COL0RS PLACED
ON TOP OF COURT HOUSE
Junior Glass at High Succeeds in Co
ing the Seniors One
Better.

The junior class of South Bend
high school for half day Wednesday
felt far ahead OF the seniors as they
had succeeded III placing their class
banner in q far better place than
ever attempted by any class before.
The large orange banner hanging
from the flag pole Of the court house
Wednesday morning with the nuIler-
zeal inscription 1917 upon it, was the
much coveted banner of the juniors
which is much sought for by the
fourth year men.
For years the rivalry OF placing the
flag in a position not easy TO be haul
ed down by opposing classmen, has
existed one evening last week the
seniors placed their colors on the
high school flag pole, and upon going
to school the next morning they dis
covered the flag had been pulled
down during the night. The suspicion
of course rested upon the third year
men and their actions of Wednesday
proved this beyond doubt
This of course in exceeded to the
juniors as a decided defeat of the
senior class.

Body of Trained Men Now
Hampered by Legal Limi-
tatiOnS President
to Lend Hand.

WASHINGTON, Nov, 1.-THE le-
Ultimate legal business Of the United
Safes is practically paralyZed because
Of the widespread plots to violate the
neutrality Of the nation, both in con-
nection with the European war and
the Mexican situation. This was ad-
mitted at the department Of justice to-
day where it was said that the federal
bureau OF investigation is so far be-
hind in its work that certain cases in
which the government is interested
and which 1t had hoped TO dispose of
before the end Of the year, cannot be
taken up for an indefinite period.
The investigators OF the department.
with their number very largely in
creased are so busy with bomb con-
spiracies; fraudulent passport cases;
Mexican border plots and cases allied
with them that they cannot at present
undertake any additional labor. In
consequence many white slave COM
plants and certain bank sases are held
up. To relieve the situation. the at
torney general will ask congress for
legislation greatly increasing his bu-
reau and appointing much more money
for its support.
Draft Amendments.
Meanwhile Me attorney general has
completed the draft of the amend
ments to the Sherman antitrust law
which will give the government COM
plete jurisdiction over conspiracies to
cripple industries by strikes and in
other ways; attempts to blow up mu-
milton carrying ships or efforts to in
any way interfere with interstate and
foreign commerce. And at the behest
Of the navy department other laws will
be enacted which will make it possible
for the United States to prevent any
espionage at the navy yards or at
tempts to secure possession of naval
secrets.
1t is expected that Pres't Wilson will
personally enlist the congressional
leaders in behalf of such legislation
and that it will be put through very
early in the session in order that pros
ecutions can be begun without delay.
Congress will also be asked to re-
store to the secret service the broad
powers which were taken away from
it during the Roosevelt administration
when it was found that the president
was utilizing its operatives to keep
track of the movements of the SEN
ators and representatives unfriendly to
his administration. At present the Sc
cret service. admittedly the best body
Of trained Investigators in the coun-
try, is greatly hampered in its work
by the legal limitations.

VALUATIONS ARE RAISED ON
FARM AND CITY PROPERTY
A Thirty-Eight Per Cent on Farm
Land and Fifteen Per Cent In
crease on City Property

The state board of equalization,
which is still in session at Bismarck,
has during the past week announced a
raise in the assessed valuation of all
town property and structures over the
state. The minimum is shown as
being an increase of ten per cent and
the raise in some instances reaches
twenty per cent. In Cavalier county
the town and city property, together
with the structures thereon. were
given an upward boost of fifteen per
cent. What the board will decide as
being the proper thing to do with the
valuation placed upon farm lands in
this county has as yet not developed.
Yesterday County Auditor Eide was
notified by State Auditor Jorgenson
that the board of equalization had
raised the assessed valuation of farm
lands in Cavalier county thirty light
per cent over the valuation that had
been previously made by the board of
equalization in this county last July.
Other counties along the border of the
Red River Valley got the same in
crease, in some cases the figures
reaching 45 per cent. The raise of
35 per cent on real estate and Is per
cent on city property and structures is
boost altogether in the wrong direc-
tion according to the idea of the Cava-
lier county tax payer.

PATTERSON DIES
IN LANGDON HOSPITAL
Unexpected Death Monday Evening
of Well Known Early Pioneer
Resident of Comfy

Robert Patterson, among the first
of the early pioneers of Cavalier
county to locate on homestead along
the boundary line at Elkwood upwards
of thirty years ago, died with an un-
looked for suddenness between seven
and eight o'clock on Monday evening
at the Langdon hospital The illness
of the deceased apparently dates back
to Friday or Saturday of last week,
up to which time he was in usual
health and taking care of harvesting
the crop on his farm. Saturday fore
noon, Herbert Patterson, his nephew,
whose home is on land adjoining,
visited him and noting his uncle s
apparent illness finally persuaded him
to accompany him to Langdon and see
a doctor. At the advise of the doctor
Patterson remained in town, it
being found he had suffered hemor-
rhage of the bowels, the trouble being
a repetition of an attack which for q
time endangered his life about yeal
ago. On Sunday the patient was
visited at the hospital by his brother,
David Patterson, when the hope was
Expressed that he would be out home
again in few days, though he com
planned of feeling extremely weak
Early Monday evening phone from
the hospital brought Dave Patterson
again to the bed side of his brothe
who had taken change for the wors,
and lapsed into unconsciousness from
which he never rallied and had passe

The home of Frank Timian about
four miles north of Dresden was
damaged to quite an extent by fire
which is reported to have occurred
during the afternoon of Thursday last
week. The cause is stated to be due
to children playing with matches in
the rooms upstairs. There was no in
jury to persons or lives endangered,
but the contents of the rooms were a
total loss and considerable carpenter
work will be necessary to put the
upstair rooms of the house in shape
again. Mr.. Timian is understood as
having insurance which practically

Prof. J. W. Haw, field agent of
the better farming association in this
county, with headquarters in Langdon,
in reviewing the results Of the years
work which are now beginning to sort
themselves out into an array of facts
and figures, finds that when due con-
sideration is given to the abnormal
weather conditions at every stage of
the past season there has been more
accomplished than one realizes at the
first glance The one great disap-
pointment to be faced by the farmer
who is taking up the advanced ideas
of his work is the black eye given to
the county's corn crop which has more
than doubled its acreage of last year,
when such fiattering results were
obtained. This years corn crop is
sacrifice, the cool season made the
growth at the start-off slow The
frost in the middle of June conse-
quently found corn of all varieties in
