EQUITY DEAL
APPEARS OFF
Judgment Due and Money Not
Forthcoming TO Pay 1t

Fargo June G-With the deficiency
Judgment of some 100000 in favor of
Louis Altenbernd, the heaviest cred
itor due tomorrow and with no def
mite word from H. A. Emerson of
New York, in the way of money to
meet the company's obligations, the
sale of the Equity Cooperative
Packing company's plant TO the Fargo
Packing company appears to be off
today.
An effort apparently is being made
to prolong the period of negotiating
until June 20, when the yeur of re-
demption upon sheriff's certificate
of sale of certain property to Louis
Altenbcrnd expires. When he was
asked today about his deficiency
Judgment, Mr.. Altenbernd said he
thought it was due tomorrow, "but
that they tell me it isn't due till
June 90"
The sale of the Fargo Packing
company an organization engineered
by Mr.. Emerson, was approved at a
special meeting Of Equity Packing
plant stockholders on March GO in
Fargo. Previous to the meeting. it
had been approved by postcard
vote conducted by &. W. Rcichcrt,
president and general manager of the
company.
Under the terms of the sale, NJ.
Emerson was to advance over
$l6O,OOO to meet outstanding obliga-
tions of the company and to give
Equity stockholders $750,0OO of stock
in the new company. The money to
pay the obligations was to be forth
coming by June 6.
No Money From Emerson
No money has been received from
Mr.. Emerson to meet some $4,000 in
personal taxes for 1920 and 1921
which were to be paid by June 1 if
penalty and interest were to be
avoided.
No money has been received from
him to meet judgment, interests
and costs amounting to $l4,6S1.76 for
the Northwest Audit company, and
on May 81 the company received a
sheriff's certificate Of sale for that
amount.
This represents a lien subject to "a
specific lien made by Louis Alien
bernd. of Sabin, to satisfy his deA
ficicncy judgment. On June 20, Mr..
received sheriff's GER
tificate of sale totaling about $24,-
600 for certain Equity Cooperative

FORD'S ACTION
0NPRESIDENCY
is UNCERTAIN
No One in Detroit Knows
Just What He'll Do.
Says Editor
ARE STRONG FOR HIM

No one around Detroit, Henry
Ford's "homc town" knows whether
he will seek the president or not
but most people are agreed that if
he does he will 60 like a house
afre"
And among his friends there is diff
ference of opinion as to whether he
should run Independently or seek the
Democratic nomination, but they all
are agreed that if he gets the Dem
ocratic nomination he is going into
the White House on high.
These observations sum up the sit
uation around Detroit now as sound
ed by Wallace Campbell, editor of
jim Jam Jems, who has returned
from trip to the Twin Cities, Chi
cago and Detroit.
They arc strong for Uncle Hen
merry down there; there isn't any
doubt about it," Mr.. Campbell said.
But no one knows what he will do"
While in Detroit Mr.. Campbell
called ut Mr.. Ford's Office, but he
was not. in the city. Mr.. Campbell
discussed matters with his secretary.
Boom Touched OF.
If Henry Ford is elected president
Bismarck may be named as the start
ing place of the boom. An article,
"1f Henry Ford We're President" in
Jim Jam Jcms attracted widespread
attention. Roy Harrop Of Nebraska,
head of an economic league, asked
permission to reproduce the article.
He distributed thousands of copies.
Then followed the application in
Nebraska to put Ford on the ballot
for the presidential primary, and the
country began listening to the Ford
boom.
1t was a match in Bismarck that
touched off the fireworks now being
heard on all sides.
The Office force of Jim Jam Jems.

"People honestly believe Henry
Ford is no rubber stamp. They be-
lieve he would use his brains in the
White House and they've seen some
pretty good results of his brains"
Progressive sentiment. of different
character that that in North Dakota.
is very strong in Detroit, Mr.. Camp
bell said. Dissatisfaction with high
taxes was given as one Of the chief
reasons.
Disputes Lines Profit.
There is great dispute in De-
troit as to whether the city-owned
street railway lines have made
profit. Mr.. Campbell said. Recently
The city claimed large profit for
the first years operations.
"Those against the system say that
It is merely book profit. and if the
proper amounts were charged for
depreciation and the system we're
tept up properly. there wouldn't be
my profit, Mr.. Campbell said.
"Be'th as it may" he added, "the
rack is mighty rough"
During his stay in Detroit Mr..
Campbell addressed luncheon club

system. Recently large publishing
'ouse there purchased right to pub

garded to be an official abstract of
the Belgian proposals on German
reparations under discussion by the
French and Belgian heads in Bel
gium is printed by the World today.
According to this abstract the Bel
gian plan fixes the total indemnity
to be collected from Germany at
forty billion gold marks with service
on the debt computed at six per cent
interest plus a one per cent sinking
fund. making the German payment
work out at two billion eight hun
drcd million gold marks a year.
To meet these payments revenues
from the German state railways from
special monopolice from coal deliv-
cries arc proposed
The monopolies would be assigned
to the reparation com m ission which
would farm them out to private syn
dicates. The Bclgians contend that
far greater revenues could be than
are now yielded by the German rail
roads as the freight and passenger
rate in force fails to correspond a
great deal to the depreciation Of the
marks and they are not run on sound
economic lines, largely because of
SO per cent increase over the pre-
war personnel. 1t is declared that
the taxation proposed is calculated

In Southern Alberta

Southern Alberta farmers are evinc-
ing a keener interest in the wheat pool
movement since the visit of Aaron
Sapiro, the California marketing ex-
pert, and Warner has taken the lead
in organizing it's farmers to enter the
pool. This is separate and apart from
the "baby pool" organized at Macleod
two weeks ago, which already includes
as members farmers who annually
raise 100000 bushels of grain and
which is ready any time to merge its
interests with the provincial or inter
provincial pool.
The officer Of its chain of elevators
and mills by the Ellison Milling COM
pany has also accelerated the pool
movement in the south. The company
controls 10 line elevators and three
mills the latter at Lethbridge. Ray
mond and Cardston. These houses
are all frst-class and located in heavy
wheat producing districts. TIbe offer
of these houses to the pool on a five
years. payment basis is a concrete
step forward in solving the pool pro-
blems in this part of the province.
