Governor Ferris Declares
Michigan is Dry Because

$3.50 SALOONS ARE BANNED
Great Confidence in Inde.
pendent Voter - Sees
Equal Suffrage Soon

Gov. w. N. Ferris of Michigan, a
Fargo visitor, declares Michigan went
dry because
Economically. the saloon is with
out defense.
County option, widely adopted,
had created a strong public senti-
ment against the saloons.
The tremendous industrial inter-
ests of Michigan were arrayed in a
unit against the liquor traffic.
The Michigan Anti-Saloon league
and other agencies appealed to the
voters on the economical issue,
rather than the Sunday school is-
sue.
In other words, Michigan, that tre-
mendous industrial state, where such a
great part of the automobile works OF
the United States is centered, went dry
as a business proposition.
Governor Ferris is in Fargo as a
speaker at the North Dakota Educa-
ton Association convention.
Three thousand and eighty saloons
will be closed in Michigan as result

GOING UP"
ON ALL SIDES

At least once a social season,
and usually many more times,
every man comes face to face with
the fact that he needs a dress suit,
and that he will be out of place
without one. Probably the invita-
ton had to be declined, otherwise
someone felt out Of place.
Tailor Ted has solved the full
dress problem by taking the high
cost entirely out. Every man can
now afford to have full dress suit,
built to his measure, ready for any
occasion. Don't be among those
who regret" or are embarrassed.
,Ted's suits are good for years of
service and satisfaction. Have
your measure taken now.

CLUB NOTES
:=:: Official Organ State Federation of Clubs :=:

The women's club and organizations throughout the country are being for warded an appeal from the New Jer- sey State Federation of Womens clubs for national flower. The circular received by the Civic League follows:
 You know that as yet we have no National Flower, and trust that you will agree with us that it is emi- ncntly proper that our nation should have one and having given this mat ter much thought for several years, we now ask you to join with us in peti
 tioning Congress to pass joint reso- lution designating the mountain laur- el as the floral emblem of the United States.
 The reasons why such q resolution
 should be adopted are graphically
 outlined in the enclosed article, and if
 they appear as convincing to you, as
 they do to Us. will you kindly assist
 in the good work which is so pecu-
 liarly a wonianly work
 You can do this effectually by writ ing 10 the congressman representing your district. inclosing one of the cop ies Of the article herewith sent you, ard requesting his support of the joint resolution to make the mountain laurel our national flower.
 Our fathers. husbands and brothers car hardly be expected to take the same interest in matters of mere sen | timent as we do, but knowing as only we do the beneficient and far-reach- l ing effect of pure sentiment beau tifully expressed, it seems to us that our great nation should have a flower | of it's very own, which shall be univer- | sally known and recognized as such signifying as does the mountain laure | by it's evergreen foliage, and clusters | of starry blossoms, the unity of oul 1 states, and the beauty of our free in- stitutions.
 Hoping to have your earnest ant hearty support in our endeavors t secure a national emblem so appropri- | ate as the mountain laurel, we are with ilindest greetings,

 ems Clubs. "~IsY Lillian J. Stockton, President | Mrs. Hattie Williams, secretary 0 1 the Civic League at once communi

 Phoenix. Arizona.
 Dear Mrs. Williams T have your letter under recent date concerning the adoption of the laurel as a nation- al flower | nave looked up to see what species of plant they have in mind in suggesting the laurel, and 1 have not been able to satisfy myself what it may be. Now you probably have some literature in connection with this matter which may give the totanical name of the plant which they have in mind. If this is the case l should be glad to have the botanical name. There are several plants grown in North America known as laureis,

Society is still occupied in discuss. ing the two important and interesting announcements of the past week. the engagement of Miss Ruth Ainsworth to Charles Strong Witbeck and the marriage Of Miss Katharine Kennan to Harry l.. Hurley. In both instances the surprise was genuine and only for the fact that Miss Ainsworths mar riase will take her from Phoenix to reside, the news would have been re- ceived with pleasure equal to the sur prise. She has not set the date of the wedding which will take place on the coast during the summer season. Thero is a possibility that after some months in eastern travel Pasadena might pe chosen as a residence place, although Detroit, where MT. Witbeck has many interests is being consid-
