TO KEEP STORAGE
BATTERIES FROM FREEZING

Storage batteries can withstand in
creasingly low temperature if they are
kept we'll charged. A. R. Nottingham
of the N. D. Agricultural College
states that the temperature below
which such batteries as are used in
automobiles will freeze, are about as
follows; discharged 13 above; Ia
charged 0; 1-2 charged 3s below, and
3-4 charged 60 below. This shows the
need Of keeping the battery charged
in cold weather. If the car is used for
short trips and the starter is used,
the battery will run down, so in such
cases it is often advisable to not use
the self starter. On long trips where
the motor is not started often, the
starter can be used as there will be
time for the battery to become re-
charged. Low temperatures also re-
duce the capacity of the battery and
make the engine harder to start, 50
that under such conditions the battery
discharges RAPIDLY when used in
starting an engine. s5ssi..ss.sss .s.ss,.s.,

LIVE STOCK TERMS

We often hear livestock terms used
inaccurately, even among the very
best OF livestock men, Sometimes it
is thru ignorance of the correct terms.
and agin it may be thru force of habit.
Following are the definitions of var
lous livestock terms, which, tho they
may not seem very important, still are
often confused:
THOROUGHBRED: This term is
applied accurately only to the breed
of running horses eligible to registry
in the General Stud book of England
or affiliated stud books in other
countries.
STANDARDIZED: This term is
applied to distinct breed of Aneri-
can light horses eligible to registry in
the American Trotting Register. These
may be either trotters or PAGERS.
PURE-BRED: A pure bred animal
is one of pure breeding whose parents
are both pure-breds of the same breed.
SCRUBS: A scrub is an animal Of
mixed or no breeding showing no deI-
mite type or markings.
GRADE: A grade is an offspring re-
sulting from mating pure-bred with
a scrub; pure-bred with grade; or
mating animals not pure-bred but hav-
ing close pure-bred ancestors.
CROSSBRED: A crossbred is an
offspring of purebred animals of diff
ferent breeds but Of the same species.
IN-BREEDING: In-breeding is the
introduction of related blood-lines IN
excess of so per cent.
LINE-BREEDING: Line-breed'ng
Is introducing less than so per cent
of related blood -lines.-C. B. Aamodt'

CONVICTION
WAS UNFAIR
INJUSTICE CHARGED, REQUEST
FOR NEW TRIAL OF FARGO
BANK PRESIDENT

Bitter hostility and prejudice on the
part Of the crowd attending the trial
of President H. j. Hagen of the Scan
dinavian-American, Bank which influ-
enced the jury, gross misconduct in
the prosecution Of the case by Judge
w. S. Lauder and Albert E. Sheets.
Jr., and the misdirection of the jury
in matters Of law were charged in af-
fidavits presented before Judge M. J.
Englert at Fargo Friday asking for
new trial.
Mr.. Hagen was declared guilty by
jury Thursday of exhibiting a false
bank statement to bank examiner
following trial lasting nine days.
Following the application for a new
trial Judge Englert granted a stay of
execution until the application is ar
gued January Is.
Concerning the verdict, James Man.
ahan Of st. Paul, council for the de-
fence, stated Thursday:
This verdict is a travestv on ius-
t1ce and shows what men will blindlv
Go under the lash of passion and pre-
Judlce. There is not in the whole rec
ora of the case any testimony sus-
tanning in the slightest degree this
! conviction.
Ihe case never should have been
submitted to the jury on the proof
taken, but unfortunately under the
laws OF North Dakota trial Judge
mas no power to dismiss a criminal
I case or direct verdict no matter how
ciear the evidence of innocence NAV
be. This is clear case of conviction
by political prejudice and not proof
of guilt. p-0-
Inc attorneys appointed and hired
! by the attorney general to prosecute
repeatedly and successfully sought to
create prejudice against Mr.. Hagen
because of his Nonpartisan League
association. Many errors were commit
ted. The verdict should be set aside on
many grounds.
The conduct of the trial by tie
state was unfair from the bepjnn,r.
and the surroundings Of the iurv r,-
that their minds were not free to do
justice. The court room was packed
with bitter political enemies of the de-
fendant every day and created an at
mosphere of passion and prejudice in
which it was impossible to have, a fair
trial.
IF the trial court refuses to set this
verdict aside, the case will be taken
at once to the Supreme Court"

