junction restraining the recently elect
ed school officers in New England
township and in Kunze township from
doing any business pertaining to their
pretended offices in the pretented
school districts until further orders
from the court. In the same injunc-
ton the county superintendent of
schools is restrained from apportion-

county tuition funds and the county
treasurer is restrained from issuing
any money to the treasurers of the pre-

cited to appear before Judge Craw-
ford at the chambers in Dickinson.

From reports at hand it does not
appear that many people have taken
advantage of the filings offered on the
Standing Rock Reservation. 1t was
pointed out in these columns some
weeks ago that the Indian lands had
already been picked over to a greater
or less extent and that land seekers
would generally be disappointed, es-
pecially when they found that the
homesteader would be required to
pay SIS per acre in addition to the
customary filing fees. When it
comes to paying IS per acre for the
privilege Of homesteading in addition
to residence, etc., the parties who
want land will do better, as a rule, to
60 out and buy a good farm and he
done with it.

THE CITY LAWNS

All agree that fences around town
lots r unsightly. In past years
they have been a necessary evil and it
is a question whether even now the
time has come for their removal.
Those who now thoughtlessly, to save
a few steps, cross a boulevard where
the owner Of adjacent property is try
ing to secure a growth of grass,
rather than keep on the sidewalk, will
cut lawn corners if the fences are
down. In. either case an unsightly
path is the result and the beauty of
the whole is destroyed and a lot Of
work goes for nothing. If lawless
children will go inside a fence in their
rough games, or to gather fruit and
flowers which n not theirs, how
much more will this be the ease with
open lawns and a better opportunity
Of a safe getaway? The attention of
the PRESS. has been called to these
matters and it would seem that a
campaign Of education along these
lines should be waged at, once and
severe punishment meted out to any
trespasserl upon the property Of an
other. Last year much valuable
shrubbery was ruined by thieves who
could not stop to pick blossoms care
fully. Are our. boys running rough
shod through other peoples gardens
and flower beds, and breaking trees
and shrubbery? Our girls gather
ing other peoples flowers? Are we
ourselves making the short cuts that
destroy the beauty Of lawns and boule-
wards? Several cities are looking in

GREEK PARLIAMENT
IS NOW DISSOLVED
KING CONSTANTINE THROWS
s DOWN THE GAUNTLET TO THE
PRO-WAR ELEMENT
VenizeIOs Party Closely Watched Since
Revolution Likely to Result
Against King

LONDON, Nov. 12-King Constantine
has dissolved the Greecian parliament
thereby finally throwing down the
gauntlet to the war party. His action
evidently followed Venizelos refusal
to tolerate the Skouloudis ministry
with a "Benevolently neutral" leader
and Zaimis members
In dissolving parliament the king
did deliberately what Venizelos de-
clared he had no power to do mas
much as, Venezelos claimed, the ques-
tion of what stand the nation should
take toward the war was settled six
months ago when the country return
ed him as premier on a pro-war basis.
The king has selected December 19
as the date for the elections, a time
earlier than was expected. Venizelos'
course is being watched anxiously for
it is felt by London diplomats that if
he rouses the people against the king
a revolution is probable.

The court upsets some important
rules laid down by the company and
holds them liable because of the dele
cation of power vested by the compa-
ny in local agents. Oral agreement of
an agent to assign policy is as good

valid SO long as the premium on the
policy is not involved.
The decision is an important one
and establishes the responsibility of
