READ THIS FIRST:
 MERRY LOCKE, twenty, falls in
 love with ANTHONY GAINES. a

 nothing new to Merry. She has

 she has found the Real Thing, in her
 love for Tony Gaines.
 l A few days after they meet each
 other, he asks her to run away and
 be married. But Merry, because she cares so much for him. tells him the truth about herself. She tells him how tickle she has always been. and about her recent crush"

 Merrys father dies following q paralytic stroke, and MONS is left alone to bring up Merry and her three sisters. CASSIE is the only one of them who is earning money. She is secretary to MORLEY KAUFMAN, a broker, with whom she's in love. Kaufman is a great friend of Tony Gaines, and Cassie tells Merry that Tony has a great deal of n oney.
 HELEN, the oldest of the four sisters, marries BILL HEPWORTH. the son of Dads former employer, and JENNY. the youngest sister, takes over her job of helping Mons wi, | the housework.
 i. Merry has been expecting to feave business school and go into course. So she gets a place in MAD AME DALE'S beauty shop, a few blocks from home. One night when Tony's mother returns from a visit he telephones to say he won't be over -to see Merry.
 Cassie tells Merry that if he really meant to marry her, he wouldn't ] we roken the date with her, but would have brought his mother with him to call on her.

STUTSMAN CO.
BOARD UPHELD
BY HIGH COURT
Levying Tax to Build Addi-
tiOn to Court House Was
Legal, Court Holds

Stutsnlan county Commissioner rs
were within the law when they levied
n tax to pay for an addition TO the
county court house, the supreme
court held today in the case Of I. ".
Eddy and other taxpayers vs.. the
board of county commissioners, coun-
ty auditor and treasurer Of Stutsman
county, the Meinicke-J ohnson com
pany and other firms to whom CON
tracts for the new building had been
awarded.
The decision sustained the action
Of the Stutsman county district court
in refusing to enjoin the commission
ers from proceeding with their plan.
The plaintiffs contended that Il vote
Of the people was necessary to vail
date what they claimed was an "eX-
traordinary outlay" Of money on the
part Of the commissioners.
The county officials contended that
since the expenditure could be cover
cd by Il tax levy for one year without
raising the levy beyond the eight
mill limitation imposed by state law,
they were within their rights.
Addition TO Cost $4,000
The proposed new addition would
be 40 by 60 feet, two stories high
and would cost $4,000. Persons
seeking the injunction claimed that
the plan was part of one to build an
entire new court house at Il cost Of
100000.
The court, in its decision, said
that unfortunately the statutes in
which the matter in hand has been
dealt with are not couched in the
clearest language. Indeed some OF
the expressions used are so poorly
adapted to convey clear meaning
that misunderstanding, may be ex-
pected to result"
After tracing the history of gov
erning statutes back to territorial
days the court held that
"Where for a long period of years
legislation has existed prohibiting
county commissioners from making
extraordinary outIays' by reason of
of the people, and where such rela-
tive expression has been used in a
statute in contradi istinction to outlays
that may be made from current an
nual revenues, a new meaning can
not be engrafted on the expression
extraordinary outlays' by reason of
changing conditions which greatly in
crease the current annual revenue
Sections Of the state law author
izing the levy Of taxes by county
commissioners, based upon an item
ized statement Of the county expenses
for the ensuing year and limiting the
levy for ordinary county revenue to
not more than eight mills on the dol
lar are construed and held to author
ize the inclusion within the levy Of
amounts that may be deemed neces-
sary for the erection and repairing
Of court houses, jails and other nee
essary buildings where the expcndi-
ture, for the purpose is not greater
than can be paid out Of the revenue
for thescurrent year.
The court held that certain other
sections Of the state law authorize
the making Of certain public improve
ments by the board of county COM
nlissioners without the submission Of
the question to vote, where the
contemplated expenditure is not
gre Ater in amount than can be pro-
vided by the annual tax

PROHIBITION
BILLS BEFORE
THE COMMITTEE
Senate Judiciary Sub Commit
tee to Consider Fate
of rs Proposals
FEW CHANGES EXPECTED
Some Call For Modification of
Dry Laws, Others For
Strict Enforcement

