PRELIMINARY TRIAL OF
HAMMORS HELD TUESDAY

The preliminary trial of Enos Ham
mors, who used knife on the person
of Edison Kincaid at Libertyville re-
Gently, was held before Squire Geo.
Sutherland Tuesday in the Circuit
Court room. He was Hbound over TO
Circuit Court on q charge of assault
with intent to kill. ,dj III
The testimony brought out at the
trial showed that Hammers cut Kin
caid five times about the chest, stom-
ach and back, and that twenty-five
stitches were required to close the
wounds. 1t also showed that he was
not sufficiently provocated to injure
Kincaid as he did, and that Kincaid's
actions were largely in self-defense,
although he did strike Hammers.
The case against Mrs. Hammers
and her son was dismissed, although
it was shown that young Hammers
did throw a rock wnicn struck and
knocked down his own mother, evil
IDENTIFY throwing at one of the Kin
caids.
Also no charge was made against
Will Kincaid, who came up and stopped
the fight by hitting Hammers over
the head with a scantling.

HERE, OR AT B0ONVILLE"

Quite common circumstance hap
pened the first part of this week in
connection with the efforts of County
Attendance Officer Tucker, to COM
pei boys to go to school.
A certain merchant had in his EN-
ploy boy under sixteen years Of age.
He had been notified to get into
school The merchant had been mott
fled not to keep the boy in his employ
without AN Employment Certificate.
On Tuesday morning the boy
showed up for work. The merchant
asked for the Employment Certif-
cate. The boy said he had just talked
with Judge Tucker and he wal -going
to fix it up" Mr.. Tucker just hap
pcned to visit the place ON Wednesday
morning and saw the boy at work. Ee
Immediately inquired into matters and
the following dialogue took place:
Merchant: "All right, Mr. Tucker,
what will you have?"
Mr.. Tucker: II came over here to
see about that boy lindicating). /
TOLD YOU NOT 10 EMPLOY HIM
OR ANY OTHER BOY UNDER SIN
TEEN YEARS OF AGE WITHOUT
AN EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATE"
Merchant: This boy told me that
you told him this morning that ne
could work here, and that it was all
right"
Mr.. Tucker: "This boy hasn't seen
me at al. Turning to the boy2
Young man, you come and go with me
to school,"
Merchant: young man, you won't
work for me-" !.
The boy and Mr.. Tucker started to
the office of the Superintendent. On
the way to school the hoy said TO Mr.
Tucker, "You need not go with me,
IM go on to school"
Mr.. Tucker: "No, / need the exer-
cine. I'll just go along"
when the Superintendent's office
was reached the following dialogue
took place there:
Mr.. Tucker: Here is this boy have
brought to school,"
Superintendent: "All right; he told
me you had authorized him to work
this morning"
Mr.. Tucker: 81 have not seen him
this morning until / found him at
work"
Boy: 81 don't want to go to school;
l want to work.
Mr.. Tucker: "You will go to school,
either HERE OR AT BOONVILLE,
just az you please"
Boy: "Ill go here, thaF can go
home and change my!ssRsattRsss?"
Superintendent: "YSS But return
soon" 1oJ M
Boy: Twill l be counted tardy for
being out this morning."
Superintendent: '"No, but you will
be counted as truant."
So the boy took his choice, and is
in school learning the arts of civili-
cation, and has deferred his chase for
the Almighty Dollar.-"selling out mis-
future prospect for present gratifca-
tionw
The above is sadly typical of many
instances.
Any merchant or other person en-
ploying a child under sixteen years of
age without an Employment Certili-
cate will have Judge Tucker right on
his back, and when he gets through
with him then the Prosecuting Attor-
ney will be at the bat, and by the time
home plate is reached the offender will
know he had 'runT for his money"
The law in such cases will not be
"monkeyed with" 1't@

Advocates Grain Grading.
Among the subjects to be taught in
North Dakota schools for the ex-
press purpose of assisting the chill
dren in future life is grain grading,
Miss Nelson declared. A bill was
passed at the last session Of the legis-
lature making the teaching of this
very important subject compulsory in
consolidated schools and summer
schools. which many older boys at
tend. Every consolidated school is
compelled to have grain grading and
cream testing equipment and every
county must have such equipment for
the use in schools, other than cOnsOll-
dated schools. In this connection
Miss Nelson paid tribute to the
hearty cooperation the schools will re-
ceive from Commissioner of Agricul-
ture ohm Hagen and the@state agri.
cultural college Commissioner Ha-
gen and the officials OF the Agricul
tural college will place experts at the
services of the educational authori-

Good Roads. T..
Good. roads, that. is the theory Of
road building. will likewise be taught
to the children OF North Dakota, Miss
Nelson said In every state there
have been miles of roads built at great
expense because the builders did not
understand what good road building
was. IL r.
In many places in North Dakota
the speaker declared, men have built
roads which were merely piles of dirt.
We plan to oversome that by learn
ing the boys how to build good roads.
A great many other states have tried
this plan and the results have been re-
amrkable. Contests will be arranged
between various schools so that the
standard of work will be kept high.
In the, future when men of North Da.
kota build road it will be a road the
neighborhood can justly be proud of.
The speaker concluded her re.
marks by an assurance that her Of
flee would cooperate in every way
possible for, better education in the
cities and in the country in North
Dakota, and she asked like co-opera.

From this it appears that, even with
the proper allowance made for increas-
ing cost, March, 1919, is almost 80 per
cent above the average for the last six
years. March, 1917, is the only month
which probably slightly exceeds in
presen value the past month. Govern
ment contracts are included in these
figures and undoubtedly during March.
