¢ 6 HALL CONDUCTS: MIGHT RAID ON AUTO SLACKERS Fifty Grand Forks Men Gathered Into Dragnet, -of. Secretary _ of State The day of reckoning which Secre- tary of State Hall had been promising ! auto registration slackers of the Red! River valley came last night when Hall with Deputy 0. T. Haakason, quietly dropped into’ Grand ‘Forks on! an evening train and without any great. amount. of fuss. proceeded to round up 5) Grand Forks citizens who haye been operating unregistered cars. The round-up netted just $500 in fines. This amount,.will. not help build roads, but will prove acceptable to the pub- lic school fund, The secretary of state slipped out of Bismarck on No. 4 yesterday morn- ing without advising anyone of his destination. His ‘office deputy knew only that the secretary was ‘bound for; the northern partsof the. state. Al- though technically defendant in su- preme court in the action brought by Judge Spalding on: behalf ot Olger B, Burtness, Hall’s actual presence was not required yesterday. It is understood that. the Grand Forks raid will be followed immedi- ately by similar round-ups in other Wed River valley towns. The arrest and fine does not relieve a car owner from: the necessity of purchasing a tag, and the procedure proves rather expensive for. the siackers. $39 000 MARK TO BE WADE: BY RED CROSS (Continued from page one) Telfer Township-— O.

FOR: BOOZE SHIPMENTS (Continued from Page One) On that date house bill No. 37 foes into effect, and this statpte, with the Webb-Kenyon federal ahti-booze act is being relied upon to make’ North Dakota very dry. The railways have signified their intention of abiding by these statutes, which means the au- thorities henceforth will have to cope only with overlanders who seek to smuggle the stuff across the line .by motor truck, wagon or other convey- ances, or who may seek to bring it up the river. Federal and state au- thorities plan to co-operate in guard- ing the border with a view to making smuggling both difficult and’ expen- sive. Only Two Wet Frontiers. After Saturday North Dakota will have but two wet frontiers, South Dakota returns to the dry column July 1. A few months later North ‘Dakota's wet boundaries will be still further reduced by Montana’s en- trance into the dry ranks. The north- ern boundary of the state is thorough- ly dry through local or provincial op- tion. . Even if national prohibition should not be enforced, it is predicted that North Dakotawill be completely surrounded ‘by prohibition territory within the next year or two, as Minne- sota prohibitionists are confident that they. can carry their state. ‘i As it is, federal and, state officials will have little trouble on the Mon- tana border, as very little liquor ever has come from that source, and the Minnesota frontier is not very exten- sive and is guarded by a natural bar- rier whicH will’ prove an ally of the law. Shipments Small. “Liquor shipments. have been small- er than we anticipated,” stated local freight agents this morning.’ “While the amount of stuff brought in has been above normal, it has not ap- proached the extent which was gen- erally predicted.” i “Booze business has been mighty heavy during the last two weeks,” re- ported. Bismarck express ; offices. “There's a lot of fellows stocking up, and they-haven’t taken. chances with slow freight shipments. “J know of a number. who have wired in orders today,” said one agent. “Orders delivered before 6 o’clock this evening will be accepted by the| express ‘companies.” Thirsty ones who have waited. until the eleventh hour, believing shipments | could be handled up to the closing day, are doomed to disappointment. | | Now it is even too late to wire. on —-_—— | CITY NEWS. ! | U | | Aberdeen Visitor—Mrs. Ben Eld-| rich of Aberdeen is spending some j time in the city, visiting friends. ..

