AFFIRM LOWER COURT.
Supreme Court Hands Down Decision
in Ward County Case.

The following decision has just been
announced by the supreme court:
John S. Sneve and Bredine Sreve.
plaintiffs and respondents. VS.. George
S. Schwartz and Sallie NJ. Schwartz,
defendants and appellants.
Plaintiffs and defendants entered
into the written executory contract set
up in the opinion, whereby they we're
to exchange certain properties at Il
future date after abstracts of title had
been furnished and. the deeds de-
posted in escrow. Plaintiff brings
this suit alleging false and fraudulent
representations upon the part of de-
into said contract. Defendants demur
upon the ground that the complaint
does not state facts sufficient to con-
stitute q cause of action. In answer
thereto it is held:
l. That where the contract is en-
tirely ~eXecutory and the defendant has
parted with nothing of value, and
where plaintiffs bring the action
promptly upon discovering that they
have been defrauded. the said action
is sufficient notice of plaintiffs cleo
ton to rescind said contract.
2. Where defendants had until the
18th OF November to furnish the last
abstract of title and deposit the deed
in escrow. and the plaintiffs served
their complaint twenty-four days
thereafter, such delay is not fatal to
the bringing Of the action as the plain
tifs would need some time to look
up the reasons why the deed and alb.
stract had not been furnished, to as
certain whether or not defendants had
misrepresented material statements
to them in obtaining their consent to
the contracts. Also the plaintiffs would
need time to consult attorneys, and
the attorneys would need time to in
vestigate the facts and properly r
pare the complaint.
;. The allegation of the complain,
that one of the plaintiffs was mental
~ incapable of transacting business
1s not given as q reason for resembling
h contract, but as a fact going to
show fraud upon the part Of the de-
PENDANTS in inducing him to sign the
contract.
A. The complaint alleges upon in
rmatio and belief that the defend
ants have no title to the premises
agreed by them to be conveyed. In
view Of the fact that the defendants
might have had title which was no
OF record. this is the only allegation
that the plaintiffs could safely make,
and 1t Is held sufficient.
o.. The complaint alleges suffcicnt
words of scienter, which words are
set forth in the opinion.
s. Complaint examined and held
that 1t alleges that the plaintiffs re.
lied upon the representations of de.
fendants and would not otherwise
have entered into the same.
:. Held, that the complaint sui.
ficfently alleges that defendants repre-.
scented that they would convey ia

on new plan

Petitions are Being Circulat-
ed for Adoption of the
Commission Plan.

Fargo. N. D.. March THE bill to
permit cities to vote on the commits
sion plan was signed yesterday by the
governor. and yesterday petitions were
circulated by Alderman Mcdonald and
States Attorney Fowler.
The question of changing from the
present form Of city government to
the commission form was presented to
the people four years ago and was de-
feated. Tho petitions which were be-
Ing circulated yesterday on the streets

500 Signers Required.
Before the question can come be-
fore the city council the petition must
be signed by 10 per cent Of the voters
at the last city election. Under these
conditions. 1t will be necessary to have
fore the question q come before the
council. =
Expect 10 Get 500.
According to the statement Of AL
derman Mcdonald, the 800 names will
nave been signed before the meeting
Of the council tonight and they will
set a date at which time the special
election will be held and the question
Of changing the present form to the
commission form will be decided by
the people. at the time appointed by
the city council.
May Vote This Month.
In all probability the special cleo
ton will be held the last Of this
month, and under the law 20 days
must elapse before the election Of the
commissioners occurs, II the vote up
on the commission form Of govern
ment is favorable.
There is considerable possibility
that the dates set for the special cleo
ton will be early enough to eliminate
the voting for alderman, which under
the present conditions is scheduled
for April z.
Process OF Election.
If the commission form is the deci-
sion Of the people at the special cleo
ton. fve commissioners will be elect
ed at large and the various business
departments Of the city will come un-
der the management of the commits
sioners elected. The commissioner
receiving the largest huber Of votes
Will hold the position among the
business administrators of the city
comparable to that at present held by
the mayor.
The fact that the commission form
defeated four years g does not
indicate. according to those interested.
that 1t will not be adopted at the COM
ing election.

The Balkan Princess.

