LEMKE NOW CAN
APPEAR BEFORE
RAILR0ADB0ARD
Supreme Court Continues In.
junction on Rates and New
Hearing Ordered
MAY BE NEAR ELECTION

William Lemke is to have III oppOr-
tunity to do that which he failed to
do three months agO-appear before
the railroad commissioners ami pre-
sent evidence on the question of in
trastate freight and passenger rates.
Mr. Lemke was acting AS special
assistant attorney-general when the
first hearing, Of the board of railroad
commissioners was held on Aug. H.
after notice of the hearing had been
published in the newspapers and spe-
cial letters given to w. A. Anderson
secretary of the industrial commits
sion; the Equity Packing plant, j. A.
McGoyern, secretary of the mill and
elevator association. ...
Neither Lemke nor Anderson APP
peared at that hearing, but the SUI
preme court, in a new order handed
down last evening, continued its in
junction against intrastate rate in
'creases until a, new hearing is held at
which Mr. Lemke may put il, his ap-
pearance. .a.4
Just when the hearing will be held
is uncertain. Lemke told the court
that the hearing the board Of railroad
commissioners had set for Oct. 16 was
on too short notice. He suggested 80
days time, which would give him an
opportunity to present his case, ac-
companied by much publicity just be-
fore the election.
The court did not hold that the rail
road commissioners do not have power
to fix the rates, as Lemke had alleged
1t ordered new hearing, continuing
the restraining order until such time
as the board shall promulgate new
rates.
The 35 percent increase on intra-
state rates amounts to about 81 900, 600
a year. figured on 1919 earnings. Mr.
Lemke's paper announced Sunday that
the increase would be $10,000000 a
year.

citizens who are not IElks but wish to
join in the campaign.
The dates set for the budget CAM
paigns, of the army over the entire
country are Oct. All. The bulge:
for the county is $4,000. This also

The Elks lodge of Bismarck was the
first .Elks lodge in the United States
to undertake to father the Salvation
Army work. During the war the Elks
over the entire country contributed
to the organization secretly, and it
it was generally known that the Elks
had done such a remarkable war
work
The Salvation Army occupies com
manding place in Burleigh county. 1t
cares for practically all of the char
ity work. and prevents many persons
becoming county charges by aiding
the persons down but never out" to
get on their feet again.
Enlarged Program
Under the enlarged program there
is a chairman in every township in
the county to supervise the Army
work, and reported needy cases and
ways by which the Army may be of
public service. f"
The program for the remodelliny

struction of a rest room and other
rooms which shall greatly aid the
people, especially children, who are
unable to gain needed recreation ana
help otherwise. The Salvation Army,
it was declared at the meeting, is the
most economically managed organiza-

CT and older sister. And such matches as they picked Betty shuddered. And now Cora simply had to interrupt her vacation by letter of introduction to Mrs. Percy Haskell, an old college chum of COra's, "whO 1t is said has the most charming brother" and of course Betty would meet him, just look at him and most assuredly he would mar ry her. At least that's the way they thought, it seemed to Betty.
 Say, Louise," she exclaimed to her chum, T have good mind to marry the first 'hayshaker' that I see, and put an end to this whole business. Once married they can't bring me an- other eligible in hurry. I would not mind if they would at least suggest some one of my class"
 "I'll tell you right now, Louise. I won't look up any Mrs. Percy Haskell or. Mrs. Percy Haskell's brother, for all the money in the world! I promised Jack Laurence I would go swimming this afternoon, and I'm off. He's a regular fellow, even if he don't have his nails manicured and hair marcelled every other day." Betty slammed the the door, but not before Louise had exclaimed: T hope the water is cold. You need cooling off
 Betty strolled down the road towards the beach. She couldn't help but think how nice 1t would be if she wouldn't have to go back to the city, and an. other winter of husband hunting.
 Suddenly she saw Jack coming. Big. strong, husky Jack Somehow he had grown to mean great deal to Betty in the few weeks she had known him. even If he was horrible dancer and walked all over her. Of course, he drove "the governor" so he had explained when she told him she had seen him speed Ing down the road few days aoo Jack never would say much about his occupation. If Betty would ask him what he had done in the morning if w's generally the same answer: aOh drove the governor" and that was all.

 Trim. denure and busineSSlike, she slipped into the chair beside his uSSS and waited pencil poised.
 If Betty sighed. she did so uncon- sciously. thinking show few opportu- mites she had to meet men of his type. Perhaps Dick heard the forlorn little sigh. At any rate, as Betty rose to go he detained her.
 .T say, Miss Rogers, you know I've just bought little runabout, and I'm very anxious to try it out with some one. Couldn't I come around next Saturday evening, meet your mother and take you out for little spin?'
 Betty's heart thumped unmanage- ably, but she was able to say, Why, I'd love to, MT. Bennett"
 "All right. then" said the young man, 'Tll be there about 7."
 Her neighbor at the next typewriter eyed Betty curiously. Belle Thomas was the only girl in the office Betty did not like. So when Belle said, limiting, "Afr. Bennett's been saying sweet things to you?" she returned eoldly, T don't know what you mean" "Oh he's a great little flatterer, you know" said Belle.
 Betty thought to herself that if there was any truth in Belles words. she would know after Saturday night.

In fact, today he had not been at the office at all-a business trip to New York was the reason, passed among the girls. Funny, Belle Thomas had been absent, too, thought Betty. We'll, she didn't mind how often Belle stayed away.

 Betty felt cold all over. So he had forgotten herl He was taking out another girl-and that girl Belle Thomas! Suddenly, she remembered the absence of them both that day. ''So." thought Betty, The went down to New York on business and took Belle along for company, and they are just getting home~
 Going into the house, she thought first she would sit down and cry out her disappointment not only disap- pOintment at the loss of the pleasant evening, but disappointment at the loss of faith in Dick Bennett, that in the company of one girl he could so readily forget his appointment with another. Then she decided her pride would not permit her to weep over anyone so thoughtless. Putting on the hat with the perky wing, she left Il note for her mother, saying that she had gone to see a girl, and went out.
 When she returned her mother greeted her with the words: Betty, where were you, child? Mir. Bennett came and was much surprised to find you were not here, and I couldn't ex- plain."
 Never mind, mother," said Betty wearily. q changed my mind. Mir. Bennett is only a philanderer."

 If Dick had anything to say, he evi dently intended to get business over first, for he began as usual. Please take this dictation, Miss Rogers"
 As Betty leaning over her notebook waited for the first words, she did not see the twinkle in his eyes. Presently he began in sonorous voice; "In { contract, if the party of the first par breaks his agreement with the part. of the second part-or, in other words if one person accepts an invitation from another and that other, proceed | ing to-carry- out Lls- Tt of the agree

I'm not so badly situated financially er-er-to make a long story short, Betty, dear, will you marry me?" Bet ty contemplated here was her chance to marry hayshaker, who would be her pal, and make life worth living, or marry money and become hardened to the idea that there was such a thing as love. Again, she thought of her mother and sister-they would be cross, but she looked at bright-eyed. honest Jack, with that expectant look on his face, and answered in a manner very pleasing to Jack.
 After the ceremony Jack suggested a quet dinner at quaint little road house. The dinner was far from quiet for no sooner had the newlyweds stepped into the dining room when Why, hello, Jack 1" came from a mid dle-aged man. ''What are you doing hereT' Jack blushed and turned to Betty. It was Betty's turn to blush so Jack proceeded: "Well, governor. brace yourself for a good one.
