lSSUCCESSFUL

The annual sale Of delinquent taNcs
in Burlcigh county, which opened at
tn" office Of County Auditor Frank
Johnson this morning, is progress
my with satisfactory results, accurU-
ing to county officials. The greater
part of the delinquent taxes is hcin"
sold to private bidders today and the
county is compelled to bid in but
very little. While nine per cent in
trrcSt is being bid on part of the
taxes offered for sale. great deal is
being disposed Of at eight and even
seven per cent interest, which l. Of
material advantage to the property
owners. a. they will have to pay that
much less in interest when they re-
deem the taxes. If the taxes ar,
sold to the county, nine per cent ~.
tcrcst is charged.
About 20 bidders were present this
morning. the county auditors office
being crowded. 1t is expected tina;
the sale will be completed late 10.
day. 4 good percentage Of the dclin
qucnt taxes was removed from tn,

Births Exceed
Deaths in City
During November

The city of Bismarck had a pO-
tcntial increase Of % In population
during the month Of November, &C
cording to records on file in the
office of City Auditor NJ. Fl. Akin
son. Certificates Of births and
deaths during the month are filed
in his office at the close of each
period and for the month of No
vember these indicate "a births
and 10 deaths. thereby giving the
population increase totaling %.
The figures are fictitious, how
ever, as far as the actual increas"
in population is concerned, al
though the births exceed the
deaths here almost every month.
The incorrcctness OF the figures,
as they relate to the city OF Bis
marck itself is due to the fact that
this is a large hospital center and
many of the births and deaths re-
corded here are not actual resi-
dents of the city. Many patients
are brought here from throughout
the state for treatment, some later
dying here. and many Of the births
at local hospitals are to people liv-
ing elsewhere.

BOTH VETS AND
DRYS PRESENT
NEW MEASURES
Most Drastic Is That of Rep
Dyer, Who Would Repeal
Prohibition Act D..

Washington. ID. e., Dee. S-(P)-
With the new congress only Il few
hours old. the Volstead act and its
parent law, the 18th amendment, al
ready have drawn a flood Of propos-
ais tor amendment and repeal.
While the preponderance Of these
are "liberalizing' proposals from the
wet side, the drys have nearly bal
anccd the scale with their measures
for tightening up prohibition enforce
ment.
The house first felt the agitation
with the pouring Of more than IA score
Of prob ibition bills into the hopper
at the opening session, but Senator
Edge. Republican, New Jersey, NOV
ed today to bring the senate into
the question.
The New Jersey senator had two
proposals, one Of them to increase
the legal alcoholic content Of bever-
ages from the present maximum Of
one half of one per cent to 2.75 per
cent by weight. This was the strength
Of wartime beer fixed by presidential
proc lamatiOn.
Would Amend Volstead Act
He would further amend the Vol
stead act by repeating existing re-
strictions against physicians pre-
scribing more than ont pint of liquor
for patient during period Of ten
days.
The Edge bills will be referred to
the judiciary committee. which also
will have before it later in the scs-
sion other measures for amendment
Of the Nolstead act and still other
bills. sponsored by the Anti-Saloon
league. designed to tighten up pro
hibition enforcement.
Dyer Would Repeal Act
Legalzation of light beer and mild
wine in line with the Edge proposal
in the senate. also is the object of
"a number of house proposals. The
extreme of the wet proposals there
is that of Repre- sentative Dyer. of
Missouri. Republican, for outright
repeal of the national prohibition act.
In lieu of that he would have con-
gress legalze light alcoholic bcver-
ages.
One of the dry proposals. bill by
Representative Cramton. Republican
of Michigan. to place enforcement
agents under civil service. found a
Importer in Representative Tinkham,
Republican of Massachusetts,. wet.
who introduced similar bill.

Thousand Converts Last WeeI

More than a thousand persons last
week head the call of the Christ and
gave their hearts to Him--a truly
wonderful record. And still they
come: souls hungering for something
better, longing for peace and Joy and
happiness, and q hope for the future.
Everything will be on bigger
and-better- than-ever scale this week.
Evangelist James has reserved his
greatest sermons for this final week,
and every effort will be made to pre-
sent the best musical programs Of
the entire campaign. The sermons
for the week:
Tonight: "Excuses.'
Wednesday, something entirely diff
ferent: sermon with phonographic
illustrations.
Thursday, "Thc objectionable Sin"
Saturday, so-.ething else different
Il Popcorn Service
Next Sunday afternoon, at two
thirty, service for men only. Sermon,
"Hot Cakes Off the Griddle." Men of
every creed, race, profession, and or
ganIZatlon are expected and wei
come.
Campaign influence Widespread
That the James EvangelistIc Cam
paign is the biggest thing in Mort h
Dakota at the present time is cvi-
dent, not only from the great audi
ences and the throngs of converts,
but in the widespread interest in the
campaign throughout the state. Trav-
cling men report that on trains, and
in towns and cities all over North
Dakota the all-absorbing topic Of
conversation is the James meeting
ut Bismarck" People are coming to
Bismarck from all over the state for
no other purpose than to attend the
campaign. Perhaps never in her his
tory has North Dakota been so ser
iously interested in religion The
reason? That's on easy one: God
and Harry James. Mr.. James is re-
ceiving calls from every section of
the state, pleading with him to come
and conduct an evangelistic cam
paign.
TO those who know the Rev Mr..
James it is not hard to understand
why he is recognized by authorities
as the strongest, most successful
evangelist in America today; why his
services are in demand everywhere;
why he has such a notable record Of
victorious campaigns; why thousands
everywhere throng to hear him. Mr..
James, formerly a prominent theatre
cal owner and manager, would now
be millionaire had he continued in
his former profession. Just one of
the theatres he formerly owned is
valued at more than million dol
lars today. James is one of the fav-
ored few who were born to succeed
at whatever they undertake.; a born
executive; born leader of men.
Another reason for his meteoric
career is his great heart--his love for
every lost soul, his utter unselfish-
ness. Harry James might we'll be
called .The man who thinks of every
body and everything else first, and
himself last. Money and rest for
himself are least important Of his
thoughts, the least important Of his
motives. He doesn't preach and live
and work tirclessiy for finance, but
for the love Of lost souls, and be-

JUST PITCH!

GOVERNOR HARTLEY has some
" ideas that are good. And some that
are bad. And some more that are just
''toPerable."
If some of his good ideas are jumped
upon and steam-rollered into oblivion by
the legislature. or are kicked about by the
public and the press, the governor ought
to take it as the fortunes of war. No
need to berate the legislature, and tbs
public and the press, as Hartley did
Tuesday.
For Hartley is on the mound in the
greatest national pastime of them all
politics.
No matter how well-intentioned his
efforts or how well-delivered the ball, the
batters occasionally are going to cross
him up. And every once in a while
someone is going to meet the ball on the
nose and smack it against the fence.
Naturally, the crowd is going to holler
But it isn't the pitchers job to kick to
the umpire. He's hired to pitch.

1t is becoming rather common, with
gents handling other peoples money, to
aspire to social position thru running
gaudy automobile and playing little
poker, or something equally as good, and
there really is a certain social position
in it. But, the position ought always to
be arrived at on ones own money exclu-

are, like enough, more Of warning to