Washington, May 6.-lR-With .
record of three weeks Of prohibition
hearings behind It, senate judiciary
subcommittee set out today to for.
mulatc recommendation as to the
fate of 1G wet and dry bills.
Measures ranging from modifica-
tion of the 18th amendment to q
referendum on the Volstead act had
precedence, but with the committee
composed of four drys and one wet
the anti-prohibitionists had no doubt
as to the fate Of their bills.
Besides the measures, the commit
tee had before 1t more than half a
dozen administration bills designed to
strengthen the VQlstcad act and to
broaden the powers Of the prohibition
forces in preventing smuggling both
across the international borders and
from the sea.
While the prohibitionists favor
these measures on the whole, they en-
terrain little hope of seeing any of
them translated into law eat this ses-
sion. Nearly all of them carry pro-
visions which the wets regard as an
invasion Of rights guaranteed under
the constitution and they are prcpar-
ed to wage long warfare against
them.
Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
the one wet of the subcommittee
who furnished most of the fireworks
ut the public hearings, is prepared
to make a fight for some Of the wet
bills, proposing modification Of the
V0lstead act and a national referen-
dunn on that law. Losing there, he
will carry on his fight against the
administration bills and particularly
against ths proposal to give the
prohibition forces the right to search
dwellings where there is a suspicion
that liquor is being distilled for
commercial purposes.

CAMPAIGN TO
CLEAN UP CITY
WELLSTARTED
Bismarck Is Rapidly Taking
on a Fine Appearance
Scouts Work Hard

The clean up and plant up CAM
paign which opened in Bismarck the
first Of this week is now we'll under
way and the city is already showing
the results of the drive to make Bis
marck cleaner aud more beautiful
city.
Members Of the Lions club clean
up committee made tour of the city
last evening and found that practi-
cally every property owner is comply
ing with the requests made to make q
special effort in cleaning up the city
this week. A few places were found
where persons were not inclined to
improve the appearance Of their
property by hauling away ashes and
rubbish and cleaning up the lawns
and boulevards, and in such instances
the city authorities will be asked to
enforce the ordinance relating to this
matter. A city ordinance provides
that the city may clean up property
where the owners faikto do SO and
assess the costs against the proper
ty benefited.
Short talks are being given at all
theatre performances this week in
which the listeners are urged to as
sist in the work and to plant flow
ers, gardens. shrubbery, trees, ETC.,
thereby helping to make Bismarck
the "city beautiful"
A meeting Of all committees engag-
ed in the work will be held tomor-
row evening at which time the pro-
gress Of the campaign will be noted
and the large map, of the city will
be prepared to indicate what property
has been cleaned up and what has
not. This map will be placed in the
Hoskins- Meyer window Friday and
persons interested may learn there
from just how the campaign is pro-
crossing in their particular part of
the city. The Boy Scout troops are
active in the campaign and each troop
is endeavoring to have Its section Of
the city appear at its best, a. the
troops are in competition for prizes.

ONLY 2 WOMEN
IN THEDAKOTA
PENITEN'TIARY
State Probably Has Fewer
Women Prisoners Than
Any Other in Union

North Dakota probably has fewer
women prisoners in Its penitentiary
than any other state in the union,
figures complied by Warden John J.
Lee show.
Figures compiled from . large
number Of prisons show that 95 per
cent of the inmates are men and five
per cent women, Lee said.
North Dakota's peniteatiary, has 295
male inmates and only two women.
The female popu1ation Is less than
SevenLtenths of one Per cent.
This probably 10 accounted tor, Lee
eaid, by She fact that women are less
liable to get into serious trouble than
men and also because fewer women
are convicted of crimes with which
they may be charged.

\-Still Some Land Which
Is Not Leased

Fifty-thrce quarter sections Of land
were leased by the state land depart
ment duriug April for a total of $8,-
835.26, records in the office of Land
Commissioner Carl r. Kositzky show.
This figure, however. will not rep

Kostizky said. since many tracts were
leased last year and the year before
for three-year period.
In practically every county. Ko-
sitzky said. some state land still is
cation to the land commissioner.
It is probable, Kositzky said, the
attempts will be made to use some Of
the land on which no leases have been
taken. He plans to send his inspcc-
tors out within the next month to de-
terminc if such is the case and bring
prosecutions against those violating
