COURT TO DECIDE
WHETHER FOOD is
IAN ACT OF GOD"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The court
OF claims has been called upon to de-
eide whether damage by flood is IAN act
of God" and If SO, whether the gov
eminent or the contractors, who were
direct losers. should make good the
losses ensuing.
John G. and l. NJ Day, California
contractors, are seeking to collect $751;
458 which they say they spent in pro-
tecting a canal on the Columbus river
Greg, from being destroyed by floods in
1904
The government held that they could
not be reimbursed for the dikes and
abutments they erected, and that they
were entitled only to the amount due
for constructing the canal-the original
Improvement undertaken.

HELP ASKED FOR
JUVENILE COURT.
Philip Weltner Says the County
Assumed Burden Without
Sufficient Means.

Declaring that the county assumed
the burden Of the juvenile court be
fore it had sufficient means to support
such an institution and agreeing with
Judge Pendleton in many Of the judges
criticisms, Solicitor General Philip
WaItner, of the juvenile court. today
answered the statements made by
Judge Pendleton before the Fulton
grand jury yesterday.
Yes, | read the article about the
children's court" said Solicitor Welt
ner. Il can not believe that Judge Pen
dleton meant that the court was an
aid to crime. ! know he did not.
THE children's court has been re-
markable factor for good in the lives
Of hundreds Of children. 1t deserves the
confidence OF the people of Atlanta. The
trouble is that the county assumed the
burden of the court when ii was not
ready to go the full length of furnish
ing 1t with all the equipment it need
ed
THE detention home is admittedly q
makeshift but oven at that it is bet
ter than the former children's ward
at the police station. That 1t could
be conducted in a much better way
and with vastly better results would
not undertake to deny
AS far as Judge Pendleton's recon-
mendation concerns a reformatory for
negro boys, you can quote me as saying
that this is sadly needed. The one at
Milledgeville is a Juvenile penitentiary,
and ought not to be called a refor1na-
tory at all Unless you have a refor-
matory, probation will be a rather lame
expedient. This method needs to be
backed up by the certain knowledge
that violations Of probationary require
ments will land the offender in a re-
formatoTy.
But to suppose for a moment that
negro boys are not amenable to pro-
baton II it is properly conducted, is
mighty sad mistake. The county
ought to do all 1t can to provide a re-
form school for negroes; 1t ought to
build a detention home and employ a
person to run It who knows something
about such institutions.
Mr.. Tindall, the chief probation off,
Ger, has a big problem on his hands,
and with the small staff OF assistants
he now has. the problems loom up a
great deal bigger than they otherwise
would
81 believe in the children's court. It's
the court of the future and it's funda-
versally applied to the problems Of
adul crime"

Outside of Adams and possibly
Bowman counties, Senator Simpson
will find it quite clear sailing for the

throughout the district except in those
two counties, where he will have a lit

he is exceptionally strong and / feel
that if the voting rested alone in the
territory south and west of the river,
the nomination would easily be his.
Secretary of State Norton will pos

is very little enthusiasm for him.

HAS BOUGHT BUSINESS
n. w. Benton Has Purchased JeweIry
Store of NJ. c. Anderson on
Broadway.

H. W. Benton, popularity known as
Doc Benton, has purchased the jew
elry store which has been conducted
for several years by N. C. Anderson.
Mr.. Benton took charge of the estab-
lishment as it's owner yesterday, hav-
ing completed the negotiations Monday
night. .t..
The new owner is one of Fargo's
bright and promising young business
men and has a large circle of acquaint-
ances socially and in a business way
who will wish him every success in
his undertaking. For some time Mr..
Benton has been in charge of the
Anderson store so no one is more thor
oughly conversant with the business
and more capable of making 1t succeed
than it's new owner. During the alb
sence OF Mr.. Anderson in the west in
the last year Mr.. Benton has had COM
plete charge of the business and his
succession to the ownership is most
logical.

