fortune has dealt more kindly with us
all this year OF grace.
Eldorado folks are not only to be
congratulated on the Importance and
venerability of their Farmers Insti-
auto, but also because of the number
of grand old trees which shade and
beautify their town. Until the intro
duction of ragtime and monographs,
'sWoodman, Spare That Tree" was
sung in every home; and even now
it is second favorite among songs with
those old enough to both sing and
to love trees.

ed by both music and song by the
school orchestra and the glee club,
the first being composed of young
men, the latter of high school young
ladies.
An Interesting Program.
A farmers institute program is de-
signed primarily. to instruct, rather
than to entertain, but well balanced
program does both. Some speakers
can make the most commonplace,
everyday subject interesting, and be
cause that is true are in demand. The
program at Eldorado was both instruc.

country folks alike. and this being the
| rule, institute days are always red-let
ter-days in Monroe township.

orchestra, Mr.. J. S. Brigham, Of Bowl

Good Things to Eat.
One of the K. P. halls on the upper

provided. Think of real chicken din
ner, with vast assortment of other
good things, and delicious coffee, all
for 35 cents. One of the regrets OF
our eventful life will be the fact that
we just couldn't stay to sample that
dinner on Saturday, or that we didn't
start away with piece or two of pie
in each hand, as the ladies suggested

The reason this famous root and herb
remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, was so successful in Miss
Kelly's case was because it went to the
root of her trouble, restored her to q

vided reports, signed by Republicans
as well as Democrats Of the commit
tee, were made to the house. The
tax bill does not meet with the APP
proval of some representatives be-
cause of the salaries it provides. and
there have been objections to giving
to the state board of tax commission
ers control over local levies and as
sessments.
Oppose Highway Bill
Opposition to the highway bill is
expected to develop along the line OF
objection to the provision that motor
vehicle license fees, amounting TO
more than s1,500.000 annually, would
be available for the commissions funds
instead Of being distributed among
the ninety-two counties of the state
as at present.

There are 1000 automobiles in

DEMANDS VOTE DATA
DAKOTA SUPREME COURT ASKED
WOR WRIT IN CASE OF NOM
PARTY AMENDMENT

! Bismarck, N. d., Dec.31.-On Janu
ary IA, the state canvassing board
must show cause to the North Da
kcta supreme court why writ OF
certiori should not be issued ordering
I the canvessers, as a body and as in
ld1iyiduals ,to produce; all records and nd
proceedings in connection with their
recent action in declaring that the
,Nonpartisan league amendment pro.
gram was passed at the November
election.
Theodore G. Nelson, manager of the
Independent Voters association, has
petitioned for a writ. Great interest
is taken in the proceedings as five Of
the amendments were declared adopt
ed, despite the fact that they did not
receive majority of all votes cast.
The canvassing board held that a
majority Of votes cast for each
amendment was sufficient. Secretary
OF State Thomas Hall, Lacquer, and
State Treasurer John Steen, an in
dependent, joined in a majority re
pert holding that only the two amend
ments which received majority of all
the votes cast were carried.
The petitioners recite that the
league majority "in declaring, that
the five proposed amendments were
carried and adopted, exceeded its au-
thority and acts Illegally"
Four members Of the supreme court
were elected by the Nonpartisan
league. They are Associate Justices
Luther E. Birdzell, R. H. Grace, J. e.
Robinson and H. A. Bronson. Associ-
ate Justice Robinson, although
Lacquer, has already publicly ex-
pressed his opinion as to the action
cf the state canvassing board, agree
ing with the stand taken by Secretary
of State Hall.
The five amendments which are at
issue relate to public ownership of
industries, removing the limit from
public Indebtedness, the manner of
adopting constitutional amendments
to taxation, authorizing the legisla-
ture to- exempt from taxation all per-
scnal property, including improve
nents on lands, and to the manner in
Which emergency measures may be
given immediate effect. These five
amendments embody the changes
which the league considers most vital
to the success Of it's economic pro-
gram, and all of them received less
than majority of all the votes cast
