HIGH COURT
RULESIN WARD
COUNTY CASE
State May Not Appeal When
Man Is Acquitted Of a
BcOtlegging Charge

In case where man Is acquitted
Of Bookkeeping charge and his bail
refunded the state may not appeal
the supreme court held today in the
ease Of Pasquale Burdo Of Minot.
The state appealed the case on the
ground that the Ward county district
court erred in directing a verdict Of
acquittal after hearing evidence
against the defendant. The trial
courts action was based on the
ground that IA conviction could not
be sustained because the manner IN
which dry agents obtained evidence
against Burd0 indicated that they had
violated the law with regard to en-
.rapment Under this law person
may not testify against another whom
he has induced to commit a crane
with the idca in mind of arrcSting
him for the crime after 1t was COM
mi,tcd.
Right to Appeal Denied

the order of the trial court dismiss
ing the case. the supreme court SAID:

WILLOW RIVER PAPER.
CEASES PUBLICATION

The Pine County Farmer which
has been published at Willow
River for nearly Is years issued
it's last number Friday, July 9.
1t was not a paying proposition
financially. Editor E. B. Lins-
ley's swan song reads as follows:
1.-THE Farmer ceases publication
with this issue. The subscription
list has been taken over by the Askov
American, and our readers who are
paid in advance will receive that ex-
cellent paper for the full term of
their subscription. If they already
have the American, due credit will be
given on their subscription to that
paper. Those in arrear, will receive
sample copies of the American. All
back subscriptions and other items
are due and payable at this office.
"The reason for disseminating the
Farmer is that the amount of BUSH
ness has not been sufficient to pay
for the patent insides,' not to men
ton the work of setting the type and
printing it. The better times hoped
for never came
I'VE acknowledge and highly ap-
preciate the many courtesies extended
by the newspaper boys of the county;
for the patronage received; and for
our old subscribers, benediction
and hopes for an abundant prosperity.
The office will continue to do job
printing and will also engage in rub
Der stamp making"

HINCKLEY BANK is
DOING WELL AGAIN

The Farmers and Merchants
State Bank at Hinckley opened
its doors to the public last Thurs
day after being closed nearly
eight months. The re-opening
was made possible through the
depositors of the bank signing
off 80 per cent of their depos is
to take care of the deprec alton
of the paper in the bank and a
big sacrifice by the former stock
holders. It is a big boost to
Hinckley to have a bank again.
The first days business in
creased the deposits $1,000 and
after four days business the de-
posits had increased approx
mately $4,000.
The officers of the bank are:
M. Bulls, Sandstone, president;
JAS. H. Hogan, Kerrick, and J. w.
Lowe, Wrenshall, vice-presidents;
F. H. Torske, cashier and r. A..
Nelson, assistant cashier. Dir
ectors are: M. Bulls; A. E. Eddy,
Brook Park; J. w. Lowe, w. P.
Hogan, Kerrick; and James H.
Hogan. These are also the prin-
cipal stockholders.
After the Hinck,ey community
has experienced two bank fail
ures the new officers and stock
holders of the Farmers and Mer-
chants State Bank Will have some
doubt and fear to- overcome, but
if anybody can do this it is Mr..
Bulls and the Hogans. They
have had many years banking
experience and in several COM
munities, land never failure.
They are careful, conservative
and on the job. Hinckfey folks
are showing their confidence in
them by liberal patronage right
away.

Our WASHINGTON Letter
81 " pDaley
: 80 naDNa tDuOs4 Ss0eArOa s'ta4

Washington, July II. The Fed
eral Trade Commission is about
to take sweeping new measures
to insure clean and legitimate
newspaper and periodical adver-
Using.
Responsibility for false or mis-
leading advertising is to be
placed by the Commission upon
newspaper and periodical pub
fishers, as well as upon the adj
vertiser and the advertising
agency.
This represents policy long
advocated by those newspaper
and periodical interests which
carefully guard their columns
against such forms of advertising
as are recognized as fake
"quack," or otherwise fraudulent
or misleading.
While the commissioners were
reluctant this week to discuss the
proposed new rules to govern adj
vertising because they have not
yet been completely formulated,
it was learned authoritatively the
Commission is of the opinion the
rules will prove acceptable to
newspapers and periodicals which
exercise rightful supervision over
their advertising columns.
The rules are expected to be
made public within the next
week or two.
Heretofore the Commission has
repeatedly cited cases of fake or
misleading advertising in issuing
restraining orders against con-
Germs or individuals using such
advertising to misrepresent var
.ious articles placed upon the'mar-
ket. The advertising medium or
agency carrying such advertising
has not been cited.
According to the commissions
present plans, responsibility for
such advertising would be shared
alike by both those accepting it
and those placing it. Both would
be cited by the commission and
the attention Of the public there
by directed to both.
The commission has been Civ.
ing Serious consideration to the
subject for some time and when
it announces its new policy its
members are confident the ap-
proval of publishing, advertising
and other interests will be ex.
pressed.

