When q murder is committed
there is invariably motive.
Sometimes it is obvious; some-
times its presence is masked be-
hind a con,plexity of possibtli-
ties until it is we'll nigh impos-
sible to disentongle the slender
skein of fact from the warp and
~oof of probability. But always
the motive is there. Look for
the woman" said Pere Tabaret,
the French detective, and in her
you will find The solution OF your
H.ystery---D you find her," And
in the main he was right. Yet it
is not always the obvious woman
nor the obvious motive that is
responsible for a crime. Some
times the underlying cause rests
on deeper reasons than are ap-
parent even to the closest OBJ
server. Then only an accident
can give ciew to The real Grim
inal. And so it is with THE
Argyle Case"

There was one person intimately con.
nectcd with Mr. Argyle, whom he
treated with unfu!ing love and re-
spect. She was his adopted daughter,
Miss Mary MaZurct About her the

things that they didn't see and held up
the police for everything that the po-
lice bad learned
THIS was not much. The murder was
nearly q week old. and the mystery
seemed as Far from solution as ever.
But there was no lack of material for
lively speculation.
Old Mr.. Argyle had been known to

STATE HUNTERS
MUCH EXCITED
NORTH DAKOTA HUNTERS ARE
GREATLY EXCITED OVER NEW
FEDERAL GAME LAW.

Because the summary of the diff
ferent state game laws, issued by the
federal officials, contained a notice of
certain states in which Sunday shoot.
ing was barred, there is some excite,
ment among North Dakota shooters
as this state was one that was in.
cluded.
Technically, shooting on Sunday is
violation of the law, just like Sun.
day baseball or any other amusement
in this state. But there is nothing
either in the North Dakota OF the fed
eral law against Sunday shooting and
as far as the wardens are concerned
there will be mo attempt to stop shoot
ing on that day.
Any man who shoots on Sunday
would be subject to prosecution or
complaint of some person much thu
Same way as a ball player who par
ticipated in Sunday game might bt

EAST GRAND
FORKS DEFEATED
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL TEAM PLAY
RINGS AROUND MINNESOTA
TEAM

Playing with dash that delighted
the hearts of all lovers Of the game, the
local high school team defeated the
East Grand Forks aggregation last
Friday afternoon by the jug-handled
score of 81 to z.
The weather was very bad and the
ground wet and soggy and the contest
resolved itself into rather test OF
strength and endurance than strategic
football.
The lone score Of the visiting team
was the result of a tumble, one of the
East Grand Forks boys securing the
ball as it slipped out of the hands of
a local player and running the length
Of the field for a touchdown.
The victory Friday demonstrated
that Devils Lake this year has team
which must be reckoned with.
The team has heavy schedule yet
ahead of it, playing Cando next satur
day, Lakota the 25th, and game with
Minot at Minot. Park River will also
be given a game, although the date has
not as yet been fixed definitely. A re-
turn game with East Grand Forks is
also among the possibilities.

LABOR FEDERATION MEN HOLD
n. D. LABOR LAW mad
EQUATE.

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 1.-THE
North Dakota child labor laws are in.
adequate in that they fail to provide
proper safeguards as to industries in
which children may be employed. This
was the stand taken by the North Da-
kota Federation of Labor, voiced in
resolutions adopted by the executive
board, in session here today. While
child labor laws allow children to be
employed when certain permits are
granted by proper officials there is no
provision against the employment of
children in dangerous and unsanitary
occupations and it is to this the fedsr-
alton protests.