fine treat for Bottineau County.
Last spring the Forestry State Nor

North Dakota for a lyceum course of
four numbers. The University of
North Dakota, along with the Univer-
sity Of Minnesota and other large in

grade talent and handles this business
for US without profit. We were there
fore able to secure an unusual course
at prices only slightly higher than

The four numbers engaged were:

The Fighting Americans, male
quartet of returned heroes of the
Great War;
Montaville Flowers, the greatest of
all the lyceum readers and lecturers,
for many years past, the President of
the International Lyceum Association
The Little Playhouse Company, con-
sisting of five artists from Cincinnati.
We have cancelled the date given us
for Mr.. Flowers, much to our regret
as he would have given US number
that would never be forgotten by the
audience, but January was the date
set and the School feels that one num-
ber during the Christmas vacation
period is one too many and that two
should not be permitted. Mr.. Flowers
would not permit the University Elk.

STATE TAX CUT
Is PER CENT
LEAGUE LEGISLATORS ALSO TO
REDUCE LOCAL TAXES TO
LEGAL LIMIT

A reduction in taxes totalling $741,-
600 and amounting to cut of this
years taxes CT Is per cent will be
made by the Nonpartisan League leg
islators as the result Of a bill that was
introduced into the house Saturday.
The rapid success of the newly es-
tablished state departments and indus
tries has made this cut possible. The
partial crop failures in the state have
made it advisable to reduce the taxes
to the lowest possible figure.
Among the new state enterprises
that have become self-supporting in
an unexpectedly short time are the
Bank of North Dakota, which is now
earning profits, instead of being a
drain; the workmen's compensation
bureau which is now self-supporting;
the state flour mill, which earned
$2,349.02 over all expenses the first
26 days of operation; the state hail in
surance department., which collected
and will disburse at a cost of $74 $685.
27, $3,419,924.42; and other depart
ments. Appropriations made for start
ing these departments and industries
can now be returned.
The new law will be put into effect
according to the provisions of the bill
by remitting rs cents Of the amount
Of state taxes due from each taxpayer
for the year 1919.
Reduce Budget $741,O00
Accompanying the bill reducing the
taxes which was introduced thru the
delayed bills committee of the house
were three other measures cutting
down departmental and institutional
appropriations $191,50O. These bills
cut the state highway commission ap-
preparation $4,000, the feeble minded
school appropriation $82,500 and the
state reform school appropriation
500, 900. Amendments were also Of
fered to house bill A, the original
budget revision bill, which had pro.
posed a cut of $4,000 in four depart.
ments, making still further reductions
by an additional $368,00O.
The total of all reduction now pro
posed by bills before assembly i!
$741, 500.
To Keep Taxes Down
= Not. oliy do the, farmer legislator:
intend to reduce state taxes, now thai
the last year has demonstrated thai
reduction can be made, but they are
also determined that counties and 10.
cal taxing districts keep within thei1
legal bounds in this years levy.
A number of the farmer senators
and representatives plan starting
court actions to restrain the collection
of taxes in all districts where the linn
it's have been exceeded by county ant
local officials with the direct purpos,
of attempting to discredit the Non
partisan league state administration.
One instance is cited by representa-
tives from Bowman county where il
one school district the legal amour
that could be raised for this year wa
$4,000 but the local taxing officer
authorized a levy of S51, 900. The limi
of increase for local taxes over 1911
is 10 per cent for general purpose
and 20 per cent for school and roat
purposes.
