VETS ENTER COURT SUITS
TOFORCE VOTE ON 'DRY'LAW
MANDAMUS WRIT ASKED AGAINST
SECRETARY OF STATE RAMER.
Question Is Raised As TO Clutch Clause"
Being Essential to public Peace,
Health and Safety" of People.

Mandamus proceedings ave been
started in the district court against See
retary of State Ramer by John w. Hell
big for the "Home Rule" interests, in
which he seeks to compel Ramer to
submit to a vote of the people the ref
erendum bill passed by the last legisa-
ture known as senate bill No. so, and
entitled Intoxicating Liquors."
The prayer of the petition asks that
the secretary of state be required to
cancel his entry of rejection of petit
tion filed by the home rule advocates
and that he place the question on the
ballots at the election Nov. Z, 1916
The action is brought by the people
on the relation of John Kiefer, X =.
Williams, Burt Davis, H. J. BenkeIman
and Joseph ]. Schwartz. 1t sets forth
that after the bill was passed and prior
to its going into effect that 452 petitions
were filed with the secretary OF state,
and that these petitions contained to
tai OF 2O,235 names of qualified electors
and all properly certified.
1t is alleged that the secretary held
the petition illegal and rejected the same
on the ground that it contained the
clutch clause which declared it a
measure necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace. health
and safety" They assert that this was
untrue, and that the clause is therefore
illegal and the law unconstitutional.
This same clause of the bill creating
the new civil service commission was be-
fore Judge Charles c. Butler OF the third
division of the district court recently
and Judge Butler held that the stand OF
the secretary of state was correct.
Mr.. Helbig claims that the same point
- not at issue, and that. if it is, the
court erred anyway. Should the court
render a like decision in this case il will
be reviewed by the supreme court.
Judge Sheafor of Colorado Springs
who is sitting for Judge Allen Of the
first division of the district court, set
the hearing for Wednesday, Sept. 1913

We challenge our contemporary to con-

What is the evidence that "the I'm

TEST OUT PROFITABLE COWS
Important That Farmer Should Know
Quantity and Quality He Is Re-
ceiving From Animals.

By w. A. MKERROW, Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station)
Feed is going to be higher than
usual this season unless all signs fail
It is. therefore, doubly important that
the farmer keeping dairy cows should
be sure that his cows are giving him
more than value received for what
they eat. The way to be sure OF this
IS to have scales and a Babcock tester
This is only one of the reasons why
farmers should test their COWS TOT
quantity and quality of product.
Other reasons for cow-testing are:
It enables the farmer to eliminate
cows that do not pay for their board.
It saves many q good COW from the
shambles.
It is an encourager of good feeding
and good care.
It gives the farmer an opportunity
to build up a good producing herd.
It increases ones interest in dairy
ing as a business rather than as
means of labor merely.
In short, it is plain common sense.

Bull Pen and Yard.

forming material such as alfalfa, oats
and wheat bran, will be more vigorous
and give better service than bull
permitted to run with the COWS. 1t is
very essential that the bull should
have plenty of exercise, which he can
not get if confined to stall. Where
it is impossible for the owner to fence
securely about one acre for the bull,
he can very easily provide the neces-
sary exercise by stretching a strong
wire between two substantial posts
and fastening the bull by chain from
the ring in his nose to a ring which
slips loosely over the wire. This
makes a secure fastening and one
which experience has proved practi-
cable.
When kept in. this way the bull is
also more easily managed. A dairy
bull makes dangerous pet, and
should never be SO far trusted as to
be in. position where he can get the
advantage of his attendant. Those un-
fortunate accidents which have some
times occurred have usually been due
to overconfidence on the part OF the
attendant
The bull should always be handled
kindly and firmly, and should under
stand that his attendant is his master.
It is always advisable to train the bull
calf to lead, and a ring should be
placed in his nose at an early date.
