BOARD RESOLVES
NOT TO RESOLVE

County Commissioners Take Neu.
trail Stand on Improvement
About Court House
QUESTION AS TO WHO
WOULD PAY FOR WORK

The adoption of a resolution not
to adopt resolutions requesting the
city to pave the streets about the
court house was the only important
bit of business transacted by the
county commissioners at their June
meeting, which adjourned yesterday.
Resolutions had been presented for
the boards consideration requesting
the city to pave about the county
building. In turn Commissioner Swan
son of Driscoll presented resolutions
seconded by Commissioner Ward of
Bismarck holding that 1T is unneces-
sary in order to bind the county to
pass said resolution, as we have the
opinion of the states attorney that
the county would be liable to pay for
the paving i 1t should be done; and
whereas the county commissioners
have taken no steps to prevent the
said paving, although the cost thereof
will be in the neighborhood of $4,000,
and whereas by section $3.50 c. l..
1918, the board Shall submit to the
people of the county at any regular
or special election any question in
volving an extraordinary outlay of
money by the county, and etc. >"
j.. Resolves to Stand Pat. - -
Wherefore the county commission
did resolve that it. refuse to resolve
as requested, for the reasons above
stated, and further because it is en-
tirely matter that the law provides
shall be ordered and completed by
the city commissioners and not by
the county commissioners, and II the
pavement turns out to be of inferior
quality or not made according to spe-
cifications the blame and responsible
ity for some should be on the city
commissioners who have charge of
the work and not upon the county
commissioners
Thereupon Commissioner E. G. Pat
terson, the only other commissioner
present, voted "aye," and made it
unanimous.
Rather Neutral.
To a lay reader States Attorney
McCurdy's opinion may appear some
what neutral" He says in answer
to an oral request from Commission.
err Patterson as to the liability of the
county for paving, should the city
go ahead and pave streets aDutting on
the court house without petition
from the county: There is a sharp |
division of opinion on this question.
In my opinion the older rule is that
the county is not liable, but believe
that the modern rule is to the effect
that counties are liable to pay the
assessment and will say that in my
Judgment the county would be liable
to pay for the paving if it should be
done"
fltJ IH. Streets Affected.
Blocks upon which the county con-
trolls half the frontage and which are
not included in the paving district be-
cause this frontage has not petitioned
for the improvement are Thayer from
Fifth to Sixth; Sixth from Thayer to
Rosser; Rosser from Fifth to Sixth,
and Fifth from Rosser to Thayer.
Upon these streets face the McCabe
Methodist Episcopal church, the city
hall, the Bismarck public library, now
in course of construction, the Bis
marck hospital and the Will school.

AN INTERESTING ANT.
Yhe Leaf Cutter Carries an Umbrella
and Raises Mushrooms,


OF the many species Of ants that in
habit tropical and semitropical coun-
tries the umbrella ant Is one of the
most interesting. The insects have the
habit Of cutting small round pieces
about quarter Of an inch in diameter
from the leaves Of trees, which they
then carry to their burrows. From
that fact the species is also known as
the leaf cutting ant. The process of
stripping the trees Of their leaves is
carried out methodically. The ants on
:heir predatory expeditions divide into
TWO parties, one Of which ascends the
trees and cuts the leaves from their
stalks. while the other party remains
Oh the ground, seizes the leaves and
cuts out the disks. Each ant in car
rying the disk to its burrow holds 1t
over Its head as a man carries an UNI
brella, hence the term umbrella ant"
According to writer in the Field, the
leaves are stored in underground bur-
rows until they decay. BY that time
they have become covered with kind
Of fungus that forms the food Of the
ants. In other words. the ants raise
mushrooms and use the leaves for
mushroom beds.

THEATER PARTY GIVES JOY
Not Always to the Participants, but to
Those Who Can Smile at Others
EooIishness.

A theater party is group composed
of two types of peOple-thOse who
have seen the play an absurd number
Of times and those who would give
anything not to see it.
The performance selected is usually
musical comedy. This has come to
mean nowadays an entertainment hav-
ing no music and which is not comic.
The chief characteristics of a the
alter party are two suffering chap
erons, one Of either sex; a number
of young ladies who constantly inter
rupt the dialogue of the play and an
equal number of young men, some OF
whom read the programs, yawn or
sleep, while others tlirt with the cho-
rus.
When attending musical show 1t
is modish to keep time with the Or
chestra by tapping smartly the back
of the seat in front of you. Frequent
ly many of the party have seen the
performance before and know the
music fairly well. 1t is de rigueur in
this case to join in the chOruSes OF
the various songs and effectually
drown the voices Of the actOrs.-Life.

Oil Is kinQ.

The European war is without doubt
doing more to direct general attention
to the claims of oil and it's multitu-
dinous products than any amount Of
advertising in normal times could have
accomplished.
The great clash of arms on the con-
tinent has from it's commencement
shown that the necessity for the prod
ucts of petroleum in up-to-date warfare
is no less than in either the Industrial
circles or in domestic life. We are to-
day as much dependent upon the re-
fined products of crude oil as we are
upon wheat and other necessities Of
life, and as time goes on, and the uses
which are constantly being found for
petroleum multiply, our dependency
upon oil becomes the greater.
1t is no surprise, therefore, to find
that not only are petroleum products
generally commanding greater attention
than they ever before did, but that
particular healthy atmosphere perme-
ates those enterprises which have laid
themselves out-and successfully So
to engage in the production, the re-
filming, the transport, or the distribu-
ton Of petroleum products. There is,
in short, no mistaking the fact that in
the future, oil will be king.-Petro-
leum Review.

