brought into play.
To Follow Same Policy
In making early plans for the 1926
elections, the league follows the pol
icy established in the first national
getout-the-votc campaign in 1924. 1t
was in the fall Of 1922 that league Of
ficers conceived the idea of an APP
peal for majority vote. because less
than one-half Of the voters were par
ticipatng in national elections. Eff
forts in 1924 resulted in raising the
voting percentage slightly above the
so mark.
Reports reaching national league
headquarters here give evidence of an
early and keen interest in the fall
elections, in which there will be 80
senatorial campaigns, and 81 guber.
material contests. Special attention il
being directed to the study Of regis
tration laws, and election procedure
by scores of local leagues throughout
the country.

BOOZE MAKERS
WILL BE TAXED
ON M0ONSHINE
Will Help in Enforcement and
Will Also Pay Greater
Part of Expense

Washington, March TO- R) -
Plans to use the taxing power OF the
government as a weapon against
bootleggers were announced today by
Assistant Secretary Andrews Of the
treasury, in charge If prohibition en-
forccment
Deputy internal revenue collectors
will be designated to serve with
prohibition administrator; and levy
and collect taxes on the manufacture
Of moonshine.
Not only will this prove an eff
cient enforcement step, in the opin-
ion OF Mr.. Andrews, but sufficient
revenues should result in few years
to defray the entire cost Of enforce
ment.
The law provides, he pointed out.
for the collection of $6.40 a gallon
on distilled spirits which are divert
ed to beverage purposes.
Attempts will be made, he said, to
collect taxes not only on the amount
of liquor seized but on the total
amount which prohibition authorities
estimate the bootlegger has manu-
featured.
Collection of such taxes already
has been tried out in the Pittsburgh
and Texas districts and has proven
successful, he added.
Fines amounting to S50,000,00O an
nually are now collected by the gov
ernment from prohibition violators,
he estimated, and with the addition
of the taxes Mr.. Andrews is conf
dent the annual federal bill Of about
$3O,OOO,OOO for prohibition enforce
ment will be met.

been her glory in the fashion world
for five seasons may say farewell
to the straight lines which have been

EIGHT YEARS
WERE GIVEN TO
MAKING FILM
Lives Were Lost and Govern
~ ment Archives COmbed
in Getting Pictures

Many lives were lost, the archives
of dozen or more nations searched,
and eight years consumed in the max
ing Of the great film classic, "The
World War;" which will be shown at
the BisNarck City Auditorium Friday
and Saturday evenings under the
auspices of the Bismarck post Of the
American Legion. Proceeds from the
affair will be used by the Legion to-
wards the erection or furnishing of
the proposed Community Building.
There will be but one showing Of the
picture each evening.
Mr.. George F. thinner, connected
with the g. S. Naval Intelligence De-
partment during the war, and who
was commissioned by the United
States Government to make the film,
went personally into all fields Of ac-
ton with his staff Of camera men to
obtain the "shots" seen in this pic
ture.
Mr.. thinner was with the Grand
Fleet in the North Sea; with subma-
rines in their under-sea work off the
coast of Ireland; he crossed the
ocean to France and England count
less times, on destroyers, battleships
and transports, always in the zone
of action. He was with the avia-
tors, not on the ground but with
them in the air where the action was
taking place; he used land planes,
sea planes and. dirigibles. He went
aboard surrendered U-boats, destroy
ers and secured never-tO-be forgotten
close-ups of submarine warfare. His
cameras were trained on the greatest
concentration of artillery fire in his
tory: his men recorded the lombard
ment of seacoast towns from vessels
thirty miles out at sea and his CAM
cras were covering President Wilson'S
moves while he was in London and
Paris.
Service To History
Commenting on Mr.. Zimmcr's serv-
ice to his government in making this
film, Admiral w. S. Benson, u. S. ~,
retired, said:
"Mr. thinner has performed great
service to the Government and to his
tory. Throughout the entire work OF
making this great picture during, the
war and during the aftermath, he
personally directed the making OF
pictures, and the actual experience Of
having seen and lived through them
has given him special knowledge Of
all our actions lover there" possess
cd by no other person. He executed
his duty in an excellent, efficient
manner and obtained splendid results.
The conscientious and fearless way In
which he carried out his work amid
hardships and dangers deserves the
warmcst praise

Course on Fruits,
Vegetables, Trees,
Offered by College

"What kind Of trees and vegetables
shall get and how shall | plant
Them" are questions that will be
asked by some member of every fam
lily in the northwest during the next
six months. These are financial as
we'll as home making problems be
cause right varieties, properly planted,
add value and home pleasures to every
farm and every city lot.
1t is known fact that millions of
dollars of cash money have been paid
out for UNACCEPTABLE shelter, shade and
fruit trees in North Dakota in the
past. To save this waste of human
energy and to help the homc-loving
people of this state realize their
dream to have shelter-belts, fcautiful
shade trees and fruit bearing trees.
the North Dakota Agricultural Col
lege has prepared correspondence
course consisting of twelve lessons on
the subject of fruits, vegetables and
trees.
The first four lessons deal with
trees-varieties to plant, location Of
the shelter belt, preparation of the
soil, ordering the stock, planting and
later care. Lessons five to eight take
up fruit trees from the standpoint Of
adapted varieties, location, soil prep
arati0n and cultivation, varieties,
pruning, spraying, winter protection
in other words, the essentials for sue
cess. The last four lessons cover the
subject of vegetables with special
emphasis on varieties, ordering seed.
making hotbeds, planting, transplant
ing, cultivation and harvesting.
This is service course offered by
the state college to the home loving
and home making people Of the north
west. Everyone taking the subject has
the opportunity of receiving personal
advice and help from Prof. c. B. Wal
dron, who has been horticulturist in
North Dakota for over 80 years.

respondence Courses, State College

Decrease Not Indicated
The scarcity of birds in various
parts of the west during the fall and
winter of 1925 and 1926 does not
necessarily mean a corresponding ac-
tual decrease in the total number of
the existing wild fowl. Mild fall and
winter weather in southern Canada
and along the northern border Of
the United States and the deficient
rainfall in the west have caused err
rattle movements among these birds,
many of their usual haunts having
been passed over by them in the
southwark flight.
The fact that millions Of birds are
reported on some Of the large winter
ing grounds in the southern parts of
the country is evidence that vast
numbers OF them have come down
from the north.
