NO MORE seed
GRAIN ARRESTS

Mandan, N. D.. Feb. 3.-Hans Rud
and o. G. Anderson, two farmers liv-
ing near Flasher. were brought before
Justice of the peace. H. l.. Henke. In
Mandan, last Friday, charged with
selling the crop produced from seed
grain furnished by the county. At the
hearing it developed that there was no
evidence showing that they had sold
any of the crop produced from grain
so furnished, and on motion OF AS
sistant States Attorney Langren the
two cases were dismissed and the de-
fendants discharged from custody.
States Attorney Biting, in speak
ing of the cases afterward, said that
he would issue no further warrants
against farmers for selling crops, even
IL the seed grain was furnished by the
county. He further said that 1t is a
great burden and expense for a farm
er to come into the county seat TO
answer a charge upon which there is
no evidence when it comes to hear
ing. Mr.. Biting also stated that IN
his opinion the law does not con-
template that the collections for seed
grain are to be enforced by criminal
arrests, and trying to make a criminal
out of a man just because he is hard
UP: moreover, he states, the county is
amply protected in the matter as the
amount furnished to each farmer is
carried out against him on the tax
list, and can be enforced as any other
tax collection.

SHOE MEN
ARE NOT A
COMBINE
Supreme Court Decides Against
Government
Shoe Men Did Not Violate the
Sherman Trust Law
First Suit Government Attor
neyS Have Lost

Washington, Feb. 3.-The govern
ment suffered its first defeat in the re-
cent antitrust campaign when the su-
preme court held the officials of the
United Shoe Machinery Co. had not
violated the Sherman law by organic
ing that company. The court did not
pass upon the legality of the system
by which the company leases machin-
cry on the terms that no independent"
machinery is to be used.
The action of the supreme court grew
out OF the Massachusetts federal court
ahnulllng one of the two indictments
brought against the shoe machinery
company officials, The Massachusetts
court took the position the indictments
did not state the offense under the
sherman law The government appeal
ed ito. the supreme court.
The government in the indictment
alleged the officials of the company
violated the law. first by the ,organiza-
ton of the United shoe corpora ton.
second by. the system of leasing their
machines, whereby. patrons were com
PEELED to promise not to use machinery
made by Independents, but use only
those Of the alleged combine.

.TE LEGISLATURE
COk CTIVE !. !.
MEdJRE TO
Be INTRODUCED

Bismarck. n. D., Feb. ,3.-When the
legislative assembly reconvenes Tues
day 1T is understood that a number of
corrective measures will be introduced
looking to the Strengthening out and
slmpllhcation of the business in the Of
tice OF the secretary of state.
Under the present law the secretary
or state. issues licenses to railway tick
ct agents, and it is proposed that the
law be changed so as to make it the
duty of the board of railroad commits
sioners to issue these licenses.
Under the present laws licenses for
warehouses are issued by the railroad
commissions, the secretary of state
and the governor The railroad COM
missioners license elevators and grain
warehouses. The secretary of state
issues licenses to commission and pro-
duce merchants, and the governor is
sues licenses to warehouses doing a
general storage business. 1t is pro-
posed to have the laws so amended as
to make it the duty of the board of
railroad commissioners to issue licenses
to all warehouses and commission mer-
chants.
Railway companies seeking to extend
their lines in this state, are required
to file their plats and the recording of
the proceeds of the railroads board of
directors in the office of the secretary
of state. 1t is proposed that the law be
so amended as to provide that these
papers be filed with the board of rail-
road commissioners instead Of with the
secretary of state.
The legislative assembly of 1911 en-
acted a license law which requires the
secretary of state to collect the fee of
So and to provide the tags, and to pay
all expenses incident, after which the
money is to be apportioned back to
the counties from which the fees were
paid. There has been much criticism
of this method of handling state funds,
and it is proposed that the law be
amended this year so as to require the
secretary of state to collect the fee and
to turn it over to the state treasury,
and that the expenses incident to the is
suing of the corporation record be
paid out of the general fund, rather
than as the law now provides, requir-
ing the secretary of state to pay all of
the expenses incident to the recording
of these reports, and turning into the
treasury the funds after all expenses
have been paid at the end of the year.
The new secretary of state, Thomas
Hall, is active in proposing these cor
rective measures and it is thought that
the Legislative assembly will come to
his assistance. q sfg 7t ..gt.rs $751;.