AT the. Metropolitan on Tuesday
evening Samuel r. Rork's production
OF the English musical comedy, 1.-The
Balkan Princess" will be the attrac-
ton. The production. after one entire
year in London ran the greater part
of last season at the Herald square
and Casino theaters. closing the run
at the Casino to make way for the
revival Of "Pinafore." This is really
the first tour Of the piece.
The story Of THE Balkan Princess
involves plenty Of romance with an
equally liberal allowance Of comedy.
The princess. Stephanie by name.
by the laws Of that country finds her
self in such position that she must
either marry n Of six grand dukes
within a week or else abandon her
throne. Both of these alternatives
are d~isagreeable. However. one of the
six. Duke Sergius, has declined to
come to the palace with the other Ave
to sue for the hand Of the princess.
Stephanie is piqued by this behavior
court. proceeds directly to a Bohe-
milan restaurant. where she meets
Sergius. has him arrested for treason
and he is imprisoned in the palace.
The end of the week arrives. and
Stephanie has gone to the extreme OF
signing her abdicatton before love
triumphs SO that she and Sergius may
rule happily together as long as they
live.
The comedy is supplied by Henri.
the waiter at the restaurant; his wife,
Magda, who has become royal char
woman in the palace. and a pair OF
bogus princes. The prologue takes
place in the garden outside the pal
ace: the first act occurs in the Bohe-
milan restaurant the following even
ing. and the second act is laid In the
palace garden a week later. There
are twenty musical numbers, most OF
which have already become musical
classics. The cast includes Julia Gif-
ford. who is said to have the voice OF
a nightingale. N. E. Dano. from the
grand opera at Covent Garden. Lon
don. Eulalie Young, a we'll known
|comedienne, Joseph w. Standish. who
created the principal comedy role IN
London. and William Meyers. h will
be seen in his original part Of the
American production. Other promt-
nent members are Mae Harrington.
George Poultney. Vera Rossmore.
| Wallace Beery. n Tom Van. The
chorus of forty Balkanese beauties re-
mains the same in almost each indt-
vidual case. There Is only one pro-
duction of 1.-THE Balkan Princess" and
theatergoers may be assured OF seeing

Question Saturday.
S~herbrooke, n. d.. March Next
Saturday the question of the consoli-
dation of the schools Of Sherbrooke
district nm before the voters and
there seems to be little doubt but that
it will carry. OF the three questions
on the ballot the only issue appears
to he on the location. There seems to
have prevailed the idea hat a central
or consolidated school building should
be placed as near as possible to the
center of the township. We believe,
however. that the idea of the better
education promoters is to place such a
school in h community center which
would of curse naturally fall in the
center where there are no villages or
other community clusters.
The whole aim of consolidation is to
get together. that is t, make the COM
munity life the sum total energy and
activity OF it's individual members.
Which ever way this election Satur-
day should go then, must be the will
Of the community and for the COM
munity's gain. If a loser sulk the aim
of consolidation is lost. AS the Dutch
man says. it vas better dat We works

considerable impetus in Cavalier coun-
ty this winter. and preparations are
now being made for a big %three-day
conference, which will be held here
March IS. IA II Is.
To date nineteen of these clubs have
been formed and are actively engag-
ed in furthering the objects for which
they were organized. They are locat-
ed in community centerS II are not
only becoming effective or promoting
the social life of the country side. but
are discussing problems affecting their
farming methods with the result that
in many instances specific steps are
being taken toward lettering their
conditions. The membership of these
clubs, ranging from twelve or forty in
number, is represented in each dis
trict of the most progressive farmers
in the neighhorhood and if properly
directed will in time prove the means
of furtlering their interests, financial
1y and otherwise.
A county organization of clubs is
now under way and will be perfected
at a county farmers school to be held
at. Langdon March IS, Il n 10. This
organization should unity the work OF
the various clubs to such an extent
that they will be in position to AXE UP
problems ornmon to the entire
ty.

uing in session until Saturday, March
IS, at noon. has been completed. and
is one of the most elaborate Of its
kim ever arranged.
At eight different points in the
ty farmers schools have been held
by the field agents of the association
cooperating with the local farmers
clubs. Discussions have been held
concerning local problems in n
ton with live stock. tillage methods,
alfalfa. corn and othe: topics. These
schools have had an attendance of
from so to 200 farmers. n have been
invaluable in creating interest in a bet
ter system Of farming and a demand
for more live stock on the farm. Sew
eral new features of the work among
which may be mentioned the forma-
ton OF a Milton Boy Farmers club
organized for the specific purpose CT
testing seed grains in that vicinity and
the cooperative raising of trial fields
of Marquis wheat by the clubs, are
conspicuous this year.
Interest has been aroused in several
districts in different classes of live
stock, especially in dairy stock and
hogs. Several pure bred sires and
some breeding stock have been ship
ped in as a result. m a proposition
is now under way to bring a carload
or more of high grade Holstein heif-
ers. A new sentiment has been o
