WATCH YOUR COWS
Cattle Running at Large Pro-
hiblted by State Law.

When we demonstrated with a
neighbor few days ago against
his cows using our front yard for
a spot in which to feed, gambol
and otherwise disport themselves.
he politely told us TO fix vour
fence and then my cows will not
come in" He also told us he had
permission from one of the citv
officials to let his cows run. For
his particular benefit and for the
benefit of all the cattle, horse and
hog owners of the city we print
the following:
Section 459 of the Laws of Min
nesota, for the year 1913, makes it
unlawful for any owner or any
person having control of any
animal of the species of cattle,
horses, ass, mule, sheep, swine or
goat to run at large in the State of
Minnesota, and any action taken
by town boards in conf1iction with
this act is invalid.
This is the law of the state, and
any person who is guilty of viola
ton of this Act may be punished
by a fine of not more than 500, or
three months Imprisonment in the
county Jail. In addition thereto
he is liable to any person aggrieved,
for treble damages, to be recovered
in civil action at law.

Again on the Road

We noticed the return last week
of Edward E. Fitch to his duties
as conductor on the Duluth & Iron
Range after an absence of a few
weeks on account of illness. The
many friends of Mr.. Fitch along
the line were pleased to again greet
him.
It will also be pleasing to his
many friends to know that Mr..
Fitch has just completed his
twenty-ffth year with the D. &. 1.
R. company and during that con-
tinuous service has no blemish on
his record with the company.
Another one of the popular con-
ductors, who began work at the
same time as did Mr.. Fitch is
George H. McGreevy who runs at
present on the branch line between
Allen Junction and Eveleth. Both
celebrated their silver anniversary
last week and both enjoy the
greatest of popularity among the
travelling public.
A quarter of century of steady
service with one concern without
loss of time and not an accident is
somewhat of record of which both
Mr.. Fitch and Mr.. McGreevy can

The advertising manager of one
of the biggest mail order houses in
the country, in talk before men,
bers of an advertising club recently
gave some interesting information
on how they secured much of their
business. He said:
I'VE have a bureau whose duty
it is to read each week the country
newspapers from all over the
country. There is not paper OF
any consequence in oar trade terri
tory that our bureau does not get.
This bureau looks over these papers
and when we find a town where
the merchants are not advertising
in the local paper, we Immediately
flood that territory with oul
literature. It always brings re-
suits far in excess of the same
effort put forth in territory where
local merchants use their local
paper"
Your local merchants can kill
much of the business of these for
eign competitors by advertising
regularly in your paper"

To Plant Seedlings

District Ranger Heritage of the
Superior National Forest has left
Ely with camp outfit and crew of
fifteen men for the Baird Ranger
Station. 1t is planned to plant ap-
proximately ffty-fve acres OF
denuded Government land with
pine seedlings grown in the nur-
sery at that point. The planting
area is located one and one half
miles from the nursery and is con-
sidered as being fair chance. The
actual time spent in putting in the
forty thousand seedlings will be
about six days. Last year seventy
acres were planted at the south end
of Birch Lake and the results OBJ
tanned there were excellent.
Upon the completion of this
work the crew will be used in re.
constructing the Stony telephone
line from Birch Lake Dam to Camp
six of the St. Croix Lumber com
pany. 1t is estimated that this jot
will take about thirty days.

Granted a Divorce

A decree of divorce was entered
by Judge Hughes in District Court
at Virginia this week in the case of
Robert H. Hawkey VS.. Ida J.
Hawkey which was tried at the
January term of court in this city.
The plaintiff and defendant had
been married for more than 26
years and have two sous, Robert,
1S, and Harold FL. The defendant
is given the custody of the minor
son. Robert, is given lots 8 and 9
in block % of Paramount park
addition to the city of Minneapolis
and $3,O75 in cash as permanent
alimony and must give up all other
claims to the estate of plaintiff.
The plaintiff charged that he had
been treated in cruel and inhuman
manner by his wife and that she
had used abusive and obscene
language to him. He charges that
the defendant has violent temper
and that she would, while angry,
cut up and burn clothing and other
valuable articles and that she had
ordered him from their home and
refused to live with him.

