SAYS UTILITY
WAS UNFAIR
F. A. Bobb's Action Against
Hughes Company Is Heard

The railroad commission has be-
fore it today the evidence adduced
in the case in which Fred A. Bobb,
restaurant proprietor. alleged un-
lawful discrimination by the
Hughes Electric Company and de-
manded return of alleged excess me-
ter deposit required. Evidence was
taken in the >ase yesterday.
Bobb alleged that last April cur
rent was shut off. He claimed that
the meter was read in the middle OF
the month, before bills were due,
and that the utility would not re-
connect except on payment of $50
meter deposit, which Bobb alleged
was $45 more than regulations re-
quire. He claimed that after this
$50 deposit was made the utility re-
fused to connect unless $23.45 cleo
trio bill was paid up to date. He
demanded return of the alleged $45
excess payment, and discontinuance
of alleged aggravating methods of
the utility.
The utility claimed there was an
understanding with Bobb whereby
bills were to be paid twice month,
that the discontinuance was made
after the middle of the month bill
was due and admitted it would not
reconnect unless the bill was paid
up to the 28th.

BUY SAVINGS
CERTIFICATES
Investments Made by North
DakOtans Show Increase

Fargo, Nov. 2.-North Dakota is
far frombr oke and the people of the
state will have money to invest, ac-
cording to figures given out by Post
master Hugh c. Corrigan of Fargo.
These figures showed that the sale
of United States treasury savings
certificates during the month of
October was almost % times as large
as in October last year. In other
wordsth esales increased more than
200 per cent in one year.
The sale of certificates more than
doubled for the month of October
over the September sales and the
comparison with sales during the
corresponding months last year shows
violent contrast.
In September of last year the sales
totaled $20,s45, this year during Sep
TENDER the sales rose to $82,246.
During October year ago the sales
were onuly $6,3S9.5O. This year the
funds so far collected for October
sales total $l64,910. with approx
mately $4,000 not yet turned in by
agents over the state. Postmaste,
Corrigan says.

BANKS ARE NOT
BEING CLOSED

Fargo, Nov. 2.-State banks are not
being closed in North Dakota now
and have not been for some time,
Secretary w. C. Macfadden of the
North Dakota Bankers associations
said. He declared that the reports
Of closed banks that have appeared
in the press the past few weeks have
been erroneous in that these insti-
tuti6ns were not closed but were
merely placed in the hands of a
trustee, as provided by Senate bill
No. $50 passed by the late legisla-
ture
"These banks have not been
closed but are still doing business"
said Mr.. Matfadden. sowing to ex-
traordinary. Withdrawals some banks
have had their reserves impaired and
unless the new law had been invoked
they probably would have been fore
ed to close. Now they are enabled to
remain open and are doing business
under the state deposits guaranty
fund which absolutely protects the
new depositors against loss.

GREEK KING
ISPRiS0NER
Held in Virtual Captivity BY
The Revolutionary Forces

London, Nov. 2.-There is much
anxiety in Greek royalist circles and
among the people Of Greece regard
ing the fate of their king who is pri-
soncr within the borders of the coun-
try and under constant surveillance,
says correspondent of the Daily
Mail who was recently in Athens. He
said the reason that the king did not
attend the recent christening of his
nephew in Belgrade was that the re-
volutionary government would not
permit him to leave the country for
fear he would not return.
Only the lives of the King and
Prince Paul, his brother, stand be-
tween Venizelos and dictatorship.

NOT ENDANGERED

Washington, Nov. 2.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press)-The leasings of
Teapot Dome naval oil reserve to
the Harry F.. Sinclair interests was
unjustifiable if based on the dam
ger Of loss of oil by drainage
through wells on adjoining proper
ty, W. C. Mendenhall, chief geologist
of the geological survey told the
senate committee investigating the
lease. Frederick G. Clapp, geologist
employed by the committee to sur
vey the reserve, joined him in de-
ciaring the oil on the reserve should
have been retained in the ground.
Mcndenhal testified the drainage
Of oil through nearby wells would
have been negligible as the read oil
reserve on Teapot Dome was protect
ed by belt of land surrounding it
and included in the reserve through
which drainage could not penetrate.
The additional land had been includ
ed in the presidents order creating
the reserve for the specific purpose.
he said, of preventing drainage Of
the main supply which it was in
tended should be held on the ground
indefinitely.
Mr.. Clapp declared the lease was
justified as far south as the fault"
but said he did not consider it pre-
ferable to have 100000 barrels in
steel storage rather than 20,O0O,000
in storage in the reserve. There was
danger, he said that the storage
tanks might be destroyed by the en-
envy in time of war.

Government Establishing
Experimental Fur Farm

An experimental fur farm is being
established in the northwestern part
of New York state by the bureau of
biological survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture, in order
that observations and studies may be
made of the habits of fur-bearing ami
mails and of the possibilities of grow
ing them in captivity and producing
fur of good quality. A similar farm
which has been operated by the bu-
reau at Keeseville, N. Y, will be dis
continued as soon as the new one is
ready. The new farm is looted three
and one-half miles from Saratoga
Springs, N. Y, on the state highway
to Corinth and is more easily Access
sible than the old, both by automobile
and by bus line. The tract comprises
20 acres, of which approximately 10
are covered by an excellent, growth Of
timber, and will furnish an ideal stu
alton for the desired purpose.

Carefully Remove Even
Sprouts of Barberries

Removal of the original bushes of
the common barberry is not by any
means all of the warfare planned
against this ally of black stem rust.
Those in charge of the anti-barberry
campaign are sending word to every
property owner who has had the
bushes on his land removed to check
up the former location of the pest for
any sprouts which may be coming up.
"This work should be done before
the leaves appear" says L. w. Me-
lander of Minnesota university farm,
who is representing the government in
the anti-barberry campaign, "as the
sprouts are very susceptible to rust
and cause an early infection. De-
strnction of common barberry bushes
Is Of no avail unless their former sites
are checked thoroughly several times
each year for sprouts. Indeed, it may
be necessary to watch for sprouts for
several years.
1.-THE United States Department of
Agriculture and the state university
authorities ask the cooperation ofsev-
cry one in the eradication of a pest
which causes millions of dollars Of
damage every year."

Detours Bring Customers.

The motoring public is frequently
annoyed by signs marked "Detour'
which compel them to leave good
road for bad one for some distance.
They are even more annoyed when the
new route is not properly marked out
and as result they sometimes get
temporarily lost. A small boy upstate,
quick to grasp the situation. fashioned
few detour signs Of his own which he
erected and which diverted traffic by
his fathers house.
Then he built in his front yard a
small stand at which he sold ginger
ale and lemonade to the thirsty and
weary travellers and did good bust
ness until the authorities removed the
signs and the street once again be-
came rarely travelled thOroughfare.
