POLK COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS
NOW MEETING
Many Interesting Items to
be Considered by Polk
County Board. :.

Crookston, Mimi, Jan. 8.-The
county commissioners are in. session
at the court house. Action was taken
establishing county ditch number 1875,
between Lowell and Fisher townships,
south of the German church, east of
Fisher. This ditch, three-quarters of
a mile long was petitioned for by Ferd
Ross and others. but is opposed by
the Vented brothers and quite a con-
troversy has developed over the
proposition, the opposers claiming
that it will damage their land. They
say that exceptions will be taken to
the commissioners action and the
court will be asked to decide.
A petition from Mr.. Andrew and
Levi STEVENSON is before the board
to detach certain lands from the viii
lage Of Climax. There is also consid-
cradle opposition to this and the COM
missioners have not yet taken action.
Bids for the contract for printing
commissioners proceedings and other
legal matters have been opened.
There are four bids, Fosston Thirteen
Towns. Mcintosh Times. Erskine
Echo, Fertile Journal. East Grand
Forks Record, Winger Enterprise,
Gully Advance, Crookston Daily and
Weekly Times have put in a ~consoli-
dated bid. The Crookston Press and
the Crookston Daily and Weekly
Times have put in three individual
bids.
The grand jury is working as usual
behind closed doors and very careful
that nothing leaks out. Some indict-
ments have been found but are not
yet ready for public information.

ALLOW YOUNG
LADY'S CLAIM
Associate Justice Aairms
Verdict of Jury to Re
munerate Girl.

Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. S.-while a
parent may naturally be presumed to
be welcome in the, home of a son or
.or a child entitled to the
hospitality Of it's parents home, there
Is reason in all things, rules Associ-
ate Justice j. N. Robinson in q con-
curing opinion upholding the judg-
ment of the supreme court in affirm
ing a verdict for $1,700 recovered in
the Renville district court by Matilda
Bergerson for the care Of her mother.
Carrie Mattern, during the last years
Of the latter's life.
In reviewing the facts, Judge Rob-
inson finds that the evidence shows
that for two years and four months
Mrs. Bergerson gave her eighty-year-
old mother the care of an infant, lift
ing her in and out of bed, clothing her
and nursing her. Following her
mothers death, Mrs. Bergerson pre-
sented a claim Of $4,000 in payment
for services against Mrs. Matterh's
estate. The administrator, Ole Mat
tern, refused payment. Mrs. Berger
son brought suit in the Renville dis
trict court, and the jury awarded. her
a verdict Of $1.700. Mattern, as ad-
ministrato:, then appealed to the su-
been no express contract and that
Mrs. Mattern had received from her
daughter only the care and hospitality
which is due any parent from its
child.
Judge Robinson finds from the evil
dence that the care given Mrs. Mat
tern was by no means the ordinary
hospitality which a child would ex-
tend a parent but that the services
were such as mo trained nurse would
have performed for less than $40 OF
$25 a day"
Custom makes the law. Reason il
the oul of the law, Inc when the
reason of the law ceases so does the
law ITSELF" says the associate justice
in handing down his opinion.

railway commission explains that a
phone to phone call/is n In which
the party calling gives the number Of
a certain phone with which he desires
to be connected in another city, but
does not specify n particular indi-
vidual with whom he wishes to talk;
a person to person call is one in
which the patron calls for a certain

port call is one in which the exchange
at the other end is required to report
back for instructions, or to advise that
the connection can not be made until
cluded in a completed conversation
an additional fee Of Is per cent is
charged. A completed appointment is
one in which the party calling asks
that a connection be made with the
party called at q certain hour, The
report charge of 20 cents is made in
cases where the exchange at the 9TH
err end is unable to locate the party
called, and where no actual converse

In view Of the fact that charges are

OF increasing the basic rate is ques-

~ all of the business in North Dakota

that the actual net increase to the

A Well Known Actress Tells How to
Darker Gray Hair With a Simple
Home Made Mixture.


Joicey Williams, the well known
American actress, who was recently
playing at the Imperial Theatre in St
Louis, Mo-. made the following state
ment about gray hair and how ia
darken It.:
ANYONE can prepare a simple mix
ture at home, at very little cost. that
will darken gray streaked or faded
hair, and make it soft and glossy. To
a half pint of water add l ounce OF
bay rum. a small box of Barbo Com
pound, and \ ounce Of %glycerine,
These ingredients can be bought at
any drug store at very little cost, or
any druggist can put it up for you.
Apply to the hair twice a week until
the desired shade is obtained. This
will make a gray haired person look
20 years younger. This is not a dye,
it does not color the most delicate
scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does
not rub of.

port of an application which has been
made to the federal courts for an in
junction restraining Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson from placing in effect
his new schedule Of long distance tel
ephone tolls. James A. Little, rate ex-
pert with the state railway commits
sion, has prepared a table showing
that under the proposed schedule
station to station service would cost
26 per cent more than at present;
."person-to-person" service would be
increased 51.5 per cent in. cost, and
person-to-person service, plus a. re-
port charge, would be increased IS
cents.
The Burleson schedule is a compli-
Gated affair, embodying all the red
tape which has popularity come to be
associated with every government in
vasion of the public utility field. At
present all the telephone companies
serving North Dakota have fiat rates
for service, and this rate covers all
of the operations necessary to give
adequate service. These rates are
based on two-minute conversations,
n telephone exchanges which have
reported to the state railway commits
sion advise that 80 per cent of their
business consists of two-mfnute talks.
The .Burleson schedule contemplates
nothing less than three-minute con-
