U.S.. DEPARTMENT.
CONSIDERS FOR 7.
To Decide On Need For Future
Military Use

The War Department still has un-
der consideration the question Of
whether or not Fort Lincoln will be
needed in future military develop
ment, according to information re-
ceived by the Bismarck Commercial
Club. The question of converting the
fort into state institution or into
rehabilitation hospital for wounded
soldiers has been taken up with the
War Department informally.
Local people believe the fort would
be an especially fine place as rehabi-
litation hospital. for wounded ex-ser-
vice men.
1t is held unlikely that the govern
ment will take any steps toward turn
ing the fort over to the state for use
as a state institution without legisla-
tive action.

SUPR EME COURT
ASKED TO RULE.
ON HAIL MATTER
Construction of Law is Held Ne
<cessary Before Sale Of
Warrants Can Be Made

Two questions involving construc-
ton Ct the state hail insurance law
today were certified to the supreme
cCult by District Judge ]. A. Cpffey
for the purpose of obtaining an early
construction OF the law to aid in dis
posing Of hail warrants to investors
outside the state.
The questions are: Are the hail
warrants negotiable or nom negotiable
and are they payable ratably out of
the fund collected for the year OF their
payment, and il the fund is insuff1ci-
ent to pay in full should the warrants
be pro rated.
The opinion of Judge Coffey is that
the warrants are not negotiable and
that they are payable in full and
should not be pro rated.
The order of Judge Coffey certifying
the matter to the supreme court states
the reasons therefor as follows:
And these questions are hereby
certified to the supreme court of the
state of North Dakota for speedy de-
termination and in the exercise of its
discretion hereby finds, as reason
fol- said certifcation that many hail
warrants in the aggregate sum of up
wards of thousands of dollars issued
by the State of North Dakota, are still
unpaid; that the farmers to whom
these warrants were issued are finan-
cially unable to carry the same That
in the effort to sell said hail warrants
legal objection has been raised to the
validity thereof, by attorneys of ma
tional repute who demand that the
supreme court of North Dakota pass
upon these two questions That after
said decision it will be easier to dis
pose of said warrants in the money
markets of the country. That. the
financial condition of the farmers of
the state of North Dakota is such that
the speediest possible decision upon
: this loint should be reached"
The order was made in case
brought by the First National Bank
of Halstead, Minn., against S. A. Ols-
: ness, commissioner of insurance, and
D. c. Roindexter, auditor of state, in
which the bank, sought to enforce pay
ment of crop mortgage from the hail
indemnity due. the mortgage.

TO BE STARTED
WITHOUT DELAY
Officers of Association Meet
Here and Decide Upon
Course of Procedure
TO BUY GOOD CATTLE
Arrangements Made to Send
Representatives to Dairy Cen
ter to Purchase HOlsteins

cult will be put into immediate oper-
alton.
This was decided upon at meeting
held last evening in Bismarck by Of

carloads of good grade Holsteins and
some registered Holstein heifers, per-
!haps some sires. They will be dis
tributed among members. of the cir
cult who purchase them and others
who desire to obtain good cows.
Burton Havens, of Lark, N. D., has
been employed as superintendent of
the circuit, to begin his work very
soon.
Mr.. Morgan has gone into the dairy
centers OF Wisconsin recently to plr-
chase carloads of cattle for farmers
in various parts of the state. Be-
cause of shortage of feed in Wiscon-
sin some very advantageous prices
have been obtained, it is said. Per-
sons who desire to purchase cattle
through Mr.. Morgan are asked to
notify the Bismarck Commercial Club,
which will get in touch with the Of
ficers of the circuit It is desired to
complete the list of purchasers in the
very near future. It is not necessary
to be member of the circuit in order
to purchase through Mr.. Morgan.
Mr.. Havens, who will be superin-
tendent of the circuit is a dairy ex-
pert and had charge of the Agricultur-
al College Dairy herd. His father is a
member of the New Salem Holstein
circuit which has attracted so much
favorable attention. He will visit
herds OF all members OF the associa-
tion and conduct regular tests of pro-
ductiOn.
