Appears Bruegger
Talked Too Much

Devils Lake, Dec. 22.-It appears
that John Bruegger had no authority
from United States Treasurer John
Burke to announce at this time that
the watchdog Of the federal treasury
would be candidate for United States
senator.
Party leaders over the state are OF
the opinion, it is stated, that the an
nouncement was untimely and ill-ad-
vised.
Mr.. Bruegger says he prefaced his
remarks at the Grand Forks meeting
with the assurance that he had no
authority to speak for Mr.. Burke. A
little later he declared that Burke
would be the candidate. Coming from
one high in the councils Of the party
the statement was accepted by every
one present as true.
While no statement has come from
Washington so far as can be ascer
tanned, It appears that Mr.. Burke had
not intended to make public his In
tention until the June primaries were
near at hand.

it's meaning rises to a very high de-
gree of significance when dealing
with constitutional questions.
II am, therefore, of the opinion that
the appointment of the member Of
the legislature you mention is en-
tirely void and in contravention of
section 80 of the constitution of this
state"
Senator diversion, who has been in
the city for the past week, familiar
izing himself with the duties OF the
new Office for which he was appoint
ed, left the city yesterday and could
not be communicated with last night

general. ...

Will Take Up Farm
Labor Proposition

Secretary Otto, of the Valley City
Commercial club, has been advised by
J. P. Hardy of Fargo, president of the
North Dakota Federation of CONNER
cial clubs, of the appointment of a
committee to consider North Dakota's
farm labor problems and to work out
a plan for solving the same, as follows:
w. C. McFadden, Fargo, secretary of
the North Dakota Bankers associa-
ton, chairman; R. F. Flint, Bismarck,
state immigration commissioner; c.
w. Graves, secretary of the Grand
Forks Commercial club; J. Dexter
Pierce, secretary of the Larimore Com
mercial club, and George L. Price, Sec
rotary of the Bismarck Commercial
club.
1t is probable that Chairman Nc
Fadden will call meeting of his
committee in the near future, and
that the sessions will be held in Bis
marck, where two members of the
committee reside, and where many of
the records will be found in the state
capitol.
The difficulty in procuring proper
and seasonable distribution of farm
labor was one of the most important
problems discussed at the meeting of
the federated clubs held in Fargo last
week. The bankers association is
deeply interested in this matter as are
the commercial organizations of the
state and the immigration department.
With the many valuable points
brought out in the last discus
sions, the committee has something
tangible to work upon, and it is be-
lieved that it's report to the executive
committee will be of statewide inter-
est.

Kidder County Girl
Wins Essay Contest

Miss Alma Whitehead of futile Sc.
cured first place in the North Dakota
Appreciation Week Essay Contest.
Her essay entitled, Natural Oppor-
tunities," is published below:
in the spring of 1913, Mr.. Camp
bell and his family, consisting of his
wife and two children, came to this
grand and prosperous state of North
Dakota. They had always lived in
the city of Chicago, but were told
what a fine place North Dakota was,
so came to make home. Their
house contained two rooms and the
barn was smaller, but there was room
for two faithful horses, which helped
Mr.. Campbell and his son, Earl, to
put in the crop. Mrs. Campbell wish
ed to help win home so she started
raising chickens. They built small
chicken house and soon had several
hundred little chicks. Mrs. Campbell
was very proud Of them and spent
much of her time with them. Rose,
the daughter, having a good educa-
ton, wished to do something to help
her parents, so applied for position
as teacher in the home school. She
secured the position and enjoyed
modern schoolhouses.
Their grain and their chickens
brought them a small sum of money,
which they invested in some pigs.
Earl always took care of them and
hated to part with the ones they sold.
They were anxious to get large herd
Of cows and sheep so they bought a
few at time until they had 100 cows
and sheep. They sheared the sheep
and sold the wool. Soon with their
good crops and the help Of their good
chickens, pigs, cows and sheep, they
made enough to build one Of the best
houses and barns in North Dakota.
They have q farm to be proud Of.
Mr.. Campbell says: Il would not
live in any other state, for there are
80 many opportunities in North Dako-

