Life, Liberty, Happiness and Harold
II0yd

Harold Lloyd, if he is to be judged
by his behaviour in Never Weaken"
places small value on his "unalienablc
rights" Of life and liberty in the pur-
suit of happiness---for others.
Perhaps Harold has a happy time
shimmying on an iron girder twelve
stories above an asphalt pavement
Perhaps it gives him the blues if tho
sun sets on a day in which he does not
frolic about on a skyscraper iron
framework as nonchalantly as hun-
cry goat on IL tin can Dump Perhaps,
he has nincty-ninc times the nine lives
of d cat, and life, more or less, is
nothing to be sneez"d at.
" my rate, he risks life and liberty
in the pursuit of thrills and laughs in
his newest Associated Exhibitors
comedy, which has been aptIy titled
"Never Weaken" The Orpheuln
Theatre will present it Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday in the belief that
it is Lloyd's greatest to date, for it
not only contains it's full measure Of
laughs, but the biggest aggregation
Of heart-quickening thrills that were
ever packed into three reels.

WARD AND BURKE COUNTIES
PLAN DES Laos LAKE HIGHWAY

The Ward county commissioners
have been comforting with the Burke
county commissioners relative to
building new bridge across Des
Lacs Lake between Kenmare and
Bowbells. The old bridge, built Of
piling and planks nearly twenty years
ago, was condemned several years
ago, but is still being used. Each
spring, the ice forces up the piling
and the ends have to be cut off before
the bridge is usable. The old planks
are worn and loose.
The new structure, as proposed, is
not to be bridge in reality but rip
rap roadway across the Lake for a
distance of more than quarter Of a
mile. There are plenty Of rocks in
that district and the main expense
would be gathering the rock and haul
ing them. The lake at the greatest
depth where the bridge crosses is
eight feet deep. The pre- sent bridge
has a turn table and such a devise is
to be provided for the new structure.
The lake is considered navigable
body of water, boats sometimes plying
up and down the lake, hauling wheat
down from points north as far as
Canada. 1t is estimated that the new
roadway will cost $9O,0OO.OO. Half of
this amount can be secured from the
federal government. There is state
law that where a bridge crosses a
navigable body Of water, the state
may appropriate one-third of the ex-
pense. The commissioners expect to
go before the legislature and ask for
this aid, and in case it is secured, this
will leave but $15,O0O.O0 to be paid
by. the counties of Ward and Burke,
or $7,50000 for each county for a
$90,000.00 proposition. This is good
financeering.
The plans are now being worked
out by representative from the fed
eral department. H. C. Frahm, form
er county surveyor for Ward, and now
with the state highway department, is
working in conjunction with the fed
eral representative. The proposed
roadway across the lake will last for
centuries.

ASSETS OF KENMARE BANK
SOLD FOR ONLY $4,6OO.OC

kenmare, Dec. 15.-There have been
numerous inquiries regarding the sale
of the assets Of the Farmers & Mer-
chants State Bank, Kenmare, N. D.,
which closed Sept. 5, 1918, and we
statement which will give the people
situation and what the sale means to
the creditors of the defunct bank.
The assets of the Farmers & Mer-
chants State Bank of Kenmare, N.
D., were sold to j. H. Sinclair and
w. F. Churchill on order Of the Court,
Nov. 18, 1922, for the consideration
of $4600.OO in cash. A bid for the
assets in that amount by Messrs. Sin
clair and Churchill was received eaEly
in November by the Receiver who
then made application to the Court
to sell. The hearing upon the petit
ton to sell was set for Nov. is, at
Williston and all the creditors were
notified of same No one objected
to the sale or made higher bid and
the assets were orderd sold and trans
ferred in accordance with the bid as
rendered by Messrs. Sinclair and
Churchill. The conditions of the bid
have been complied with and the pur-
chasers have taken possession of the
assets with James H. Sinclair Jr., in
charge Of same with office in the bank
building.
The same included all the assets ex-
cepting causes of action against the
stockholders Of the bank on their
double liability and an act on against
the former Receiver, NJ. 7. Dalquist.
There is pending at this time numer-
claims where preference is asked and
can be made until such matters are
finally disposed of.
The Bank was closed by the State
Banking Department on Sept. 5, 1918,
because of it's inability to comply with
regulations of the Department and
of the Guaranty Fund Commission
which was necessary at the time to
enable it to be accepted under the
Guaranty Act. The deposits in this
bank were therefore not guaranteed.
M. 7. Dalquist was appointed Re-
ceiver and took charge shortly after
Mr.. Dalquist resigned in March, 1921,
and A. A. Swanson then appointed,
and remaining in charge to this time.
During the time Mr.. Dalquist was in
charge he maintained that if the cred
itors would only give him sufficient
time he would pay out 100 cents on
the dollar. Shortly after Mr.. Swan
son took charge and, after he had time
to thoroughly investigate the different
items of assets, he reported to the
Court that little, if anything, would
be paid to general creditors regard
less Of whether the assets be imme-
diately disposed Of by bids or the
receivership continued indefinitely.
And the accuracy of that report has
been borne out by subsequent facts.
There is little of any hope that the
general creditors of the bank will re-
ceive a dividend of any kind. The
total number of claims against the
receivership amount to approximately
S3OO,OOO.O0 which will be almost a
total loss. Thus, through misman-
agement, poor paper, and because OF
poor crops, as near Il total bank loss
has occurred as has ever been record
ed in the State.

North Dakota Bee Men Form State
Organization

Fargo, N. D.-North Dakota's first
beekeepers' organization was organ
lied at the Agricultural College here
this week, when % beemen represent
ing several counties of the state ere
ated the North Dakota State Bee
keepers Association, following meet
ings with E. l. Root, beeman Of Me-
dina, Ohio and with bee specialists at
the college.
T. A. Williams of Cleveland, Stuts-
man county, was elected president; =;
George Duis, Grand Forks, vice pres
ident; DR.. r. l.. Webster, Agricultural
College, secretary, and f. j. Weiser,
Fargo, treasurer. An executive board
was elected consisting of w. l.. Critics,
Armenia, Mark Andrews, Fargo, and
Dana Wright, Jamestown. Mr.. Will
liams, president, has been beekeeper
for seven years. The average pro-
duction this year was 300 pounds of
sweet clover honey for each hive.
Despite the severe weather, bee-
keepers came from as far as the
northern part Of McHenry county to
discuss beekeeping methods, wintering
of bees, bee diseases, and the necessity
for state laws to control such bee dis
eases as American foul brood, a bac-
terial disease. 1nsistence that with
the proper control of foul brood North
Dakota's conditions mark it as a great
coming bee state was keynote Of the
general discussions. Recent figures
issued by the Federal Bureau Of Mar
kets gave North Dakota credit for the
highest average production for each
hive, 157 pounds.
Plans were formulated at the meet
ing to get in touch with more bee
keepers of the state, to carry on edu-
cational work among members during
the coming year, and to hold state
wide meeting some time next summer.

part in different social gatherings and
giving freely Of her time and labor
in all church activities.
Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon at 1880 o'clock, at the Con-
gregational church, of which the de-

the time of her illness.
