MOVEMENT
EXPECTED EARLIER
Limited Feed in Western North
Dakota and Montana Areas
Is Responsible

Fargo, N. D., July 25.-Acording to
the information coming to the office
of the Greater North Dakota associa-
ton from western North Dakota and
Montana stockmen, railroad officials
and others, it is stated that the move
ment Of feeder livestock from the
ranges will be a little earlier this
year than usual OF account Of the
limited feed In some areas Of the
range country. Some stock, that or
dinarily would not be moved for 81
days. already has been shipped to va
rious points where pasture was avail
able. These shipments include sew
eral thousand head of breeding ewes
that are now for sale and can be de-
livered to buyers at any time. To
date no movement of feeder lambs
has been reported.
H. A. Richards, cashier of the Bank
of Miles City, and G H. Hunt, stock
man of Miles City, spent a part OF
the week at Hillsboro, Casselton and
Buffalo while looking over the pros
poets for selling feeder stock In this
territory and visiting with parties
who have made purchases Of them.
Richards said I'm past years the
greater part of our choice feeder
stock had been going to buyers In
Iowa, Illinois and Indiana, but the
results secured by Red River valley
farmers, who have been feeding, con-
vinces me that the North Dakota
feeders with their abundant and
cheap feed, with less transportation
cost and feeder in transit privileges
can make more money with stock
than the feeders in eastern states"
With all feed grains and low grades
Of wheat quoted at ruinously low
prices and with no immediate pros
pect for greatly improved prices, Of
ficers of the G.. N. D. say, farmers
having this cheap grain along with
corn and roughage that also is un-
salable, should consider purchasing
of stock and market the crops
through finished cattle, hogs and
sheep. For the next two months, B.
E. Groom and Gordon w. Randlett
of the association will devote the
greater part of the time to the live
stock programs of the association by
assisting in arranging for finances
for purchases, and by locating the
feeder stock wanted.

Menaced City

Deadwood. s. D., July 24.-P-
With several crews Of men guarding
against possible new outbreaks. for
est fires in the Black Hills, east and

The fires started Wednesday. More
than 1000 acres were burned over II
the area near Deadwood, while the
Tigerville blaze near Hill City In the
Harvey National Forest, ran oyer ap-
proximately $500 acres.
One fire advanced to within one
mile Of Deadwood before several hun
dred workers, including soldiers from
Fort Meade and ranchers, brought il
under control and kept it from cross
ing a road into the Two-Bit mining
camp and into timberlands adjoin-
ing the city.
Meanwhile flames swept forward
in the Teton National forest and
northeastern Wyoming, m~enacing at
least two large ranches, but they
had been checked in Yellowstone Ma
tional Park and the Dubois Dude
ranch country.
Losses mounted so rapidly forest
officials could not give an accurate
total, but estimated mor than 3d.
900 acres had been burned over and
the damage totaled several hundred
thousand dollars.
A crew of about 1000 composed
partly of Dude ranch guests who
volunteered, checked two fires that

Looted Bank at Kindred
Predict Shortage Of $4,000
Will Be Increased by Survey
Of Trust Funds

Fargo, July 24.-R-Possibility ex-
lists Of heavy populations in estate

cashier Of the Farmers and Merchants
bank of Kindred, N. D., who hanged
himself q month ago. and whose &C
counts In the bank were found $32,-
900 short In an examination by the
state bank examiners department
Thursday.
Erick Lee, wealthy director Of the
bank who entrusted all his affairs to
Dokken, says q large amount of cash
and securities is missing from his
safety deposit box, to which Dokken
had access. He believes Dokken may
have used these funds and other
trust funds in covering other short
ages in accounts Of the bank.
A complete audit Of the bank has
been ordered by Ole L. Engen of
Fargo, district manager for the re-
ceiver of closed banks.
According to p. L. Larson, deputy
examiner, Dokken had succeeded in
covering up his ~defalcations through
false entries on the books. abstracting
money from funds held in trust. His
system at first baffled bank officials
and examiners in their efforts to find
irregularities.
June II, Larson started the first
audit. That evening. Dokken went to
the bank and hanged himself. Leav-
ing q note saying he was worried lover

Heavy Withdrawals occurred after
his death and July Is the bank closed.
The closing of the bank was caused
by q run, rather than the cashiers
shortages, according to officials.
Before the heavy Withdrawals be-
gan, the bank had capital of about
$40, 900 and surplus Of $4,000. Its de-
posts totaled approximately 100000.

THOSE "FOREIGNERS-

Some of those folks who are so anx-
iOus to blame the sOcalled foreigners
for crime in this country likely got
severe setback when the report of
the Wickersham Commission on crime
reaching into more than a score of
cities showed that sin proportion to
their respective numbers the foreign
born commit considerably fewer
crimes than the native-born." The
commission asserted that when the
cry of America for Americans" was
raised, examination showed that the
Americans" who raised it were them
selves often the direct descendants of
immigrants.
However, crime is a thing that
would give us far less trouble if the
economic conditions were better
When people are at work making an
honest living and they have food,
shelter, contentment and happiness,
things always run smoother. 1t is in
times of depression and want that
crime is on the increase.

