CRAIG TAKES
FORGERY CASE
TO HIGH COURT
One Time Nonpartisan Leader
and Former Bank President
Demands New Trial
REASSERTS INNOCENCE
Ruling Holds Insurance Policy
Is Not Subject to Estate
Debts

Raymond W. Craig, one time Non
partisan leader, today appealed to
the supreme court from his convic-
ton on fourth degree forgery
charge in the district court of La
Moure from which change Of venue
had been taken from Ransom county.
The case grew out of Crais's al
legged illegal operations in connection
with the operation Of the Ransom
county Farmers bank, of Lisbon, of
which he formerly was president.
In a brief presented to the court
attorneys for Craig contcnded that
he did nothing illegal or wrong and
that his every action was for the best
interests Of the bank.
The record shows that at the time
Craig had charge Of its affairs the
bank listed among its paper assets
100000 in notes which had been given
by directors and other officials in
return for loans. They were listed
at the time as worthless.
Through an arrangement with Il
Minneapolis bank the Ransom County
Farmers Bank bought $48,000 worth
Of obligations given by the State
Bank of Nome, N. d.. for $4,000.
These then were listed on the
books Of the Ransom county bank and
the notes given by directors and
others were withdrawn. The point
on which Craig was convicted was
that he signed the name of another
man to the minutes of the board of
directors at which these transactions
were approved.
Policy Not Subject TO Debt
A life insurance policy is not sub
ject to the debts of an estate, the
supreme court held today in the case
Of Ella Il. Coughlin, administrators
Of the estate Of Gilbert j. Coughlin,
VS.. Charles Boyer and W. J. Gerding.
The court reversed a decision Of the
Ward county district court which
held for Boyer and Gcrding ut the
trial of the case.
Reverse Mattson Case
rhe supreme court today reversed
the decision of the Grand Forks
county district court in the case of
Martin +. Mattson, and remanded
the case for new trial. Mattson
convicted of second degree murder
in connection with the death Of Mabel
Anderson, on whom he was charged
with having performed a criminal
operation. The reversal was based
on the fact that some Of the evidence
offered by the state at the trial
and admitted by the court was in
competent
New Action
The supreme court today remanded
the district court Of Mountral coun-
ty for new trial in the case of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gems Nelson, appellants,
VS.. A. Flath. The court held that the
record of the case, which involves the
custody of Edna Lois Flath, was not
in proper shape. The Nelson's are
the maternal grandparents of the
child and Flath is paternal grand

A little nutmeg or cinnamon
may be sprinkled over the top OF
a glass of iced milk for variety.
Cool, but not ice cold drinks
will satisfy hunger. For this
reason it is well to cool the milk
rather than add ice when max
ing a milk drink, to be taken
with the meals. Ice cold drinks
at meal time tend to delay diges-

a A cool eggnog will be appre-

may be made by beating an egg
thoroughly, adding ] teaspoonful
of sugar, Y teaspoon vanilla, and
a little nutmeg and filling the
glass with milk. Stir well, serve
with a straw.
A tablespoon Of chocolate
syrup may be used instead of the
sugar If a chocolate eggnog is
preferred.
Milk drinks are inexpensive
when made at home. Each quart
of milk will make five or six milk
drinks costing only a few cents
each.

The lives of most film stays
are strictly regulated by written
agreements with their employers.
Producers take few chances with
screen players who have reached
stardom and sell their services
for fat sums on q contract basis.
They riddle the contracts with
trick" clauses and prohibitions
to insure against depreciations
in the stars box office pull with
the public.
There is famous morality"
clause which appears in nearly
every agreement between pro-
duoers and their contract play
ers. 1t provides penalties for the
actor or actress who comes into
public disrepute through some
scandal or misconduct.
The morality clause was
adopted generally by producers
after the Fatty Arbuckle scandal.
Famous Players-Lasky are still
holding two Arbuckle films which
cost thousands OF dollars to pro-
duce but will probably never be
marketed. The film makers had
no way to retrieve their losses

always like this. There used to
be a great deal of sickness here
before the Spanish war. But
when it came under the protec-
ton Of the United States 1t was
greatly improved, and disease was
practically wiped out"
what caused the disease?"
Foxy Grandpa?s
Mosquitoes, I said.
Tell me about Them" asked
Bobby.
Before the Spanish war" I
started. there was disease
down here known as yellow
Fever and many Cubans died Of
it and when soldiers came down
here, more soldiers were lost
through yellow fever than in
battle.
$50 in 1900, after the war was
over and the United States took
charge, the Government officials
decided to look into this thing
and see If they couldn't put
stop to It.
"There was a theory that O
certain kind Of mosquito carried
yellow fever. but It hadn't been
proved.
$50 Doctor Reed and four other
doctors determined to find this
out.
''Now, animals don't contract
diseases of that nature, so ex-
periments had to be made on
human beings.
IAN Of these brave doctors al
lowed themselves to be bitten by
mosquitoes which had been in
fected by yellow fever. They all
got it and one fine young man
died-a Doctor Lazear.
I'm his honor a new expert
mental station was established,
and there the work was carried
on. There were two houses
built - one called the infected
mosquito house. and the other
the infected clothing house.
I'm the infected mosquito house
there were two rooms-one where
infected mosquitoes were and one
where there were none. Then vol
unteers were called for. Two
young soldiers went into these
rooms, which were separated by a
wire netting. and lived there. and
allowed themselves to be bitten
by the mosquitoes. They both
contracted yellow fever and were
very i'll; while the two other sol
diers who lived right next to them
with only screening between
where there were no mosquitoes,
never even caught it.
"Then other volunteers entered
the infected clothing house,
where blankets and clothing worn
by yellow fever patients were kept.
They handled the infected cloth
ing, but not one OF them took
the disease.
80 1t was proved that 1t was
the vicious little mosquito which
did the damage.
