DR.. LOwman gave his promised lee
ture before a large audience in the Chris
tianSted Theatre last night. The Doctor
commenced his lecture by showing the
good done in the past years by medical
practice and surgery IL the hospitals on
the island. 1t was also shown in an inter
esting manner how trachoma disease has
decreased from year to year, having the
amiable DIR. Learner who has made a spe-
cial study Of eye and nose diseases The
dreaded hOokworm disease is getting all
attention so as to prevent it spreading
among our people. Having your sleeping
rooms we'll ventilated at night is some
thing that the Doctor is very careful
about, he warned everybody about closing
the windows, or in other words hermeti-
caIly sealing your sleeping rooms, for
when these windows are closed you let in
the angel of death. Mosquito control
was another subject on the program.
The winsome DR.. Hays. although busy
otherwise IS giving this lit e pest his i'm.
mediate attention, as the mosquito Is we'll
known to be a carrier of disease. DR..
Lowman gave a very interesting account
of the world war on the French front.
With the help of a chart drawn by him
self to outline the exact places where the
German and Allied armies met in the
most bloody war in history. The result
was as we all known, the Germans were
defeated. and the Amistice signed Nov
ember II, 1918. Dir. LOwmar asked for
the full cooperation of the public in his
effort to combat these diseases dangerous
10 public health, and hope that his sue
cessor will also have the cooperation of
the public. The inmates at kingshill
foor Farm were also remembered IN
the lecture, and the Doctor would
be glad if persons who are financial
ly able would also remember them with
a gift sometimes. it would be very
much appreciated. The audience was

told that any information pertaining
to sanitation will be gladly furnished at
the Sanitation office by the Doctor or the
Chief clerk Mr.. q. LANCE. The thanks
Of the puzzle are due to Dr.. Lowman for
his instructive lectures, and we hope TO
hear him again before be leaves St. CroIX.

PRESENT new
VICTORY SIX
High Speed Car With Low Cen.
ter OF Gravity-Many En-.
cheering Innovations

After Is months Of development
work, Dodge Brothers, lnc., has Of
ficially announced the Victory Six, a
passenger car containing . number
Of marked innovations. It is long
and low in appearance and capable
Of sustained high speeds. Several
models Of the new car will be on
display tomorrow at the M. B. Gill
man company show rooms here.
Plans for 1928 1T Dodge Brothers
include the continuance Of the
Standard Four, equipped with A.
wheel brakes, and the Senior. Six,
in addition to the Victory Six. The
Graham Brothers truck division,
which has just completed the most
prosperous year in its history, will
continue to build commercial cars
and trucks of five capacities; 2-ton,
1lls.ton, 1-ton, u ton and la-ton.
Survives Many Tests
Grilling tests during which more
than 100000 miles were rolled up
by engineers in both experimental
and actual-production models pre-
coded the formal announcement of
the Victory. Some of the test cars.
ON durability runs, were kept going
on the highways till their speedom-
eters showed over 100000 miles;
speed performances on the Indian
apolis track demonstrated that the
car was capable of maintaining
nearly 20 miles an hour as an aver
age in thousands mile grinds. For
months preliminary to the formal
announcement, Victory Six models
have been subjected to all sorts and
conditions of roadwork in all parts
Of the United States: their drivers
taking them $4,000 feet up noun
tains and far below sea level on
western deserts.
Officials Of the Dodge company
state that the new car embodies sew
cral basic innovations in automotive
construction and design. To provide
r0ad-holding qualities necessary for
high speeds and at the same time to
permit the low sweeping body lines
dictated by fashion without sacrifice
ing roominAss or road clearance,
Dodge Brothers is employing a de-
sign entirely new to the industry.
The body and the chassis frame. in
the Victory Six, are a single unit.
Noise Sources Eliminated
Because conventional sills and
cross-members IRE done away with,
the center Of gravity is closer to the
road and the overall height of the
car is about at the ordinary mans
hatbrim. The low center Of gravity
and union Of chassis and body are
said to have marked stabilizing ef-
feet, reducing side sway and adding
greatly to riding comfort. The
frame Of the Victory Six chassis is
so deep that no splash shields are
necessary, thus eliminating q source
of noise.
Further structural distinctiveness
has been obtained by q novel type Of
body design, which might be de-
scribed s. : steel shell welded in
side an outer steel sheet to form a
double wall with an air space be-
tween. What automotive engineers
graphically and untechnically de-
scribe IS "tin-panning" in all-steel
body construction effectually has