WORTHY OF PRAISE

How many have ever gone beyond
their depth in water? Those who
have, certainly know what a help
less feeling it gives one if he cannot
swim. To speak literally one is panic
stricken. Those of us who have ex-
perienced this can well appreciate the
bravery and presence of mind that
was required when w. L. Elmore of
Boston, airway pilot, and his radio
man dove under their sinking air.
plane to release a rubber life boat so
that IL passengers might be saved
after the plane had plunged into the
ocean when encountering fog on a
trip between Halifax and Boston.
Self preservation is the first law
of man but not for these men who
risked their lives in diving under a
lurching airplane to release a boat
that their charges might live. True
enough their lives were all at stake
even to the pilots and radio operators
but their thoughts were not on their
own safety, apparently. Incidentally

A MAN WHO UNDERSTANDS

Senator James COuZenS of Michigan,
who favors a special session of con-
gress for the enactment of laws and
the making of appropriations to aid
the states in caring for the unem-
ployed says that he does not agree
with the administration that the fed
eral government should offer nothing
but advice as it's share of the cost of
carrying the joblesS through the win
ter. The regular session of congress is
not before December which will be too
late to prepare for this winters re-
lief. However, Mr.. Couzens says, "it
is more important to me that the
unemployed be pro. erly cared fer than
it is to have my views adopted, so
am willing to adapt myself to the con-
ditions and aid in every way possible"
The senator has notified Mayor
Frank Murphy that he is prepared to
contribute S1,OOO,O0O this winter for
the relief of Detroit's army of unem-
ployed. The contribution is contin-
gent on the raising of 100000 more
among citizens of the Michigan me-
tropolis. However," Couzens added,
eff it is determined that the amount
l propose to have raised is too great
or too little, then l am willing to
agree to some other amount
Il know of no way to get jobs for
those who are willing to work. If
there is any way to get the jobs, of
course, everyone will agree that that
would be the most desirable thing
to do"
Senator Couzens is probably the
richest man in the United States Sen
ate but he is humanitarian, a man
who understands the common people
and it does one good to read of his
work and actions. If more of the
wealthy possessed hearts such as is
found in this good man and possessed
the same attitude toward the masses
the world would be better place in
which to live.

SOCIALISM
(Mille Laos County Times)


And now it is revealed that many
of the prominent state officials in
past Republican administrations from
the governor down made a practice
of doing their buying for their private
purposes through the state purchasing
agent. BY dealing through the state
agency they wereq able to buy goods
much less than through the usual
private channels of trade. Do you
remember how Republican politicians
have denounced the idea of the state
going into business" when the farm
ers suggested that their produce be
marketed through state agencies?
How they have denounced many ac-
tivities of the state doing anything of
this kind as socialism" yet here are
the state officials elected on such
issues, using the state as their private
buying agency. 1t is merely another
exhibitions of old human nature. Peo-
pie are in favor of that which benefits
themselves, regardless of how it af
fects anybody elses. -. You see it
is this way-if the Farmer-Labor ad-
ministration can" promptly clean up
the rotten mess that has been accumu-
lating for years under Republican adj
ministrations in Minnesota, Repub-
lican papers and politicians are going

LABOR DAY

Labor day has duel meaning to
most people in that it marks the day
when the laboring class is honored
throughout the country and also ush-
ers in the ringing of school bells to
call young America to it's studies, for
if school has not already started when
the first Monday in experimentation
day-comes then it is soon to start
afterward.
Ever since 1884 when a resolution
was presented by George R. Lloyd, one
of the knights of Labor, Labor day
has been observed throughout the
United States. At first all parades and
other forms of honor to Labor were
held on the first day of September
but later in most states the first Mon
day was set aside. 1t is observed in
most states, if not all, as legal holt
day and is appropriate in its capacity
of calling attention to the laboring
class of people who mean so much
to the progress and welfare of the
nation.
May the day gain in prestige and
meaning as the years go by!

THE LAST LAUGH
Capital Times. Madison, Wis.,

Capital Times. Madison, Wis.,
1t begins to look as if Oklahoma's
picturesque and determined governor,
alfalfa Bill" Murray, might yet have
the last laugh in his Oil field war.
When Gov. Murray called out the
troops to close Oklahoma's wells and
declared he was going to fight for
dollar-a-barrel oil, many people saw
in the action something not unlike
King Canute's effort to quell the angry
sea. Now, however, it is taking on
a different aspect.
First of all, productive Texas has
fallen into line. The legislature has
voted stringent new conservation
law, Gov. Sterling having threatened
to follow Gov. Murray's path if this
were not done.
On top of this, a large Oklahoma
refinery has already offered to pay
a dollar a barrel for crude oil from
the closed Oklahoma wells.
1t is just possible that Gov. Muir
ray was wiser than some of his critics.

GOOD PROFITS TO SOME

We will soon be approaching winter,
the third winter in our unfortunate
plight of depression, and unemploy-
ment continually increasing, farm
prices at low levels, farm mortgage
foreclosures, and tax delinquencies,
and yet in the first six months of 1881
we find among the financial aristocra-
cy increased corporation earnings.
This in the face of present day con-
ditions of course shows one of the un-
fortunate phazes of our present eco
nomic system.
In statistics prepared by R. l. Bar
mum, New York writer on finances,
it shows that three groups paid out
considerably more in dividends for the
first six months of 1881 than for the
same period of 1880. The figures for
the first six months of those two years
are as follows:
1881 1880
Banks and insurance
companies 1927, 1860, 900 $132,S6O, 900
Public utili-
ties 1880 624,765,00O 495,909, 900
panies - 55,375,0O0 41.060,000
Groups like these should be paying
more income taxes and they should
have been paying higher rates for a
