A comparatively new device on the
market is jack that works on an en-
tirely different principle from the ordi-
nary type. The old familiar lever that

SENATE FIXES
AMOUNT OF WET
GOODSALLOWED
(By H. D. Paulson)


Bismarck, N. D.. March 2.-North
Dakota may, if the house accepts SEN
ate amendments to H. B. No. 80, fix
the maximum liquor shipments that
any individual may receive in any
month.
The senate passed the amended bill
yesterday by prohibiting the importa-
ton Of more than four quarts of
whisky, seventy-two quarts Of beer,
and five gallons of wine. during any
80 day period.
H. B. No. SO is the measure by
which consignees of liquor are re-
quired to sign affidavits on the receipt
Of liquor shipments. such affidavits to
be filed with the transportation COM
pany handling the shipment, and to
set forth the declaration that the
liquor is intended for the personal or
immediate family use Of the consignee.
The restriction as to the amount
that may be shipped in anv one month
was added by the senate.
Needless to say the whole bill falls
except as it relates to shipments for
medicinal. sacramento and mechani-
cal purposes, If President Wilson
signs the prohibition rider in the
postal bill, as it is generally expected
he will.
Senator Heckle of Ransom county
explained to the senate the provisions
of the measure. Senator Jacobson
thought the bill useless legislation.

Washington, March 2. - Reports
from all sections of the United States
show that the recruiting campaign
being conducted by the navy depart

any time since the Spanish war. In
twenty-six recruiting days up to Feb.
%, the roster of the navy was in
creased by 2.086 men; in one week the
gain was 901 men.
The decrease in the number OF men
lost by discharge is being more than
counterbalanced by new enlistments
