CASE AGAINST
CITY DISMISSED
Supreme Reverses Lower
Court in Moulton Per
sonal Injury Suit -

The state supreme court in revers-
ing the decision of the Cass county
district court in the case of Dan
Moulton Of Fargo. against the city Of
Fargo, dismisses the action on the
ground that the acceptance of the
gratuitous service offered by the city
in supplying public dumping
ground deprived the acceptor Of any
legal claim against the city.
Dan Moulton started suit against
the city for $4,000, alleging the loss
of an eye and injuries to his face re-.
ceived from burns received while un-
loading debris on the dumping
grounds. Later he petitioned the
court to increase the amount men
toned in his suit from $1,000 to $10,-
600, but this was denied.
The action was tried in the Cass
county district court and judgment
was given the plaintiff for $500. City
appealed.
The opinion was written by Judge
Robinson who holds that maintain
ing q free dumping ground is a gov
ernmental function. Chief Justice
Bruce and Justices Christianson and
Birdzell concurred, with Justice
Grace dissenting.

Cards are being received at the

In a letter issued from the state
food administration ONCE this week,
DR.. E, F. Ladd warns housewives,
owners OF hotels and cafes that gra-
ham and whole wheat breads must
not be served on wheatless days. His
ruling is that there shall be no wheat

He encourages the use of graham

Of the week as a substitute and saw
ing for white bread.
It is estimated that one-fourth OF
the homes in Fargo are observing a

OF GASOLINE
IS NOT LIKELY
No Shortage, But Reduc-
ton of Wastefulness is
Urged

The curtailment Of gasoline con-
sumption for motor vehicles by the
government is not likely, according
to word from official Washington,
and statements by persons who are
close to the situation.
A survey of the entire country, it
is said. has revealed no particular oil
or gasoline shortage, and while a
campaign to reduce wastefulness will
be waged, there is no Immediate
danger of the supply being curtailed.
The following Washington dis
patch is elf-explanatory:
Fuel Administrator Garfield
announced yesterday that motor
car owners are not in any danger
Of having gasoline curtailed,
and that survey of the entire
country has not shown the oil
and gasoline situation to be
acute, and that for the present
no steps would be taken to re-
strict the use Of such fuel for
motive power.
The administrator stated that
he, however, would inaugurate
campaigns to reduce wasteful-
ness OF gasoline, and to educate
car owners how to cut down
gasoline consumption. This con-

1ished in which the fear Of gas
Oline restriction was pointed out

Not Pleasure Vehicles.
Automobile men have taken excep-
ton to the oft repeated statement
that an automobile Is a pleasure
and should be 'interned" for
the duration of the war.
An automobile, they declare, ex-
cept in rare cases. is no more a pleas
ure vehicle than is farmers pillow,
and is absolutely essential in the
of modern-day bust
ness.
The automobile, they say, is a
time-saving, labor saving. life
device, and while pleas
ure is derived from it's use, its need
in all lines of business has become so
general that 1t cannot in justice be
called a pleasure vehicle.
