CELEBRATION AT
ISLAND PARK

The Fourth has come and gone
and in its wake it leaves memories
of a pleasant day spent at Island
Park. The management is to b.
commended for the execelletn pro-
gram arranged for the amusement
of the young and grown-ups.
For some time during the day
the towns on both sides of the riv-
er were deserted, and although the
day was rather disagreeablc on ac,
count Of the wind and dust at
times, it tended none to check the
enthusiasm of the different crowds
who gathered to view the big do
ings.
At 9:30 the military parade, led
by Captain Thomson, Chief of Pol.
ice Powrie and Lieutenant Ulsaker,
formed at the Armory on Sixth
Street. The Wahpeton Band wer;.
first in line, followed by Company
"l'', the Breckenridge Home
Guards and the Wahpeton Re-
serves i'll order, marching first to
breckenridge and thence back to
the park. At the park the boys en-
ecuted some clever military maneu-
veurs and paraded in review, play
"Tng Star Spangled Banner. "
Next in order was ball game
between Wahpeton breckenridge
and Hankinson, seven innings be.
ing played. resulting in a scroe
of 3 to 0 in favor of the home
team. There was clever playing on
both sides. The afternoon gam.
proved even more of a defeat for
the visitors, losing by score of
Is to 3.
Following the ball game in the
afternoon, Jos. G. Forbes gave IN
able address on the popular topics
of the day.
The late afternoon and evening
was devoted to dancing. a spaci-
'l's platform had been erected for
the occasion and the young folks
enjoyed Themselves until a late
hour.

LANCER on Reform

Attorney General LANCER, who
has recently created much turmoil
amongst the people OF NIinot thru
his strenuous way of cleaning up
the town, is determined that as
long as he is in Office he will see
that the law is enforced. The fol-
lowing from his recent talk at Far
go. shows the stand he takes on
questions Of making our state liIS-
enr'l unto Zion City.
81 refuse to believe that North
Dakota has come TO the point when
property rights Shall 90 bpfol.
human rights.
AS long as ! am attorney gen
cral of the state shall insist that
every states attorney and every
sheriff in the state shall enforce
every law OH the statute books.
81 believe that if every one Of
these officials does his duty there
will be no liquor traffic in North
Dakota and no prostitutes.
''Fhc oatI Of Office should mean
something TO every official. The
laws are made to be enforced M
part tally and the sheriff and state $
attorney pledge themselves to c,,.
force the laws.
"Ihcrc is something wrong with
some Of the ministers Of this state
In the last few weeks have re.
crivcd letters from several minis
trrs taking me to task very severe
ly for taking charge Of the tclc-
phone exchange at Minot durt e
the recent raids there. They seem
to think that | have violated the
laws of the state in SO doing.
'"Thc states attorneys and the
sIlcritfs of the state fear the Off
GERS of the enforcement lcagu"
mere than they fear the attorney
general They know that if Mr..
Watkins or Mr.. FinwalI is set on
their trail their acts will come to
light. They fear this because they
know that if their reports are laid

Opinion Of Bone Dry Law

The Bone Dry Law has caused
much speculation on the part OF
North Dakota residents as to just
what the new law implies. Many
people were under the impression
that the law did not effect the use
of a private conveyance in briug-
ing liquor into "dry" territory,
but the following letter in answer
to an inquiry OH the question
throws some light on the matter:
Bismarck, n. d., June q, II
Hon. Jos. G. Forbes,
Wahpeton, \. D.
Dear Sir:-
81 have your request for an op-
in.cn relative to the Bone Dry
;!aw. It is n., interpreted m of tie
l'"escnt sta, and ec-|"::..I statutes
tks' person will r.. y be able t.
bring liquor into the state no mat
ter whether he attempts to bring it
in by machine, wagon, automobile
or in any other manner. Neither
will any one be allowed to bring L
in in grip or on his hip. The only
way liquor can be shipped into
North Dakota is to have it shipped
in to registered pharmacists, AMI
it can only be shipped in to them
fer one Of the four purposes al
lowed by law. l. e. medical, mech
anical, scientific and sacramental
purposes.
Very truly yous.

Attorney General

Looking Into the FIXTURE
(Copyrigllt.)

The following is a very interest
ing article Oh the war situation, by
Mr.. Cochran, editor of the Chicago
Day Book. Mr.. Cochran dire
prophecy of what will happen,
should certain conditions arise, is
enought to make the average mort
al sit up and take notice:
"We re not going to send either
a million or a half-million of men
to France or anywhere else out
side the United States Their, are
several reasons. The first is we
can't. The others don I matter. We
haven't got the ships TO transport
the men, munition, food and sup
plies. Couldn't put 100000 men
and what has to go with them i'll
France inside Of two Years. We can
help more and quicker by sending
aviators We cant send flying ma
chimes, because they make better
ones over there. But we can send
machines and aviators. We l.
train 'em on this side. We can al
so send materials. So forget the
big army. Anyhow, that isn't til"
big question.
The really big things they talk
about in whispers and don't p},jnj
in newspapers is the fear Of rcvo''

John NJ. Baer, the Non-partisall
League candidate for Congress was
in this city Friday evening and

forcibly portrayed the League 5
program; what their enemies were

candidates in the field against Mr..
Baer were saying of him. In all
he said:

SAGE TEA :! KEEPS
 YOUR HAIR DARK
When Mixed With Sulphur It Brings Rack It's Beautiful Lustre
 at Once.

Gray hair, however handsome, de- notes advancing age. We all know the advantages Of a youthful appear ance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks streaked, just few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundred-fold.
 Don't stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Con- pound," which is merely the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use prepara- tion, because it darkens the hair beau- tifully, besides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and ev- enly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair dis appears; after another application or two, it's natural color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, miti- gation or prevention of disease.-Adv.

 Dry" Law.

Miles Donaldson, a negro who is quite prominent among members of his race, was arrested last night by Deputy Sheriff J. L. McBurnett on a charge of violating the "bone dry" law by importing whiskey into the state. Donaldson was released on bond of $500 to appear for trial before Justice of the Peace Cliff Brewster Saturday.
 Donaldson was arrested several miles below the city as he was driving here from Grady, where he is alleged to have disembarked from a north bound Iron Mountain train Tuesday night. In the car were two suit cases. containing 72 pints of whiskey, and a small grip, containing several quart bottles of the same contraband.
 Donaldson seemed greatly chagrined at his arrest, telling Mir. McBurnett that "If had a gun I'd kill myself"
