. In general, the balloting followed
the outline set in 1926, when the more
populous centers were "wet" and the
rural districts "dry." The increase in
the dry vote reflected the work of
dry organizations, which campaigned
actively this year, whereas in the
beer referendum they instructed their
constituents to ignore the balloting.

Threaten Recall of Legisla

Milwaukee, Wis., April 8.—Wis
consin's plea for repeal of the state
prohibition enforcement act and 2,75
per cent beer, rested on the doorstep
of the legislature awaiting action.
Wets, after piling up a majority
of more than 100,000 votes as a pro
test against the eighteenth amend
ment and Volstead and Jones acts,
clamored for the legislators to heed
results of Tuesday's referendum and

SERVICE EXTENSIONS
AT LESS GOST
Rural Seotiona
and Urban Subscribers Both Benefit
Continuing its aim to provide the most
telephone service and the best, at the least
cost to the public, this company recently
announced an increase in the amount
allowed for the extension of telephone
service to subscribers located in sparsely
settled sections and for the installation of
private branch exchange systems most -
commonly provided for larger telephone
users in cities and towns.

Previously,
this company in furnishing service to out
lying subscribers had paid at least $35.00 of the cost of
construction for extending a new line from an isolated ranch
or fa: m to the nearest existing telephone pole line. Under
the new practice now effective, the company will pay $75.00
and iu some oases more, when conditions warrant.

effort to provide a service that will enable anyone anywhere
to tal i by telephone with anyone else anywhere else.

Benefits of School Activities

It should be the desire of every
pupil and patron to raise the stand

There has always been two sides to
every question, and there always will
be as long as the world endures. We
see so often that people argue in a
circle and never know just definitely
what they are arguing. It takes sys
tematic thought and knowledge to de
bate intelligently, so why not have a
debating club in our school where pu
pils will get the right foundations for
proper debate.
Doing has always been more effec
tive than just reading. In life we do
and act. Why not make our reading
and study more life-like by acting and
studying the principles of self
pression. Dramatic clubs for pupils
will satisfy that need,
Our great out-doors has many a
hidden pleasure for those who can see
with sympathetic eyes and hear with
ears that understand. But how shall
one know who has not heard. In ad
dition to a knowledge of nature there
is always the health element that en
ters into the question of the open air.
There is a need for Nature-study
clubs. Closely allied with this might
come a physical education club that
will teach the fundamentals of health
ful living, morally and physically.
Hiking with a purpose is always bene
ficial pastime.
We have at present some school
activities, but there must be some
thing wrong with them because they
are not well attended, and we feel
that they do not reach enough stu
dents.
Let us talk up our school activities
and build un a program which will
take care of our wants and needs.

Taking the opposite view, Senator
Norris told the United Press.
I think the Wisconsin referen

voters in Wisconsin who elected
Mr. Hoover have now declared for

Drys insist little significance should
be attached to the Wisconsin referen

been accepted as a wet state.

The four questions, which Sinclair
charged in his appeal were improper,
asked about Sinclair's dealings with
two publishers, Bonfils of the Denver
Post and Shaffer of the Rocky Moun

Teapot Dome were settled by Sinclair
before he leased Teapot Dome from
Secretary of Interior Fall. A third
( question asked where Sinclair met
Fall previous to the making of the
lease, and a fourth, put by Senator
Adams of Fall. Senator Thomas J.
Walsh, the committee prosecutor, who
led in tracking the devious course of
the illegal leases made by Fall on the
government's naval oil reserves, put
the first three questions. It develop

Says C !l nadian Farmers
Solve Relief Problem
Washington — (FP) — Canada's
wheat farmers, by forming the
groat co-operative wheat-market
pool which is now the world's most
successful enterprise in that field,
have shown the way for effective
farm relief. This was the opinion
given the Senate committee on ag
riculture, March 27, by G. W. Con
nell, of the Minnesota Wheat Grow
ers Marketing Association.
Connell presented the demands
of the National Wheat Piool Con
ference at Kansas City, which ask
ed that surplus products of the
farm be afforUed the benefits of a
protective tariff through the Mc
Nary-Haugen bill. He said that if
the stabilization features of this
bill were enacted into law, 60 per
cent of American wheat farmers
Could be brought into the co-oper
atives, and would thereby aid in
the process of stabilizing farm
prices.
MONTANA DIVORCE IS HELD
INVALID IN THE PROVINCES
Lethbridge, Alta.—A divorce grant
ed in Montana courts, providing the
husband is domiciled in Canada ,is
not recognized in Canada, according
to a judgment just handed down here
by Chief Justice Simmons of the su
preme court of the province. The
judgment was given in the suit of
Munroe against Munroe, which hinged
on the validity in Canada of a divorce
granted in Montana.
Judge Simmons held that, according
to the English law, recognized in Ca
nadian courts, the Montana divorce
did not hold good as Claude Munroe,
the husband, was at that time domi
ciled in Canada, an though his first
wife was in the United States, she
was by law domiciled in Canada, as
the domicile of the husband is that
of the wife also. In that the parties
were domiciled in Canada and not in
the United States, the divorce granted
was accordingly invalid.
