Regina, Sask., Aug. 24.-Rum

Tracey of the provincial police de-
clared upon his return here today
from an inspection trip along the in
ternational line.
Especially from Estevan, Sas-
katchewan to Minot, North Dakota,
has whiskey smuggling into the Unit

Tracey said. "Minot alone contains
enough whiskey to float a ship and is
being utilized as general clearing
station for an organized gang.
Motor cars appear in Estevan
from across the line and after lying
two for day or so make the return
trip carrying cargoes which easily
clear $2,400 to $2,50D in Minneap-

"a wave of prosperity has swept
Estevan since the trade has reached
its present status. The game has
proved SO lucrative that hundreds are
devoting their entire time to 1t. Con-
ditions' on. the International line at
present are bordering on lawlessness
and only recently the daughter Of the
chief of police was arrested and fined
for carrying concealed weapons.
The great difficulty in preventing
this rum running, which is done in
"whiskey sixes,' as the motor cars
are called, is in the fact that It is not
unlawful to carry liquor In cars un-

chased unlaWfully. Once across the

N. D. STATE HOSPITAL
BOARD HELD MEETING
TUESDAY AFTERNOON

There was meeting of the Board
of Administration at the state hos
pital Tuesday, routine business be-
ing considered. An inspection Of
the building operations that have
been started for the new buildings
was made by the board, also a sur
vey taken of the materials for the
construction that are now on the
ground. Brick layers are expected
next week.
The new granary and grist mill
for grinding feed is now in operation
and greatly expedites the work of
grinding feed for live stock. The
basement of this granary will be
used as storage place for potatoes
and winter vegetables.
The potato crop promises to yield
fairly we'll, Notwithstanding that no
rain of any consequence has occurr-
ed since the first week in July. Some
indications Of potato rot are noticed,
probably due to dry weather. The
feed crop of oats and barley raised
on the farm this season will make
good yields and about 10000 bushels
OF such grain are expected as soon
as threshing is completed.
The new milking machine INSTALL
ed at the asylum dairy, works we'll
and makes the milking of from IS
to 80 cows a much lighter job than
by the old hand method. The ma
chine Is run by electric motor. The
cows make no objection to the use
Of the machine which milks the herd
in about an hour and quarter. -Four
persons are required to operate the
machine. and stripping by hand is
done afterward. Afternoon milking
time for the big herd Of Holstein
cows begins about 1880 O'Clock and
the milking Of that number of cows
by the new method is an interesting
sight.

ASKS MORE MONEY
T0DEPORT INSANE
ALIENS FROM n. Y.
Two Hundred Ninety Insane
Aliens Deported From New
York State Last Year-ln-
sane Cost State Over Eleven
Millions.

New York, Aug. 24.-Increased
appropriations to enable the United
States immigration authorities to
deport aliens in whom insanity is
discovered, was urged here today by
DR.. Spencer L. Dawes, medical ex-
anBiner of the New" York State Hos
pital Commission. $50
DR.. Dawes declared that although
29O insane aliens were depOrted
during the last fiscal year, there are
still great number in the state who
might be deported if funds were
available, hus cutting down an item
of expense which is second only to
education in New York Mr.. Dawes
said that there are $4,000 insane
persons in state institutions who
cost the people annually $11, 500,
900.
OF the 29O aliens deported for
insanity last year lat were sent to
their home countries in the usual
way by the Fedeihl authorities,
while 143 were "repatriated" by the
state with the permission of relatives
or guardians Of the patients. Ex-
planning this process of "repatria-
tion," Mr.. Dawes said:
81 <AkSC( oOCuAAAk SAO NVu6OAt Va AC~
latives to 'repatriate.' we arrange
for passports to his or her home
country and then give the; insane
person clothes, toilet articles and a
new suitcase for the return trip.
Under escort or guard, we send the
patient all the way and see that he
or she is safely delivered to relatives
or friends on the other side. a.
Last year the state Of New York
appropriated $4,000 for this pur-
pose alone"
Mr.. Dawes said that in addition a
great deal of time and. money was
devoted to returning insane persons
to other states in which they are
residents; whether citizens or aliens.
With the exception of Connect
icut," he said, "we have no difficulty
in getting other states to take back
their insane. We have written agree
ments with Massachusetts, Ohio,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Washing
ton and several others. Not infre-
quently we send parties of insane
persons across. the. continent; to the
Pacific coast s.
The law provides that insane al
lens may be deported at any time
provided that legal processes are in
stituted within five years of their
landing here. AS New York is the
greatest port of entry, DR.. Dawes
said, this state becomes the dumping
ground for thousands of these peo-
pie who must be taken care of at
public expense until they can be de-
ported.