"All light cars now have conven-
tional Transmission systems, In gen
eral they point up to features which
the Whippet introduced into the
light car field 10 months ago. Four.
wheel brakes, more speed, greater
flexibility, easier riding, better
looking bodies are oil being claimed.
This statement may be taken %
an indication Of . move in the Whip
pet direction which will be - notable
as the original presentation Of this
car which attracted most unusual
attention.
It 10 certain that Mr.. WHY'S is
going to take interesting steps to
bring the equality and performance
value Of the Whippet strongly to
the attention Of motor car buyers.
His whole attitude on this car shows
that some important move is in his
mind.
He has specifically dwelt upon q
national economy record Of 1928
miles to the gallon Of fuel on q 1859
mile rum from Los Angeles to New
York, and on = national average Of
1877 miles to the gallon made by

prior decision by the Divide county
district court, from which Mrs
Earnest appealed.
When q man takes up estrayed
animals and they cost him more "a
keep them than they prove to BE-
worth when sold for costs under the
law, he cannot obtain Z deficiency
judgment against the owner Of the
animals, the supreme court has held
in the case of J. K. LaPorte, W.. J.
L. Van Buskirk, appealed by the
former from the Ward county dis.
trict court.
LaPorte sued to recover his horses
which had been taken up by Var
Buskirk and the latter entered 8
counter claim for the cost Of keep.
ing the animals and damage alleged
to have been done by them. The
lower court gave Van Buskirk I
judgment greater than the amount
for which the horses were sold un.
der the terms Of the estray law
The supreme court held, however
that since Van Buskirk had elected
to obtain his costs under the estray
law he could not enforce = jude-
ment against the owner because the
horses had cost him more to keep
than he received for them. The de.
cision was q modification of the or.
der Of the district court which other
wise was affirmed.
Where questions Of fact are the
only issue in q lawsuit and the judg-
ment Of the lower court is supported
by the evidence, the supreme court
will not overturn q verdict Of q low

by the defendant from Ward county,

failed to account for notes which
she had given it for collection.
A new trial has been ordered by
the supreme court in the case of
Oscar Miller VS.. William Nulet-
meier, sheriff Of Grant Gounty, ap-
pealed by the defendant. It was

