I realiy do not believe it would remedy matters much under existing conditions and it might curtail more jobs with no beneficial results. “A law that we have in mind and which should be pasged by the coming session cf the state legislature, would be expedient and simple and would not cause much * additional expense. It would put an end to rustling for all time. Such a law would be modefea after a Canadian law that is practical and workble. By its provisicns an of- ficer of the law could compel anyone to produce i edjatety proof of cwn- ership of any ‘cattle or horses in his possession. Failure to preduce such evidence would invoke heavy penal- ties. Such a law would not work a hardship on any farmer or rancher, for if they be henest and straightforward they will gladiy comply with the re~ Quest and produce the necessary’ pa- papers.” Other legislation which Is favered in this ecunty is to apportion motor vehicle licenses to the respective can. ties and place them on aale in Thu re- spective court houses. The counties shoul reap the entire benefit from the sale of these licenses minus the actual cost of the plates themsetves, instead ef sending half the amount so coilect- ed to the state highway department. There seems to be a widespread dis- position that taxes should net become delinquent until the 31st of December instead of the 30th of November, for the reason that the season is entirely toc short under present conditions to market live sock and grain and get returns jin time té pay the current year's taxes. ~ . Frank T. Kelsey Commissioner Frank T. Kelsey of Moorhead .and Broadus on Monday was appointed county commissioner by Judge 8. D. McKinnon tc fill the vacancy caused the next day. “Mr-o“Kelsey has accepted the appcintment. He possesses quali. fications which fit. him for the-posttion and his friends are confident he will make good. “Lam not quite so sure whether it is congratulations in becoming the ap- meeting conditions ahead,” said Kel- sey, but in accepting the positicn, 1 fully understand and realize the’ im- portance that attaches to the office, and it will be my policy to assist my colleagues cn the board in running this county the same as one would success- fully conduct his own business, by giv- ing the work the closest attention and undérstanding to the end that condi- ticns will improve by decreasing t»xa- tion and curtailing other unnecersary or extravagant public expenses.” ————— CHINOOK TURNS WINTER : ALMOST INTO SUMMER After a season of sub-zero weather that lasted nearly two weeks, the maximum temperature being recorded at 32 degrees below zero Sunday n'ght, a Chinock took possession of the land and this week has held the tempera- ture above the freezing point.

The Orst ag of the play opens with Scrooge, a tight-fisted, unfeeling, mer- cenary money-lender, who in a versation with his nephew telis his opinicn of Christmas, and calls it “nothing but a time for finding your- self a’ year older and not a penny richer.” Scrooge is then visited by a committee seeking a contribution fer charity. He tells them in no misiaken language that their demands are vain. The act closes by Serooge srudgingly giving his underpaid and overworked clerk a day off on Christmas day.