HOPES
HIGH FOR NEXT MEET.
OF N. D. AM. LEGION

The, Jamestown delegation to the
American Legion convention, which
begins its two day sessions at Minot
Wednesday is expected to bring
back the 1921 convention. The local
post voted unanimously at it's last
meeting to instruct its representa-
tives to do everything possible to
secure the next state convention for
jamestown and word has been re-
ceived that the Fargo delegation,
support the local delegation. It is
also expected that the central loca-
tion of Jamestown will win the sup
port of many of the other smaller
delegations in this part Of the state.
1t has been reported that Bismarck
will also put in bid for the next
meeting.
Question of State Commander
Speculation is keen in Legion cir
cles of the state as to who will be
selected at the Minot. convention,
to succeed c. L. Dawson of Beach, as
state commander of the; North Da-
kota department of the American
Legion.
Dawson, it is generally under
stood, is not candidate for re-elec-
tion. When he retires from office,
he will have distinction of; having
been the first state commander. He
was elected to the office at the first
annual convention held in Bismarck
last November.
Fight For Williams Office
The office Of state adjutant, held
by j. P. Williams .<Of Fargo, will be
contested. The opposition comes
from P. j. Harrington of Bismarck,
who carries the solid endorsement of
the Bismarck post, the first post orr
ganized in the state. The Bismarck
post also has secured the support of
delegates from several other western
posts. 1t is known that the Fargo
post with its Is accredited delegates
will favor the reelection of Will
liams. S
The reelection of Williams means
that the headquarters of the North
Dakota department will remain in
Fargo another year, it being decided
at the annual convention in Bis
marck a year ago that the depart
ment headquarters would 20 to the
city where the adjutant resides.
National Bonus
The matter Of q national bonus
Will be under fire, 1t being limited
today that members OF Legion posts
In the state are generally in favor
Of such q bonus.
An expert from the Bureau Of War
Risk insurance will attend the con-
vention and furnish some interesting
data az to what the bureau is doing
and intends to do. -

list of whom should be kept in The
Farm Bureau office, at Jamestown.

ed:

may become a member of this as
sociation by joining the Stutsman
County Farm Bureau.
z. Every member OF the associa-
tion shall be required to list. the ap-
proximate number CT bushels he has
for sale with the County Agent at
the Farm Bureau Office, Jamestown
and report the names Of all parties
to whom he sells his wheat SO that
a definite record can be kept of the
bona f!de growers of this wheat.
3. To assist in maintaining tho
purity of this wheat each member
shall agree to leave a sample of at
least two pounds at the Farm Bur-
eau office, half of which the County

practices possible.
S. During the year 1920 he will
refrain as far as possible from SELL
ing this wheat to elevators, seed
houses or speculators but deal direct
to men who wish to use this wheat
for seed purposes, giving men in
Stutsman county first preference in
their needs.
6. During 1920 q price not to ex-
ceed soc. per bushel above the mar
ket price for No. direct from the
machine, but for wheat cleaned and

disgraceful, double-dealing tactics.
Both you and hee hate w. Lemke
and myself so bitterly for having
broken your deals that you would
both stoop to the lowest depths to
injure or blacken our character. We
have wondered for long time why
you have not tried before this to
rerame-up on us and cause our ar

you: Why delay? Don't wait. Pull
