A new record in tobacco circles has been set in Birmingham
 Sweeping down upon Birmingham, the sales force of the American To- bacco company boosting the Lucky Strike" cigarette brought a new smoke to the city Under the direction of George F. Fox. nine salesmen cov- cred Birmingham and aided by a campaign of newspaper advertising, succeeded in selling and delivering to the distributors exactly 1,O00,OO0 cig- arettes in exactly five days
 This record is declared to be 'phe- nomenal" by George F. Fox, who IS the supervisor for Alabama, Missis- sippi, Florida and Louisiana.
 There is an interesting angle to this story. It was the last campaign that MT. Fox will conduct For four and a half years he has gone about the United States in IA states direct ing the invasions of the salesmen to acquaint the tobacco smoking public of the country of the merits of some cigarette. He resigned last night to go to the far east.

the law firm OF Fisk, Linde and Muir

by former Chief Justice c. ]. Fisk, for.
mer Attorney General Henry J. Linde
and former Assistant Attorney, Gen.
eral Francis j. Murphy
Judge Fisk in his many years SER
vice on the. district and supreme
bench has become one Of the best
known legal authorities in the state.
Henry J. Linde, as attorney general,
,bnaht for North Dakota some Of the
most important legal battles waged
by any American commonwealth, and
in these weighty cases Francis j. Muir
ply, as assistant attorney general,
was always associated. Each of the
trio has had extensive general prac-
tice in the state and federal courts,
and the combination is one which is
expected to prove very effective.
Francis J. Murphy will be in direct

of his time to the Bismarck business.
Judge Fisk will alternate between the

Washington, Feb. 22.-The terrible

AS a loud noise it was one of the

and had better be taken of the

Not Greater Now
The daily toll of ships sunk is not

Fifteen days showed a net bag OF

We hear nothing about the submarines
that are sunk by chains, nets, mine
sweepers and these ingenious subma
| rine destroyers.
| A Snaky Thing.
A submarine is snaky thing and
gives you the shivers the first time
it pops out OF the water alongside OF
you; but it is not invulnerable. On
the contrary. it is one of the easiest
of all war vessels to get il you un-
derstand how to hunt the beast.
A small, fast, easily handled cruis.
err, OF very light draft and armed with
rapid-fire machine guns, is the mon
goose OF the sea that does the trick
for the submarine snake Because Of
its light draft, torpedo slides under
it, and with its rapid-fire guns it can
cut off a periscope or smash in a con-
ming tower.
There is a common belief that a
submarine is invisible. 1t isn't. 1t
must always come to the surface to
get it's bearings and aim its torpedoes
and the instant it shows its ugly
snout the destroyer shoots the hat
off it, Whereupon, goodnight to the
submarine. .....
This is one of the weapons that
Lytton and Curzon meant when they
said in the house OF lords the other
day that the submarine menace was
we'll in hand and would soon cease to
bother. Another is the long lines OF
small boats, being former fishing
trawlers and drifters. that go carry.
ing nets and cables and necessarily
sweeping the North sea, the Irish sea
and the English channel. They stretch
out, sometimes, clear across the hori-
zon. and after had watched their
work some days, I understood why It
was that daily countless transports

France and no submarine has ever
gotten one of them. ..... 60:

in the British navy. When the war
broke he insisted upon returning to
the service, took rank as lieutenant
commander and went to mine sweep

Nobody thought that was remark
able. All were doing their bit and,
expected to, young and old. .....
To anyone that knows the feeling
in the British navy the idea that sub.
marines are going to quell it is Just
a joke And to anybody that knows
England's resources in ships and food,
the idea Of starving her is just an
other. .-.....
