UPPER HOUSE IS REAL DRY One-Half of One Per Cent Alcohol Content All Now Permissible. Washington. D. C, Oct.. 2S. The senate passed the prohibition en forcement act over the president's veto today and made immediately effective machinery for preventing sale of beverages containing more than one-half of 1 per cent alcohol. The vote was t5 to 20, or eight more than the necessary two-thirds majority. While there was a wrangle over taking up the measure in place of the peace treaty, which had the right of way. there never was doubt as to how the senate stood. It was overwhelmingly "dry," like the house, which repassed the bill with in three hours after the president had vetoed it. , j- " To Annul Wartime Law.

SCHNEIDER, Clerk. enforcement law, despite presiden tial objection to linking wartime and constitutional prohibition acts, there came from the White house the announcement that the war-time law which was put into effect aft er the cessation of hostilities, would be annulled the moment the senate formally ratified the German peace treaty. It was the most definite of all offi cial or semi-official statements bear ing on the war-time act. Prohibi tion leaders were plainly disturbed Ly the news, for they had counted firmly upon the country reaching the effective date of constitutional prohibition January 1C, 1920 without reopening the saloons. Antis Promise No Delay. Despite the clamor set up by wet and dry forces over the White house pronouncement, senate leaders said they would proceed with considera tion of the treaty as heretofore. Senators who have taken an actiVe part in the prohibition campaign branded as unfair and absurd re ports that they would delay the treaty simply to keep the liquor traffic from getting a foothold in the comparatively short period re maining before the country will go dry for good. Formal denial from the head quarters of the anti-saloon league that its officers would take part in my movement calculated to delay the treaty. League officers stuck to the opinion that it would be neces sary first to ratify the' Austrian treaty before lifting the wartime prohibition ban, which was said to have been the ruling of Attorney General Palmer, and they declared their position was not altered by the fact that President Wilson was pre pared to cut through legal doubt and wipe out 'a law, the necessity for which he believes to have pass ed. New Act Drastic. With today's action by the senate he department of justice is ready to deal with any offenders against the drastic provisions of the new act. At best, heretofore, prosecu tions were more or less haphazard and necessarily so, it was said, be cause of the loosely drawn language of the act. but the new law gives ample means of breaking up the traffic. So drastic is the enforcement act that a man for., instance, may. be fined or put in jail for displaying a picture of a brewery or a keg. but his right to store liquor in his own home for his own use stood up against all attacks in the committee and both houses of congress. Warning went tonight to dealers selling 2 pes' cent beer, without risk heretofore, that the new law fixed one-half of 1 per. cent as the legal limit of alcoholic content: . HEALTH.

To the Taxpayers of Cass County: We the undersigned wish to call the attention of the taxpayers of Cass County to the importance of the coming election on November 4, 1919, at which time the question of the issue of bridge bonds to the amount of $100,000.00 will be sub mitted to the voters. We consider that an emergency exists which requires the earnest thought and action of those who are interested in county affairs. Our old bridges have been deter iorating faster than new ones could be boult with the funds raised by current taxation and we the coun ty commissioners of Cass county wish to state that in order to have funds available for the construction cf bridges necessary for the con venience of the public the bonds should be voted.
