Movie Picture Programs
 Presented to Classes

One of the joys of going to school these days is the viewing of the educa- tional films exhibited. Yesterday, two reels were shown at the high school. One of these pictured number of re- cent college football games and snow sports in California and Canada. The other film showed the Wellesly school girls exhibiting their skill in winter sports and horsemanship.
 Practically every week the grade classes and the high school have the opportunity to have a brief picture program. The local school has it's own moving picture outfit and when ready to operate the blinds are pulled down and the film projected on one of the white walls.

MANY CLOSED
BANKS NOTES
ARE RETURNED
Guaranty Fund Commission
Saves Over Million for
Depositors

Grand Forks, N. D., March 90
More than a million dollars worth of
collateral pledged for loans by North
Dakota banks since closed has been
rescued from sale at fraction of its
value and restored to the receiver of
closed banks for the benefit of the
depositors as result Of the efforts
OF the depositors guaranty fund
commission acting in cooperation
with the attorney generals office and
the receiver in preventing fore
closures on such collateral
In one of the nine districts in
which the closed banks of the state
are divided for receivership purposes
$27O, 900 Of such pledged paper has
been recovered and in another $l40,-
600, according to George A. Bangs ol
Grand Forks who has been the at
torney for the guaranty fund COM
mission in much of this work.
The work done by the North Da-
kota Guaranty fund commission
along this line has' been largely
pioneer in it's nature, but the eff
cheney Of its work is shown by the
fact that many of its plans, forms
agreements, etc, have been copied
and are now in use in other states.
Over a million dollars have already
been conserved in the interests Of
the depositOrs in closed banks by the
method used and eventually there
will undoubtedly be a return of sew
eral million dollars more.
incidentally under. the plan adopt
ed Of having one general receiver for
closed banks the expense Of ad-
ministering the affairs Of such insti-
tutions has been materially reduced.
The number of people employed has
been cut from 200 to 70, with a re-
duction of expense from $4,000 to
$4,000 per month.
The cost Of realizing on the assets
Of closed banks has also been ma
terially reduced, under the new, sys-
tenn of receivership. Under the old
plan the expenses of collection ate
up approximately 73 percent of the
money collected while under the new
plan with one general receiver for
all closed banks the cost is only lS
percent.
Cost of collection of pledged paper
as reported by the pledges now
ranges from to Is percent and the
PLEDGES are now generally cooper
ating heartily with the receiver of
closed banks.

WORK TO BE RUSHED

Grand Forks, N. D., March 90
The first definite move toward the
long sought diversion of the Miss

and into Devils Lake to raise the
level of that body of water, will soon
be made, according to DR.. A. G.
Leonard, director of the state geolo-
gical survey.
Geology experts from the state un-
iversity here, including Dr.. Leonard.
will cooperate with the. state en-
iEineers in compiling Typographical
maps of certain areas in the state
and the first to be made will pro-
badly cover Ramsey, Benson and
Pierce counties, according to DR..
Leonard.
These will be started some time

An appropriation from the state
legislature for $685. will be match

SPRING WHEAT
ACREAGBGR0WS
Fourteen Per Cent Increase
Reported, by Washington

Washington. Mar. 20.-A tendency
toward general expansion of farm
crop acreages this year was noted
in an "intentions to plant report by
the department of agriculture. which
issued with it virtual warning that
too great production would result in
lower prices.
ut seems doubtful, the statement
said. If the general expansion of
production contemplated by the
farmers would be to their best in
terests. Increased returns for the
crops of 1924 were largely due to
reduced supplies, either in this coun-
try or abroad, rather than to any
increase in demand. The outlook in
dicates that any marked expansion in
most lines would tend to lower prices
and result in less satisfactory re-
turns to farmers.
IF reported intentions are carried
out, the acreage in spring wheat
will be increased IA percent, or near
ly 2.5OO,OOO acres. Winter wheat
seedlings last fall were increased 6.5
percent over the previous year. Al
lowing for average abandonment
however, the increase in winter
wheat area to be harvested would be
about as percent greater than last
year, and the increase in all wheat
would be about z percent or about
$500, 900 acres.
IF farmers generally carry ou,
their intentions as reported March
l, corn acreage will be increased by
2.3 percent above that grown for har-
vest last year. This would make the
corn acreage in 1925 percent above
the 1923 acreage and more than 4
percent larger than 1922. Farmers
who are intending to produce corn
in excess of their own feeding re-
quirements should not expect to re.
ceive as high price for their sur.
plus as has prevailed for the 1924
crops"
Farmers intend to plant 4 percent
less area to potatoes, the report
stated, and 3.3 percent less to flax.

