DONATE HUGE SUM TO LEGION FOR MEMORIAL BUILDING The North Dakota department of The American Legion has been ad- vised that the board of directors of the Knights of Columbus has voted to offer The American Legion $5,- 000,000 for the purpose of erecting a memorial building in Washingtou. The sum represents the balance of the $40,000,000 collected by the Knights of Columbus for war pur- poses. In the statement making public the offer the Knights of Columbus say: "The building will be a memorial to our hero dead for their parents and other relatives, and an inspira- tion to the living and to future gen- erations .who will see in it a symbol of the sacrifices of these dead and find «in it an incentive to serve their country as unselfishly In the future. "A suitable site must be obtained, preferably by act of congress. "The offer is open to The Ameri- . can Legion until July 1, 1921." * ' "• CONGRESSMAN YOUNG IN APPEAL FOR MORE CARS TO SHIP GRAIN ^ St. Paul, Oct. 11.—P. E.

Brinton, fonherly side part- ner of Townley is on the stump against the big boss, for reasons that Brinton ought to know. At iMcKenzie, where he opened his campaign, Brintori gave F. W. Cathro, manager of the Bank of Nprth Dakota, an interesting point- er on how to increase the profits of the bank. Pointing to the fact that the etate bank is clipping coupons from state bonds which have not been sold,-^and crediting itself with 5 percent interest on $2,000,000 of bonds, as a profit of $100,000 a year Brinton suggested that there was no reasoh.why the profits should not be doubled, or trebled, or quad- rupled, by the simple process of in- creasing the interest rate on the unsold bonds. The bank would show a greater profit; nobody would be out a dime, and the} Cathro record tor efficiency in banking could be held before the farmers in a bright- er light. f (Mr. Brinton also had something to say about the importation of Bot- tineau products—-particularly mem- bers of the firm of Mcintosh & Cath- ro of Bottineau—to Bismarck. Mr. Cathro, who was getting about $3,000 a year in his bank at Bottineau, gets $10,000 from the state, said Brinton. Then W. R, Mcintosh," Cathro's partner in the Bottineau bank, was brought to Bismarck and given $5,000 a year. Next an employe of Mcintosh & Cathro was brought to the bank at an annual salary of$3,600. "Mr. Cathro is a smart man", concluded Brinton, when he totaled the three salaries-?—$18,500 a year —drawn by Cathro, Mcintosh and their former employe. Reports from McKenzie indicate that Brinton addressed , a good sized meeting, only'radical leaguers, who were instructed by William Prater, county league manager, to stay away, being absent.

Government Washington, Oct. 18.—Declaring that "some one must" "finance this year's crops, George P. Hampton, managing director of the farmers national council, today wrote the fed- eral reserve board suggesting that in event the board definitely, decides against making an effort to get its members to discount farm paper, and warehouse receipts the government borrow money and deposit it in na- tional banks, to be loa*ned to farm- ers at not more than 1 per cent in excess of the rate the government pays. Farmers thus would be able, Mr. Hampton said, to hold at least a part of their crops until they can get cost of production plus a reasonable profit Or until there is an effective consump- tion demand. Either the primary producer or those who are seeking to get control of farm products and who ar,e able to get credit from some source must finance the crop, the latter said. "The men seeking to corner agri- cultural products will not reduce *he price at which they sell crops, any sooner than they have to," Mr. Hampton declared. "The law of supply and demand will be unavail- ing in case these hoarders can ob- tain hn embargo on importation of farm produets in crude condition-as it is intimated they intend to do." PILOT HAMILTON HAS CLOSE CALL NEAR ECKLESON Pilot Hamilton who flew over and around Jamestown the past week met with considerable misfortune on Saturday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock a half mile north Eckelson. The machine had landed, in a field and in some manner caught fire. Two little boys, Clarence Knutson and Tom Conlin, the former a grandson of E. J. Clamp of this city, noticed the machine and ran over and found (Hamilton unconscious. They notified Mrs. Martin Conlin and Mrs. MacLain neighbors who rushed to the assistance of Mr. Hamilton and dragged him away from the blazing machine just in time. He was unconscious for some time and it was with difficulty that his name was learned. Mrs. Hamil- ton, who was in Fargo, was tele- graphed ton and took her husband back to Fargo. It is thot that the accident was caused by the explosion of the gas- olene tank and that the aviator was either hit by the' propeller or the explosion stunned him. The frame- work bf the plane still stands in the Conlin field and was viewed by num- erous parties Sunday. The machine belonged to a iLaMoure man who carried $2700 insurance.

