I'll the jurisdiction matter has been
decided
The prohibition writ was issued at
the request of the Attorney Generals
office which contended that the dis
trict court writ sought by Attorney
Frank McAllister Of St. raul raised
the question of a conflict between the
executive and legislative departments
of the government and the judicial
department.
McAllister is seeking to have the
June lS primary and the July l6 cleo
tion called by Governor Preus de-
clared illegal on the ground that the
Governor had no authority to take
such action which would involve an
expense of $500,O00.
Arguments on the writ of prohb-
tion will not be undertaken before
noon. Justice Alvin Brown said al-
though the writ was made return

SPEAKS AS SHRINER

Mr.. Harding addressed the counci
as brother Shriner after he had re.
viewed the annual Shrine parade
from stand in front of the White
House.
sometimes there are false impress
slons about fraternal organizations
No man ever took the oath and sub
scribfd to the obligations with great
er watchfulness and care than | ex-
ercised in receiving the various rites
of Masonry and say it with due de-
liberation and without fear of break
ing faith have never encountered q
lesion, never witnessed an example
never heard an obligation uttered
which could not be openly proclaimed
to the world. More. if the lessons
taught were needed, the obligations
read were assumed, If the relation
ship urged were adopted, men would
be infinitely better in their human re.
lationship.
Must BE Just.
"Fraternities must be just il they
are to survive. And they must be
just to appeal to men in their fell
low relationship. Secret fraternity is
one thing, secret conspiracy is quite
another. This meeting today is an
.nobled fraternity.
"One must recognize that frater-
nifty has its abuses. Abuses in frater-

fully worth while is honest religion.
But fraternity deals with realities
and cures its own abuses.
"A president would not be ethical
if he related fraternal appeals to

will have said enough if suggest
that men lose their rights of frater-
nal hearing when they transgress the
law of the land"
81 wish sometimes we could have
fraternitics among nations, as it is
taught in America among men.
DO not seem to find sign grip and
pass word which affords an appealing
mystery to our relationship but the
insistent demand for just feeling the
respect Of right of others and the
ideals of brotherhoods recited in the
golden rule and the righteous fellow
relationship which every man shows
his God approves.
Under such reign Of fraternity
cruel human warfare will never
come again.
81 think I know the very soul of
masonry out of which the Shrine
has come to tighten our burdens and
add here to our daily lives. There Is
both quantity and quality in the no.
bility of the Shrine. 1t is more
than mere Masonic playground.
Conceived in tears the order hun
gered only for fair play, although We
need more play in our daily lives.

ASK BOARD TO
EMPLOY AGENT
FOR COUNTY
Delegation Appears Before
County Commissioners to
Make Request
ASK BIDS ON BONDS
Commissioners Probably to
Sell Bonds at First Meet
ing in July
ASK BIDS ON BONDS

Request for the employment of a
county agent in Burleigh county was
made before the board of county
commissioners this afternoon by
several speakers.
j. w. Haw, county agent leader Of
the state, was here to lay the matter
before the board. He said that he had
been informed that there was belief
on the part of some people that the
city of Bismarck vote had resulted
in the majority for county agent
in the election last fall, but that an
examination of the vote showed that
this was not SO. The county. outside
of Bismarck, voted for the agent
by big majority.
He said he understood that no
funds had been available for en-
ploying an agent the last spring. be-
cause no levy had been made, but
that the commissioners will be max
ing levies for the coming year in
July, and he asked that a levy be
made for county agent. The cost,
he said, amounted to about II cents
u quarter section of land.
He said the extension department
at the Agricultural College was not
trying to thrust an agent on the
county, but that they felt it was
their duty under the law to come be-
fore the board and ask that the law
be complied with The extension de-
partment, he said, offered the county
81 200 cash n year to apply on the
agents salary.
He asked permission to try 10
work out satisfactory arrangement
with the board to employ an agent
j. M. Thompson of Still, president
of the Farm Bureau, spoke in favor
of an agent. He said that there was
no question but that if a good agent
was obtained, the county would save
money. He said that farmers attend
ing one of the poultry culling de-
mOnstrations could save enough
money to pay the cost Of county
agent for many years, and that he
himself had saved money by getting
rid of poor producing poultry by
culling. He also said that a fomer
county agent held livestock judg-
ing contest in one section Of the
county, and that as a result of this
several young men went into raising
good stock, and had made money do
ing it.
Take up Bond Matter
The county commissioners, at their
meeting today, decided that if any
bonds are issued by the county, they
will be issued after bids are accepted
at the July meeting. At that time the
issues, if any, will be under the law
of the legislature of 1923, requiring
counties to 60 on a cash basis. The
resolution referred to the decision
of the district holding that no valid
contract had been entered into by
the commissioners for the sale of
bonds and the fact that better Of
fer had been made since to the board.
The previous proposed sale was $780,
600 to 100000 bonds at 5A percent,
par value

newed the offer of E. A. Hughes TO

was excessive. The present camp is
a desirable one for tourists, they
found upon inquiry among them, and
while it would be most desirable
from the standpoint Of local people
to have the camp in town or closer, it
was decided to improve the present
camp.
With the addition to the present
facilities of the camp, it is believed
Bismarck will offer as attractive q
tourist camp as is to be found on the
Red Trail.
The committee urges local citizens
generally to follow the lead estab-
lished by many in visiting the camp
frequently of evenings, to meet and
welcome the tourists who are camp
ing there.
