CHICKEN POX IS ON
THE INCREASE HERE

Cases where the chicken pOx cpl
demic has attacked it's victims and
which have been properly quarantin-
ed are: Barbara and Harlem Peter
sell, children of Mr.. and Mrs. Holger
Petersen; Raymond Christensen,
grandson of Ib D. Hansen of the town
of Finlayson and Agnes johnson.
daughter of Rasmus johnson, all of
the Askov community.
For the benefit Of everyone and
especially for those who have known
SYMPTOMS of this disease and who have
not reported it, the health authorities
wish to say that we seem to be in the
midst of an epidemic of chicken poX,
the source of infection whereby 1t is
spread, no doubt comes from some
child, who has been permitted to at
tend school while suffering from the
disease. Considering the number of
children attending there has been a
great exposure within the school. 1t
is regrettable that parents do not re-
port any eruptive skin disease to
school or health authorities. The law
of Minnesota requires and makes it
imperative that all parents and per-
sons report any disease of suspicious
character. The health authorities ask
for the unstinted cooperation of all
the public as well as the public Of
fcials together with patrons of the
school. Other measures to control
can then be taken.

MANY HEARINGS
 ARE SCHEDULED
Supreme Court to Take Up
 Important Cases

Washington. April (UP)-The United States supreme court meets at noon today after four weeks re- cess, to announce decisions made in the recess and to start on its last month of hearing arguments tor this term.
 Hearings on cases, starting today. will continue for three or four weeks. During the latter part of May. the court will meet on Mon- days to announce decisions. and on the first Monday in June the court will adjourn until next October.
 After hearings are completed, the days of the nine justices will be oc- cupied as have the days of the re- cess just ended-in secret debate and preparation of decisions.
 Many decisions are expected to- day from the more than 50 cases now under advisement. These in- clude possible decisions on validity of the New York Ku Klux Klan registration law. on the validity of telephone-tapping by federal pro- hibition agents. on the constitution ality of the flexible tariff law. and on several important income and inheritance tax controversies.
 Philippine Cases Up
 Two cases of importance to the Philippine Islands will be argued first today after the decisions are announced. The cases involve validity of acts of the Philippine legislature giving the goyernor-gen- eral, the president of the island sen- ate, and the speaker of the island house of representatives, power to vote the island governments control- ling interest in the National Coal company and the Philippine Nation al bank. The Philippine supreme court held that the voting of the stock was an executive, not a legis- lative function, and that tho acts were invalid.
 John w. Davis, 1924 democratic presidential candidate, is represent ing the legislature in this argument, and Solicitor-general William D. Mitchell, for the island and federal government. is attacking the validity of the act. The decisions are im- portant in their effect on the opera tion of these two business govern- ment functions. and also affect sev- eral other national corporations of the islands, most of whose stock is owned by the government. These cases were appealed by directors of the two corporations who had been elected by the three government off, cials. The Philippine supreme courts decision ordered them busted from office.
 Another case to be argued this week is the appeal of the National Life Insurance company. which is seeking ! refund of income taxes

TOWN OFFICER SUES WOMAN FOR S25,000
Cophhe BlrroWs of NeWington
 aDenis Mis,ppropriation

Wewington. April 9-Alleging def amation of character Justice of the Peace C. s. Barrows has brought tera of the Center for &25.ooo through his lawyer, ex-Senator Jo- seph B. Griffin, because of remarks alleged to have been made by the defendant at the republican caucus Property of the defendant in this town has been attached.
 Justice Barrows alleges in his complaint that Mrs. Walters made a ytatement to the effect that he took $1O0 which belonged to the re- publican town committee and put it In his own pocket. MT. Barrows further alleges that this statement was false and malicious. According to the complaint, he is justice of the peace and has taken wide in- terest in town affairs, holding sev- erat other offices. and accordingly, his reputation has been injured.
 At the republican caucus, Miss Mary c. Welles attempted to put through motion disbarring all per sons from the town committee who had served four years or more. There was some criticism of the mo- 'tion, several persons saving that they thought members of experience would be more valuable to the com- !mittee. It was then Mrs. Walters is a1ltged to have made her statement. She was member of the committee which was being criticized and had supposed that Mir. Barrows was a 'istalleged to have misappropriated thr' money. Mir. Barrows has never baen a member of the republican town committee.
 Before the election. two years ago. BarroWs went to the republican state headquarters and explained 10 j.. Henry Roraback that the local town committee was not in favor of hiring automobiles for the transpor- tation of voters 10 the polls. As a result. there We're many republican voters who had no means of reach- ing the polls. Roraback then gave ;Barrows a check for $10o telling him to hire automobiles for that purpose. Barrows hierd four and has.receipts from these four per sons, he claims. The plaintiff made a report back to the republican headquarters, showing the itemized statement of how the money was spfnt. According to a recent letter from Rora back. to whom the local situation had been explained, the matter was handled to his satisfac- .tion.
 r; Soon after the caucus on March .18 Barrows' attorney wrote a letter to Mrs. Walters asking her to re- tract her statement. On confering with her lawyers, Rourker & Han- rahan of Hartford, she refused to do 70. Accordingly. Barrows brought suit. The case will come Up at the May session in the superior court, Mn. Walters would make no state- mont in connection with the matter today.

 Criminal Cases Advanced Three criminal cases have been
 advanced for early argument this week. One is an important govern-
 ment appeal from lower court de-
 cisions which blocked an attempt
 to punish Jacob A. Goldman and
 other salesmen and agents of the
 National Cash Register Go. with having violated 1916 antitrust decree against that company. Lower courts dismissed the governments contempt charge, holding that since it was filed more than one year aft CT the acts were committed. the prosecution was illegal. The gov- ernment argued that the three-year, not the one-year statute of limita- tions. applies in all criminal con- tempt proceedings.
 The other appeals are from Ohio One by Gertrude Davis, Cleveland, attacks validity of the state law reg ulating palmistry, and the other by M. J. Dugan. Nenia, charges that the mayor of the city had no right to impose a $1,000 fine on him for liquor law violation, because the mayor as member of the city com- had an interest in the city's finances. Dugan cited the recent widely noted Tumey case from Ohio as a precedent. In the Tumey case the supreme court held illegal an Ohio law under which justice of the peace received as fees percentage of the fines paid. The Ohio supreme court in this case upheld the fine against Dugan.
