Eggs of the better grade went to 40c wholesale yesterday and promise to go still higher.

North Dakota Never Wet Le-
gally In Entire History

lBy Associated Press to The Bannerl
SIOUX FALLS, S. d., June so
With the closing of saloons through
out the state at 9 o'clock tonight,
South Dakota for the second time
will enter the column of prohibition
states of the nation. 1t is estimated
that approximately 225 saloons, as
well as numerous wholesale liquor
houses and breweries will suspend
business.
Under a constitutional amendment
adopted in the election of Nov. Z,
and with the subsequent enactment
of legislation by the 1917 legislature
for its enforcement after July l, the
state tonight will enter upon an era
of absolute prohibition. The South
Dakota prohibition law, 1t is claimed,
is probably the most drastic in the
| country.
The action OF the electorate in
adopting constitutional prohibition
marked the second in the states his
tory when statewide prohibition was
adopted. In 1889, when South Da-
kota was admitted to the Union. a
prohibition clause was included In the
constitution. However, seven years
later the law was REPEALED, largely
because lax enforcement had turned
sentiment against it. While the fun
damental law provided that the state
should remain under limited prohi.
bition, local option feature was In
troduced which permitted communi-
ties to vote on the question at spring
elections and If majority were re-
turned In favor of license, saloons
might operate for one year. Unless
another election was held and wet
majority returned. however, the
town again became dry.

FRENCH RE TAKE
LOST TRENCHES
NEAR HILL 304

compiled from Associated Press Rcports)
One of the most interesting sections
of the European fighting front just
now is the Verdun region where a
series of violent German attacks is
taking place,
Whether these assaults are any
thing more than demonstrations ON a
large scale, it Is difficult to make out
from the official reports.
The German attacks began tho day
before yesterday. The first drives
were made on Hin 3O4, northwest of
Verdun, one of the commanding de-
fenses which has protected Verdun on
the westerly side of the River Meuse,
Yesterday, a blow Of apparently as
great force was delivered in the re-
gion OF Dead Mans Hill, second of the
towering eminences in this region.
In no instance, the reports of the de-
tenders show, were anything more
than the first line trenches penetrated
and the French forces last night got
back most OF the trenches lost the
day before at Hin 3O4
The offensive tendency of the Ger.
mans under the crown prince is also
in evidence on the Aisne front where
they have attacked violently in the
vicinity of Cerny and Cordeny. They
were driven with terrific loss yester
day III the latter region, but succeed
cd last night by blowing French posi-,
tiOns TO pieces and employed liquid
fire in taking salient in the French
position northeast OF Cerny.

The value of the enlisted man of the

the United States entered the world

Removal of dead wood" in which
commands and the advancement of
young blood" to obtain vigorous ac-

Much noise has been made when an
admiral was scrapped, but little at
tention paid to the rank and file, and
yet promotions of enlisted men have
been more frequent and more rapid
than the progress in grade of com
missioned officers.
Take the case of a chief yeoman at
the station here, ranking as chief pet

of something more than 500 month.
Less than year ago he was sworn

THE DAKOTAS ENTER THE DRY LIST
South Dakota Becomes Pro-
hibition State Second Time

lBy Associated Press to The Bannerl
FARGO N. d., June 80 - Through
the joint operation of state law and
the federal Web-Kenyon law, North
Dakota will become "bone dry" after
midnight tonight.
This state never has been wet" leg
ally although for many years the open
saloon was countenanced. Within the
past ten years, however, vigorous eff
forts to make prohibition effective
have been made with considerable re-
suits. 1t was not the intention, how
ever, of the last legislature which en-
acted the bone dry" measure, to take
such firm stand against the impor-
tation of liquor. The effect is de-
clared to be fluke of legislation.
A bill was introduced in the lower
house which was aimed at curbing
blind pigging" in the state. When
submitted to the senate the temper
ance committee of that body made
two amendments. one designating the
amount of liquor which might be
kept "for personal use," the other
stipulating that registered pharma-
cists might import intoxicants for
medical purposes. The bill as amend
ed was accepted by the senate and
sent to the lower house for concur
renee.
In the hurry of passing the meas
ure the amendment providing for H.
quor for personal use" was omitted
and the bill as finally passed and
signed by the governor allowed i'm
portation for medicinal and sacra-
mental purposes only" The error
was not discovered until the bill had
become q law.
