TWIN BURGLARS
CAUSE CONFUSION

Two anonymous burglars prowl un-
restrainedly through Owen Moore's
latest Selznick comedy, Sooner or
Later" adding much to the various
entanglements thereof, and bringing
the comedy up over the high water
mark in many Of the scenes
These burglars look exactly alike
they are brothers in real life-and
they keep the othr inmates of the
house in constant state Of disquiet-
ude trying to keep up with them. The
policemen think there is only one bur-
glar, and that he is more than usual
ly active.
During the rehearsals, Director
Wesley Ruggles got confused as to
the identity Of the burglars, and in or
der to tell them apart, two large pla-
cards were pinned on the burglars,
marked respectively, Gone" and
"Two." They went through the re-
hearsals very we'll, and when the pla-
cards were removed, Mr.. Ruggles said
''Now, go to it! can't tell one from
t'other,-and l don't care!"
This hilarious comedy will be seen
oat the Grand theater Saturday. It
is one of the best pictures in which
Owen more has yet appeared.

STATE TO UPHOLD
DRY AMENDMENT

Bismarck, N. D., March 13.-North
Dakota's fight for prohibition, which
began in. 1889, when a dry plank was
written into the states newly framed
constitution, will be continued in the
supreme court Of the United States
when North Dakota. will join with 30
other states in employing Charles
Evans Hughes TO assist in the defense
Of the federal prohibition amend
ment. -: :" -
North Dakota went dry at time
when drought was not popular in the
west generally. The vote on the pro-
hibition amendment which was
adopted at the same time. the states
constitution was approved was SO de-
cisive that any effort to ever again
resurreet the issue was fore-doomed
to failure. It is true that for some
20 years thereafter open saloons
hourished in some parts Of the state,
and that until within the last three
years blindpigging and bootlegging
were prevalent everywhere, but the
bulk Of the people remained firm IN
their stand against alcohol, and their
numbers constantly increased.
When the sixteenth assembly was
given an opportunity to ratify the
federal prohibition amendment it
promptly did 80, with only l3 dis
senting votes in the two houses. The
13 dissenters were representatives
from districts which always had been
pro-wet. Now, announces Attorney
Geenral LANCER, North Dakota in
tends to back up its judgment that
prohibition is good thing by aiding
in the defense of the 18th amend
ment in the United States supreme
court, where. it will join in retain
ing Judge Hughes, who will intervene
as amicus curl. :.

On each day of Save Money on

cuts of the inexpensive variety will
be featured and will be sold at a low
price. Retailers who hitherto have
not carried in stock some of the less
costly cuts because their customers
did not ask for them intend to lay IN
adequate quantities of such portions
Of meat. If the consumers will take
advantage of the highly nutritious and
palatable pieces of meat which are re-
iatively inexpensive, the saving ef-
fected will be tremendous, and the
s}ackened dmand for the cuts now pop
ular will result in lower prices there
on.
Under present conditions the price
Of the choicest cuts are in extreme IN
stances fifty or sixty cents higher per
pound than the price Of other good,
wholesome meat from the same AMI
NAL.

NORMAL TEAM
DEFEATS LEGION

The two games at the Normal gym
last Saturday evening were attended
by a large and enthusiastic bunch of
basket ball fans who did their share
of roofing for their own particular
side. The preliminary was played
by picked team of the normal stu
dents and the faculty and caused con-
siderable amusement. Before the
whistle blew each faculty member was
introduced to the fans and was also
examined by a physician to make sure
that no professional had slipped in on
the sly. A news reporter from a big
New York. paper--we don't know what
one-was on hand to tell the result Of
the game to the world and the tele-
graph wire was kept busy announcing
to the eager world the results Of each
movement. We don't know what the
score was but we are sure that it
wasn't so large but what it could be
counted. ~
After this hair thrilling game the
American Legion team and the first
team of the Normal came onto the
floor and some fast and classy playing
followed. The Legion boys were hand
|icapped, however, by the fact that they
had but little practice and were rather
short winded but nevertheless showed
some good style in their playing and
it was true battle for ''blood" with
the score tie at times, and with one
team forging ahead at one time and
the other team ahead at another. The
Normal boys managed to cage the last
basket, however, which netted then,
the victory by a score Of 26 to "a,
Eugene Mcfarland refereed the Le-
gion-Normal game and although dis
guised we took the referee of the first
game to be none other than D. w.
Clark.

ClCARET SALE
LAW HELD VOID

Bismarck, March lo.-In the opinion
of Attorney General William LANCER
the present anti-cigaret law which is
designed to prevent the sale Of cigar
cts in North Dakota is a nullity. BY
resorting to simple route of employ
ing retailers as agents to order cigar
cts from some point outside the state,
anyone may purchase them with I'M
munity assured the dealer and pur-
chaser alike, says the legal opinion
from the attorney generals otiice
which was written by Assistant Attor-
ney General Albert, E. Sheets, Jr.
He bases his opinion on the similar
practice in securing liquor in spite OF
the constitutional amendment prohib-
iting it's sale in North Dakota and he
cites cases to show where the practice
was considered perfectly legal by the
court. 49,
The practical meaning Of the opir1io1
stripped of it's legal verbiages is that
anyone may buy and sell cigarets II
they take the precaution first of MAX
ing themselves agents Of smokers who
leave standing or casual orders for de-
livery of the smokes. The actual pur-
chase is then made outside the state
and the retailers are then acting only
as agents when they accept money,
since they are merely forwarding 1t to
the jobbers or wholesalers from whom
the cigarets are purchased.
The opinion was delivered at the
request of L. H. Donnelly, states at
torney of Morton county, personal
friend of Langer's. Mr.. Sheets says
in part:
"If the intention of the agent solic-
iting the order of cigarets, and the
person giving it is that the sale of
those cigarettes which are later to be
delivered to a concern outside the state
is to take place at the time the for
eign dealer accepts the order and de-
livers the consignment of cigarets to
the carrier, then OF course the sale
takes place outside the state Of North
Dakota and is beyond the jurisdiction
of our cigaret law.
'In the absence Of any intention on
the part of the agent soliciting the or
der, or the person giving the order as
to where the sale should take place, the
natural presumption would be that the
parties to the agreement did not in
tend to violate the law, and contem-
plated that the sale should take place
outside the state. am of the opinion
that orders may be taken in North Da-
kota for cigarets. the sale Of which
is to be made outside the state"