PRODUCTS GROWING IN VALUE): | Sales of Wood by Farmers in Eastern States in One Year Exceeded Value of Entire Potato Crop, Says Uncle Sam. Contrary to general opinion the farm woodlots of the country not only fur nish immense amounts of material for district left St. Paul last Thursday | local use, but are important sources of | supply for timber for the general ma ket, says an expert of Uncl n's for: est service in a publication of the de partment. of agriculture, on “The Status and Value of Farm Woodlots in the Kastern United States.” Much of the choice hickory, ash and white oak now in use comes from farm woodlots. Many woodlots contain timber every bit as good as that in the larger tracts | and fully us capable of yielding high grade lumber, if properly sawed anid seasoned. Others have large quantities of pulpwood suitable for paper mak- ing, low-grade lumber for boxes, bolts for slack and tight cooperage, and ex- cellent material for veneer. In 1909, it is stated, the farmers of the eastern states alone received from the sale of their woodlot products an average of $81 for each reporting farm, or nearly $170,000,000, This was more than the value of the entire potato crop, nearly double that of the toba crop, and more than twice that of the combined barley and rye crops. In that year there were more than 148,000,000 acres of farm woodlands in the east- ern and central states. This amount was a decrease of about 15 per ceut from the figures reported in 1880, Products Increase in Value. Where agriculture is in the pioneer- ing state, it is pointed out, the sale of wood very often enables the farmer to tide over the first years during which he has not enough land in cultivation to support him. In later years the for use 01 ure of may of revenue, AS ive and the the farm and if taken settlement, becomes int 0} value of land advances, there is a ten- dency for the area devoted to wood- lots*to decrease. At the same time woodlot products increase in price and the value of the woodlots themselves is more generally recognized, Because it is a convenient source of firewood and other muterial, the high- est direct value of the woodlot, it is stated, is to the local conmunities, The farmers use more of the woodlot prod- ucts than th ell, Much of the mate- rial which i Id is consumed in the neighborhood and many small y cooperage and other wood-w plants derive their entire supply from cal woodlots, It is pointed out that there is every incentive for communities to encourage the development of local woodlots and thereby protect themselves from = fu- ture timber scarcity and high prices. {With proper trgatment woodlots owners, but the nature of the such that ownership of relatively large ureas is necessary to insure annual supplies of the various kinds of timber equired for local consumption, Community Ownership Practiced. Community ownership of woodlands, s alrendy practiced hy about sixty ies in the country, will oftentimes imake available the necessary land. In Kurgpe community forests have long been established and yield good re- ‘turns on the investment they represent. The Swiss city of Zurich, for example, derives about $20,000 per year from a woodlot of 2,500 ner !

Supply Is Abundant but Problem Is to Get Tt Out of Ground and Deliv. ered Promptly at the Prop. er Places. The pound of coal that you, Mr. Citizen, may save today may contain the last gasp of energy necessary to drive a shell home true to the enemy, and spell victory instead of defeat. The pounds of coal many Mr. Citi- zens may save today may forge the Shells that may decide the war in favor of a world’s democracy. The pounds of coal many Mr. Cit! j zens may save on many days may hasten the end of the war and save| thousands of lives, This is the statement of Francis 8. Peabody, chairman of the National Coal Board, Council of National De fense, in an appeal issued to all the People of the country in an effort to have them conserve in the use of fuel so that there may at all times be a sufficient quantity available for battle- ships, the munition factories, the rail- roads, and all enterprises that are making materials for use in the war, “It is not that we do not have the coal in this country,” continued Mr. Peabody. “Perhaps no country in the world is so blessed with such a su- perabundance, but it is a question of digging it out of the ground fast enough and having prompt deliveries by the railroads at the places where it is most needed. ‘ “The less coal the householder uses, therefore, the moje there will be for the essential industries, the men of which in this industrial war are all soldiers as much as the man who wears a uniform and marches to the front. Householder Can Save. “But the householder asks where he comes in. In the fffst place, in many homes throughout the country; he can maintain a less number of coal fires. He can even shorten the num- ber of hours they are in operation. He can see that gas stoves are turned off as soon as the cooking is over. When the weather is cool, he can car- ry lower temperatures in his home than he has been accustomed to, un- less there Is illness in the house. A temperature of 60 degrees instead of 70 is sufficient. Then he can operate fewer gas and electric lights and see that they are turned off when not needed or when he leaves the room, “And this leads to the suggestion that, if ever there were need for the introduction of the proposed daylight- saving act throughout the country, it is now. Begin work an hour earlier and.quit an hour earlier. That imme- diately would take an hour’s burden from the street railways, the electric Hght companies and the electric pow- er companies. ‘The ‘owl’ car would be an hour earlier. People would be sleeping instead of using lights gen- erated by coal. In compact little Eng- land, with daylight saving, they have saved 300,000 tons of coal in a year. “In time of war the coal wasted in this manner is ‘luxury’ coal, and that leads to the thought that Americans are the greatest advertisers in the world with their brilliantly-lighted downtown sections of great cities; the mammoth electric advertising signs blazing for miles, and their elaborate ‘White Cities,’ their Coney islands and their ‘Dreamlands.’ It 1s all very well to be up and doing and pushing your product in a big way in peace times, reflecting much enter- prise upon American methods of do- ing business. But In war time doesn't all this tremendous expenditure of energy from coal mean the use of uxury’ coal which ought to be stopped from a pure spirit of patriot- ism? { Saving “Luxury” Coal. “For the time being, let’s save this ‘luxury’ coal that goes into amuse- ments and extravagances and frivoll- ties. S6me American merchants may call this sacrifice, but to my mind it isn’t sacrifice at all when we think of the Washington widow whose brave | son, member of a United States navy crew, gave up his life when his vessel was torpedoed by the Germans, the first navy victim of the.war. Any- how, we all have to make sacrifices n times like these. “The largest anthracite operator in the United States expressed himself ks entirely puzzled at the present sit- uation of soaring prices in anthracite coal. He knows that the production is as great as it has ever been and can only explain the present situation | ‘by saying that it is probably due to | tne national extravagance of the | American householder. Coal, he says, is being stored by overanxious and selfish people, disturbing the natural as they wear. models and: patterns models and patterns .. Our advertising is kept with care. If clothing were wheat, we'd keep ‘it to sell later, ‘o:f' for our own eating. But while clothes are to wear, we can’t’ keep ‘em to wear ourselves; and they don’t keep half as well CLEARANCE PRICES $18 and $20 Suits, this year’s $25 and $30 Suits, this year's something, and, like a promise is a moral obli- gation that must be made with caution and S.

