MONDAY, MARCH 6, 1922" = EGION TO HOLD | CONVENTIONS District Meetings.to Take up Aid| to Disabled Veterans \ Arrangements are being completed for the holding of fifteen district con- ventions of the American Legion throughout ‘North Dakota within the next month for the purpose of co- operating with the U. S. Veterans Bu- reau in its program of aiding the dis-} abled former service man. The purpose of the convention is to} obtain in each Legion post in the ste, | a service officer, whose duty it will be to act as a representative of the Bu-! reau in his own city and locality to aid men in the presentation and prose- | cution of their claims,against the gov- ernment. This is in accordance with} the cooperation program endorsed by the National Organization of the Amer-; ican Legion and been put into effect in other sta Each post will! send one. or more representatives to | their respective district confventio: where instructions will be received from a field agent of the bureau rela tive to the proper handling of claims. | The outstanding result of this work so far_has been the elimination of much of the delay incident to the handling of claims by correspondence | and results in giving intelligent aidj| to the disabled veteran at first hand.} RISK COSTSTO ~ BE REDUCED and Bureau to Make Refund Also May Cut Rates Aresolution has been adopted by the workmen’s compensation bureau tiata refund of 20 per cent of premiums paid shall be made to employers, fer the| fiscal year ending July 1, 1922, if the employer has not had “Idss experience above normal,” it was announced to- day. It was stated by Commissioner Elliott that the ‘bureau felt that the surplus to be refunded should be re- funded to employers who have paid rates rather than that benefit should} inure through reduction of rates in future, wherein firms whica had not been insured would benefit. A refund} of 15 per cent was made last year. | In addition, it was stated, the bureau has adopted a resolution instructing! the rating department to co-operate | with H, D. Bangert, of Columbus, 0.,/ actuary of the bureau, in giving ex-| perience in North Dakota compensi- | tion great weigint in fixing rates fo:! the year beginning July 1, 1922, and “to | make as substantial a cut in the rates} for the coming year as safe actuariat science will allow.” i It was said by Commissioner Elliott | that rates. had /been ‘based. hitherto chiefly on general actuarial -experi- ence but that the bureau has been in operation in North Dakota long enough to justify giving great consideration to North Dakota experience in fixing rates.

January 15, 1921, the state says, Goy. ‘Small and Mr. Curtis turned over to the t urer various notes to talling $10,012,500 and 490 shares of stock in a downstate bank, issued in the name of the late Senator Edward C, Curtis. 5 The case is expected to last from six weeks to two months, or even longer, de; ding upon the time tak- n to & Kstimates by law- i 1 take from a-month six weeks to find twelve men,,to r the case, because of the wide ed. The battery of lawyers for both sides will be one of the largest ever nbled in the historic old ‘Lake county court room. The state will be charge of C. Fred Mortimer, state’s attorney of Sangamon: county, who obtained the indictments. He will sted by two assistant attorney als of Illinois, James M. Wilker- son and Thomas shall, the latter an expert jn embezzlement cases; Col. A. V. Smith, state’s attorney of Lake county; Edward ‘Pree, _assist- ant state’s attorney of Sangamon county; Ralph Dady, former _ state’s attorney of Lake county; and half a dozen other lawyers. ’ The defense will be represented by C. C. Lelorgee, pf Decatur; Werner W. Schroeder, of Kankakee; and _Al- jexander I". Beaubein, of Waukegan. The defense is expected to wage an attack on the constitutionality of the state treasurer's act of 1908, which required the treasurer to place stato funds in the bank paying the highest rate of interest. The act, the defense claimed in preliminary arguments, is unconstitutional because it was im- properly passed and because it com- bines two subjects under one title, provision having also been made by the law for an appropriation to pay for bonds of the state treasurer and his assistants. (SKILLED FARM in Mr. Sterling’s two year term $11,- | HELP WANTED At Present The “Demand Is Greater Than Supply | | ACS i Fargo, N.-D. ‘arch 6.—Two weeks | of warm weather will bring scores of} nomad laborers swarming into Norta Dakota from the south and east, ac- cording to Mrs. M. B. Bowe, who has charge of. the combined State ani/ Federa] Employment office here. Just now the farm demand for good, skilled men, is greater than the sup) ply, Mirs. Bowe says, and this condi-) tion will continue until the warm} weather influx begins. For the most part these restless and hardy men who help to till the soil and gatner the harvests of North Da- kota each year, are’ regular in their habits, returning each year. , Some} fluctuate between the fields of this! State and the woods of Minnesota, Wis- consin and Michigan. Al] winter they work as lumbermen and with the first blush of warm weather in the spring they return to North Dakota. Others who*spend the summers in the fields of this state are to be! found in the larger cities during the| winter, according to Mrs. Bowe. They have accumulated a “stake” during the summer-and they do what odd jobs they can get inthe city during the winter, living, when none of these; are obtainable, on the money they have saved. ‘Not all of these men are willing to work merely for a “stake” to carry taem through the} winter, however. Some of them are saving the money they make with the! view of ultimately getting into some] business of their own, according to Mrs, Bowe? Many of these men form friend- ships with the people with whom they work and frequently they ask for po- sifions with the families for whom they worked the year before. | MANDAN NEWS _| Mandan Pioneer ; Resident Dies Paul Knoll, aged 67, one of the pio- neer residents of the county died Sat- urday morning of cerebral hemorrh- age, following an illness of two weeks.

The meeting a Minot is the twenty-eight annual convenion, but the history of the early days is such that it might be possible that additional conventions have been eld. The meeting at which the arrange- ments for forming the North Dakota Dairymen’s association were made was held at Fargo, February 18, 1891. Names of twenty-two charter memr bers Were announced as a result of this meeting, while a call for a state convention was made. This first state convention was held at Grand Forks some time in the month of June fol- lowing the organization meeting. While the beginning of the organ- ization seems to have been throug. the interest of men at the State Agri- cultural College, the first report on fille at the state house nere, is one made by A. ‘H’, Laughlin, at that time commissioner of agriculture. His re- port is of a meeting at Lisbon in 1896 and the history of the organization is fairly well authenticated since that ‘date. VA.
