| 20, is as follows:
"Whcreupon any person shall apply
to the Supreme circuit, or county
court to be admitted to practice there
in as an attorney, and shall show sat
| isfactorily to such court, that he is a
resident of the state, and is of good
moral character, the judge or Judges
thereof shall grant to such applicant
license to practice in the said courts
respectively in which he or they may
preside"
That is all. No education whatso-
ever, not even the indispensable "three
Rs" is needed, and the law is impera-
tive The judges shall grant a license
to every ignoramus "of good moral
character" who resides in the state
whenever he chooses to ask for it, This

ancient, honorable and learned profess

Movie fans--you all know Tom Mix,

merly lived in North Dakota? In fact

found him one of the sensations of the
screen, which coveted position he still
maintains.
Mix was married by Justice Nels

The FARMER MUST
WORK OUT HIS
OWN SALVATION
N. J. Demaree Says He Has Land
That is Worth $3.50 an Acre as In
vestment-Need Not Wait for
Eastern Farmers.

N. j. Demcree, prominent farmer
and stockman from southwest of Des
Laos, is in the city today on business.
He has been fairly busy during the
winter, feeding 20 horses, 80 cattle
and 1875 sheep. He states that he has
been dragging hay and straw to his
stock ever since Oct. ID, some days
giving them $500 worth of feed The
horses usually rustled for themselves
in the winter, but the snow formed an
icy covering over the grass and they
could get little feed outside. 1t has
been hard and expensive work but his
stock is coming thru in good shape.
Mr.. Demaree will build pit silo be-
fore next fall which will solve the feed
question for the future. Farmers in
his district have been very successful
with sweet clover.
II have some land which consider
is worth $4,000 an acre." he says.
at has been broken deep, has been
we'll MANFRED and the rock has been
taken off. l figure it worth that price
because what can make off it, makes
it worth $3.50 to me as an investment.
l have heard people say that this land
will be worth more when the Illinois
and Iowa farmers arrive | do not
agree with them. have always claim
ed that we must work out our own sal
walton. We must do better farming
ourselves. There is no use waiting
for someone from the outside to come
in here and raise the price of our land
for u.s."
Mr.. Demaree's land is located in the
hills where the land is the most fertile
in the, state. He experimental with
planting some wheat in the clay sub
soil taken from a point ten feet below
the surface. The clay contained
enough mineral to produce excellent
wheat.

Nelson Sprague is in County Jail
Declares That He Spent Night With
King Woman at VendOme Hotel
Where She Cashed SIS Check.

A young Canadian soldier who gives
his name as Nelson G. Sprague, was
arrested by Chief of Police J. w.
Kinsel on 500 train between Ken
mare and Bowbells this afternoon,
charged with carrying concealed wea-
pons, and with holding up a young wo-
man named King, at the Vendome Ho-
tel in this city, compelling her to cash
q $500 check given on bank at
North Tonawanda, N. Y.
Sprague was brot to Minot during
the night and is now in the county jail.
The arrest Of the young man came
about thru his strange actions in max
ing his exit from the city. He tele-
phoned to Keavin to send a taxi to the
New York Cafe, which took him to
Burlington, where he caught the 500
train north. Local police learned of
the hold-up at the Vendome and learn
ed from the King woman that the
young man packed a young cannon IN
the shape of a IA Winchester revol-
yer. Sheriff Scofeld phoned to Chief
Kinsel at Kenmare and the Chief
boarded the train, riding to Bowbells,
making the arrest in the meantime.
Sprague carried the gun, loaded, in
his suit case. He also has a belt of
shells and lot of extra shells in a
mitten.
At the county Jail he told an indie
pendent representative that he had
fought in the Canadian army from
1914 until the Armistice was signed,
receiving two wounds in one of his
legs. He walks with limp and car
ries his discharge papers. He says
that he was discharged from the hos
pital in January and that he left
North Tonawanda, N. Y, on March g..
He was enroute to Moosejaw, Sask,
to meet a Miss Margaret Lindsey,
who accompanied him from England.

to Snowden, short distance west of
Mondak, but returned to Minot as he
learned there was no road running
north to Moosejaw. At Burlington,
he telegraphed to Miss Lindsey to
meet him at Moosejaw. The young
woman was at Greyburn, Sask., at the
time the telegram was sent. Sprague
was we'll supplied with checks and car
ried a bank book showing deposit of
$20,500.O0 in a North Tonawanda
bank. He tells rather fishy story
about the death of his mother, leaving
the $50, 10000 to q married sister who
lives in New York, and he is supposed
TO be handling the money for her. He
says his father is a day laborer at
North Tonawanda, working at bridge
building, He claims that the revolver
is one which he won at rattle in To-
ronto and says he did not know it is
against the law to carry gun in
North Dakota.
He says that he arrived in Minot
Wednesday and spent the night at the
Vendome on Second street S. w., some
dark slim man whom he met at res
taurant steering him to the place. He
was introduced to Miss King and paid
her $40 for her company Wednesday
night. He says he bought her drink
of whiskey in the morning and while
re had the glass of whiskey in his
hand, he asked her to cash a $500
check, which she did. He says that the
woman grabbed the whiskey from is
hand before he could drink it.
The woman informs the police that
she cashed the check after Sprague
had thrown back his coat, showing her
the big gun, but Sprague says that the
King woman knew he had the gun as
she saw it in his room at the TING she
spent the night with him. v
Sprague offers to send telegram
to New York to substantiate his story
about the money and says that the
check is good.