the eleven successful candidates.
Miss Mattson, when the contest
originated. was prevailed upon to
send her photograph with the re-
suit that when the eight thousand
likenesses were gone over she was
selected as one of the most likely
film subjects by Lillian Russell.
The Contest called for an equal
amount of brains and beauty. 1t
was essential for the candidate to
write letter in her own handwrit-
ing, stating her reasons for desir-
J ing to become a film actress. The
applicants were then grouped as to
the section of the country in which
they lived and two candidates from
five different sections will be finally
chosen. Lillian Russell, Sophie
Irene Loeb, noted New York
society writer, and William A.
Brady, the famous theatrical
manager are the judges. There
will be ten winning candidates
from the United States and one
from Canada. The eleven success
full young ladies will be taken to
New York, a month will be devoted
to teaching them the value of
various dramatic angles. and then
those who show proper interest and
sufficient ability, will become per-
manent members of the World and
Equitable stock companies, and at
goodly salaries appear in films.
Lectures, theatre parties, studio
lessons and a number of events are
carded for the successful candidates
and it is very likely that Miss
Mattson will be one of the success
full entrants.
The winning candidates will be
announced throughout the country
early in Tune,

OFFICERS SECURE
No Election for County Officers
This Year.

On petition of man in Wright
County who sought to compel the
county auditor of his county to
place his name on the ballot for a
county Office claiming the law
creating four year terms was un-
constitutional, the case was argued
in supreme court Wednesday and
the decision upheld the four year
term clause as enacted by the last
legislature.
Commissioner Dibell who wrote
the opinion said among other
things.
The question before us is
upon the constitutionality of the
statute. No question is involved
of extending the term of an incum-
bent or of depriving an Office of its
elective character. The office is
elective and no one holds a four
year term unless elected for that
period. The only question is
whether the legislature has consti-
tutional power to make the terms
of Office of the county officers
named in the statute four years.
It is hardly necessary to remark
that if the legislature has authority
to prescribe four-year terms the
statute is not invalid because of the
hold-over provision though it be
ineffective.
None of these county officers
mentioned in the statute are
mentioned in the constitution.
Section of Article II of the Con-
stitution is as follows: Provision
shall be made by law for the cleo
ton of county or township officers
as may be necessary The effect
of this provision is to make county
officers elective. 1t does not deter
mine what county officers shall be
created, nor does it prescribe terms
of office, nor does it forbid the
fixing of terms by the legislature.
Unless these is somewhere in the
Constitution provision fixing the
terms of county officers, there re-
sides in the legislature constitutional
power to prescribe four-year terms;
and that there is such provision is
the precise contention of the
petitioner. He refers to the
amendment of 1888, Constitution.
Section 9, Article 7, establishing
an official year and providing for a
biennial election, which, so far as
here material, is as follows: The

first general election for state and
county officers, except judicial Of
6cers, after the adoption of this
amendment, shall be held in the
year 1884, and thereafter the
general election shall be held
biennially.'
"The argument is that the pro-
vision fixing the biennial election
for even numbered years by impli-
cation fixes the terms of officers
whose terms are not fixed by the
Constitution at two years. In
speaking of it in State VS.. Frizzell,
81 Mimi, 400, Justice Mitchell
says: 1t is not dealing with terms
of ofice-that matter has been dis
posed of. The reference is to
amendments to articles and 6,
adopted at the same time fixing the
terms of county officers. The
argument of the petitioner is in
genious, and is forcibly presented.
but it is unsound. A natural con-
struction does not bring the result
claimed. The construction sought
is clearly wrong. The Constitution
does not expressly nor by implica-
ton fix the terms of county officers
enumerated in the statute. Whether
such terms shall be two years or
four years is a question of policy
discriminate by the legislature.
The act of 1913 is constitutional.
the county officers named in it who
were elected in 1914 were elected
for four years and there will be no
election of their successors in
1916"
