FISHER SHOWS
BOND DECREASE
North Dakota School Bonds
Decrease While Farm Loans
Increase

Bonds issued by school board
throughout North Dakota have been
decreased approximately $1,000, 000
during the last year, G. A. Fisher,
state treasurer, told members of
Rotarian luncheon meeting here to-
day.
Fisher was one Of speakers from
the state capitol who have been CIV
ing series of talks at Rotarian
luncheon meetings to explain the
workings of the various state offices.
G. L. Spear, Burleigh county trca-
surer, was the speaker last week.
The total amount Of $11 800, 900,
issued in bonds to the various
schools throughout the state has
been decreased by approximately q
million and \ half dollars, but farm
loans, also issued by the state trea-
surer, increased approximately the
same amount, leaving the financial
condition of the state treasury in
the same condition it was in four
years ago, Fisher said.
He explained the decrease in the
school bonds by touching on the
condition of the rural banks q few
years ago, saying that their condi-
ton at the time was such that If the
school districts withdrew the amount
they had in the institutions, it would
leave the banks financially en-
barrassed. During the last year
the banks have strengthened them
selves to such an extent that the
school boards have been able to, with
draw their money and pay it on
bonds issued.
The cigarette tax, 4 subject of
much discussion throughout the
state for the last four years, was
the means of delivering an addition

RELIGION BASIS
FOR HUMANITY,
/ COOLIDGE SAYS
Greatest Service to World Is
to Perfect Our Own Moral
Progress

Washington, Oct. TO- Up Ad-
dressing the general convention of
the Episcopal church here today,
President Coolidge proclaimed re-
ligion to be necessary for the con-
tinuation Of American government
and the maintenance of those lib
critics and privileges which are char
acteristic of American life.
eve can not remind ourselves too
often" the chief executive said,
that our right to be free, the sup
port of our principles of justice,
our obligation to each other in our
domestic affairs, and our duty to hu-
mainly abroad, the confidence in
each other necessary to support our
social and economic relations, and
finally the fabric of our government
itself, all rest on religion.
IF the bonds of our religious con-
victions become loosened, the guar
antees which have been erected for
the protection Of life and liberty and
the vast body Of rights that lie be-
tween are gone"
Humanity Advances
The present convention and other
similar organizations were taken by
Mr.. Coolidge as evidence that "the
major forces of the world are ac-
lively and energetically engaged in
promoting the spiritual advance
ment" of humanity.
When" he continued, I'VE re-
member further that this movement
is steadily advancing through the
years, we realize that it pro-
vides a complete and devastating
answer to the Indifferent. the cynic,
and the pessimist. We cannot doubt
that the world is growing better"
Has Far to Go
This conviction should not blind
the country to ''the enormous work
that yet remains to be performed
and the long distance that must still
be travelled before the goal Of hu-
man perfection is reached" the
president added. "There are almost
whole continents still to be
reached and large masses of people
everywhere still to be given the adj
vantages of modern civilization"
Mr.. Coolidge warned his audience
that Americas influence in spread
ing its faith abroad will be largely
dependent upon it's condition at
home. "The light which we shed for
others will depend upon the intensity
of the flame which we create for our
selves" he said, adding that there
fore 1.-THE greatest service which we
can perform for the world is to per-
feet our own moral progress. If
we can do that we need have no
fear concerning the helpful influence
we shall supply to others"

ened a meat market on Third

ness. The room and furniture are
Hastily painted and the place has an

their determination to keep a first

Returned.-Mr. Jacob Rowell,

where he lived year. during which
time he buried three OF his chill
dren. Himself and family were
sick most of the time, and they
finally got started for Minnesota,
more dead than alive. Mr.. Rowell
was in comfortable circumstances
when he left here, but when he
returned he was shorn of all his
means, and, as he expresses it,
thankful to get back once more
to Gods country" He is now firm
ly convinced that Minnesota Is the
best state in the Union.

20 Years Ago
Excerpts From the Herald
IF 20 Years Apo

The Sank Centre Fire depart
ment made good stop at a fire
Tuesday night.
The barn on the Lee and Gin
gerry property on Main Street
caught fire shortly after midnight
and for few minutes it looked as
though the lumber yard; the ele-
vator and other buildings might be
destroyed.
The fire department was on hand
in short order, however, and in a
very few minutes had the blaze
under control. In the barn was a
lot of hay, a quantity Of lime and
some cement. Mr.. Gingery's au-
tomobile and his horse were also
in the structure. Mr.. Gingery ar
rived on the scene shortly after the
alarm was given and got his horse
out. The auto was destroyed.
The lumber shed adjoining the
barn on the south was scorched a
little. The pressure on the mains
was excellent and with two strong
streams turned on, the firemen, by
active and heady work, held the
blaze to the barn.
The fact that there was a dance
going on at the city hall helped
some. Several of the firemen
were at the dance and they i'm
mediately got busy and others help
ed and the apparatus was at the
fire in short order. The alarm was
given by Alderman John Boutell
who saw smoke arising from the
building when he was on his way
home.
Mr.. Gingery places his loss at
$4,000. OF this amount all but
some $500 is on the automobile
which was not insured. The loss
on the barn is covered by insur-
ance. The structure was partial
ly consumed.
The fire department was the re-
cipient of many compliments for
the fine work done in handling the
fire.
Fishing is now excellent and To-
cal disciples of Isaac Walton are
daily making some fine catches.

Excerpts from the Herald
of so Years Ago


Mr.. Byron Carr, who has just re-
turned from trapping expedition
in the Northern Pacific country, re-
ports the country north and west
of Fergus Falls alive with grass
hoppers. Many farmers are not
putting in crops at all. He heard
a man offer to bet his team that
he could hatch twenty-five thous-
and hoppers out of a common pan
full of earth.
The road leading from Sank
Centre to the Little Sank grist
mill has been undergoing thorough
repairs during the past week, and
is now entirely free from stumps,
ruts and mud holes, and in excel
lent conditions for travelling. In
addition to the work done by the
tax of the Districts through which
the road passes, Mr.. A. Moore, for
the benefit of his mill, kept a crew
of his own at work at the same
time.
The telegraph line between st.
Cloud and Fergus Falls is under
going thorough repairs. UP to the
terminus of the railroad at Mel
rose cedar poles are being set, and
from thence the old poles are be-
ing replaced by such as can be
found along the line. The citizens
of Sank Centre furnish poles from
Melrose to this place, and the peo-
pie of Alexandria and Fergus from
here up, as an inducement for the
Company to keep up the line to
