Farmers Asked
To Report Needs

Farmers Of the state are asked to
make known as soon as possible to
the county agents or to the govern
ment labor Office in Fargo the
amount Of help that will be needed
during the haying, harvesting and
threshing.
We are compiling a list Of the
amount OF help that viii be needed
in each county Of the state and de-
sire TO have the information by the
end of the month" said William
English, the government labor eX-
aminer this morning.
During the summer the govern
ment will establish branch offices at
Bismarck, Grand Forks and Minot.
and ii is probable that these offices
will be opened within month. With
a list compiled Of the help needed in
the various districts, Mr.. English
states that there will be considerable
saving in transportation charges
because the Fargo, Bismarck,
Grand Forks or MinOt nlifce VIII
supply the help needed in their dis
tricts and which will make unneces-
sary the sending of labor out tot dis
tant places in North Dakota from
the Fargo office
According to the government labor
examiner help is not so plentiful now
as it was earlier in the season. but
there is enough to III the ordinary
calls at this time Of the year.

Supreme Court
Decisions
From Eddy County

The Farmers Grain & Milling Co.,
a corporation, plaintiff and appellant,
VS.. j. '. n. Sundberg, and the Title
Guaranty & Surety Co., a corporation,
defendants and respondents.
Syllabus: To secure a prior debt
plaintiff took from his insolvent
debtor a mortgage for $500 on a quar-
ter section of land. 1t was a third
mortgage and it did not give the post
office Of the mortgage. Seven months
after default had been made in plain
tiff's mortgage, the year of redemp-
ton expired on a foreclosure of the
second mortgage.
The plaintiff brings this action to
recover frOm the register of deeds the
amount of it's mortgage with interest
because the register failed to mail to
it's postoffice or the pOstoffice nearest
the land, a copy of the foreclosure
notice.
Held, that there is no evidence or
presumption that the register knew
the postofflCe of the plaintiff or that
copy of the notice mailed to the
posoffiCe nearest the land would have
been forwarded to the plaintin, and
that it's own gross negligence was the
real and proXimate cause of its loss.

BRINTON FREE
UNDER A BOND
Accused Consumers, Store
Managers Case Goes
to Grand Jury,

]. W. Brinton. general manager Of
the Consumers United Stores COM
pany and personal representative Of
A. O. Townley, president Of the Ma
tional Nonpartisan league, is free to-
day under $1,000 bail, required by U.
S. Commissioner John G. Pfeffer, of
Fargo, whom Brinton was arraigned

YOU ARE INVITED TO COME IN
ON EQUAL FOOTING WITH THE
PROMOTERS,

We are not benefited ONE CENT
over you at any time, now or later.
We are only anxious to promote the
Peoples Theater company for one
reason and that is because we know
that there are unlimited possibilities
in this field and no risk for ourselves
or for those who avail themselves of
this opportunity to join us.
Never before had a small investor
an opportunity to buy stock in a COR
poration for the same money as the
promoters. Never before have any
promoters offered the small investor
TO come in befoTN all officers had been
elected and before they had incor-
porated. This is your opportunity.
No cash is required before we are
ready to incorporate.
An investment in the Peoples The
alter company of Fargo, is not a
speculation. 1t is an investment
without risk.
A farmer takes a chance on crop.
If he has a crop failure, he loses the
dividend he is entitled to and all his
well earned wages besides. II he
owns the farm we have heard him
say: Well, will have to make it up
next year.
The people who invest in the
Peoples Theater company take a
chance on getting a crowd. If their
manager fails to do this, of course
they lose the dividend like the good
farmer did, but not their wages, so 1t
is safer to invest in the Peoples The
alter company than to even invest in
a farm and the possibilities of earn
ing power are far greater in a well
run theater than in any other bust
ness, 1t is cash business and there
fore the stockholders can have
statement on demand. The banks bal
ance will always tell you how it
stands.
You will have full security for the
money invested in property and we
are safe to say, like the optimistic
farmer said, that I did not get any
crop this year, but I still have my
farm and can make it next year. We
will own all our theaters.
Not up to this day, have heard
Of a theater corporation that had
failure, but I know of many who
have earned millions in the business
and that is what we will do, and don't
you fool yourself. Come in at once
and you will be able to choose your
own men for the important offices Of
the Peoples Theater company. You
will choose your own bylaws and be
among the incorporators. You will
be in on the ground floor on the same
basis as ourselves.
