soil around Brainerd is very poor" Mr.
LangdOn knows very well that Crow Wing

A large portion of our space is
given this week TO the recent decis.
ion of the Supreme Court touching
contracts between merchants and In.
surance Companies, etc, but it will
prove interesting to the general
reader. The judgment of the court
is to the effect that contract made
by merchant who has to pay a
privilege tax, and in reference to a
business for the transaction of which
a privilege tax has TO be paid, can
not be enforced unless the privilege
tax has been paid, and embraces
mortgage contracts for farm supplies
and all similar obligations. The priv
ilegc tax on merchants is regulated
according to the greatest amount of
stock on hand at any time during
the year, and tits said, that it is
not unusual to find merchant who
carries twice as much insurance as
he does stock. The decision on
