CEMENT SCARCE
AT PRESENT
General Scarcity Of Cemen'
In This Part of the State
At Present.

A general shortage Of the cement
supply is being experienced all over
this part Of the state, according to
statements made by local cement deal
ers today. All of the local stations
are practically without cement and
there seems to be no prospect what
ever of getting a supply soon.
No certain cause was given by the
local dealers for the shortage, but II
was the general opinion that the
scarcity Of cars for transportation
was a factor. Labor conditions were
not the only factors but that q lack
of production seemed to be prevalent
The cement companies have reached
the place where they cannot consider
new orders as they are so far behind
with orders already on hand.
When the shortage was first no
ticed local dealers shut down on the
sale of cement for every use except
foundation work. Nevertheless, ther>
have been a large number of people
who nave had to give up building
plans on account of the lack of ce
ment. If the situation keeps up al
building construction will be handi
capped and it will be almost impoe
sible for any structures to be erected
demanding the use of cement, tn
local dealers state.
The new housing plan adopted b!
the members of the Commercial clul
will have little chance of fulfillmen
IL the shortage continues and at pres
ent there are small prospects of tn
situation being relieved.

NORTON PROVED
:. HIMSELF TO BE-
true PROPHET
Foretold Nomination of Sen.
ator Harding in Letter
Two Years Ago.

Mandan. N. b., June 26.-The fore
sight D keen judgment which P.
~. Norton exercises in politics and
In affairs Of national import is well
evidenced by a prophecy made in an
open letter to the Mandan News more
than W years ago, in which he
prophecied that Senator Warren
L. Harding would be the next presi-
dent of the United States.
Mr.. Norton was then In onEress,
closing his sixth year as representa-
tive of the Third North Dakota dis
uict. During that time he had be-
come a close personal friend of Mr..
Harding. as we'll as of many other
leaders Of the Republican party. He
sent an occasional letter to the News.
than an independent weekly; in
which he made many profound COM
ments on national and state issues.
In his particular letter Mr.. Nor
ton spoke of a conference with Sen
ator Harding, of the constantly in
creasing power of the Republicans
and the proportionate decline of the
Democrats, and declared that every
indication was that our next president
would be a Republican and that Hard.
ing vas the man.
Letter Was FUreos:N.
The letter passed at the time with
little comment, but since the rather
unexpected nomination Of Senator
Harding at the Chicago convention
many of Mr.. Norton's friends have
recalled his remarkable prophecy.
Made more than two years ago, when
presidential issues were at the lowest
ebb, this prediction of the North Da-
kota statesman is a splendid indica-
ton of the keennees Of his vision and
the soundness Of his judgment. 1t

power In the house Of representatives

abuse Of the present administration
or Of the powers behind the throne
his Irish humor and singing sarcasm

All told. they extracted $107 out OF

Moral Conditions
 Improving

Court officials are agreed that the moral conditions of the state are most encouraging, as reflect ed in the dockets he circuit courts. There is less crime than formerly, ascribed by nearly all observers to the application of prohibition. and th3 greater amount of law violation appears to be efforts to break the prohi- bition law.
 There is a great deal of civil litigation, which is resuming its status before the war, there hay ing been very title during the war But the criminal cases thai are being appealed to the Su preme Court are negligible il number and for the most par Inconseqlential in character.
