RIVER FROZEN OVER HERE Fails to Break Record of 50 Years For Late Closing ‘The Missouri River failed to break its own record of 50 years history of the weather bureau for late clos- ing, In 1884 the river closed on De- cember 14, the latest on record. Yes- terday ‘the river began closing, and the weather bureau’s official record, according to the river observer to- day, will show that it closed iate yesterday here, just two day short of the record, A cessation of the brisk wind yes- terday and an abundance of sunchine ‘brought another clear, pleasant ‘winter day to the city. The lowest temperature recorded during the night was 13 above. At 7 a. m. it was 17 above and at noon it was 25. The highest yesterday was 32, However, farther were shivering. It was 2 below’ in Calgary, 14 below in Prince Albert and 6 below in Winnipeg. It was 12 above in Williston and 4 above in Moorhead, Minnesota, opposite Fargo. + Bees, Color-Blind, Must Learn Way by Experience Bees are color-blind and they learn their way about by experience rather than by. instinct, according to tests recently conducted by scientists. The experts show that to these honey- making insects, red and black look alike, orange and yellow are the same ag green, and there is no difference in the. appearance of blue, violet and purple. However, they can see ultra- violet rays, which are invisible to the human eye. It-was found that the guiding: influence which takes them back home is nothing more than ex- perience. It has been long known that bees locate hives quicker, the longer they have ‘occupied them. During the experiments, some were put to sleep by-ether, taken from a new hive, and moved 12 yards away. On the third day 30 per cent returned and 90 per cent-had reached home on the eighth day. ee Auto Stored on Sliding Shelf to Save Space in Garagé™ same time every. day of the year, Often the device fails to work because of cloudy skiés that prevent sufficient heat from: reaching it to ignite the Rolled from a driveway onto’ plat- forms that slide to their storage hat the World Is Doing CAS SEEN BY POPULAR CMECHANICS (MAGAZINE of the moving “shelves” can be pi to the passageways for loading and returned to position in a few momenta, Owing to the ease with which they can be moved, ‘hand power alone iv required.

Jn- formation secured will be presented at the hearing of the commission on the proposal to increase the wheat tariff from 30 cents to 45 cents per bushel. spring wheat in individual farmers to determine their bushel and acre costs of production, a questionaire being answered by each farmer to determine the indivi- dual items of cost. Similar data is also being secured for flax, Figures were secured at Wheaton Halstad and Crookston last week, and the crews will enter North Dakota this week, beginning at Casselton and Larimore today. Other points to be covered in the state include Jamestown, Steele, Carson, Hettinger, Devils Lage, Fessenden, Rugby, Towner, Minot and Crosby. The sur- vey will also include northern Syuth Dakota eastern Montana, and the spring wheat belt in Canada. P. W. Bidwelf, who has charge of field work for the tariff commission, is the general supervisor of the pro- ject and also has personal, supervi- sion of one of the field crews, and O. A. Juve, temporarily assigned to the tariff commission from the U. S. department of agriculture, — has charge of the second crew. The work is being conducted in cooperation with the county extension agents and the farm management departments of the various agricultural colleges. Stanley Wilner of the farm manage- ment department at the North Dako- fa Agricultural college, and F. D. Wilkinson, graduate student at the ‘college, are working with one of the crews. Headquarters for the field crew may be made at Fargo. Sche- dules of costs for both wheat and flax will be obtained from about 700 farmers in the localities named, ac- cording to Mr, Juve, who reports that little difficulty has been en- countered thus far in securing the necessary information. The field , work will require more than a month , to complete. GRAND FORKS SETS RECORD i IN TAX SALE Grand «orks, Dec. 13.—A . record was set in Grand Forks county when, ; for the first time in the history of the county, a tax certificate was bid off at zero rate of interest. An unusual activity in bidding on certificates covering farm lands was also a feature of the annual tax sale which opened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and closed last evening. According to Martin Haugen, coun- ty auditor, who acted as auctioneer of the sale, every farm tax certifi- cate was bid off by private parties, whereas the county has been com- pelled in former years to take part of these certificates because of lack of bidders. Tax certificates amounting to ap- proximately $100,000 were disposed of during the sale and these were distributed among 60 bidders, the county and 59 others, The new record for low rate of in- terest was established when two bidders, Lawrence Bjorgo of Thomp- son, and M. L. Dryberg of this city, atarting with other bidders with the maximum rate of 12 per cent, reduc- ed the offering on one descriftion until four or five per cent was reach- ed, when these two men were the on- ly bidders. Mr. Dryberg bid one per cent and Mr. Bjorgo bid “no per | cent,” whereupon Mr. Dryberg in- {quired as to what he could do next.
