Al- len, recently elected president of the state normal school here, ha staken active charge as head of the institu- tion, coming directly’ from the state normal” ‘college at “Carbondale, IIL, where he has been engaged for many years as professor and as vice-presi- dent. : Dr. Allen was graduated from Carle ton college, Northfie.d, Minn., afd re- ceived the. bachelor’s degree in 1894. Immediately following ...s graduation at Carleton, he was called to the head of the department of foreign lang- uages at Carbondale, which position he left to come to Valley City. In school administrator, Dr. Allen has continued his studies and in 1903 the university of Chicago conferred upon him the master’s degree. He received the degree of doctor of philosophy at the same institution in 1913, and in the game year was elected vico-presi- dent of the normal college at Carbon- dale. Since that time he has also had charge of the busines saffairs of the institution. Ss Dr. Allen is a member of the honor- ary scholastic fraterniay, Phi Beta Kappa, and.has served as president of the Southern Illinois Education as- sociation. As acting president of the Carbondale school during long inter- ims of the president’s absence he has gained a valuable experience as head of a large educational institution. Fac- ulty members, students, alumni and citizens look forward to a period of excellent progress for the Valley City state normal school. + 8 8 As a result of an urgent demand for non-resident work from teachers throughout the state, the normal school has decided to give credit for 'a certain number of subjects complet- ed by correspondence. It is hoped that this arrangement will furnish a ‘needed opportunity to finish, the Nor- mal school courses to many teachers and prospective teachers who other- wise would be unable to complete their preparation for teaching. -The arrangement will also give teachers of rural, graded and consolidated schools opportunity to continue their professional’ training. while teaching. ee 8 The Normal school is @perating un- {der the quarantinS regulations issued by the government to govern board- ing schools.

INVESTORS LOST ALWAYS| What Happened in Minnesota! When. Debt Limit Was | Boosted to Skies. Fargo, N. D., ‘Nov. 4.--In conn tion with the constitutional amend- ments to be voted oi next Tuesday; with reference to ‘unlisted bonding of} the state and guaranteeing of bonds facts gathered from Prof. Scott's “Re-; pudiation of State Debts" will be of interest to the Voters of North Da- kota. Ten States. Experimented. The following ten states and also the state of ‘Minnesota during - the | period between 1842 and 1870 did the} very things that the proposed amend- ments want North’ Dakota to do. They became liable upon bonds in aid of, rivate business corporations and con- erns. Virginia, North arolina, South ;Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama. ; Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and | Tennessee. These states were,in 1870, liable on bonds in aid of business enterprises in the aggregate sum of over $263,- 000,000. . i Undertaking Failed. Most of these undertakings failed, | or were partly. or wholly unsuccess-} |ful.,,.The business in support of which j these bonds were. issued ‘was repre-| sented by railroading, building of | plank roads with toll privileges, canal construction, navigation companies, ; the state of Florida having become li- able on bonds in the sum of $80,000 in aid of the Crocodile Navigation com- pany, etc. As a result of this experiment in private business, , the states were baywkrupted. They qauldnot. meet the. obligation of these bonds. The tax- payers groaned under insufferable tax burdens. The development of the states was checked and retarded. Their credit was ruined and their hon- or compromised. Investors Lost. There were lost to small investors, as weil as large, millions'of dollars invested in these bonds. iNobte the effert:on the credit of the state., The, value of the sedtitities ~ the state of Arkansas, during this ‘period fell at times as low as 7 cents on the dollar. The average value of its bonds and securities from 1872 to 1879 was 19 cents on the dollar! The average value for North Carolina for the samo period was 25 cents on the dollar. Imagine a bond of-a state for $100, selling at only $25 or $19. Yet such is the result of unlimited state bonding and guaranteeing of | bonds. During this same period the bonds of'little Rhode Island sold on th eaver- ave of $1.04 on the dollar. Why? Be cause this state was son a sound fi- nancial basis and did. not permit the issuing of unlimited bonds, nor the guaranteeing of bonds. For the same period Connecticut was $1.04; Massa- chusetts. was $1.03; New ork $1.10; Maryland $1.02 and so n for the states that were on a sound basis. ‘Every state that experimented with bonds for private business burned her fingers and had the sad and shameful experience above related. Voters of North Dakota should learn; from the experience of other states. | Minnesota’s Experiment. The proposed amendments remove all debt limits. This is admitted by Mr. Twnley and the state administra- tion. The purpose is to enable North Dakota to go into any or all busi- ness as-deep as speculators may wish. Listen to the experience of Minneso- ta when the lid was removed from the debt limit. The original constitution of Minnesota had a debt limit of $250,000. ‘North Dakota now has a; limit of $200,000.

