JUDGE FoRD's DECISION.

Ignorance of the law excuseth no
one. all men are presumed to know
the law; that is, all except lawyers
and judges who rely upon the books
and their wits. Ordinarily such pre-
sumption would entitle a layman to
criticise a judicial opinion, but pre-
sumptions may always be rebutted;
take. for instance, the law OF con-
tempt. Laymen are presumed TO
know that law, too. Furthermore,
since a judicial opinion is law, or a
certain species of law, until some
other judicial tribunal has passed up
on 1t and reversed it. to comment upon
one is well-nigh akin TO at least the
common law brand of treason. We
think, therefore. that we shall leave

licenses 10 stand.
But this does not mitigate the fact
that Edward Keller, whose saloon
license has been rescued. has been
violating the Law. and. since the board

been granted a monopoly Of the

them by the Proctor law. we would

LANGDON LAWYERS FORM
NEW LEGAL PARTNERSHIP
Attorneys George N. Price and {. f. Fletcher
Will Unite Their Practice Dec. lst

A change in the legal profession
locally to occur during the week is
the formation Of a partnership be-
tween Attorney Geo. M. Price and
Attorney Ernest E. Fletcher, the
latter for the past two years being
the junior partner of the firm of Nc
Intyre & Fletcher. Attorney Nc
Intyre is closing up his Langdon
practice this week and will about
December 1st become a member of
one of the leading firms of law practi-
TONERS in Grand Forks. The new
Langdon legal firm of Attorneys Price
& Fletcher does not in its announce
ment require any introduction of
either of the parties to our people
and the change is considered on all
sides as one that will unite and mean
an increasing future practice to both
gentlemen, who have professional
standing of prominence not alone in
Cavalier county, but over the north
ern part of the state.

RAISED A TON AND A HALF PORK

]. w. Haw was out east last
Thursday to the Ed. Clairmont farm
in north Olga, where he weighed up a
litter of six month old pigs which Mr..
Clairmont's son is entering in the
state pork contest which will be a
feature at the tri-state grain growers
convention to be held at Fargo about
the first of the year. The litter con-
sists of twelve six month old pigs the
gross weight of which Mr.. Haw re-
ports as being over ton and half,
or to be more exact 3O8O pounds, the
pigs averaging 257 pounds each. A
ton and half of pork raised in six
months is an evidence that there are
some ways in making the grain and
fodder crops pay better returns than
selling them. Making pork by
product, for instance.

statement of the Dresden bank will

that comparison with the last state

is an increase in the volume of busi-

wards of $50, 600, while the item of
deposits, $119, 61O.77, has increased
$36, 294. 35 during the same period.
In addition to showing the ability of
Mr.. Terhaar's management of the
bank the statement is also a positive
indication of the large amount of
business which is being transacted in
the town of Dresden this fall.
