ERCISED PREROGATIVE.

Pierre, Dec. 5.-The first report
OF the state sheriff covering the pc
riod from March 8, 1917, to June 30,

ally known, that department was
called upon once within that time to
exercise it's powers under section l
which authorizes the state sheriff to
call upon the sheriffs of the state to
act as members of the state constab-
ulary, this being in the fall of last
year when the department was call
ed upon to dispense a gathering of
1. w. w. at Aberdeen, when 10 sher-
ifs were called in to assist in the

ly that very few knew that the power
was ever exercised. The report
shows, for the period covered, that
500 arrests were made, most of them
for violations of the p%rohibitory law
of the state, and that on these ar
rests 522 convictions were secured.
While 1t is shown that there are
373 retail druggists doing business In
the state, only % of these have taken
out permits to handle intoxicating
liquors under the provisions of the
law. and with these two wholesale
drug firms have secured like permits.
Only IS physicians have secured per-
mits to prescribe intoxicating liquors
in their work. The reports of sales
