NORTH DAKOTA NBVER WAS DRY DECIDES COURT Belated Knocking Out of Liquor Ban Statute Small Con- solation Now JUGGLING IS DISCOVERED In an opinion handed down Tues- day evening the North Dakota su- preme court unanimously agrees that North Dakota’s famous “bone dry” act of 1917 was never passed. This places the state in much the same po- sition as the Irishman who frantically protested from his cell that “they couldn’t put him in jail.” The opinion was rendered in tho case of the state versus John Schultz, which was appealed by Schultz from Ramsey county. Schultz, who lives at Devils Lake, was convicted in the lower court of bringing liquor into tae state in violation of the bone dry act. He appealed on grounds frequently cited by Justice ©. Robinson to the effect that this statute never was le- gally passed by the Lith assembiy, and the supreme court holds that he was corrected. The verdict of the) lower court is reversed. The fifteenth assembly in 1917 had under consideration an act defining the amounts of liquor which could legally be held to be for personal use within the meaning of the North Da- kota constitution. The bill originates in the house and was amended in the senate to allow each North, Dakota tippler four quarts of whiskey; sundry gallons of wine and 76 quarts of beer each month. It went back to the house in this shape, and there it is at- leged that the clerk, A. E. Bowen of league | headquarters, statute to suit himself ring tothe senate for its opinion, and when he had finished with it the act prohibited the bringing in of any quantity of liquor and made North Da- kota an adsolute Sahara. Bowen certified the bill to the sec- retary of state as passed, althougi the house journal clearly showed that there had ‘been no roll-call in tie house on the senate amendments and nene in the senate on tie alleged Bowen amendments. It is on the fact that the journals of the senate and house show that no final action was had on.these last amendments that the supreme court bases its ruling that the bill was never passed and that North Dakota has never legaliy been bone dry. It is not known that any convic- tions other than that of Schultz were had under the bone dry act. It bs came an instrument, however, in the conviction of liquor importers. under the federal statutes, and many violat- ors were assessed heavv fines or pris- on sentences in the United States dis- trict court. It ij held, however, that under the Reed amendment. the feder- al courts could have convicted even without the bon dry act, so long as the sale of liquor !was taboo. j TRUCK MAKERS TO TOUR STATE WITH UNUSUAL EXHIBIT National Association to Come With Great Entourage and Naval Band Twenty automobile truck manufac- turers, members of the ciation of Motor Truck will tour six northw chject of the tour being to farmers the idea of moto iudustry.” At least one full day will be devoted to Bismarck, ‘This tour will be participated in by 20 truck factories, each factory being limited to one entry. The capacit) range will be from one té two and a half tons. And furthermore, each truck must be equipped with pneu- matic tires. But the thing that distinguishes it perhaps most is that the tour is run solely with the idea in view of selling to the farmer the idea of motorizing of his acreage. The entrants will not carry any specific advertising mater extolling the virture of this or that particular truck. They -will carry no literature other than that which gets the O. K. of the National Association of Truck Sales: Managers. And the literature that gets this O. K. will be literature that is for the good of the entire motor truck and farm industry.

Thirty-two cities have already made application to the War Department to cooperate with them in establishing municipal airdromes which will be properly lighted, policed, and which will contain hangers, accessories, parts, etc. The air mail service between New York and Chicago is only the forerun- ner of a regular passenger service be- tween the two cities. The fact that army fliers, mail fliers and passenger-| carrying fliers can all use the same aerial station will reduee costs. Basing their figures upon the work done in carrying passengers, mail and express between London and Paris, a s|large British concern is now su2mit- ling figures to the post office depart- ment for carrying airmail from New York to Chicago, which they believe can be done at the same price as is now charged by the regular mail serv- ice.

In Bismarck proper less than three-quarters of an inch had fallen since June 1 up to Tuesday afternoon, when, after a brisk shower, there set in a steady drizzle which continued with little interruption until after midnight. The total: precipita- tion at the local station was .56 of an inch, sufficient, it is believed, to sat- uprate the. soil to a depth of several inches and, to insure a sufficiency of moisture, for a week or ten days to come for corn, flax, potatoes and the pastures, all Of which were badly in need of rain. This week’s downpour will be of lit- tle benefit to wheat, which is gen- erally headed out and ready for the reaper, but its value to cattlemen in improved ranger and heavier growths of forage ‘crops cannot ibe over-esti- mated. For such flax as there is in this section the rain came at the Psychological moment. . Flax general- ly is,,in blossom or near the bloom- ing stage, and this rain will advance the heading out process and insure heavy, well-filled bolls. ‘With a prob- ability that flax will tbe worth not less than $7.50 the bushel this fall, even a very small yield will make this a profitable crop. Unfortunate- ly much of. the flax in this region was sown just in advance of the drouth, and there was not sufficient moisture immediately after seeding to pro- mote germination. Only .03 of an inch of rain was re ported Tuesday at Dickinson. That section, however, had enjoyed a good rain on Monday. At Ellendale there was .83 of an inch; at Jamestown, .60; at Lisbon, .64; at Napoleon, 1.05, and at New England, .37 of an inch, which; was a real god-send to this parched region. Writing from Fryburg, Verne King, cooperative observer of the United States »weather bureau, says: “Two hard rains fell this morning totaling .70 of an inch. This is the first rain of any consequence since May 3. Although too late and too light tobe of any. benefit to crops, it fell fast enough to fill up the small creeks and water-holes, especially in the Lad Lands, and will afford tem- porary relief ‘to stock in some places where the’ water, shortage was be- coming acute.” ——+ ———— i CITY‘ NEWS | To St. Paul Miss Lillian Wehlitz left on Satur- day evening for St. Paul, where she will spend a few weeks.
