From the stars of the night
and the dewy grass of the
spring mornings, in the notes
of the birds and the music of
little rills, through all of the
myriad voices of nature, there
comes the healing touch of pa
thence, the consciousness that
vast, eternal forces go on their
majestic way quite untroubied
by the ferment of human
brains and the hot impulses of
human hearts. Men and wom-

the spectacle of the wonderful
resurrection which every
spring brings to renew their
faith in ultimate good.

TWO BRANDS OF PROPHET.
(Copyright.)

Two kinds of prophet I have met
Upon my journey here below
Two kinds! And l am free to bet
Both kinds you also chance to know.
One kind keeps still before events,
And later says, II told you .o.'
must admit l am too dense
To see why he keeps lying so.
The other kind blurts out his say,
And when the day is past and gone
He hides, if things don't go his way,
And keeps as still as Coal Oil John.
Two kinds of prophet-each no good
Both you and 1 have always known;
Two kinds of prophet; and we should
Be scared if neither pulled a bone"

County Commissioners Would
Have Contract Made for
Cement Highway

A resolution asking that the state
highway commission advertise for
bids for the construction of two
mile cement road leading to and from
the Bismarck -Mandan bridge has been
adopted by the county commissioners.
The board notified the state that l:
was ready to bear the county's burden
of expense.
The proposed concrete road would
start at the east end of Main! street,
come to the present limit OF the city
pavement, and start at the west END
of the Main street pavement. ending
at the bridge. The proposed road
would cross under the Northern Paci-
I fic tracks. The state highway CON-
mission adopted a preliminary plan
for the roadway sometime ago.
Under the federal aid arrangement
the government pays one-half the
cost and the county and state the
remainder. -.-...
It is understood that the commits
sioners of Morton county are discuss
ing possible means by which a con-
crete road can be built from Mandan

MOTT Man HELD
NOT GUILTY ON
FEDERALCHARGE
w. J. Glenny Acquitted by Jury
Which Returns Verdict in
u. S. Court

w. J. Glenny, Of the Mott Supply
company, was acquitted by a jury
which reported Saturday night in fed
eral court, of charge Of filing false
and fraudulent income tax returns.
The jury found the defendant not
guilty on all three counts Of the in
dictment, after it had deliberated for
several hours.
''The important fact in the case was
that the Mott Supply company had on
hand certain amount of goods that
was deprecated and obsolete; in TAX
ing the inventory they took a certain
discount for the years 1917, 1918 and
1919 from the. inventory to cover such
depreciation, and the question was
whether they had a right to do this
or whether it was done with criminal
intent said H. P. Jacobson, who with
T. F. Murtha and J. F. Sullivan, ap-
peared as counsel for Mr.. Glenny.
The indictment was returned IN
Fargo and the case was tried before
Judge Woodrough, Of federal court
here. Two days were required for
the trial of the case. The jury return
ed its verdict at 8 O'Clock Saturday
night.
The outcome of the case was
watched with much interest by bus
mess men and federal tax officials,
as it was regarded in a sense as a tesr
case as to what power merchant has
in making an income tax return to
allow for depreciation in his goods.