DITCHING PLANS
GIVEN SETBACK

Thief River Falls, Mimi, Feb. a.
The progressive proposition Of drain
6 of valuable agricultural lands re-
ceived a backset, last Friday, at Be-
midi, when the county commissioners
of Beltrami county adopted a resolution
refusing to guarantee the validity of
ditching bonds issued for reclamation
purposes. This action will prohibit the
construction of any further drainage
bitches in Beltrami county, though it
will not interfere with the completion
of the great drainage systems now UNI
der curse of construction in Western
Beltrami county, adjoining Marshall
and Pennington counties.
The reasons assigned by the Bel
trami commissioners for this action
are that Beltrami county cannot af-
ford in its present financial condition
to assure any more responsibility.
There are those who sec in it political
and commercial reasons, which make
the residents of the southern end of
the county but little enthused over
developments which might insure ben-
efits to other communities.

North Dakota Students Work
Their Way Through College

College history OF today may not
contain very many of the heroic tales
OF the boys who sawed wood to earn
their way through college or lived on
the frugal diet of oatmeal porrfdge
In order that their hungry minds
might be satisfied, but some data re-
Gently collected by the presidents's Of
hce at the university points to the fact
that, at least al the university of
North Dakota, stories of the self sup
porting student with the strength and
tenacity of purpose necessary to tri-
umph over great obstacles, may be cas-
ily found without going to the library
shelves and referring to the biogra-
phfes of the stalwarts OF the olden
students Of the University OF North
students of the university OF North
Dakota earn all or part of the money
necessary to pay their way through
college. Some even lay UP surplus.
1t was to ascertain the real facts as
to wha fraction of the student body
are actually seIf-supporting and how
many are retarded in their progress
through school by the necessity Of
staying out to work, as well as TO as
certain the characteristic occupations
that furnish the disappearing stu
dents with their opportunities that a
QUESTIONABLE was sent out some time
ago to all of the students in the uni
verslty. Only a part Of those to whom
1t was addressed responded, SO it was
impossible to draw any conclusions as
to the whole student body. but enough
did respond to bring together a very

problem Of student finances. Thirty
eight per cent of those reporting stated
that they earned all Of their expenses,
Al per cent earn part and 81 per cent
earn none. Twenty-Five per cent of
the number reporting stated that they
were obliged to stay out of school one
year or more in order to a money
to carry on their education. OF the
studenst who reported as wholly self
supporting, 16 per cent were women.
Another interesting line OF data is
contained in the facts relating to the
amounts spent by the students annu-
ally. The highest annual expense re-
ported was $3.50 and the lowest was
$3.50, while the reports range all the
way between these two extremes with
the average of 1929. This g~eneraliza-
ton would seem to put an emphatic
denial on the statement that the Uni
versity of North Dakota is growing.
From these facts it would appear
that the university is what it should
ever remain, an institution where the
poor have equal opportunities with the
rich. Students they are. and their
number is not few, who have worked
and figured and saved for years in or

NOT so WELL HEALED
BUT HEEL WILL HEAL.

New England, Feb. 14.-Paul Kittle-
son, who is staying with George Ger
Itch at the Mead ranch, was the VIC
tim of an accident hat luckily term
mated without any very serious re-
suits. Mr.. Gerlich came in from the
field and was in the act of extracting
cartridges from a shot gun. While
manipulating the gun the Weapon
discharged the bulk of the shot hit
ting the floor close to Mr.. Kittleson's
foot. AS the shot struck the floor at
a glancing angle a number Of the lit
tie lead pellets and numerous splint-
ers of wood took effect in Mr.. Kittle-
sons heel.
A physician was called from New
England and the wounded foot was
dressed. The physician found more
splinters than shot, but neither had
penetrated deeply. Mr.. Kittleson was
soon made comfortable and is con-
graduating himself over his escape
from a more serious accident.
Mr.. GerIich was in no way care
less in handling the gun and Mr.. Kit
tleson would not have been hit were
it not for the glancing of the shot
after striking the floor, as it is, Mr..
Kittleson is not quite SO well heeled.
but the doctor thinks the heel win
heal in a short time.
