as Well as Flowers, Eggs

Easter is time of new business as
1t is time OF new flowers and new
eggs. AS rule, there is an absolute
divorce in most minds between bust
ness and nature, spring and per cenr.
yet in real life the two are intimately
connected. With the resurrection of
the fields in spring comes the resur-
rection of business in the city. Every

very gratifying signs OF prosperity.
Probably the best indicator of the

Grand Forks is the heart and center

an establishment does not only sell
to the citizens of the city in which it
is located, but it sells to the outly-

follows that its business is a safe in

district.
The head of one of these large
establishments talked very entertain
ingly as to the prosperity OF Grand
Forks this Easter. He started out by
saying that Easter is only second to
Christmas as a time for buying. Just
before the time, the people buy to
make themselves presentable on the
day when the light suit replaces the

the country is enjoying a great wave
of prosperity. The demand is for
finer grades of material; such a de-

to keep up with it, for the reason that
we are unable to have all our orders
filled. The mills this year are manu.
featuring much better grades of stuff

that the people want the finer stuffs'
and have the money to pay for them.
The prices are higher. but they are
getting more money. One reason for

OPINION Of McCUE
ON DENATUR|zED
ALCOHOL
Attorney General Says Manu-
facture Does Not Infringe
on State Constitution.

"The question is frequently asked
at this time as to whether the manu.
facture of denatured alcohol for fuel.
power, and manufacturing purposes,
can be produced in North Dakota
without violating the constitutional
provisions" said Professor Ladd.
ut seemed desirable to have an ex-
preston from the attorney general as
to his Interpretation on this particu-
lar point; therefore, under date of
March 10, requested statement in
order that the information could be
placed before the people of the state
who have expressed much interest in
the matter. l append herewith the
reply of the attorney general
Bismarck, N. D., March 20. 1907
Hon. E. F. Ladd, Agricultural College,
N. D. Dear Sir: Replying to your
communication of the 18th inst, i'm
which you ask, can denatured alcohol
be manufactured in North Dakota
from farm products to be used as fuel
and for manufacturing purposes with
out violating the statutes or the con-
stitution of the state, would say that
section 217 OF the constitution pro-
vides: No person. association or
wi pOl oJlOA shall WllulU ILLS SIdJe,
manufacture for sale or gift. any in
toxicating liquors, and no person, as
ISOLATION or corporation shall import
any of the same for sale or gift, or
keep or sell or offer the same for sale,
or gift, barter or trade as a beverage
While section 1858 of the code pro-
vides practically the same and is for
the purpose of carrying out and put
ting into force the constitutional pro-
vision.
1T will be seen from the constitu-
ton and the section above quoted, that
the offense is committed by selling in
toxicating liquors contrary to the
statute as a beverage. The national
law providing for the manufacture of
denatured alcohol, provides how it
will be done, and If the law is carried
out In the manufacturing of it, it can
not be used as a beverage. Therefore,
1t Is my opinion that the manufacture
or sale of denatured alcohol as pro-
vided by the federal law would not in
any way violate the constitution or
laws of this state.
Yours truly,
CSigned) IT. F. McCue,
Attorney General"

the florist knows that Easter cannot be
Easter without his contribution to the
general observance of the wonderful
day. One is inclined to think of the
flowers of Easter as the product of that
morning instead of the result of many
weeks Of careful and tender care on
the part of the florists and his assist
ants. This year the crop of blossoms
will be even more beautiful than ever.
The green houses are filled with the
blossoms at just the right stage of
their development so that upon Easter
morning the full glory of the flowers
may be available to help in the wor-
ship OF the day.
I'VE are going to have the greatest
flowers we ever had," said an enthusi-
astic feminine florist today. "The

Among the cut flowers there will be
the roses and carnations and violets
and Easter lilies and tulips and j6n-

Easter time is for the Towering plants.
Many of the florists are showing new
and graceful baskets and basket hats
for the adornment of the pots of
flowers, and many a blushing azalia
will go forth as an Easter morning
gift in a coquettish bonnet of pink
tulle. To see the store in the glory
undismantled, one should call in on
Thursday, and the more orders left
at that time the less the rush on Sat-
