before she fell asleep. when she

the weight that had been at her heart
for two days--since she had learned
from Jack Kilmeny's lips that he was
a highgrader-was still tied there too

BANKERS TRY
TO AID FARMER

Fargo, Feb THAT the bankers of
the United States are trying to CO.
ordinate the efforts Of the banking
fraternity in each state with the eff
forts of the agricultural colleges and
extension workers in a nationwide
plan for the betterment or agricul-
ture was the declaration of D. H.
Otis, director of the agricultural
commission of the American Bank
ers association, in outlining the pur-
pose of the banker-farmer conference
being held in Fargo yesterday.
The conference was opened with
F. A. Irish, member of the agl'icul-
tural commission Of the American
Bankers association from the Ninth
federal reserve district, as chairman.
Bankers from all parts of North
Dakota, representatives of the North
Dakota Agricultural college and 9TH

SCHOOL BOARDS
MAY GATHER
Would Consider Means of Tax
Reduction in N. ID.

Grand Forks, Feb. 1.-Plans are
under way for the holding of meet
ing Of members Of the boards Of ed
ucation Of a number of cities in
North Dakota for the purpose Of ar
irving at some means of cooperation
in the maintenance of high standard
schools under the present school tax
levy. 1t is. proposed to hold the
meeting in Jamestown, but no city
has been definitely selected for the
meeting.
The Grand Forks board of educa-
tion has signified it's approval of
such a meeting and will send rep
resentative, it was announced We'd
nesday. The matter will be taken
up for discussion at the next regular
meeting of the local board of.educa-
tion to be held February 5.
1t is contended that in view of the
present tax levy limitation of 18
mills, the schools are finding it diff
'ficult to obtain sufficiently large
amount Of money to. maintain the
schools. 1t is claimed that this is
the situation at present without the
bill proposed. by J. G. Gunderson,
president of the State Taxpayers as
sociation, to further cut the school
levy by 25 or 35 per cent.
1t is contended by John Curr, pres
ident of the jamestown board Of
education, that practically the only
way in which the cost Of the schools
may be reduced is to cut the teach
ers' wages.

NEED SIGNERS
0N'INCREASED
JURISDICTION
Petitions Probably Will Bc
Lacking in Sufficicncy,
Unless Action Is Taken
IERs NEED 1000 SIGNATURES
Plan Is to Have the Matter
Submitted to a Vote at
Election March 18

Unless some concerted action is
taken by an organization or a group
Of individuals, it appears likely at
this time that sufficient signatures $
to'provide an election on the ques-
tion of increased jurisdiction for the
county court of Burleigh county will
be lacking when the time comes for
the county commissioners to submit
the matter.
Under the resolution Of the board,
authorizing circulation of petitions,
the matter would be submitted at the
March 18 primary. Over 200 sigma
lures, or 20 percent Of the vote of
the last election for Governor, are
needed to place the question on the
ballot, according to States Attorney
+. s. Allen.
Many petitions have been placed
in downtown hotels, and there have
been some voluntary signers. The
states attorney said today he would
have two men circulating the petit
tions, but it was doubtful if there
, would be Il sufficient number by
CDI udI -, Vie udle Ol lue next
! meeting of the board of county
| commissioners, and that a special
, meeting to decree the election on
March 19 probably would be neces-
STATED.
Under increased jurisdiction the
county court would be empowered
to try all misdemeanor cases and
| civil actions involving less than
81 900. A term of court would be
held each month. The commissioners
favored the move on the ground that
it would obviate protracted jury
terms and thus save money to the
county, would provide for specdier
justice since court would be held
! each month by the county court, and
would give the district court more
time for the many important cases
before it.
Unless there is increased jur;sdic-
tion, there will be necessity for
another district judge in this dis
trict soon, it is declared.

Championship corn of North Dako-
ia will go on exhibit before the
countless thousands of people that

way immigration and development
department desired to take part of
the state corn show exhibit for this
purpose. The railroad also desires
an exhibit for their general offices.
Another portion of the exhibit will
be turned over to Commissioner of
immigration j. NJ. Devine for use in
his work. Still another portion
will be placed in the hands of the
Secretary Of the state fair at Fargo,
who requested it., with the under
standing that the championship corn
also will be exhibited at the Grand

L0SESCASE
AGAINST 500
kutchera of Bismarck
Cannot Get Damages

A person who undertakes a specific
job of repair work, furnishing his
own assistants and doing such work
entirely according to his own ideas
and plans, and without being sub
jected to the orders of anyone else
as to the details of the work, is an
Independent contractor and not a
servant. and therefore not entitled to
recover for personal injuries sustain
ell while doing such work, the supreme
court decided here in the case OF
Adolph Kutchcra against the 500
Lines Railway company.
Kutchcra contracted in 1921 to
overhaul and repair gas engine
mounted on "specder" for the 500
railway in Bismarck. He thought
it advisable to try it out. While
running on the railroad it jumped
the track and serious injuries were
caused him, he alleged. He complain
ed that the railroad company author
i7ed him to be the "speeder" but did
not warn him Of IT'S dangerous char
acter. The supreme court affirmed
ruling by Judge Jansonius of the
district court Of Burleigh county who
sustained demurrer to the COM
plant.

