MAWAMUS CASE
IS DISMISSED
Court Holds That Geo,
Schwam Did Not Make
Valid Purchase of Tax
Certificates. :,

Judge NJ. J. Englert today denied
the petition Of George Schvam for a
mandamus order requiring County
Treasurer Charles Allen to deliver to
the plaintiff three tax certificates.
which Schwam purchased at the de-
inquent tax sale, but for which he
presented no money until after the
wne Of the property had paid the
taxes and secured the certificates in
question.
The case was dismissed on the
grounds that the plaintiff did no,
make a valid purchase in that he did
not tender money until some time aft
er the close OF the sale.
Gates at the December 81 sale, blu,
after he had done go. the owner of the
property appeared u the treasurcr's
office to pay the taxes. Inasmuch as
it vas the first money offered, the
county treasurer accepted it and gave
over the certificates. Later, Mr..
Schwam appeared for the certificates,
but could not obtain them. He later
served notice on the treasurer, de-
manding that the certificates be
turned over to him by virtue of the
involved in the First National bank
to the credit of the county.
The order was ignored. whereupon
Harry Schwam, counsel for Mr.
Schwa1n, asked the court for a per-
emptory writ Of mandamus. This was
denied, but the judge issued an order
to show couse. Arguments On the Pc.
tition were not held until today, and
Immediately after hearing them Judge
Englert dismissed the order.

It il expected that the. meeting Of
the Polk county commissioners. to pc
held Saturday will be somewhat IN
the nature OF q debate as 1t Is under
stood that q disagreement has arisen
amonE the commissioners n regard to
the method of conducting the road
work in the county. Unless the con.
troversy IL settled. road work prob
ably will be seriously impeded dur
ing the coming year. it was said.
At a previous meeting of the COM
m~issioners. it was decided to bond
Polk county for $25o.0o0 to be used
for road work under the provisions OF
the "Babcock" amendment. /.
To date $11o.o 900 in bonds Of this
amount have been issued and tho
state highway commission is now urE-
ing the county commissioners to issue
bonds for the rest. Under The pres
ent provisions counties expanding
money for roads which have or Will
be DESIGNATED as state highways. Will
be reimbursed by the state. The COM
missioners contend that they have no
guarantee that the roads on which
work has or will be done. will be 50
designated and hence hesitate to Is
aue bonds.

EARLY SPRING.
0PTDMlSIS SAY
Grounding Couldn't See
Shadow Today; Blizzard
and Cold Continue.

Despite the fact that Grand Forks
and the entire northwest are in the
grip of the worst blizzard of the sea-
son, the optimists believe that an early
spring is due. This belief gained
foundation after he optimists arose
this morning and found that the
ground hog could not see the shadow
blizzard and ventured out.
This Is ground hog day and. accord
ing to the old superstition, the day on
which the ground hog makes his first
appearance after a long winter nap.
If he cannot see his shadow 1t Is be-
lieved that he stays out and sprtng
gets on the way early.
A north gale, registering 81 miles
an hour at the university weather
station, whipped the heavy snow into
q real old time blizzard Wednesday
night and a drop in the temperature
made the atmosphere decidedly un-
pleasant. Early this afternoon there
was no indication of the storm sub
siding here, although more settled
weather is promised. The prediction
for today promised generally fair
weather in the western part of the
state, with a somewhat unsettled con-
dition in the east portion for tonight
and Friday. A rise in temperature
also was predicted for h western
part of the state.
Street car service which became
crippled shortly after 6 o'clock We'd
nesday night, remained more or less
crippled up to oon today and cars
on the university end of h a line did
not run during the early part OF the
lay. Snow plows worked on the
tracks in an effort to clear them so
that normal traffic could be resumed.
Trains coming into Grand Forks
have not been seriously delayed as a
result Of the storm. The west bound
passenger over the Great Northern
was an hour and ten minutes late IN
coming in. this morning and other
trains averaged about an hour late
On their regular schedule today.
During Tuesday night and Wednes-
day, up to Z p. m, nine inches OF snow
fell. according to Prof. Howard
Simpson, in charge Of the federal
weather station at the university.
During Wednesday night, however.
though much snow was drifting and
blowing, only a slight fall was regis
tered.
Street Commissioner B. O. sorbo
has a stan of men at work clearing
the down town streets and h snow
plows have been kept out in an emo
to make the walks passable for the
pedestrians who venture out.
Reports reaching here indicate that
the storm Is general throughout the
northwest.

