SPECIALIST AIDS
IN BUYING HERDS

Fargo, N. D.-Dont take chances
on buying blue roans, strawberry ro-
ans, or red, white and yellow cows
that spectators from other states
have been buying in some districts of
Wisconsin, for resale to farmers de-
string to enter the dairy indsutry, is
the advice of Max Morgan, extern
sion dairy specialist, Agricultural
College, after returning from buy
ing trip for several North Dakota
communities. Cows Of this description
were in one carload which Mr.. Nor
gan saw Missouri speculator load
out. D.,
Mr.. Morgan is devoting his time to
purchasing good grade cows from the
dairy centers for North Dakota farm
ers, without cost to the farmers ex-
cept travelling expenses, which
amounts to about $3.50 per cow pur-
chased. He selects cows Of good dairy
types, from herds that have four year
cow testing records, and that have
used purebred sires for 20 years, in
some cases. The cows are tubercular
tested. fl. s"
Good COWS are increasingly hard to
secure, Mr.. Morgan finds as there is
an increase of interest in dairy farm
ing in many sections. Eight buyers
from four other states stayed at the
same hotel during a recent trip. The
increased demand for stock has ad-
vanced prices $40. to $500 a head.

ERTRESvAAG PRAISED

According to Izzy Levene, the vet
eran coach and one of the greatest
wingmen ever developed at Pennsyl-
vania, Carl Ertresvaag played the
game of his life and one worthy of all
American mention against Dartmouth.
"For all around work and perfect
ness in line play, Ertresvaaag played
one Of the greatest games have ever
seen Penn end play. He toppled over
the terrific interference Of Dartmouth
time and again, made tackles that
seemed at times impossible and
caught passes that were simply great.
"To think that man crippled and
bruised as Ertie was before that game
could get down the field quick enough
to catch the receiver Of punt makes
me say once again that his playing
was absolutely spectacular. I cannot
say too much for this boy, not that I
want to rate him above any Of our
other ends, but he really played the
kind Of game that / would like to
see every Penn end play" Phila-
delphia Public Ledger.

BRING, IN $50 POUND DEER

Monte Woods and J. J. Krogen num-
bered among the Bottineau big game
hunters to "take to the mountains" on
Monday, Nov. 21st, and the two re-
turned about o'clock Monday after
noon with $50 pound buck deer shot
by Chief Woods. After the animal
was dressed he tipped the scales at 210
pounds and according to old hunters
is believed to be one of the largest of
his kind in the state. Up to the time
of going to press we have heard of no
one else succeeding in getting deer.

NEW SENSATION BEING
EXPERIENCED BY MANY

The new preparation which drug
gists are selling so much Of recently
and known as Garren's Tonic, is Gre
ating new sensations every day for
people who had been run down, nerv-
GUS, thin and never really enjoyed a
minute of their lives before now.
It is actually making new people
out of human wrecks as fast as such
people are finding out the wonderful
quick results they can get by taking
it.
Many people who rarely knew q
happy, joyous moment; who seldom
felt the thrills that cause laughter;
who never could see the fun which
other folks seem to get out Of the
merest incident; "wall flowers" etc.,
are proving a revelation to their ac-
quaintences who never believed there
could be such transformations.
This is not unusual to thase who
know the reason for it. You can't be
happy and see the bright side Of life
as long as you are tide down by some
serious trouble somewhere IN your
precious system Headaches, nervous
ness, sallow complexions, lack Of en-
ergy and exhaustion with the least
exertion are unmistakab1e signs that
you are not able to be happy like
other folks, and you can't be until
you get rid Of the cause Of those signs.
That's the reason arren's Tonic is 50
widely sold and praised everywhere
It is putting iron and vitamines into
the thin, waterJ blood Of such folks
and thereby strengthening their ner-
yes and feeding vitality to their with
cred tissues. This gives them life, en-
ergy and robust health. Then they see
why their friends enjoy themselves
and they too have the incentive TO JOIN
In the pleasures and worth while
things Of life.

