COMMISSIONERS WILL
GO TO BISMARCK
Committee to Appear Before Com.
missioner of Agriculture Hagen
Hope 10 Issue Warrants
Instead of Bonds.

Chairman A. S. Spicher and other
member Of the board of county COM
missioners will leave tonight for Bis
marck to transact business connected
with the issuing of county warrants
with which to purchase feed and seed
for the farmers Of Ward county. The
board has made arrangements with
bank to handle the warrants pro-
viding that the 1918 sinking fund,
comprising the money paid the county
on the seed and feed bills can be trans
ferred from the Bank of North Da-
kota to the bank that proposes to
cash the warrants. The commission
ers do not like the plan of bonding
the county because this would re-
quire too much time and they believe
the bonds could not be handled for
six percent, the interest the warrants
draw. They hope to have the money
in readiness so that when they return
Monday they can get out the seed
and feed applications Immediately.
These applications must be passed
upon by the board on or before March
rs, so farmers desiring aid will have
little time to lose. They propose
to let the grain dealers of the county
handle the feed and seed on a margin
of two cents . bushel, saving the coun-
ty a great deal of bother and facili-
tating the work of distribution. They
realize that farmers must begin feed
ing their horses at once if they have
them in shape for the spring work.
The commissioners will meet with
Commissioner of Agriculture Hagen
at Bismarck.

WALLER WINS ACTION
BROUGHT BY WENDT
Supreme Court Decides That Superin-
tendent of Ward County Schools
Has the Proper Qualifications

A. M. Waller, superintendent of
schools of Ward county, has won the
case of Wendt VS.. Waller in Supreme
court according to word received by
Mr.. Walters attorneys, Palda 4
Aaker today, the Supreme court af-
firming the decision handed down by
Judge K. E.. Leighton some months
ago.
Waller defeated Wendt for super
intendent by seventeen votes. Wendt
sought to retain the office claiming
that Waller did not possess the neces-
sary qualifications, altho he had pre-
viously employed Waller as his depu-
ty, the law requiring the same quail
,fcations for deputy as fer the super
intendent.
Walters salary amounting to ST.
900 year has been held up since
the official took charge of the office
nearly fourteen months ago, all the
money that Mr.. Waller received being
small sum for mileage.

Flourishing Conditions in the Eas

Mr.. and Mrs. Fay N. Fuller returned
home Saturday from an extended trip
thru the eastern states. While visiting
at Eilkhorn, Wisconsin, q message reach
ed the Fullers that Mrs. Fullers moth
er, Mrs. Elvira Wheeler of WOOdville,
N. y, had fallen and broken her hip and
Mrs. Fuller Immediately left for that
point. Mr.. Fuller spent several days in
Chicago and later went to Detroit Mich
igan, spending a week at the Dodge
Brothers factory. He says that the flu
is working great havoc among the res
idents of Detroit. One day while there,
over 5000 workers in the Dodge Broth
ness. AS some $4,000 men are employ
ed it would indicate very high per-
centage Of cases. Mr., Fuller informs
the Independent that the Fuller Motor
Co. have, arranged to handle the Graham
trucks this season and Will soon begin
an extensive advertising campaign in
the interest of these popular machines.
Commenting on conditions in the east.
Mr.. Fuller states that high Prices are
the rule everywhere. Hotels where the
rate was formerly $3.50 per day, are
now charging So to $40 per day. The
theatres are crowded, common labOrers
frequently occupying seats which cost
from $500 up. Silks and furs. high
priced cars and expensive jeWelry are
no longer the exclusive sign of the rich.
1t may be that the pOssessor is merely
a stone mason or mechanic. Mr.. Fuller
says it was a relief to get back to a
state where the people have at least re-
tanned their sanity.

United States Senator Hiram. John
son of California who speaks at the

arrived on No. 20, today, having de-

last night. Senator Johnson is the
only presidential candidate scheduled
to appear in Minot prior to the presl-

believed that without question he will
be the choice Of the republicans of
North Dakota. He is real execut-

been tried many times and never was
found wanting. He comes to North
Dakota, catering to no faction in par
ticular but asking for republican votes
wherever he can get them, and you
can't blame him for that.