Frank l.. Stanton of the Atlanta
Constitution is one of the best known

he is one of Americas sweetest poets.
One of his dainty lyrics is entitled
Just Livin' Along" 1t is song of

Let us be thankful that we're just

Life, joyous, jubilant, vital and
thrilling, is all about us. Birds beasts,
plants and flowers live and love and

Indeed, is there anything other or
greater than life in its myriad mani
festations? 1t doesn't much matter
how we designate the forms and as
poets of being. Let us be thankful that
we're just Twin along. We shall con-
tinue to live. All our worries and
frettings will not affect that fact.

It was bound Tor the city or New York,
where at that time there was living
broken, homeless, forsaken man
named Aaron Burr, a man eXecrated
at home, discredited abroad, but who
now, after years of exile, had crept
home to the country which had cast
him out.
A passenger on that ship was Theo.
dosia Aston, the daughter of Aaron
Burr. That much is known. The ship
sailed. 1t never came to port.
To this day none knows what was
the fate Of Aaron Burr's daughter, one
of the most appealing figures Of her
day, woman made for happiness. but
continually in close touch with TRACE
dy. Wherever her body may lie, she
has her wish. The sound of the eter-
nal waters is the continuous requiem
in her ears Her secret, if she had
one, is washed away long ere this and
is one with the eternal secrets Of the
sea. AS to her sin, she had none.
Above her memory, since she has no
Z,
the words she wrote at a time Of her
own despair:
81 hope to be happy in the next
world, for have not been bad in this"
Did the little brook in Tennessee ever
find it's way down to the sea? Did it
carry a scattered drop of a mans life
blood, little by little thinning, thinning
on its long journey? Did ever wan
dering flake of ashes, melting, rest on
its bosom for so great a journey as
that toward the sea?
Did the sound Of voice in the will
derness passing across the unknown
leagues ever reach an ear that heard?
Who can tell? Perhaps in the great
10000 years such things may be. Per-
haps deep calls to deep, and there are
no longer sins nor tears.
A million hearth fires mark the camp
fire trail of Meriwether Lewis. We
own the country which he found and
for which he paid. He sleeps. Above
him stands the monument which his
chief assigned to him-his country. 1t
rises now in glory and splendor, the
perfected vision which he saw.
That is the happy ending Of his
story-his country. 1t is ours. AS its
title came to us in honor, it is for US
to love it honorably, to use it honora-
bly, and to defend it honorably. None
may withstand US while we hold to his
ambitions, while our sons measure to
the stature Of such man.

MADE FROM LEMON GRASS
Valuable Oil That Contains an Extra.
ordinarily Large Amount of CitraI
Comes From India.

There is a valuable oil made from
lemon grass. Its chief commercial cen
ter is Trvandrum, in Travancore, a
state in southern India. Obscurity pre-
walls as to the botanical sources of
eastern Indian lemon grass oils, but
they are generally stated to be derived
from CymbOpogOn citratuS and Gym
bopogon tleXuoslis. The former is ma
tive of Bengal and is largely cultivated
all over India, but the oil distilled in
the Malabar coast Is derived principal
ly from CymbOpogon tleXuosus. This
plant grows plentifully in Travancore,
especially on the slopes of the noun
tains to the north Of Anjengo. The
hillsides are said to be fired in January
to burn down the old and useless grass.
Six months later the fresh crop is
ready to be cut. BY that time the
countryside is dotted all over with fur
naces and stills. During July, August,
September and October operations are
continually maintained, but there
would appear to be no second crop. In
It" CuSeS LuIOpeallS nave SoldU-
lished distilleries on an improved plan.
The Moplas (native gatherers) are
said to recognize y forms Of the wild
plant, of which five only are Of COM
mercial value and one is cultivated
and never flowers. The most interest
ing feature Of the lemon grass oil is
the large PERCENTAGE of citral that it
contains. This has been variOusly
stated at 10 to 50 per cent, and infe-
rior or adulterated samples 40 to 90
per cent. 1t is employed in the manu-
facture of artificial perfumes, such as
the violet, known as ionone, and like
all the grass oils is utilized mainly in
pertaining soaps. An important use to
which it is applied in the United States
is in the preparation of furniture pol
ish. The production of lemon grass
oil in South India on commercial
scale is an industry of comparatively
recent growth.

HEAVY Money,

How to keep your money safe from
thieves is problem that was solved
by the inhabitants of Jap, in the Caro-
line islands, when they devised cur
rency too heavy for burglars to carry
away. The money used by the natives
is in the form Of huge wheels of stone.
weighing as much as 500 pounds and
roughly shaped in the form of grind
stone. A large hole in the center is a
feature Of the Jap money. Even the
clam shell pennies are perforated. The
stones are used for large purchases
only. II an islander becomes wealthy
enough to purchase pig he must part
with 500 pound circular stone, but if
he is required to deliver it for any dis
lance the pork is we'll earned.-Ameri-
can Boy.
