DIGESTER or ARK ANSAS
 STATUTE PIE PAID $4,O0O MT. Futrall, of Greene Introduces Bill to Pay $4,000 Instead of $3,000- Digest Will Also be One Vol
 ume On Better Paper.

The digester of the Arkansas sta tutes, to be appointed by the Supreme Court, in accordance with bill intro duced in the Senate by MT. Futrall of Greene, will be paid $4000 instead of $3000 stated in the bill. This change was reported to the Senate Wednes- day morning in an amendment pro- posed by the Judiciary Committee, which holds that a lawyer of ability cannot be secured to do the work for the amount first named. This will make the work cost the state $50O0, for one thousand is to be paid to the person reading proof on the digest. The digest will also be in one volume. It was proposed to make it in two, but prominent attorneys state the new digest will not be so large as the pres ent one because of so many general acts being repealed, and the use of better paper will make it so much smallr that it will be more convent ent to handle.

INSURANCE MEN ATTEND
 JUDICIARY MEETING
Senate Committee Hears Judge Doyle of Chicago, Representing Nation al Board of Fire Underwrit-
 ers-SpOke an Hour.

Little Rock, Jan. 20.-Insurance men from every section of Arkansas attended meeting of the Judiciary committee of the Senate Tuesday af- ternoon to hear the objections made by Judge Doyle of Chicago, representing the National Board of Fire Under writers to the repeal of the law per hitting the Arkansas Actuary Boarl to regulate insurance rates in Arkan- sas. Judge Doyle spoke for an hour, going into the work accomplished by the Actuary Board, and detailing the benefits which will result in the next few years if it is permitted to work out conclusively, the rates for the state. He declared that the rates were lowered this year, in spite of the fact that it was the first year of the existence of the Board.
 At the conclusion of Julge Doyle's speech, Judge J. l. Moore chairman of the committee, asked if anyone would have the nerve to follow Judge Doyle or try to answer him, and there was no one willing to make the attempt. The committee will make a recommen- dation upon this bill, by Senator Smith of Columbia, before the end of the week, for all bills must be re- ported back within ten days after they have been referred to a commit tee.

This week the PRESS is %reproduc-
ing George F. Skaters version of
the visit of the vigilantes to the west
ern Little Missouri river country in
this state during the fall of 1884.
Several of our readers will recall
the time and how a few pioneers of
those frontier days were supposed to
be shaking in their boots for fear
that the members of this unknown
band would call around to check up
some of their questionable acts and
possibly stretch a little hemp before
leaving the premises. The raid
caused a great deal of deep specula-
ton, and the opinions varied widely
as to it's real purpose. The acts Of
the vigilantes of 1884 in this country
is mostly unwritten history and even
Attorney Shafer knows only what
the old timers have related to him
about the raid. He is of the opinion
that the men who had taken the law
into their own hands were bent on
frightening the small ranchers so
that they would leave the country.
However, this does not seem feasible
because there were very few settlers
in the country then and there were
hundreds of thousands of acres of I'M
occupied prairie land in all direc-
tons. The big cattle outfits had not
been attracted to this locality in
any great numbers then. People
along the Northern Pacific supposed
that the vigilant committee planned
on a visit to the Medora country but
were in some way switched off and
sent in a northerly course as told by
the Schafer writer.

The report which has been so in
dustriously circulated about the state
of late that U. L. Burdick of Willis
ton was a candidate for United States
senator, seems to be erroneous. Fol-
lowing is MI. Burdick's signed an
nouncement published in the leading
papers of North Dakota this week:
"Recent newspaper articles have
created the impression in some
places that I am a candidate fol-
United States senator.
II wish to correct this report. ]
am a candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor. It may be
rather early to make announcements
but the state is large and a thorough
campaign requires time. l am en-
tering the campaign as a Republi-
can, basing my candidacy upon my
record in the legislature, and will
later publish the platform upon which
I seek the nomination. I will not
take part in any political conference
or combination, but will make an in
dependent campaign for the nomina-
ton.
IF elected. I shall then be free tc
put forth every effort in my power
for the best interests of the people
of North Dakota.

In certain quarters there has been
some capital made for local banks
by the statement that said banks
would not subscribe to the Anglo
French loan, preferring to use their
funds in helping to move the 1915
crop. This is all right as far as it
goes, but the whole truth is that nc
banking houses this side of St
Paul and Minneapolis, and possibly
Chicago, have any intention of sub
scribing to this half billion loan which
is to be used wholly on a credit basis
for buying supplies in this country
for the Allies. The money out this
way is all needed for carrying on
the business of the country.

