South made a constructive bid of to take the governor's oath of office he would automatically become com- mander-in-chief of the National Guard of the state. Here is an example which might eavtig to enlighten some of the flag wing populace who are so quick to criticize the guard. Last spring it was rumored that @ man from Chicago was heading toward Bismarck for the nefarious purpose of kick- ing down the stete-house. The gov- ernor, as any other good governor would do, promptly ordered out the “militia.” The adjutant general re- ceived the order, which he in turn) transmitted to the commanding offi- cer of Co. A.

The Play Miss Stratford received o difficult opening—the seven of spades —which she won with the jack. She immediately realized that she would have to guess the diamond finesse and decided that, as West had opened a short spade suit, he might hold the queen of diamonds. ‘Therefore, her next play was king of diamonds, followed by the jack of diamonds. West refused to cover the jack and Miss Stratford let it ride. She then played the nine of diamonds, and overtook in dummy with the ten. East dropped a heart. The ace of diamonds was cashed and East was squeezed—if he let go a club, the king would drop the single- ton jack, and she then would have s finessing position over West's queen. East could not let go a spade or Miss Stratford would make five spade tricks. The only play for Bast was to drop the four of hearts. Miss Stratford then let go the deuce of spades. The queen of spades in dummy was cash- oft Gi | She next cashed her ace and king of spades. On the ace, West dropped a club, but on the second spade West {was squeezed. He could not release 8 heart or declarer’s ace-ten would be good, so he was forced to'discard an- other club, leaving him with the queen and four. Miss Stratford now led the king of clubs and then played the ten. West had to cover with the queen, the ace won in dummy, and East’s jack drop- ped, making dummy’s nine good; and, of course, the last tricks was won with the ace of hearts.
