AUTO DRIVERS
In HOT WATER
State Official Back on lob
Six Already Fallen into
Tolls of Law.

Warnings to the effect that a fur
ther and more extensive campaign
would be conducted by state officials
to prevent violations Of the North
Dakota automobile laws, governing
the display OF license tags and the
equipping of machines with glimmer
lights, terminated in the arrest of six
drivers yesterday by O. T. Haakason
of the department Of state, who re-
turned to this city yesterday.
Four of those apprehended were
taken before a local justice and fined,
n other was released and the sixth
was given his liberty until further evil
dence of his guilt could be collected.
Grand Forks officials will not at
tempt to oppose the work of the state
officer now as warnings have been
spread broadcast and all should now
be familiar with the automobile laws.
More judgment in prosecution is be-
ing used by Haakason in the second
campaign and Grand Forks authori-
ties n business men have no COM
plant to make.
The campaign to round up all those
who have Intentionally or otherwise,
technically failed to conform with the
stringent North Dakota laws, will be
continued here and those who believe
that they can escape, will probably
have to leave their machines in the
garages until the autoing season
closes.

CIRCUS DAY IS
QUIET in CITY
Order Prevails in Grand
Forks Fake Artists are
Banned from Streets.

Circus day in Grand Forks is over
and for the first time In years. the oc-
casion did not result in the apprehen-
sion Of a number Of culprits by the
local police. Not one report Of a theft
vas made and 1T is believed that not
n robbery of any kind was commit
ted. Even drunks were unusually
scarce and Police Magistrate J.. r.
Church had little work to do this
morning.
The cooperation Of circus detec-
tives and the local police made it too
dangerous for pickpockets. to operate
in the city or on the grounds. No fake
agents were permitted to operate in
the city and Chief of Police J. w.
Lowe even put the ban on the opera
ton Of rapid fire camera artists, who
usually trail the circus.
The stringent rules for circus en-
ployes, made by the management of
the show. also prevented celebrations
of any kind. Because one performer
walked about the city on a sight see-
ing tour in company with one Of the
show. girls, a fine of $25 was levied.
The Barnum and Bailey management
prohibits the unmarried men and un-
married women in their employ, from
keeping company.

WAR GARDENS
TO PLAY PART
AT EXPOSITION
Many Entries in Agriculture
al Observation-Disclosures
Products to Feature.

Exhibits from war gardens will &C.
cupy an important position in the dis
play of agricultural products at the
North Dakota state fair, according to
Edgar 1. Olsen. field agent for the
Grand Forks County Better Farming
Bureau, who has been selected as
superintendent of this department.
Residents of all sections Of the
state, many who ventured into the
agricultural pursuits for the first time
this year, and many having only a
small lot to cultivate, have been ap-
plying for entry blanks at the fair
office and indications are hat there
will be a big array of vegetables, as
well as all species of grains and
grasses.
The combined production of the
war gardens this year will be en-
ormous. and the quality of the pro-
ducts raised by the housewife or man
of the house, during spare moments.
will probable set a new standard for
North Dakota vegetables.
The tempting list Of prizes offered
by the fair association will more than
repay the exhibitors for the time and
trouble necessary to arrange an at
tractive exhibit. Competition will be
keen, but competent judges will be in
charge of the arranging of the
awards.
Those who desire to enter exhibits
in the agricultural departments may
obtain entry blanks at the office of the
fair association at the Grand Forks
court house, and those wishing fur
ther. information may communicate
with Mr.. Olsen.