RECALL ELECTION LEGAL SAYS NORTH
DAKOTA SUPREME court YESTERDAY

fraud il getting signatures to the pc
titions is an objectionable insult that
not even the reasonable Nonpartisan
will soon forget. " ..- +
The election Of October 20, sought
to be nullified by these proceedings
resulted in the recall Of Governor
Lynn ]. Frazier, Attorney General
lillian Lemke and John N. Hagan COM
missioner Of agriculture and labor
supported by the Nonpartisan League
and the election Of their Independent
opponents.
Stupendous Frauds Sinclair Says
seThe most stupendous fraud that
has ever been unearthed in an election
contest in the United States, has been
discovered from the Investigation that
has been conducted into the legality o1
the recall petitions by the committee
of Taxpayers" declared E. H. Sinklel
in his argument to the supreme court
today upon the petition for an injunc-
tion against the canvassing board to
restrain it from canvassing the re.
turns Of the recall election, which in
junction is asked by taxpayers of the
state. ts
esMen who have been dead for years
signed the petitions, persons who dc
not reside in North Dakota are on
these petitions by the hundreds and
many signatures have been forged to
petitions" said Mr.. Sinkler.
Many Illegal Signatures
Exclusive Of persons who signed
the petitions who did not vote for gov
ernor in the election held in November
1920, which number amounts to more
than 10000 names, the petitions and
affidavits presented show that the du-
plicate, forged and other illegal sigma
lures total enough names to make the
recall petitions void and the election
invalid and this does not take into
consideration the signatures OF per-
sons who are not citizens Of the
state," he declared.
i Since the petitions were filed today
a large number Of affidavits have been
received by the committee pressing
the suit to test the legality Of the re-
call election. Affidavits received from
Mott, New England; Williston and
Ray, alone show approximately 15C
duplicates and other Illegal signatures
it is said. %
xsI have not been able to find a pre-.
cinct in the state without it's quota o1
duplicate and illegal signatures" said
r. w. Frazier.
MAY DECIDE TOMORROW :,
After hearing argument of counse
for the committee of taxpayers, thu
supreme court asked counsel for ped'
TONERS to submit authorities and tool
the matter under advisement until to-

Bismarck, N. d. Nov. 21-The SUI
preme court Of north Dakota late to-
day took under consideration the petit
tion Of five taxpayers for an order
temporarily restraining the state can
vassing board from canvassing the re-
call election ballots on Wednesday.
Attorneys for the taxpayers seeking
to nullify the election asked the court
to hear them tomorrow but the court
decided upon an immediate hearing
and after presentation Of the case by
S. e. Ellsworth, permitted Ellsworth
to file citation Of additional authori-
ties tomorrow.
The petitioners asked that the recall
which resulted in the election of r. A.
Nestos as governor, Sveinbjorn john
son, attorney general and Joseph A.
Kitchen, commissioner of agriculture
and labor, be nullified on the ground
that there was not sufficient number
Of valid signatures to the petitions to
obain such an election.
Claim Only $4,000 Voted 1920 Election
They also alleged that "the number
of signatures, but once counted, to
said purported petitions of qualified
electors Of said state, who voted at. the
election in November 1920 for COVER
nor, did not exceed the number Of co.
900" and that the secretary Of state
in holding said petitions sufficient
'acted mistakenly, unlawfully and
fraudulently," and that he included in
his count such signatures as part of
the number of 68,S82 necessary to au-
thorize the calling of said election the
of more than $4,000 who
were not qualified electors and who
did not, as such, participate in the
state election held in November 1920
and who had subscribed said petitions
two or more times"
An affidavit by George Laird, head
Of the tax payers committee which in
stituted the election suit, said that
from an investigation it was ascer-
tanned 'tthat more than 5000 persons
have signed their names twice upon
said petitions and that if said names
were not signed by the said persons
themselves, same were forged and
that "more than 10000 persons have
signed the recall petitions who did not
vote for governor at the general cleo
tion Of 1920" and that amore than
900 persons have signed the said Pc
titions who were not citizens Of the
state.
Names of Dead Persons on Petitions
He further alleged that ION the
same petitions appear the names Of
a large number Of persons who had
been dead for a long time prior to
the time their signatures were pur-
ported to have been affixed" and that
''those who circulated the said petit
tions knew that the said names Of such
dead men were affixed" He alleged
that "the original petitions show on
theif face that the names Of as many
as 20 persons have been signed by the
same individual and in the same hand
writing"
During discussion before the court,
Justice Robinson declared that it was
entirely legal for persons who did not
vote for governor in 1920 to sign the
petition.
Theodore Nelson, campaign mana
ger for Mr.. Nestos, in statement this
afternoon said:
Insult Says tTw0-Bit
The 1000 or more people who cir
culated the recall petitions in their re-
spective communities are honorable
