Seven hundred and’ sixteen local car owners, according to reports, received by Secretary of State Hall, are violat- ing ‘the state automobile registration law. “dt is not the desire of this. depart- ment. to do anything radical,” said Mr. Hall. this morning, “but I would so- riously advise every car owner in Bismarck and elsewhere in North Da- kota to put-up $8 for a tag rather than to take chances of paying some justice of the peace $15 and then put- ting up for the tag in addition. We know that thousands of car owners have never registered their machines. Formerly we had no. way. of getting at these violators. Now we have, the last iegislature having passed a stat- ute which gives the secretary of state authority to employ. agents for the enforcement of the registration» act. These agents are now on the job and it would be well for car owners to ‘watch a little bit out.’” 400,000. ACRES. WHEAT. PREDIGTED “W NORTH DAK Statistician. Thistlethwaite Anti- t : cipates Largest Acreage of Foodstuffs in History “I expect to see at least 8,000,000 acres planted to wheat in ‘North Da- kota,” said iR. H. Thistlethwaite, stat- istician with the state commissioner of agriculture and labor, this morn- ing. “The general tendency is to put in every acre that will grow :foodstuffs. The. only thing that can stop an un- precedented acreage will be a short: age of seed. We have reason to be- lieve that, under favorable ‘conditions, even last year's shrunken grain will make. fair seed. Then, too, there is a lot of 1915 seed wheat in the coun- try—not nearly so.much as we could wish, but a considerable quantity. “Winter rye came-thropgh in, fine shape. ‘The condition of wintef wheat in this state is right around 100 per cent. The seed beds. generally are in good condition. The situation is such that every man who has the means will put in a crop of something this spring,-on: his own or on-leased land. I don’t look for an.acre of North Da- kota soil to be wasted this year, and with favorable conditions we should have a stupendous crop.” °o HAS.A NEW REO. Governor Lynn J.

Pos- tlethwaite, pastor of the First Presby- terian church, this afternoon gave the | following message to the members of | friends of the late N. ‘PF. Prenti A. Vale, Harry Earwind and A. Von Hagen, at the services held in the city auditorium: “Go to now, ye that say today or cha city] und continue there a year, and buy and sell and get gain; wher ye| know not what shall be on the mor-| row.

The old images of deatft were the skull and the crossbones, the darkened house, the hearse and black robes of darkness. Christ then} came, our Easter King and with one blow he shattered these barbarous conceptions. “Dying w: homegoing and death was an entrance to the Father's ho Here men burn with fever and shiver with cold, yonder is the soul’s Summerland. Here _ the tree ripens fruit once a year, there every month, Here men are starved and pinched and dwarfed, there they shall grow and know. Here reason is) but a spark, there it is a flame. Here song is but a single note, there it is! a symphony. Here man drinks at a! broken ci there flows the river of the waters of life.” And these are! 6 mere poetic but they are the glorious that comfort and cheer the n heart as he looks at the broken seal, the stone rolled back, and the joyful emptiness of the tomb on the slopes of Calvary. And is it not fitting that we should see in the warp and woof of this Easter traged, the great truths ahd joys of the Eas-! ships—“Buy live alone. We exchange wares with) one another—‘No man liveth unto himself and no man dieth unto him- self.” These men were comrades through the practice of that with one another that write faults of their brothers on the and their virtues on the tablets of | love and memory they were doing their part to usher in a real brother- hood among men.