REPORT Of
HITCHCOCK
Would Lower Postal Rates
Raise Weight Limit

Washington. Feb 3.-Postmaster
General Hitchcock's annual report,
made public today, tentatively sug-
rates and increasing the limit of
weight beyond eleven pounds: rec
ommends civil pensions for postal en-
pIoyes; an /crease in rates on second
class mail which may pave the way
for / cent letter postage; the con-
solidation of the third and fourth
classes so books and papers may be
forwarded by parcel post, and points
out that during his administration,
expense of operating the postal sery-
ice has been cut down $4,000, 900.
In course of statement on the
condition of postal finances, Mr..
Hitchcock says in his report:
'In 1911, for the first time since,
1888, postal receipts exceeded postal
expenditures, leaving surplus instead
of a deficit. A heavy loss of revenue
amount of franked matter mailed In
the political campaign, created a
temporary deficit, but since the closa
of the fiscal year the income Of the
department again has outstripped ex-
penses,
''The year preceding the present ad 81
ministration was marked by the Iaxga
est pOSLal ueiIClI on TecOTu amounting
to $17,500,000. During the next two
years the deficit was greatly reduced
and later eliminated. When compared
with financial showing OF four years
ago the reports of income and expense
for subsequent years indicate an ag-
gregate saving of about $45, 900. GOO.
"The transformation of q deficit in
to surplus has been accomplished
not by curtalling the service, but BY
developing it along profitable lines.
While postal facilities have been great

PARIS FLOODS
FEARED AGAIN

Paris, Feb. S.--Fears of a repetition
of the disastrous flood which occurred
here in 1910-11 have been aroused by
the rapid rising of the river Seine.
The level of water today is mounting
two inches an hour.
In the low lying quarters of the
city, especially the southwestern dis
trict of Bercy, the water is already in
the streets. CONSERVATION reigns
among the residents.
The rain ceased today in Paris,
but continues to fall in the up-country
regions.

should be labeled with peculiar label
that should be uniform for everything,
one that can easily be distinguished
and one that the people could recognize
even at glance. 1t will be an easy
matter for the people to ask for a
Fargo label on the goods. Fargo is
large enough and patriotic enough to
help her manufacturers and the best
way to help them is to buy the goods
they make. ] am strongly in favor Of
label being secured at once"
II. w. GeareY.
H. w. Gearey of the Merchants
National bank remarked: Il am
strongly in favor OF Fargo goods for
Fargo consumption, as much as pos
sible. 1t Is such an easy thing for
the people, and by the people. | mean
the consumer to simply ask for Fargo
made goods that I think all will be
willing to do a part. The only thing
Is to keep the slogan in your mind
every time you enter a store and then
it will come naturally to you. 1t
would make strangers open their eyes
If they would be i'm store and hear
customer after customer asking for
Fargo made goods. Why, ! don't know
Of anything that would give the city
such good advertisement"
President McHose Pleased.
Il just want to say that / am more
than pleased that the people of the city
are taking hold of the project Of Fargo
goods for Fargo people, for it is one
that / have been thinking about for a
long time. 1t means that every manu-
featuring plant in the city will feel that
1t has the people back Of II, and feel
certain that before long many of the
plants will have to enlarge. Do you
know that there are little plants in
this city IL patronized as they should
be by the people of this city, that
could not begin to supply the demand,
and then it would he necessary for
them to enlarge. / am glad that the
manufacturing association, of which
am president, has taken up this idea
and ] believe that the committee that
was appointed, will solve the problem
of keeping the slogan in the minds OF
the people all Of the time. ], too, am
in favor of the label idea and hope that
one will be selected and put to work at
once"
Plenty of Ways.
Frank CLANCY, who is a member of
the committee thinks that it would be
the easiest thing In the world for a
man who wanted a cigar, to say: Give
me Fargo cigar" or If he was going
to get a new bed, "GiVe me a Fargo
mattress and Fargo bedsprings." or a
fellow who wanted to make his girl a
present to say, Give me box of Far
go candy"
why do you know said Mr.. Cha-
ney, you can buy Fargo pickles, both
dill and the other kind here and there
isn't a day in the week that family
man couldn't use the slogan give me q
Fargo this and that. Our committee
will meet in the near future and pre-
pare a report and / want to tell you,
too, that we will have something in
that report in regard to the label. This
label should be a uniform one and
should be pasted on every article that
is made in this city. 1t will help to A.
considerable extent and ! expect the
label to be prepared soon"
Secretary Hardy is just now prepar-
ing a list of the articles that are made
in Fargo and these will be given great
circulation in the city.

SKIN GRAFTING
SAVED GIRLS LIFE

Mandan, N d. Feb. s.--Miss Bar
bara Schlinger, the young girl who
was so terribly burned by kerosene
explosion last December, will soon be
out of the hospital, almost fully re-
covered from her injuries. At first
it was thought impossible to save the
young lady, and later the doctors be-
lieved that one arm would have to be
amputated. but careful attention and
considerable skin grating has en-
abled her to recover completely.
The first grating was done the last
of December, when skin was taken
from her brother and sister, Anton
and Theresa. Most of it took, but
some few pieces sloughed and it has
been decided necessary to apply just
g. little more to the left arm A man
Iy consented to give the needed cuti-
Gle and the operation was performed
Saturday.

