COURT TO HAVE LAST SAY

Seven separate concurrent resOlu
buttons, individually ratifying each OF
the seven constitutional amendments
initiated by the league at the recent
general election, were introduced in
the house by the state affairs com
mittee Thursday afternoon Their
early passage by both houses is pre-
dicted
Five Of the seven league amend
ments are involved in an application
for writ of ceriorari made TO the
supreme court by Secretary Nelson Of
the Independent Voters association
and William T.. Eyerley, chairman Of
the democratic state central commit
tee, who contend that the state can
vassing board erred in declaring
these amendments carried by a mere
majority Of the votes cast for and
against each Of the several PROPOSE
tons. OF two of the amendments
there is no question, inasmuch as
they received clear majority of all
the ballots cast at the recent election,
which the initiative amendment 10
the North Dakota constitution seems
10 require.
\ The supreme court will hear the
canvassing board on this question
next Tuesday. In the meantime the
league Is expected to proceed with
the Legislation asked for by the gov

The Red Cross rooms will be
open Friday afternoon from 3 to
5, so persons owning chairs and
other articles there can get them
or send for them, as, after that,
the rooms will be closed until fall
or perhaps longer.
Two chairs were taken from
there by mistake and they are
there now. If the person making
the mistake, will return them or
notify Mrs. Slocum, their own
will be sent them.
We have several hundred yards
of guaze for sale, sc inches wide,
at 5 cents a yard. Any one hav-
ing any use for this will do well to

than cheese cloth. Also, absorb

Four Sons in Service

Chas. A. Waltmire, sr,, of Pun
ia Gorda, one of the progressive
citizens of that thriving city, was
a caller in Arcadia yesterday. His
son, Chas. A, jr., has recently re-
turned from service in France,
where he was wounded in the
fighting in the Argonne forest
section. His son, Sergeant Jack
'Waltmire, is still in Germany,
with the 2Sth Infantry. Another
son, Nevin, was wounded at the
battle of scissors, and has since
been in hospital, having been sent
back to the United States for
treatment. Mr.. Waltmire has the
proud distinction of having had
his entire family in service, four
being in the fighting forces
and his one daughter in the serv-
ice of the Red Cross.-Arcadia

Delegation Failed to Arrive

A delegation of waterways
boosters from the Punta Gorda
Commercial Club, scheduled to
meet with the Arcadia CONNER
cial Club Monday night to discuss
plans for the deepening of the
Peace river channel from Arcadia
to the Gulf, failed to arrive and
sideration of the important mat
ter was necessarily postponed.
There is a very favorable senti-
ment towards this project in Ar
cadia, and it is expected that the
local club will take the matter up
with view to bringing it before
the proper authorities at Wash
ington for consideration and
action. Deep water for Arcadia,
it is felt, would have a marked
bearing on the matter of freight
rates accorded the shippers of
this section.-Arcadia News, June

Land Prices Advancing

ct is predicted by very emf.
nent authorities that within ten
years it will be impossible to get
an acre of tillable land in Florida
for less than $780," remarks the
Lakeland Telegram. "Now is a
mighty good time to acquire some
Florida land. The opportunity to
buy at moderate price is passing
rapidly" The Telegram is cor
rect, and it would seem from in
formation coming variously, that
a lot of people have discovered the
facts. Farm lands, groves, great
acreage for ranches and general
development are being secured by
men who are confident of success
and satisfied that now is the tine
for investment. Florida will like
ly grow in population and wealth
very rapidly in the next few
years.-Short Talks in Times

Will Pave Retta Esplanade

All the property owners on Ret
ia Esplanade from Taylor street
west, petitioned the town council,
Monday night, to take immediate
measures for laying an eighteen
foot pavement of mari or asphalt
along that bay-front street. The
petitioners asked that the cost be
taxed against their property, and
the council granted their petition.
1t has not yet been decided
what material will be used, but it
soon will be, and then the work
of laying the paving will begin.
This important street should
have been paved long ago, and we
are glad that the property owners
and council have taken the neces-
sary action. By or before au-
tumn, the work will be done.
