‘RGR EIGHT 13 STATES T0 GIVE BATTLE TO RUST DEMON This New Movement Aims at The Eradication of. the Barberry Bush MILLERS WILL COOPERATE Fargo, N, D., March 20.—The “Rust Prevention Association,” formed by. thirteen states in a meeting at St. Paul recently has behind it for the first time the whole hearted support of the millers of the Twin Cities, says Professor H. L. Bolley, chief plant pathologist of the Agricultural col] here. The movement aids at the erad- ication jof the barberry bush. Franklin Hi Crosby of the firm of Washburn Crosby, who was elected vice president of the association said, according to Mr. Bolley, “We are in with our coats off to dig out the bush es.” “People in general and especially the millers have become convinced that valuable wheats such as the vari- ety known as Marquis are very non- 1Gs.3.ant to lust. fence if they want to save these’ wheuts they must get the barberry bush on which the rust develops dug out—not only in the wavat states like, North Dakota but also in)thevsurrounding country, (Professor /BolleWeteeused’'the point that the movement muse a national one of it is to be effective:’"**The wind blowgth whither it listeth,” he declar- ed ‘‘and it cargies the spores of rust ajong ways.” ‘He added that as the barberry and rust have traveled west wheat culture has died out, first in the New England states, then in New York and now in Michigan. «6 © “The association decided that the federal .government: should: be ‘asked. for at least $500,000 for the work. It also recommended that states take an active part in the campaign and If possible appropriate funds to ‘help the work, 4 “The sum asked is insignificant, compared ‘with the enormous savings which will be made if rust is eradicat- ed. In 1916 the government estimated ‘that the minimum loss due to rust in the wheat states was 191,000,000, busb- els. The Canadian government esti- ‘mated its loss as 100,000 bushels. “Barberry eradication work jthrough- out the country-as a whole has not kept pace with the spread of the bush ‘and we will soon have another year ‘as bad as 1916. The aim of the move- ‘ment js to speed up eradication work.” Professor Bolley has been’ fighting the barberry for thirty years and is closely identified with the work along that line in the state. ‘ JURY TERM Is NEARING END Federal Court Probably Will Finish Jury Cases Today The last jury case of the present term of federal court here was’ being tried today. It was that of Russell Bryan, of Bismarck, charged with a Nquor law violation. It was expected that the case would be finished to- day, and jurymen and others were ex- pecting to go home tonight or tomor- row. Ole Kittleson, of Dunn Center, was acquitted by a jury late Saturday af- ternoon. He was charged with trans- porting liquor. His attorney, Scott Cameron, declared he was morally in- nocent. He said Mr. Kittleson, a highly respected citizen and man- /ager of more than one telephone ex- ‘change, had been aaked by another man to take him to the Indian fair at Ft. Berthold. The other man pulled out. a jug;of Jiguoton-the. way.

LIMIT WILL G0 THROUGH COURT Suit is Started in Devils Lake to Test Out Matter Important ° to Many Districts CASE, BHING RESISTED Devils Lake, N. D., March 20.—The question of the right Of school districts in North Dakota to increase their debt limit from five per cent to ten per cent of thcir assessed valuation for the purpose of erecting school buildings, is about to be tested in a Ramsey county case in district court. Lewis and residents of the Edmore Special kota through their attorneys. Flynn, Traynor & Traynor of Devils Lake have brought an action in the district ‘court of Ramsey county against the ‘board of education of the village of Edmore and against a number of par- ties who hold warrants issued for the more which warrants are claimed by |the plaintiffs to be in excess of the debt limit of the district. f Election Held. In February; 1921, an. election was held in.the school district of the vil- lage of Edmore for the avowed purpose of increasing the debt limit. from five per cent to ten per cent of the assess- ed valuation and the issuance of bonds; in'the sum of $30,000 for the purpose of completing “the iehoot Ruilding | Viger and thirteen other taxpayers!’ | School District of Edmore, North Da-} | erection of @ school ‘building at Ed-|, ~ structed. The school board considered it had an anthority:to%call this ‘elec; | tion by virtue of Section 183 of thé | Constitution of the State of “Ndtth Da: i kota as amended by, vote of, the Peo | le on March 16, 1920. It! appéars, | however, that the legislature has not ment and, the old stdtute limits the indebtednees -of a school district to five per cent: of its assessed valuation. The attorney general's office has tere: fore ‘held that the copstitutional, pi vision that a school district may in- crease its debt limit dn’ additional five per cent, thus:making the total limit ten per cent of the assessed valuation is not operative because of the fact that the legislature has failed to pass any law to put it into effect. The Edmore School District, thinking that they had legally authorized the in- creasing of the debt limit and the ta suance of the $30,000 worth of ‘bonds, proceeded to complete the erection of their school building at an expense of $30,000 or $40,000 and issued warrants to the contractors and others to pay therefore. When they came to market their bonds to. the: Board of University’ and School Lands, however, the bonds were refused for the reason. that the attorney.general ruled that the indebt- edness was in exceas of the legal.debt |: limit as provided by law. Warrants Holders Are Defendants, It is the contention of'the plaintiffs in this action that ‘these warrants amounting to $30,000 cr $40,000 are all in exncss of the Jegal five per cent debt limit‘and that therefore are fl. legal and void. The persons: holding the warrants have been made defend- ants and'the plaintiffs ask that all of the watrants be retired and cancelled for the reason that they are whoily yoid, The case is of considerable public intcrest for the reason, that a number of school districts are in much the tame dilemma as Edmore School ,Dis- trict finds itself. “The city of Devils Lake is in the same boat.. The Board of Education here Held a special elec- tion to authorize the issuance of bonds for the erection ‘of a $350,000 high school building and at that election'the people of the city’ voted to increase the debt limit an additional five per cnt and that these bonds be issued. Devils Lake, for the same reason as ‘Edmore, has been unable to market any bonds and for that reason Devils Lake has taken no steps towards the erection ofthe new high school build. ing.
