The Power of love.

"Tbe Power of Love- the strongest
controlling power of the world is on it's
way to Langdon. 1t visits everybody
and every city sometime and this is
Langdon's time. No doubt this power
has been felt very forcibly in Langdon
before, but this time it is coming to be
seen, in real live dramatic pictures of
real life when Raymond Bell will present
his play of that title at the Opera House
Sat. May 80. Love is generally defined
as a very tiny little fellow who goes
around with a little bow and arrow,
watching for a chance to either shoot
missils of despair into some susceptible
heart. David Belasco in describing
"The Power of Love in" his great play,
THE Girl of the Golden West" used
these words, "There is no accounting for
anything when that power they call love
gets in the game 1t is like strong
ligtive when one gets the craze for it. 1t
runs thru the veins burning the blood
with a frenzy of hope without a reason
dispair without a cause, making heroes
of towards and robbing brave men of
their courage. 1t Strengthens the weak
and weakens the strong and is about
the only heaven there is on earth and
nine times in ten its hi. In Raymond
Bells play he deals largely with the
lighter and more cheerful side of the
question and has produced for the
public a play taken from life with a pure
wholesome heart story CT combining
education and amusement in a clean
evenings entertainment.

long breath. The breath makes a big

HITS THE LIQUOR BUSINESS
New Law Goes Into Effect on the First

New Law Goes Into Effect on the First
of July.
The liquor interests of the country
will have hard shedding to do bust
ness in North Dakota after July L.
What liquor is shipped in must be in
spected. Soliciting agents are pro-
hibited under the law. c. o. d. ship
mentS are barred and the last legisla-
tura enacted a law prohibiting news
papers of the state from printing
liquor lads"
This last named measure is not re-
garded as constitutional. 1t is not
thought the legislature has any more
authority to prohibit lads" Of that ma
ture in the state papers, especially
those with out of the state circulation
than to prohibit the circulation of pa
papers from the Twin Cities or Chica-
go that contain liquor "ads." 1t is
probable a test case will be made by
some publisher.
The liquor men are also fighting the
law which provides that the age OF
all liquor must be labelled on the
package. This is opposed, especially
by the Ohio interests, which are
charged with shipping out freshly dis
titled whiskey under the claim that il
is four years old.
