Child Does Not Lose.

Judge w. L. Comstock of the
Blue Earth county district court
established a precendent in the
district court of Minnesota when
he issued an order reversing the
order and final decree of the pro-
bate court and recognizing the
right of an adopted child as an
heir at law of it's natural parents.
The case is the first of it's kind
to be decided in the courts of
Minnesota and has attracted the
attention of members of the state
bar association. The decision is
held an important one in that it
establishes the right of inheritance
by descent within family The
decision of Judge Comstock was
made in the matter of the estate
of Henry L. Roberts with his
daughter Martha Roberts as APP
pellant against Elizabeth A. Ow-
en- and Kate M. Roberts and the
administrators of the estate.
When Martha Roberts was five
years old, her mother died and
she was adopted. Her natural ia
Their, Henry L. Roberts, REMARKED
and had two more children. He
died in 1920. The probate court
in disposing of the will, assigned
the residue of the estate, valued
at S39,400 to Roberts wife and
their children, Martha Roberts be-
ing cut off by the decree which
was reversed by Judge Comstock.
In rendering his opinion, Judge
Comstock cited the laws of Moses
and the Arabic, Athenian, Hebrew,
Roman and the Justinian codes to
uphold the contention that child
born in lawful wedlock and later
adopted retains the right of IN
heritance by such descent.-Chron-

Just Weather

MARK IVAN once said sometime
to the effect that people were az
ways talking about the weather
but nobody ever seemed to do anv-
thing about it. 1t seems probable
that this subject has been a stanle
one Tor conversation ever since
language began. Most people take
y good deal of interest in the
weather and those who do not
lalk about it just the same.
The weather has always had q
good deal Of effect on human ac-
tivlties and human welfare A
great many of mans plans are laid
contingent upon the weather and
many of his enterprises from the
Armada of Spanish monarch "a
the crop of the humblest peasant
have depended upon the weather
knowing this, man has lone
sought to learn in advance what
the weather is to be. Modern
science has given a good deal of
attention to this problem and with
success enough to justify the
maintenance of weather depart-
ments by civilized nations But
modern science finds other fields
OF interesting investigation in
connection with the weather also
For instance, in this country
within a few years past inquiries
nave been conducted as to the eff
feet Of weather upon human eff
cheney both bodily and mental and
1t has been found that various
classes of workers do better work
under certain weather conditions.
and, as a consequence, accomplish
more IN a year in those regions
where such weather conditions are
prevalent.
Another inquiry is a historical
one. Weather has its effect not
only upon the efficiency of the in
dlvldual for given day but up
on his character as a whole. The
man who has lived all his life in
a region of clouds and rain devel-
ops a different character from the
one who has lived in sunshine and
drouth. Racial characteristics, it
belived, are largely influenced by
weather and climate, which is the
sum total Of weather.
The course of history has been
changed by changes in climate and
some Investigators IRE concerning
themselves with tracing such
changes. The characteristics of
races have been changed by mi
grafton from one climate to a
different one and this is another
interesting subject of inquiry,
which is particularly applicable
here in the United States where in
many sections the climate differs
radically from that of the homes
of our European ancestors Su-

that man who is a crook in

it is up to all other good citizens
to report any violations of the
laws they know Of This is put
ting it pretty strong, but what on
earth will we do if we let these

Rice Lake we have trout streams
