NORTH DAKOTA PUTS PROGRAM INTO EFFECT

Northwestern State Starts Bank, Home Association, and Other Phases of Program. (By Associated Press) FARGO, N. D., Aug. 4. The industrial program of the National Nonpartisan league, which was endorsed by the voters of North Dakota at a special referendum election on June 26, is being put into operation. The bank of North Dakota, in which all state, county and municipal funds are to be deposited under the new laws. Is in operation, but is not yet ready to make loans and handle deposits on a big scale. The bank now employs twenty per sons with an annual payroll of $50,000. The bank's resources will be more than $31,000,000. Public funds totaling $21,000,000 have been reported and there are state bonds of $10,000,000. Only about $100,000 worth of bank bonds have been sold in the state, but bank officials explain this by saying investors held off pending the outcome of the referendum. The bank had planned to sell $500,000 worth of bonds. When the institution is in full operation a statement similar to those from the federal reserve banks will be issued monthly outlining conditions over the state. J. R. Waters, formerly 6tate bank examiner, is head of the bank, and F. W. Cathro, for thirty years a North Dakota banker, is director general. Industrial Commission Rules. The bank will provide for carrying out the industrial program, and an industrial commission will control the state-owned industries to be established. The Home Building association, which will provide funds for persons desiring to build homes, is expected to be in operation soon. The Mill and Elevator association, in charge of the league's wheat marketing and distributing system, has been inspecting mills and elevators with a view to purchasing two or three to start the experiment. The state is not expected to start an extensive building program for several months. Those directing the work express confidence that every phase of the program will meet with success, despite strong opposition which they say is being offered by league opon-ents.

SPECTACULAR IS WORK OF YANKS IN MEXICO, REPORT

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4 Official detailed reports on the recent punitive expedition into Juarez to drive out Villa, tropps, when the battle there threathened lives of Americans in El Paso, give especial praise to the work of both the artillery and the cavalry. It is said that some of the achievements of the second battalion of the 82nd field artillery, under command of Lieutenant Colonel H. L. Newbold were as spectacular as any in the great war when the small nature of the engagement is taken into consideration. The reports say Colonel Newbold had his men and guns in so closely behind the skirmish line that they were ready to fire before the infantry had made contact, and the instant the command to fire was given, the phrapnel began sweeping the fence , -....,rs ennd 'nd of the race track, vrhero the Villa troops were, .... '. target. Like Crack 75's Colonel Newbold's batteries got off

tiiAiy-lour rounus with such sue-" p"l accuracy that observers report the action like a performance of the prize gun teams in France which made new records with the French 75's. When the infantry advanced, every point of vantage around the Mexican positions was found riddled with steel bullets. The cavalry comes in for a full measure of praise for its rapid movement to cut off the main rebel body while the performance of the engineers in throwing across the Rio Grande in less than hour, a pontoon bridge capable of bearing the heaviest equipment is reported as having set new records in that line. The "doughboys" of the infantry of course came in for their usual share of praise which is in no way dimmed by the mention of the success of the engineers, cavalry and artillery. NAME STREET FOR ALLIES

Tuberculin Test Only I

for rare area Lame (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 4. Cattle, other than pure bred stock, need not

be subjected to a tuberculin test before sale. In interpreting the new regulation of the state live stock sanitary board on the subject. Dr. Northrup, state vetrinarian, said the new regulation is designed to protect the purchaser of a pure bred animal desiring to build up his own herd, and wh'ch may be jeopardized by association with an infected animal. Scrub stock is not included in the required tuberculin test of cattle sold at public sale or auction for the reason that as rule Dr. Northrup says, the beeef value is practically the same as the purchase price paid for dairy stock. The regulation requires that pure bred cattle to be sold at public sale, either for shipment within or without the state except that they be from an accreditated herd (which means that such cattle have been found free from tubreculosis) must be tested for tuberculosis by an authorized veterinarian within thirty days prior to the date of sale and the complete records filed with the state veterinarian before the cattle are shipped. Infected animals will be quarantined.

MINES, RAILROADS, FINANCIALLY SICK, IS ENGLISH REPORT

(By Associated Press) LONDON, Aug. 4. British railways and coal mines are at present financal invalids. Both of these industries still are controlled by the government, under war legislation. Proposals that both should be nationalized are among the most important reconstruction plans now being agitated here. The British railways are managed by the new Ministry of Transport with a guarantee of pre-war profits to the shareholders. The coal mines are operated by a controller who fixes the compensation of the mine owners. "The transport systems of the country are financially in a semi-paralyzed state," the Minister of Transport, Sir Eric Geddes, recently told the House of Commons. The balance sheet of the railroads for the coming year, as he forecast it, will show a loss of from 71,000,000 to 73,000,000. against an annual profit of about 43,000,000 for the five last years before the war. Cost Millions More. The annual wage bill of the railways before the war was about 50.000,000, and Sir Eric estimates the increased war wages and other concessions at 57,000,000, the eighthour day and other new concessions to cost from 20,000,000 to 25,000000, and the extra cost of materials and coal 27,000,000. making the increased cost of running the railroads 104,000,000 to 107.000,000, without taking into account the great depreciation of plant during the war. Some financiers contest these figures strongly and assert that the deficit is merely a paper one due to failure in bookkeeping to charge the immense government traffic at rates which private traffic would cost, and that the financial outlook is nowise as bad as Sir Eric's view of it. The deficits of the railways and mines are defrayed under present arrangements, the former directly from the treasury out of the pockets of the taxpayers, the latter by the whole community through official advances In the pfice of coal.

On July 14 the British government announced that the price of coal would be increased six shillings a ton. This, however, is not to take effect for six months.

Thieves Steal Los Angeles

House; Leave Lot Intact

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aug. 4. Steal

ing a house is the newest form of depredation in Long Beach. E. L. Jones,

Born In County Before 1882; Records Incomplete Were you born In Wayne county before February 1, 1882?

COMPANIES FORM IN ENGLAND TO GET LOST TREASURES

LONDON, Aug. 4. Expeditions for recovering lost wealtn ttom the sea have always lured the adventurous. And today this kind of enterprise offers greater attractions than ever. Treasure seekers need no longer waste their energies in search of mythical pirate hoards or legendary Spanish galleons. Many millions' worth of property have gone down during the last four and a half yearB. While war lasted, the admiralty kept all salvage work in their own hands. But they have now decided to reopen it to civilian enterprise and to confine the naval plant to work on the Belgian coast. As a result private organizations such as the Liverpool Salvage association are restarting as quickly as they can. New companies are also being formed, for the scope of opportunity is world-wide, and holds promise of rich reward. Death Better Than Prohibition; Youth Tries To Kill Self
