Home Game in Years

Lack OF team work Monday evening

quint its first game on the home floor
in three years, the game going to Can.
cordia college by % to 16 score. The
game went fairly and squarely to the
visitors, who seemed to have perfect
flve-man defense, the best seen in Val.

team played to center, who starred
above all other members on the floor

horses and few minutes later heard
his daughter screaming and hurrying
to the house found Mrs. Moshier over
come by the coal gas, unconscious on

Frazier Signs States's
Newest Sunday Law

! Bismarck, Feb. 19.-Friends Of less
rigid Sunday restrictions who had
feared that Governor Frazier, because
of the great pressure which had been
brought to bear might wabble when
Senate Bill 81 reached him, were
agreeably surprised when they learn
ed Saturday afternoon that the chief
executive lost little more time than
he required to dip his pen in signing
the measure which legalizes Sunday
7practices which have been observed
by common consent from early terri
torial days.
! Senate Bill 81 does not add any
new liberties to the North Dakota Sab
bath. 1t simply legalizes those which
the bulk of the people always have
considered theid right. The blue
Laws" which Senate Bill 81 amends
and re:enacts, were written into the
North Dakota statutes when state
hood was attained in 1889.
Senate Bill Sis vital clauses read:
"All manner of seville labor on the
first day of the week is prohibited, ex-
cepting works of necessity and char
iity; provided, however, that the oper-
alton of steam railroads, street rail-
way, telephone and telegraph systems,
electric light, heat and power sys-
TENS, hacks, taxicabs and buses, auto
mobile garage and supply stations,
bootblack stands and newspaper
plants, shall be deemed and construed
to be works of necessity.
"All manner of public selling or Of
fering or exposing for sale publicly of
any commodity upon the first day of
the week is prohibited, except that
meats and fish may be sold at any
time before 10 o'clock a. M, and ex-
cept that foods may be sold to be
eaten upon the premises where sold,
and drugs, medicines, surgical appli-
ances, milk, candy and confectionery,
newspapers, magazines and cigars
may be sold at any time of the day,
provided that none of said articles or
commodities shall be so sold in any
billiard hall, pool room or temperance
saloon Or bowling alley, or in any
place wherein a pool table or billiard
table is contained, except such tables
be covered"
The emergency clause, which made
the act effective Immediately upon re-
ceiving Governor Frazier's signature
reads:
Whereas, an emergency exists in
that the present laws against Sabbath
breaking are in some respects burden
some and oppressive, therefore, this
act shall take effect and be in force
from and after it's passage and ap-
prevail"
This act does not in any way con-
Germ Sunday baseball, Sunday shoot
ing, nor the operation of moving pic
ture theatres, are provided for in sep
arate bills which already have passed
the senate. Both houses have rejected
moving picture bills.
