Valley City was voted the honor of entertaining the 1920 convention of the North Dakota Bankers’ associa- tion and the thirty-sixth\ anniversary of ‘the organization of the North Da- kota Bankers’ association. “The reconstruction | period which now faces the nations of the world Presents more serious problems than those that confronted us during the war,” cites one of the resolutions. “In endeavoring to solve these proy- lems, as bankers, we should not over- look the difficult questions which present themselves to our citizens in every walk of life and particularly is this true of our laboring population. “At this critical period we wish to commend a sane and sincere spirit of wise cooperation as the only solu- tion of our difficulties. We urge the government to return to their homes as speedily as possible the laboring men who are gathered for war work in the manufacturing centers of the nation and who are now needed on our farms. “As officials of the state bankers’ association we urge the continuation of a conservative policy of all eco- nomic questions affecting our state.” WEALTHY INDIAN IS MISSING; MAY BE VICTIM OF CROOKS Police Search for Sioux: Tribes- man, Going to Washington for Fortune St. Paul, Minn, July 44.—Walter Wallett, a wealthy 90-year-old Indian, who disappeared from St. Paul late Thursday, is believed to have fallen in with a gang of Confidence men, the po- lice declared today, after an unsu S- ful search of 48 hours for him.

A large percentage of these women and girls remain in the employ of the railways operating in North Dakota. They are serving in various capacities, and their hours of labor are said to range from nine to as high as twelve. One result of the enforcement of the eight-hour laws as applied to women workers is expected to be the replacement of such labor with men to a large degree.

Man Honored ‘With Appointment to Important Post Major Frayne Baker, who: recently returned from France, where he served almost a year in the quarter- master department, and who for a year previous to that time was simi- larly engaged on the Mexican border, was today commissioned by Governor Frazier to be a member of the North Dakota highway commission, succeed- ing Alfred G. White of Mohall, who resigned as commissioner some time ago to accept a salaried position with the highway board. Major Baker, altho probably the youngest officer from North Dakota to attain his rank with the national army, had gained mature executive experience through his several years’ connection with the Benton Packet Co. prior to entering the service, and on the Mexican border and in France he won speedy recognition. The young highway commissioner is the second son of Capt. I. P. Baker, president of the Benton Packet Co. and head of the Bismarck bank. All of his life has been spent in Bismarck and in North Dakota, and his appoint- ment is expected to prove generally popular. “I expect. to be on the job from the start,” said Commissioner Baker this morning. “I discovered in the army that a fellow has to fight for every- thing he gets. ‘I intend to begin right now fighting to the best of my ability for permanent good roads for North Dakota.” BISMARCK HORSE TAKES SECOND IN VALLEY CITY MEET H.

I’ was barely able to walk, but now I feel like I could win in a foot race with anybody. I began to have trouble with my stomach aJout fur years ago and was told my troubie was nervous dyspepsia and I took about everything I heard of and spent a@ great deal of money but nothing did me any good.

At last I lost my appetite entirely and would get so weak and dizzy at times 1 would almost fall. Finally I simply had to give up work altogether and was down in, bed for four months, unable to do a thing. “I felt better almost as soon as I started on Tanlac. Pretty soon I was able to go back to work and I wasn’t nervous and irritable like I had been. Everybody wanted to know what caused the change and I told them Tanlac, and now, a great many of the employees of the Brown Palace. Ho- tel are taking it too. I am eating just anything I want and have been ever since the first two days I taok Tan- lac and my appetite is fine. I now weigh one hundred and forty-five pounds, and have never felt better in my life. I go to sleep at night as soon as I hit the pillow and I am feeling strong and full of energy and can do my work with more ease than in a long time. That’s what Tanlac has done for me and if there’s anoth- er medicine in the world that will do so much for suffering people, I have never heard of it. My wife and chil- dren are now taking Tanlac, too, and we are all feeling fine.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck ‘by Jos. Breslow; in Driscoll by N. D, and J. H. Barrette and in Wing by F. P.
