Linton, N. D., Oct. 4.-The EN-.
mons county commission has decid-
ed to resist payment of $4,000 award
ed by the North Dakota compens So
ton board in favor of B. H. Tong, as
compensation for injuries alleged to
have been received by him in an auto
accident Aug. %, 1922, while he was
motoring to Bismarck on business in
his capacity as Emmons county en-
gineer.
The board has instructed States
Attorney Charles Coventry to take
such steps as he deems necessary to
protect the county's interest and to
employ additional counsel if needed.
Petition has been filed with the
state compensation board asking re-
hearing on the ground that the
award is excessive, not in accordance
with the facts, and that the county
auditor failed to protect the county's
interests in the course of proceed
ings preceding the award.
E. H. Brant, county auditor, in an
affidavit, admits he failed to notify
commission members or the states
attorney of notices of hearing sent
to him by the compensation board.
Alex Walther, with Tong when the
accident occurred, has prepared an
affidavit to the effect that on the
trip he twice warned Tong not to
drive so recklessfy.

placed upon Emmons county for in

STACKER MONEY

I OAHASnEN NOINEI
The convention of the American
Legion declared for the universal
draft, including property.
Why not? If in war young men
must expose their bodies to shell
fire and the bayonet thrust, If we
conccript every young man Of mill
tary age for the shambles, if we take
all that young man is or hopes to
be and make him living breast
work against the armed advance of
the foe, IT we compel wives, sisters
and mothers to give up their loved
ones to 20 out and fight in national
defense, why not also conscript pro.
perty, all property, for military ser
vice?
If we do not, we place the office
buildings, the bank vaults, the in
dustrial plants above the man. We
make the dollar a Stacker and the
man conscript.
We pay dearly for all the property
we use in war. Property in the late
war made Of its owners twenty odd
thousand millionaires. Property got
prices and profits almost beyond the
dreams of avarice. Property made
SO much money out Of the late war,
almost overnight at that, that many
OF its owners cannot find ways
enough to spend it.
Why this difference in war between
the man and the money? Why con-
fiscate the man, but license the |
money to profiteer? Why lay on
the man the iron hand of power, but |
give property license to become the I
hawk and buzzard Of the battlefield.

the performance credited to Olive,
l5-year- old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

When she reported killing several
rattlesnakes in riding about the
home ranch, her parents expressed
the opinion that the snakes were
bullsnakes. Miss Menus proceeded
to obtain evidence. Throwing stones
she nearly buried rattlesnake, and
then pulled the rattles from it's pro-
truding tail. She then piled more
stones upon it and returned home
with the proofs. Later she found the
rattlesnake had extricated itself and

the papers that seemed to tell the
whole story"
Ruth looked into her pocketbook
and brought out a yellowed and
worn piece OF newspaper and this is
what she read to me:
She crowned him with a laurel
wreath
and gazed into his eyes beneath
@p.t TO see his soul arise;
She laid her trusting head upon his
heart
And hoped that it might heal the
smart
Z Of grief in joys disguise.
She held to him her suppliant hands
And said he always understands
That good within me lies.'
Blindly she worshipped and adored
And brought to him her whole great
ho"rd
Of love that never dies.
She never knew his feet were clay
Until one sad, heart-breaking day
She dropped her eyes
And found q laughing little maid
Who all unconscious there had
strayed
Making mud pies.".

dldly speaking, part of the $780,.

to putting the mill in operation pre-

1t goes without saying that the mill.

expense to about cents per barrel
and general expense can be cut
down, including overhead and inter-
EST to about one-third Of the present

When this is accomplished, there
will be a net margin of profit of
about $1.20 per barrel.
