ONE AUTO FOR EVERY ELEVEN

Sargent county has SS1 motor
cars according to the report of
E. M. Walla, of the automobile
registration department of the
secretary of state office.
Cass county with $500 ma
chimes has the most. In density
of machines, Sargent county is
seconded only to Burke which has.
car for every ten people, while
Sargent county has one car for
every eleven people.
Last year there were 572 cars
in Sargent county, but the list
has nearly doubled in the past IL
months.
Based upon the estimate the
rats Of cars in North dakota
there is one car to every Is oeo-
pie. 1t is interesting to note
that with exception of a few coun
ties in which the saddle horse is
still the popular means of loco
motion, such as Billings, Slope
and Williams, the percentage of
cars is greatest west Of the river.

law CONSTITUTIONAL
JUDGE ALLEN MOI n4

The law creating the teachers
pension and retirement fund is a
sound hole proof constitutional
statue, ruled Judge Frank p. AL
len, sitting in the Fourth district
bench at Lisbon, in decision
which was received by Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction Tay
lor.
The case in hand grew out of
the refusal Of Ransom county to
pay the per capita tax of 10
cents per pupil of school age
which the statute orescl'ibcs for
the maintenance of the fund.
Ransom protested on the ground,
that the law was unconstitutional
and after three years fees, ap-
proAimating $1,000, had accumu-
lated. the trustees OF the fund
brought suit against the county
as q means Of testing the law.
Assistant Attorney General Ii.
R. Biting handled the case for
the school fund and won COM
plete victory in Judge Aliens de-
cision, which holds there is not
a single flaw i'll the statute at
tackled.
In addition TO the per capita
pupil tax of 10 cents, the teach
ers' pension and retirement fund
receives per cent from teachers
salaries during the first ten years
of their membership and 2 per
cent during the next is years at
the end of which time instructors
may retire to enjoy the benefits
of the pension provided. In the
event of icnapacity, teachers
may retire with pension after
is years service.

IN GOOD COMPANY

I'm the arrangements of the
rural credit districts, North Da-
kota appears in pretty desirable
company. The seventh district
of which North Dakto is member
includes also the states of Min
mesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
Other plans urged contemplated
the creation of a district which
would made up solely of the new
er western states, such as the two
Dakotas and Montana, and in
plans Wyoming was added to
these.
If the rural credits law is to be
Of service it must be SO in en-
abling the farmer to obtain his
loan at rate of interest soma
what lower than he would pay
otherwise. Interest rates, as a
rule are higher in Montana and
Wyoming and it is believed that
they average higher in South Da-
kOta than i'm North Dakota. Rates
are higher in this state than in
Minnesota, and still lower rates
prevail farther east. The diff
ference is due chiefly to the rela-
tive age of settlement, and to the
popular understanding of the sta
bility of conditions in the state.
1t is obviously to the advantage
of the North Dakota borrower 20
he grouped with the borrowers OF
states where rates are lower
than in his own, and there is
good reason to believe that The
mere grouping Of North Dakota
with the other states now includ-
ed in this state and to induce in
terest rates, not only on loans
through the rural credit banks,
but on loans of all kinds. This
arrangement was urged upon the
Board by Grand Forks represen-
tatives who attended the hear
'ngs, and the wisdom of this at
..'tude has been commended by the
ssoard.

One of the best evidences of
prosperity throughout the state
is the fact that very seldom does
one see a mortgage foreclosure
notice published. A few years
ago the newspapers were filled
with these notices while today
they are nearly as scarse as con-
test notices and notices of final
proof. In Ward county, a few
years ago, one employee was kept
busy at the sheriff's office attend
ing to matters pertaining to fore
closure of mortgages. Today
there is scarcely any work of this
nature. The farmers and other
business men of the state have
either been able to payup their
mortgages or they are whiting
them down in satisfactory man
ner.

LARGEST FARM IN WORLD,
TO BE CUT UP

The famous Dalrymple farm in
Trail and Cass counties, North
Dakota. said to be the largest in
the world and known wherever
agriculture on a mammoth scale
is taught or talked of, is to dis
appear. That which remains of
the great holdings of Oliver Dairy
mple in his day the greatest farm
err in the world, which still COM
prises $4,000 acres, is to be cut
up into about 100 small farms OF
100 acres to 800 acres, it was an
nounced in Minneapolis yester-
day.
The seed. that is all ready in
the Dalrymple seedhouses on the
farm for the 1917 crop, will go in
to the. ground this year, for the
land is fall olowed and as ready as
can he to this time, for the spring
planting. But when the 1917
crop is taken off the land, that
will be the end of the Dalrymole
farm.
Building to Dot Land
New holding, generous enough
in area as farms are measured iii
the east. but tiny in comparison
with the parent farm, will be laid
out. Where one may stand next
harvest time, in an automobile, in
a wheat field, and let the eye
range in every direction across
waving grain that dips and rises
again with the breeze and that
makes great pillows of golden
light when the strong wind strik-
es across it, all will be changed
thereafter.
There will be farmhouses and
farm buildings in every direc-
tion. as the new small farms are
taken up, where now in winter
time, there is a vast unbroken
tract that to the .traveler by rail
or along country road suggests
an uninhabited country.
Nearby Cities Pleased
Casselton, Valley City, Fargo,
and other prosperous North Da-
kota towns will be glad TO see the
big farm broken up. Time was
when these bonanza farms were
a great asset and the publicity
that their successful operation
gave to the northwest at q time
when many people supposed grain
could not probably be raised thai
far north. was worth millions