RECRUITING IS
LIGHT FOR TWO
COMPANIES HERE
Many Men Needed to Fill up
Ranks of Grand Forks
Contingents.

iWth only a few days left in which
to bring the Machine Gun Company
and Company NJ Of the North Da-
kota National Guard up to full war
strength, recruiting took a decided
slump today and early this afternoon
only three men had enlisted.
M. H. Hanson, who served on the
border as sergeant, but whose term
recently expired, has re-enlisted and
was among those to don the khaki this
morning. Charles Blackmore and
Henry Mot were the others to enter
the company ranks. No recruits join
ed the Machine Gun contingent this
morning.
Just why the young men Of Grand
Forks are not willing to become affil-
lated with the local companies cannot
be ascertained. 1t has been officially
and automatically stated that the draft
would become effective next week, and
1t is certain that practically every
man of the selective draft age, will be
compelled. to ooner or later join the
colors.
An opportunity is now being given
the men of the city, who are physi-
cally fit, to serve their country in
company with their close friends. The
North Dakota guard won honors at
the border in all branches of military
work, and opportunities for advance
ment are excellent.
The men who await the draft are
slated for a series of disappointments,
it is pointed out by the guard Off
Gals, and those who have not given
their enlistment due consideration,
will do we'll to get into touch with the
recruiting officers at headquarters in
the Model Laundry building on North
Fourth street.

Congressman Elect Expects
to Go to Washington
Within a Week.
THANKS VOTERS
FOR THEIR SUPPORT
Declares He Will Endeavor
to be Fair to all of the
District.

John NJ. Baer, congressman-elect
for the First district of North Dakota,
was in the city for a few hour to-
day Inc in ar interview declared that
he would serve the best interests of
the voters of the First District when
he has taken his seat in the house Of
representatives, and he felt certain
that in his work in Washington. he
will be able to crafty all just wishes
and demands of the voters Of the dis
trict.
The Congressman-elect came into
town this forenoon. chiefly for the
purpose Of taking his automobile
week, he was forced to leave his ma
chine on ccoun of a rainstorm. but
he hoped to be able to take it back
to Fargo this afternoon although the
sky was overcast at the time when
Mr.. Baer was speaking. Asked for a
statement regarding the campaign
and his election, Mr.. Baer said:
uonally thankful to the voters of the
First District who cast their ballots
for me. I am particularly gratiied
at the surprisingly heavy support
which h cities gave me, and it seems
to- me hat it is interesting to point
out the fact that 1 Jared pretty well,

Thought He Had q Hard Fight.
Nov, this is not said in n boast
fui 'spirit, but it just goes to show that
the voters of. the district are thinking
independently and that the majority
of them approve the principles for
which L stood as a candidate and for
which I will stand as a congressman.
1T was hard fighting for this rea-
son that while my opponents had old
regularly established and organized
parties back of them, I was in the
fight primarily for the purpose Of try
ing to adjust the minds of the voters
to political thinking along other
Mr.. Baer said hat in congress he
Q show no favoritism to any fac
ton Of the voters:
Just say" he added, THAT I will
be in Washington representing not
only the country districts, but also the
cities and the business men of the
cities. Anything I can do for all the
voters in all fairness, I certainly will
do, and I may reiterate what 1 have
said on former occasions that my,
primary aim will be to stand by the
American government"
When shown the statement which
Mr.. Burtness had issued yesterday
through the columns of The Herald,
Mr.. Baer said:
He Bears No Ill will.
II can put my name to a similar
statement, for while my gratitude
goes out to all the independent voters
of the district, 1 e. no i'll will
towards my opponents in the recent
fight. 1t is not in my nature to be
malicious. and although the fight at
times necessarily waxed warm, it
must be said that the issue was not
n of persons or personalities. 1t
was a question of difference in polit-
ical views--that's all. We differ
here, my opponents and myself, just
as any group of men would differ
when issues of far reaching impor-
lance come up.
But it seems to me that I am
justified in considering my victory a

AND THE THIRTEENTH

Friday the thirteenth, the day Of ill

morrow. April also brought a Friday
the thirteenth, but his satanic mai
esty, or whoever is supposed to be

dreaded day for the superstitious, EVIL
IDENTIFY overlooked a bet as nothing
happened at that time to indicate that

but County Judge L. K. Hassell pre-
diets a light demand for marriage
licenses, nevertheless.
