The regular January term of
district court will be held in Bow
bells commencing ON Monday of
next week with Judge Geo. A..
Moellring Of Ray presiding. The
judge will arrive Monday after
noon on the train and the same
evening the several cases on the
calendar will be set for certain
days, though the actual trials of
the cases will not start until the
following morning. The only GRIM
inal case on the calendar is that OF
the state against Will Elgie, who
was arrested abou; year ago on
the charge of stealing wheat. No
term of, court was held here since
that time. This will no doubt be
the first case tried ~
Among the civil cases which will
no doubt prove interesting in case
1t is brought up for trial is that of
j. Emerson Of North Star
township against B. M. Wohlwend
leges that, Wchlwend struck him
with some blunt instrument last
December while Emerson was
scranking q car and was wearing &
heavy coat so was unable to de-
~fend himself. Emerson also charges
that before he was able to- get his
coat off Wohlwend kept on assault
i,,~ him. and that as result Of such
assa ult Emerson is permanently
injured. Damages to the amount
Of $4,000 are asked. This case
is scheduled for trial at this. term.
and will come up unless the de-
fendant; files an affidavit of preju-
dice either. against Burke connty
or against the court.
Other civil cases on the calen-
dar which will be disposed of at
this term are: - y

NEEDY. Ne ] |. FARMERS 4
SHOULD TELL BANKS

The chances are that it will be
necessary for the county to issue
its bonds in order to furnish
farmers with seed and feed for
next spring, and in order that the
work of procuring the grain and
hay as we'll as disposing of the
bonds be done with the least
amount. of time and trouble the
county board has asked The Trib-
une to request that all farmers
who will need help this spring to
notify their bankers
as to what they will require. Seed
and feed for putting in only :one
quarter will be allowed to each
farmer. All persons needing help
should make up a list of the num-
Der of bushels of each kind Of
grain they will need fornone quar-
ter and also the amoulEt OF hay;
they will require for feed. These:
lists. should be made out and hand
cd either to one of the banks in
the county or else direct to the
county auditor before Jan. 25,
when the county. board holds its
next session. and at which time
the bonding Of the county for seed
and feed will be settled. Persons
who fail to file their requests be-
Tore Jan. IS will have only them

ing and Sheriff Nelson went home
that evening: feeling that r they
could come back the following Mon
day morning and look after the
duties. of their Office without being
further molested by the defeated
candidates. but such, however, was
not tile case. Former County Com
missioner Grubb was 81 here early
Monday morning determined to
serve, and Drinkwater had fully
made gup his mind to hang onto his
Office The new officers then ap-
3aled to States Attorney Hanson
feeling sure that he would uphold
them the same as he did the Sat
urdays evening before, but he
didn't. Instead he stated. that lie
had spent most of Sunday In thor
oughly looking up the law on the
subject, and was now, fully con-
vinced that .he defeated candidates
had full power to serve, and that
/ the decision Yof the district court in
the contest case automatically re-
moyed the officers who were certi-
fed elected by the canvassing board.
He filed, an opinion to this effect,
and also to the acts performed by
the board while Dewing was acting
during last week. This let Dewing
out. and left Grubb to act with the
other two members of the board.
While in session on . Friday Afof
last week the county board reject
ed all bids for deposits. of county
money, and designated the Bank
Of North Dakota as sole depository
of county money. About the first

After the county board had Edes-
signated the Rank Of North Dakota
as the sole depository Of county

fled to this effect. and the county

Plan FOR |I:|. . EARLY

Bismarck, N. D. Jan. 1s :-----:Ac-
Cording to details given The Cour-
rier News correspondent by a per-
son In touch with the inner ring of
railway, telephone and power trust
|. politicians. plans are now being
sperfected for; a So recall movement
2to8 begin within two or three weeks
against Attorney General Lemke
and Supreme Court Judges yBron-
son, Grace and Robinson. The
plotters may also .include Governor
Frazier, but are still debating this
point. The idea is to spring the
recall campaign during the legisla-.
tive, session when all the officials
concerned wiN be too busy to make.
a campaign and in the dead OF Win
ter when farmers will have diff
Guilty liz coming to the polls.
S Reasona for the recall, as given
by tho informant in question, are
that the public utility corporations
after having. vatnly I attempted to,
force through extortionate railway,
heat, light, power and telephone:
rates, lind themselves blocked at
aevery turn by: Attorney General.
Lemke and the supreme court. At
the same time they realize that tbs.
prestige these Officials will grow
more each day with the people esand
SO the idea is to1recall them before,
they go too Tar In the ublics ses--s

In this business review of the

Sandlin who conducts a transfer and
storage business at the county seat.
Mr.. Sandlin has been in business for
years and has rendered satisfactory
service, building up large business.
Nothing is too heavy for him to
move. He does packing and abso-
lutely guarantees household goods
from the time the goods are taken
from the movers home until they are
delivered at the proper designation.
In this day Of Goth century effici-
ency, nothing has developed as RAPID
ly as the methods of transportation
Of household goods, Furniture and
merchandise. The time was when
each Of these articles had to be
moved by steam roads or by two
horse wagons. In this latter day,
motor trucks have been developed
with sufficient capacity IN carry
large quantities Of goods. The goods

Few cities of like size in the ma
ton can boost OF such modern and
-to.date Ford service. Not only
because they are authorized ss'es
and service station for the Ford AMI
Fordson, but because they render
most efficient service, this well.known
automobile company has become
known as the home Of the Ford and
Fordson in this section.
When this firm started in business
as the sales and service agents for
the Ford, by careful management
and good salcsmarship its business
grew 10 large proportions and fore
seeing the future Of the automobile
business IL is able 10 have these
modern service stations.
That the Ford is universally recog-
nized as the greatest motor value of
the age is the opinion Of the experts
as well as the casual buyer. For
service and reasonablcness of price
the Ford reigns supreme.
The Ford commercial truck has
come To be recognized as one Of the
indispensable features Of the latter
day business equipment and has
