LEGION HEAD
SEES GUARDIN
GRAND REVIEW
Mlvin Owsley, National Com
mander American Legion,
Explains Legion Ideal
GUARD is PRAISED
General Duncan Says That Ii
X Is One of Finest Bodies of
Men He's Seen
GUARD IS PRAISED

Devils Lake, N. D., June 18.-Al
of the American Legion, speaking
before the encampment of the North
Dakota National Guard here yester-
day bitterly assailed persons who
seek to tear down American military
forces, who demand the recognition
Of Soviet Russia and who strive t.
ward replacing the present form of
American government with COM
munist system.
The speaker Landed the aims and
purposes Of the American Legion and
IN this connection he said "the pur-
pose of the Legion is to make over
the country; we are dedicated to the
brilding of a mighty nation, stronger
III mind and firmer in heart than
ever before, to prepare the way to
AN enlightened citizenship. Let nc
man boast too much of his genera
ton. We are the products of the
sacrifices of all men and women who
have gone before. Great is our in
>heritance."
y Commander Owsley praised Gov
ernor R. A. Nestos, who preceded
him on the platform for his stand
against illiteracy and the methods he
has suggested to combat it.
The army is too small, according
to the speaker. He said Congress
was wro> in reducing the personnel
Of the army to 10000 men. In
praising the National Guard he said:
Il take off my hat to you men in
the National Guard In this state
You fought with the regulars in the
war and taught the regulars that
there were real fighting men in the
guard"
Following the address the 164th
regiment, North Dakota National
Guard, was reviewed by Gen. Geo. B.
Duncan, commander Of the seventh
army corps area, \and Col. Harry
Eaton of the general staff, and Col.
Frank Halstead, in charge of Ma
tional Guard affairs.
Also of the reviewing party were
Governor Nestos, Lieut.. Gov. Frank
Iyland, Commander Owsley, Adju-
tant General G. A. Fraser, Col. A. B.
Jackson, Jr., of the governors staff,
Mack V. Traynor. of the American
Legion, and Jack Williams, state ad-
jutant American Legion.
"The lS4th is one of the best bod
les of men / have ever seen," said
Gen. Duncan. "They showed remark
al,le efficiency in view Of the short
title they have been in training"
Gen Duncan was also pleased with
the camp site, he said.

CITY DRENCHED BY HEAVY SHOWER
SUNDAY WHICH EXTENDED SOUTH and
NORTH; BARN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING

Bismarck was drenched Sunday by
a downpour of short duration but
great intensity.
The storm followed u freak course,
covering considerable area both
south and north of Bismarck, and
apparently followed the river. 1t
rained very lightly in Mandan but
heavy south of that city.
The barn of Ben Campbell, 8 miles
south of Mandan on the river road.
was struck by lightning about IL a.
m. The fire caused apparently
smouldered for several hours and
then broke into flames.
The barn, big dairy structure, 40
by GO feet, was destroyed; also 10
ton silo, with 25 tons of ensilage in
it. Two horses were rescued. There
were no cattle in the barn. The loss
is estimated at $4,000.
Joe Ricks was on the roof of the
barn throwing water when it col
lapsed. The boy flung himself
backwards and escaped being precipi-
tated into the fiery furnace, and fell
10 feet. but escaped injury.

G0PHERS VOTE
IN PRIMARY ON
SENAT0RSHIP
Will Select Standard Bearers
For Republican, Farmer-'
Labor, Democratic Parties
PREUS, HALLAM LEAD
Considered FavOrites in the
Republican Contest Fur
nishing the Big Thrill

