 no relief for thirsty beggars, no help for Russian sports; the alleys know
 no cheap bootleggers, no hole-ln-wall resorts. The old-time tricks that
 lead to drinking won't work there worth cent; a man may spraln hls eyebrows winking; the druggist > won't relent. Old Russia's brand of law prohibits, in country and in
 town, and soon her prisons and her

S, CUMMINGS BACK
WILL MAKE HOME HERE

Stewart Cummings returned the
first of the week from Edmonton,
Canada, where he has been located
the past two and half years with
his wife and daughter. While in
Dickinson he visited the Roy Butler
and J. R. Stewart families, leaving
Monday afternoon for Bismarck,
where he has some brick building con-
tracts that will require his attention
for month or two.
The people Of this city will be glad
to know that Mr.. Cummings has de-
cided to bring his wife and daughter
to the States within few weeks and
again take up their home in Dickin-
son.
When Mr.. Cummings went to Can
ada things were booming over there,
but since the war broke out this is all
changed. Property values were very
high but now they are leveled down
aIldoit is a hard matter for man
to sell piece of property and hard
er still to get a job of work at a iv-
ing wage. Many young men and men
Of middle age are enisting in the
army, not so much out of patriotism
as to get living. They have come
to refer to enlistment as Stomach
conscription," and go to war for the
salary, child pension and separation
pension, all three of which often
makes family $40 to $50 per month
which the head of the household is
able to get from the government.
>Taking all and all Mr.. Cummings
is a pleased man to get back into the
United States, and does not know of
any better place than Dickinson. He
always did well here and at the time
he went away was the owner of a
fine home in this city.
