The suggestion made last week by
Chancellor T.. c. Elliott of the Uni

Ing fruit already. Director ]. p
Rowe of the State University's summer
session, stated yesterday that in all
PROBABILITY those courses pertaining to
any phases Of the war, will be con-
Quoted In such way as to be most
e1ficicnt In this respect. The neces-
sary changes have already been
worked out and now need only official

COUNTY DADS MEET

The county commissioners met again
Monday to take up the usual July
grind of county business. Road mat

day and yesterday. Monday there were
perhaps fifty people present interested
one way or another in proposed roads
east and southwest of Linton. Tues
day hearing was held to determine

POISON BEANS FOUND

The poison bean situation in North
Dakota took more serious aspect last
week when DR.. E F. Ladd, president
of the agricultural college, who has
been leading the fight to rid the state
of the deadly variety, received word
from farmer in the north central
part of the state saying that he had
planted some of the poisonous beans.
The same farmer also reported that
other farmers living in that vicinity
had done likewise.
DR.. Ladd stated that while the bean
will probobly not develop in this eli
mate, that there is danger of it being
fed to stock. He warns the farmers
that the green plant and the green
bean would be injurious, and that care
should be taker that none of the
plants are fed to stock.
While at Bismarck last week DR..
Ladd identified 25 20O-pound bags of
poison beans. They were condemned
and sent back to the jobber.

A BIG CELEBRATION.

One of the greatest Fourth of July
celebrations in the history of southern
North Dakota was that which took
place at Braddock this year. It is es-
timated that five thousand people from
Emmons, Kidder and Logan counties
attended. At the ball game in the af-
ternoon, the grounds were completely
surrounded by automobiles, and behind
the home plate they were two deep.
Nearly all of the Linton population
spent some of the time at Braddock.
The Linton band furnished the music,
and the members of that body report
the finest kind of treatment by the peo-
pie of the 500 town. Large dancing
pavilians and refreshment stands had
been prepared, and the crowds were
well taken care Of.
Strasburg and Hazelton were repre-
sented by base ball teams, and Wishck
vas there also.
The Braddock celebration was the
only one of any size for miles around.
and the hundreds of visitors there
were well repaid for their trip. Those
who heard the address of Rep. O'Con-
nor, of Grand Forks, were of one ac-
cord in stating that his talk alone
repaid them for the effort. Mr..
o'connor is Yale graduate, and an
orator of national reputation.

"went to it."
Harding and one or two others paid
their cash to provide funds for incor-
poration fees.
We wish to explain to our readers
that anything can form a corporation.
A ten thousand dollar corporation may
be formed and charter issued before
any stock is even contracted for at all.
That was practically the case in this
instance. Townley's man Totten came
down here and incorporated" COM
pany. Now the thing is to get the
funds. When there are funds avail
able the Free Press will be bought
probably at figure great deal more
than it is worth-and Harding will be
ready to follow the dictations of Mr..
Townley, of st. Paul. in running the
Emmons Farmers Press. Mr.. Stew
art will them get what was promised
him when he came here-and which
promise wasn't fulfilled when Heinie
suddenly "beat it-certain local peo-
pie will have financial strain off their
shoulders-and the farmers will foot
the bills.
When some smooth gentleman comes
along and wants your money for the
newspaper deal remember that the
incorporation was fostered and started
by man who confessed that he was a
failure as newspaper man himself at
Bowman, this state. Remember that
the league bosses in Fargo will die
tate the editorial policy Of your paper,
as they hope to do in every county in
the state and thus cover up their polit-
ical tricks while they run the state.
If you want to stiAe all honest crit
icism and to be able to secure only
such information as is doctored up
for you in F3ygo, then help to make
the "Emmons Farmers Press, Inc"
go. Also remember another strik-
ing fact: Thousands of dollars were
collected by the Nonpartisan League
and there is no corporate existence
yet. In this. deal there is corpo-
ration before any money is collected
whatever. If the bunch who are get
ting the money are on the square it
seems that an organization collecting
hundreds of thousands of dollars
should be incorporated if little $1O,-
600 newspaper venture should be. AL
so, look out for "watered stock" when
the promoters come around. Many a
nan has become rich by promoting
corporations Of one sort or another.
Many have been stung by buying the
stock.

Will Still Function
The interstate commerce commits
sion and other government and state
agencies, which have to do with rail.
functions under the new plan except
the railroad director. Railroads still
will apply to the commission for
changes in rates and practices.
Early decision in the application Of
eastern and western roads for Is
per cent advance in freight rates pend
ing before the commission, now is ex-
pected. The commission Is consider
ing application of the express COM
panies for a 10 per cent increase.
Although the plan to control is not
outlined in detail it was the opinion
that the British system would be fol-
lowed closely except in the matter of
paying for government freight
In England, the government freight
Is carried free and the guaranteed
earnings require an enormous amount
of money from government funds,
while in the United States the govern
ment will pay it's freight and stand
increases if they are found necessary.
Up to Government
Railroad experts estimate that the
government plan to guarantee earning
equivalent to average net operating
income of the last three years will
cost the government about s1O0.0o0.0o0
next year, which can be raised by in
crease in freight rates. In addition
to this cost, the recent demand Of the
railroad brotherhoods for 40 per
cent advance in wages calls for ans
wer by the railroads on or before
December p, and it is expected that