st. Paul, June lS-MinnesOta VOt-
ers set out today to clarity the poll
teal situation resulting from the
recent sudden death of Hnute Nelson
the states United States Senator.
In special primary today the ,elec
torate was selecting three men, u
Republican,, a Farmer-Laborite and
a Democrat, to contest for the late
senator's uneXpired term in the July
l6 final election
Fourteen candidates sought favor
at the polls today, nine on the he
publican ticket, three IN the Farmer
Labor poll and two carrying the Dem
ocratic standard. 1t is one of the
history of the state.
Polls opened at 6 Il. m. and before
they closed at 8 o'clock tonight ap-
proximately 100000 ballots are ex.
pected to be marked. Unless there
are exceptionally close races the re-
suit probably will be known definite
| ly 12 to Is hours after the polls
close.
Predictions Cautious
Recent political upsets in Mime
! sofa have made expert" prognosti-
Gators cautious but they are agreed
that Governor J. A. o. Preus and
Oscar Hallam, who recently resign
ed as a state supreme court justice
should furnish the main competition
in the Republican fight.
Magnus Johnson, one of the Farm
| I oh Iafa nIu l.
votes behind Governor Preus in the
general elections last fall in the
lgubernatorial race and he and DR.. l.
A. Frltsche, mayor Of New ulm, are
considered principal contenders in
the Farmer-Labor group.
| James A. Carley, state senator OF
Plainview, has the endorsement 0,
the Democratic state organization
for that partys nomination and party
leaders say he will overwhelmingly
defeat Francis Carey, Minneapolis
attorney.
Big G.. o. p. Field
| Besides Gov. Preus and Former
Justice Hallam the Republican can.
didates are former Governor j. A. A
Burnquist, Congressman Sydney An
derson, and Thomas ID. Schall, former
| Congressman, Ernest Lundeen and
Halvor Steenerson; Victor Power
Mayor of Hibbing and John j. Martin
Minneapolis attorney. The third
farmer labor candidate is forme,
Congressman c. A. Lindbergh.
Predictions as to the probable tide
of the vote in today's primary are
based .on the apparent lack Of inter
est in the state as a whole, compared
to that shown in most general elec-
tions. This condition is expected tt
cut the usual voters to 0ne-half the
100000 eligible to vote. 1t is in the
July l6 election that the main fight
will come and this will be between
the Republican and FarmerLaboi
candidate as it has been in recent re-
gular elections unless there is an un
forseen result in today's primary.
The FarmerLaborites elected then
first Minnesota senator to Congress
last fall when DR.. Hendrick Shipstead
defeated Senator Frank p. Kellogg
decisively.
DR.. Shipstead will take his seat al
the same time the July l6 victor is
sworn in.

JUNE 30TH IS
"BILLPAYING"
DAY IN STATE
Public Corporations Go On
Cash Basis That Day
Method of Change Ex-
planned
CAN BORROW MONEY
County Treasurer Made Gus
todian of all Sinking Funds
Under New Law
CAN BORROW MONEY

June 30 will be bill paying" day
with counties, cities and school dis
tricts of North Dakota, for on JULY
l they are required to go on n cash
basis, under house bill No. 129, pass.
ed by the last legislature and effec.
tive July l.
&. c. Coverse. state tax commits
sioner, explaining the new law in q
pamphlet, discusses this phase as
follows:
"How will counties meet their
bills on July /, 1923? All procedure
necessary for the sale of certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness must take
place after July !, and necessarily
there will be considerable time
elapse before the sale can be com
pleted, and taxing districts placed
on a cash basis as to current ex-
penses. For this reason, it may be
that county boards will deem il
necessary to take care of certain
current expenses before the cash
basis law goes into effect July /
Otherwise large amount of cur
rent obligations cannot be taken
care of until possibly the first of
August. Boards may allow and pay
such bills as they deem must be TAX
en- care of on June 3Oth."
Another question arising is
"when has tax been levied?" The
levy must form the basis of the is
suance of certificates of indebted
ness, on which counties may Dor.
row money in anticipation of tax
payments. The tax commissi ioners
hold that "a levy has been made
when it has been voted by the ta>
levying board" Certificates of in
debtedness, therefore, he holds, may
be issued Immediately after the tau
is levied.
In the case of sale of certifi
Gates Of indebtedness or bonds b!
any taxing district the sale must
be advertised if the amount exceed:
$4,000. This provision Of law, how
ever, does not apply if the sale is
made to the state board of univer
sty and school lands, not to certifi
Gates of Indebtedness bearing no
more than 1-2 percent interest, no
to cities of over 1000 population ol
school districts over 1000 popula
tion. Oral bids are permissible.
Under the new law the count!
treasurer is made custodian of al
sinking funds of taxing district
except in cities of over 1000 popu
lation and treasurers must delive
to the county treasurer sink
ing funds in their possession Of
July 1, the tax commissioner holds
Taking the supposition that dis
trict issued certificates of indebted
ness due in IL to l8 months ant
does not have sufficient tax collec
tions to meet them on maturity, tn
tax commissioner says:
"If the amount involved is les
, than $4,000 and holders of certifi
Gates Of Indebtedness are willing t.
accept renewal certificates, thi
course may be adopted. If they ar
not willing so to do or if the amour
exceeds $4,000, the district officer
may sell new certificates for tn
purpose of retiring the old ones. II
however, neither one of these ar
rangements can be accomplished
then the holders of past due certi
ficates of indebtedness have tn
right to require the county treasur
er to segregate cash collections fo
the purpose Of meeting such certi
ficates."

