Let the Senator's who is willing
to take the tempting shilling re
turn from whence he came blot
upon his name, then repent, re-
oent Of all his former crimes un-
til the sun no longer on him
shines"
To think that this mere hand
full of men should hold the wheels
Of this government at stand
still is prepoSterous. TMe contemp
tible leader Of the gang has been
all too many years drawing fat
salary from Uncle Sam and has
learned the ropes too we'll. When
a man is his position will do what
he has done at this time when his
opposition might bring disaster
to the United States, then we have
nothing to assure us that he is
not in league with the monster
which is reaching over the seas,
dealing death and obstruction a
like to friend and foe. We read
of one poor ignorant fellow being
arrested and fined for wiping the
mud from his hands on flag
which happened within his reach
and Of another who used a small
flag to rub the grease from a
bench that received sentence for
this mi>dcmeanor. And this is
as it should be. but what punish
ment should be dealt out to those
Senators who have done infinitely
worse? If the President made
such a blunder he would be i'm
peached, but millions of people
are left at the mercy of twelve
Senators and no redress.-A Sub
scriher.

The bill was amended several
times and it was only after the
conference committee had con-
ferred several times that the Old
Guard members and the Nonpar-
tisans could get together on the
bill.
The bill provides that the gov
ernor, attorney general and state
treasurer and one citizen from
each congressional district and
one from the state at large to be
appointed by the governor shall
form the commission. An az
preparation Of 100000, Including
the terminal elevator fund, which
amounts over $4,000 was pro-
videi.

TO the attention Of the assamb-
y were brought number of good
pieces of labor legislation. such
as the workmens compensation
act. the full crew bill, etc. These
measures passed the house where
the members worked hand i'm hand
with the labor leaders. In the
senate the Nonpartisans were in
the minority and these measures
failed.
The most important matter TO
come before the assembly was
House Bill ~. the proposed new
constitution. This bill passed
the house by large vote. but was
defeated in the senate. The vote
, on this measure showed who was
/ Tor the farmers program and who
opposed it.
Several bills for the construc-
ton of packing plants. flour mills
etc. were before the assembly;-in
troduced largely by Old Guard
members. The bills provided for
the construction Of these utilities
by direct taxation. The Non
partisan members and the farm
ers of the state are opposed to the
construction of utilities by direct
taxation. believing that bondr..s
is much the more feasible and Just
method. Therefore these bills
We're amended and as the amend
ments were not concurred in the
bills were killed.
| 1t was only two hours before
final adjournment that a bill was
passed to provide for the construc
ton Of terminal elevators within
or without the state. Bills max
ing effective the provision of the
constitution for amendments of
the initiative were killed by the
Old Guard.

IMPORTANT LAWS PUT ON

Bismarck, y. DIV men the
North Dakota Fifteenth Assembly
passed into history early tins
morning about 80 per cent out of
approximately 800 bills introduce
ed had been enacted into law. OF
the several hundred enacted the
governor has signed So. 81 senate
bills and 10 house bills. and two
resolutions.
More fundamental legislation,
was brought up i'm the Fifteenth
assembly than had been brought
before the legislature since state
hood. and while resistance to the
enactment of the League program
caused each of the houses to can
eel many Of the bills passed by
the other. some substantial and
well-conSi,iered legislation was
passed.
One of the features of the ses-
sion is that it brought the people
closer to the laws. 1t has slim
ulated interest in legislation and
i'm the process of enacting laws.
Many people watched the proceed
ing during the session and the
session and the people of the
state had their eyes on the assemo
ly more than any other was dir
, ectly connected with the people.
Both houses worked hard. They
were serious and the 'horseplay
was limited. Old Guard sena-
tors and representative halted
legislation of the Nopartisian Lea
que. but there was not large At
mount Of bitterness except in the
senate during the last few days.
\ large number of measures, such
as liquor measures and Sunday
laws we're up for consideration.
which usually cause considerable
heat in discussion. but as a whole
the session was good naturad.
The session strengthened sup
port of the Nonparti>an League
program without a doubt. The
people have had their attention di
rccted TO the program and the
League legislators showed aheir
determination to accomplish what !
they started out TO do. 1t must |
be- admitted that he League has
placed very little in regard to it's
program on the statue books, but
this was due to the fact that the
measures were killed IN the SEN
ate. which vas dominated by the
Old Guard.
OF the most important acts may

Some test corn on a 4O-acre
field. This is an expensive way.
If 80 per cent of it grows, that
means only 20 acres of corn. but

Now is a good time to test the
seed corn.
The best way lis to test each
ear. This is not as much work
az one might think. Is to 90
ears are enough to plant an acre.
The rag doll method is the easiest
method.
Secure a piece of Sheeting. 10
inches wide. mark a line down the
center an0 cross lines every two
inches. Mark each space to cor
respond TO the number'on an ear
of corn. Arrange the ears of
corn so that they can be number
cd. the numbers in the spaces on
the cloth to correspond to the
numbering Of the ears. Remove
5 kerRels from each ear and put
on the square bearing the same
number as the ear. When the
spaces are filled. roll up the cloth
tic string around it. then wet it
thoroughly and set one end in a
basin with a little water in it.
After 5 to 6 days. ulroll the cloth
and examine the corn for germ
nation. The most vigorous germ
ination will indicate the best seed
corn. Keep only the ears for seed
that have shown the best germina
ton. If only I out Of the kerr
nel> grew. the corn will not make
first class seed.

CHEESE

Cheese has a higher food value
pound for pound than meat. There
is very little waste. 1t can be
eaten raw or cooked. An ounce
of cheese is equal in food value
t" a.: ounces of meat, to 1 egg or
to glass of milk. The high
food value of cheese. its convent
rnce for serving and its easy
Keeping qualities make il food
that can often REPLACE inca! and
eggs to good advantage.

lefevre Solves a Mystery


Some ten days after the arrest in
Paris of the. man who had represent
ed himself as George Vernon, and the
woman who had been his companion.
n party Of several people gathered
In the office Of Mr. Germaine, manag-
Ing director Of the Transatlantic
Line.
The party consisted of Mr.. Ger
maine himself, Mr.. Ogden Morris,
Mile. Mercier Captain Bonnot, whose
vessel had arrived in port that morn
ing, and Barnes, the chief detective Of
the line. I-. BE-
They were awaiting the arrival Of
NJ. Leievre, the prefect of police. He
had requested them to meet him at
Mr.. Gcrmaine's office, and all realized
that ii was for the purpose of laying
before them the solution of the mys-
terry which for nearly month had
surrounded the disappearance of the
Richelieu's purser, and with him of
tile singular coin which had formed
Mile. Mercier's legacy. I
During the two weeks which had
elapsed since the sailing of the Richie
lieu, Mr.. Germaine had heard nothing
further OF M. Lefevre. He had, in
fact, dismissed the whole matter from
his mind, fully believing that the pre-
feet would handle it with entire salts
faction to all concerned.
The message from Lefewe; there
fore, requesting meeting on this
morning, came as somewhat of
relief. He concluded that now the
whole matter would be finally cleared

maine could get out of him.
Barnes seemed to share his feel
ings. His efforts to locate Hartmann
in New York had proven painful
failure to him. He preferred not to
refer 10 the.-subjeet all.
At ten o'clock promptly the prefect
came in. He was as lnlmaculatnly
dressed, as dcbonair, as ever. Even
the gardenia in the lapel of, his coat
seemed stil to bear upon it the mois-
ture of the early morning dew, :.
He bowed 10 the assembled party,

yellow chamOis-skin gloves. Il am de-