RRENDERS GERMANY'SCHIEF ALLY ELIMINATED =~. FROM WORLD STRUGGLE BY FORMAL Nlows: Washington, Nov. 4.—Austria-Hungary, or what remains of that once powerful empire, after its recent internal disintegration, was: de- finitely eliminated from the war at 9 o’clock this morning. At that hour, 3 p.m. in Rome and Vienna, the armistice prepared by the supreme war council and accepted by the Austrians became effective. Gérmany is thus left to battle alone until such time as she accepts the armistice terms now in preparation at Versailles or surrenders. ‘The terms of the armistice under which the Austrian - Hungarian troops laid down their arms were received today at the state department. FLU VACCINE EXPERTS NOT OF MAYO BROS. Health Authorities Urge Public To Go Slow in Being Innoculated. EXPERTS MAY BE FAKIRS Rochester, Minn., Hospital and Dr. C. J. McGurren Deny Knowledge of Them. A serious question exists as to the integrity of several alleged physicians who have operated in the Bismarck territory for a week or more, adminis- tering an alleged anti-flu serum or vaccine and representing themselves, in some instances, it is said, as repre- sentatives ofthe’ Mayo Bros, clinic at Rochester, Minn. Because these so-called “emergency” physicans did not operate throigh or cooperate with local health officers; because, in fact, they seemed anxious to avoid contact with local health of- ficers, Dr. F. KR. Smyth, assistand surgeon of the U. S. pudlic health ser- vice for North Dakota, last week un- dertook an investigation which dis- oloses these facts: i 4 Nobody ‘Knows Them. Dr. C. J. MeGurren, secretary of the state board of health and field direct- or of the United Slates public health service, has no knowledge of emerg- ency physicians from Mayo [Pros. using vaccine and operating in the vi- cinity of Linton, Emmons county {Mayo Bros. of Rochester, Minn., dis- claim all knowledge of physicians from their hospital doing emergency work, or using vaccine in North Da- kota. The public is therefore justified, Bigmarck health officers believe, in viewing these “emergency doctors’” and their “vaccine” with some skepti- cism. . Only one of these doctors has been identified by name. He was operating last week at Linton. So far as can be learned he did not person- ally state that he represented Mayo Bros, nor that he: was using their vaccine. This impression became current, however, and it may be pos- sible that the public is deceiving it- self. Swyth Takes Initiative. When Dr. Smyth read in The Trib- une last week that “Emergency phys!- cians from Mayo-:Bros. hospital at Ro- chester, Minn. several days ministering to the needs of the rural districts,” ne wired C. J. McGurren at Devils Lake, director of U. S. public health service, as fol- “Dr. Strauss Knows nothing about these physicians, and they ap- parently do not cooperate with the health officials. Do you know any- thing about it. Same physicians said to be operating around Linton, Em- mons county.” Dr. McGurren immedjately replied, denying any knowledge of emergency physicians from Mayo Bros. operating in the state or using anti-flu vaccine. Dr. V. J. LaRose, chairman of the North Dakota medical advisory board, conducted a similar investigation with the same results. Either the public has been imposed upon, or it has de- ceived itself in this matter. In either case, health authorities urge that peo- ple use caution in submitting to inoc- ulations with any so-called anti-flu vaccine at the hands of unknown phy- sicians. yp Experimental Stage. “The! use of serums or vaccines for the cure or prevention of influenza is still im the experimental stage,” advised Dr. Smyth today, “although statistical evidence would indicate that the use of influenza vaccine has some prophylactic value. “Most health authorities are con- servative in regard to advocating the general use of vaccines, and urge that other safeguards should not be neg- lected. “People should especially be on their guard against