The lightning seemed to strike on
hill tops south of Mandan, jumping
from place to place, but the Campbell
barn is believed to be the only one
destroyed or damaged. Hail strip
ped the garden of Mr.. Campbell but
did not injure crops.
The rainfall reported by the
weather bureau was IA.
There was rain at several places
in the state. Armenia reported 10;
Devils Lake 90; Fessenden 20; Grand
Forks rs; Langdon 10; Minot 10;
Moorhead .02.
A low pressure area over Canada
caused a forecast of rain IN the north
west portion of the state.
Heavy showers were reported at
many places in the western part Of
the state in the last week. A 24-hour
rain around Fort Yates, Sioux County,
which began Friday evening and con-
tinued until Saturday evening, put
the reservation crops in better con-
dition than last year, according to
reports.

SUNNYSIDE ROAD
NOW COMPLETED

Through tourist travel from the
east may come now directly from
Mountain Home and points east
through Kuna, Nampa, and Cald
well, instead of around by Boise as
heretofore. The Sunnyside High
way was opened to travel Wednes-
day evening of last week.
That the road will prove big
benefit to Nampa and neighboring
cities is believed by business men of
this section. The long detour
through the state capital is no longer
necessary.
The local committee which has
been in charge of raising funds for
building the road is enthusiastic
over the job that has been done and
the low cost per mile that has been
in the construction. OF
to G. Reinhardt has had active
charge of the work and the engineer
ing work was done by Lee r. Cooke.

WHAT THE PUBLIC PAYS

The report of the Franklin Motor
Car Company claims a net profit in
the first quarter of 1928 sufficient
to cover entire preferred dividend
requirements for thewhole year. This
is fine and the management and
stockholders are to be congratulated.
But what would happen if a pub
lie utility could make such state
ment?
There would be an immediate pub
lie cutlery against such profits. Yet,
public utility service is more essen
tial in family and industrial life
than the automobile.
No public utility would think of
asking public service commission
to allow it such profits. All that a
progressive and capable public util-
ity asks is that it be allowed to earn
good, fair margin OF profit averag-
ing around z or per cent per an
mum plus culinary expenses required
in the proper management of such
a company
Too often it has a hard time to
convince regulatory bodies that it
is entitled to this modest return and
yet the public will pay Henry Ford
or other automobile manufacturers
an annual rate of return that would
represent a lifetime of profits in a

RAILROAD ELECTRIFICATI0N
PROCEEDING

Electricity is rapidly replacing
coal where power is required. Il
does away with dirt and resulting
damage to property. Greater still
it does away with constant trouble
involved in securing coal SUPPLIES and
labor to handle the same.
The Virginia Railway company,
famous coal road, awarded $751;
100000 contract for electrifcation of
213 miles OF its track across the AL
leghany mountains between Roanoke
and Mullens, West Virginia.
The road has been using the heav-
lest type of steam locomotive but it
took three of these engines develop
ing 1000 h. D. to move a 5,500-ton
train over the grades at Z miles per
hour. The new electric locomotives
developing 10000 h. p. per train
will haul 9,000-ton train over the
same grades at IA miles per hour
and If necessary, a 12.000-ton train
Sdh NC AlduiCu at LuC odllc opCCus
The day of electricity is here. In
transportation, on the farm, in the
house and in the air, 1t has been the
greatest labor saver and servant to
mankind that was ever applied to
human needs. 1t is safe to say that
this latest railroad identification
.
such contracts TO be let in the next
ten years.
If the pulling power of electric
and steam equipment were equal, the
convenience to the public resulting
from the ABSENCE of smoke with re-
damage to clothing and pro-
perty, would turn the tide in favor
Of electrical equipment.

From the little gate the whole world
over,
In our separate trails we have kept
our feet;
And we know the Fate which made
us pilgrim
Has said that we shall not meet;
Yet 1 think tonight of that far-off
hour,
And the dream of it is sweet.
Perhaps she has turned with sigh
of pity
To rest while in bloomy place,
Like leaf gone down in the mother
ing silence,
With the grass roots in her face,
Where the wind to the willow
mourns forever,
And mysteries embrace.
Oh, the heart is wild as the tides of
ocean!
AS it burns and breaks in the few
erish breast;
And Peace for Pain has a farewell
token
When love comes as a guest;
For love is a lost thing hunder-driv-
en-
Which has never learned to rest.
But I'd like to stand as the twilight
gathers
On the desert grim and gray;
BY the little gate, with her beside
me,
As we did in that far-off day:
oh, l wonder much what the owls
would pipe us
AS the wan light died away?
