Birch Liquor Act May Be Referred.

Pierre.-It is reported here that re-
titions are being circulated to refcr
the Birch liquor law which was passed
this winter by the legislature. Two
years ago the same law passed, but
was either accidentally or intention"
ally changed and so when it was in
use it was found the liquor interests
had beer favored. The provision un-
der discussion provides that a ma
jority of all voters voting whatever
at an election is necessary to carry
a license vote. as the law was
changed it required that only a ma
jority of votes EAST on the liquor prop
osition was needed to carry license.
This has now been remedied by the
passage of the law again this winter.
Even if the law is referred it is ex-
pected South Dakota will go dry al
the election of 1916.

effectively broken" says the official
statement issued on Tuesday by the
Austrian war Office.
Along the whole Carpathian front
there is marked calmness. Along the

the Ondava and Latorcza valleys and
completely failed with heavy losses,

several days"
P%etrograd, April 15.-Great masses
of German re-enforcements still are
attempting to save the desperate sit
uation Of the Austrian main army.
Several new corps have been spread
over the positions from the Upper
Pilica to the Dnnaiec to defend the
region of Cracow. Earlier German re-
endorsements, who were too late to
prevent the Russians from occupying
the entire ridge of the middle Car
pathians from Mezo-Laborcz to Uzsok,
have joined General Litzinger's army,
which is now composed Of seven Ger
man corps and is supported by Aus
TRANS from Pennsylvania. They have
begun a formidable attack on the left
wing of the Russian wing invading
Hungary.
There has been terrific fighting
since the end of the week for possess
sion Of the mountain section OF the
Stryj-Munkacs road. The Russians
hold the village of Kiziouvka and the
immediate slopes to the nearest road,
but the Germans have r%ecaptured 992
meter hill. Close fighting with great
losses continue here, which is the
only section OF the eastern Carpathi-
ans remaining in Austro-German
hands. The local check, however, has
not stopped the Russian southern ad-
vance.
The kaiser has ordered General Won
Hindenburg to attempt another gen.
eral attack from East Prussia.

Saws Law Is Unconstitutional.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. on the sale OF
cigarets in the state of South Dakota
are expected to be lifted as the result
of the test case decided by Judge W.
M. Herbert in the municipal court OF
Mitchell, in which he ruled that the
present statute prohibiting he sale OF
the r~ice-papered Smokes was uncon-
stitutional. The question OF uncon-
s~titutionality was raised by A. r.
Scharnweber, who had been arrested
on the charge of selling cigarets.
Through his counsel, Mr.. Scharn-
weber maintained that the emitting
act of the South Dakota statute was
not specific enough to outline the Of
fense. The South Dakota law is ident-
ical with the Michigan statute, re-
Gently declared unconstitutional by
united opinion of the supreme court
of that state. When the ruling was
announced, a number of Mitchell to-
bacconists Immediately placed cigar
cts on display on their counters and
in windows. the first time that this
has been done for many years. States
Attorney Lauritz Miller has announced
that he will not fight the case and 1t
is expected that the ban on clgarets
will be lifted for at least two years
over the state, until the next legisla-
ture will have an opportunity to pass
another prohibitory law.

D. X. for State Vouchers.


Pierre.-The state legal department
holds that the o. K. of the assistant
custodian of the capitol building and
grounds, is sufficient authority for the
state auditor to issue warrants upon
vouchers presented, as the law which
made the governor custodian, and
gave him power to appoint an assis-
tant, gives to such assistant equal
power and authority as the superin-
%tendent, subject to his approval 1t is
also held that where a pupil from q
country school district goes to a grad
ed school to take up work beyond that
taught in the country school it is the
duty of the school district to pay tut
ton of such pupil for the full term of
the school he is attending, regardless
of the fact that the term of school in
the district is several weeks shorter
in it's limit Of school year work. It is
also held that Independent school dis

portation for pupils who reside more
two and q half miles from the school
building, just as can be required Of

Gravel Roads.

Let an auto tourist take trip into

macadam or concrete furnishes such a

few bumps. An auto can spin along 90
miles an hour on less gasoline than on

feet and they will endure longer. Cecil

centraIlzing Little Britain Schools.

A plan to centralize the schools of Little
Britain township is now under way and
will be definitely decided upon at meet
ing to be held on June twelfth. AT pre-
sent. the Capitalization scheme is scarcely
mole than the addition of another year to
the High School 1t involves the bring
ing of all children in what is known as
the eighth grade to room provided in
the High School building and placing
them under good strong teacher. 1t is
thought in this way that the teachers in
the other schools will thus have more
time to devote to the lower grades and
the eighth grade pupils will be better
prepared to enter the High School. This
is expected to be the first step in the in-
