VAST BENEFITS ARE LATENT Ease and Happiness Bound Up in Resources of Nature and Mind, He Declares Research work being carried on by great universities and corporations, in the effort to gain more useful knowledge, was analyzed by A. E. Minard, dean of the school of science and literature at the Agricultural col-’ lege, Fargo, in an address on “The Adventure of Knowledge,” last eve- ning at the high school commence- ment program. A person possessing knowledge has power no ignorant person can hope to achieve, the speaker said, and be- cause knowledge is wealth, we are investigating every subject in which we feel our information is not exact enough. The advancement of human knowledge, he went on to say, is one of life's greatest adventures, with the Possibilities of enormous gains and sometimes disastrous losses, if the motivating influence is a desire to improve the world. A warning was sounded regarding the dangerous nations and in- dividuals have to destroy. dom, and his power to be and do what he greatly desires, to multiply those things which will make his life easy and luxurious, and forgets the responsibility this power brings with it, his knowledge is wasted.” Vast Possibility in Science The vast possibilities which science has barely touched on so far, were mentioned, and he suggested prob- ability in the not very distant future that man may learn to manufacture his own food at will. Mentioning the power in the United States today, Dean Minard stated that power equivalent to 50 slaves is at the dis- posal of each person in the United States, and the country is fitted to turn out products for a population twice as great. ‘When knowledge is used to prevent disasters, disease, and becomes a servant for the good of all, it ful- fills its true purpose, the speaker said in closing. Relatives and friends of the grad- uating class entirely filled the audi- torium. Wins Jeweled Pin The invocation was given by Rev. Ira Herzberg, and there were selec- tions by the girls’ quartct.

O, Saxvik, su- perintendent of schools. For 15 years graduating classes of the Demon school followed a practice of making “whoopee” and literally “painting up the town” on commence- ment night. Observing requests of the school board and faculty members this year, seniors last night did not “turn a blade of grass,” Mr. Saxvik said this morning.

The state health department was asked for aid in handling the situ- ation, and Engineer Bavone was as- ‘signed to the task. He left this after- noon, and does not know when he may be able to get back to Bismarck. His task may require a week in Mar- marth on measures of sanitation to avert an epidemic. Miss Mary Cashel, Red Cross secre- tary, left here Friday to investigate conditions at Marmarth on behalf of the Red Cross. She is now there mak- ing a survey of the needs of the town which her organization can relieve. Fred Farnsworth Home From Naval Service Fred Farnsworth, son of Mrs. T. M.

INVESTMENT HOUSE CLOSES OPERATIONS INFINANGIAL STRAIT Chicago Securities Company With Offices in 11 Cities Is Forced Out of Business Chicago, June 1. — (4 — Taylor, Ewart & Co., an investment securities company with offices in 11 cities, suspended operations today. An- nouncement of the supension was made at the firm’s offices here. ‘The companuy is headed by B. F. Taylor, chairman, and C. B. Ewart, president, and maintains offices in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Boston, Kansas City, St. Louis, Min- neapolis, Milwaukee, Louisville, New Orleans and Houston. Recalling of demahd loans by New York and Chicago banks forced the company to shut down, officers of the brokerage announced. The Guar- anty Trust company, Seaboard Na- tional bank and New York National bank took the initiative in withdraw- ing their call money and the First National Bank of Chicago, Continen- tal Illinois Trust company and North- ern Trust Company of Chicago fol- lowed suit. Suspension Permancnt “It appears that the suspension will be permanent,” declared L. R. Billett, secretary-treasurer, as he prepared a formal statement to be issued later. Taylor, Ewart and Company dcalt in stocks and bonds, and was not a member of any stock exchange. The company was founded in 1911. B. F. Taylor, chairman of the board, issued the following statement: “It is true that Taylor, Ewart and Company is, temporarily at least, in financial difficulties. However, the assets of the company are such that with the cooperation of the banks there should be no loss to any firm or individual.” ‘In Good Shape’? Mr. Billett estimated the firm's assets roughly at $6,000,000, and said the loans called in by the banks yes- terday totaled about $4,000,000, almost equally divided among the NeW York and Chicago banks. Taylor, Ewart dealt only in high grade stocks and bonds,“he asserted, adding that he could not explain the action of the banks in withdrawing their money. The company’s affairs here are in good shape, Billett added. He said the key to the situation lay with the New York bankers. While the general market situation has per- haps lowered the value of some of the securities Taylor Ewart handled, the treasurer said the company had no bad securities.