cent more barley, 29.5 percent more

EARLY SPRING
NOW DOUBTFUL
Snow Late This Month Brings
Delay in State

Prospects of an unusually early
spring opening in North Dakota, in
indicated two weeks ago, are now
doubtful, according to H. o. Her
brandson, federal statistician for the
state, who issued his midmonth crop
notes. He reports that rye condi-
tions should be satisfactory.
"North Dakota was practically
bare of snow the first part Of the
month until the 10TH" he reports.
"Much snow fell over the state the
next two days, which still remains
unmelted.

tinue to move to southern states as

"Feed is very abundant. The range

LORD CURZ0N.
NOTED ENGLISH
LEADER, DIES
Prominent British Political
Figure Succumb bs After
Long Illness
HELD HIGH PLACE
Member of Imperial Cabinet
in Coalition Government
During World War

London, March 2O.-Marquis Cur
zon Of Kedleston, lord president of
the council, died this morning.
Death came at 5:35 O'Clock. His
physicians had been with him
throughout the night.
They were convinced that the signs
they saw late Thursday evening por-
tended death. The indications Of his
passing then were SO marked that
they did not conceal their opinion
from the public and announced in
their bulletin that the patients con-
dition was extreme grave.
The marquis collapsed on March s
at Cambridge while dressing to at
tend public dinner. 1t was said at
the time that he had suffered from a
|hemorrhage. All his immediate en-
gagements were cancelled and he was
brought back to London the follow
ing day.
On March 8 he underwent a serious
operation, and since that time he had
gradually failed.
The Marques Curzon George Ma
thaniel Curzon from the cradle to
the tomb, exemplified to perfection
in every detail the type Of superior
personality known as the ruling aris-
tocrat. He was bred for public life
and followed the career Of politics
and government with such success
that he held almost every great Of
flee under the crown except the
highest Of all-the post Of prime
minister. Ironically enough, it was
the honors he accumulated while
working his way toward the premier
SHIP which, more than anything else,
initiated against his ambition for
the post and, when it seemed almost
surely his, kept it from him. Had
he been born 30 years earlier he un
doubtedly would have become prime
minister. When he came to the
threshold of that office, it was in
1923, the day of noble lords occupy
ing No. 10 Downing Street had set.
Prime ministers no longer were NOM
mated from the aristocracy, but from
the Commons.
Like many other young men who
came to be statesmen of the British
Empire and peers Of the realm, Lord
Curzon was trained at Eton and Bal
liol College, Oxford. At the latter
he was president Of the Union, the
all-embracing students organization,
many of whose leaders in after life
became prominent.
Upon quitting the cloisters Of Ok
ford with high honors, young Cur
zon polished off his university edu-
cation with travel. Having become
familiar with Paris, Rome. Vienna
and the Rhine during his vacations
at Oxford. he passed these places by
for more extensive tours and went
into Central Asia, to Persia, Siam,
Korea, Indo-C China and the Pamirs.
He had the leisure and the purse and

TORNADO CASUALTY TOLL MOUNTS
FACTS FOR WAGE-EARNERS
How High Taxes Cut Down Your Wages

1t is not what you earn in money that helps you
get on in the world; it's what you must pay out to
live and what you can save that provides for your
comfort.
Lets'say you earn about $4,000 week, or about
$2,60O.00, which is pretty good salary.
If you make a budget you plan to pay so much
for rent, on your home, so much for clothing,
food, etc.
But you overlook the biggest item of expense in
you pay taxes directly or indirectly.
Every year you pay out about one-sixth of your
income in taxes, more than $4OO if you earn
$4,000.
Some Of it goes to Uncle Sam, the state, county
but the most goes for your schools and your city.
In Bismarck big share also goes for public i'm
provements.
The rest goes for taxes in the things which you
buy, because the seller must pay taxes and must
charge it to his cost of doing business
High taxes cut your income; lower taxes will
decrease the cost of the things you pay your money
out for, your expenses.
Think of that on April 9TH.
