ATTORNEY GENERAL
CLEARS UP BIG MIDDLE
Registration Possible Under Provisions
of Law and Books Close May l
and Open After Election.
VOTERS CAN REGISTER
ANY TIME AFTER JANUARY 1
Duty of All of Them to Get on Books
as Early as Possible and Straight
en- Out Tangle.

In an opinion given out last night At.
torney- General Crawford clears up the
registration muddle, and makes it pos
sible for voters to register and vote at
next year s elections. While the law
on the face of it compels county clerks
to have the registration books in their
office and also at the polling places on
May Is, there is another provision
which the attorney general points out,
that will overcome this difficulty.
In Chapter 8, laws of 1918, under the
title "Rules of Construction, one sec
tion reads: whenever the provisions
of this law in operation prove to be of
doubtful or uncertain meaning, or not
sufficiently explicit in direction and de-
tails, the general laws of Oregon, and
especially the election and registration
laws, and the customs, practice, usage
and forms in the same circumstances or
under the same conditions, shall be fol-
lowed in the construction and operation
of this law, to the end that the protec
tion of the spirit and intention of SAID
law shall be extended so far as possible
to the primary elections and especially
to all primary and nominating elections
provided for by this law"
The attorney. general under this see.
tion holds that the registration books
must close the same length Of time be-
fore the primary or nominating election
as they did before the same or other
elections under the old law. Under this
ruling, Of which the county clerks Of
the state will be notified aud upon
which they will act, the registration
books will close May first, and be op.
ened again so soon as the elections are
over.
This makes plain the voting situation
again and clears up the muddle. Voters
can register at any time after the first
Of January and up to May first Not
only can they do so, but they should get
on the books and help get the tangle
Strengthened out. The voter generally
has become weary of registering, but if
he or she viii try it once more the reg
istration will be found all right.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 30.-Mrs.
Statler and her mother, friends of
Slayer Fariss, were found late today by
Detective McLaren and taken at once
to the district attorneys office, where
they were questioned. At noon Fariss
was told that Roy Statler, the woman s
husband, was coming to see him in his
cell. Apparently frightened, Fariss
appealed to Jailer Gallagher to refuse
to admit Statler. Gallagher agreed.
During her quiz by the attaches of
the district attorneys office, Mrs. Stat
Ter brought into the case another wo-
man, whom she called "Louise." This
woman, the girl asserted, got most of
Fariss swag.

He declared that since the Webb bill
had gone into effect that there has only
about o~ne-fourth as much liquor
shipped into North Dakota. He claims
that all over the state the blindpiggers
have moved away saying that over
and Canada recently. H.. .-..., ..gst.
Used Great Care.
He told a great many amusing in
cidents about the way liquor is handl-
ed in the small towns in this state.
He went into a blind pig and asked
the owner for some beer. The man
into the basement of the building, lay
on his stomach and opened a, trap
door, and pulled out two bottles Of
beer. He told Mr.. Watkins that he
had to be careful where he kept the
beer as the Enforcement league Off
GERS were always sneaking around.
In another town where two cars of
beer had been shipped IN, the agents
heard hat league representatives
were on the line and they pulled the
stuff into the country and neve show
ed up with it-and the best of the
joke was the officers were not any

In speaking of the cigarette law

successful on the whole. He also says
that the various gambling devices are

so; Rugby to Westhope IS. Crops are
spotted and weedy; lots of fields are
poor and are being plowed up, and
quite a lot of summer following is
being done. This is the hardest crop
to get a line on that I ever saw. One
field will be good and the next one the

MOORHEAD NORMAL

DR.. E. P: Hoag of the state board of
health, visited the normal school Tues
day and addressed the students of the
summer school on Teaching of Hy-
giene. DR.. Hoag recommended the
teachers to secure a copy of the out
line Of matters relating to hygiene that
is being prepared by the state depart
ment of public instruction Inc will be
ready for distribution in September.
DR.. Hoag said the children in the lower
grades should be told to do things that
are cleanly and that they may be
taught the reasons for doing them
daily inspection of the condition of the
pupils as to the cleanliness of their
hands, faces, hair, ears, mouths, fit of
shoes, and many such personal matters.
Daily inspection will induce fixed hab-
it's. He spoke of preventive dentistry,
a new kind of dentistry which attempts
to prevent the need of filling of teeth
by preventing decay. He spoke of the
some food, especially for breakfast, the
meal which he said is the most impor-
tant for young children. Fifty per
cent of the children do not get enough
fresh air in bed chambers, He ridi-
culed the starchy breakfasts-bread or
cakes washed down with coffee-that
are SO common, and favored a proteid
kind of food, such as eggs.
DR.. Hoag concluded with an account
of what a clean dairy should be. His
talk was a strong plea fer cleanliness
and good health, and was full of prac-
teal suggestions for the teaching of
hygiene. His information was given
in a simple way and his directions
were of the kind that any teacher
could use.

students at the general assembly

of Scotland. They were at Ayr and
