The productive possibil- ities of our county are placed before thé thousands of visitors from other states as well as our own. Now is the time to prepare and commence to gather native or wild m?ssea. In this class we need twenty varieties and the that produce a seed head should be gathered as soon as the head is fully out, but before they ripen and lose the green color, the grass should be tie’ifl in bundles loosely and cured in- side away from strong light ina buj!ldin; with good ventilation. *The samples must be two inches at’band when cured, all leaves left pro- varieties NUMBER 50.

Earle Cochran, the small brother of the bride, was ring bearer. The rooms were made beautiful with cut flowers, pink dnd white be- ing the color scheme carried out in the decorations, roses, ferns and smilax being used.

The grasses should be taken care of the same as wild grasses. ,“The clovers when possible should be gathered when the blossom is in full bloom. They should be cured in a dark place but where the ventila- tion is good to prevent moulding, tied wnh one band near the butt, and susnended heads down when curing. “‘l am in hopes that a good lot of sample be gathered by our farmers, as these samples can also be used to compete for prizes at our county fair next fall. .“Qur railroad companies are ar- anging to give prizes at our county fair on grasses, clovers, alfalfa and stock.

ARE MANY ORDERS UNFILLED First Shipment Under Ashland Co- operative Plan Received There —Contained 71 Head. DIFFICULTY IN OBTAINING THEM To Many Heifer Calves are Butchered for Veal—Not Only Waste But Economic Crime. In speaking of the condition of stock in Minnesota in general, E. C. Stiles, buttermaker at the Bemidji creamery, today said: “There exists today an enormous demand for dairy cattle in North Da- kota, Montana, Minnesota and Wis- consin, and it seems that the dairy centerg in Wisconsin and Illinofs and the few scattered centers in neighbor- ing states are entirely unable to sup- ply the demand. “For instance, a letted from Dean of Madison, published’ in a recent issue of the ‘Lake Superior Farmer,” states that there are at the present time orders in- the hands of the Lake Mills breeders for 15 car- loads that have not been filled. “The already established dairy centers are evidently reaping a- gol- den narvest. “The farmers of Minnesota are be- ing soundly criticized by dairy pa- pers because there are so few centers for raising blooded stock. <%Of course the southern counties of the state haye the advantage over us we- should - begin] our herds and:it is, surprising what can be done in a few years. “Ashland, Wisconsin has a co-op- erative pan of buying dairy cattle. According to the ‘Lake Superior Far- mer’ the first three carloads of dairy stock purchased by the Ashland banks on this plan have now arrived and been disposed of to the farmers around that city. “The shipment contained 71 head of Guernsey and Holstein grade cows and heifers. The paper states that the buyers experienced many - diffi- culties in securing this small num- ‘ber of cattle, that the prices’ were high and that it had been impossible to secure ‘sufficient stock to fill all orders, “Consider this together with the needs of North Dakota and many other places for dairy cattle—or al- most any kind of just Plain cows or starters—and the establishment :of cow producing centers looks both necessary and profitable. it “In this connection farmers should be very careful to raise every heifer calf. Too many of them are butch- ered for veal. Under present condi- tions this is a fearful waste, not to {{say an economic crime, that is a fac- tor in the high cost of living and in | the declination of soil fertility in certain territories. “Dairy cows and any kind of cows !l are in demand and will be in demand for years to come. As a matter, of :|fact, there are not cows, beef and dairy, enough, and to butcher the heifer calves is indeed acting against plain -common sense, viewing the subject broadly.” Start Work on Storm Sewers. - Louis Eckstrum has engaged sev- eral men to lay the storm sewers on Beltrami avenue and the actfve work will commence in.a few days. The {| pipes must be laid before any paving| can be done on this avenue and it is probable that. paving operations will be delayed for a few days.

