from the state board Of university
and school lands j. being urged upon
county appraisal boards by w. E.
Byerly, state land commissioner.
The Bank Of North Dakota, fed
cral land bank and most private
loan companies refuse to lear money
on farm land during tho winter
months when the ground is covered
with snow, Byerly pointed cut in q
ciruclar letter to county auditors.
The reason, he said, is that under
winter conditions it Is practically
impossible to make an intelligent
appraisal
Although the land board doesn't
want to insist in the discontinuance
of winter appraisals entirely, it in
sists on reliable information and
appraisal boards will be cxepcted to
hold up further apprai.sls until they
can examine the land. The only
exception is that one or more menu
bers of the appraisal board may
stand responsible for an appraisal
If they are already familiar with the
land on which = loan is sought.
Byerly specifies, howe er, that "the
department looks with disf:.vor on
any appraisals based on familiarity
with the land unless the board acts
from actual knowledge and not from
the knowledge of third or any in
tcrestcd pa'tics."
Wants First Class Security
The department wants to make
every reasonable loan asked Of it
but it also wants iirst-class security,
Byerly slid. "In other words, we
want to help the farmer 30 that he
will stay in the state, and hot buy
the land SO that he viii want to
leave the state," Byer.v said.
His reference to buying the land,
he explained, is due to the fact that
in some cases the land board has
been deceived as to the value Of
land on which loan was made and
grated 80 large q loan that the
owner felt he had obtained as much
in q loan as he would have been.able
to get had he offered it for sale. In
all such instances the loans have

On the dressing table, not far from
the murdered body Of Margaret
Odell, lay the jewel ease. It was
twisted out of shape by the terrific
leverage that had been necessary to
force it, and beside it lay brass
handled poker.
Vance had glanced but casually at
the different objects in the rooms,
but when he came to the dressing ta-
bic he paused abruptly. Taking out
his monocle, he adjusted i carefully
and leaned over the broken jewel
case.
This steel case" he said, was

Heath nodded his head approving

Work Out New Policies

Just before the close of the spe-
cial session of the legislature, called
by Governor A. G.. Sorlie principal
~ to investigate the affairs of the
state mill and elevator and deter
80 whether implied charges OF
dishonesty and attacks upon the in
t-s,rity of the chief executive and
the men in charge Of the mill were
justified, the senate fact-finding
committee presented a statement in
which the members asserted that
they had not in any manner ques-
toned the honesty and integrity
of the governor and the men in ac-
tive charge Of the management of
the mill, thereby giving the COVER
nor . clean bill as far as such
charges arc concerned.
The committee also stated that it
believes the terminal elevator will
be of increasing service to the peo-
pie Of North Dakota if the state
mill and elevator is left undis-
tributed and the management is
given an opportunity to work out
its new policies.
The statement, which was ordered
printed in the senate journal, fol-
lows:
"In view of the large amount of
controversy that has taken place
over the state mill and elevator
since the appointment Of your SEN
ate committee at the last session of
the legislature, we felt that, be-
cause of our close contact with the
affairs of that institution and be-
cause of this large amount of con-
troversy, it may not be amiss for

We have not felt that it was

 X nickel a week Is little enough for prosperous folk to contribute 10 such club. 4 dime week would be even better. But the chief signitl- canoe about the movement is the spirit of help that prevails in the community. It is the spirit of good will in action, It is the spirit which is not satisfied with the dispensing Christmas baskets once a year. but recognizes the need for help all the year, There always seems to be somebody in hard luck. in poor cir cumstances, in dire need; and so soon as some family in want is plac- ed on its feet, another similar case bchs up for attention

THE INEVITABLE

The inevitable is arriving. as us- ual. Down in New Jersey promoters have hit upon the first practical plan to make democracy safe for pedestrians and autoists alike. The place will be called Radburn, but that doesn't matter. The idea is to construct the sidewalk sections Of the fancy suburb at higher-or lower-leycl than the roadways for automobiles, so that women and children at walk or at play will not need to cross any highway at grade.
 The street entanglements such as we are experiencing everywhere arc becoming intoIerable. The street Of the future will be entirely apart from the sidewalks. Only most of us will not live to see that happy day

