Every bureau has from one to dozen representatives in Alaska. They all make re- ports and invariably give their conclusions which are always favorable to the development of AL aska: vet. congress is ineredulous enough that a personal investigation appears necessary. and to that end. several members of that suspicious body of lawmakers will visit us, or rather the country that they may see for themselves what we need You see. and that despite the fact that the democratic administration has promised us al kinds of help. and has expressed great con- fdence in us those old foxes" or lawmakers will not believe our representatives. Will not believe what Governor Strong, Delegate Wiekersham or anybody else tells them.

GETS DEED UNDER
ANCIENT DEAL
Farm Hand Paid Cash and
Worked for Land, but
Nearly Lost It

on Friday evening Judge John A.
Roesen in the Clay county district
court at Moorhead made an order in
the case of Swan N. Nelson VS.. Alfred
Olson, ct al, as administrators and
guardians, directing the transfer of
title to a fractional 40 of land to the
plaintiff.
Many years ago Swan N. Nelson
came to Cay county and secured en-
ployment on the farm Of Peter A.
Nelson in Oakport township. He
worked for several years and received
only his board and clothing. Finally
there was due him $500. Peterhad no
money to, pay him so he made a
deal, on Nov. 1, 1907, for a fractional
40 of land bordering on the Red
river. The $500 due him was to apply
as the first payment and he was to
the balance of the purchase price,
$500. Swan performed his part of
the contract and Peter was willing
to deliver the promised warranty
deed, but his wife. Johanna, was
peculiar and refused to join in the
conveyance. $500
On the evening of Nov. 81, 1915,
Peter broke through the ice while
crossing the Red river and was
drowned, leaving his wife, Johanna.
the sole heir to his estate. Johanna's
peculiarities became more acute and
on Dec. 20, 1916, she was adjudged
incompetent and Alfred Olson and
Hans Larson were appointed her
guardians. They and Leonard Peter
son were also the administrators OF
Peters estate.
During all these years Swan had
titled the land and paid the taxes,
still he had no title to the land. To
protect himself he brought suit
against the administrators of the
estate and the guardians Of the estate
of Johanna Nelson.

TERM
PLAN DROPPED
BY JUDGE COLE
System of Trying Cases at
Any Time Both Sides
Are Ready, Adopted
the new food conservation costume

Judge A. T. Cole is going to EN-.
bark upon new venture in the mat
ter of trying court cases in this dis
trict, which comprises the counties
of Cass, Trail and Steele.
Through his innovation in proce-
dure he hopes there will be much less
delay and that the work will be dis
tributed throughout the year more
EVENLY.
Hereafter in the Third judicial
district the cases which are filed for
trial will be noted, and the court
cases, that is, those which are to be
tried by the court without a jury,
will be taken up without waiting for
a regular term Of court, where both
parties are ready to try the case.
Under this new plan Judge Cole
hopes that the jury cases will not be
embarrassed with a lot of court
cases, besides which, litigation will
be expedited and the expense will be
somewhat reduced.
This should result in an Eearlier
disposition of cases in the trial court
and where appeals are taken to the
supreme court there will be much
less delay as the work will be dis
tributed throughout the year more
EVENLY" said the judge this after
noon,

DAY NURSERY
KIDDIES need
JELLY, TOO
Superintendent Asks Moth
ers of Fargo to Remem-
Der Them This Summer

An appeal that should reach the
heart of every Fargo housewife who
has little children in the home, or
who remembers their wants of years
gone by, Is made by Miss Sadie E.
Barrett, who is superintendent of the
Day Nursery in Fargo. The Day MUIR
sery is q new enterprise in. Fargo,
but is already success, for it fills
long felt need affecting the care
especially of children whose mothers
are forced by circumstances out of
their homes to seek a living. No one
who has visited the nursery and
heard the little ones asking for bread
and jelly, and who has witnessed
their disappointment when told that
there is none to be had, could resist
the bit of aid along this line that each
housewife may contribute. Miss Bar
rett's appeal follows:
ITO the people of Fargo:
Just six months ago the people Of
Fargo awoke to the realization that
our Associated Charities had opened
another much needed city welfare
work, a day nursery, a necessity to
every town or city where there are
mothers who have to go out and
either earn the living for a family or
help to earn 'the living. These moth
ers have taken advantage of our
nursery and it has grown almost
beyond our expectations.
Our city commissioners in in
specting the nursery were so well
pleased with the work that they are
helping us to get into permanent
quarters.
Our new home as far as we can
make it is to be model nursery, "a
place that the citizens Of Fargo will
be proud to own as their work and to
show to the visitors from out of the
CITY.
I'VE want each mother of Fargo to
take an interest in this work, for it
is yours. You know how much that
little girl or boy of yours likes bread
and jelly, the kind that mother
makes. While you are thinking Of
your little ones and planning for
them for the winter in putting up
your supplies, won't you please re-
member our little ones here and put
up an extra glass of jelly or jam for
them? Our larder is empty of such
things except for what we go out and
purchase. 1t would mean so much to
the children if you could do this and
such a help to the board who have
to raise the funds for our support.
Thanking you for all you have
done for W and for the many things
that have been given the nursery,
and hoping that We may be especial
ly remembered during the days Of
canning and jelly-making."
