ARGUMENTS ENDED
IN SUIT TO TEST
TRADE STAMP ACT

Arguments in the suit which is to
test the constitutiOnality of North
Dakota's new trading stamp act were
completed today after occupying the
attention of the supreme court for
two days. A notable array of coun-
sci has been in attendance, including
Judge Frank r. Wolkott of New York,
general counsel for the Sperry and
HutchesOn Co.. which brought the &C.
tion on habeas corpus proceedings for
the liberation of their Fargo agent
from the custody oof the Cass county
sheriff: Dunn Bros. of New York,
counsel for the Manufacturers assO'
citation, which is interested in estab-
fishing the constitutionality of the
act; James Manahan of st. Paul, Min
nesota general counsel for the trading
stamp company; Andrew J. Miller of
Bismarck, their North Dakota coun-
sci; Aubrey Lawrence of Fargo and
Judge S. l.. Nuchols of Mandan, the
latter appearing as chief of counsel
for the state of North Dakota. The
Sperry and Hutcheson Co. attacks
the act as discriminatory and uncOn'
stitutional and further contends that
inasmuch as this company redeems it's
trading stamps in cash and not in pre-
miums it is not covered by the act.

London, Dec. 2l.--Athough Allied
hopes have not been realized, because
of the Russian collapse, Premier
Lloyd George told the house of COM
mons today that the Germans have
not been able to quite hold their own
in the west. He declared that it was
idle to pretend" that the hopes form

been rcaIlzeu.
At the beginning of the year, the
Russian army was better equipped
than at any period Of the war and its
collapse w:.s not due to unskillful
leadership or lack of val0r on the part
of the troops. Had the Russian army
continued 70 collabOrate with the
Anglo-Frcnch and Italian armies in

100000 prisoners, valuable.g ground,
and hundreds of guns. While the
campaign In France had not realized
the expectations formed there, there
had been military successes which he
.ventured to say would have per-
manent effect on the future of the
world. The premier said he referred
to the capture Of Bagdad and Jeru-
salem, adding:
"These two events added more to
the prestige of Great Britain through

DON SEBASTIAN.

There is a legend in Portugal and
also in some parts Of Brazil that Don
Sebastian, King of Portugal, who was
missing after the battle Of Alcazar,,
in July %, 1878. will some day return
to claim the throne A great many
people believe this story, and they
are not all of the ignorant class,
either. Don Sebastian disappeared
from the face of the earth as if re-
moved by a miracle. This enthusiast
tic young king-he was only % years
old, decided to engage in a military
expedition against Morocco and gath
cred the flower of his army for this
foolhardy enterprise His friends ant
advisors strongly counseled against
such an undertaking, but, being young
and stubborn, he had his way. He
landed with his army on the coast of
Morocco and after several days en-
countered the Moors at Alcazar. He
performed remarkable deeds of daring
during the fight. Despite his able
leadership, he was utterly defeated.
1t is said that hardly SO men of his
army escaped alive. A body, said to
be his, was rendered up by the Moors,
and buried at Belem;' but the fact of
his death, nevertheless, remained
doubtful His countrymen, who adj
nnired and loved him, considered him
as having mysteriously disappeared,
and the idea took possession OF them
that he would some day reappear and
resume his throne. Strange to say.
this notion continued in vigor after
the expiration of the time in which
the natural life of Sebastian must
have come to an end. This belief al
most became a religious one, and was
passed on from generation to gener-
alton and has survived to very recent,
times. A quotation from the London,
Times of December, 1926 says; 1t
is a singular species of infatuation,
that many persons residing in Brazil
as we'll as in Portugal, still believe in
the coming of Sebastian. Some OF
those old Missionaries will go out,
wrapped in their large cloaks, on
windy night, to watch the movements
of the heavens, and frequently If an
exhalation is seen fitting in the air,
resembling a fallen star, they will cry
out: There he CONTEST Sales OF
horses and other things are some
times erected, payable at the coming
of King Sebastian. It was this fact
that induced Junct, when asked what
he would be able to do with the
Portuguese, to answer: what can
I do with a people who are still wait
ing for the coming of the Messiah and
King Sebastian =
