Oklahoma Veterans Ask That John P, Appleby Be Removed Denies
 Charges.

Little Rosk. June 16.-John B. Ap- pleby today succeeded David A. Gates as federal prohibition officer here, and in statement issued from his office vigorously denied charges contained in the American Legion's resolution from Oklahoma which asked that his appointment as super visor for the southwest district be re- scinded.
 Mr. Appleby's statement said that the charges are nalitieal. "It is charged" he said, That I was instru- mental in the defeat of the bill in the Oklahoma Legislature appropfiating $500 900 for carrying out the Legion's disqualification plans. took no part whatever in the lobby. either for or against the bill. which was killed in committee. was opposed to the bill, however, but voicing no opposition until the bill had been killed" 1"

it, too. Continuing in his statement, he admitted frankly that with the small force provided to enforce prohi- bition, enforcement can't be made ef- fective unless the good people of the land turn in, take prohibition seriously and insist upon its observance, the same as any other law of the land. To twink at" the breaking of one law and expect enforcement of others, ac- cording to his way of thinking, means chaos and "bolshevism.
 Il wish that we might have in America revival for regard for the sanctity and majesty of the law" he said. 'sI wish that it might be preached by the parents in the home as well as by the teacher in the school; by the preacher, the writer, the car. toonist, thru the press, the actor or the stage; by every good citizen and agency. My ambition is to see the "dryv law, as well as other laws properly and generally enforced. We readily can bring about this splendid result and high aspiration if we all dedicate ourselves to the patriotic program of believing, preaching ane practlcing the gospel or law enforce ment"

Makes Strawberries Pay.

George Sauter, living east of Mena, is recognized as one of the most sue cessful strawberry growers in this section. From patch measuring less than three-quarters of an acre he sold this year $294 worth of berries to the stores in Mcna, shipped some to rela- tives, used all the family wanted at home and sold some to neighbors. Last year from about the same acreage he sold $420 worth. He makes a prac- tice of renewing his bed annually, and fertilizes heavily with barnyard manure.

'WHITMANWANI'S
!. RED" DECLARED
N0N-NAVlCABLE
Resolution ); Urging Move By
Congress Intro oduced in
Senate Yesterday.
(By Staff Correspondents )

Bismarck, n. D$ Jan. 2s.-A con-
current resolution introduced by SEN
ator Whitman of Grand Forks yester-
day afternoon would have the legisla-
tive assembly urge upon congress the
passage, of measure defining the Red
River of the North as a non-nav1gable
stream. At the request and upon the
motion of Senator Benson of Rolette
county who declared the western state
senator's wanted to do what was
right" but thought they ought to
have time to investigate" the matter
was referred to the committee on ir-
rigation and drainage
According to Senator Whitman's
resolution the classification of the Red
River of the North as navigable
stream is a farce. In former years the
river was used by steamers. but in the
past two decades it has carried but a
small amount of water and in summer
time /is navigable only by canoes and
stream.
\Would Build Dams.
The resolution asks congress to de-
clare the river-non- -navigable so that
! dams might be constructed. These
would provide a purer water supply
to those cities which now pump water
| from the Red river into settling basins.
Dams themselves. would provide a
more settled condition of the water,
, he insists. Furthermore the. construc-
tion of dams, possibly .only in non
navigable stream unless locks be pro-
Nided. would beauty the streams and
add pleasure to boating. Such dams
Ttoo,, would furnish. power FOR the -zop.
]; GRAFTON of publir" utilities, according
\ to Senator Whitman. Another reason
/ he cited for the passage OF the resolu.
I ton and need of action by congress
| was that with the stream classified as
!; II? vigable, Minnesota and North Da.
/ kota counties, must go to the extra ex.
!; pense of constructing draw bridges
cantilever bridges or other kinds o1
movable spans to permit the passage
;.of river traffic which is entirely fic
litionary
/ Senator McNair of Traill count,
Iiasked what effect such dams would
have upon flood control and Senator
Rusch of Fargo declared that whil'
1; he was in favor of such re-classifi
f cation by the government, 1t was tn,
