A telegram just received by the ar
my recruiting station, Minot, N. D.,
states that enlistments are now open
for Siberia. Men who have served
with the army, navy or marines can
enlist for one year, others for three
years, age limits from 10 to 40.
Previous service men take advan-
tage Of this big vacation. Let Uncle
Sam pay your way from here to Dem
yer to start with and from there to
San Francisco. Then by way Of Ha-
waii, Guam Islands to Manila, to Ja-
pan. to China and then to Siberia. Il
takes about four months to make the
round trip and would cost about $500
It taken at your own expense. Men
are wanted ii Siberia and France to
replace those coming back for dis
charge. Don't pass this chance up.

MAY MAKE BOOKS FOR
III. SCHOOLS.

State-manufactured text books are
an early possibility in North Dakota.
Under law passed by the last leg
islature the way was opened to this
end.
A commission will be appointed
within two or three weeks to investi-
gate the supplying Of text books, ac-
cording to reports coming from the
Board of Administration
This commission will inquire into
the cost Of books, study methods by
which they may be sold to parents at
the lowest price, q system of uniform
text books which will do away with
the necessity Of the parents purchas-
ing new books when they move from
one district to another,
Kansas manufactures the text books
for the schools Of that state, at q tre-
mendous reduction below the Book
Trust prices. It has succeeded In re-
ducing charts from $12 to $1.1O; arith-
metics, 27 to 16 cents; histories, 66
to IS cents; Third readers, 26 to Fl;
Fourth Readers 50 to Is and SO on.
By manufacturing the text books
for it's own schools Kansas has saved
the people $216,2 ,205.O0. II has built
up in the meantime q self-sustaining
state-owned printery valued at $113,-
$500.
In Miss Nelson's attempt to appoint
A. i. Schafer state high school in
spector many see the hand Of the
text book trust trying to perpetuate
It's strangle hold on the school system
Of North Dakota. Schafer Is politi-
cal henchman Of Miss Nelson's and
as high school inspector he and Miss
Nelson would both serve as ex-of-
ficio members Of the text book inquiry
body. The Board Of Administration
is opposed TO this appointment and
under the new laws It has power to
pass upon Miss Neilson's appointment
for this position.

HAIL INSURANCE DOCKAGE AMI
BETTER GRADING BRING
= LARGE BENIFITS -.

A Trail county farmer living near
the Minnesota line has just become the
recipient of cash gains from three
different quarters, all on account of
the new North Dakota laws. This
example has attracted a great deal
of attention on both sides of the state
line and has created a strong impress
sion among North Dakota and Min
nesota farmers.
The. information was supplied by
J. L. Richardson, a well known League
organizer. Mr.. Richardson writes:
"While in Belmont township Mon
day we met Ed. Olson, q farmer, who
had been partly hailed out, for which
he had received $3.50 insurance. He
had just threshed and took load of
light WEIGHT wheat over to Climax,
MINI. He was offered $1.65 a BUSH
el for it. He declined the offer and
took the grain home and then to Bux-
ton, N. D., where he got 81 bushel
for it, and in addition received $4 for
the dockage value in the load
"The farmers in this section have
since been making comparisons be-
tween q state ruled by the people and
q state ruled by big business.
"This farmer got 1886 on account
Of the North Dakota hail insurance
law. He would not have got this in
Minnesota. He got IS cents more

HUNTING DOGS
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE
BELIEVES THAT Law WILL
HOLD.

Inc Following IS a copy OF q leCCef
sent by the Attorney Generals office
to H. @. Hanson at Litchville, N. D.
and which law there has been much
argument by Bottineau sportsmen at
ter the statement made some time ago
by q Fargo attorney that the law
would not hold and that he intended
to use his bird dog for hunting this
fall.
Dear Sir: ,.- s-@.~~
Your letter Of recent date has been
handed me by the Attorney General
for consideration. You ask in sub
stance whether or not, under the terms
Of Section 27 Of III. B. 107 passed by
the recent legislature, it is viola
tion Of that law to hunt prairie chick
en-, grouse, etc., with bird dogs and if
so what the penalty for violation is
In what is known as the Game and
Fish Act passed by the legislature in
1915, the former game laws were re-
~pealed, revised and superseded by this
new enactment. In 1917 certain Sec
tions of the Game and Fish Act were
repealed and altered but the changes
made in the original game laws Of
1915 were merely as to certain sec
tions. No attempt was made to al
tel, in any way the entire act. At
the last session of the legislature, GER
tain changes were required to be made
in the original game laws passed in
1915 and as result among other Sec
tions amended and re-enacted, !, was
Section 27 of H. B. 107, containing the
provision as to the running Of bird
dogs, and to which you refer. II. B.
107 in no way amends or re-enacts the
entire game and fish law. Section 27
Of H. B. LOT, relating to bird dogs
merely supercedes Section 27 Of the
original game and fish act, relating
to the same subject. In the same way
other sections of H. B. 107 supercedes
the corresponding sections Of the Old
act. Section 27 Of II. B. 1O7 specially
prohibits the use of bird dogs includ-
ing pointers, settlers and droppers tc
run. in fields in which game birds may
be found between the first day od
April and the first day Of November
which dates include the hunting sea-
son for such game birds. I am Of
the opinion that bird dogs cannot be
used for field hunting in this state.
Section "a of Chapter 161 of the
Session Laws Of 1915, which is the
penalty clause Of the original game
and fish act, has never been repealed
and is applicable to all violations Of
the game and fish act which are moi
covered by special penalties. For this
reason any violation of Section q
above referred to in H. B. lot would
be met with by the penalty therein
contained which provides that any per.
son who violates the provisions Of this
act "shall be guilty Of a misdemeanol
and upon conviction be punished by .
fine Of not less than $1,000 nor more
than $4,000 and the costs Of the prose.

