Roundup, Nov. 21.—Attaching all property in the county of record in their names and alleging fraud in re cent transfers of title with the pur-1 pose of avoiding an obligation, suit filed by County Attorney C. F. Huppe against bondsmen of the Citizens State bank who guaranteed county depositg in that institution. With the proceedings were filed long lists of property held by the bonds men, or transferred by them since the closing of the bank, including property attached last week by the county for recove, v on us deposit. To Press Surety Firms Surety companies whose bonds are | held by the county for deposits up to | $25,000 also are to be brought into court unless payment on the bonds is made, and it is understood that Mr. Huppe will also ask that county de posits in both the Citizens State and the First National Bank be declared a preference claim under a supreme court decision which recently held state deposits m a failed bank were. rightly entitled to this classification. The total amount of the. county de posit at the time the Citizens State bank closed is given in the complaint as $70,074.81, and recovery of this amount is sought together witn inter est at the rate of X per cent pei an num. In addition to the two surety company bonds held by the county, j covering deposits up to $25,000, there are three personal bonds, guarantee ine- denosits from $25 000 to $250 000 mg deposits from »Wto S.hU,UJO. r, j . y ~ - "î , Records in the offices of the county clerk and recorder show that several of the bondsmen have made numer ous transfers of prop.3rty since the closing of the bank and that other property held by them ha« been mort gaged. In other instances declara tions of homesteads have been filed, supposedly to avert possible loss through attachment proceedings, and these are the transactions alleged to be fraudulent in the complaint filed by the county attorney. It is said that a hearing of the case is not expected at the forthcom ing jury term of district court, the calendar for* which has already been set. but that institution of the suits will prevent further transfer« or the sale of property mortgaged, until such time as the matter may brought before the court for adjudi cation. be N. D. AGRICULTURAL TRAINEES OF THE U.S. VETERANS BUREAU More than 40 disabled ex-service men have been placed on small farms in North Dakota under the direction of the U. S. Veterans Bureau and they have come through the past sea son with more than fair success ac cording to reports. The disabled men who are given vo cational training on small farms which they have bought on their individual responsibility are assisted by instruc tors from the North Dakota Agricul tural college under contract with the Veterans Bureau. They visit each trainee every two weeks to give him instruction and advice concerning all his farming operations. The Veter ans Bureau plan provides a for operating each farm as to crop ping, improvements, and similar mat ters, and the instructors assist the men in carrying this through. Each farm and family is managed on a budget plan worked out, in each case, by the Bureau and the trainee to gether. This reduces all operations to a systematic basis, and insures regular and steady progress. An agricultural expert declares that "successful land development where the settler has only a small working capital depends upon four things: good land, reasonable price, long time payments at a low rate of interest, good farming methods, add good health and unceasing dili gence on the part of the farmer. These trainees in vocational agri culture receive from $80 to $100 per month, with additional allowances for wives and children, as training pay. for a period of 30 months at the end They will, as a rule, be in training of which time they will be well estab lished on their own farms, and can safely be declared rehabilitated.

During the past few years thous ands of black-tailed prairie dogs have been exterminated in the Colorado district through the systematic efforts of the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture and the Colorado Agricultural College. On the many sloping hillsides in Douglas County the old chimneys of the vacated burrows of these prairie dogs are still visible. Swarms of bees have been discovered going in and out of these chimneys, and the buzzing in the enlarged cavities below indicates that honey is being stored there.
