Judge Emerson Gives
Award Of Six Cents

Judge Albert H. Emerson O,
Redwood county district court due
into the files of his memory recent.
| ly to remember a decision award.
ed him years ago when he was 9
practicing attorney. He then made
it fit a case being argued in his
court.
The original case, which he won
before the supreme court, carried
la verdict of six cents. Presiding
April "a in Hennepin county dis
ttrict court, he was confronted by
a similar case and rendered the
same verdict.
The Hennepin county suit was
that of Albert Bethke against the
Midway Chevrolet company and
the Midway Finance company, in
which Bethke charged he had pur-
chased an automobile from the
motor company last May for $116
on the representation that it was
1880 model in good condition. Be
thke asserted that after he made
several payments he discovered
that the car was a 1929 model and
not in good condition, so he stop
ped making payments. The ma
chine was repossessed by the fin
ance company.
Judge Emerson dismissed the
charges against the finance COM
pany but felt the motor company
was liable for damages. Recalling
his early case he then instructed
the jury to award Bethke damages
amounting to six cents.

30 years, but no one in the family

the main winter wheat area of the
Dakotas, Minnesota and Nebraska,
he added, in protecting the crop and
providing moisture supply to carry
it through the spring.
The only area which has not re-
ceived helpful snow is the section
which needs it most-the "dust
bowl" of Kansas, Colorado, New
Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma
Kincer said. There the ground is
extremely dry and dust storms
have occurred during recent weeks.
'The prospects are that unless rain
falls in that area during the spring
we will have bad dust storms
again." he declared.
SIN all other sections of the coun-
try the moisture situation is favor
able and in the South there has
been too much rain. It is delaying
spring farming operations" Kincer
added.
Cooler, Wetter Summers
Thus far the cold has not ad-
versely affected agriculture, since
it has not caused any severe dam
age in southern truck crop areas,
he said. In the area stretching from
Ohio to Kansas the snow has not
been sufficient to protect the soil,
but the damage is not serious.
A reversal of the weather trend
will also mean a tendency toward
cooler, wetter summers, eliminating
fear of droughts, Kincer said.

HOLDS OUT NO
HOPE OF FUTURE
MILD WINTERS
25-Year Cycle May Be Ending Mild
Winters For Extremely Cold
Ones; Warmer Locally

Although the weather is almost
balmy in Ashe county this week in
comparison with past zero days, the
United States Weather Bureau
makes dire predictions for posi-
BILE future Is years. According to
the bureau, the chances are better
than even that cold and wet win
tiers will be the rule for some time
to come if the present one marks
the end of cycle of about Is years
in which the weather has been
growing progressively mild Ell
throughout the world.
Bureau officials will make no
predictions on that score, but have
been expecting for several years
that just such a reversal will occur.
If it comes, the winters for long
time in the future will make con-
ditions in recent winters seem al
most tropical by contrast.
The present cold spell has not
broken the maximum low tempera-
ture record of the United States,
which is Sc degrees below zero, set
in Yellowstone Park February 9,
1888. It is unusual, however, in set
ting many new records prolong-
ed severity, according to ]. B. Kin
Ger, chief of the division of climate
and crop weather.
'The persistently low tempera-
lures have brought the present cold
spell to one of the longest and most
severe ever experienced in this
country, and in some northwestern
districts all previous records for
continuous cold have been broken"
he declared.
Many reports of temperatures
ranging from 20 to 40 degrees be-
low zero have been received, Kin
Ger said.

LIMITS TO A JUDGES. WISDOM

IN Newark, court order separated mother from
her children the grounds that she is atheist
and a radical 1t was in divorce case involving
Mrs. Mabel Eaton and her husband, Warren.
Said the judge. There is no question, to my
mind, that the petitioner had submitted herself to
become thoroughly imbued with communistic and
atheistc doctrines The petitioner is, of course,
"a mistress of her SOUL But she is not privileged
to nstill into the minds of these young children,
against the will of their father doctrines looked upon
with adherence"
The children were delivered into the custody of
their father.
If conservative New Jersey judge rule
against radical parent, what is to prevent Min
nesota Farmer-Labor judge from ruling against a
conservative parent? What is to keep a Southern
Democratic jurist from snatching children from the
arms of a Republican mother? AND if an atheist
may be adjudged unfit for parental responsibilities,
what protection would a Presbyterian parent have
before an agnostc the bench?
In handling such domestic disputes would not
judges be on safe grounds to confine their rulings
to parental qualifications tangible than political
and religious doctrines which a particular judge
might abhor?

30 MILLION MAIDS

r P. MORGAN defines the leisure class as incud-
ing all those who can afford to keep maid and
estimates that there are 30 million such families
IF you destroy the leisure class you destroy civ
Iizaton," he warns
His definition of what constitutes leisure is bit
OF surprise in that does not include grouse shoot
ing But no surprising than his statistics.
We will assume that maid can be employed by
any family whose income is $500 year or more al
though that assumption would bring figure which
would exceed what the last census showed for do
mestic servants employed AS matter of fact
$500 won't leave much for other luxuries such as
automobiles and night clubs-after the groceries
have been bought and the rent paid and the cloth
ing provided and the rest of the necessities taken
care Of But we have to pick some figure, just as
Mr.. Morgan did. So we'll say $500. Probably what
you'd get in the way of help in that bracket would
be more of a hired girl than maid. Anyway, we
are at $500 and we are in the leisure class.
Now the tables show that there are in round num-
bers in the United States of America altogether IT,
100000 families of two or more persons. So Mr..
Morgan is 100000 over at the start, and has that
many maids than there are families Of the
total, 100000 families get less than $500 year.
Leaving 100000 who don't have to do their own
work" and loaf around and play pitch while
the dishes being DONE and be leisurey and save
civilization.
1t does look as if we are pretty the precipice
with only few million maids between and bar
barism. But might we'll be philosophical about
it. AS Mr.. Morgan himself says in the same inter-
view civilizations have died before but they always
came back" Biology can't be blocked just because
a lot of people have to work for living.
The thing that really worries is the statistical
inaccuracy of our bankers. We have right to
expect banker to be up on his figures.
