FURTHER ACTION
IN GRAIN GRADING
CASE UNDECIDED

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 28-(Spec-
iaD-What. further action the state
of North Dakota will take in the
grain grading cases will lbe decided
by Seth Richardson, Of Fargo, spec
ial assistant Attorney-General in the
cases, it was said today by Attorney
General Sveinbjorn Johnson.
Following receipt OF word that the
supreme court had decided against
North Dakota in the case originally
instituted by the \, Farmers Grain
Company, of Embden, N. Oak, Mr..
Richardson asking him to look into
other pending matters to protect
the states, interests. Because Mr..
Johnson was an attorney in the ac-
tion Of the grain company, he con-
tinued Mr.. Richardson as special as
sistant attorney-general.
There is the case of the Homer
Farmers Elevator Company against
the state pending in the supreme
court of the United States in which
virtually the same questions are rails
ed. Until the text Of the opinion of
the supreme court in the Embden
case has been considered by attor-
news, it is not certain just what may
be the disposition of this case or
what further action may be taken.
One Of the results of the decision
of the supreme court, according to
opinion expressed at the state rail-
road commission offices, will be to
tranfer the licensing and inspection
of grain elevators back to the state
railroad and warehouse commission.
The licensing and inspection was
transferred from this body to the
state inspector at the Agricultural
College under the grain grading act.
The grain grading act was enacted
by a Nonpartisan league legislature
and great benefits were claimed to
have Injured to the farmers of the
state under it, altho this claim was
disputed by many.

ACT ENDS AGE-OLD ENMITI
Students of History See Significance
in Recent Move of the Dean
of Westminster.

There is more than meets the eye
in the announcement that the dean
of Westminster has assigned partic-
ular stall on the north side of the
chair for the use Of the mayor Of
Westminster whenever he visits the
abbey in either a public or private
capacity. The deans kindly act re-
moves another obstacle to the full
friendship which should exist in West
minister between the ecclesiastical and
the civic authorities. Centuries ago
there was no love lost between them.
The abbey authorities were powerful
body; the citizens of Westminster
were struggling to be free, in mu-
nicipal sense. It was the cellarer Of
the abbey who built the Gatehouse
prison late in the Fourteenth century
and installed the abbey janitor as its
keeper. 1t was the abbot who had GUS
tody Of ak prisoners captured within
the liberties. st was the abbot who,
when debts were owing to the monas-
terry, did not recover them by ordinary
process Of law, but sent out his ''com-
mon pressers" to distrain on the
debtors goods. When Bryan Talbot,
a gentleman by birth, fell into ar
rears with his rent, he had to sur
render his large bedsted legged" his
'litill old Ship Chest" his water-tub
and hts "blew pylyan for woman"
Not until the middle Of the Fifteenth
century did lf-government manifest
itself in society Of citizens, and that
is a long way from the gift to the
mayor of stall in the abbey.--Chris-
tan Science Monitor.

CALL TUESDAY UNLUCKY DAY
Members of the Greek Church Have
Reasons to Look Upon 1t With
Misgivings.

To most persons of western tradi-
ton Friday is more or less considered
to be an unlucky day. Many Of them
prefer not to say this straight out,
but they are bit wary Of starting
any large enterprise on a Friday. The
idea may come from the fact that for
so many people Friday is held as a
fast day and great interest in purely
secular pursuits should be held some
what in allegiance. The old Morse peas
antry give different explanation.
ITO begin big thing On a Friday
leads to a great temptation to break
the Sabbath" is the way one old grand
mother puts it.
To most members of the Greek
church it is not Friday, but Tuesday
that Is the most unlucky day. The
reason is clearcut and historical, for
it was on this day that-a Tuesday, in
1453-Constantinople was lost to the
eastern empire and passed under the
control of the Turks.

1t is not generally known, but there
are many of the leading -personages of
the last century whose voices will
never die. These are records which
are part of the Edison collection at
Menlo Park, N. J. When the Edison
machine for reproducing speech was
perfected, the inventor sent a repre-
sentative around the world for the
purpose of interviewing famous people
and persuading them to speak into a
monograph.
Thus, Gladstone can be heard con-
graduating Edison on his wonderful
inventive genius. King Edward eX-
presses his establishment and admira-
ton at being able to hear voices repro
duced by a machine. Tennyson reads
a verse from one Of his poems. Brown
ing tries to recite and fails. Among
others, Cardinal Manning, the duke OF
Clarence, Lord Salisbury and the duke
of Cambridge contributed to this won
derful collection, which cost a great
deal Of money.

cal decalogue for women Her car
dinal principle as expressed in her
second commandment is that women

party. Briefly her commandments are:
/. Women must not remain in old
ruts, but must press forward.
2. Party government is necessary
TO awaken responsibility and get
things done. A free lance gets no
where.
& We must make organization a
means to an end, and never an end in
itself.
4. We should unite with all forces
Of good government to get rid of the
evil In the world and not waste our
energy scrapping over nonessentials.

right, then support it intellectually.
