corded tho department proceedings
brought against Freerks for fraud,
makes interesting reading in view of
the league conventions action. Chief
Justice Wallin wrote the decision.
In 1901, Martin Freerks acted as
attorney for one Mary Ann Jones in
suit for removal of a cloud on a
title for the cancellation of certain
taxes illegally entered in the sum of
5000.
The judgment was granted by the
court for the remoavl of the cloud
on the--title and the cancellation Of
the taxes, but when the order reached
the deputy clerk, it had been altered
to grant further relief which was un-
warranted, and which had been enter;
ed without the concurrence of the at
torney who signed the complaint. The
extraneous relief read as follows:
"And the defendant is entitled to have
the amount thereof, together with in
terest thereon at the rate Of z per
cent per annum from the date of the
tax sale, refunded out of the county
treasury upon an order therefor from
the county auditor.
Fraud BY Attorney
Quoted from syllabus: Held that
, fraudulent use was made of said
false and fraudulent judgment in the
matter of inducing the ~,
liver the said county orders to the ac-
cused.
Deceit By Attorney
Held, further, that in committing
guilty of deceit and unprofessional
conduct within the meaning of SUBJ
division 3 of section 427 and of sec
tion 428 of the Revised Codes of 1889,
and that under section 42S the ac-
cused was guilty of conduct for which
he may lawfully be either disbarrad
or suspended from practlcs as an at
torney at law.
Suspension From Practice
Held further, that under the ex-
tenuating facts stated at length in the
opinion the court will enter an order

THE STATE HAIL LAW

Emmons county people who do not
want the state hail insurance should
not overlook the fact that they must
file certain withdrawal affidavits prior
to June 18th or they will be taxed
for the insurance whether they want it
or not. They will haye to pay three
cents per acre on tillable land, anyway.
It is nothing to this paper whether
the roperty owners withdraw or not.
But it is our duty to inform our read
ers of the provisions Of this very pc
,ucliar system of selling hail insurance.

GOVERNOR WANTED EGAN TO
GO FREE
Bank Wrccker Short $4,000, Gets
One to Five Years in Pen, ana
Governor Wanted Court to Sus-
pend Sentence.

Bismarck, N. .-Townley's or
frazier's mistakes in picking state Of
(f'cials and appointees who would obey
orders have not been confined to Lam
ger, kositzky, Hall, Birdzell and
Kane.
Incidentally for the first time in
the history of legal lore in this state
an executive has attempted to run
courts-Judge j. S. Graham, of Ell
lendale, Frazier appointee of last
July proved himself big enough to at
least partially override dictation.
Some time ago, Pierce Egan,
Beach banker bought a bank at Jud.
1t was in splendid condition. But in
side of nine months he had looted it
clean. He had filled it with 100000
worth of fake certificates of deposits.
He was arrested, tried and con-
victad.
Then Governor Frazier. for some
reason which is not apparent on the
surface, wrote letter recommending
that when Egan came up for sentence
tie judge give him suspended SEN
tcnce. Imagine! A man convicted
of wrecking perfectly sound bank
in less than a year, escape with mere
ly suspended sentence-without
serving one day in Jail.
o. E. Lofuts, bank examiner, who
lost the evidence which could convict
Hagan of the Scandinavian American
bank, in fact who gave to the indicted
bank officials the very evidence that
would convict them before the court
o. E. Lotus also wrote letter urg-
ing that Egan be given suspended
sentence.
There is in the State of North Da-
kota State Guarantee Fund COM
mission in which all state banks must
participate and by which losses caus-
ed by the failure of wreckine Of one
institution are equally distributed
over all in making up the shortage.
Even throwing out or making up
the 100000 worth of fake certificates
Of deposit. the State Guaranty Fund
Commission will lose 100000 accord
ing to one member of the board. The
state has already paid out $4,000 to
creditors of the wrecked Egan bank at
Jud.
Yet, for wrecking a bank and en-
bezzling or misusing approximately
S120.000, costing the state a bill of
100000, in addition to costs of trial,
ETC., Pierce Egan is recommended by
Governor Lynn j. Frazier and Bank
Examiner o. E. Lotus to be pun
ished by a suspended sentence,
to be served ONLY in case of future
violations of banking laws.
Judge Graham, although Frazier's
appointee, gave Egan an indetermin-
ate sentence of from one to five years
in the Penitentiary. One year

NOT MUCH GOES TO WASTE
Machines That Make for Economy Are

ries In America.

Recovery Of valuable portions of
materials formerly wasted Is more
and more feature OF American in
dustrlal economy. For many years
there has been In use In many Of
the large engineering works cen.
trlfugal separating machine which
removes the oil from iron and steel
turnings or bOrlngs and thus permits
II TO he used over again. This idea
which underlles this machine has
now been carried farther and applied
to the removal of the dust and dirt
which unavoidably collects In oil
used in the lubrlcatlng systems Of
marine and other large engines. The
new machine Is very similar in form
and operates on the same principle as
the now well.knOwn centrifugal
cream separator. The foul oil Is fed
continuously into the machine
through stralner which catches any
gross particles, precisely as milk is
fed into the cream separator. The
purified oil escapes continuously,
while the dust and dirt collect on the
inner surface of the separating drum.
Provision Is made by which the at
tendant can Instantly tell when the
machine Is choked with the deposited
impurities.

