JUNE 1916 REPORTS GIVE. ~ THEEXTENT OF COLLEGE WORK Presbyterian Schools Find Mojority of Students in Adjacent Districts Baltimore, June 1—(®)-—The extent ‘of the educational Avork of the Pres- byterian chureh is set forth in two reports which will be presented to the General Assembly today. Dr. Frederick E. Stockwell, of Philadel- phia, director of the Department of Colleges, Training -schools and Theo- logical Seminaries, and Dr. Lewis is, Philadelphia, director of the Department of Student Aid for the Presbyterian Board of Christian Education, prepared the papers. Supplementary matter — will nted by Dr. William Chalmers re Philadelphia, General Seere- tary of the Board. be Resources Larger The total resources of the fifty- our active and two closed educa- tional institutions of the church are shown as $75,741. against $68,- 391,940 a year /ago. ockwell points out, however, epresents an endowment of 3,000 a student, the mini- mum standard set by the educational institutions of the country Stockwell reports that ‘terian universities find the majorit; of their student bodies in the adjacent distri and points out that one school in the Appalachian mountains, ating as a junior college, is the only five mile radius. generalization of the student hody is evidenced in his report by the statement that about forty er cent of the students at Presbyt ¢shools belong to that church.. The Methodists are second with twenty per cent and others in lesser pro- portions, Scholarships Aid Many Dr. Hillis’ report shows that 593 ™men and 56 women were aided last scholarships to the extent 20, while 171 men and 119 women received aid from the rotary Joan fund totalling $39,000. The total endowment of Presby- terian Colleges for the ‘teaching of , athe Bible and for the departments of religious instruction is given as $2,- $30,000 by Dr. Covert. He reports the total expenses of all Presby- terian college work as $6,748,194. His report also shows that thirty- two states Presbyterian churches are giving week-day Bible instruction. SORLIE MAKES HIS REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS (Continued from page one.) $405,152.07 and depreciation $141,- 005.92, making a total of $637,268. Shows Operating Gain “Between January 1, 1925, and Jan- ‘uary 1, 1926, your director succeeded in ‘ol perating loss to an operating gain in the sum of $143,482.23, This woul have netted ’a profit of three and one. cighth per cent on the investment if +the capital stock in the mill and ele- vation association ,had\ been paid up. During the same year $263,915.31 was charged off as interest on the bonds; and $67,610.44 to depreciation, making a total ‘of $381,525.75. “You readily see from t statement that our profits have .not been sufficient to pay six per cent in- terest on $4,500,000 of bonds plus the item ~of depreciation. But any in- , dustry that can make three and one- ’* cighth per cent on its investment ‘in one year is considered @ very sound institution. There are few privately owned industries in North Dakota that can make ay better showing. Its-Real Fanction “To produce a profit onthe invest- ment is, however, but a very small part of the real function of the state mill and eleyator. It was primarily intended that the mill and elevato should become a marketing agency for North Dakota products. The principal product of our state is wheat. As a marketing agency for ‘this product the and elevator has oy exceeded the expectations of any bf us.” ib By using the state mill and eleva- tor as a markéting agency and taki advantage of ‘its ‘iaboratory faciliti Sorlie said, farmers of the state have, made between $6,000,000 and $16,000, 000 dollars on the 114,000,000 bushels of wheat produced in the state last|’ year. oo “The state mill and elevator is de- veloping @ trade with the millers east of Minneapolis for our North Dakota millers mix, The state mill grinds. wheat on @ 12.5 per cent nretein con- which is “about 1% per cent than most mills grind. Because is higher content of protein it cost ‘state-about 85 'cents per bar- rel more to produce our flour, But the millers east of us who have dis- covered what a wonderfully fine ‘bread our flour” makes hard spring wheat is used in the flour, find that they have no trouble in inducing their customers, the bak- ers and the housewives, to buy their | wary wing these figures from, an| ‘when only | R _ This store.has withstood the test of time.’ To gain the confidence of the public until we have grown from a one-man store to a 12-man store in 10 years means that we Must please our trade by giving service, honest prices and courteous treatment. In appreciation we thank you one and all for making this growth possible, and trust that we will merit a con- tinuation of your valued.patronage for the future. ’'S TOGGERY * STYLE CENTER IN THE CENTER OF NORTH DAKOTA superior, grade of flour even though the price is a little higher.” F Flour Price Lowered Basing his estimate on the fact that about 700,000 barrels of flour are con- sumed in the: state each year, lie id the state mill has so reduced the price of flour that North Dakotans have saved $1.80 a barrel or upproxi- mately $1,260,000. His contention is as follow: ince December 1, 1924, flour has been sell- ing for approximately $1.80 per bar- rel less than it sold for in 1920 and 1921, basing the price of flour on the. price of wheat. On December 1, 1921, flour sold for $9.70 per. barrel and wheat sold for $1.42 per bushel. On December 1, 1924, flour sold for $8.80 per barrel and wheat sold for $1.62 per bushel. There is a difference of 20 cents per bushel on the price of wheat between 1920 and 1924, It takes 414° bushels of wheat to make a barrel of flour. Four and one-half times 20 cents is 90 cents, and this amount added to $9.70, the price of flour in 1921, mak the price $10.60. Wheat sold at $1. per bushel in 1924, and flour at $8.80 per barrel, making a difference of $1.80 per barrel.” The terminal grain market, the go’ ernor said, provides farmers with market and also offers storage facili- ties where grain can be stored not only on a grade buy on a protein con- tent basis. Contending that North Dakota farmers should get more for their wheat because of its quality, the executive said: “In an action recent- ly brought to secure rate privileg for this terminal market on the same basis as the terminals in Minneapolis and Duluth, it was established wi out any contradiction that North Da- kota. wheat for the last four years has, om the average, possessed a pro- tein content of 12 per cent and has | Dr. been worth, on the average, from 10] to 12 cents per bushel over the card price at any given station in the state. This means that in the last year alone the wheat produced in this state ought to have brought over $11,000,- 000 over the grade price to the farm- ers of North Dakota, Bright Future Predicted Sorliec predicted a bright future for both the Bank of North Dakgta and the mill and elevator, aver ‘hi when they ave been in ope: long as the other state industries, and when their management has been tak- en out of politics, they will become ‘just as profitable to you as your other industries.” Attacking his political opponents the executive said: “Since the ado; tion of the Devils Lake platform t word has-been spread abroad that all state industries in North Dakota would be closed up as quickly as pos- sible. Since the vils Lake conven- tion sales of flour have fallen off tremendously. Any merchant -+hand- ling a commodity wants to be sure he can get that commodity after he has built up a trade for it. Is it strange, then, that merchants have become about buying state mill flour they are being told that the mill is to be closed?” Reduced Taxes Planned Turning his attention to taxes, Sor- lie said that North Dakota was one of the eight states which reduced taxes in 1925 and ranks twenty-fifth in the rate of tax per capita, A further re- duction in taxes is planned, he said. Outlining the development of they state highway system, Governor Sor- lie said North Dakota is developing a state highway system second to none in the United States. Without directly attacking present IVA members of the state industrial | commission, Sorlic asked that a board | of directors favorable to carrying out |the direction of the people as ex- | pressed in constitutional amendments | Be, elected to take office Jandary 1, | 1927. } Cooperation Needed “See to it,” he said, “that you select people who are willing to abide by your constitution, who will enforce | the laws as your constitutiom directs them to be enforced and whg will be guided the same as any boatd of di- rectors of any privately owned cor- poration would be guided im carrying out the directions of the stockholders of the corporation in which they have the. honor to ‘serve as directors. ‘North Dakota has too long been a ‘branch’ state. We have depended too long on or states for help in all lines. It is high time we become a state in the real sense of the word, developing our own resources, 0} ‘own industries and working out our ‘own problems in our own way for the best Interests of our own citizens, We -need to quit fighting among ourselves and to begin fighting for ourselves. ‘What we need in North Dakota is co- operation.” {.