The action Of the Fargo Manu-
facturers' association in preparing to
make a campaign in favor of Fargo
made goods for Fargoans. seems to
have struck the right chord with the
people of the city. The committee Of
the manufacturers, of which j. Z.
Dotson of The Forum, Frank CLANCY
of the CLANCY EVerhart Candy Co.
and r. J, Cone of the Manchester
Biscuit Co. are the members. VIII, in
the very near future, give their ideas of
what should be done IN regard to the
subject.
This committee was appointed to
devise ways and means of inducing
the housewife to make 1t point under
every and all circumstances, where 1t
is possible, to call for Fargo made
goods. the idea being to impress on
the merchant that the Fargo house
wives and heads of families wish to
pa tronize home industries.
The committee will make its report
in a short time, at meeting that will
be called by President McHose of the
association.
President Weiser Talks.
81 believe that the idea is one of tho
best that could have been sprung for
the city of Fargo as a whole" said
President Weiser of the First National
bank today II don't believe in wait
ing for anything. Let us begin at
once asking for Fargo made goods and
we will get them. II seems to me that
the people Of the city could do moth
ing better than to boost the city
by just such an action as this. If the
outside world gets to know that Far
goans sticks together as the saying
is, it will give the city a big send off
in the eyes of the world and will make
people want to come here to live and
do business. 1t shouldn't be a very
hard matter to induce people who are
living here TO. buy Fargo made goods
especially if such goods are just as
good and in some cases better than
those made elsewhere. Fargo for Far
goans is a mighty good slogan and I'd
like to hear it going all the time
How II Worked Once.
Secretary Hardy of the commercial
club was very enthusiastic over the
subject. Il believe that IL the same ef
forts that were put forth for the
Manchester Biscuit Co, are under
taken in this campaign it will have
the same effect That campaign re-
suited, | am told, in nine out of ten
of the local dealers using the local
company's product. 1t Is up to the
women of the city, first and the men
next, as to whether the campaign will
bring about all the results that may
be expected.
IF the people will actually ask for
home made goods in preference TO
others the campaign will do all we
want it to. The committee that was
appointed, 1 am satisfied, Will make
report that will assist very largely in
the good work that is even now under
way. The only way to do this is for
the people to constantly make 1t be
known that their desires are for the
home made goods and the merchants
will do the rest"
Mr.. Dotson of Committee.
J.P. Dotson Of the committee of the
manufacturers remarked that the best
way to get the matter stared was in
the way of labels. II believe that every
article made in the city of Fargo

Nearly every member of the execu-
tive committee of the Fargo CONNER
cial club was present at the meeting
which was held this afternoon at 12:
after a fine lunch at the commercial
club and many subjects which are not
yet ready to be given to the public
We're discussed.
One Of the important matters that
was brought to the attention of the
committee was the announcement that
two different manufacturing plants are
seeking admission to the city and the
propositions will be carefully looked
into by the committee and further an
nouncements will be made in few
days,
The Mass Meeting.
The committee decided on Tuesday
evening at 1880. Feb. IS, as the date for
having the mass meeting of the mem
bers of the commercial club and 1t is
hoped that every member will be in
attendance. 1t is the present inten-
tion of having lunch on that occa
sion and there will be no long speeches
made. but it will be a get together
meeting in which goodfellowship will
be the principal theme brought up as
well as the subject of What Can We
Do to Boost Fargo, which will be dis
cuSSeds Ii is, the earnest hope OF the
officers and members of the club to
make this the biggest meeting that the
club has ever had and that everyone
of the $50 members will be in attend
ance. At this meeting the budget fund
of 1912 will be taken UP and fully ex-
planned by the secretary and others.
No Special Train.
1t was the unanimous opinion of the
committee that IL was not expedient
for the club ait this time to send a
special good roads train to Bismarck

Washington, Feb. 3.--Wyomings
ratification of the income tax amend
mentment makes it one of the pro-
visions of the constitution of the
United States. Congress will enact
a law to levy the tax. probably be-
coming effective during the ii extra
ordinary session to be called by Presi-
dent -elect Wilson in March,, i.f .,
The tax itself, it's provisions and
limitations, will be left to congress.
The congressional leaders who have
been preparing for the final ratifica-
ton by the states, estimate the income
tax would bring the government
about s100,000,000 a year. -
Now that the tax is provided by the
constitution, the proposed excise tax,
framed by the democratic leaders in
1912 to meet the supreme courts
decision which held the former in
come tax unconstitutional, will be
dropped. Some of it's provisions may
be included in the new law.
Begin Tariff Bill.
The democratic members Is of the
house committee on ways and means
began the preparation of the bill for
the revision of the tariff with plan
OF nolulng executive sessions daily
until the work is completed. Probably
in March Chairman Underwood, will
submit a plan to the democratic
caucus of the house, the first week of
the extra session of congress.
Among the democratic framing the
measure are Hammond of Minnesota,
