LOCAL OPTION
Law ATTACKED
CLERK OF BOULDER COUNTY EN-
JOINED FROM CERTIFYING
ELECTION RESULTS.
DAY SET FOR HEARING
LIQUOR MEN CLAIM LAW IS UN.
CONSTITUTIONAL BECAUSE
OF DISCRIMINATION.

Denver.-By supersedeas issued
by the Supreme Court Thursday after
noon the county clerk of Boulder coun-
ty is enjoined from certifying the re-
suits Of the local option election held
in North Longmont, precinct "a of
Boulder county, Tuesday the 3rd inst.
The decision emanated from a petition
presented by attorneys representing
the liquor interests of Longmont. 1t
Is the intention Of the petition to pre-
vent the result of the vote on the To-
cal option question from being an
nounced until after the Supreme Court
has had opportunity to decide the dis.
puted section of the local option law
which prohibits saloon interests from
calling an election for two years after
decisive vote on local option has
been taken and does not prescribe n
time limit for the opposition.
A few days prior to the election a
petition was filed in the Supreme
Court asking that the county clerk of
Boulder county be enjoined from pre-
senting the local option question on
the regular ballot, 1t being argued that
1t was unfair because the ''wets" had
Won in a. election held last spring.
The justices decided that the question
involved too many technical points to
be decided definitely at the time and
allowed the election to be held, prom
Using thorough examination of the
law and authorities after the election.
The attorneys are given twenty days
to file abstracts and briefs. and at the
end Of that time the court will decide
upon the question Of granting a perma.
nent injunction against the certifying
Of the election results. Attorneys for
the liquor interests contend that the
local option provision is unconstitu-
tional because both sides are not given
equal rights to call elections. II the
court should sustain this contention.
the decision will probably nullify the
present local option law.

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; q laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination OF Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why

To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale

New Rice Industry.

The national department OF agricul-
ture benefits all sections. A compare
lively few years ago practically all OF
our home crop of rice was grown on
the Atlantic coast: the methods of
handling 1t were more or less primi-
tive, the production small, and the
country was a large importer Of rice.
Twenty or twenty-five years ago. the
coastal plains lands Of Louisiana and
Texas were pointed out as a region for
successful rice culture. They were
used largely as cattle ranges and were
selling at from one to two dollars per
acre. With the introduction and sue
cessful production of rice. the cost Of
land rapidly increased, and the farm
ers Of this region saw the need OF i'm
proved methods OF handling this crop.
Many were pioneers from the great

and Indiana. They brought south
with them the implements they had
used In growing wheat-the gang
plow. drill. selfbinder. header and
other modern implements-and meth
DDS and ideas never before applied to
rice culture. making It possible to pro-
duce n much larger quantity OF rice
per man than ever was before. A
question arose as to the competition

OF rice. and. says the National Maga-
zine. one OF the departments most
