheers went up all around
and everybody conceded the victory
to the Pembina account of superior
playing.
The best of spirit prevailed dur
ing the entire game and the large
attendance showed the interest taken.

Distinguished
Callers Here

The Pioneer Express was honored
by trio of distinguished visitors
who spent a pleasant fifteen minutes
with US Wednesday morning. They
were President Knutson of the Wal
halla Chautauqua association, Gov
ernor Nestos, and Joseph Daniels,
of North Carolina. The governor
and Mr.. Daniels came here to take
the Northern Pacific for the south,
after having filed an appointment
at the chautauqua the day before at
Walhalla.
Mr.. Daniels is a typical southern
er, with smooth accent, and is a
pleasant conversationalist. Referring
to this being his first visit to N.
Red River Valley he was amazed at
the magnitude of the resources of
this country and it's future possibili-
ties. He was very much taken up
with the immense wheat fields that
seemed to know no bounds.
Governor Nestos has a fine per-
sonality and is as rigid in appear
ance as his administration would in
dicate. He expressed himself as
we'll pleased at the outcome of the
primary election and predicted a
sweeping victory at the fall election.
Mr.. Daniels who is following a
lecture tour with the chautauqua ly-
ceum bureau was on his way to Big
Stone Lake, Minnesota, where he
fills his next appointment, while the
governor was going to Grand Forks
to attend to business matters there.

iof dissemination was delayed. The
iother ana more important factor u
this element Of the election was the
vast number Of candidates and Issues
on which votes had to bs counted.
There were, for instance. three can.
didatss on the Republican ballot for
nomination for senator, three for gov.
ernor, three for attorney general, si1
for railroad commissioners, eleven for
the supreme court BENCH three laws,
and all the county and legislative postA
besides the congressman and other
state officials to be nominated.
Definite returns on the entire ticket
were scarcely available Monday and n
will be many days yet before the OH

ltshed.

Party leaders and close political OBJ.
servers estimated at election time that
possibly 10000 who had previously
registered as Democrats changed theii

cipate in the Republican primary. The

The entire campaign was marked by

voters throughout the state and while
the contestants and various parties all
made many forecasts and predictions,
yet everyone who was in close touch
with the voting constituency felt that
to foretell the tide Of the votes was out
Of the question.
It is generally believed that many
voters stayed away from the polls be-
cause Of an inability or lack of desire
to choose between some Of the para
mount issues and leading candidates,
while 1t Is known that hundreds Of
others were out Of the state on vacation
trips. Although many Of these latter
sent back absent voters ballots, many
more failed entirely to do this and
others sent their ballots too late for
them to be counted.

9th, 1922, eleven head OF young

MIR. Earnest Edsell spoke to the

Speaking Of the formation of the
Federal Reserve banking system, Mr..
Edsell stated it had come out of a
hundred years Of national banking
under conditions governing the sys-
tenn that had not proven adequate to
demands in time of urgent need. The
money panic of 1907, he stated,
brought the bankers to realize the
lack of reserve that might be avail
able for just such a condition. There
was, up to that time, practically no
cooperation among the banks, no re-