BRINTON IN ATTACK ON MANAGER dF BANK

J. A. Brinton, fonherly side part­ner of Townley is on the stump against the big boss, for reasons that Brinton ought to know.

At iMcKenzie, where he opened his campaign, Brintori gave F. W. Cathro, manager of the Bank of Nprth Dakota, an interesting point­er on how to increase the profits of the bank. Pointing to the fact that the etate bank is clipping coupons from state bonds which have not been sold,-^and crediting itself with 5 percent interest on $2,000,000 of bonds, as a profit of $100,000 a year Brinton suggested that there was no reasoh.why the profits should not be doubled, or trebled, or quad­rupled, by the simple process of in­creasing the interest rate on the unsold bonds. The bank would show a greater profit; nobody would be out a dime, and the} Cathro record tor efficiency in banking could be held before the farmers in a bright­er light. f

(Mr. Brinton also had something to say about the importation of Bot­tineau products—-particularly mem­bers of the firm of Mcintosh & Cath­ro of Bottineau—to Bismarck.

Mr. Cathro, who was getting about $3,000 a year in his bank at Bottineau, gets $10,000 from the state, said Brinton. •

Then W. R, Mcintosh," • Cathro's partner in the Bottineau bank, was brought to Bismarck and given $5,000 a year.

Next an employe of Mcintosh & Cathro was brought to the bank at an annual salary of$3,600.

"Mr. Cathro is a smart man", concluded Brinton, when he totaled the three salaries-?—$18,500 a year —drawn by Cathro, Mcintosh and their former employe.

Reports from McKenzie indicate that Brinton addressed , a good sized meeting, only'radical leaguers, who were instructed by William Prater, county league manager, to stay away, being absent.

Government Washington, Oct. 18.—Declaring

that "some one must" "finance this year's crops, George P. Hampton, managing director of the farmers national council, today wrote the fed­eral reserve board suggesting that in event the board definitely, decides against making an effort to get its members to discount farm paper, and warehouse receipts the government borrow money and deposit it in na­tional banks, to be loa*ned to farm­ers at not more than 1 per cent in excess of the rate the government pays.

Farmers thus would be able, Mr. Hampton said, to hold at least a part of their crops until they can get cost of production plus a reasonable profit Or until there is an effective consump­tion demand.

Either the primary producer or those who are seeking to get control of farm products and who ar,e able to get credit from some source must finance the crop, the latter said.

"The men seeking to corner agri­cultural products will not reduce *he price at which they sell crops, any sooner than they have to," Mr. Hampton declared. "The law of supply and demand will be unavail­ing in case these hoarders can ob­tain hn embargo on importation of farm produets in crude condition-as it is intimated they intend to do."

PILOT HAMILTON HAS CLOSE CALL

NEAR ECKLESON Pilot Hamilton who flew over and

around Jamestown the past week met with considerable misfortune on Saturday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock a half mile north Eckelson. The machine had landed, in a field and in some manner caught fire. Two little boys, Clarence Knutson and Tom Conlin, the former a grandson of E. J. Clamp of this city, noticed the machine and ran over and found (Hamilton unconscious. They notified Mrs. Martin Conlin and Mrs. MacLain neighbors who rushed to the assistance of Mr. Hamilton and dragged him away from the blazing machine just in time. He was unconscious for some time and it was with difficulty that his name was learned. Mrs. Hamil­ton, who was in Fargo, was tele­graphed ton and took her husband back to Fargo.

It is thot that the accident was caused by the explosion of the gas­olene tank and that the aviator was either hit by the' propeller or the explosion stunned him. The frame­work bf the plane still stands in the Conlin field and was viewed by num­erous parties Sunday. The machine belonged to a iLaMoure man who carried $2700 insurance.
