TWO MOTHERS APPLY
FOR STATE PENSIONS
Make Application Before Judge John
son at Mandan-Both Cases are
Worthy.

Mandan. N. D., Nov. 1.-Two Nor
ton county mothers have made appli-
cation for mothers pensions. Mrs.
King Of Fort Rice and Mrs TheCkla
GresZ of Judson, are the ladies.
Both ladies filed their applications
with County Judge Johnson with the
required petitions which according to
a new law passed in 1915 gives them
the right to county pension known as
"mother's penSiOn.' and from present
appearances it seems as if both ladies
will have their wants fulfilled.
Mrs. King has been in very bad
circumstances for several years. She
has a family OF six children all Of
whom are under IA years. She is max
ing application for the full amount
for each child as the law permits her
to have $l5 per month. which in all
will give her a monthly income of $50
per month
Mrs. Gresz also has a large family
and claims to be dependent on the
county.
In view of tho fact that the two
ladies' are the first to receive mother s
pensions in this county. considerable
comment has been heard on the mat
ter, most of which is favorable

OFFICERS ON

Prospects of Winter Stay On
Mexican Border Not
Alluring-Alone

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. "A "squaw
camp" is rapidly becoming the out
standing feature Of Mercedes, where
the First North Dakota infantry mas
been stationed since last July. A
"squaw camp it should be explained
is the technical Kiplingesque name for
the quarters set aside adjacent to a
regular military encampment for the
accommodation of the soldiers wives
Adjutant General Tharaldson an
nounCed this week that Colonel J. II.
Frame has been Joined by Mrs
Frame; Mrs. B. G. Boyd of H1llsboro
has gone to the front to join Captain
Boyd, and the wives of other othcers
from Grafton and the eastern part OF
the state are planning an early de-
parture for Mercedes.
While no one can state definitely
how long the boys will remain at the
front. the fact that so many officers
are sending for their better halves,
and the further circumstance that
everyone in the First is being meas
ured for overCoats, is considered eVl-
dence that a long stay Is In prospect.
On the other hand, some Of the men
in their letters home suggest that the
overcoats are to be furnished for their
protection when they enter northerly
climes en- route to North Dakota, and
that an early return is presaged by
the issuing of this heavy garment.
Among other officers whose wives
are now with them at Mercedes are
Adjutant T. S. Henry Of Valley City;
Major Alex Fraser of Fargo; Captain
Ritchey of Valley City; Major Pat
terson Of Lisbon, and Captain
Mclean Of Kenmare. The ladies are
thoroughly enjoying the novel cXper-
ience, and have even become recon-
ciled to having their location dubbed

NEW AUTO TAGS
State Auditors Office Now GETTING
Ready for January Rush,

Bismarck, N. D., Nov 4.-The secre
tary of states office is making full
preparations for it's January tag sale
at the old price of 50, in spite of the
probability of the automobile license
law being radically changed by the
next legislature. Ordinarily. there is
no great rush for tags until spring. In
the ordinary course of events the new
license law would be signed by the
governor March I. At that time last
year only $3.50 tags out of total Of
41,OO0 had been issued. If it should
prove necessary to readjust the license
fee on this small number Of tags. the
task would not be a difficult one.
The prevailing fashion for 1917 auto
mobile tags in North Dakota will be
black and white. The background of
the new tags will be q glossy black.

number of the license countersunk in

year will be different, the tags will
very closely resemble those Of the
present season, which are black and

HEMP A SUCCESS
Thirty Acre Plot near Grand Fork,
Turns Out WelI,

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 4.-Thirty
acres of hemp was raised at the In
ternational Harvester company's ex-
perimental farm this last year, ac-
cording to a statement given out by
G. II. McManus, manager of the local
branch. This is the first hemp to be
raised in this state and successfully
harvested.
The hemp is now going through a
process called "retting," and just as
soon as it is completed the raw mate
rial will be prepared for shipment and
Will be sent to the company's factory
to be made into twine.
Hemp is still an experiment in
North Dakota and experts have been
reluctant to advise it's cultivation.
However. the ti1 results accomplish
ed at the International Harvester
companys farm has led many to think
that there is a large field for such
work. and the more extensive farm
ing Of hemp in North Dakota will
bring in a larger income to the farm
ers of the state if they will but study
the plant and develop its cultivation.

ON STATE ROADS
FOR A YEAR
Report of State Railroad
Commission Shows No
Passengers Killed

Bismarck. N. D.. Nov. Mot

thousands of miles of North Dakota
railways during the biennial period

death record, with total Of eighteen.
Nine were killed on the Northern Pa
cific; five on the 500 line; three on
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
and one by the Farmers Grain and
Shipping Co.
For the two years, $50 casualties
are reported. OF these, ia are report
ed as occurring to passengers; 634 to
| employees; 28 to trespassers and thirty
to non-trespassers. The Great North
ern reported 39S accidents the North
ern Pacific ZIG. the 500 line 161. and
the Milwaukee 81.
6.2oo.13 Miles Of Railway.
The commission reports that s.
200.13 miles of railway were operated
in North Dakota on August 81. 1915.
The states longest railway is the
Great Northern. with 2.27o.s5 miles Of
main lines, secondary line branch
lines. side tracks and second tracks.

Co.. 5191; the Chicago & Northwest .
ern. 1913, and the Fairmount & Web
len Railway Co. 14.15 miles.
Adjustment of Claims.
With reference to the handling Of
claims. the commission calls the at
tention of shippers to the fact that
the courts of North Dakota and the
United States have held that shippers
must present their claims within four
months from the time Of delivery of
the shipment under the old form of
bill Of lading, and within six months
from the time of delivery under the
new form Of bilk or claims are barred
by law because Of these clauses in the
bills of lading.
Recommend ations.
The commission recommends to the
next legislature that the constitution
be amended to permit the establish
| ing of siX-years term for commits
sioners, this being the rule in other
states where commissioners are elect
| ed, and that terms of different dura-
| tlon be fixed, in order that but one
commissioner be elected each two
years.