WILL OPEN UP NEW
ROAD IN FLEMING

F. M. Rodenberger, C. A. New
come and Max Market, town
board supervisors of Fleming
township, were in Askov Mon
day in the interest of the four
four miles of road they are open
ing up this year from Boo's cor
ner, Z miles directly east of
Askov, to the Keene township
line. Work has been commenced
on same.
Keene township built their 2
miles of road to the Fleming
township line last year at an ex-
pense of about $1100 and they
are very anxious that Fleming
build their 4 miles this year so
that they may have a good road
to Askov as well as Bruno and
Sandstone. When the. 4 miles in
Fleming are built it will make
a through road from Askov to
Cloverton, all east and west with
the exception of l mile north and
south in Dosey township. The
road passes through the town
ships of Partridge, Fleming,
Keene and Dosey. From Clover
ton there is good road connect
ing up with State Highway No.

BEATING THE BUSHES
est. Paul Pioneer Press.)

We are alike impotent to make
it rain and to make it stop rain
ing. Having lodged by a wide
margin the threat of drought to
the crop, there is no guarantee
written in the sky that the other
extremity may not prove as
much of a threat against a sue
cessful harvest. There are, how
ever, certain things that man
can do to minimize the danger
Of loss and one of these is the
battle against the barberry bush,
which starts off the first of July
with twenty-five federal scouts
on duty to kill it out, root and
branch. The barb-rry bush
flourishes in moisture and, given
the usual heat of July, it will
serve to mother and send forth
the fungus growth that, in the
form of black rust, costs Mime
sofa farmers thousands of dollars
annually.
The barberry bush can become
as extinct as the buffalo if per-
sistence marks the tracking down
and destruction of it. The plan
proposed by the Kiwanis clubs of
Clay county, in cooperation with
the federal campaign, is the type
that will get most results. By it

ASKOV 6-SANDSTONE 4

One. of the best base ball games
in these parts this season was
played Sunday at Sandstone be-
tween Askov and Sandstone, the
visitors winning out by a score
of 6 to 4. 1t was a tight and
interesting game throughout, no
wrangling but both teams doing
their best to play ball and give
the spectators something for
their money. Jens Hyldahl did
mound duty for Askov and was
back in old form. He had the
situation we'll in hand through
out and was never shaky at any
time. Larson also pitched a good
game for Sandstone. The fans
generally were well pleased with
the manner in which the boys
handled themselves in the field
and at bat

job of visiting every farm in the
county, not only to look for the
male-factor among plants but to
arouse the farmer to the danger
he is harboring. The townsman
knows that rust can do-and does
do as much damage to him and
his bushes as it does to the far
mer, and his recognition of that
fact is seen in his effort to aid
in stamping out the bush that
produces it. If they can work
to help the farmer to protect
himself from rust loss, it will not
be long until they are working
to help protect him from the
larger loss caused by the COM
pulsory sale of his products at a
world price in protected mar
ket.

Another subject certain to con-
tinue to be agitated all summer
and fall is the moot one Of branch
banking. Especially the smaller
national banks will keep up their
fight for the McFaddeR measure

bankers, operating through the
California group, will miss no op-
portunity to foster fresh opposi-
ton to it by a nationwide cam

and the President and his entour-
age comfortably buried in the
Adirondacks, the, average obser-
yer unacquainted with official
life at the National Capital may
naturally be inclined to think
that Pennsylvania Avenue must
be as dead these days as the ira
ditional graveyard.
But official Washington will
find plenty to do during the hot
summer weeks remaining, while
Senators and Congressman are
out on the hustings preparing
for the November elections.
The various Departments must
keep their various noses to the
grindstone of routine business,
and there is always an abundant
supply of this even with the
White House and the Capital va
cant.
Farm relief legislation prom
ises to go hand in hand with tar
iff revision proposals until the
regular session of Congress in
December. By that time the
Administrations plan for farm
relief is expected to assume the
shape of a modified Foss-Tincher
bill for government amortization
loans to co-operatives, with prob
ably some new intermediate cred
its system. In the meanwhile
tariff revision advocates tell us
that anti-administration forces
are scheming already to present
to the country a thoroughly
mixed proposal of tariff reduc-
ton and farm relief. This joint
proposal is considered certain in
some quarters to be injected into
the Presidential campaign OF
1928 even though it doesn't get
far in the next session of Con.
gress.
