COUNTY SEAT BILL
MAY BEDEFERRED

Bismarck, April 25.-Announce.
ment has been made here that move
ment is on foot to refer to the voters
at the general election in 1920 the
new county seat bill as passed by the
last legislature. The planned refer
endun is in no way connected with
the special referendum election which
is expected to be held in July.
The new county seat bill which was
House Bill 100, provides that in coun-
ties where the courthouse cost less
than $4,000, majority of the voters
may petition a county seat election
every four years on which any town
in the county may become candidate.
The elction is to be decided on a
majority vote instead of two-thirds
vote as under the former law.
Those behind the movement to get
a decision from the voters of the state
two years from now point out that
the new bill does not affect every
county in the state, since about two
thirds of them have court houses cost
ing more than $4,000. About twenty
in all are affected, including Burke,
Renville, Rolette, Nelson, Steele,
Sheridan, Logan, Emmons, Mcintosh,
Mckenzie, Golden Valley, Dunn, Mer-
GER, Oliver, Billings, Sioux, Grant,
Hettinger, Adams, Bowman and Slope.
An effort will be made to get 1000
signers to referendum petition be-
fore May Is. This will arrest the
operation of the law until the next
general election. A committee COM
posed of citizens in each of the coun-
ties affected has selected an execu-
tive committee of five to handle the
circulating of the petitions. The COM
mittee is composed of A. C. Wiper, Of
Bowbells; A. NJ. Limburg, of Fargo;
H. E. Vance, Of Wales; W. H. Wine
man, Of Bowbells, and S. S. Acheson
of Fargo. George H. Phelps, secre-
tary to former Governor Briggs, is
secretary Of the committee MIR. Phelps
is located at Bowbells. ,

that meeting. There were eleven diff
ferent sites proposed and friendly
discussion of the various locations
took place after which the location on
Sixth avenue opposite to the Metho-
dist and Congregational churches own
ed by J. H. Whitcher, was finally de-
cided upon. The lots in question have
frontage of 100 feet on Sixth avenue
and are $50 feet deep and give plenty
of room to build whatever building the
lodge decides upon and at the same
time leave sufficient ground to give a
chance to develop a nice lawn around
the building or fix it up any way it is
decided upon to make the whole affair
artistic. In addition to this there is
an opportunity to get light from all
sides without danger of some other
building being built to shut off the
light or crowding, and last but not
least, the location is an exceptionally
good one and seems to meet with the
general satisfaction Of all. The archi-
tect, Mr.. Mcfarland, will now go
ahead drawing up new plans to fit
the location and the committee in
charge of raising funds will go ahead
on the financial part of the program
Already $4,000 have been subscribed
and only a few members seen and it
is expected that when the whole bunch
of members have been seen the temple
will be an assured thing and Valley
City will soon have one of the finest
lodge homes in the state. There was
great harmony in the meeting last
night and the boys are putting up
lots of enthusiasm. Now. then, alto
gether, let's push it over the top. Who
says Valley City is not coming to the
front,

office force through an examination of

completed the examination compi-
mented the boys on their/go work

of the best in the state and as a con-
sequence the boys are somewhat
puffed up over that statement.

HAIL DEP EPARTMENT
BEING ORGANIZED

lfSC SCepS toward organizing Cne
state hail insurance department for
the operation of the hail insurance
law passed by the last legislature
were taken today by Commissioner Of
Insurance S. A. Olsness. Commits
sioner Olsness spent the day in con-
ference with a number of expert
enced hail insurance adjusters from
various parts of the state, discussing
the problems Of the new law.
The conference resulted in the de-
cision to divide the state into four
sections over which there will be
placed a deputy hail inspector who
will have charge Of corps of local
adjusters appointed at the rate of
about three to each county. The four
deputy inspectors will work under the
direction of Thomas Shee, who has
been appointed manager Of the hail in
surance department.. Mr.. Shee has
been in charge Of what little business
the state hail insurance department
of the state has done since the old law
was placed in operation. Each Of the
four inspectors will be employed from
the period beginning May Is and end
ing about October Is of each year.
Under the present plan the local
adjusters will be so distributed over
the counties that one at least may
be able to reach any part of the ter
ritory assigned to him within a few
hours notice. The local adjusters
will be paid per diem and expences
for their work. Commissioner Olsness
plans to have his four deputy inspec-
tors begin to hold conferences for
local adjusters in various parts of the
state for the purpose of explaining
the provisions of the new law and to
work out a standard form Of proce-
dure in adjusting hail loss claims.
These conferences will take place
between May Is and June 1.
Thus far Commissioner Olsness has
succeeded in securing but two of his
proposed deputy inspectors who are
to have charge of the four sections
of the state. These two men are c. C.
Hoff of Deering, McHenry county,
and John S. Hallstrom of Jamestown.
Mr.. Huff will have charge of the
northwestern division and Mr.. Hall
strom the southwestern division.
The proposed method of dividing
will group the counties as follows:
Northwestern division - Divide,
Williams, Burke, Mountrail, Renville,
Ward, Bottineau, McHenry, Rolette,
Pierce Wells, Eddy and Foster.
Northeastern division = Towner,
Benson, Cavalier, Ramsey, Pembina,
Walsh, Nelson, Grand Forks, Griggs,
Steele and Traill.
Southeastern division-Cass Rich
land, Barnes, Ransom, Sargent,
Stutsman, LaMoure, Dickey, Kidder,
Logan Mcintosh, Sheridan, Mclean,
Burleigh and Emmons.
Southwestern Division = Mercer,
Oliver, Morton, Grant, Sioux, Dunn,
Stark, Hettinger, Adams, Mckenzie,
Golden Valley, Billings, Slope and

OLD RESIDENT
DIED WEDNESDAY

Mr.. Mike Feske, of ZIG Fourth ave.
nue., died about noon Wednesday al
his late residence He was one of the
early pioneer citizens of this county
coming here we are told along about
1873. He was over 80 years of age
The funeral was held this afternoon
from the house at 1870 and from the
German Lutheran church at 2 p. m
N. 0. Holberg had charge of the fu-
neral arrangements. The Times-Rec-
ord would be glad if some of the rela-
tives would send in more detailed
obituary Of the deceased.
The Barnes county executive COM
mittee are very anxious to have a
complete record of men or women who
have worked 500 hours or over for the
Red Cross. In the case Of women who
could not work every day because
there was no work room open for Red
Cross work it is desired that all who
have 400 or more credit hours fill out
questionnaires. Each branch should
have questionnaires on hand and if
there are any persons who are entitled
to make out questionnaires and have
not done so, it, will be appreciated
if you make application for same and
have same forwarded to chapter head
quarters by member of the branch
committee. Many of our workers are
going to wear service badges and
those who decline to send information
will be unfair to themselves if they
do not do SO. It must be understood
that the executive committee is taking
the initiative in this matter and it can
not be constructed as seeking honor or
notoriety to furnish the information
requested.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pinples - bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive Oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.
You will know DR.. Edwards Olive Tab
lets by their olive color. l0c and 25c per
