Enforcing Prohibition

w. d. Lynch, Federal Prohibition
Director, urges the local officials to
cooperate with the federal authorities
in enforcing the prohibition law in the
following timely communication:
Local and state officials are equal
ly charged with responsibility with
the Federal authorities for the en-
forcement of the Prohibition Law in
their community. 1t should not be
necessary for Federal intervention ex-
cept where local authorities are pow
erless to prosecute or prevent viola
tions of the law. Citizens of the COM
munity who believe in law enforcement
should fix the proper degree Of re-
sponsibility on their local officials and
demand that local authorities enforce
the laws. The impression that the
Federal authorities are going to en-
tirely relieve the local authorities of
responsibility in this connection has
been widely prevalent and the citizens
Of every community should be inform
ed that this is not the case. The citi-
zens themselves are charged with a
grave esponsibility for the proper
sentiment for law enforcement and in
selecting officers who will be fearless
III tAIC uioSIdI SS VI ClltlI uuIlcS.
In some sections of the state, the
Prohibition Laws are being openly vi

very bold. This is due to large ex-
tent no doubt to the Indifference of
the community, the officers and men,
bers of which think that Uncle Sam
will look after the matter. In some
instances are powerless and can do
nothing because large community
sentiment is against the proper en-
forcement of certain laws. In these
instances the local authorities should
confer with the Federal authorities
and with proper cooperation, results
can be obtained. In communities,
where local officers refuse to do their
duty, if there by any such, it is up to
the local community itself to force
Federal authorities. Every good citi-
zen should stand for law enforcement
regardless of ersonal appetite Of de-

Docking and Castrating Lambs

Agricultural College, N. D., April
49, Docking and castrating lambs
when they are between ten and twenty
days of age is recommended by w. F.
LAGRANGE of the Extension Division
Of the North Dakota Agricultural COL
lege in Circular No. IS, Managing
Sheep on North Dakota Farms" which
may be obtained by application at the
College.
The tail should be cut about one
inch from the body with a docking
chisel, shears or knife. A three-fourth
inch board with hole in it for the
lambs tail to pass thru is convent
ent. A blunt chisel or tin shears may
be heated to cherry red, and the cut
ting performed slowly to scar the
blood vessel and prevent bleeding.
To castrate, as in docking, help
er should grasp the two right legs
of the lamb in one hand and the two
left legs in the other. With a sharp.
disinfected knife, the operator cuts
off the bottom third of the scrotum
or bag, then gently forces the testi-
cles out. With the knift he cuts the
peritoneum, which is the membrane
covering the testicle. 1t is then pull
ed out with the cord. Hands and tools
should be disinfected before operat-
ing. A mild disinfectant can be used
to wash off the parts operated on.

The Denver and Rio Grande railroad bridge was under mined and trains proceeded over it cautiously up to the time the storm reached it's height. Trains from Den yer en route for Pueblo were re-routed over the Santa Fe and were still de- layed tonight on that road on account of high water, which rose almost to the level of the tracks during the storm, but receded slowly after 5 o'clock

 LIN DRY TICKET
Prohibition Leaders Meet in Convention Tuesday to Talk Advisability of Put ting Full Ticket in Field This Fall
TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WireJ

LINCOLN, Neb., July 18-DelegateS to the prohibition national conven- tion. which begins here Wednesday next began arriving today but the number is not yet large. The early arrivals are chiefly from the east and central states, and they were making no predictions on the outcome of the convention. preferring to await the ar rival of leaders and the conferences which will follow before indulging in forecasts.
 Among the few who are here, the sentiment is strongly for the nomina tion of a national ticket, but none of those who has been mentioned as a possible head of ticket appears to have a dominating lead. w. G. Clader- wood of Minnesota, vice chairman of the national committee. who has been in Lincoln several days has expressed a preference for a ticket headed by w. J. Bryan for president with William A. Sunday for running mate. MT. Cal derwood however, takes exception to a statement credited to MT. Bryan that enforcement of the prohibition law rests more with congress than with the president.
 BIames Wilson For "Wetness"
 Tt is true" said MT. Calderwood. "that we should not go to sleep at the congressional switch, but the president can, as the present president has, ap- wet enforcement OIllcSFS WnO will make the law ridiculous and bring it into such disrepute that even the drys will be disgusted. Since I reached Nebraska a very prominent citizen told me that in the wet portions of the state this law was a farce. The same man called attention to what the whole na- tiOn knows. that the same thing has occurred in other wet centers with like results"
 Mir. Calderwood said that up to the time of the national conventions of the two major parties he did not be- lieve the nomination of national ticket advisable, but since the Repub- lican and Democratic parties have ig- nored the wet and dry issues in their platforms" he had changed his mind and now was strongly in favor of not only nominating a ticket, but of mal<- ing vigorous campaign. He believed that was the sentiment of a very large majority of the delegates.
 Expect 400 Delegates
 Monday and Tuesday is expected to see the arrival of the bulk of delegates and visitors. National Chairman Hin shaw is due to arrive Tuesday Present expectations are that the convention would be made up of about 400 dele gates with an equal number of ~Aaitors.