Red “{Ing, June 26.—The sherift’s Loffice here late yesterday afternoon took steps to serve warrants returned yesterday by the grand jury against railroads entering - Goodhue county for violating the state Z—ceni_ rate law. The three railroads affected are the Chicago - Great Western, the North-Western and the Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul. The grand - jury was discharged early yesterday afternoon. None of the jurors would give any informa- tion as to the indictments, and other county officials were equally reticent. The indictments found yesterday are the result of action taken by Judge Albert Johnson .of Goodhue county court nearly a month-ago. Although at that time the Federal supreme court had not remndered its decision in the Minnesota rate case and it was generally supposed all state and county officials were re- sfrained from acting in the matter, Judge Johnson charged the grand jury that it should indict the rail- roads which have violated the 2-cent law in the state. The jury, however, at that time failed to return any indictments, de- claring its belief that the case being -then in the court, should not inter- fere. Judge Johnson was indignant at the report of the grand jury and in- stead of discharging it at that time, he said he would call the members to- gether again later. This week he re- peated his. demand that they imdict the railroads.

MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE_HOLDING TWO OFFICES Crowell Issues Order Binding George- - " Cole tp-Grand Jury Under Au- thority .Lost March 1. WAS COURT COMMISSIONER Stfilton Gives Opinion That Latter Office Was Left Vacant When New Duties Were Begun. IN MEANTIME PRISONER FLEE§: Placed in Jail But When First Act- tion Was Declared Hlegal Was Released. and “Skipped. Yesterday a hearing was had be- fore A. M.. Crowell, as Court Com- missioner, at the conclusion of Which George Cole was bound over to the Grand Jury on the charge of keep- ing a dlsorderly house at Nymore. Cole, through his attorney, C. W. Scrutchin, Tefused to give bail, but insisted on being committed to jail. A writ ‘'of habeaus corpus was im- mediately obtained by his attorney was heard before a few hours and the matter Judge Stanton within after commitment issued. The points raised by Mr. Scrutchin were that the offices of Court Com- missioner and Judge of the Munici- pal Court were inconsistent. and in- compatible _and ‘that by acceptance of the office of Municipal Judge, he, by implication of law, resigned his office as Court Commissioner. In"support of his. contention - Mr, Scrutchin. ealledthe attention of the court to-the fact that if one person could--hold- ‘both -offiees, then—Mr. - Crowell, while Teceiv! ng l..nla.ry from. the city, could hold,a prelim-- inary examination. -as Court Com- - missioner #nd put the-fees:in: his own.pocket, whereas, “if he held: the. - same proceeding as Municipal Judge, the fees would go to his employer, the City of Bemidji that this raised a keen conflict between interest and duty and .could not be permitted. The further .contention was made -. that if the two offices could be held by the same person, then. the Court _ Commissioner, having all the pow- ~ ers of ‘a District Judge at Chambers, could review on appeal, a ¢ase which he had previously decided as Municipal Judge and that therefore one office was subordinate to the other, and one had supervision and control over the other. e The county attofney raised the point: that these questions could not be raised in a habeaus corpus. pro- ceeding, but the court held other- wise. Mr, Crowell, who was present at the heafing, claimed that his fight to hold the two offices could not be interfered with except in a direct action brought for that purpose. In response to an inquiry from the court as to the propriety of holding an examination as Court Commis- sioner and keeping the fees when, if he acted as Municipal . Judge he would merely get his salary and the same fees would go to.the city that paid him his salary, he replied, that. as the county paid the fees in any event, he did not see that it mat- tered to whom they were paid. Mr. Crowell further stated that an at- torney of this city other than the county attorney drew the complaint, and assured him that he had a right to 80 act. Judge Stanton stated that he was satisfled that the two offices were inconsistent and incompatible; that by accepting the office of Municipal Judge, Mr. Crowell abandoned his office of court commissioner, that. it amounted to a resignation from the office of court commissiner, and that 0o proceedings were necessary to declare the_ office vacant; that for these reasons Mr. Crowell had no authority to issue a warrant as court commiaslonsr, that the restraint of the defendant was therefore withiout authority of law, and that he be dis- charged. Judge Stanton stated that he would file a formal decision later. A warrant for the re-arrest of Cole . issued by the Municipal Court, was - placed in the hands of the sheriff immediately after. the court ren- r n, but up to the time
