Topics for Discussion

Sheldon, N. D., May 23.-Gover-
nor r. A. Nestos, continuing the
speaking campaign he opened at
jamestown Thursday night, told an
audience here this afternoon some
thing of the detailed actions of the
state administration in its various
capacities, in defending the admin
istration from charges of inefficien-
cy in the conduct Of the public busi-
ness.
Aside from the improved man
agement of the state industries and
the elimination of personal favor
itism and political considerations
therein, the more efficient admins
tration of all branches of the pub
lie service should appeal to the
taxpayers of this state said the
Governor. "Since the beginning of
our administration, November 90,
1921, there has been consistent
and successful effort to reduce ex-
penses, and improve service,
strengthen the credit of the state
of North Dakota among the invest
ors of the central and eastern
states"
The Governor reviewed the meth
Cd of handling the receivership of
closed banks. He said that when
he entered office he called con-
ference for the purpose of consid-
ering the advisability of concen-
trating the ,receivership system in
order to decrease the expenses and
increase the efficiency of the SER
vice. While the laws did not per-
nit this being done, concentration
was carried as far as possible, he
said, and expenses for 1922 were
$77,478.92 below those Of 1921 and
the service showed marked i'm
provement.' The legislature Of
1923 enacted law, he said, which
made possible the. unifications4 of
the receivership system under one
head, with the result that the ex-
penses have been reduced and the
efficiency increased to still great
er extent
Deposits Not Greatest
While many banks have closed in
the state, the Governor asserted
that 'the deposits of the closed
banks during this period were much
larger both in Montana and South
Dakota than in our state He de-
.clared he was happy to report that
in recent weeks "a number of the
closed banks have reopened, general
conditions are improving, and an in
creasing number of these banks
will be able to resume business be-
fore the close of this year.
When his administration assumed
office in the fall of 1921 hail war
rants were selling at discounts in
most cases 10 to 20 percent. This,
he said, was stopped, the warrants
that fall land winter sold through
the efforts of the administration at
three percent discount or less, a
better arrangement was made in
1922 and in 1923 warrants were paid
in full.
y BY these arrangements" he said,

additional money into the state

RESOLUTION ON
WAR ADOPTED
Methodist Demand That The
System be Ended

Springfield, Mass, May 23--The
following resolution on war was pre-
sented to the Methodist Episcopal
conference today by special COM
mittee:
Millions of our fellow men have
died heroically in war to end
war. What they undertook we
must finish by methods of peace
War is not inevitable. 1t is the
supreme enemy of mankind. It's fu-
tility is beyond question. Its con-
tinuance is the suicide of civiliza-
ton. We are determined to outlaw
the whole system.
The patriotism of the Methodist
Episcopal church has never been
challenged. Neither our motive nor
our loyalty must be mpugned when
we insist on the fulfillment of the
pledges made to the dead and assert
our Christian ideals for the living"

Hints Fol
Keeping Floor
Brig h t

Ut is such an easy matter to wash a
modern floor of linoleum that the
industrious housewife sometimes
overdoes the task. For frequent scrub
bings with hot water and strong soaps
and powders are not only likely to
shorten the life of the best lin0leum.
They are also quite unnecessary.
One of the primary purposes of
linoleum is to reduce homework. Its
smooth, shiny surface is unbroken by
dust collecting cracks, the bane of
wooden floors. Grease can't easily pene-
trate it nor does dirt cling to it. And
just little care in protecting this sur
face will keep the linoleum new-looking
and end for all time the heavy, dis
tasteful work of scrubbing floors.
The simplest way to protect the limo
leum surface is to wax it if your limo
leum is plain or inlaid, or to varnish it
If it is printed linoleum.
Waxing plain or inlaid linoleum gives
it dull, mellow sheen that adds great
ly to the attractiveness of your floor.

should be applied sparingly and rubbed

CHAPTER XXI
The Service OF King Louis

Meanwhile, some three months before
Colonel Bishop set out to reduce Tor

soul, had blown into its rockbound har-

days ahead of the frigate . in which
WOlverstone had sailed from Port Roy
al day before him.
In that snug anchorage he found his
fleet awaiting him-the four ships
which had been separated in that gale
off the Lesser Antilles, and some seven
hundred men composing their crews.

and Yberville, were on the jetty to re-
ceive him, and with them were some

Anon when ashore he was beset by
questioning buccaneers, it was from
their very questions that he gathered
exactly how matters stood, and per-

from her sister ships.
1.-THE Captain was ever modest

crowding round him. Its not his way
to be sounding out his. own praises.
Why, it was like this. We fell in with

him we took aboard Londan pimp

offer the captain the kings commission

his soul to hell for answer. And then

me at my word, and the London pimp

swallow it. We were kings men all, so

the command of Admiral van der Kuy-
len to REINFORCE the Jamaica fleet
against eventualities.
Bishop realized that this meant the
end of his supreme authority, even
though he should continue in Port Royal
as deputy-governor. Lord Julian, in the
lack Of direct news to himself, did not
know what it might mean to him. But
he had been very close and confidential
with Colonel Bishop regarding his hopes
of Arabella, and Colonel Bishop more
than ever, now that political events put
him in danger of being retired, was
anxious to enjoy the advantages of hav-
ing a man of Lord Julian's eminence for
his relative.
There is one obstacle in our path"
said his lordship. Captain Blood. The
girl is in love with him."
"The brazen baggage! By God! Ill
bring her to her senses"
Don't be a fool, Bishop. Listen,
man. She has a constant mind. AS
long as Blood lives she will wait for
him."
Then with 1;ood dead, perhaps she
will come 10 her silly Senses"
:Now you begin to show intelli-
gence," Lord Julian commended him.
THAT is the first essential STEP"
And here is our chance to take it."
Bishop warmed to a sort of enthu.
siasm. This war with France re-
moves all restrictions in the matter of
Tortuga. We are free to invest it in
the service of the crown. A victory
there and we establish ourselves in the
favor of this new government"

pulled thoughtfully at his lip. Bishop
laughed coarsely.
well hunt this rascal in his lair,
right under the beard of the King of
France, and we'll take him this time,
If we reduce Tortuga to a heap of
ashes"
On that expedition they sailed two
days lAter-which would be some three
months after Bloods departure-taking
every ship of the fleet, and several les
ser vessels as auxiliaries. To Arabella
and the world in general it was given
out that they were going to raid French
Hispaniola.
