bic, He Says, Pleading for
Cooperation of the Bankers.

Governor r. A. Nestos, welcoming
the members of the North Dakota
Bankers Association in convention
here today on behalf of the Capital
City, stressed the important posi-
ton the banker holds in his com
munity, and asked the cooperation
of the bankers in building North
Oak ota into bigger state.
at is Il pleasure to welcome you
to the state capital today-welcome
because of what you, as an organ
ization, have already meant in the
life and development of the state,
and doubly welcome for the assur-
anco given by your attitude today
that you will render still greater
service to the commonwealth in
years to come" the Governor said
"While you are engaged in pri-
vate business. it is nevertheless
semi public in character and you
are achieving the greatest success
only when you do your daily work
with the consciousness that you are
builders of your community and
commonwealth. No community can
reach it's highest development unless
it's citizens can look to the bankers
as friends to whom they may 60 to
discuss their needs, problems, and
prospects with the confidence that
they will receive sound and help
full advice, and help whenever posi-
! BILE. The banker should occupy a
position in dealing with the econo-
mic and financial ills of the COM
munity similar to ,nat of the doc
tor in dealing with the bodily ills of
its people,"
Urges Thrift
In seeking the realization of the
highest ideals in the state, the Gov
ernor said, "there must be infused
into our citizenship renewed spirit
of work, thrift and economy; new
confidence in the state, it's produc-
tivity, and it's people. In this great
work, no group of citizens of our
state is in a better position to rem
der effective and helpful service
than you bankers"
Speaking of the need of more set.

Nestos said that nothing would de-
feat our work Of securing this de-
velopment more disastrously thar

of Commission Says
PEOPLE DESIRE THIS
Sentiment of Majority for Do
ing What the People De-
sire in the Matter

Bismarck's new water plant will be
complete in every detail and built to
give all the people service. This
point was made clear and emphatic
by A. P. Lenhart in answer to some
remarks of member Of the citizens
committee.
Moreover it is the sentiment of
each member of the commission as
expressed Tuesday evening and at a
special meeting this morning to make
the plant city owned affair down
to the last unit. Mayor Lenhart de-
clared that sentiment was for this
and that the people were going to
get what they voted fora city own

mum of service to all the people.
f. A. Hughes, president of the
Hughes Electric company appeared
before the commission and offered
special rate of two-andone-hali
cents kilowatt for electricity tC

he would put up bond to this eff

gineer would come before the com,
mission and tell them that a Diesel
oil burning engine could put power
on the board any cheaper than that
that he would give the city plant
juice free for five years.

bond to deliver juice on the switch

MEXICAN RECOGNITION

All signs point to the early recognition of Mex
leo. Obregon's government makes growingly good
impression The Mexican constitution is pretty radical
but that is Mexicos business long she does not
make herself nuisance countries, confis-
cate other peoples property, or break contracts Oil
has almost dropped out of the negotiations between
Mexico and Uncle Sam There is less fear of confisca
ton Besides, Tampco oil is less valuable, be-
of salt water in the wells, and huge
of supply has been found in California
1t is said to come down mainly TO question of
the Mexican national debt That country owed $780,
100000 abroad in government and railroad bonds, in
1914 and defauted the interest Deferred interest
brings the total Indebtedness up to about $70G 600
If Mexico pledges herself to pay that giving sasfac
tory guarantees and starting interest payments i'm
mediatey, the detail of recognition doubtless be
arranged without much further trouble.
That will end long ruinous period for Mexico
and corresponding period of trouble, expense and
uncertainty for the United States. 1t will be worth far
than $700,000000 to Mexico, to have the Amer
lean government and people friendly and have the ben
eft of American capital and enterprise. And it will
be worth than that 70 the United States to have
assured peace south Of the Rio Grande and share in
developing Mexicos vast natural wealth.
Mexico, records show, the most
wealthy and highly civilized port of the western hem
sphere She may play worthy role hereafter.

One day as the Fuzzy Fox was
tramping through the woods he met
the Woozie Wolf.
"Ha! Hal" laughed the Fox to
the Wolf. "Are you going to carry
off any more ragged dolls, so Tn
Gle Wiggily can throw their dress
es in your face? Ho! Ho!'
How did you hear about that'
growled the Wolf, for it had hap
pened that way as l told you in the
story before this.
"Oh, l heard about it" chuck
led the Fox. $50 you didn't nib
bic Uncle Wiggily' ears after

"No." grumblcd the Wolf, "and
it doesn' t seem as if ! ever would.
But why are you so clipper and
spry this morning, Mr.. Fox' Do
you think you will have any better
luck so that you can nibble rab-
bits ears for lunehf'
Perhaps, answered the Fox
mysterious like. 81 am on my way
now to catch Uncle Wiggily.''
Pooh. Nonsensel' laughed the
Wolf. "You'n never catch that
rabbit"

going to play a new trick on him.

you will come and help me l II give

will dig a deep hole near Uncle
Wiggily's bungalow and
"Tutl Tutl None of that" in
terrupted the Wolf. 1--WE tried that
trick once before, and we fell in
the hole after Uncle Wiggily dug
himself out
"Oh, but this is different,' cx-
planned the Fox. Il am not going
to dig hole for Uncle Wiggily to
fall into. / am going to dig hole
so that may hide in it. | II dig

Wolf, after thinking it over "In

"All right, > agreed the Fox.

III get in and you cover me with
sticks, leaves and dirt. Then you
go off in the woods and wait. III
bring Uncle Wiggily to you and
we Il nibble his ears.
''Fine!" growled the Wolf, SO
the two bad chaps started to work.
They dug deep hole near the path
that Uncle Wiggily usually hoped
along as he came from his hollow
stump bungalow. The Fox hid him
self in the hole, the Wolf covered
him with sticks, leaves and dirt,
and then the Wolf sncaked away
to wait in the woods.