county jail for not less than twenty
nor more than thirty days, or both al

MRS. sHAFTSBURY'S PROMISE
-Tr rrrEHD 90
By Marion Ruqincam

CI1Al En- 90
Here's q letter from that Mrs.
Sh~aftsbury." Louise remarked in a
surprised tone next morning as they
sat down to breakfast in the little
breakfast nook.
Us that SO, what does she say2"
Harry asked, all interest at once.
Read it." Louise said frigidly, re-
senting his sudden display of enthu-
siasm. But Harry, not noticing
smiled with pleasure over the note.
"She wants us to come TO a small
tea, Saturday" he said. She wants
me to meet some man whom she
thinks will be valuable to me. Isn't
that bully2 And she's made the tea
Saturday afternoon because I'm OF
then"
That's kind of her." his wife re-
marked. But her sarcasm was COM
pletely lost.
you'll write and accept today,
won't YOU 2" Harry asked. "Or, let's
see, this is pretty informal, suppose
L phone her from the ofice?'
you'd better phone" Louise said
without any enthusiasm. Then she
added, you haven't a suit that's fit
to wear, except your dress suit and
you can't wear that before dinner
time"
NO, and I need shirts and collars
ties too" Harry agreed. You
were lucky to have a trousseau pro-
vided for you. l haven't bought any
clothes since we were married"
Louise said nothing. Had he for
gotten already, she wondered, that
she had cut up practically every
dress she owned to make curtains
and pillows? And as a matter of fact
he had. Like most men, he was not
observant. In the old days Louise
had been one of the best dressed
girls of his acquaintance; she had
plenty of frocks, and when she was
married her mother provided plenty
more. She told him when they were
engaged tina she would not need
clothes for ages. So he imagined
blissfully that she ives still In pos
session of q large and up~-to-date
wardrobe.
Presently, as he was about to go,
Louise spoke:
you've got to look at this thing
practically, Harry. You simply can
not go where there are a lot of pros
porous men and look shabby. II
she wants you to meet people who
may give you commissions, you'll
have to make Il good impression by
your appearance. No one wants to
employ a seedy looking man.
Yes, I know you are right, dear,
but what can I d o ?" Harry asked.
"Oh, 1 don't know. You haven't
any money and you must have every
thing good. That means a new hat.
an overcoat (yours is threadbare), a
suit and shoes, and Heaven knows
what else. You'd better borrow a
couple Of hundred from father, he'll
be home tomorrow, Mother writes"
TN have TO borrow, but not from
your family" Harry answered.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-11-26

They're down on me enough as 1t
is because 1 ran away with you when
1 had p2 money"
It IL fatally easy to borrow at
times. Through the influence of one
of his co-workers in the office, Harry
was introduced to a long-nosed gen.
tleman who advanced him two hun-
dred dollars after getting various
signatures and promises Of securities
from him. The morning Of Mrs.
Shaftsbury's tea he came down to
breakfast dressed in his new winter
clothes. and looking as pleased es a
small boy with a new toy.
you dc look handsome" Louise
told him as she poured the coffee for
him. I'm glad you have enough
| good things to carry you through the
winter now"
TT seems a crime to spend all this,
but 1t is an investment, really" Harry
defended himself. Mrs. SALISBURY
told me when 1 'phoned her that she
could practically promise me the
commission to plan a big suburban
house. There's a man she wants me
to meet-she had me mail her some
of my plans, you know. and he liked
them immensely, she said"
That's good" Louise answered
briefly.
you'll meet me up there at four,
then" Harry said as he stopped to
kiss her goodbye.
Louise had been saving her sur
prise.
NO, I'm not going" she said.
mot going? Good Heavens, why
not? You expected to, didn't you ?"
"I can't" Louise said a little
sharply. "I haven't anything but my
last spring suit which is too shabby
and out of style"
But If you'd told mel" Harry was
frankly puzzled. las long as l was
borrowing I could have got enough
for you"
II don't want a suit, I don't want
hurry, you'l miss your train" And
she literally pushed him out the door
then shut it quickly after him.
