Abolish DepOsit Feature

With regard to the Bank of North
Dakota proper, it is understood that
Governor Nestos is prepared to rec
ommend that in the interest Of econo-
my and for the welfare of the state
to abolish the private or individual de-
posit features of the Bank and to
devote the energy of the management
of the bank to complete development
of the rural credits department and
The handling of the funds belonging
to the state and to the various insti-
tutons. When the present manage
ment of the Bank of North Dakota
took over the bank the individual de-
posits amounted to $4,000 and now
are about $4,000. The individual de-
posit feature, however, is held in ad
ministration circles to be CONNER
cial function Of the bank which ought
to be dispensed with.
1t also is known here that Cover
nor Nestos plans to lay before the
legislature the question Of action to
make possible the payment without
delay Of all soldier bonus claims, on
basis somewhat similar to the hail
warrant sales negotiated by the ad
mnistration.

every way.

good people of Minot for their sup
port. Minot's quota had been set at
100000 and the city oversubscribed.
The county campaign did not net d
very large sum. Kenmare raised
about $4,000, but little success was
reported from other quarters.
The committees III charge of the
campaign did not urge anyone to
give more than they felt they could
afford to give and whatever was sub
scribed was given freely.
On the final day of the campaign, a
successful tag day was held, which
netted about $4,000. Many schoo!

An immense crowd attended the
midnight Mass at St. Leo's Catholic
church Sunday night. Every seat
was taken half an hour before the
services opened and hundreds of chairs
were placed in the aisles. A large
number were unable to get into the
church.
The children's choir sang at the
opening Of the service. Mrs. Cath
crime Baker directed the church choir,
the music being played by an eight

SAUNDERS DRUG CO. NEW NAME
FOR POPULAR DRUG CONCERN

On and after January 1, 1923, the
Taylor Drug Co., N. Main Street, will
be known as the Saunders Drug Co.
Cap Saunders, the manager and one
of the proprietors, has been associated
with the store ever since it was start
ed twelve years ago and during the
past eight years has served as it's
manager.
The store was organized as the
Taylor Drug Co., because Frank P.
Taylor, now manager Of the Leland
Drug Co., was one of it's organizers.
The new name of the Saunders Drug
Co., will be much more convenient and
proper, inasmuch as Mr.. Saunders is
its manager and devotes his entire
time to that concern.
This store has enjoyed a remark
ably fine business. Mr.. Saunders is
very capable merchandiser, good
advertiser, a quiet unassuming man
who does big things without making
any particular fuss about so doing.

Nestos, Herigstad and Stenerscn
Form Law Partnership

The law firm of Nestos, Herigstad
& Stenersen has been formed for the
practice of law in the present quar-
ters in the John Ehr block.
The firm of Nestos & Hcrigstad
has been in existence for many years,
no change being made when r. A.
Nestos left for Bismarck to become
Governor Of North Dakota. Mr.. Her
ifistad, states attorney, continued the
work for the firm and when V. f.
Stenersen became assistant state :
attorney, he moved his law Office into
the building occupied by Mr.. Herig-
stad. Mr. Stenersen has been elected
states attorney and now returns the
compliment by appointing Mr.. Herig
stad his assistant.
Should Mr.. Nestos ever retire from
public office he will undoubtedly re-
turn to Minot where he lived for so
many years, to again take up the
work he left when he was elected to
the highest position within the gift of
the people Of our state.

who for the past fifteen years has
occupied the Scofeld block with his
offices and hospital, has moved to the
second floor of the new Colcord Block
33 West Central Avenue, which has
just been completed.
The new hospital is one Of. the most
modernly equipped institutions Of its
kind in the west. 1t was built espe-
cially for DR.. Mcdaniel who cooper
atcd with the architect, Ira l.. Rush
in drawing the plans. No expense
was spared to make the building first
class in every particular. The wood
work thruout is Of beautiful selected

The operating room has been fitted

GOV, NEST0SrI0ULD
RURAL CREDITS DEPT. OF BANK

Revision of and strengthening Of
the rural credits department of the
Bank of North Dakota, is expected
to be urged upon the legislature at
it's forthcoming session, by Governor
r. A. Nestos. The proposals Of the
Governor are expected to embrace
both the remedyinG OF defects exist
ing in the law at the present time
and permitting the continuance of
the rural credits business in the
future.
In line with the Governors policy
as announced in campaign speechea
of asking that the state industrial en-
terprises be placed in the hands of
on-political boards of experts, it is
expected that such recommendation
will be made with regard to the Bank
of North Dakota. 1t is generally
held in administrative circles that the
distance of the Grand Forks mill and
elevator from the state capitol makes
it imperative that a board be named
to manage the mill, but that the prin-
ciple of non-political management Of
the industries also applies to the Bank
of North Dakota.
There are several measures said
to be necessary in consideration of
the rural credits department. During
the last six months, the amount OF
money used from the Bank of North
Dakota to act as revolving fund
for the handling of the farm loan
business has varied from $780, 900 to
$1,1OO,000.O0, averaging about $780,
900, and it is held by bank officials
that the same amount of money will
be needed for the efficient handling
of the business for years to come. The
legislature probably will be asked to
provide for such revolving fund, be-
cause Of the uncertainty of depending
upon available tax funds in the bank.
Changes Held Necessary
Under the rural credits law, the de-
partment is permitted to charge an
amount to cover administrative ex-
penses, not exceeding one percent.
There is, however, no provision for
turning into the farm loan any excess
there may be over the actual admins
trative expenses. One difficulty en-
countered by both the league and
present administration in the sale Of
state bonds was that payment at ma
turity was fixed by law at the state
treasurer's office whereas most bond
investors desire bonds payable in New
York. 1t is probable the legislature
will be asked to enact a law making
the payment optional, eeltheI az lhe
state treasurer's office or at trust
company in New York: The law
governing the making of farm loans
by the Board of University and School
lands provides that the board may pay
taxes and insurance upon land and
buildings on which loans are made
when the borrower is delinquent, but
there is no such provision in the Bank
of North Dakota law. The laws per-
hitting the issuance of bonds has been
construed to mean that farm loan
mortgages must mature within 30
years after the passage Of the law,
which would make the amortization
period at this time but 26 years. 1t
is desired to clearly provide for an
amortization period of 80 years.
1t also has been pointed out that al
though the limit Of bonds which may
be issued by the rural credits depart
-ment was raised from $4,000, 900 to
$20,OO0,000, if the department is to be