BENz|ES DEATH

Word was received in Dickinson
early in the week concerning the
death of Dave Benzie in a hotel in
Minneapolis. From the newspaper
article it seems that Dave Benzie,
who left Dickinson about seven
years ago, had become a slave to
both drink and cocaine which led to
his death. The body was found in a
room, and it took some time to To-
cate relatives. A brother makes
headquarters in the Flour City, while
the fathers home is at Thief River
Falls.
Dave Benzie was a likable young
man and had it not been for his
drink habit would have succeeded in
business. He started the Benzie
Drug Co. in Dickinson under most
favorable circumstances. He finally
sold out to the present owner and
after a time went away, since which
time little had been known of him
until the sad news of his unfortunate
ending.

MASON LIKES DICKINSON

A. w. Mason, the cattle buyer who
has been associated with Tom Mouat
so long, has decided to make Dick
inson his permanent home. He is
well known throughout the western
part of the state, where he has been
dealing in stock since 1908. Origin
ally the family came from the James
River Valley.
Recently Mr.. Mason bought the
John Elmer farm a mile south of
the city, paying $6,700 for the place.
This farm has good buildings and
water and is an ideal place for hold
ing stock. However, Mr.. Mason does
not intend to move cut until after the
close of the present term of school
next spring. It is likely that John
Welter, the renter the past season,
will remain on the farm during the
winter. NJ
Mr.. Mason expected a carload of
young cattle from the east the last
of this week. His partner, Mr..
Mouat was taking a few loads
through to Montana the middle of the
week. 5

MAYOR WHITE CLOSES
A LARGE LAND DEL

Mayor ALT. White has sold his
home ranch west of New England.
consisting of a full section of land,
to Joseph Brown of Wells, Minnesota,
at $27 per acre, the deal being made
through the w. R. Everett Real Es-
tate Co. Of Dickinson. The place is
well improved, having a Groom house,
barn, sheds and wells.
Edward Brown, a son of the pur-
chaser, left with his wife this week
for the new place and it is under
stood that he plans on doing extern
sive farming another season.
Mayor White still has over a Sec
ton of unimproved land southwest of
this city that he expects to sell soon.
He went out this week to see about
shipping a part of his SO head of
cattle and will probably close out the
entire herd this fall, also 27 head of
horses and farm machinery. 1t is a
large deal and when cleaned up will
represent $4,000 to $4,000.

CRYNES REPLY
Gladstone, N. D., Sept. 18th, 1915

Gladstone, N. D., Sept. 18th, 1916.
Editor PRESS:
It seems that Mr.. J. L.. Shelp, for
merly Of Gladstone, later at Forsyth,
some while citizen Of Dickinson,
now Of Northport, Mich, editor and
proprietor of a weekly newspaper,
has jumped into the arena of discus
sions as to whether this country west
of the Missouri river in western
North Dakota is bankrupt or likely
to become so.
Now I cannot see why he became
red-headed over this matter, as he
is one of the bloated bond-holders that
have been getting their little ~ per
cent from the farmers of this region.
If this particular region is becom-
ing bankrupt, then if he has securi-
ties that he is expecting to realize
on I should believe that the logical
thing would be to keep the matter
under his hat until the collections
could be made and not scare the
chickens up out of the brush.
AS to his personal mention of my
self and my family, that carries no
weight, and does no n harm; but
will say that I have always worked
hard, have had to dig for a living
where the digging was hard, and ex-
pect to dig until I die.
However, 1 would have thought
that he would not have mentioned Mr..
Gregg, as that gentleman has not
got into print. The mention I made
of Mr.. Gregg's name was purely in
cidental to the story of my having
seen on an adjoining farm, four eight
foot binders hauled by a Big Four
tractor.
Now as to it's being a crime, or
any body's business if the latter
named gentleman has or has not paid
interest at any rate either 6 per cent,
7 per cent, 8 per cent, 10 per cent or
IL per cent I am sure it behooves us
all to not pose as a public censor or
critic even if we do own and run a
little dinky weekly newspaper in the
efete east.
AS to your humble servants status
in this country, shall say by way of
conclusion, that he has occupied some
quite important positions in the
| east, and he has never been sued nor
has he so far ever sued any one, nor
has he ever been discharged from
any position that he has ever held
for any reason whatever.
Very respectfully yours,
G. S. CRYNE.