STAR CHAMBER SESSIONS

There may be times when city board Is justified in going into secret meeting. hut they are rare, The fire commissioners gave 8 little secret performance for the benefit Of firemen the other night and by this time 1t must be marvellng at the amount Of publicity attained,
 One good way to attain three times the amount of publicity rountlue business ought 10 get is to hold 3 star chamber meeting. The reporters always learn more about 1t than is good for the board holding the meeting, and the public effect is devastating.
 The question whether civic ser wants have the right to petition to the common council over the heads of their boards is one entailing sev- eraI viewpoints. As civic servants it may not be a proper method; as citizens they have this right, unless one is to conclude a civic servant is not citizen.
 The fire board got quite huffy about a matter which basically mat tered little. Even if William Judd, political chleftain. thought .o- we'll, this also mattered little. But whether the fire board, or any other board, is to make a practice Of secret sessions, with secret public decisions secretly arrived at-this matters much.
 As luck. fate or providence would have it, the reporters are not easily fooled. Nine times out of ten they know more about the why's and wherefores of the secret business than is good for the secret boards.
 Our advice is to invite the re- porters on the inside in order to keep them under control.

the trouble of appearing. Next day not . week or . month later. but next day-the Inc new street pave ment was being marred and 2 ditch was being dug for the sewer pipes. This also will be . neat job: but the pavement will never be the same. Somehow a new pavement. once it is dug up for ditchee. never again looks the same; and nine times out of ten the part where the sewer pipe was laid Is not returned to its pris- tine strength. In short time the pavement usually hogs along the length of the sewer pipes.
 This system Of putting in sewer pipes along newly paved street is to be condemned. The proper time to put down sewer pipes is before street is paved. not afterwards. The system indicates amaz zing lack of foresight.

BINGHAM AND SPANISH

Some criticism is heard i'll Wash that Senator Bingham of Connecti- cut is too smart. What in particular is an irrltant to the nerves IS that he knows his Spanish.
 The junior senator from Nut megia, as everyone knows. is not a tluehinE rose disliking to be seen. nor dumb waiter who cannot talk. He is on his feet just as often as opportunity offers-and he himself is the judge of opportunity. He can see and recognize an opportunity a mile away.
 But 1t is his uncanny knowledge about Spanish that has shown up his learning in a light that co-workers in the public service can scarcely endure. What are they to think of 3, senator, for instance, who will get up on his feet-once again-and read Latin- American treaty in Spanish and with unabashed yir- tuosity emit entire original sentences in that lingo. Then. at the end of the Spanish elocutionary exercise, look around in triumph, as much as 10 say, T beg to be corrected If any one can make a correction.''
 In parading an expert knowledge of Spanish, Senator Bingham shows he classifies as being "eminently human" What learned expositor of a. foreign or dead language does otherwise? The law books are filled with Latin maxims. and no one can be lawyer without knowing their meaning. or at least that is the case in most states. Latin and Greek references, usually proverbs and maxims used to be a regular stock in trade of writers on serious topics. and to certain extent the custom still prevails in writings not intend ed for wide popular consumption. The man or woman who can speak or write French doesn't let an op- portunity pass to parade the knowledge. although since the war some of the boys who thought they knew their French and were in France returned with a vastly diff ferent change of accent and pro- nunciation. or concluded they didn't care to talk French any more.
 When Senator Bingham "parades his learning" on occasion he simply follows the natural urge to display something he happens to possess, just like many another senator does or would like to do. The prejudice aroused amid envious listeners, however. is considerable: and if the senator keeps up his Spanish lessons long enough he can deliver all his talks in that language for all the at- tention the remainder of the class will pay to him. There are perils in being superior.
