The Ward County Editorial associ-
alton was perfected at a meeting held
at the Commercial club rooms in this
city Friday afternoon. Eighteen Of
the thirty six. newspaper men in Ward
county were present, but all OF them
had already signed up, so the organic
ation was in accordance with the
views of all the members of the Ward
county press.
On motion of Editor Smart, the
temporary organization was made per-
manent, which elected S. H. Clark
president and Dorr H. Carroll, of
Carpio secretary.
The members got down to business
at once. 1t was agreed that the an
nual dues should be one dollar. The
chairman was given the right to APP
point a committee on constitution and
bylaws, and soon a copy of these will
be printed and sent to every member
|of the association.
The chairman appointed the follow
ing as executive committee of the
|association: First commissioner dis
trict, G, D. Colcord; second commits
sioner's district, John n. schnffzlei
of the Mohall Tribune; third district
James Mitchell of the Kenmare
News; fourth district, George j
Smith of the Plaza Pioneer, and fifth
district, Editor Tilton of the Ryder
News.
This committee will find plenty tc
do. For one thing the committee met
at once and formed schedule fol
job printing which will be submitted
to the board of county commissioners
This schedule is according to a very
fair rate, and the profit to be mad5

is but THAT which has been charged t

for years. The printers Of Ward
county have been assured that the
commissioners are willing to pay
lust price for all work done, realiz-
ing that they have no more right to
cut the price for the county than
they have for an Individual. The
commissioners have decided that the
printing will be done on the open
market, and in Ward county, SO far
as the shops are able to take care of
the work. The executive committee
will take steps at once to see that
things are done which will be of
benefit to every printer in Ward
county.
It is a we'll known fact that there is
no set Of men who do more for less
money than the newspaper men, and
the object OF the association is to
remedy some of the wrongs in the
system. No one ever heard of an editor
getting rich quick, and the association
does not intend to attempt any get
rlcn-qulck Scheme.
The association will endeavor to
form a,rnSeleus Of "a northwestern
North Dakota state association which
will work in unison with the State
association. The State association is
in a very decrepit condition, and the
members of the association will no
doubt join the State association and
attempt to revive it. An effort will be
made to secure the state convention
of editors in Minot at an early date.
| The next meeting of the Ward
/ County Editorial association will be
held in this city June 25, and it lis
hoped that every member will be
present. Special arrangements Will
be made to receive the primary elec-
tion returns.

How the State Pays the Farmer for Planting
Trees on Their Farms

The Independent is very much in
terested in the tree planting PROPOSE
ton over the state, and especially in
the northwestern part Of this state,
and if we can do anything to induce
the farmers to plant few hundred
acres of trees in Ward and adjoining
counties we think that our efforts
will not have been in vain.
There is no use in our telling you
again and again of the many benefits
to be gained from the planting of the
trees. If you once stop to think OF
it you will know for yourselves that
ten acres Of trees planted ON each
quarter section of land will enhance
the value of that land five hundred
per quarter. Then, besides, you will
get good pay for your work according
to the tree bounty law. We print for
the benefit of our readers the law as
it appears On the statute together
with the amendment.
Article 24,Sec. 2082, Code of North
Dakota.
'Any person who shall hereafter
plant, cultivate and keep in a grow
ing thrifty condition one acre and not
more than ten acres of prairie land

for each acre so planted and culti-
waited, to be deducted annually from
the taxes levied against real estate
comprising eighty acres, 12O acres,
or 32O-acre farms, as the case may
be, upon which said trees may be
growing; but such bounty shall not
be paid unless such grove shall have
at least four hundred living trees on
each acre, so maintained and kept in
growing condition"

that no bounty shall be paid, or de

TRAGIC ROMANCE

Rebecca Butler, gypsy seeress, by De-
tectives McSorley and Holland on a

gypsy tribes, for thousands of miles
and through countless exciting adven-

who is alleged to have been shot by
Palmer in a gypsy camp near Ukiah.
ELOPES WITH AFFINITY
The story as unfolded by Captain of
Detective Petersen runs as follows:
Rebecca Butler, the woman now under
arrest, was the wife of Henry Butler.
a layman, although she was a member
of a gypsy tribe. After bearing him
two children she fell IN love with
Solomon Palmer, patrician gypsy and
member of the royal family, and she
deserted her husband for him. Butler
accepted his desertion resignedly. but
he objected to losing his children, and
he followed the eloping couple to a
camp near Ukiah, where in June, 1908,
he overlook them. There he informed
Palmer that he could keep his wife if
he would permit him to take his chill
dren away. To this proposal Palmer
made no objection, but after getting
possession of his children Butler at
tempted TO take away his wife also,
and, 1t is alleged. he was shot in the
back and killed by Palmer. The shoot
ing was witnessed by Buffers year
old son. Palmer was arrested irime-
diately after the shooting, and, upon
the testimony of Buffers son. he was
bound over to the superior court by
the police magistrate on the charge of
numbering Palmer.
During the interval between the pre-
liminary examination and his trial in the

Butler coached her son to contradict his

BUNKER WARS ON
"FRATS" IN SCHOOL
Berkeley Superintendent Orders
Surrender of Charters Under
Penalty of Expulsion

BERKELEY. Nov. 12.-Superintend-
ent Frank F. Bunker told the boys and
girls of the Berkeley high school to-
day that the charter of every fraternity
and sorority of which they were mem
bers, must be returned at once to the
national headquarters of the various
organizations for cancellation If that
were not done, he said, those who re-
tanned their membership would be ex-
PEELED from the school. Bunker's de-
nunciation of the 1raternities and
sororities was delivered before the full
membership of the societies in the
high school auditorium this afternoon
and was listened to by more than 200
boys and girls.
Bunker minced no words when he
scored the organizations which con-
tinued to exist in spite of the numerous
rulings of the board of education to
the contrary.
"The reasons why these fraternities
should be put out of existence said
Bunker. SIS because they not only de-
stroy the unity and harmony of the
schools, but they arouse a false social
feeling by the promotion of clioues
that are ban to any community
"They furthermore have a tendency
to keep the student away from home
and from his studies. They are a detri-
ment to the studious pupil who is de-
prived of the benefits of the freside
and the companionship of the home.
There are absolutely no prereuui-
sites or requirements for admittance
into the fraternities. Fancied social
standing seems to be the sine qua non
of admission. If the student can dance
WELL smoke cigarettes and make a
good appearance he is admitted without
any other qualification.
The board of education has a mum
Der of ways in which student member
OF one of the societies can be distin-
guished from other students who obey
the rules. First the board has the
power of refusing to promote a stu
dent; secondly. we can refuse diploma
or recommendation to the university.
Lastly, we have the power to refuse
admittance to the classroom of any
student who has declared his affiliation
with the fraternity.
In the past the board of education
has received a number of socalled re-
signations of students from the fra
ternities. We have not heen deceived
by these designations socalled. but
have taken them for what they were
worth. In some cases the student who
declared he resigned still retained his
membership in the society,"
Bunker then advised the students to
sign the blanks he produced, thereby
renouncing allegiance to the secret So
cieties. which he proposed to mail to
the national headquarters of the or
ganizations. Alarmed at the stand the
board has taken, the students have the
matter under advisement and the pub
lie denunciation of their fraternities is
likely to follow Whether the naa+ter
will be taken to the courts, as was
threatened by the Pi Delta Kappa last
year, is a matter of conjecture.
