for the plaintiff and the bank appeals

for the plaintiff and the bank appeals
to this court.
AS the trial court found and as the
evidence shows, the plaintiffs equity
in the land amounts to $4,000, and so
it seems the bank insists on receiving
from the plaintiff twelve times the
total amount OF its little mortgage,
with interest and costs. That seems
like trying to kill the goose that laid
the golden egg. Under the statute o
MORTGAGE or his assigns may fairly
and in good faith become purchaser
of the property sold. Good faith con-
sists in an honest intention to abstain
from taking an unconscientious
advantage of another even through the
forms and technIcalities of law. The
law and the courts are not made to
rob men of their property. The case
is much the same as If party should
pledge or pawn a watch worth $780,
as security for $40, payable in a.
month when the owner comes to de-
deem his watch. the pawnee says to
him: 'You are too late. / have sold
the watch to myself for $40" OF
course that is not good faith. 1t is
trying to take an unconscionable
advantage OF another through the
forms and technicalities of the law.
And strange as it may seem. there are
some court decisions that do in such
cases hold in favor of giving the pound
OF flesh, but we prefer to base the
decision of this court on a broader
and a better equity. We agree with
the trial court that the foreclosure was
unnecessary: that it was conducted
in bad faith and for the purpose of
obtaining title to the plaintiffs land,
and that the debt might well have
been collected by fair and courteous
notices and correspondence, without
judgment of the district court is af~
firnAd.

Minnesota. Marquis wheat Is a new
having been introduced in 1913 and
1914. The increase in acreage in this
wheat, however. has been remarkable,
and last year approximately one-third
OF the total acreage in wheat was de-
voted to 1t.
Durum wheat represents from Is to
10 per cent of the wheat grown in
Minnesota and the Dakotas. In Minne-
sofa alone, however. only about 2 per
cent of the wheat crop is durum. The
Arnautka variety Is grown largely in
the eastern portions OF North Dakota
and South Dakota and in Minnesota.
The Kubanka is grown in the drier,
western part of the Dakotas.

 Alaska is land of big things. It is, indeed a big thing itself Few people realize that Alaska has which is considerably than twice as great that of Texas The Territory is 800 miles wide and HOO miles long. It's is great as that of all the States East of the Mississippi river and north of Mississippi and South Carolina. We are accustomed to seeing Alaska shown upon a little of the map of North America that fail to get proper idea of it's immensity.
 There other things concerning Alaska aside from it's immense that not generally apprec- iated It is commonly supposed that Alaska is land of continuous wnter-that it is always covered with and ice and that the people who live there are compelled to wrap themselves in furs the year round. Much of Alaska is cold it is true but there are parts of the country where the climate is delightful where, in winter freezing weather is far from being the rule In certain districts lying the pronounced the winters mild and the sum- long and delightful In those parts of Alas ka strawberries, melons and other fruits and veget- ables peculiar to the temperate grown in considerable quantities.

 ARMY CANTONMENT

CAMP LEWIS, Oct 27-Eddie Warren. of Glacier Park, Mont, is about the most abused man in all of Uncle Sans new National army
 Eddie, back in the horse country, had a great reputation as a rider He is generally regarded as one of the greatest riders in the West
 As private in the 34Sth heavy artillery, Eddie has been drilling many hours daily ever since his ar rival in Camp Lewis; three weeks ago, For the artillerymen, who later will be mounted, have not yet received their horses.
 Eddie went to his captain Eddie talks with a delightful drawl, rem inescent of his boyhood days in the South
 Captain" said Eddie, "Ah jes' c2in't walk no mo. Nah feet jes' nachally gone, captain. Ah'll ride any blankety-blank thing with hair on it. captain. but An cain't walk. Deed An cain't."
 Eddie told the Star correspond ent that he is so tired at night that he can't sleep.
 "Ah nevah walked mon 50 feet at one time in nah life befo'," said the disgusted cowboy
 Part of Eddy's troubles are his boots. They are mostly Mexican tops and high heels. The heels are five inches high. Together they cost $16, he says And his beaver hat stood him" $19.
 "A cowboy" complained Eddie, pays mo for his duds and gets less wages than anbody on earth"
 His captain has promised Eddy that as soon as the battery gets it's mounts. he can have a job breaking and training them.

Congressman McLemore has issued a statement in which he says that if the Secretary of State has information that will involve Congressmen in Ger intrigue that they have been the benefioaries of German money he should place the information before the country and to duplicate Congress and others by inuendo.
 It strikes The Empire that this demand is entirely unnecessary. If Secretary Lansing. knew that there traitors in Congress there is absolute pre- sumption based his houesty and patriotism that he would have laid the matter before Congress long ago The Secretary of State is not man who con- ceals crime and contrary to Representative McLe- more's impression. }he is not man to attack mem- bers of Congress- by innuendo
 What he has done is to lay before the country positive proof that Germany tried to influence Con- gress. If any suspicious person thinks members of Congress- may have yielded to improper influence, nat is not the Secretarys fault and he is not bound withhold important information to give out in. formation against his judgment simply to put mem bers of Congress at He has said that there is evidence in his hands showing wrong doing on the part of any Congressman and that ought to be enough to soothe any but representative soul

The Wise Editor.

The editor of the small town news paper was in dire distress. He owed every body. and he was out at the el- bows and had patches on the seat of his pants because the local merchants would not advertise with him. So the editor took his pen in hand and wrote this item. which appeared in the follow ing issue of his paper:
 "A certain prominent merchant
 in this town. who is married
 man. was seen hugging one of his
 pretty clerks the other day. We
 have his name"
 An the next day five local merchants dropped in to see the editor. handed him good cigars. patted him on the back and gave him copy for adverts- . space to be run in his paper.

 Now that Uncle Sam has the young of the country in training for military service tors and stenographers and typewriters, both and women, for the Departments at Wash ington. The Civil Service Commission has noti- fled all of it's 5000 boards of examiners that they should put forth their best efforts se- cure thes urgently needed workers While ex- amnations held weekly in 450 cities the Commission states that arrangements will be made to have examination held at any accessible place where a small class of appli- cants be secured.