DECISIONS OF STATE SUPREME COURT

Partial reversal Of the Steele
county district court in the case Of
the Security National Bank Of Fargo
vs.. M. S. and Sophia Bothne has
been ordered by the supreme court.
The bank brought an action to set
aside an alleged fraudulent transfer
Of property by Bothnc to his wife
to escape judgment which had
been obtained by the bank. The de-
PENDANTS denied the jurisdiction of
the court and appealed from an or.
der denying their motion to dissolve
the attachment. The supreme court
held that the order denying the mo-
ton should be reversed but dis
missed the appeal on al other
grounds, thereby affirming the
courts jurisdiction to try the case.
Reversing the Sargent county dis
trict court, the supreme court up
held the appeal Of Emily Hooge,
widow of John Hooge, whose suit
against the city of Minor was dis
missed in the lower tribunal.
Mrs. Hooge sued for $1,000 be-
cause of injuries received by her
husband which resulted in his death.
She claimed that he fell because of
a defect in sidewalk at Minor and
that his death was the result Of the
city's negligence. The case was
dismissed in the lower court upon
the city's contention that Mrs. HODGE
had failed to give proper legal notice
Of the death Of her husband and Of
her intention to sue.
The court held that Mrs. HODGE
had 80 days in which to present her
claim and that she had substantially
complied with the statute. As a re-
suit the suit for damages probably
will be tried to jury in the district
court.
A Richland county jury will try
the case Of A. w. Powell VS.. Louis
and Anna Bach, under a decision Of
the supreme court here.
Powell obtained a deficiency judg-
ment on a debt for which Mr.. and
Mrs. Bach had signed a mortgage
note. Mrs. Bach later appealed for
the privilege of making an answer,
claiming that Powell was attempt
ing to levy on property owned by
herself alone, whereas she had been
induced to sign the note merely to
show that she waived her home
stead right to the property on which
Powell had made the loan. She con-
tended that her property was not
liable under the terms Of the note.
Powell appealed from an order Of
the district court which permitted
Mrs. Bach to file an answer to the
suit on which he already had OBJ
tanned judgment.
Failure to record o deed to real
estate does not prevent the person
holding the deed from asserting hei
title as against creditors Of the per.
bson from whom it was bought, the
supreme court has held in the case
of Nellie Earnest VS.. the First Ma
tional Bank Of Crosby.
In the case at bar, the court
pointed out, the plaintiff was il
open possession of the property and
held deed to it, although the deco
was not recorded. The defendant
obtained a sheriff's deed from the
record owner and Mrs. Earnest
brought an action to assert he,
claim and quiet the title
The supreme court held that II
was unnecessary for her to assert
her claim when the legal action
which resulted in the issuance Of the
sheriff's deed was in progress, and
that her failure to assert her claim
when the action was in progress did
not bar her from making it at q la.

court held that the lower court had
not used the proper method Of fix
| ing the value Of the grain and the
sn'ount to which Miller was en-
titled. The only point to be decided
at the new trial is the amount to
which Miller is entitled.
Roy vaughan's effort to collect
damages from the United States Fi-
deity. and Guaranty company for al
legged conversion Of an automobile
has been defeated in the supreme
court in the same manner that It met
defeat in the Ward county district
court.
The trial court dismissed the ac-
ton on the ground that the plaintiff
had failed to show that the auton,o-
bile had been taken from his posses
sion or that he had suffered dam
age.
Affirming the Towner county dis
trict court, the supreme court has
held that Stanley s. Meyers has sat
isfied a mortgage given by him to
the Mclaughlin Loan company and
sold by it to Sarah Swarthout. In
making payments on the mortgage,
the court held, Meyers dealt with
the loan company, which thereby be-
came the implied agent for Mrs.
Swarthout, since she made no objec-
ton to the procedure. Since the
loan company believed itself pos
sessed of the powers Of an agent it
had right to accept payment of
the money and issue q satisfaction
Of the mortgage, the court held.
Neither John L. Kertz or Filing
Skjeveland, both Ramsey county
residents, will Obtain damages for an
automobile accident for which each
blamed the other, the supreme court
has held.
Kertz sued Skjeveland, who filed
counter GLAZING and . Ramsey
county jury held that both were
negligent. Kertz appealed the case
to the supreme court, alleging err
rors at law. The court held that
there was no error and that the
jury's verdict was sound.

Director of the Budget Lord has secured the approval of President Coolidge of National budget for 1929 providing for expenditures or about s3,70O, 100000. or S400,000,0O0 greater than the budget for 1928 approved by the Pres- dent at Rapid City, North Dakota, last year. The budget for 1928 larger than that for 1927' which really marked the low tide in expenditures since the United States entered the war we have heard lot of Coolidge economy, and Presi- dnt Coolidge has earned credit for much of the comment but it has led to the idea which ob- tains in many circles that the cost of govern ment under President Coolidge has become less and less with the years That is not true, and the evidence is that we have gone into an upward and that the cost Of govern ment will become greater and greater It has been moving higher for two years.