One Violation viii
Not Justify Another

Bismarck, Dec. 22.-One violation
of the constitution does not furnish
justification for further violation Of
that instrument, according to an Opin
ion handed down yesterday by Attor
ney General Henry J. Linde, relative
to members of the legislature accept
ing civil appointments under the stats
administration.
Attorney General Linde was called
on for an opinion relative to the re-
cent appointment of Senator w. B.
diversion as a member of the board of
control, to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of J. w. Jackson. The
attorney general holds that the ap.
pointment is unconstitutional, and
that Senator diversion cannot qualify
for the office.
The question was raised by w. G.
Gilbreath of this city, in letter to
the attorney general. In answer to
the question the attorney general
says:
Il have carefully examined the Ian
guage used in section 80 of the con.
stitution, as we'll as the debates of
the constitutional convention of this
state, as recorded on page SIS of tho
Debates of the Constitutional Conven.
ton, and l have also examined some
of the authorities constituting similar
provisions Of the constitutions Of otl-
er states.
Section 80 of the Constitution of
North Dakota provides: a..
"'No member of the legislative as
sembly SHALL during the term for
which he was elected be appointed
or elected to any civil Office in the
state, which shall have been created
or the emoluments of which shall
have been increased, during the term
for which he was elected; nor shall
any member receive any civil appoint
ment from the governor, or the gov
ernor and senate, during the term for
which he shall have been elected
In constituting similar provision
Of the constitution, the supreme court
of Minnesota, in the case Of Barnum
VS.. Gilman, ~ MINI. 466, reasons
that when the constitution is clearly
contravened it is the imperative duty
to so hold, and while there may have
been others holding Offices under sim
liar circumstances, one or more viola
lions Of a constitutional provision
would furnish no justification for any
further violation Of that instrument.
1T seems to me that the language
used in section 80 of the constitution
is susceptible Of but one construction.
The constitution is the fundamental
law of the state and under the famil-
lar rule Of construction its provisions

Germany Protests
Turkish Brutality

Boston, Dec. 22.-The German gov.
eminent on Aug. 8 filed at Constan-
tinople protest against the Turkish
treatment of Armenians, according to
DR.. James L. Barton, chairman of the
national committee for Armenian and
Serbian relief who today made public
the text of the protest.
In statement quoting the official
statement transmitted by the German
embassy, DR.. Barton says that Count
Ernest Won Reventlow, a German naval
expert, in recent statement publish
ed in the Cages Zeitung, strongly de-
tends Turkeys massacre of the Ar
menians on the basis Of military ne
cessity and adds:
zone wonders whether Won Revent-
low knows that throughout the length
and breadth of the Turkish empire aft
er the men (who only were capable Of
revolution but who, according to every
known evidence, did not revolt) had
nearly all been disposed of, the at
tack fell upon widows and orphans
who were driven from their homes by
hundreds of thousands at the point of
bayonets. a
1T is possible that Won Reventlow
knows that fully one-half of these
refugees miserably persisted from vio-
lence?

HOW | RAISED THE
WORLDS CHAMPION
SHIP ACRE OF CORN

BY Walker Lee Dunson, of Alabama,
champion boy corn grower of the
world.
In preparing my land for corn l first
cut the stalks with a stalk cutter and
turned the land from ten to IL inches
deep on the first of March with two
horse pillow. l then double-cut the land
with disk harrow, and on the sew
enth of April laid off the rows three
feet apart, bedded the land with one
horse turner and planted the corn in
the water furrow, using 200 pounds Of
1914 guano.
The corn came up in perfect stand.
For the first blowing I used cult
vaton just deep enough to loosen the
soil. The second blowing was made
with a single stock, with scooter and
scrape. l then used 400 pounds Of
10-4 guano.
For it's third cultivation l used har-
row, after having applied 600 pounds of
1914 guano. l then thinned out the
corn to stand of about eight inches
in the drill. At the fourth cultivation
again used a. harrow, and applied 500
pounds of 1914 guano, also giving it a
good hoeing.
For the fifth cultivation I used a
harrow, and applied 200 pounds of 1914
guano as a top-dressing. The harrow
was used for the sixth cultivation, and
100 pounds of nitrate of soda was ap-
piled. For the seventh cultivation,
I used a shovel cultivator, going over
the ground very lightly. Here is the
cost Of this acre of corn divided among

good Roadway since the last report,
with the exception of the replanting,
which, on account of the dry weather
and cool nights, has not come to a
stand. The fields are unusually clean
and we'll cultivated. Considerable
complaint has been made of the lice.
A general rain over the county would
be beneficial to the crop. Most OF
the work has been made with cultl-
vators and as a result the ground is
in a splendid condition. The plant
from the early planting is of normal
size and healthy in appearance. The
crop as a whole will average with the
crop of last year at this date.