APPROVES FRAIzEN,s IDEA

Governor FraZler's decision to
dispense with the usual inaugural
ball will meet with approval gen.
orally. 1t has served solely as
on oh-be-ioyful occasion for the
Bismarckites and the few who
have money and the buds to travel
there. Frazier's statement that
the frivolities are to be cut out
during his administration listens
good to the voters. If the incom
ing legislature will cut out the
CAB and horseplay, cutting down
the session to about a month, it.
will be further cause for congrat-,
ulating the farmers of the state
in taking hand in the important
business of politics.-ParshalR

sibilities. 1t has given to the
doctrine Of State rights a new
force and new direction. The
Webb-kenyon law represents the
first instance since the Fugitive
Slave Law in which the States
have appealed to the Federal au-
thority for assistance in main
tanning their local legislation,
it will not he the last. 1t is plain
that the relationship between the
Stale authority and Federal auth
GRITTY has entered upon a new
epoch.

There was made from the 75.-

farms that were of such size that
each was remarkable in itself.
But the Dalrymple farm was the
largest of any and after break
ing 10000 acres in 1876, Mr..
Dalrymple continued extending
util at one time he had in excess
of $4,000 acres under cultivation.
Wide Attention Attracted
Visitors from every part of the
United States and many froln
abroad came to the farm, at har..
vest time to see the wheat. Writ
ers for eastern publications came
to view and describe the farm.
Many columns were written in
magazines and eastern periodic
ais of the scale on which opera
tions were conducted. The ro-
nance Of the bonanza farmer was
written and rewritten
For 25 consecutive years MOTH
ing but wheat was raised on the
Dalrymple farm. But for some
years past, crop rotation has been
followed and the farm has pro
duced vast quantities of flax, rye,
oats, millet and other crops in
the process of resting and restor-
ing the soil and every year a por-
ton has been laid in summer fall
low.
Handed Down to Sons
Oliver Dalrymple, his name
known in England, lrra,.ce and
Germany, himself at St. Paul re-
sident in the winter time and a
practical farmer on the land in
spring, summer and harvest time,
died in 1908. There was some
cutting off of parcels of land be-
fore and after his death, but even
after that had been done, his two
sons, William Dalrymple of the
Chamber of Commerce, Minnea-
polls, and j. S. Dalrymole, whose
address for nine months of the
year is Casselton, Cass County, Nj,
d., but who lives three months in
Minneapolis in the winter time,
came into possession of nearly
$4,000 acres. Part of this
is in Trail but the major portion
lies in Cass county.

ed to give up operating the farm

STATE SENATE IS STARTLED
BY EXECUTIVE ACT

Bismarck, N. D.,-Governor
Lynn j. Frazier this afternoon de-
livered a broadside when he sent
the senate in a sealed message
the names of five new members of
the state board of regents.
The present state board of re-
gents claims that the terms of
only two of the members expire
at the present time.
The governor it is said upo I
the advice of the attorney gener-
al. named five OH the ground that
the appointments ofthe members
of the present board we're not leg
al. 1t is said that attorney ge l.
eral holds that the appointments
were not legal because made be-
fore the act providing for the
state board of regents was pass
ed.
Bombshell In Senate
Despite the fact that the gov
ernor's appointments were seat
to the senate in sealed message
and that the senate acted upon
them i'm executive session, the
action caused so much surprise
that the matter leaked out and the
news spread very rapidly.
The members of the present
board of regents are Lewis f.
Crawford of Sentinel Butte. pre-
sldent; Frank White of Valley
City, vice president: DIR. l.. J. d.
TAYLOR of Grand Forks; Emil
Skow of Bowman and J. 4. Bow
er of Leonard. The members of
the present hoard hold that Pre-
sldent Crawford was appointed
for term extending to 1924 and
that the next two named hold un-
Til 1919. The last two members
terms expire this year.
The law provides that The ap-
continents must be made by the
governor before January is 81

An EpooH-mAklne DECISION

Inc United States Supreme
Court yesterday put double set
of teeth into the Prohibition laws
of all the dry States.
In affirming the constitutional
lty of the Webb-Kenyon act the
court took the longest step that
has yet been taken to make Pro-
hibition really prohibit. Tins
act is designed to prevent the shio
ment Of liquor from non-prohibi-
ton states into Prohibition States
ard in sustaining it the court
has cut off the bootlegger from
his base of supplies. Federal
authority now supplements state
authority in the enforcement of
prohibitory legislation.
The Chief Justice himself took
occasion to emphasize the sweep
ing nature of the courts decision.
by saying:
1.-The attracting power of
Government over liquor is settled
There was no intention of Con-
gress to forbid individual use of
liquor. The purpose of the act
was to cut out by the roots the
practice of permitting violation
of State liquor laws. We can
have no doubt that Congress has
complete authority to prevent
paralyzing of State authority.
AS for the power of the State
over the manufacture, sale and
use of liquor, that is plenty, aad
the court also affirmed the vail
dity of the West Virginia amend
ment which prohibits citizens of
that State from receiving liquor
for their own personal use from
carriers engaged in interstate
commerce. Thus the States may
make their Prohibition laws as
drastic as they please and The
power Of the Federal Govern
ment over interstate commerce
will be employed to assist them.
This decision of the United
States Supreme Court will create
more CONSERVATION in MANY of
the Prohibition States than any,
