LIQUOR PROBLEMS
 UNSOLVED IN US.

Rev. David P. Gaines, speaking at the First Baptist church last night on the liquor question, urged tenn perance education and criticised newspaper articles extolling recipes for mixed drinks containing alco- holic connections. Rev. MT. Gaines expressed the hope that the news papers will exclude liquor advertis- ing or else cut down the extrayagant claims made about liquor. Accord ing to the speaker the liquor prob lem in this country is yet unsolved after two years of repeal. He de- clared that it is possible that in 10 years there will be return to pro- hibition.
 He pointed to the example of the Saturday Evening Post in exclud- ing liquor advertisements and said that he hoped to see all the news papers do the same. He attacked the syndicated articles of Irwin Cobb extolling hard liquors and glv- ing recipes for m:xed drinks. He said that the Cobb articles may have gotten into some newspapers without the knowledge of the man. agement.

Launching Of Burleigh county's
annual campaign against grasshopper
infestation was begun this week by
Robert Montgomery, assistant county
agent, with the circulation of petit
tions requesting local cooperation
with the program Of the federal gov
Arnment.
Petitions which were mailed to the

Hopes to Deal Death BLOW
The extension agent predicted with
careful control 1T Matching time prac-
tically all Of the trasshopper troub-
les would be eliminated this year.
A car Of poison bait belonging to
this county Is now In Stutsman coun-
ty. Montgomery pointed out, adding
that II this was returned the cost Of
the drive this year would DO cut
approximately In half.
On the basis Of estimates made by
the state extension service and fed.
eral entomologists. adequate control
Of the infestation In the state win re-
quire the distribution Of @l6,54O tons
Of poison bait. OF this amount the
various counties are being requested
to furnish 5.535 tons, the balance OF
which will be distributed by the fed
eral government.
No Federal Appropriation
No appropriation for grasshopper
control was made by Congress this
year, Montgomery said. Consequently
the federal funds are considerably re-
duced from the amount available In
1884. the only available funds being
q portion Of the total appropriated
last year and left untouched.
Operations planned on a system
similar to that followed last year vii;
strive to deal . decisive blow to the
insects soon after they are matched

According to careful estimates made
through soil examinations in every
county Of the state. 3,32o 1899 acre.

Dakota this spring. This is abou,
1000 900 acres less than in 1894. The
infestation is widespread through the
state, the most severely menaced
sections being the northern tier of
