The sale of 1 bonds at the | lowest rate of interest ever paid by the city is indicative both of the eredit of the city and the readiness of the bond market to absorb offerings. The bond issue whieh is te be voted on next Tuesday doubtless cane be sold at a very low rate of | interest The bonds will, of course, be tax-exempt. This elass of securities is being sought by investors. There is a movement on foot in the national congress to prohibit: the sale of tax exempt bonds, and the Wine for such a makes action to this end in the near future unlikely, Should | Lismarek delay in issuing water works bonds until sueh a con- dition comes to pass, the annual interest: charge would be in- creased markedly, Uneertainty of business cgnditions in the last two years has | caused many investors to place their investments in high-erade | public securities rather than entrust their funds to the hazards | of business. Demands of business for finance, too, have been | at aminimum, With the business leaders predicting: a steady | reign of prosperity and expansion of business, the demand for | funds for industry will increase and industry will bid against | public corporations for the money, with the effect of a conse- | quent increase in bond interest If the city of Bismarck is ever to issue water w sentiment proposa! | { | i ites, rks bonds. next Monday is an opportune time to vote them, Unless eiti- | zens generally go to the polls the bond issue will fail and the | water question will be farther from solution than ever before. | Unless the citizens vote the bonds, Bismarek will continue toshe gone of the few cities in the Northwest which does not control its own water supply. i But a favorable expression of sentiment amounts to nothing | If the voter does not go to the polls, Every voter ia the city ought to cast a ballot next Monday. | ae OUGHT TO BE DONE | The announcement o member of the ¢ Bar Board that | it wifl investigate activities of lawyers who are unduly eager to advise clients to go into bankruptey, may have a good effect | in North Dakota. Firm action following the announcement sought to put a stop to the practice. It is, of course, the excep- tion rather than the rule, and more often it is an ill-advised | riend than a lawyer who urges bankruptey. Some months ago there was propaganda in the state direcged ‘toward wholesale bankruptey by farmers. Records of the referee ii bankruptey of the Southwest distriet indicate an al-| anost flat failure of the efforts of these propagandists. It is | perhaps true that they have discouraged some men to the point | “of entering pleas in bankruptey who, if encouraged instead or | let alone, might have stuck to their business, pulled out and | entered into a period of prosperity Certainly no more reprehensible practice could be indulged ; “in than by advising wholesale bankruptey, or bankruptey by any who has any chance in the world to win out by | sticking. mes are difficult for many, but perhaps not more shopeless nor more difficult than faced by the pioneers who “builded North Dakota, | SEES PROSPERITY The adviee of E.G. Quamme, president of the Federal Land | Bank of St. Paul, to buy farms now sounds like sensible ad- vice, when backed by conditions as set forth by Mr. Quaimme. First, he s, farm land values are at rock bottom prices in the Northwest, and this probably will not be disputed. Second there is indication of a long reign of prosperity in the nation * with population steadily increasing and the demand for food stuffs growing. Mr. Quamme says: ‘We are on the upgrade, and farming will be better and more profitable every year from now on. We are on the up-curve again, a curve that will take us for a continuous swing upward for thirty years or longer. It may | be gradual, but it will be an up-curve, and that is the soundest and best period to enter, as an investor. Land values have de- flated in this section to rock bottom. Bottom was reached last « Oetober, and they are now on the up-curve also.” As the soil becomes ‘‘farmed out’’ in the t and middle- 2 west, as the market for food products increases (and with ~ Europe in financial chaos it is probably the lowest point abroad now that it will be in many years), and as our own population increases, the farms of the Northwest will become more valu- ,, abl . It is always good sense to buy at the lowest basis of ~~ prices and that point apparently has been reached. LOANS i Federal Reserve officials ‘‘see danger’? in the rapidly in- + creasing credit demand—by which they mean the steady ad- vance in the total amount of money borrowed by business or- ganizations. x When prices are rising and the buying power of the dollar ‘ accordingly shrinking, business has to have a larger volume of money to do even the former amount of business. Professor # Fisher is right. We need a dollar stabilized by something like , anselastie gold backing, to keep its buying power always at t about the same level.

To : bavk himself up, he points to the intelligence tests conducted in the army during the war, “which show that only 12 per cent are of superior or very superior intelligence, while 24 per cent are very dull, feeble minded or on the border line. ‘These tests i present an accurate sample of the adult male mind.’ bg Rot!

And many had to have new arms legs and even heads, to say nothing of plugs of wood or tin where bullet holes showed. The last battle had been a fierce one and hardly anyone escaped. So the Tinker Mangassisted by the Twins, went right to“work in his hos- pital at once. One by one the soldiers were fin- ished, quite as nice as new, and laid in neat rows in big card-board boxes with bright letters on top. “Now watch and see what I am going to do next,” said the Tinker Man, “so that there will be no more war in Bing-Bang Land this year, peace treaties or no peace treaties.” He went to his cupboard and brought out a big ball of strong twine and wrapped each box around and around and around, tying the string in hard knots. “If I had thought about doing that before, there would have been no,trouble in the first place,” he said. “Now for the other things.” days in jail.
