& HALL EXPECTS 60,000 MOTOR CAR LICENSES Secretary of State Predicts Number of Vehicles Register- ed Will Be Large WHOLESALE ARRESTS FOR BORDER COUNTY BANDITS Present indications are that there will be at least 60,000 registered motor vehicles in this state before the end of the year. At the present time over 12,000 more cars and motorcycles are registered than were. registered last year. This number will be greatly increased as reports from various parts of the state, particularly the western and southwestern part, indi- cate that the motor vehicle law has not been vigorously enforced. Secretary of State Thomas Hall has been conducting a campaign for the past two months that has resulted in bringing into the fold of registered ve- hicles hundreds of cars that heretofore have not been licensed. The co-opera- tion of the county sheriffs and state’s attorneys throughout the state has been enlisted, and the result of this work, together with the work of a few special officers, is evident in the increased number of registered cars. ‘Border Counties Problem. Counties in the eastern part of the state bordering on the Red river have a problem to solve, in the case of cars owned in this state operating with Minnesota tags. Information has been secured by the state department, .in over 1,000 cases, and wholesale ar- rests are likely to be made at any time. The matter has been taken up with the Minrfesota state department, with the result that additional arrests will be made by the Minnesota author- ities on the charge of making false statements in license applications. The state of Minnesota issues a three-year license for less than the annual North Dakota fee, but the saving is small in comparison to the costs that will be assessed against Dakotans who have been registering their cars in Minne- sota. Dealers Fail to Comply. There are still hundreds of dealers in the state who have not complied with thé new regulations relative to dealers. The idea has been prevalent in ‘parts of the state. that this law would not take effect until July 1. The Taw became operative in March and fs being rigidly enforced. The regula- itons relative to glaring headlights -is | in‘efféct July 1.; This: law).puts the ban on all:lights which throw a direct Tay over! 42 inches above .the.road, at + @ distanéé. of '75,feet.. Thousands of &uto owners in the state have already complied with that law, and no diffi- éulty is expected in enforcing it... ‘County Officers Help. ° According to the secretary. of state, the sheriffs and -state’s attorneys.in the: various';counties have. been mare than glad ito aid: in the: work: of en- Yorcing ‘the automobile regulations. Wertain of them: take a pardonable pride in‘ the fact that their counties are’comparatively free of unregistered cars. The greatest difficulty: has-been experienced in the larger cities of the ‘state, but police departments are show- ing more of a spirit of co-operation now than they did earlier in the sea- son. » Money for heads. Over $112,000 was distributed among the 52 counties in the state last year, practically all of which went into road improvement work. This amount will ‘be greatly increased this year, and will mean more and better roads. The secretary of state is anxious to have every auto and motorcycle owner in the state appoint himself a committee of one to see that his own and every motor ‘vehicle. he meets on the high- ways is properly registered. Sych ac} tion will mean better roads: in the state, which benefit motor .. vehicle owners more than any others. o—_—_—-________y | GRAIN MARKETS =| MINNEAPOLIS.

The old board won the first decision in su- preme court several weeks ago, when that tribunal denied the petition of Governor Frazier, filed through the at- torney general, for a writ of ouster. The litigation had its inception Jan. 15, the last date upon which the gov- ernor could message to the senate nominees to succeed two members of the board of regents, whose terms ex- pire July “1. Instead of two names, the governor sent in five, with a leng- thy opinion from the attorney gen- eral holding the appointment of the board two years ago ‘by Governor Hanna and its confirmation by the senate illegal, inasmuch as these acts took place in March, as prescribed by the act, while the act did not become effective until July 1. The senate rejected all nominations. They were twice returned and twice more rejected, and adjournment was taken without any nominations having been confirmed. Governor Frazier’s next step was to serve notice on the board of regents, declaring their seats vacant and demanding place for his five nominees, whom he _ furnished with commissions. The board resisted, and ouster proceedings followed. There is now said to be a question whether the governor can name suc- cessors to the two members whose terms expire July 1, inasmuch as he did not submit his nominations for confirmation by the senate at the proper time. $15.10 to $15.35; : pigs, $11:00 to. $14.70.

JUMPS INTO THE SOUP POT Negro Waiter Gets Scare When He Opens Box Marked “Fresh Eels.” ‘Pittsburgh, Pa.—When Jasper Cook, negro, waiter in'the Hotel Newell, on request of the chef opened a box marked “fresh eels” and saw several large and angry black snakes, with fangs bared, glide out on the floor he promptly jumped in the big soup pot, which fortunately was filled with a luke-warm mixture. In three seconds after the first snake made his appearance, Jasper was the only human being left in the cookery, and he was speechless from fear. ; It took the police half an hovr tq clear out the snakes which had been sent to the hotel as a joke. When fished from the soup pot, Jasper ‘vowed “dem wrigglers morny: dun give me a scare.” OWL PUTS OUT T THE LIGHTS Leaves a North Carolin Carolina Town In To! tal Darkness, but Loses its Life. Durham, N. C.—A few nights ago, about 9:30 o'clock, the electric lights of Morganton, N. C., began flickering and finally went out. It’ was later dis covered that a little insignificant acreech owl was the cause of the trou- ble, losing its life as a forfeit for at- tempting to light on an insulator and for depriving Morganton of lights for about five hours. The bird was shown on the streets of the town. Its wings were scorched from tip to tip and Its body was burned by contact with the lite wire. ‘When the owl alighted on the Insu- lator, the current was started racing to the ground and the insulator burst. The line wire was burned tn two, and when {ft fell the current was cut off eutomatically at the switchiag statiog, An Explanation. Charlotte had been taught to say the grace before each meal.

We do not know their faces. ‘They are ‘hands’— they are not men.” Arnold Toynbee, social economist, delighted in the term because an employer now. can buy only the workman's “hands ;” “his ‘life’ fs now his own, to be cherished as a no- ble independence.” The London Daily Chronicle speaks of “hands” as a’“Yankeeism,.” The term has been used by Englishmen from the middle of the seventeenth centurv.
