SUPREME court
TO HEAR CASES
City Attorney to Argue Four
Actions at Bismarck
Monday.

j. IS. Wineman and George A. Bangs
will leave Sunday for Bismarck to
argue four cases in which the city is
concerned, scheduled to be taken up
by the supreme court Monday.
Three of the cases in question have
arisen from the effort of the Red Riv-
er Brick company to prevent the ex-
tension Of the city limits to include
it's property. The case is an appeal
by the Robertson Lumber company
from a decision Of the district court
ordering the payment of the com.
pany's assessment for the DeMers ave.
nue. sewer.
The lumber company's ease will be
the first one heard.
When the matter of the extension
of h city limits to include the prop.
erty of the brick company was heard
In IN district court, Judge Temple
held that the ordinance by which
h extension had been accomplished
was illegal owing to certain changes
which were made at the time of the
final reading.
The city appealed the case to the
district court. and then proceeded to
levy assessments against the COM
pany's property. AS a result of this
the company brought action for con-
tempt of court against the mayor, city
auditor, city treasurer M city at
torney. These actions were heard by
Judge kneeshaw who held in favor of
the city. The company then appealed
to the supreme court. {:
1t is expected that the arguments
In all four cases will be completed by
next Tuesday.

FOOD ALLOWANCE
remains RIGID
High Cost of Living Be-
comes Serious Problem
at County Jail.

The high cost Of living bids fair
to become an important problem at
the Grand Forks county Jail.
For the last six years the sheriff
has been allowed 20 cents a day for
the feeding of each prisoner confined
there. While the amount allowed per
has remained the same the cost
OF food has been steadily increasing,
however.
At present food costs almost SO per
cent more than it did five years age.
The sheriff is not anxious to Fec the
prisoners like kings but If the H. C..
L. continues to go up, it appears that
some further provision must be made
by the county.
At the city Jail the amount paid for
meal is 20 cents: Two years ago
1t was Is cents but the steady rise in
food prices made the higher price
necessary.
AS few prisoners are confined at the
police station for any length of time,
however, the amount spent for food
Is comparatively small.

Chicago. Dec. 2o.-Delegtacs from
the free employment bureau Of SIX
states. assembled in convention,

ing houses of the charitable institu-
tons are all full and we have no place

Need Help in Canada.
The only report of jobs with no one
to I'LL them came fro mthe. Canadian
province Of Alberta. George NJ. Hall,
industrial commissioner, reported a
scarcity of housemaids and school
teachers. I'VE can use 400 school
teachers and almost as many house,
maids as will apply" he said.
W make "a practice of co-opera-
ton among our state Offices" said w.
J.. Leiserson, superintendent of the

believe that one of the objects of the
association we are to organize should
be to further cooperation among all
OF the state employment OFFICES. We
often have positions We are unable
to fill, and at nresent have many men
We want Jobs for. Proper cooperation
would relieve this condition. l be-
lleve there Is always u job somewhere
for every man. The nroblem is tc

Two Delegates Disagree.

Michigan commissioner of labor. over
n relative merits of the record Keep.
ing systems in their offices. Mr.. Sears
labeled as impossible" the results
