Pettis, whose dance band Is well

Three years ago they were married.
On the wedding morn, Miss Keller
received notice that she would have
to start on six weeks tour. The
honeymoon was amusingly brief. She
packed her wardrobe trunks and left.
On the day she returned, Pettis was
leaving town for a 20-week engage

They were married! Dan placed a

drew Cherry toward him and kissed

the bride scarcely heard. Then she
and Dan were outside in the night.
Bill Pringle stood beside them
on the steps.
"Well," he said gaily, NOW for
the honeymoon! You two want a

He held up two fingers, whistled
shrilly and a cab that had been
cruising down the opposite side of

Dan and Cherry got into the cab.

HEARINGS IN GRAIN
Rate CASE Will Be
HELD NEXT MONTH
Proposed Higher Scale Would
Cost N. D. Farmers $4,-
900, 900, Expert Says

Word has been received by the
North Dakota railroad commission
that hearings in the reopened grain
rate case will be resumed in Mime
apolis Jan. 16 by an examiner for the
Interstate Commerce commission.
Hearings previously have been held
at Chicago. Seattle, Los Angeles Fort
Worth, Dallas and Kansas City, Mo.
The case involves increases propOs-
ed by the railroads on all rates on
grain and grain products, including
flax and other seeds from North Da-
kota to the Twin Cities, Duluth and
other markets, and also for increases
on mill products and livestock feed
from various points In North Dakota.
E. M. Hendricks, traffic expert for
the North Dakota commission, and
Commissioner Ben C. Larkin attended
the Chicago and Kansas City hear
ings, where the traffic expert present.
ed numerous statistical and rate
studies in connection with the grain
rates and traffic from North Dakota.
Hendricks and members of the
commission will offer further testi-
mony at the Minneapolis hearing. DR..
Alva H. Benton, farm economist of the
state agricultural college. who appear
ed at the Kansas City hearing, will
submit complete economic study of
North Dakota to date.
The case was termed by Hendricks
as by far the most important freight
rate case now pending before the In
terstate Commerce commission" He
said the case so far has been fought
alone by the North Dakota commits
sion.
1t was estimated by Hendricks that
on normal years business the car
riers proposals, If they become effec-
tive, would cost farmers of North Da-
kota an additional 100000 in freight
charges.
Ninety-five per cent of all rail ton
mage originating in North Dakota to
destinations outside of the state Is
grain or grain products, and because
of the low price Of grain. the freight
charge is a large proportion OF its
destination value, Hendricks said.
Hendricks and his assistant, F. p.
Aughney, are preparing exhibits for
the Minneapolis hearing.

The report follows:
Volume of export clearances Of Ca

M'BRIDE APPEARS

to the house ways and means COM
mittee a resolution adopted by the
leagues board Of directors opposing
modification OF the Volstead act.
Reciting that the committee was
considering bills to legalize beer. the
resolution said:
I'VE reaffirm our faith in the policy
Of national, constitutional prohibition

beverage alcohol problem.
IS an intoxicating liquor. The beer
traffic prior to prohibition represent
ed over 80 per cent Of the volume Of
the liquor trade. The prohibition
movement was directed against the
liquor traffic IN its entirety and not
simply against 10 per cent of it.
ITO license the sale of beer would
be violative of the constitution.
Would Be Notification
ITO simply withdraw the penalties
from the manufacture of beer and its
sale would constitute notification,
which always is indefensible.
ITO legalize the sale of near beer
or beer not actually intoxicating
would not satisfy the demands OF
those who desire alcoholic beverages.
Such legislation would be acceptable
to neither friends nor opponents Of
the 18th amendment. Its legislation
Is therefore unjustifiable.
There has been no direct public
expression upon the question Of beer.
Such legislations as have been held
upon the prohibition issue have been
more directly upon the social policy
represented by prohibition rather
than upon the legalization Of beer.
1.-THE agitation for the legalization
OF beer as means Of raising revenue
is a preteXt and sham. The amount
Of a non Intoxicating beer which
could be sold would yield no substan-
tial returns in revenue in proportion
to the budget deficit. The 18th
amendment forbids the legalization OF
