of patronage when they brought their
products in.

a bountiful supply of fresh farm, gar
den and kitchen products of wide va

Case Appealed From
Burleigh Will Test
Out Cancellation Law

Bismarck, N. D., May 31.-North
Dakota's board of Cancellation law
will be tested as to it's legality and
constitutionality before the state
supreme court through the filing of
an appeal from the Burleigh county
court.
Suit was brought by a local tailor
for the collection of promissory
note for $50. The attorneys for the
defense appeared before Judge Nues-
sic and claimed that-the tailor was
not entitled to bring suit because he
had not filed in any court the certif-
cate of conciliator, showing that an
attempt had been made to collect the
money. On this showing Judge Nues-
sic dismissed the suit.
The tailor, through his attorneys,
has appealed to the supreme court
charging that Judge Nuessls was in
error in dismissing the case, and the
trial of the case will establish the
standing of the Cancellation law.

fish what will be known as the grain

and measurers departments will be
moved from Fargo to Bismack as soon
as possible. Chairman Milhollan said
Mr.. Lund, successor of w. c. Palmer,
of the state agricultural college, who
was chief grain inspector under the
grain grading act which was held I'M
constitutional by the supreme court of
the United States. Since that decision
Mr.. Palmer has continued to head the
department temporarily established by
the railroad commission under a stat
ute revived as result of the decision
qualifying the grain grading act,
without pay. The elevator accounting
department recently was moved to
Bismarck. ]. I. Brady will continue as
head of this department, and an in
spector of weights and measures will
he appointed.

road commission, study of the adj
ADMINISTRATION of the grain grading act

partment, it was said, would follow an

with elevator accounting methods 50
that they can both inspect grain and
the accounts of elevators, it was said
All inspectors will be required to OBJ
tain federal license, it was said. The
consolidation order may reduce the
number of persons heretofore employ.
ed in this work.