THE VALUE OF vALUABLEs
Many Things Go to Make Up Con-
sIdsratlon Of the Real Worth
Of an Article.

Value In commodity depends, ac-
cOrding TO certain standard ecOnO-
mlsts, on utilities Of time, place and
events. An article Is worth what It's
owner can get for II. What he can
get for It depends on where II Is, who
wants II, for what purpose and the
number Of bidders.
The Manchester Guardian published
an interview with Rykov, president of
the supreme council of national econ0-
my In soviet Russia. RykOv Indicated
that some valunbes were less valuable
In these days than formerly, while
others were more so. The sOviets, he
said, would let go Of their platinum
slowly In trade with the outside world
SLOWLY, that is, In comparison with
their release OF other articles.
IN platinum we have world
monopoly" said Rykov, "and conse-
Quently can afford to wait. Diamonds
and gold, however--they can have as
much as they want Of such rubbish.
Platinum Is different anu we are in no
hurry to part with II. Diamonds and
gold ornaments, the jewelry Of the
cars. we are ready to give to any
king In Europe who fancies them II
he can give us some less ornamental
but more useful locomotives"
Similarly there is no doubt that not
q few American manufacturers would
willingly trade diamonds and gold and
motor cars and electric runabouts for
box cars plain, old. railroad red box
cars-ready on the sldetrack TO haul
factory output from point of produc
tlon TO point of consumptlon.--Chlca

Farmers Get Together.

During the past week the farm
ers of the Harmony and Trenton
communities held meetings at their
respective schools. County Agent
Carwile reports several things Of
interest taken up by these men.
The Harmony people plan to build
a storage house for sweet potatoes.
Quite bit of discussion was given
to bringing into the community a
bnll out of a dam of 500 pounds or
more of butter fat, for the purpose
of building up the grade milk cows.
The county agricultural agent will
do more work along this subject.
Other things taken UP were run
ming cotton breeding tests for indi.
vidual and community good, corn
testing plots, cooperation to push
the cotton association work through.
out the county and the securing Of
county cotton grader.
At the Trenton meeting the farm
ers decided to form permanent ag'
ricultural club to meet several times
during the year. This club will
endeavor to do everything for the
agricultural good of the commu
nifty, laying particular stress on the
continued success of the asparagus
industry, on pushing the swine in
dustry so as to make Trenton a
hog section of the State, on promo
ting the growing of peanuts and
sweet potatoes as substitutes fol
cotton under weeyil conditions, and
deyoting great deal of attention
to the breeding Of standard corn
for the community apd on imprOv
ing the cotton varieties to suit theil
conditions after the boil weevil be

This club will cooperate with the
county agricultural agent, the Cot
ton Association and all forces il

ing for the good of the farming
people.

All partings cause more or less
sadness, but there is a peculiar sor-
row which attends the severing of the
ties binding a church and her pastor.
This fills our hearts as we look back

during which Brother H. B. White
has so faithfully ministered unto US
as our pastor.
Since he feeling that the time has
come for him to give up this pastor
ate and has rendered his resignation,
with the request that it be accepted
the first of April,
Therefore, be it Resolved
First, That we, the members OF
Berea Church accept his resignation
with deep regret.
Second, That we hereby express
to Brother White our sincere appre-
citation of the thoughtful and helpful
sermons he has given US, as well as
of the influence eXerted over our
lives by his strong Christian charac-
ter.
Third, That we assure him of our
heartfelt gratitude for the constant
and earnest prayers he has made for
US, and the sympathy and love he has
shown us.
Fourth, That our love and our
prayers shall attend him when ne IS
no longer our pastor and that we
ask Gods guidance of his steps and
richest blessings upon him in his
work.

Meeting of Agricultural Commit.
tee Chamber of Commerce.

Several days ago A. B. Carwile,
chairman of the agricultural com
mittee of the Edgefeld Chamber of
Commerce, called tie agricultural
committee together for discussion
of the problems facing the people
interested in the welfare of the
farming interests of the county.
Among the things taken up the
most important to us just now is
the matter of securing a cotton
grader for the county. The benefit
of such a man cannot be told in
such short space. We shall only
point you to the other sections of
the State where the graders have
been instrumental in raising the
price of cotton several cents per
pound where they have been at
work. Anderson can be cited as
one OF the best examples of. this
worthy work during the past year.
The question is just now is do we
want cotton grader bad enough
to go into our pockets and bring
out few dollars to pay the salary
of this man? The Chamber of
Commerce thinks we do. The next
work will be getting the farmers
clubs of the county and the Cham
Der of Commerce at Johnston inter-
terested, and we can easily put across
piece of work that will mean many
dollars in the pockets of the pro-
ducer, where they have been giving
to the buyer heretofore.
Another item mentioned is that
important matter of club work In
the schools of the county. Mr..
Carwile reported that he has never
been able to do the club work with
the boys of the county that should
be done. The committee agreed to
get together to raise several prizes
to put up in order to encourage this
work among the boys of the county.
Also, steps were taken to arrange
for a club show at the court house
in case the work is success, and
for the holding of short course
for the club members.
