NORTH DAKOTA
LIQUOR LAW IS
UP FOR TEST
States Attorney Elton Pros
ecuting First Alleged
Violation Here.

Grand Forks holds the distinction
Of being the first city to put the bone
dry law to q test, as far as can be
learned. With the arrest of John
Zeniski Sunday morning, by members
Of the local police department, a
charge of carrying liquor into the
state has been lodged, with Chief of
Police J.. w. Lowe the complaining
witness.
Before Justice OF the Peace Phil
Mclaughlin this afternoon. the pre-
postponed to enable the defendant to
obtain a legal advisor.
Zeniski was arrested at the Great
Northern depot. while in In ~intoxicat-
ed condition, it is claimed. A search
revealed two bottles Of liquor, which
he declared he had purchased in East
Grand Forks, and is supposed to have
admitted bringing the beverage across
the line.
States Attorney T. B. Elton started
the action today. If h state law
makes the introduction of liquor into
the state, punishable, States Attor-
ney Elton declares that he will con
tinue to campaign against the bring
ing of intoxicating beverages across
the line.
A close study of the state law, how
ever. brings much doubt as to wheth-
er or not 1t is contrary to h North
Dakota laws to bring liquor into the
state. providing the beverage is to be
used solely for personal use. The
amendment, as passed at h last ses-
sion Of the legislature, changes sec
ton 1915 of the compiled laws OF
1913, to read as follows:
"Any officer, agent or employe of q
railroad company, express company,
49, ~14-
person, engaged in the dray business.
livery business or any private person
who shall knowingly receive, carry or
deliver. directly or indirectly, any in
~toxicating liquors, to or for a--y per-
son within this state, or to be used for
sale. gift or barter as a beverage, or
to be kept o sale. gift or barter as
a beverage, shall be deemed guilty OF
misdemeanor and on conviction
800 or more than $500 or sentenced
to serve not less than so days or more
than 120 days in the county JAIL
1t is pointed out that it is not con.
trary to a North Dakota law to imbibe
spirftuous beverages within the state
hence he conveying Of liquors int
the state for personal use, would no
be punishable under the state law, Il
the statute has been correctly inter
preted.
The federal offence appears to b,
clear, however. but this prosecution
would not come within the scope o
the states attorney. Local attorney
interviewed today were of the opinion
that 1t must be proved that the liquo
brought into the state by an fndivfd
uaL fs TO be used in violation Of
state law, before the North Dakot
law has been broken.
No date has been set foy Zonf1Gfs
hearing but 1t Ia probable that he vii
be arraigred within the next few days
Much interest 10 being manifested Il
the case. as 1t 10 the first time that tn
!. North Dakota law has been put to
test.

The arrival Of European in q
Zulu village, the opening Of railway,

public songs that are soon circulated
among the people. Songs are used at
the public functions Of chiefs, such as
the feast Of the first fruits and at

songs are possessed by every chief and

MANY VARIETIES OF THRIFT
Its Practice by No Means Consist
Only Of lts Practice In None.
tary Matters.

What are the specific objects Of
thrift? Peace of mind and satisfaction
with life, founded on happiness in
the passing days, efficiency in work,
safe provision for emergencies and
old age. Under these definitions thrift
is not confined to petty monetary
scrimping on food, clothing, or recrea-
ton. One may be thrifty in the use
of time, labor, mental powers, mate
rial possessions, as well as in the
handling of money. Thrift is not lin
tied to those who merely lay aside
money for rainy day. 1t Is prac-
ticed in other ways by wise present
investments which increase efficiency
so that the rainy day never comes.
For some, the use Of surplus funds
may be the establishment of a saw
ings account, investment in insurance,
bonds, or real estate. Money used
for judicious home-buying Is money
actually saved. When family unites
gain later self-establishment, and
finds happiness in its own efforts,
that is thrift, for that is also real
living. For others thrift may indicate
spending money for education, for rec
reation, for esthetic surroundings, If
these objects increase the earning
power and in that way safeguard the
uncertainties of tomorrow. Money
spent for wise training Of children
may be considered as potential pro-
lection. From this angle, apparent
luxury may become immediate neces-
sity and affect the surplus available
for other constructive and purposeful
ends.-Exchange.

shame. Fight and conquer"
William attacked with his foot SOL
diers In the front line and his huge
body of knights on horseback support
ing them. The English stood firm, the
men Of Kent claiming the honor of
meeting the first assault and the Lon
doners making themselves the guard
ians of the kings standard and the
kings person. The first action was
brought on by one Tellifer, Norman
baron, who claimed from Robert the
right to advance singly and land the
first blow. This being granted, he
charged alone at the gallop, striking
do IN two of the English before he was
surrounded and slain. Followed swift
~ the general engagement, with n furi-
Gus melee of swords, spears, battleaxes
and great maces. In desperate
counter charge the English hurled back
the invaders, tumbling many of them
into the fosse, whereupon the varlets
who were left to tend the horses were
like to fly had not Odo, the dukes
brother who was bishop fallen upon
them with great war club and con-
vinced them that they feared him more
than the Saxon foemen.
Then the Norman archers, finding
their flights unavailing against the
English protection Of shields, took to
shooting high in the air, the missiles
killing as they descended. One of these
arrows found its mark in Harold's
right eve, binding him and making
him almost frantic with pain. Still
the English held on, and the Normans
tried the ruse Of pretended flight to
draw them from their fortification. In
an evil moment the English followed.
Then the Normans, facing about and
with William at their head, charged in
overwhelming numbers. Though the
men of Kent and Essex fought like
fiends, the English were broken and
borne down. Harold, defending him
self valiantly despite his wound, was
hacked almost in two by an ak. Gurth.
his brother, was slain by william HIM
self. In complete Generalization the
English who still lived fled the field.
The Saxon loss is not known. The
Normans admitted loss Of $4,000.
But thereafter England was Norman.
It is Of this battle that Guizot says :
"England's liberties are due to her hav-
ing been conquered by the Normans."
