KEEPING ENGAGEMENT RING
ISN'T APPROVED BY COURTS

The young lady who would cling
to her diamond engagement ring on
breach of promise to marry is not
acting within the law, according to
records at the Office of Judge A. T.
Cole, of the Third judician district.
The old question whether the girl
should return the ring if the engage
ment is broken has bothered many
tender heart. Sometimes the ring
has been returned after the former
sutton has requested it. Other times
the request for the ring by the man
has been refused. Some girls have
returned the ring voluntarily as soon
as the engagement was broken, only
too glad to get rid of the piece of
jewelry.
The Yale Law Journal, devoted to
the usual branches of Anglo-Ameri-
can law and practice and also to
Jurisprudence, legislation and COM
parative law, cites an instance where
the defendant broke an engagement
to marry and the plaintiff brought
action for recovery of the engage
n,ent ring. It was held by the court
that the plaintiff could recover since
there is an implied condition that the
ring shall be returned if the engage
lnent is broken. The court allowed
the plaintiff to recover the specific
article treating the delivery of the
ring either as pledge or as a gift
subject to condition.

Rev. VIM. H. Walker preached in
the Congregational church last night
on "Social Evils and it was a live
subject and no mistake. In his OPEN
ing remarks he stated that Walter
Thomas Mills was acquitted by the
court of sedition and further said that
he could not criticize the court with
out being in contempt but he said:
IF Walter Thomas Mills made loyal
speech in Fargo last July according
to the decision of the court, it was the
first time in thirty odd years that
have been intimately acquainted with
that gentleman that he made loyal
speech. He doesn't make those kind
of speeches." Mr.. Walker launched
a scholarly discussion of the evils of
socialism. He said that. capital had
been exploiting labor but that all cap
italists were not bad. He thought
that capitalists were necessary and
that a large number of them were
honest. He stated that labor was en-
titled to all that was coming to them,
but he further stated that socialism
was the worst thing for labor. It was
too bad that he did not have the time
to finish his discourse on that subject.

Jack Thompson and w. r. Barnes
are perhaps the two most disappointed
men in Valley City, and two mad ones
at the same time. Like everything
else there is a reason for it and a
good one. For the past two or three
mornings these fellows have been get
ting ready to 60 fishing-and it has
rained. This would not be so bad in
itself but they have been getting their
wives out Of bed at unearthly hours
in the morning to fill them up on fod-
der and they have been keeping the
house in turmoil over this proposed
fishing trip. We hope for the peace
of their wives that the weather man
will give them some fine weather and
let them get this fishing trip pulled
off-then all we will have to do is to
listen to their stories after they get
back,

BURGLAR SEASON
IS NEAR AT HAND

Police of the state are making pre-
parations to handle this menace.
The burglar season is at hand.
Porch climbers or second-stOry
men will soon be making their an
nual pilgrimage to the Northwest,
and this city in their path. They are
the most dangerous type of yeggmen.
The porch climber gains entrance
to the home by means of ladders to
the second-story window, and some
plan of operation is laid in advance.
''Should you find a burglar in your
home, do not attack him." says
police officers. Many persons have
been killed by taking such chances.
The prowler is always wideawake, and
! has every advantage. He will shoot
to kill if cornered."
If the prowler is found in the house
at night, talking is a very effective
method Of soaring him away.
"Once prowler finds that someone
in the house is awake, he is pretty
sure to sneak away. Talk and keep
talking, and then get up and turn on
the light. It's ten to one the prowler
will have disappeared"
''The next thing to do is to call the
police. Be calm above all things
when you give your name and adj
dress, for it is very hard to under
stand any excited person over the
telephone. Keeping cool will save a
lot of time for the police, and prob
ably will result in the arrect of the
prowler." u aMs3
Don't leave notices on the door adj
vising callers or delivery men you
will be absent for certain time.
Burglars often find such notes and
help themselves.
Don't fail to examine your doors
and windows before leaving home.
Be sure that they are securely fast
ened.
Don't fail to stop your newspaper
during your absence from home. An
accumulation of newspapers on the
front porch is an assurance to the
burglar that no one is at home.
Don't fail to keep your shades
pulled down and the lights burning
when you go out for the evening.

tering lighted houses.

Don't inform strangers that no one

Don't fail to insist on all plumbers,

credentials. Burglars often imper-
| senate such persons to get into
homes.
Don't hide money under carpets,

are the first places burglar looks
for valuables.
Don't place your jewelry on the