DICKINSON AND NAPOLEON HAD LIGHT RAIN TUESDAY Dickinson and ‘Napoleon enjoyed a light rainfall last night, Dickinson reg- istering .08 inch and Napoleon 05. There was a mere trace of rain at Bottineau. Cloudy weather was re- ported throughout the state today, and more rain seems imminent. Spring wheat generally is reported much im- proved, except that which was. late sown in North Dakota. Wheat is head- ing out in the central west and the heads are well filled everywhere ex- cept in parts of the southwest. In the vicinity of Bismarck crop reports generally are very favoravie. Wheat is of a good color. It will begin heac- ing out next week, and a couple of good rains would help a great deal. SUPT. MOORE DELIVERS ‘ADDRESS BEFORE MASONS Dr. J. G. Moore, superintendent of the Bismarck district, has returned from Beach, where he delivered the address before the Masons at the spe- cial meeting held Sunday to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the organiza- tion of modern Masonry. Dr. Moore also spent a short time in Dickinson, where he visited with Rev. Craig of the Methodist church of that city. The handsome new church edifice being erected by the Dickinson congregation is rapidly nearing completion and is expected to be dedicated next fall dur- ing the time conference is in session there.

Lemke Not a Member. “Lemke, himself,” followed. up Judge Spalding, “is not a member of the republican state central commit- tee, and he never undertook to call a meeting of that committe in the congressional district.” Bronson’s Argument. Harry A. Bronson, assistant attor- ney general, who represented Secre- tary of State Hall, made a. point of the fact that Burtness had voluntarily procured his nomination by petition, thus signitying his agreement with. the opinion of the attorney general and the proclamation of the governor. Bronson claimed that inasmuch as Burtness’ name already appears through his own act, in the individual column, he cannot procure the trans- fer of his name to a party column. He argued that the caucus system of nominating candidates has been for- ever repealed by law. The caucus plan he referred to as the “old gang system.” He also insisted that the nomina- tion of Burtness was made too tate, even were the convention system le- gal. “Why didn’t they get. busy. in April, when he was dead and every- body knew he was dead?” shouted the excited prosecutor. He insisted that the legally consti- tuted head of the republican organ- ization has made a nomination which tho court must accept as final if it finds the convention system legal. Tells of League Victory. Lemke devoted his arguments largely to a story of how the \Non- partisan league a year ago captured the republican. organization and made him chairman, and how the old guard has sought to undermine the organi- zation. He told how full power was given at the organization of the state central committee to an executive committee composed of one member from each judicial district, and how this committee was called together in Fargo and Baer was nominated as the republican candidate for congress to save the grand old party from. the grasping old gang. When all arguments were conclud- ed, the question as to the date upon which a decision must be rendered was taken up, and it was agreed that this decision should be down not later than Saturday. Hoth sides were giv- en another day in which to file mem- oranda briefs. ES movement of this necessary com- modity and unduly increasing the} price.
