northward over the granaries OF Okla

through the wheat valleys of the Dako-

the last North American sheaf has been
cut in the far away Hudson Bay county.

good omen, for it showed that the har-

important, it is said, when the whole
world is crying for wheat,
Another cheering note was added to
the symphony by Bernard Snow, crop

CITY MUST HURRY
No Action Taken to Conform
With Bone Dry Law.
As q Result "YeIIOW Bill" Was
Transferred to County.

Robert NJ. Yates police judge an
nounced this morning that he is tss1F-
erless to impose sentences under One
provisions of the bone dry law until
the city passes an ordinance conform
ing with the provisions of the new
statute. Yates made this announcements
when Silas William King, alias Yellow
Bill, appeared before him Yellow
dry law.
The fact that Yates couldn't pass
sentence didn't deter the police one
bit. They made Yellow Bill put
his harness on the outside of his
clothes and with a strap to which were
suspended eight quarts of perfectly
coed whisky. he was marched to the
office of Robert D. Carver, county at
torney.
There are no sales proven on him, -
said an attorney.
That doesn't make any difference,
he evidently has it in his possession, y
was the reply.
So Yellow Bills attorney pleaded
guilty for his client. Bill was given
thirty days in the county Jail and a
500 fine, the minimum under the
bone dry law. Yellow Bill is the first
man to receive a sentence under the
provisions of the bone dry law He
was picked up at o'clock in the
morning shortly after he alighted
from Kansas City train. Eight
quarts of whisky under his clothes
and attached to a belt were found in
his possession.
