State Firomen's Tournament.

Secretary Bassett of the North Dakota
Volunteer Firemen's Association, has
issued a circular in which he says: "After
many delays caused by uncertainty as to
what the state legislature and the citi-
zens of Fargo would do, I am able to n
nounce that the twelfth annual conven-
ton and tournament of the North Da-
kota Firemen's Association will be held
at Fargo on June II, II and l3, 1895;
also, that we will surely get our $1,000
from the state, which will enable the as
ISOLATION to pay the mileage Of all dele
gates and teams, thus reducing the cost
o. attendance to hotel fare. The Min
nesota State Firemen's Association will
meet in Moorhead, MINI, on the same
dates that our W is held, and the pro-
gram will be so arranged as to permit of
each association visiting the other in
convention. It is doubtful if a like OBJ
p%ortunity will ever occur again in the
history of the two associations, and all
companies should avail themselves of the
privilege of making the acquaintance Of
brother firemen from Minnesota. The
program will be a duplicate of last year,
so far as the fremen's races are con-
cerned. Purses will also be the same.
There has been no change in any of the
rules governing races, so thus refer to
1928 proceedings for information"

During the past week the educational

US. Chief among these lights we notice

Concerning Mcintosh.

Concerning Mcintosh.
The Wahpeton Globe publishes some
notes Of Mcintosh county, which are in
teresting, if reliable, as follows:
"Judge Lauder presided over a term Of
court in Mcintosh last week, and in con
versatlon with a Globe reporter, de-
scrlbed one of the cases heard. The
county SUPERINTENDENT has been receiv-
ing about $1,000 per year salary for his
services. The Russians thought this a
a little too expensive for the services

ing of citizens, volunteered to perform
the duties Of superintendent for $500 per
annum. Upon this proposition he was
elected over q regularly nominated can
didate. He assumed the duties of the
Office, and o learned that there was
nothing in the law to prevent him from
drawing full fees for his services. Ac-
cordingly he put in a bill to the county
board for $3.50, for the first quarters
salary. The board protested, recalled
his agreement with the electors, but all
in vain. The superintendent was. deter
mined to have all there was in it, The
board refused refused to pay the bill,
and the superintendent took al appeal.
Of course, there was nothing for the
court to do but to allow the bill. But
this instance shows that the honest
farmer who is elected to office is just
like his city brother-he is 'out for the

route home from southern California.
Capt. Mccormack spent the winter with

that the crops III the northwest have

Capt. Mccormick goes on to Grand

added as a matter of news to many peo-

milling interests in North Dakota, had
entirely severed his connection with the
North Dakota Millers' association before
that institution went into the hands of a
receiver.