N. D:PASToRS'
CONFERENCE

Your COMMITTEES on Findings beg to
report as follows:
THAT we pastors gathered in this
Conference, are profoundly grateful
for the high privilege which has been
ours for the last three days. AS one
speaker after another has unrolled be-
fore US the extent and grandeur of the
Christian enterprise, we have been
given a vision not unlike that which
John saw at Patmos. We have seen,
as perhaps most Of US have never
seen before, how imperative and how
glorious is the Masters work.
2-That the. program Of these meet
ings has been well-balanced, and ev-
cry phase of, the Interchurch World
Movement has been presented with
rare skill. and power. The speakers
have made it clear that this great un-
dertaking has nothing to do with mat
ters of creed or policy; and does not
concern itself with the question of or
ganic church union. It seeks unity of
action rather than union in organiza-
tior." 90 s - ~ y 5a'saf,<@ s....,
We are impressed with the fact that
its whole scope and purpose is gath
cred up in the four great depart
ments, into which its work is divided,
viz: The Department Of Spiritual Re-
sources; the Department of Steward
ship; the Department Of Life Service;
and the Department of Missionary
Education. The more we have heard
Of this great undertaking, conceived
in prayer and born of god, the more
clearly have we seen its tremendous
possibilities,-possibilities hitherto un-
dreamed of by mortal man.
3-That the program of the Inter
church World Movement is a chal-
lenge which fires the imagination,
warns the heart, and moves the will.
It's progress thus far has been of a
kind which indicates that it is being
borne along by the tide of the Spirit.
In view of all these facts, be it
Resolved: That we Pastors of the
Protestant Churches of North Dako-
ia, here assembled, hereby pledge our
selves toearry to our several churches
the information and the inspiration we
have received at this conference, and
to seek to secure the cooperation OF
our churches in this 1nterchurch
World Movement to the end that the
Kingdoms of this world may speedily
become the Kingdom of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ.

TREAT SEED FOR SMUT

North Dakota farmers very general
ly treat their seed grain for smut. 1t
costs but little and brings good re-
turns. Prof. Bolley finds in his expert
ments at the North Dakota Agricul-
tural College that even where there is
no smut, treating increased the crop
two or more bushels more per acre.
When smut is present on the wheat
the the increase due to treating will
run much higher. The increase in
yields of oats and barley due to treat
ing the seed are much greater than for
wheat. The treating consists in dip
ping the seed in a solution made up of
i pound formaldehyde mixed into 40
gallons of water, being sure that all
kernels are moistened. The treating
can be done just before seeding, the
moinst grain put into drill and drill
Z set to SOW the right amount. A good
way is to run drill on hard ground so
as to see just how it drops the seed.
If the treating'is done few days be-
fore seeding care must be taken that
the piled up grain does not heat and
also that the wet grain is not allowed
to freeze.

HOW MUCH ARE ..
TEACHERS WORTH?

Teachers in the public schools OF a

wait on education?
Teachers who in large measure
make the characters of men and wo-
synen who make up state and nation!
Teachers who assist boys and girls
in gaining the knowledge and skill on
which the production of all material
wealth depends? ,.,
Teachers in the schools of wealthy
a,,d progressive cities in the wealth.
lest nation of all the world anu OF all
time, cities which have money enough

prosperity and happiness?
Teachers who must have gone
through high school and normal school
or collage before they are permitted
to begin teaching, and most of whom
have gone through college or done
many months of summer school work!
Teachers of power, ability, charac-
ter and industry as they must be to

principals, superintendents, and
boards of education responsible to the
people for the best use of the most
important of all public funds

interested, and then to spend many
hours out of school afternoons and
evenings examining and correcting pa
pers and preparing work for the next
day?
pose to form the will and direct the
activities of the future citizens Of
state and nation?
It. is difficult to answer these ques-
tions but what we pay teachers has
been answered by statistics gathered
bv the National Educational Associa-
ton from 1872 cities for the school
year 1918-1919.
In these 392 cities 10 per cent Of the
teachers were paid less than 5000; ~
per cent were paid less than $500; "
per cent were paid less than 81 900;
S9.6 per cent were paid less than
$1,000; 98.7 per cent we're paid less
than $1400; 1916 per cent were paid
less than $500. Only four in one
thousand, supposedly the chosen few
of largest native ability, finest per-
sonal culture, broadest education; most
comprehensive professional knowl-
edge. most extensive and satisfactory
experience, and most perfect skill
were paid as much as $15O0>a year,
$125 month.
Do these salaries indicate the value
we place on the worth of our schools ?
