R. Davidson Taken Into Cus- tody on Complaint of Attor- _ ney General Langer FIVE COUNTS ARE ALLEGED Bank of Which Defendant Was Cashier Said to Have Been Loaded With Bad Paper E. -R. Davidson, former cashier of the New Rockford Farmers & Mer- chants bank; deputy state treasurer for two terms, and clerk of the dis- trict court of Eddy county for the same length of time, was arrested at New Rockford this morning on com- plaint of Attorney General William Langer on a charge of having vio- lated the banking laws of North Da- kota on five separate counts. Davidson is one pf New Rockford’s most prominent citizens. He is ex- tensively engaged in real estate oper- ations and is manager of a large ele- vator business. His worth is rated at better than $100,000. Cashier for Ten Years. Davidson became cashier of the New Rockford Farmers & Merchants bank| when it was organized in 1906. He continued to serve in that capa- city until the spring of 1916, when it ig said that he was relieved ‘by order of the directors. It was then dis- closed, it is alleged, that the bank was involved with $40,000. of worth- less paper which had ‘been carried without knowledge of bank officials other than Davidson, it 1s alleged. Sheets Acts for Langer. Following a complete investiga- tion extending over more than a year, the matter finally was referred ‘o the attorney general’s office only last Friday. Mr. Langer acted immedi- ately. Assistant Attorney General Al- bert E. Sheets, Jr., was dispatched to New Rockford yesterday, and there he drew up a complaint and demanded a warrant for Davidson’s arrest. The Charges. The charges against Davidson in- clude embezzlement; making and subscribing to false reports to the state bank examiner; and three sep- erate counts elleging the making and subscribing to false entries on the books of the bank, with intent to de- ceive. It is alleged that-in one instance it was found: that a certificate of de- posit for $1,000, for which money had ‘been received and -a certificate issued, was entered upon the books of the bank as $1; in another case a $5,000 c. d. was entered as $5, and in still another a certificate of deposit for $508.82 was listed as $8.82. The arrest of Davidson’ is said to have created a stir at New Rock- ford.

RDINARILY you know whether a thing is satisfactory before you buy it, but printed matter—no. That is made to your order. Whether you are going to be satisfied with the job depends more on the Printer than on yourself after the job has gone in. You, the Buyer, are equally responsible for the suc- cess of the job. If you select a Printer because of his low price only, you ought to be satisfied to get as much as you pay for. He can’t possibly give you more—it would put him out of business. | Now, in selecting a Printer, if you take in considera- tion such items as Care, Suggestions and Discrimina- tion, and are satisfied with a break even game, a dollar’s worth for a dollar, you will be taking advantage of the odds and so taking a good chance, and the order will naturally come to us.
