De + ee COOPERATIVEGRAIN |°i-b-Youth Honorea’ ORGANIZATION SUES BONDING COMPANIES Wheat Growers Warehouse Company Starts Test Case In District Court Here Suit against’ bonding companies for warehouse deficieneies totaling §1,- 562.92 has been filed in Burleigh coun- ty district court by the state railroad commission as trustees for the Wheat oanie Nea company, a co- operative organization operatii in North Dakota. a ‘The suit was brought as a test case involving 36 elevators owned by the warehouse company within the state. The shortage was incurred at the elevator at Burleigh. The plaintiff seeks to recover the $1,562.92 as a part of $10,556.94 in shortages incurred by 31 of its ele- vators. In resisting the sult the de- fendants, the Wheat Growers Ware- house Casualty company and the Maryland Casualty company, claim offsets of $7,796.78 as the result of overages in 15 of the organization’s elevators. The plaintiff takes the po- sition that all creditors have an equal Hen against overages and that the bonding companies are liable for the shortages of each elevator separately without regard to overages in other elevators operated by the company. The action was brought under bonds totaling $180,000 carried with the in- surance companies named in the suit by the Grain Growers organization. Attorneys for both sides have been instructed by Judge Fred Jansonius to file briefs in support of their claims. James Morris, attorney general, is counsel for the railroad commission, while O'Hare, Cox and Cox of Bis- marck and Conmy, Young and Con- my of Fargo are attorneys for the de- fendants.

That's the appraisal of mod- ern shoppers by Mrs. John D. Sherman of Washington, D. C., past president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs and chairman of the federation’s American home pen She participated ursday in the inauguration of a non-com- mercial clinic of household sci- ence, an educational institution designed to teach intelligent buy- ing. Mrs. Sherman said our grandmothers knew how and what to buy. “They knew how to fudge qual- \ty because most of the textiles they used they made,” she said. “They had the advantage in that life was simpler, their needs fewer, and they were not con- fused by the profusion of articles from which the modern house- wife has to choose.” Diphtheria Fatal to Morton County Child Matthew Barth, four-year-old son ef Mr. and Mrs. Matt Barth, living 21 miles north of Mandan, died here at 6 p. m., Wednesday of laryngeal ciphtherla. He had been ill for five days. Besides his parents, the child leaves two brothers, Richard, 2, and Harold, two months, and one sister, Agnes, five years old. ‘ Private funeral services will be held at 11:15 a. m., Thursday, at St. Vin- cent's Catholic church north of Man- dan with the local pastor officiating. Burial will be in the church ceme- tery. Public health officers began a check of other persons in the vicinity of the Barth home Wednesday in an ef- fort to prevent further spread of the disease.

Then he told about that boot~ legger's bill, but the police think the bootleggey may have meant “or else I'll have to wait longer for my money.” ‘The police said they found El- mer’s story—about the holdups— was correct.