irresponsible in- dividuals traveling around the coun- try and claiming to be authorized by the state or federal health authorities to administer vaccines, usually for @ small fee. “All government and other reliable serums or vaccines will be distributed. to. physicians through acc’ health officials. “Tt is dangerous to use such prep- have been here for! TERMS OF ARMISTICE ‘Terms of armitice under whieh the land and sea forces of what was once the Austro-Hungarian empire haye laid down their arms was announced today simultancously in Washington and allied eap- itals. They accomplish complete surrender and open Austrian and Hungarian territory for American and allied operations against Germany. From this drastie document, it may be stattd, may be bleaned an accurate outline of conditions in the supreme war counci] at Ver- silles under which Germany may have a cessation of hostilities. COMPLETE DEMOBILIZATION The terms under which the debacle on the Italian front ended today at 3 P. M. (9 A. M. U.S. Time) ineluded complete demobiliza- tion of Austrian forces, surrender of one-half of all artillery and mil- itary equipment oceupation by allied and American forees of such stragetic places to be later selected, use of Austrian railroads for use against Germany, evacuation of all occupied territory leaving behind all supplies, including coal, surrender of a portion of the Austrian surface and submarine fleet and disarmament of others under American and allicd control; surrender of all.German submarines in | Austrian waters, repatriation of allied and American prisoners with- out reciprocity. EVACUATION OF TERRITORY Evacuation of Austrian territory roughly corresponds to the boundary line claimed by Ltaly under the Italia-Irredentia or Treaty of London program, The right of occupation by allied forces is re- served, local authorities to maintain order under allied supervisoin.

Ree N CONTROL YOUR COUNTY COMM Substantial Burleigh county property owners. opposed to su to unlimited indebtedness and a wholesale bonding proposition which w slap a mortgage on every foot of soil in the county, have an opportunity to elect to the county commission two men who will serve the interests of their- constituents and who will not take orders from the Socialistic gang at St. Paul which is endeavoring to fasten on this state the doctrines of Eastman, Kate O'Hare, Haywood and Debs. It was with general rejoicing that voters in the First commissioner dis- trict received the announcement that Robert 8. Boyd had consented to become a candidate for commissioner. Mr. Boyd will make the race to- morrow on stickers. This is a partial handicap, but it is one which Mr. Boyd should easily overcome. Robert R. Boyd was one of the tirst settlers in the township which bears his name. He settled here when Burleigh county was young. and he has devoted all of his days to building up the community. Personally, he has prospered, and he is today one of the most substantial citizens in Burleigh County. His high standing as a citizen, his ability, his sound judgment, his honesty and his independence will make him an ideal member of the county board. to which he should be elected tomorrow by an overwhelming majority. Bismarck voters in Wards two, four, five and six will have an opportunity to cast their ballot for Robert R. Boyd. He should receive every vote cast in these wards. His majority in the rural precincts will be large, and if Bismarck stands by its guns, his election will be an as- sured fact. If you are not supplied with stickers write his name in on the ballot. In the Third district there is presented on the Democratic ticket as a candidate for county commissioner L. ©. Peterson of Wilton, a man of the same high calibre and undisputed ability. Mr. Peterson has paid the high- est price than can be exacted of an American patriot—he gave to the cause of humanity and to the defense of his céuntry his son, whose body lies today somewhere in the shell-torn fieldsof France.
