COURTDAY.

Monday was court day. A large
crowd was in the city and business
was unusually good. Our merchants
did nice business and all lines were |
quite active. This was by far the
best court day we have had for the
past four months. During the months |
of January, February and March the
weather was so disagreeable scarcely |
any country people could get to town,
and those who did venture out only
wished they were back home, and
consequently little or no business was
transacted. In January we had a
cold rain and a very small crowd. On
February court day we had about 20
inches of snow, and on March court
we had about IA inches of snow. 1t
was all snow, no crowds, and no bust
ness. 1t rained on April court day
during the early morning hours, but
the wind shifted from the south to
the west, and became cold and pene-
trating, but the people came in great
numbers and all lines of trade were
quite active.
There were a number of cattle on
sale at both the Madison Stock Yards
and East End Yards. The market
was quite active and the prices were
the highest ever known in the history
of the local market. Good 500 to 600
pound steers brought SO hundred.
Several punches sold at this figure.
Other lots sold at from 80 to 1918 a
hundred. Calves weighing in the
neighborhood of 200 pounds, brought
$50 a head. One buyer told us that
he had often seen such calves sell at
$3.50 to 81 a head. He said cattle
were higher than ever within his
knowledge, and that, in his opinion,
they would not be any cheaper for
some time. In explanation, he said,
that owing to the high prices for
which tobacco sold last season, many
farmers have almost gone crazy, and
that many bluegrass pastures would
be turned under and planted in the
weed" that the cattle industry was
being neglected by many farmers, and
consequently the price would remain
srn, 49, -
There were many horses and mules
on the market and a great many
changed hands at good prices. The
prices ranged from S125 to $3.50 a
head for mules, and horses sold at a
like figure, it all depending on the
style and quality of the animal.
The usual crowd and large num-
Der of Jockeys" with the best line of
Jockey stuff" ever on exhibition, was
here in full force and effect, and they
all made money and did considerable
business in their respective lines

IN JAIL.

-, North Dakota, is not
Ia a place as its name would in
dictate Some time ago they voted out
the saloons and as a consequence the
jails have ceased to be the abode of
prisoners. The last State S. S. Con-
vention was held there and the places
of entertainment were all taken. up
They converted the Jail into "Sher-
ifs Hotel" and sent all the preachers
to Jail for entertainment. 1t was an
unusual experience and one which
they very much enjoyed. Prohibition
has accomplished some wonderful
things, but this is the first time we
have any record of its resulting in
preachers being sent to Jail. 1t is
not an uncommon experience for
prohibition to render the Jail useless.

BREWERY FACES CHARGES
in COUNTY COURTS NOW
Prosecution of East Grand Forks
Concern Shifts to New Scene With
Federal Court Action.

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 29.-The
acquittal Of the East Grand Forks
Brewery company and it's owners of
charges in the federal court in Grand
Forks last week, leave two individual
prosecutions still to be disposed Of
one, bootlegging, being charged in
Grand Forks county, while the other,
that of operating an unlicensed drink
ing place, is laid against the concern
in Polk county, MINI.
When North Dakota, Minnesota and
federal authorities closed the brewery
several months ago, three sets of &C
tions were placed under way. The
federal charges of violating the bone
dry act, as well as of conspiracy to
violate such act, resulted in not
guilty verdicts in the case of con-
spiracy, while the charges of vioIat
ing the bone dry law were dismissed
by Judge Amidon as not supported
by evidence. The company put in no
evidence whatsoever.
After the raids of last summer, a
prosecution was started in Grand
Forks county, charging bootlegging
This case will come up for trial in
the term Of the district court that
opens in Grand Forks early in jan
uary.

tRy Associated PROSE,

Washington, Nov. 29.-The Britis'
drive on Cambria will be followed up
relentlessly by similar offensives
along the western front in the opin-
ion of officers familiar with what is
in prospect in France. Authoritative
announcement already has been
made abroad that this winter would
see no halt in operations and with
the return of American divisional
commanders from observation tours
in France, 1t has become certain that
the French and British armies will
prosecute mid-winter campaigns
such as never before have been at
tempted.
Secretary Baker said yesterday
that the returning officers would
proceed to their divisional camps and
resume the personal direction OF
training of their men. 9h
1t is expected that officials will get
graphic reports of the preparations
being made for the continuous winter
offensive against the Germans. AL
ready the allied troops have forced
their way forward against more SER
ious obstacles than they will en-
counter later when the cold has
hardened the ground for the passage
of troops and artillery. The mud OF

Meager official reports of the prog.
ress of the drive on Cambria indi-
Gates clearly that General Byng's
forces are aiming at a great en-
circling movement. With a wide
wedge driven into the Cambria front,
the British commander apparently
is working his way behind the Ger
man lines on his left flank. IL he
succeeds in penetrating deeply in
that direction, many officers here be-
lieve he will force a retirement by
the Germans on a wide front
Meanwhile the British and French
pressure farther toward the Belgian
coast Is unceasing. A new offensive
effort there is expected as a part OF
the whole plan on which the allies
are engaged I'm forcing the Germans
back from a long section of the coast
when submarine bases are located,
The Cambria successes have an i'm
portant bearing, in the opinion of
officers here, on this general plan Of
accomplishing during the winter a
decisive result in the coastal region
as the foundation upon which next
years offensive campaign can he
laid.

ACRE YIELD OF
WHEAT IN STATE
SEVEN BUSHELS
Oats Yielded Ii and Barley
9 Bushels to Acre, Says
Land Commissioner

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 29.-wheat
averaged seven bushels to the acre in
North Dakota this season, according
to figures announced by Com. of Ayr.
and Labor J. n. Hagan.
He bases his estimate on the reports
of farmers and business men in every
county in the state and considers 1t to
be a very conservative one. The yield
for the present season shows a total
acreage OF wheat harvested of $685.
SIS acres, which, at an average yield
of seven bushels to the acre, gives a
total production of wheat for the state
of 47,s42,3O5 bushels.
Oats averaged thirteen bushels to
the acre, and barley an average yield
of nine bushels to the acre. Figures
on acreage were taken from the as
SCISSORS returns and the estimates by
the commissioner were derived from
reports from farmers, representatives,
senators and bankers.
The estimates by the commissioner
follow:

Devils Lake, N. D., Nov. 20. -
Henry Roseth and Henry Askelson,
two Edmore young men, are satisfied
that st. Paul bartenders are not a.
good source of first-class legal
information. Acting on advice of a
st. Paul barkeeper, that Uncle Sam
had raised the bars so far as drafted
men were concerned, and that the
transportation OF a wee nip into
North Dakota would be permissible,
each of the lads brought home in
his pocket a stable flask as the
nucleus for a farewell demonstration
to be held prior to their departure
for Camp Dodge They were arrest
ed on their arrival in Edmore.
When arraigned before District
Judge Butte. the young men ex-
planned that they had acted on what
they believed authoritative advice,
and the Judge dismissed them with
a lecture and suspended sentences.
