FRAZIER STILL FOR
PROHIBITION LAWS
Does Not Think volstead Act
Will Be Modified During
Short Session

Minneapolis, Nov. l4.-(P)-There
undoubtedly will be a strong effort
to modify the Volstead act at the
coming short session of congress, bu:
it probably will fail, in the opinion
of U. S. Senator Lynn j. Frazier of
North Dakota, in Minneapolis Mon
day en- route to Washington.
Senator Frazier visited Mayor Will

who was executive secretary of the
North Dakota state board of admin
istration while Senator Frazier was
governor.
He was to stop in ST. Paul to visit
his colleague, Senator Gerald Nye of
North Dakota, injured in an automo-
bile accident Saturday near Hudson,
Wis.
THE farm strike and other eco
nomic disturbances in the northwest
have done much to make the east
realize there is real farm problem"
Senator Frazier said. Il feel sure
congress will pass some farm relief
measures at the short session. There
is support for the so-called Frazier

made to stabilize farm prices Also
Senator Frazier said he was Every

Il, personally, still am opposed to

The Bidding

South bid one diamond-a con-
sentative bid. West passed and North
bid one no TRIUMPH sign-off bid.
East passed. and South now show
ed second suit with a bid of two
hearts. This naming of two suits
shows an exceptionally strong hand
and asks partner to make choice
it also shows five diamonds and four
hearts.
West again passed and now North
not having support in diamonds, or
normal support in hearts, made bid
Of two no trump that might look nor
NAL.
But bid of two no trump is con-
structive bid, and partner has a per-
feet right to continue. With hand
containing only a king and jack,
you certainly want to sign off and
the best sign-off bid is a pass.
East passed, and it so happened
that South, due to his weak double
ton. decided to give up trying for
game.
The Play
The play was quite interesting.
East opened the king of diamonds
and the declarer allowed it to hold
the trick. East continued with the
queen of diamonds, declarer winning
with the ace and then Immediately
leading three rounds of hearts. The
hearts broke and West was in on the
third round.
West did not have a diamond to
lead and decided to attempt to es-
tablish his weak club suit. He led
the fourth best club which the de-
clarer allowed to ride to the dummy.
East's queen was knocked out,
dummy winning the trick with the
ace. The good seven of hearts was
then cashed, everyone diScarding a
spade.
The nine of clubs was next played,
the declarer letting it ride, taking
the finesse. A small spade was then
led, West played the ten, declarer
the jack, and East won the trick with
the queen. East then cashed his
jack of diamonds, West dropping a
club, and declarer a spade.
East was now helpleSs-if he re-
turns a spade, West will be forced
to win and will have to lead a club
through declarer's tenace, while if a
diamond is led, the two diamonds in
dummy will be good.
The play allowed the declarer to
make his contract of two no trump.
However, South would have been
justified in taking his partner to a
game contract which could not have
been made.

REPORT n. CATTLE
in GOOD CONDITION
Sheep Also Are in Good Flesh,
According to Survey BY
Government

Fargo, N. D., Nov. A.-North Dako-
ia cattle and sheep are in good flesh
and condition, according to the Octo-
Der first range and livestock report
OF the federal statisticians office
here.
October weather was somewhat
colder than normal. However, the
temperatures did not work any hard
ship on the stock. A very severe
blizzard and sleet storm swept over
the western tWo-thirds of the state
which hampered to considerable de-
gree the proper care of the stock. No
serious leases were reported by ranch
erS and farmers. Aside from the in
convenience the snow storm was of
great benefit to the soil as the ground
was not frozen.
Hay, feed, water and winter range
prospects. ARE good. A few small spots
are short Of hay and feed but these
are scattered SO that there is ample
feed in all communities with proper
distribution.
Stock are not moving to market as
freely as they did year ago. Farmers
and ranchers are holding back in
hope of better prices. Reporters indi-
cate that they are culling out inferior
STOCK with a view to improving their
herds and flocks thus making them
more profitable.
Prospects for fattening cattle and
sheep are ideal so far as feed and for
age are concerned but finances and
relatively high prices for feeder stock
has held back the buying of feeders.
1t appears that there are less sheep
on feed in North Dakota this year
than year ago.
North Dakota ranges fell off 4
points in condition during the month
leaving it at 70 per cent of normal,
compared with "a year ago and
1873 the 10-year average Much of
the range in the state is covered with
snow for the present. South Dakota
dropped point while Wyoming gain
ed 2 points and Montana held even.
Condition of ranges in the western
states is 81 per cent of normal, COM
pared to "a month ago. u year ago
and 1875 the 10-year average.
Cattle and calves in North Dakota
held even for the month. Reports
indicate that they are in good flesh
and condition. Cattle in South Da-
kota and Wyoming went off a point
and Montana held even for the month.
In the western range states the condi-
ton figure is IS per cent of normal, 81
a month ago, 81 year ago and 89.5

North Dakota sheep and lambs held
thei- condition of 83 per cent of nor

Sheep and lambs of the western

DECLARES TAX LIST
| MUST Be PUBLISHED
Attorney General Says Initiated
Law Not Effective Until
Vote Is Canvassed

Holding that county auditors can
not legally comply with the initiated
measure eliminating legal publication
OF deliquent tax lists, Attorney Gen.
eral James Morris has ruled that the
delinquent tax list for 1882 must be
published in official newspapers in
each county of the state.
The initiated measure cannot be-
come effective until Dec. 8 and Nor
ris ruled that county auditors cam
not comply with 1t and give the re-
quired notice after the return Of the
election is officially declared by the
canvassing board, as the time Is too
short to give the notice which Is re-
CURED by the proposed initiated mea-
sure.
Since it would be impossible for
the county auditor to comply with the
provisions of the proposed initiated
measure we are of the opinion
that such measure cannot and will
not affect the notices of sales of real
estate for delinquent taxes for the
year 1882"
Morris also held that in determin-
Ing their course of action county au-
ditors may not be guided by unofficial
election returns as reported by the
press but must await the official de-
termination of such vote by the state
canvassing board.
Under the present law, notice of
delinquent tax sale must be given In
the official newspaper of each county
to appear weekly for two successive
weeks, the first publication to appear
IA days before the date of sale, which
is held on the second Tuesday in De-
cember of each year.
The initiated measure would elimin-
ate this system and would require the
auditor to prepare lists of delinquent
taxpayers which would be posted in
his office and in four other conspi-
cuous public places.
The fee provided for such advertis-
ing under the new law is Is cents per
tract. Under the old law publication
fees were added to the delinquent
taxes.
