HELD OVER STATE IN JUNE

The farmers, institutes to be held
next month under the direction Of III.
@. Puderbaugh, deputy commissioner
Of labor and agriculture, promise to
be better than any previous ones.
There will be 25 Institutes in the
month of June, to be held in various
parts of the state.
'"The people of the state are showing
great interest in our institutes.
We have had high average attend
ance, and are well pleased with the re-
Suits" said Mr.. Puderbaugh. "The
subjects of our speakers are those that
not only interest the farmer, but also
help him.
1.-THE county agents are all cooper
ating with us. We will try to do most
of our work in the four corners Of the
state where the influenza prevented
our working last fall.'
Some of the speakers announced
are: ]. H. Worst, president emeritus
Of the Agricultural College, who dis
cusses general agriculture: Prof.
George Wilson Of the University, who
speaks on marketing; Prof. A. p.
Hollis, who discusses schools, and
leads in community singing; and Mrs.
G. w. Randlett,- who teaches home
economics, and talks on poultry.

The legislative purpose in reQulr-
ing publication evidently was to at
tract attention Of prospective bidders
at the sale with veiw to protecting
the rights Of interested parties by se-
curing competitive bids and avoiding
a sacrifice Of the property. The only
notice given in this case was by q
notice published In a weekly news
paper at Lansford, % miles distant
from the land, and having no circula-
ton In the vicinity thereof. It might
az well not have been published ut all,
as far as being Of any actual benefit
was concerned. 1t was not the paper
nearest the farm, nor reasonably like
y to accomplish the purpose intended
BY the legislature"
New Law Will Cure Evil.
The newspaper bill, providing for
the appearance Of all official notices
in one county newspaper will accom-
plish all the things which Justice Fisk
found were not accomplished by pub
LEGATION Of the sort in the case Of this
Bottineau farmer. Every county has
cases Of this sort, one notorious one
being in Grand Forks county. When
prospective bidders know all notices
Of sale are in one paper, and when
farmers know that the official notices
concerning them can be found In ono
certain paper, and not in any one Of
three. they will be able to keep track
Of all matters affecting them.

MONTANA OFFICIAL CALLS
IMMIGRATION Law GOOD

'Yhe immigration law is a good
one" said Charles D. Greenfield, Sec
rotary Of agriculture and publicity for
the state of Montana. Mr.. Greenfield
was at Bismarck last week studying
the new measures. He felt qualified
to speak Of the immigration bill be-
cause he is engaged in the same work
in his own state.
1.-THE west needs advertising" said
Secretary Greenfield. Montana is
getting it, by getting out illustrated
books showing the resources and op-
portunities. also advertise in eighty
four newspapers Of the middle west.
Some days get as many as $50 re-
plies from people who want to invest
their money and come out to Mon
tana."
The appropriation is no larger than
that Of Colorado, which has stand
ing appropriation Of 100000 a year
for advertising it's advantages. The
state Of Washington spends $4,000 9
year in the same way. Oregon, which
much smaller than North Dakota,
uses $4,000 a year to attract popu.
lation.

TAX INCREASE IS ONLY
THREE CENTS AN ACRE

Opponents Of the Non.
partisan League are trying to
brighten the farmers by predict
Ing stiff increases In taxes. For
some reason. most Of these
calamity howlers pay very little
taxes themselves, while some Of
the farmer members Of the
legislature were among the
largest resident taxpayers In
the state. II 10 reasonable to :
suppose that q legislature COM
posed Of farmers would tax
themselves to the point Of con.
fiscation7
AZ q matter Of fact, the taxes
collected for state purposes this
year will be only three cents an
acre moro than they were q
year ago. In 1918 the farmers
Of this state paid two and one
half cents an acre In state
taxes. This year the state tax
paid by farmers will be five and
one-haIf cents an acre. This 10
the full extent Of the increase
In state taxation about which
the !. v. A. organs are making
90 much fuss.
There 10 hardly farmer In
the state who will not be able
to pay his total state taxes
increase and all-out Of the
saving he will make from q
single busheI Of wheat when the
new legislation 10 working. The
terminal elevator alone should
bring more than three cents
busheI additional to the average
farmer for his wheat and IL he
insures against hail he will
probably save from IS to so
cents an acre as a result Of
state insurance.
The farmers are not com.
planning about the trifiino in
crease in taxes. The farmer is
satisfied because he Is getting
value received. It is the grain
gamblers, loan sharks and in
surance men who are doing all
the "hoIlerins." And their real
reason for "hoIIering" is because
they know their excessive
profits are going to be cut off at
the source.

LOST HIS FARM
BY SMALL DEBT
Bottineau County Man Knows
Evils of Present News.
paper Law to His
Cost.

a 0OtLlnedu county farm worth -,
600 was sold as the result Of q 364
mortgage, for $118.23. The only man
who knew about the sale was the
holder Of the mortgage, who bid 1t in.
This 10 the sort Of trickery that will
be ended by the new newspaper bills
which establish one official newspaper.
The case Of Bailey VS.. Hendrickson.
in which farmer lost his property by
foreclosure without even knowing that
a sale Of his property was to be held,
came before the state supreme court
here in 1910. Two Of the judges de-
cided that the farmer had no remedy.
Justice Fisk, in a dissenting opinion,
flayed the law permitting official
notices of foreclosure to be printed in
small, distant newspapers with the
evident intention Of keeping the man
most concerned, and prospective bid
ders other than those in on the mort
gage, to learn Of the sale.
Borrowed $50; Lost His Farm.
Farmer Bailey had borrowed $54 on
his $4,000 farm. The little mortgage
was sold to various people, finally
coming into the hands of man who
evidently saw an opportunity to get a
good farm for almost nothing. The
court record shows that the interest
was kept up, and that no demand ever
was made for payment. The farmer
evidently had forgotten when it fell
due.
Through firm Of lawyers in Mo-
hall, the county seat, an official
notice of foreclosure sale was printed.
It was not printed in the official paper
at the county seat, but in little paper
80 miles distant, at Lansford. This
place is % miles from the farmer, and
the paper had no circulation In the
district where the attorneys and all
others concerned lived. The farmer
had no knowledge of the coming fore
closure proceedings until after the ex-
piration of the period of redemption.
If the notice had been printed in the
official paper at Antler, nine miles
from his farm he might have had an
opportunity to save himself. He
would ut least have been sure Of hav-
ing number of bidders for his prop
erty and would not have experienced
a total loss.
On the day Of the sale, the only
man who appeared to bid in the prop
erty was the holder of the mortgage.
With the notice published SO far away,
no one who might have been bidder
saw 1t. Thus land worth $4,000 was
taken for the paltry sum Of $113.2e.
No Relief for Injustice.
The majority Of the supreme court
held that there was no legal relief for
this evident injustice. It reversed the
opinion Of a lower court which had
ordered that Farmer Bailey be allowed
to buy back his land upon payment OF
the costs.
Judge Flags the Law.
The opinion Of Justice Fisk, who
held for the farmer, is interesting as
giving the exact reasons for the recent
legislation providing for one official
newspaper in each county, where ali
legal notices must appear, so that
they cannot be hidden from those in
terested. Judge Fisk said =
