STUDY THE CATALOGUES.

This is the time of the year when
the farmer begins to receive the seed
catalogues sent out by firms all over
the country. The receiver should
size them up just as he would an
individual calling at his place. Some
will be clean, dignified and entitled
to respect and some will be flashy
and full of "hot air." Look through
the f1ashy ones and notice the new
vegetables and claims made for them
that you know cannot possible be
true, put the catalogue in the fire
and order the seed from house
that has the appearance of reliability
and does not make claims that you
know are beyond the probability of
being true. Establish relations with
a good house and be a regular GUS
toner. Pick out a good assortment
of seed and plan to have a better
garden this year than ever before

Court Knocks Out
EuQeniC MdrridQeL Laws
SAYS STATE SHOULD WEED OUT
: UNFIT WITOUT INTERFERING
WITH OTHERS. /

Milwaukee, Mis-, Jan. 81. - The
Wisconsin eugenic law regulating the
issuance of marriage licenses, was
held unconstitutional by Circuit Judge
Eschweiler Tuesday.
Among other things the court says
the law which provides for a physi.
clans certificate of health, including
the Wasserman test, is violative of the
rights secured by the constitution and
conflicts with religious liberty be-
cause it tends to halt marriages.
The court held that if the state
wished to exercise the right of pre-
venting undesirables from marriage, it
should assume the burden Of wedding,
out the unfit and thereby not cast up
on the fit the unfair demand and thus
materially impair their inalienable
right.
The court upheld the Legislative
right to demand tests from men only
and not women.
The supreme court, 1t is expected
will ask for a final ruling on the con-.
stitutionality of the measure.
The case was taken to the courts
by Alfred Peterson, refused mar.
riage license without a health certi-
fcate January g. The decision will
enable him to secure a marriage lie.

SUNLIGHT.

Sunlight is one of the best and
cheapest disinfectants at our disposal,
and We should take advantage of this
fact at every opportunity. In the con-
struction of barns or shelters of any
kind for animals, ample provision
should be made for the admission of
the maximum amount of sunlight.
Southern exposure is desirable, that is,
having the majority of the windows
facing the south. The warmth thus
provided in cold weather is desirable,
and much of the excessive heat in
summer can be avoided by providing
suitable curtains or screens. Most dis
ease germs are easily killed by direct
sunlight, as has been repeatedly shown
by experiments.-H. Preston Hoskins,

Can Cdrm0dy Hold
His Present Position

Bismarck, N. d., Jan. 21.-The ques.
ton as to whether or not John Car
mody, ex-justice Of the supreme court,
formerly member of the board of
control of state charitable and penal
institutions and now assistant to the
attorney general of the state of North
Dakota, is legally entitled to the Office
which he now holds is agitating the
minds of the people of the state.
The law which organized the board
Of control was passed by the Twelfth
Legislative assembly in 1911 and was
signed by the governor during the ses.
sion. The part of the law upon which
the present question is raised is as
follows: mo member of the board Of
control shall be eligible to any other
lucrative Office in the state during the
term Of service or for one year there
after or to any position in any state
institution during the term for which
he was appointed, nor within one year
after his term shall have expired"
The records in the state auditors
Office show that he drew his last war
rant as member of the board of con-
troll for the month of February, 1913,
and also discloses the fact that he
paid his first months salary as assist
ant attorney general for the month Of
July Of the same year, having been out
of Office Just four months.
A letter from a taxpayer was filed
with the state auditor this morning
calling his attention to the condition
and citing the law as quoted above.
The letter also demands that legal
action be taken to recover the money
that has been paid out to Judge Car
mody. Auditor Jorgenson stated this
morning that he would ask the attor-
ney general for an opinion In the
matter and would take no action until
he hears from him.
Mr.. Carmody has held Office now for
six months and has drawn salary war.
rants for five of them, which makes
total of over $1,000 as the position
carries a salary of $2.500 a year.
There is also the question as to the
opinions Carmody has written and
signed as an assistant to the attorney
general. It is probable that there
will be litigation over that phase Of

Sentence was pronounced on Oliver
Mackey at 2 o'clock yesterday. He
was sentenced to five years and five
days in the penitentiary, which is the
minimum sentence under the law and
seems to be very satisfactory to all.
L. NJ Kuhry Of Oriska, found guilty
of maintaining 'blind pie" received
the usual 80 days in the county jail.
This was one of the hardest fought
cases of the term and the conviction
and sentence is a very decided credit
to the states attorney.

last of the week but the work will not
be finished. Several cases will have

pete in this district tournament and
the best four from the four corners of
the state will meet in tournament

C0urtendy Man for
State Treasurer

Courtenay Gazette: In last weeks
issue we stated that there was a pos.
sible chance of Courtenay furnishing
a strong candidate for the Office OF
treasurer of state at the coming pri.
maries. We took the liberty of men
tioning the same without any certain
ty of such being true at that time, but
since our last issue large number of
Mr.. Berg's friends have pursuaded
him to give his consent to become a
candidate, not only the republicans
but democratic friends of Mr.. Berg in
sisted that he should run for the Of
fee and under such strong pressure,
it was hard for him to say no. We
wish to state at this time that Mr..
Berg will be in the field for the office,
and we know Of no man that will pull
as many votes from both the demo-
cratic and republican parties than will
he, for all who know him have no fear
but he is the right man for the Office.
Mr.. Berg, as we announced in last
weeks issue, Is a good, clean, moral
upright citizen and honesty has always
been at the head of his name. He has
been found to be on the right side in
all his business dealings, and many
farmers who have done business with
him for years, still do business with
him, although they are considered out
of this territory, but they know that
square dealing is what they get when
they deal with him. Mr.. Berg will be

should not let politics stand in the |
way, when they have chance to elect

taken over the same, has stood for
good, clean men being elected to Of
fee whether they were republicans or
democrats, and We can say here that
we are offering you a man who will
prove his worth If you stay by him in

I Washington, Jan. 17.-Representa.
tive Stanley of Kentucky, after a con.
ference with President Wilson, intro.
duced late today an amendment to
the Sherman law, which would make
illegal the monopolization or restraint
of trade, "in any degree" 1t is de.
signed to eliminate the "rule of rea.
son" as laid down by the supreme
court in the Standard Oil case.
The amendment also would invest
circuit courts Of the United States
with jurisdiction to restrain and pre-.
vent violations of the act, irrespective
Of the attorney general. 1t is drawn
to meet the wish Of the president, as
expressed in his last message to con-
gress, to reduce the debatable area
surrounding the Sherman act. Stanley
discussed the measure with the presi-
dent today and previously correspond
ded with him on the subject.
Representative Stanley, who was
chairman of the special committee
which investigated the United States,
Steel corporation, does not offer the
measure as an administration amend.
ment but believes it will be of service
to the committee of congress which
will draft the antitrust legislation af-
fairs when the presidents special
message is delivered next week.
The Stanley bill would amend the
second and fourth sections of the
Sherman law. In section two, in
which the supreme court injected the
"rule Of reason" the words " in any
degree" are inserted.
"The provision in section four OF
the present act, requiring that all &C.
tions be brought by the attorney gen.
eral," said Stanley, "has done more to
render the Sherman act ineffective
than almost any other thing. The act
at times has been a dead letter be.
Cause some attorney general happen.
I'd to regard it with Indifference or
hostility"
The amendment will be taken up
by the judiciary committee when 1t
begins work drafting the antitrust
bill after the president delivers bis
message. ....
