CaseFromDawso
Judge leiper Orders Delinquent ak

McCone Six-Seven Thousand

On Tuesday April 22nd, the case OF
The State OF Montana, ex rel. J. ).
kendig. as County Treasurer OF
McCone County, Montana, VS.. Eta
]. Sorenson, as County treasurer Oh
Dawson County, Montanaa was
heard before Judge Frank T. Lelper'
at Glendive, sitting without jury.
The Act of the Legislature Great
ing McCone County provided that tne
County Treasurer of Dawson County
pay to the Treasurer OF McCone
county a pro rata share OF all taxes
collected which were delinquent at
the time of the creation of McCone
County and assessed against pro-
perty situated in the territory tnen
comprising Dawson County.
In April, 1919, the share OF the
delinquent taxes to be collected 10
which McCone County was entitled
was determined by a commission
consisting of the County Commls-
sioners of Dawson and McCohe
Cunties, and Judge c. c. Hurley, 10
be 20335 per cent.
After the creation of McCone
County a dispute arose between
Dawson and McCone County concern
ing the payment Of certain claims
which Dawson County claimed to be
due and which McCone County re-
fused to pay. The County Commits
sioners of Dawson County thereupon
instructed their County Treasurer
not to pay McCone County the delln-
quent tax money and 1t therefore be.
came necessary in order to compel
the payment of the money to bring
an action for the purpose of securing
a Writ of Mandate requiring the
County Treasurer of Dawson County
to make the payment.
Judge Leiper ordered that the
Writ be issued. 1t is not known al
this time the exact amount which
McCone Count will receive, but it Is
estimated at between six and seven
thousand dollars. Judge Felt in an
action instituted last fall required
the County Tfeasa1aa of Dawson
County to pay to McCone County
$1,391.09 delinquent tax money.
County Attorney Homer A. Hoover

HOW TO coMBAT THE GRASS
HOPPER PEST IN FLAX FIELD

Because flax fields stay green later
in the season than most other crops,
flax becomes great late summer
attraction for grasshoppers. Grass
hoppers can do terrific damage in
flax field, cutting off the seed bolls
and the tops of the plants.
Where grasshopper infestation is
bad. the flax grower will do well to
watch his fields carefully. A careful
spreading of poisoned bran mash about
the edges of the flax fields, regularly,
will cut down if not entirely prevent
grasshopper damage. 1t is not enough
to scatter a little poisoned bait and
consider It a seasons job done. A
little bait must be spread about the
edges of the field through the worst
of the grasshopper sason if bad DAM
age is to be prevented,

PrimaryCandidates
Required Pay Fee

Petitions

FCIiLiOnS
Fees of varying amounts will be
required of all candidates for nom
nation to public office when they
file their notice OF becoming candi-
dates this year with the county
clerk and recorder, instead OF the
usual petitions, in accordance with
the new primary law passed at the
last session OF the legislature.
The new method will eliminate the
necessity of circulating petitions and
securing signatures of percentage
of the legal voters in county, and
il is believed that the difference in
expense to the candidates will be
petitions and having them circulated
was considerable.
Whether the new rule will in
crease the number of candidates
cannot thus far be determined, but
the legislature when it amended the
urinary election law to that effect
predicted that it would not only in
crease the number of candidates, but
would also as a result, incrase the
revenue to the state and counties.

Under the amended law all that is
necessary for candidates to do to get
their names on the primary ballots
is to file an application if for state
office, with the secretary of state,
and with the county clerk and recor-
der, if for county office, and accom-
nany the application with a fling
fee which equals one per cent of

THE PERILS OF
CONSTIPATION
The Disease That Wrecks the
Whole Body. Quickest Way TO
Get Well is Through New
Treatment Containing Seven
teen Ingredients That Renew
Every Part of the Body.

Constipation affects directly ev-
cry organ in the body, due to the
fact that the liver does not carry the
bile out Of the system, thus put
ting an extra burden on the kid
neys that overtaxes and weakens
them, filling the blood with all
manner of disease germs that are
carried through the veins into ev-
cry nook and corner of the BODY.
That is why any remedy that mere
iy temporarily relieves constipa-
ton is inefficient and you become
addicted to the constant use of
strong purgatives that weaken and
! deplete the system. In order to
get permanent relief, complete
systemic treatment is necessary.
This complete treatment is
found only in a prescription called
Re-Cu-Ma, which contains severn
teen well known and thoroughly
tested medicines, so skillfully com
pouhued mat each one performs it's
function on the various parts of the
body perfectly and harmoniouslv.
This remarkable prescription
goes right to work on torpid liz

on of its accumulation of poison
Gus refuse which, according to
trof. Metchnikoff of the Pastuer
institute, Paris, is the direct cause
OF all our aches and pains. In ad-