"D0LL UP" DEVILS LAKE JAIL BUT
PRISONERS REFUSE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE

Devils Lake, N. D., Feb. 1.-The
city commission, especially Police
Commissioner c. ]. Kelly is much
concerned over the fact that there
are no occupants the last few weeks
for the new city Jail.
The significance of their worries
is better understood when it is re-
allied that the commission has gone
to a great deal of expense to put the
Jail in excellent condition, having had
it painted throughout and otherwise
improved. The Police commissioner
considers it something of slight
against the city governments good
taste that no one takes the trouble of
getting arrested and securing at
least for night, comfortable roost
in the new Jail.
Last night at the meeting OF the
commission Police Chief Tomboe
said that at least Is new mattresses
are needed for the Jail, as those now
used are in a somewhat delapidated
condition, and do not harmonic with
the otherwise aesthetic surroundings.

WHITE
BRINGS MOOSE
TO 2 ESKIM0S
Several Killed in Feud Which
Followed Staying of
White Man

Edminton, Alberta, Feb. 1.-"White
man Justice will write the
final chapter in an arctic feud today
when two uncivilized Eskimos feel the
moose Of the hangman on Herschel
Island, if the order OF the domi iion
court is carried out. Alik Omak and
Tetamangma Of the Cooper Eskimo
tribe Of Prince Albert sounds were
hanged for the killing of Corporal
Doak of the Royal Canadian iLountcd
Police and Otto Binder, white trad.
er of Coronation Gulf. 1t viii be
spring before confirmation Of the
execution can be received here for
the only communication with Hers
chell Island is by courier and the
route he must travel is long aud ar
duous but authorities here and ut
Ottawa expect the execution will go
forward.
Testimony at the trial of the con-
victed man showed that Otto BIN
der's fancy for young Eskimo girl,
desired in marriage by member Of
her tribe was the basic cause of the
feud. The feud eliminated in the
killing Of two white men--Binder and
several Eskimo men and women and
finally in the strangling of a four
year-old Eskimo girl who was killed
after the death of her parents rath-
err than have her left charge on
the tribe. Corporal Doak was killed
when he arrested him. Counsel for
the accused men did not deny the
crime but contended the time was
not yet ripe for trying the Eskimos
in the same manner as white man
holding that the uncivilized Eskimo
is in the same condition as the ear
ly Briton was two years ago.

"What's the matter with these
Mattresses President Allie Haie
asked. care they not good enough
for prisoners ?"
"Oh, they're all right" the chief
answered, "only they have been in
the Jail only about ten years, and
now bear the marks of wear and
tear"
"Only ten years?'' asked Commits
sioner Blanding Fisher. "What's
the use of getting new ones if we
can't find anybody to SLEEP on them ?"
"Well, maybe if we get some new
ones," Police Commissioner Kelly
suggested, someone will consent to
get arrested and use. them"
"Guess you're right" guessed
President Haig. Lets order the new
ones and make the Jail useful. It's
q shame to spend all this money on
the Jail and keep it empty. The fell
lows about town don't know what a
comfortable place we have arranged
for them behind the bars"

ALASKAN MAIL
Graduate of State University
Secures Contract

Grand Forks, N. d., Feb. 1.--C. B.
Eielson Of Hatton, graduate in 1919
of the state university here, has Sc
cured the first government contract
for carrying mail by airplane in in
terror Alaska, according to word re-
ceived by hI' brothers, Oliver and
Arthur, at the university.
Mr.. Eielson went to Alaska as prin-
ing his first summer there he was
instrumental in forming the Farthest
North Airplane company. AS aviator
in the company of which he is a part
ner, he held several private air mail
contracts with mining companies,
and while doing this work he trav-
elcd a distance Of 10000 miles by
plane.
The government air mail route
between Fairbanks and McGrath, 600
miles, can be negotiated in little
more than five hours by the new
postoffice department DeHav;land
plane carrying 800 pounds Of mail.
The old dog team method REQUIRED
a hundred dogs from 10 to IA days
at an expenditure Of 1,022. The con-
tract is effective beginning with Feb
ruary, but regular schedules will
not be effective until later in the
year because of the possibilities of
storms at this season. The plane
and ain extra motor is furnished by
the postoffice department. The mo-
tor is of the latest tyne and is used
exclusively on government nail
planes.
Mr.. Eielson has pioneered flying
in interior Alaska if not in the en-
