treasury is not affected by the appoint
mrnt. The work has been done until
this time by Commissioner Brown.

ing Case of Combining
City Exchanges.

Bismarck, NJ. D.. Jan. 10.-After
devoting the greater part of a day to
hearing evidence in the petition Of
Grand Forks citizens Tor a physical
connection between the Tri- State and
Northwestern telephone exchange in
their city and for better service and
lower rates, the railway commission
has taken the matter under advise
ment, requesting that both parties to
the controversy submit briefs upon
which the merits of the case will be
finally. determined. There was no oral
yesterday. Attorney General
LANCER, assisted by Tax Commission
err Packard and George A. Bangs, city
attorney of Grand Forks, represented
the petitioners. Ed Prendergast, gen.
eral counsel for the Northwestern
Telephone Co., with a number Of COM
pany officials appeared for the de-
PENDANT corporation. Guy H. Spratt
of Omaha, general superintendent Of
the Northwestern; L. L. Richardson
Of Fargo, superintendent Of the North
Dakota independent Telephone Co.,
and L.. Caswell. local manager for
North Dakota, were among the Off
Gals here.
1t was established at the hearing
that the Tri-State telephone exchange
passed out iof existence last August,
but that the. people Of Grand Forks
have not yet secured the benefit of a
single, unified phone system, but
must, If they wish complete service,

The railway commission promptly
disposed of a contention on the part
Of the defendants that it had no juris-
diction in matters involving the regu-

M'C0VERN FOR
AMENDMENT OF
i. GRAIN LAWS
Deputy Inspector Would
Make Several Changes in
State Grain Laws. I

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 10.-J. A.
McGoVern, deputy state grain inspec-
tor, is here lobbying for an amend
ment in the North Dakota grain in
spection law which will. remove the
supervision Of this department from
the state railway commission and
place the inspection bureau under the
control of the state grain department
at Fargo, with DR.. F.. F.. I4add, presi-
dent of the state agricultural college,
state chemist and state grain inspec-
tor, as the sole head of the service.
Deputy McGovern does not believe
that divided authority works for the
success of the inspection department,
A similar effort to amend the law
was made at the special session in
1918, but it was defeated
Deputy McGovern is also advocat-
ing the creation of a state inspector
of weights and measures, with the
adoption of a state schedule of stand
ards. The inspection Of weights and
measures now is left in the hands OF
the sheriff in each county, says Mr..
McGovern, and he does not believe
the work is being done so efficiently
as it could be through an expert state
inspection, ... .. ..'.i

Helena, Mont. Jan. 10.-Attorney
General s. c. Ford has recommended

enforcement Of the prohibition act.
He says:
"1t is my belief that a vigorous
campaign from the beginning against
the bootlegger and blindpigger will
result in untold good. 1t is Of the ut
most importance hat this class Of
people be given to understand that
the law is to be enforced and that
they cannot carry on their business in
this state. ~,
"a half hearted attempt at enforce
ment will meal that the state will Be
over-run with blind pigs and the pro-

FARM CENTERS
POSSIBILITY
IN CANADA
Triangular Plots, Radiating
From Villages, Being
Considered.

Ottawa. Canada, Jan. 10.-Farm
cente.s with the homes Of the farmers
clustered in a village and triangular
farms radiating from it, are just now
interesting Canadian economists and
students of rural community life.
The novel plan is to be given q test
under the new land laws which will
throw open to settlement every acre
of uncultivated land in Canada and
are expected to result in an. unprece-
denied rush of immigrants.
The homes Of twenty-four farmers
under this new scheme are to be
T~wenty-four triangular farms Of so
acres each will radiate from this viii
lage. Around this central group Of
farms, eight similar groups will be ar
ranged, each containing a central
village of ten farm houses with ten
triangular farms radiating from
them. The plan gives eight villages
of ten farm houses, each distributed
one and a half miles from the central
village.
Villages Of farmers are customary
in Russia and other European coun-
tries. But the village farmers Of
Europe are tenants of land owned by
some great landlord. Often the land

village. The Canadian plan con-
templates each farmer as the owner
of his own land and living directly
upon it.
The plan is not approved by all.
Some view it as impracticable. They
say the circular general scheme and
the triangular farms c~ontravene all
traditional rules Of subdividing land
and. would necessitate the abandon
ment of the rectangular method of
districting. This is true, Of curse,
but the advocates.of the plan declare
the advantages that would accrue to
the farmer from community life would
make abandonment of the old method
worth while. Electric lights, heating.
water supply and drainage would be
possible for all the homes under COM
munity ownership. Only 8 1-2 miles
of roads would be required to connect
all the outlying villages with the par
ent community. against "a miles that
would be- necessary under the old
rectangular plan and the buying Of
supplies and marketing Of products
might eventually be put on a CO.
operative basis.
