Submitted, Started Re-
cent Proceedings
SUCH ACTION CERTAIN

Carl Jorgenson, state auditor, will
issue warrants to the retiring justices
OF the supreme court If Atty. Gen.
H. j. Linde advises him to do so.
The issue was laid before the attor-
ney general by the state auditor at
Bismarck today.
The fact that Mr.. Linde brought the
recent proceedings that were heard
before the provisional supreme court
of the state, when it was decided that
the retiring justices hold office till the
first of the year, indicates that he will
hold that such proceedings were legal
and binding, and that the retiring
justices are entitled to their warrants.
If he does so advise the state audi
tor, the warrants will be issued, and
it will then be up to John Steen, state
treasurer, to say whether or not he
will honor them.
Mr.. Steen is on his farm in Pierce
county, and doesn't return to the
state capitol until Friday.
The deputy state treasurer indicated
today that he wasn't certain what step
would be taken by that department.
In the meantime, if Auditor Jorgen-
son issues the warrants, and they are
cashed. both Jorgenson and Steen are
likely to face proceedings, instituted
in behalf of the incoming justices of
the supreme court who have denied
that the retiring justices have any
right to their posts at this time.

damages for the depreciation in the
value OF promises occasioned by the
construction of spur track of a rail

CD In North Dakota an abuttinG
lot owner owns the fee to one e-half of
the street. In North Dakota the con-
stitution does not merely provide that
property shall not be taken for pub
lie use without just compensation, but
that lit shall not be taken or damaged.
CD Where the fee in public
street is owned by the adjacent lot
owner, and the constitution provides
that no property shall be taken or
damaged for a public use without just
compensation, the spur track of a
railway company is a burden or servi-

the depreciation in the value of the

IL America doing anything to pre-

Russia is a near neighbor. The

narrow Behring strait from our own
territory Of Alaska.
But we are woefully ignorant about
Russians, and while German and
French are more or less familiar
tongues to us and are taught in our
schools, Russian Is disregarded and
rarely spoken.
There are probably a few schools in
this country where the Russian tongue
is taught, but we do not know where
they are.
Spanish is now being taught in
many schools. The University Of Iowa
has some 800 pupils learning that
language today where but Is studied
Spanish five years ago.
This is an encouraging sign.
But how about little Russian?

DECISIONS OF The
SUPREME COURT
From Dunn County.

miss1oners of Dunn county. defendants
and respondents.
Syllabus:
/. The words ANY action" which oc-
cur in section 1924, compiled laws of
1913, refer to the action of the county
commissioners in passing upon and de-
termining the questions presented by q
petition for the establishment of a
highway, and, If the petition is posted
twenty days before such action is taken
by the board, the proceedings will not
be nullifed merely because such petit
tion was not posted more than twenty
days before the notices for the meeting
were served and posted by the board.
2. An appeal lies in North Dakota
from the determination of board of
commi missioners both SIS to the route 10
be taken and the damages to be award
ed in the case Of the laying out Of a
highway under the provisions of sec
tions 1928 to 1899 of the compiled laws
of 1918. And If in such a case the land
OF the objector Is sufficiently described
and the order of the commissioners
covers the land of the objector and the
survey Is in conformity with the order,
and the objector has been properly
served, such objector cannot afterwards
collaterally attack the regularity OF
the proceedings or the hnal determlna-
tion of the board.
3. Where the county commissioners
seek to establish a highway and enter
an order specifying the route, sur
vey which is subsequently made cannot
vary or alter that route. and the order
and not the survey must govern.
4. Where the county commissioners
seek to establish a highway, the route
of such highway must be described in
terms which are intelligible to a rea-
sonably intelligent man, and where an
order fails in this particular. it will be
void and of no effect.

profitable to keep bird for egg pro-
duction after her second year unless
she is especially valuable for breeding
purposes.
; The pullets should be put in their
winter quarters at least month be-
fore they are expected to commence
laying. In order that they may be-
come accustomed to their new quar-
tiers. Only strong, vigorous birds
should be put in the laying pen. Keep
everything around the poultry house
sanitary. Before the pullets are put
in the laying pens the house should be
given a thorough cleaning. Spray the
interior of the house with good dis
infectant. Bear in mind the old say
ing can ounce of prevention is worth

of the poultry diseases are due to i'm

ings, returns them to the farm and
grinds them for stock feed. If the
screenings are not ground, they may
scatter foul seed about the place.
2 . The local elevator cleans the
wheat and ships the screenings in car
lots to the terminal market. In this
case the farmer is locked on the foul
matter in his grain and allowed moth

ager last year made $4,000 on his
screenings; another made $4,000. The
screenings were sold at fifteen dollars

back at the end of the year. If it is
line or independent elevator, the
farmer gets nothing back.
3. The farmer ships his own grain
to the terminal market, has it clean
ed there, and the screenings sold. In
this way he gets full price for his
screenings and escapes with little or
no dockage on his wheat.

THE SCREENING PROBLEM,

The dockage on wheat at the local
elevator now runs from 1 to 80 pounds
on the bushel. The chief ingredient
found in the screenings is wild oats.
There are also found in quantities in
creasing' from year to year, mustard,
kinghead and cookie. In ninety-five
cases out Of a hundred, the farmer
sells his wheat to the local elevator
where it is graded and locked and the
price determined. Five per cent Of
the farmers ship their own grain di-
rect to the terminal market.
There are now in North Dakota four
principal ways of meeting the dock
age and screenings problem.

fact that they are going to return to
the shippers of livestock all the profit
made by their organization, in other
words, they are going to give back to
the shippers all of the commissions