DELICIOUS o

If you work sitting at a desk all day, you should eat more
meat than the man who saws wood or carried a hod.
Who says so? DR.. Thomas NJ. Carpenter, physiological
chemist Of a Boston nutrition laboratory.
The desk worker, Carpenter says, needs more meat to
keep him warm. Thus he artifcially secures the necessary
heat which the hod-carrier and woodsawer generate by mus
cular effort.
The Carpenter line of thought is that food, in the last
analysis, bears the same relation to the body that coal does
to a furnace. Heat the ultimate object.
Can a stenographer live on chocolate sundaes and candy! !
Some of them come close to demonstrating it in the affirma-
p, tive.
Back of all this is heavy science, expounded by DIR. Car
penter, as follows:
A normal stenographer, during the course of a day, uses
up 2222 calories. That is the average. The girl who types
attacks the keys like a chicken picking up corn, and accord
ingly should eat less.
Gum chewing uses up a terrific amount Of energy, which
REQUIRES heavier eating than in the case OF a chicle abstainer.
A lunch consisting of a chocolate sundae and some candy,
furnishes the typist 1900 calories, or more than a third as
much as a Woodworking carpenter requires daily.
Topping off this interesting discourse, DR.. Carpenter fig
ures scientifically that a sundae, if thoroughly absorbed by
the system, has a calorifc heating power sufficient to raise a
ton of coal three stories.
While it might be wise for people without cast-iron stom-
achs to take some of this food science with a grain of salt, it
recently was expounded as gospel by DIR. Carpenter before the
Harvard Medical School
The important fact is that scientists are finally begin
ming to get at "original truth in the matter of diet, and that
some of the accepted notions about food values may be due
for an explosion.
Until the investigation is nearer completion, a good aver
. age rule is to keep in mind the old saying that most OF us dig
our graves with our teeth.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-04-26
KEEP BRIDGE FREE OF SCANDAL

1t is to be hoped that there is to be no scandal over the
building Of the new Amboy bridge.
The spending of something like S4,0 900 of public
funds on a single structure is a great responsibility. 1t is
possible to make or break the reputation of those upon
whom this responsibility rests.
UP until a few days ago it was generally understood
that the plans for the bridge were practically completed, at
least it was supposed to have been designed and that sound
'ings had been taken in the river bed to Judge the character
of the foundations for the piers.
This, apparently, was the understanding of Commits
sioner Paddock, of Newark, who opposed hiring an addition
al engineer for other than services as consulting engineer.
It is rather surprising, to say the least, that at this late date,
when it was supposed that everything was in readiness to
proceed with the actual letting of the contracts, to have the
State Highway Commission begin to talk about designing the
structure, which is the very first thing to be considered.
The recognized fee for a designing and consulting en-
gineer, according TO standards of the American Society of
Civil Engineers, is six per cent. of the contract. This would
mean that the engineer would receive something like a quar-
ter of a million dollars for his services alone, with the de-
signing part of the services already performed unless the
work done by Charles A. Mead, the bridge engineer of the
State Highway Department, is to be thrown away.
Naturally, in a work of this kind engineering skill will
play an important part and the state is entitled to the best
services obtainable. Whatever is done, however, let it be
.olean. open and above board. There ought not to be the
slightest faint Of suspicion anywhere.
