/ Bismarck, N. D., Sept, 13.-Is, litiga-
tion, on the increase in North Dakota
1t would appear SO from the fact that
the reports of the supreme court viii
fill three volumes for the past year.
when heretofore one volume a year
held the decisions. Volume %, is ex-
pected from the press within a few
days; volume % is in the hands, of
the printer, and II will be delivered,
probably, in October, and there is ma
terial enough in the hands of the court
reporter to fill volume "A. While liti-
cation in the state may not be on the
increase, there is no question but what
appeals ito the supreme court have
greatly increased There are four
terms of court yearly, and, the term
which opened last Tuesday. September
2, has 141 cases on the calendar
thirty of these are old cases which
came over from the last term, leaving
121 new cases. When it is considered
that there will be another term, the
first Tuesday in December, one gets
some notion of the work which must
be accomplished by the judges of the
court in order to keep the calendar
clear and not delay litigation.
There have been some. radical
changes made in the practice of the
court by the 1913 legislature and acts
of previous legislatures. Only six
months are allowed now for an appeal
where formerly it was year. No
printed abstract is required; the clerk
of the district court furnishes three
certified copies of the testimony in
each appeal to the clerk Of the su-
preme court. Under the new law when
the appeal papers arrive at the office
of the clerk of the supreme court the
case goes automatically on the cal \
endar and there is no delay. awaiting
previous motions. It behooves the at
torney appealing to attend to his case
or it is apt,to be dropped from the
calendar at the beginning Of the next
term, or may, be dismissed at,any time
by motion Of the opposing counsel.
In the language of the baseball dia-
mond, the case is to bat from the mo-
ment it Is received by Mr.. Hoskins,
clerk of the supreme court, and the
attorney who has a meritorious ap-
peal has to field his position all the
time if he expects to get anywhere.
The long delays in the supreme court
to a, very large extent, are
things of the past.

Real Danger and Genuine Thrills
Fall to Lot of Men Who Act
in Pictures.

~ INCE the world began. the telling
of stories has been recognized as
one of the important professions
At first, the story tellers gathered
their patrons about them and told their
wonderful legends by word Of mouth.
When man learned how to read and
write the professional story teller wrote
the tale. and where before only those
who came within the radius of his
voice were fortunate enough to hear the
tales of romance and adventure that
fell from his lips, thousands were en-
abled to read what he had to say.
Now. for the first time comes a rival
to the spoken and written story. 1t is
the motion picture. which has upset the
scheme of telling stories that has ex-
listed since the world was young. Did
you ever think. when reading some
story of the Indians told by some mo-
tion picture company that the world
has revived the old type of adventure?
Only now the adventures are profess
siOnals, people who engage in all sorts
of hazardous episodes for strictly bUsi-
ness purposes On account of the motion
picture camera there are about 5000 men
and women in the United States who
play soldier. fight duels, and go forth
to rescue maidens, not because they
feel that they have any particular call
TO do these things, but because of the
nice fat pay envelope which comes reg
ularly every week
