LIQUOR CASE NOW
IN THE STATE :

for Appellant Present Their
Views to the Learned Judges.

Phoenix, Feb. 5-That Arizona's
new prohibition constitutional amend
'ment is not self-executing was the
main contention made today before
the supren court by Attorneys Eu-
gene s. Ixes and j.. B.. Wright, Of
Tucson, representing Louis Gherna of
Tucson, in his test case of the prohi-
bition law. .Sz.-
Gherna is the Tucson man who
sold pint of whiskey a few min
utes after the, law was declared in
effect, January 1, purposely to test
the law He performed the act in
the presence Of Attorney General
Wiley Jones, the sheriff of Pima
county and the chief of police of Tue
son, against their protests. IA. .
He was at once arrested and when
his case came up he was awarded a
jail, sentence and fine, by the SUI
perior court Of Pima county He
appeaIed. to- the supreme court to
have the judgment set aside and it is
this matter that is being argued to-
day. / II = --=-'--. 'S-i---i-. :, -
Attorney Ives opened tha argu-
ment for the appellant at 1890 to-
day. He was followed by J.. B.
Wright, who finished the argument
for the appellant dust as the court
adjourned for the noon recess. -,
When court opens at o'clock this
Afternoon ATTORNEY General Wiley

E3sTf the court decides that the law
is not self-executing and the legisla-
ture passes law giving the saloon
keepers six months time theyH get
out. Otherwise they are ruined
said Attorney ives this morning.
Attorney Wright contended- that
the majority of the voters who
voted for the prohibition law did not
know at the; time that it would be
come effective January 1, He re
ferred to the fact that the majority
given for prohibition by Maricopa
county placed Arizona in the dry
column.
Attorney Wright said that In his
construction Of the amendment 1t
does not become effective until the
Legislature makes an enactment to
put 1t into effect.
I! Both attorneys contend that the
amendment is ,confiscatory and In vio-
lation OF the fourteenth amendment
to the United States constitution.
At the Conclusion of the hearing
which will probably last all day, the
court is expected to take the matter
under advisement before rendering a
decision.

SCHOOL BANK PROVES
GREAT MONEY SAVER

Lincoln school was one of the first
schools in the state to adopt the pub
lie school banking system, which has
been such an important movement
among educational circles in larger
cities throughout the country. In our
own city the deposits are made in
either the Middlewest or the American
National bank, as the individual de-
positors or their parents choose, and
each of these banks have shown the
greatest courtesy and interest in the
new project. The teachers are con-
stantly at work urging and interesting
the children in this habit of saving,
and great deal of credit is due them
for the amounts already saved. Pos
sibly the parents haven't realized
what the single pennies mean, and
don't appreciate how much just a sug-
gestion of Put that change in the
bank" will do, but the sum total has
increased amazingly. The first de.
posits were made in October and each
month since has increased in amounts
For the six months, from Oct. to
April I, the total of deposits made ir
the Lincoln school has been over STAT
That money other years would have
been "eaten up" or "lost", because
every teache agrees that no child has
had more money than before, only
there has been less candy and less
picture stickers" and less wasteful
ness. Not only is that STAT drawing
interest for each individual child but
that child knows, and realizes, and
feels, that he has saved that money
and thereby owns it and will add to it
Without any doubt by the time school
closes in June there will be deposits
amounting to 5000, with the parents
help and encouragement, and with the
teachers constant vigilance. Also by
eating less sweets and candy there
will be stronger bodies, better teeth,
and consequently more alert minds to
respond to the school work demanded
Of those minds.

Grand Forks, April s. Masonry OF
the world is appealed to by Mather
chapter Of Rose Croix, Grand Forks,
to exercise it's influence in bringing
about peace in Europe.
The peace movement was started by

lions were presented by Frank B.

inlously adopted by the chapter meet
ing in special session.
The resolutions will be communicate
ed to other Masonic bodies through
out the United States for the purpose
of having called general Masonic

attending from every lodge.
The convention will be called upon
to create a special commission to 60

INVESTIGATION NEEDED IN
BARNES COUNTY CROPS

should point = out the fact plainly
enough that the land is naturally fitted
for the business. The average farmer
has no idea whether his COWS are so
much as paying for their board. A
few good cows, properly handled,
would bring in more than the whole of
an average farm now produces. 1t
would give the farmer nest-egg to
fall back on in the event of COM
plete crop failure.
Another surprising fact to be found
in statistics is the comparative small
size of the sheep business This is one
of the most lucrative of occupations,
the raising of sheep, yet our farmers
shy away from it as though it meant so
much money thrown away. There are
about Is counties in the state, each
of which possesses more mules than
does Barnes county. Mules are hard
workers, tough, and always salable,
yet they somehow seem to be lacking
Much interest has been developed in
the state over the pork production con-
test to be held this year. Successful
contests have been held the past two
years and there is all the chance in the
world for Barnes county farmers to
give their children a chance to try
their hand at the business. Results
may open the eyes of some people to
the opportunities offered in the bust,
ness. Prizes to the amount of $415, as
well as two pure-bred pigs, are to be
offered by the Better Farming section
Of the North Dakota experiment sta
ton.
Let us hope that the day may not
be far off when the farmers of Barnes
county will begin to see their oppor
tunities, as others have already seer
them and may increase their produc
ton in other things besides wheat an(
hay. Many farmers are already rea
lizing the value and good of alfalfa ant

BY almost superhuman exertions
he was able to gain the Appomattox at
Farmville, cross it, and burn the
bridges behind him. In this way he
sought to interpose the river between
him and his relentless pursuers. He
made a rush toward the Lynchburg
railway line, but found Sheridan there
before him, and in complete posses
sion. On that day april Z, 1869, the
troops under Lee gained their last
small battle in fighting their way to
Farmville, and in crossing the Apo.
mattox there. It was brief, transitory
and wholly Elusive to any whose
minds may have been led to think a
, chance possible.
The last of the Confederate army of
Northern Virginia was in this be-
leaguered and hopeless position when
Grants suggestion of a surrender, dat
ed on the 9TH, was received by its
commander. His refusal at that time
led to a drawing in of the lines of in
vestiture at all points ON the day fol-
lowing, the 9Th. 1t was on that day
that Sheridan fell upon and drove
back the veterans of Longstreet's d.
vision who were attempting to cover
the retreat. This seems to have been
the stroke needed to break the hope
of Lee It was well on in the day when
he wrote note to Gen. Grant asking
for meeting preliminary to a surren-
der. The Federal commander COM
piled with the request, and at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon of Palm Sunday, April
8, 1865, the two commanders met in
the parlor of the home of William Nc
Lean at Appomattox Courthouse.
There the terms of surrender were
discussed and settled. It was agreed
that Gen. Grant should put proposals
in the form of military note to which
Gen. Lee could return a formal an
swer.
Before considering these terms, or
any of the rapid events which follow
ed, it will be interesting to speak of
'the famous apple tree" under which,
it was said at the time, and has been
said thousands of times since, the two
chieftains met and negotiated. This is
another of those romances of that sort
which, it seems, much inevitably grow
out of every great historical event.
! Authorities differ as to whether or not
there was then an apple tree growing
in the yard, or the orchard, Of William
Mclean. n. ~ ILL . ..- D.. ..
Whether there was or wasn't, or
whether, if there was, the two leaders
may have passed underneath it, or per.
haps stood there for moment in com.
ing in or going out, what is Individually
established is that, in discussing the
terms of surrender, they sat inside the
Mclean home. 49,.
The Mclean apple tree, if there was
one, bore much fruit in many coming
years. Almost instantly there sprang
into existence, and nationwide vogue
