STATE COUNCIL.
OF DEFENSE in
NEED OF MONEY
Plan for Financing Work Of
Organization May be
Worked Out.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 8-The North
Dakota defense council has been ham
pered since its organization by a COM
plete lack Of funds, but President v.
HI. Stickney of Dickinson believes the
plan of financing recently adopted
will work out, and that by the last Of
August the council will have attained
its stride.
War was declared after the North
Dakota legislature had adjourned.
Not a penny was appropriated by the
Fifteenth assembly for war work.
When the National Defense Council
Of this state was organized there was
no fund which it could draw IN. All
of the work it has done to date has
been carried on on $500 appropriated
by the emergency commission. The
states emergency fund is SO small
that 1t will not stand another nibble,
and the defense board has voluntarily
assumed the task of. financing the
council the next 18 months through
funds raised on personal notes. About
$4,000 will be required, and DR.. Stick
ney is confident that notes to that
amount will be Forthcoming. Gov
ernor Frazier has assured the council
that the next legislature will reim-
burse 1t for every penny expended.

ONE HORSE KILLED BY
POISONED OATS AND
OTHER MADE SICK

York, N. D., Aug. ts.-Frank Re-
vier, a farmer near this place, lost
one horse and three others were in a
bad condition as the result Of eating
poisoned oats believed to have been
put in the horses feed box for the
purpose of killing the animals by
some one who wanted to hinder the
farmer from cutting his grain.
Mr.. Revier placed some feed in the
box before going away from the place
and when he returned, fed the horses
what he supposed was the same feed.
Next morning as he was hitching the
animals to a binder, they became sick
and one died within a short time. A
doctor was called and saved the other
three. An examination of the feed
given the animals, showed hat oats
had been mixed with poison for the
purpose Of killing gophers, had been
placed in the box.
Several such cases have been found
in the state this year and a number of
attempts have been made to burn up
crops. The necessity of home guard
units in different places after the Ma
tional Guard has left is shown by such
practice and township organizations
will be formed in some sections.

Ten Counts According

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 8.-That
North Dakota's new grain grading act
Wh1c became effective July 1, is I'M

Il tended yesterday by Representative J.

This release from the custody of A. r.

was instituted to obtain a. ruling on
&the law.
Mr.. Gaulke petitioned District Judge

aAand under agreement appealed to the
court when the writ was de-
#nied. He is represented by J. F. T.

THRESHING OF RYE
STARTED NEAR MINOT

Minot, N. D., Aug. S.-Threshing
commenced in this vicinity. on Mon
day when the wheels started to turn
on the farm Of Alonzo Brown, five
miles. east Of Minot. The threshing
was rye which turned out twelve
bushels to the acre. The grain rece1v-
ed No. 2 grading and the price paid
at local elevators for that grade was
Sits per bushel which meant a value
per acre of SOL. This excellent yield
in view Of the dark prospects Is more
than encouraging the farmers Of this

was not made according to plain pro-
visions In the constitution, and be-
cause h act attempts to regulate in
'terstate commerce.
States Contention.
Attorney General LANCER and j. G..
Nuchols argued that one feature Of
the act might be found unconstitu-
tional without imperiling the act as a
whole; that the principal purpose Of
the act was the regulation Of market
ing, inspection and grading of grain
and that this purpose was expressed
in the title; that provisions relative to
cities investing in scales and scale
houses were lpermissory rather than
mandatory, and that the admittedly
weak feature of the act which was
for levying fees for grading and in
specting 25 pei cent in excess Of the
cost of operation in order thatsa fund
may be set aside for the erection Of
a terminal elevator was not pertinent
and could be eliminated without af-
fecting h act as q whole.
Deny Discrimination.
The state also held that the act
does not discriminate against track
buyers in favor Of elevators, but that
track buyers may purchase grain
which has been inspected by licensed
deputies or may themselves qualify as
licensed deputy inspectors. The state
further commended that there was no
discrimination in the fixing Of a fee
Of $40 for licensing Of elevator men
as deputies, while deputies appointed
by the chief inspector r charged no
license fee, inasmuch as the former
acted in private and the latter in. a
public capacity.
Features Of Act.
The egrain grading act provides that
no grain or other farm produce may
be purchased until it has been in
spected, weighed and graded by a
deputy inspector. It's enforcement
would mean the licensing Of a deputy
inspector for each Of North Dakota,s
1900 elevators and would place all Of
these deputies in charge Of DR.. 3. F.
tcollege, as chief inspector DR.. Ladd
has named J. A. McGovern of st. Paul
as chief deputy inspector, and he and
the railway commission which is
charged with responsibility for the
act have proceeded to place 1t in oper-
alton.
Judge Burke announced in the
course Of his argument that certain
features of the act violate the federal
as we'll as the state constitution and
that the United States supreme court
ultimately may be asked to pass on
the measu
The. act is one passed with the sup
port Of the Nonpartisap league last
winter, and its purpose as announced
by the league was to procure just
grades, weights and dockage for the
North Dakota farmers grain. DR..
Laid has announced that the newly
established federal grades will be
adopted. Attorney General LANCER in
a recently published opinion admits
that the constitutionality of some fea-
lures Of the act is in doubt.
The supreme court is expected to
announce it's ruling which willscleaI
up all of these questions at an early
date.
