CUTTING Children's Ears.

II is a senseless practice TO cut
children's ears, and arises from q fool
ish superstition. Many years ago 1t
was thought that backward children
could be cured by making an incision
In a certain part of their ears. The
belief exists in some parts of the coun-
try today, the operation being per-
formed usually by woman at the
change of the moon. Needless TO say,
It results only in pain and misery for
the child.-London Tit-TAts.

WOMAN JUDGE NOT
TO TAKE PLACE ON
COMMON PLEAS COURT

Cleveland, O.. Jan. 15.-Declaring
in her opinion that because she is un-
married, she could not give maximum
services in the proposed family rela-
tons branch of common pleas court,
Judge Florence z. Allen, the only wo-
man in Ohio to hold a. common pleas
bench, declined to permit her name
to be suggested for appointment to
that branch.
"Nly experience as assistant county
prosecutor had peculiarly fitted me for
work in the civil and criminal courts
and this experience would be wasted

family court" Judge Allen declared.
The tentative plan of the proposed
new branch calls for one central court.

MAY not GET
REPORT ON THE.
LIST-W0C CASE
Leaguers Will Admit Irreg-
ularities in Election if
Wog Can Hold Seat.
lBx stan Correspondent }

Bismarck, ID. Jan. 15.-Members
of the senate elections committee we're
doubtful today as to whether or not
the committees report on the list
Wog contest case would be presented
to the senate this afternoon. The diff
ficulty seems to be that the league
members. while determined TO have
Wog retain his seat, are having a
hard time to square such action with
the decision made two years ago in
the Sargent contest, when the fact
that the doors OF polling place were
fastened shut while the votes were
being counted, was held sufficient to
disqualify the independent candidates.
1t was admitted at the time that
this was mere technicality. Now
the independent members of the COM
mittee take the position that the evil
dence in the present contest shows
clearly that the law was violated in
three, Billings county precincts and
that the votes in these precincts
should therefore be thrown out. This
would give List a majority.
The league members. are willing to
admit Irregularities and censure the
election officials. it is said, il the in
dependents will sign the majority re-
port recommending that Wog retain
his seat. and are bending their efforts
in that direction.

New York. Jan. 15.--New York
business men in the wholesale dry
goods and allied lines are promoting
a convention of retail merchants hand

held al the Hotel Pennsylvania here
during the week of January "a.

bers that If the retailer will 81: down

Confidence is felt tina, an inter-
change OF views will dispel the notion
prevalent among retailers that there
still is to be Il substantial drop in
prices. Already. it is said prices Of
many items Of merchandise are back
to pre-war figures, and in some cases.

I'm portant Reports
Expected Next Week
BY The Legislature
State Budget Board Report And Results OF Audit OF The
1 North Dakota Bank And Other Industries Are
Expected To Be Turned In.

Bismarck, n. D., Jan. .l5.-Two im-
portant reports are expected next
week by the state legislature. These
are the report of the state budget
board and the report Of the audit OF
the Bank of North Dakota and other
state enterprises.
The budget boards report is ex-
xpected early in the week. and its ar
rival will make it possible for the
legislature to begin the consideration
of appropriations in earnest.
No definite information has been
received as to when the report on the
audit of the Bank OF North Dakota
and the state industries>,may be ex-
pected. 1t is hoped. however. that it
will be here during the coming week
and its arrival is expected to assist
greatly in clearing the air and giving
the lawmakers some definite knowl-
edge as to the situation in the state.
Only Two Passed.
UP to Friday night only two bills
had been passed by the senate and
messaged7 to the house. No bills had
been passed by the house. Thirty -one
measures had been introduced In the
house and nineteen in the senate.
The fact Of the matter is that both
sides feel that the audit report is the
crucial point Of the session, and there
is little inclination in either the league
or Independent camp to take much
definite action until its contents are
known.
The leaguers say they are confident
Of the manner in which the whole
league industrial program has been
carried out up to date. The independ-
ents are making no predictions but
are waiting to see the report.
In addition to these features of the
situation is the fact that practical
deadlock appears to exist. There is
majority in the senate, or the inde-
pendent majority in the house will
give way on any essential points. Also
behind the senate stands the veto
power of the governor, which will, OF
course, be exerted in favor of the
league should the occasion arise.
For the first few days of the ses-
sion there were many rumors of de-
fections from one camp or the other
but it now begins to look as though
the lines were definitely drawn for
the remainder Of the; session unless
some unforeseen contingency comes
up which. may make radical change
1t fs barely possible that the report
of the audit of state enterprises may
accomplish this.\
AS 1t stands at present the league
has its 40 votes in the senate. to the
independents 4S:> There is also the
vote of Lieutenant Governor. Wood

Village Claims to Have sunkacnt

tBy stan Correspondent. }

Bismarck, n. d., Jan. 15.-Un1ess
the village of Napoleon, in Logan
county, can reach some sort of an
agreement with the Bank of North
Dakota relative to having its checks
honored, it will be without lights.
At least this is the tenor of a letter
received by M. w. Kelly. representa-
tive of Logan county in the lower
house and presented by him in the
house. The letter was referred to the
state affairs committee. on motion of
representative Dell Patterson Of Rem
Vile county.
The text Of. the letter, which is self
explanatory. follows:
The Letter.
Napoleon, n. D., Jan. 12,, 1921.
Hon: M. w. Kelly, Bismarck. N. D.
Dear Mr.. Kelly:-I am enclosing
herewith check No. so, dram by the
treasurer Of the village of Napoleon
for $1l1.18 in favor of the Napoleon
Light. Heat and Power company OF
this place. This check was given as
part payment Of the villages account
with the power company and you viii
notice that payment has been refused
by the Bank of North Dakota with, the
notation: Payment refused because
Illegally drawn and without authority
OF law" Egt-4
The Power company has called on
the village to make this check good.
The trustees refuse to make any fur
ther settlement, claiming that they
have a sufficient balance on deposit
with the Bank of North Dakota to
cover this check
OF course the Power company will
be compelled to cut the wire unless
the check is made good and before
taking such action. | wish. if possible,
YOU would look into this matter with
the view Of ascertai1ling whether or
not this check is Illegally drawn, etc
Other banks would be forced to
close their doors if they attempted to
operate institutions in this way, and it
would seem that this is fit subject
for the legislature to consider.
Yours very truly,
The Napoleon Light and Heat Co.
