N. o. Gauslow. formerly in busi-
ness here, but who is now farming
south Of Columbus, was in the city

raise one 5of the biggest crops in the
history of the country, and were
snrtting IN AZ large an acreage as

RULES LIEN CLAUSE SOUND

Williston, April II. - Judge
Frank Fisk Of the district court to-
day handed down a decision hold
ing that the prior lien clause of the
seed and feed act is constitutional
The case will be appealed immei-
lately and will be heard by the su-
preme court April 18th.
The case was brought by the
Federal Land Bank to test the val
idity of the priority clause. If
the supreme court upholds the rul-
ing Of the lower court, the farmer,
in order to obtain any relief from
the Federal Land Bank, must fur
nish bond in addition to a first
mortgage on their land before they
can avail themselves of the low in
terest rates that would otherwise
be obtainable, was it not for the ap-
plicatiOn of the new NOnpartisan
seed and feed grain act.

sTENs0N PULLS THE
COURTS WHISPERS

Judge M. G.. Miller of Coteau,
who probably spends more time In
the interests Of the state than any
ether justice of the peace in the
s ate, was in the city on Thursday
Of last week, and honored this Of
ii Q with very pleasant call.
Among other things he informed US
that some weeks ago at the G. I.
Porter sale at Coteau and in the
presence OF several hundred people
cne Martin Stenson of Clayton
township did wilfully and malicious
IL and with malice aforethought and
E gainst the peace and dignity of the
state of North Dakota and as q dis
respect to the courts of the United
States, deliberately pull Judge Mil
ler's judicial whiskers and, tear his
judicial pants; that the crowd pres
cnt almost laughed itself sick dur
Ing said performance; that said act
was no joke to Judge Miller nor to
the courts of the United States
which should be respected, and for
that reason the said judge did give
the said Mr.. Stenson one of the
earnest callings down ever heard
il Coteau. Mr.. Miller also inform
{ r US that his face on which the
said whiskers had been growing for
many years was sore for several
Gays after the said abuse they re-
c;ived. While Mr.. Miller could
hnye easily caused, the arrest Of
lIr. Stenson.s and seen to it that he
was given at least 20 years in soli-
tary confinement, he is not bent on
r.venge, but instead told US that he
had already forgiven Martin, pro-
Y iding the, facts in the case were
published in The Tribune so all the
aople would know what horri-
hle crime it was to show disrespect
to the courts of the United States.
rs Mr.. Stenson is a very good friend
of The Tribune and we would not
like to see him go over the road
until after the fall election, we con-
sented to give the facts in this case
il order to save his hide for the
resent. We will also warn him
that Judge Miller in his official
{ opacity is entitled to more respect
than any other person in the vii
! :ge of Coteau, and should be look
el up to by all persons who come
within his Jurisdiction. We will.
Glso warn Mr.. Stenson that he ran
an awful risk when he pulled the
{ curtis whiskers, and that he can
,nsider himself very lucky to get
CT as easy as he did in this in
stance. -

FRENCH WAR CROSSES
Sammies HOnored for Part They
Took In Many Engagements
on Western War Front
in France

More than fifty French war crosses
have hen distributed among the AM
erican troops and along the Chemin

ed in eleven engagements, most of
which were raids against positions
they were holding.
A large number of recipients of the
war cross, some of whom are natives
of Maine, have been holding a certain
place against where the enemy's at
tacks were especially strong. These
troops helped the French to break up
the attacks and drive off the Germans.
Some Of the men decorated distin-

ments in No Mans Land. The names
of only eight of the recipients of the
medals, all Of whom are members of
the same company, have become

SERIOUS COLLISION

Francis f. Totten of Picher, Okla,
head Welder for the o. X. Company
Of that city, coming into Baxter
Springs driving a Ford car, collided
with a truck from the Joplin Bottling
Works going in the opposite direction,
at point on highway one and a
mali miles southwest of town, at
about $3.50 am Tuesday and sustained
broken nose and double fracture
to his right leg. Mr.. Totten claims
the truck turned to the wrong side
of the road and rs he was on his
proper side and running at a fairly
rapid gate, it was impossible for him
to avoid the heavy truck. The car
he was driving had one Of the front
wheels torn off and in the mixup Mr..
Totten received the injuries above de-
scribed. He was brot into town and
taken to the Baxter Springs hospital
where he is receiving the best of care,
the fractures having been reduced by
DR.. Mccormick and assistants and
the patient is resting as easily as the
seriousness of his case will permit.
He is a young man and that is greatly
in his favor as the bones will knit
more readily than for an elderly
person.

The American Indian-at least
those in this section of country-are
taking to civilized ways like a duck
takes to water. Some of them have
fine big automobiles, the biggest
made, others have the finest houses
and furniture money can buy and still
others wear the finest and most ex-
pensive and latest styles in clothing,
millinery, shoes and jewelry. This is
certainly a progressive age, and the
original American is keeping up with
the procession.

MISSOURI SENATORS
SHOULD Be IN1ERNED
Trenton Man Speaking in Kan
sas City ROasts Stone and
Reed to a Turn and Kicks
On Boss Rule

Missouri has no reason to be proud
Of It's senators, William J. Stone and
James A. Reed, and they should be
interned along with Senator La Fol-
lette, Tom N. Whitten Of Trenton,
Mo-, said to the Westminster Forum
audience in Kansas City Sunday night
in concluding an address on "The
Trenton Idea"
"You are moral towards to. continue
such men as your senators. You
should be red-blooded enough to go to
the polls and pick out good men for
office, no matter on which ticket their
names appear" said Mr.. Witten.
"You are not proud Of such men, and
am not. l know Missouri is not.
Yet you 60 on letting the bosses whip
you into line to vote on tickets in
which you had no part in the making
thereof. You have a hundred good
men for every three political crooks in
Kansas City, yet you continue to let
the three tell you how to vote and
make for you the government under
which you and your children must
live"
Mr.. Witten declared Kansas City
should have home rule, and the coun-
try was willing to help bestow it if
the better element in Kansas City
should do the ruling instead of con-
tinuing in power-and thereby max
ing stronger that power-of the bos-
ses who now control civic affairs.
"The Trenton Idea," as defined by
Mr.. Witten, is the idea of getting ac-
quainted with ones neighbor and in
helping him over the rough places
getting to like him. With this tie be-
tween neighbors, the community spir-
it accomplishes much more than is
otherwise possible, he declared.
1t is not generally known, Mr.. Wit
ten said, that Kansas City man is
largely responsible for the "idea" Of
which Trenton boasts. A number Of
years ago, NJ. V. Watson, then presi-
dent of the Commercial Club, made u
speech in Trenton and asked the pop
ulation and size of the town.
"That's all wrong" he said, when
told the town had about two thousand
population and about two square miles
of territory. ut should be as large
and as pOpulous as your trade terri
tory"
After the Watson address, Trenton
acted on the suggestion, and the idea
kept on growing until it made of
Trenton and Grundy county town
and county noted throughout the
state for the good feeling prevailing
and the good things accomplished.

The dust has been the worst ever
on the streets for the past few days,
while the winds have been so high.
Besides the inconvenience and dis
comfort to everyone, the damage to
merchandise must have been exten-

Of paving in a little while. On &C
count of the tOrn-up condition Of the

yet been put on the job; but now that
the leveler has ben used there iS no
reason why we should not have the
