TAKING TEST CASE
INTO SUPREME
Transient Merchant law Will
be Submitted for Approx
al in Near Future.

States Attorney BurtneSs and Attor-
e General Andy Miller, representing
North Dakota in the case of State VS..
Jeffe l.. Fleming. are preparing briefs
in the case, preparatory to IN appeal
to the supreme court by the defend
ant.
The case involves a point OF consti-
tutional law that is interesting to say
the least. Fleming was in the en-
ploy of j. r. Nandewater of Mound
City. Missouri, and as such brought
a carload of apples to Niagara, where
he sold them directly from the car to
merchants and various buyers. He
was arrested, charged with violating
the transient merchant law which pro-
videS that only merchants located in
the state or those procuring a license
can sell goods. On conviction an APP
peal was taken.
The defendant contends that the
law is unconstitutional, and that in
affecting him, as the state claims, it is
a violation of interstate commerce and
%interfereS with the federal regulations.
The defendant further goes on to say
that the apples. in their natural state
and loaded in bulk in a car, were or
iginal packages and the state can
make no law regarding their sale. I'M
til out Of the original package-other-
wise the car.
There are several nice points involv-
ed and the final decision on h statute
by the supreme court will be awaited
with interest by the large number of
people directly or indirectly affected.

chant in the state.

new TYPHOID CURE
IS USED BY
DOCTOR
Naval Recruiting Officers In
oculated Yesterday
Work of Station.

The new typhoid p%rophylactic
which was discovered by surgeons of
the army and navy has been admins
tered to the members of the local
marine corps recruiting party by DR..
w. H.. Witherstine. who is acting in
the capacity Of examining surgeon for
tne marine corps in this city.
rms treatment Is rarely used out
slde OF n service and is only obtain
able at present through the govern
ment. 1T acts as a positive %preventa-
tive Of typhoid and has been tested
and experimental with in the service
III all parts Of the world.
FIRST Lieut.. Robert L. Denig, U. S.
NJ. c., who has charge of all the re-
cruiting offices in this district while in
town yesterday inspecting the local Of
nee and conditions in regard to re-
cruiting, has commissioned DIR, With
erstine to administer the treatment, as
1t was impractible to send the men,
bers Of the party to st. Paul. where a
naval surgeon is available, so local
surgeons acting as medical examiners
are commissioned to administer the
treatment. which is furnished by the
naval surgeon on duty at st. Paul.
Sergeant j. V. Elder was treated to-
day.. n as it is considered that three
treatments are sufficient to secure i'm
munity, he has two to take vet. The
treatment is very simple and does not
cause any Inconvenience as it is in
Jected hypodermatically in the arm
n Is altogether different from vac
cination.
Corporal Hewitt will not receive the
treatment as he was inoculated last
year while on duty with the provision
al brigade of marines in Cuba during
the Mexican revolution. The entire
brigade, consisting of over three
Thousand men. were inoculated at thai
time, and, although the conditions
were very favorable to typhoid, not a
single case of fever developed.
The authorities Of the army and
navy have decided this year to make
incubation for typhoid compulsory to
all who enter the service and it is now
administered to all during their first
year of service with the result that
typhoid, which used to be common, is
now reduced to such an extent that a
case of typhoid is a very rare occur
ence.
Lieutenant Denig stated tina all
men on recruiting duty for the army.
navy and marine corps. in the district
of Minnesota, which includes North
n South Dakota, with the exception
of the two men at the local office have
been treated by service doctors at st.
Paul and Duluth, but on account of
the number Of recruits that are being
obtained in Grand Forks and the good
work of DIR. Witherstine as examining
surgeon it was considered inadvisable
to send the members of the party on
duty here to st. Paul for the time that
would be necessary to take the treat
ment, which is thirty days.

CIRCUS
POPULAR PRICED SHOW

Sells-Floto consolidated show is
booked to appear in Grand Forks on
Wednesday, August 81. For many
years now. this popular priced attrac-
ton has been coming back greatly II
larged in every way. and positively
giving more for the money than any
kindred attraction touring the coun-
try. This season the management an
nounces that they have added many
and special features to those
which are considered a part and par
eel of the conventional circus. Among
these are several European novelties
which have before been seen in
this country, the wonder of it all be-
ing how the Sells-Floto people can
give such a marvellous performance at
such a small price.
That they are able to do so, how
ever. is proven by the fact that for
three years they have cut the time
honored price in half and made money
by doing SO. all of which goes to show
that even in the circus world, and
where the daily expenses run up into
the thousands. the theory of popular
prices 8 practical.
Two performances will be given
here on the day the circus arrives.
The grand street parade will, as usual,
he a spectacle of more than ordinary
magnificence.