THE RAINY SPELL

Our farmers who were not fortu-
nate enough to have their grain
threshed previous to September "a
and who did not stack their oats
and wheat, are set back fully ten days
by the six days of cloudy weather,
the first five of which were more or
less rainy. Nearly an inch of rain
fell for the six-day period ending
September 20. However, it was a
cool spell, mercury lowering between
IS and As degrees, and it is not
thought that the shocked grain, ever
though many bundles did tumble
down, sprouted any to speak of OF
took any injury other than the
slight discoloration of wheat kernels
in some instances.
The advantage of stacking grain is
more than rel apparent, but II
seems like a most difficult thing tc
get farmers to do this to any great
extent in this country. A few have
stacked and these farmers are now
the mes who are feeling good and are
starting their plows turning back the
stubble and getting their work out
of the way for the coming spring.
It needs many weeks Of clear, dry
weather in this country this season
to get the large grain crop threshed

Planting Sugar Cane.

Sugar cane is planted, not sown. A
small piece of the cane, long enough
to include two or three of the rings,
or nodes, is laid lengthwise, or stuck
in slanting direction, along a fur
row which runs the length of the
field. In some sections the primitive
fashion of planting in holes is still en-
ployed. When the trench is planted
the pieces of cane are lightly covered
with earth. In few weeks they show
growth above the ground, the germ
buds at the rings having begun to
shoot out in the form of young cane,
the ring having at the same time
thrown out rootlets into the soil. The
parallel trenches are made far enough
apart, say at least three feet, to en-
able the workers, when the wide
spreading canes are getting ripe, to
go between the rows and remove the
dying leaves which burden the ripen-
ing cane, thereby enabling the naked
cane to mature faster.

PLEA FOR THE CHILD.

From Address by FATHER PATRICK
MURPHY of Texas)
contend tonight that there are
helpless children whose little bodies
are crying out for nourishment-the
food they need-and yet the mother
cannot cook 1t for them because that
bunch got all the money first! The
little child is crying. I'll tell you, and
I am sure any doctors in the audi
ence will bear me out, when child
in the poorer homes is not properly
nourished, its pain is not in the stom-
ach alone; there is not a blood cell
in it's little body that is not suffering.
maintain that you men who are
going to vote wet, should think of
this: There is not blood cell in
the child's body that is not crying out
to your God against you.
In your city there are little wasted
hands raised up in pleading. You will
find them in the homes of your drunk
ards. You will see the faces of the
little ones, thin, emaciated and telling
pathetically of their hungry bodies.
These little children are praying that
you will decide great question re-
CARELESS of what you seem to lose
by 1t.

Teacher.

Paderewski arrived in a small west

While strolling along he heard piano
and. following the sound, came to a
house on which was a sign reading:

Pausing to listen, he heard the
young lady trying to play one of Cho-
pins nocturnes and not succeeding
very we'll.
Paderewski walked up to the house
and knocked. Miss Jones came to the
door and recognized him at once. De-
lighted, she invited him in and he sat
down and played the nocturne as only
Paderewsd can, afterward spending
an hour in correcting her mistakes.
Miss Jones thanked him and he de-
parted.
Some months afterward he returned
to the town and again took the same

NO MODEL LICENSE LAW.

NO MODEL LICENSE LAW.
Major Dan Morgan Smith was for
four years general counsel for the
liquor organization known as the
Model License league. The following
paragraphs from an address of his
shows why he threw up that position
and is now speaking and working for
prohibition.
For four years I advocated the pas
sage of a. model license law as a
means Of lessening the evils of drink.
AS the head of the law department of
one Of the three largest liquor asso-
Citations in America, maintained that
its passage would take the liquor
dealers out of politics and the law
breakers out Of the liquor business.
WAS wrong? shall never
know, for the liquor crowd were pay
ing me to talk reform and paying 9TH
ers to defeat reform!
1.-THE model license law was effec-
tive as a vote-getter, but it never
cleaned out one dive, never effected
one reform, for, although advocated in
every fight against prohibition in the
last six years, it has never been en-
acted in any place. It's advocacy has
fooled more decent people into voting
with the liquor crowd than all the spe-
cious nonsense about taxes and per-
sonal liberty put together. Can we
expect laws from the liquor camp
that will eliminate the dive, or lessen
drunkenness or stop the sale of liquor
to minors? Can we expect brewery
agents to pass laws that will take
away the license of brewery owned
saloons? Can we expect legislators,
nominated and elected by the brewery
interests, to pass laws that will take
the liquor business out of politics?
No, the only thing we can expect from
the liquor people is just what we have
received in the past-lying promises.
