UNIFORM SALES ACT
SIGNED BY FRAZIER
WILL HELP DAk0TANS
Protects Both Buyer and Seller
and Is Expected to Bring in
Foreign Business

Among the bills signed by Governor
Frazier on Saturday was Fl. B. 1888, in
troduced by j. F. 7. O'Connor of
Grand Forks, and creating North
Dakota law, uniform with the sales
acts Of other states. The act was
drafted under the supervision of the
commission on uniform state laws,
whose purpose is to remove so far
as practicable difficulties arising from
different laws in different states COW
erng the same subject. The statute
has been widely adopted, and in CIV
ing place on North Dakota's statute
books, the state has taken a step
which may be exported to increase
the volume of business crossing the
state line. Many local controversies
will be obviated and more certainty
will be enjoyed by both buyer and
seller in the knowledge that there is
a fundamental law covering their
transaction.
The uniform sales act covers such
cases as the one which recently found
it's way into the supreme court, when
a North Dakota farmer, after order.
ing a TRACTOR changed his mind, and
notified the company he desired to
cancel Not until the case had cost
all concerned much time and money
spent in litigation. was it decided
by the supreme courts ruling that the
farmer need pay only the damages
sustained nv the cOmnany as q result

More than a quarter million acres

Gus federal land districts in the state.

The actual aggregate of all new lands
patented in 1916 is 254,S52, which is

NEW TELEPHONE COMPANIES

TO date there have been reported to
State Auditor Kositzky the names of
35 telephone companies which here
tofore have escaped taxation. Some
of these companies, quite large ones,
have been in existence since 1902, and
have paid no taxes. There has been
a general misunderstanding, particu-
larly on the part of mutual telephone
companies. which have been inclined
to consider themselves exempt from
taxation. Four companies which had
been paying no tax were reported to-
day from one small community, in re-
spouse to the circular letter sent out
by the state auditor last week. Mr..
Kositzky is of the opinion that the to-
tai number of tax-free companies will
exceed his original estimate Of $50,
and that several thousand dollars will
be added to the revenues of the state.

NIGHT SCHOOLS NOW
ON SANE BASIS WITH
OTHER INSTITUTIONS
Entitled to Share in State and To-
cal Apportionment for Pub
lie Education

After July l, North Dakota's strug-
Cling night schools, established
| through private enterprise in Grand
Forks, Fargo, Minot, jamestown,
Dickinson, Bismarck and other larger
towns of the state, and which have a
combined enrolment of several hun
dred pupils. will become an integral
part of the educational system of the
state and pass under the jurisdiction
of the state and county superintend-
ents of instruction. Heretofore local
school boards have had no authority
to levy moneys for the aid of night
schools. They have been assisted to
some extent by the public schools,
but in majority of cases private
subscriptions have financed the insti
tutons, which have come to be recOg
nized as power for good.
Representative II. A. Mackoff is the
author Of House Bill 81. providing
that the school board of any common.
Independent or consolidated school
district, or OF any unOrganiZed terri
tory may, and upon the direction of
the county superintendent or the state
superintendent. shall establish public
evening schools as a branch Of the
public schools, and such schools shall
be open to all persons over sixteen
years Of age who are unable to attend
the common schools of the district.
1t becomes the duty OF the board of
education to establish such schools
whenever class of ten or more adults
desiring instruction shall be organic
ed, and the night school shall be
maintained not less than three months
out of each year, and for not less than
two hours. three evenings each week.
One-halfs the salaries of night school
teachers shall be paid by the state,

made for the purpose. a"~...

One of the closing tableaux, in which Horton the mining camps evil spirit, succumbers to tragic death in the desert, is one of the most powerful .;Ver screened. As sort of poetic justice. he meets his death at the hands of the woman he has lured from home, so that it is his own wrongdoing which proves to be his Nemesis.
 The desert country and the rough mining towns are shown in "The;r Compact" in contrast to the scenes of New York life in which James Van Dyke Moore (Francis X. Bushmanl originally moves. Going westward the memory of a bad woman is erased from his heart by the winsome smile of good one, Mollie Anderson, played by Beverly Bayne. Soon he is suing for her favor with an enthus; osM and fashionable woman of so- clety could never arouse in him.
 Good and evil influences battle in the primitive mining town of Silver vllle, and Jim Moore has need of al, his superb strength. Of mental cour age he has unusual need. ! For that is the central idea in Their Com- pact" '~e'7

 "Skinner's Bubble'' might we'll be called sequel to 'Skinner's Dress Suit. It simply adds another chap ter to the life of Skinner and his ador- ing wife, Honey, which was so admir- ably launched in the first production. Yet you who were 50 unfortunate as to miss the dress suit episode-it was without doubt one of the most entertaining bits of screen work pro- 1ected this season-w:il not be con fused in viewing "SE:nner's Bubble'.