BLOODS COME
TO TAKE PLACES IN
SMART SET

North Dakota is fast coming to
the front as the homo of. great
dogs, which may be news to that
part of the public which does not
keep informed about the doings
in the high society of dogdom.
Recent additions to the ranks in
North Dakota are two of the
greatest English settlers in this
country.
Pride of Whitestone' was pur-
chased some time ago by j. j.
Torrey of Cando. He is a son of
Count Whitestone. the greatest
dog Of his day. and Oracle Glad
stone, and is a four or five times
winner in both chicken and quail
trials. Pride of Whitestone is
still a young dog and will no doubt
be heard from in other big trials.
The other recent importation to
the state is Champion Jessie Rod
fields Count Gladstone, a dog
with a field trial record longer
than his name, having won in
eighteen field trials and quite a
number of times on the bench.
He has won two championships in
the field. This dog has been own
ed until recently by Jess Sher-
wood of Chicago. who had been
offered several thousand dollars
for the dog on a number of occa-
sions, but money would not buy
him. Mr.. Sherwood died last win
ter and the dog was bought by
+. c. Martin of Hope.
1t is likely that both of these
great dogs will be in Grand Forks
the latter part of this month for
the field trials of the Grand Forks
Kennel club and local %fanciers are
looking forward to their coming
with as great interest as horse
men would for Dan Patch or base
ball fans would for Ty Cobb or
HOnuS Wagner.

WARNING AGAINST AN
NEW INSECT
PEST
Shaw Advises Farmers to
Look Out for Alfalfa
Weevil.
(Ry Prof. Thos. Shawl

80
In the state of Utah an insect pest
has appeared which is doing much
harm to the alfalfa crop. This insect
lPhytonomuS poSticicS) has been
known for Il long time in the old
world. For many decades if not in
deed centuries, it has preyed upon
the alfalfa of southern Europe. west
ern Asia and northern Africa. In this
country it was first noticed on the
outskirts Of Salt Lake City, Utah, in
1904. Its ravaGes had become so EN-
tended by 1907 that the attention of
the Utah experiment station was call
ed to it. BY 1911 it had reached
parts of Wyoming and Idaho adjacent
to Utah. In 1909 the governor of
Utah appealed It the United States
department of agriculture to aid the
Utah experiment station in fighting
the pest. Since that time the depart
ment has employed scientists to try
and find some effective means OF COM
batting the pest.
Pest Described.
The alfalfa weevil is thus described
in bulletin No. 112, department of
entomology, United States department
of agriculture, by Prof. i. NJ. Web
ster. 1T is a small. rather insigniti-
cant appearing beetle, slightly under
one-fourth of an inch long. of a
brown color, mixed with gray and
black hairs arranged i'm indistinct
spots and stripes o nth" back" The
eggs are laid in the spring and early
summer within the stems nr on the
buds and leaves. and they hatch with
in about ten days. The larvas are
small greenish worms wit h ablack
head. When full grown they are
about one-fourth of an inch long.
They prey upon the crop buds. the
and even upon the stalks. The
damage resulting may vary with the
conditions from very slight to almost
complete destruction Of the cutting.
The hay obtained from infested fields
is very woody because Of the absence
of leaves. and it is much liable to
irduce coughing whe MED to horses.
Fighting Methods.
Various methods Of fighting have
been tried. These have only been
partially successful. These include
discing to stimulate growth, grazing
with sheep, drawing a street sweeper
or wire brush over the field. and
burning the stubbles. Attempts are
ais obeing made to introduce para
sites from the eastern hemisphere
which will prey upon the weevils. 1t
is also considered important to de-
strOy all trash such as grows along
the borders of irrigating canals. and
in waste places generally. The in
sects hide in these and also under
clods and about the crowns of al
falfa plants where they hibernate.
The bulletin referred to does not
say anything as to the measures that
should be adopted in uninfested areas
to prevent the introduction of the

territory. the invasion will
occur through the migration of the
in the spring of the year. But
the fact hat the beetles came to
Utah from the old world. makes it
clear that invasion may come in poor
ly cleaned seed. 1t may certainly
come in alfalfa hay.
1t would be nothing short of a
calamity to have this insect introduce

Mr.. Paulson started his plants out
