Rogers said that even Noah, who was

RICHARDSON A
CANDIDATE FOR
SUPREME COURT

Fargo, N. D., May 31.-Seth Rich
ardson of Fargo has been brought into
the field as Nonpartisan league cam
didate for justice of the supreme
court.
His entrance, it is understood, was
forced upon the league state COM
mittee by the maneuver of Bismarck
Nonpartisans who began the circula-
ton of petitions nominating VIM.
Lemke for the court, the objective of
the circulators of the petitions being
to force action on the part of the
league committee.
Announcement of the Richardson
candidacy is to the effect that he was
selected to succeed Geo. Wallace on
the ticket. The Wallace withdraw
still leaves a vacancy on the league
court ticket, as R. H. Grace has de-
clined to run for reelection though
Endorsed by the league.
William Lemke authorizes the state
ment that he is not candidate for
justice Of the supreme court. He says
in an interview given to the official
paper of the Nonpartisan league that
he had been beseached by Hundreds
Of people among whom were many
l. V. AS and former political oppon-
ents to become a candidate for JUS
tice," but that he could not see his
way clear to give his consent,
Nh. Len,ke says that he feels conf
dent that there will be enough candi-
dates to the supreme court to prevent
the election of Sveinbjorn Johnson to
the bench.

MINOT POLICE
DISMISSED AT
TER WILD DRIVE

Minot, N. D., May 31.-Following a
wild automobile ride at four o'clock
Monday morning, which resulted in
the knocking down white way lamp
post and damage to the First Intelna-
tional Bank building, Patrolmen Bron-
son and Peoples, occupants Of the
automobile, have been dismissed from
the police force by Police Commissio-
ner Otto Gross, and Patrolman, En-
anul, owner of the car, has been given
three weeks vacation.
Bronson and Peoples are said to
have been driving rapidly south on
Main Street and failed to take the
turn. The big Hudson Super Six in
which they were riding ran up onto the
side walk in front of the Citizens
bank, knocking down the white way
lamp post. The car served across the
street diogonally and came to a halt
after it failed to move the First In
ternational bank building. The frame
of the car struck the bank with terrific
force, knocking out brig or two and
the jar broke a plate glass window.
The frame of the Hudson was bent
and the front axle was sprung. The
officers were not injured.
The damage done to the lamp post
and the bank building is estimated at
$4,000. The car is being held at a
local garage by order Of Police Com
missioner Gross until the amount is
paid.

E. Myher, who conducts a general
store at Hampden, is in the city a few
days this week with Mrs. Myhre, who
is taking treatments at local hospital
for users of the stomach. Mr.. Myhre
is on old timer in the mercantile bust
ness and has always been able to
hold his own with the best Of them
under all conditions. For some
months he conducted two stores, one
at Niobe, N. D., and oneat Hamp-
den, but last fall closed the store
at Niobe, N. D., and one at Hamp-
tire time and attention to the Hamp
den store where he has built up quite
an extensive trade both among the
people living in Hampden as we'll as
the farmers in the surrounding terri
tory. He tells The World that he
finds business picking up right along
as each month passes, and opines by
next fall everything will be pretty
much down to normal again in a bust
ness way.
All dogs, no matter what their name
or breed, will have to wear 1872? city
license tags forthwith, or they will
be in mighty bad with Chief Of Police
Pete Timboe. The chief has already
received his new supply of licensetags,
and has disposed of number of them
to people who insist on keepink can
ines in the city. The tags are beng
sold at the city hall by the chief
at the rate of S1.00 for males and
$500 for females. And talking about
dogs, Chief Timboe tells The World
that only a few years ago mostly
every householder in the city owned
dog and paid the license fee FOR the
privilege of keeping him, but as each
year passes the dogs are becoming
less popular and more Of them are
being disposed of. Some six Or eight
years ago. Mr.. Timboe sold at high as
800 dog licenses, but last year only 70
were sold, and it looks as though
this number might be even further re-
duced this year.

PERFECTED CLUTCH
ON STUDEBAkER CARS

One OF the most notable advances
made by modern cars has been in the
direction of easier and more quite OPP
GRAFTON. The prevalence of women
and even children in their upper
teens as drives Of cars, is perhaps
the best testimonial of the great
strides that have been made by auto
mobile engineers along these lines.
Another essential was the possess
sion OF a box Of matches to light the
gas lamps at night. There was also
the inconvenience of gear shifting,
with the clutch pedal requiring con-
siderable pressure and levers hard to
manipulate. In short, driving car
was strictly mans job.
Electric startres and lights, instru-
ment boards, cord tires and particu
larly, easy gear shifting revolutionized
things, until today it is not only the
usual thing to see woman at the
wheel of a car, but women have be-
come actually as proficient as men in
driving automobiles.
The pioneering efforts of Stude-
baker engineers have been conspicu-
ously along the lines of making Stude-
baker cars easy for even child to
handle, and designing them as nearly
"fool-proof" as possible. The latest
innovation is the new perfected type
OF clutch which is feature of the
new Studebaker cars. This clutch
makes for extremely easy and quiet
gear shifting. " lis of the single
plate, dry disc type in which the
driven members is single spides ro-
tating between two rings of friction
material. Nine seperate springs
