a | 14)000 SHERP WERE | SHPPED INTO STATE DURING 1930 SEASON Receipts of Wool-Bearing Ani- mals Were 215 per Cent Of Those in 1929 During the late sum summer and fall of 1930 there was a considerable move- ment of sheep and lambs from other bee? into North Dakota, according Teports received at the federal tatishelan’s office at Grand Forks. This office gathered the information through the helpful assistance of the county agents, state livestock sanitary board, the state agricultural college, the various railroads, and interviews with men who are in touch with livestock interests of the state. A summary of the information re- ceived indicates that in 1930 the ship- Tents of sheep and lambs into North Dakota totaled approximately 140,000 as compared with 65,000 head in 1929, ‘or 215 per cent of the 1929 receipts. ‘The disposition of the sheep re- ceived last fall is estimated to be as follows: 22,000 head will be retained for*grazing through the winter and possibly through the coming summer; 85,000 head will be sent to market; and the remainder will be retained for breeding and additional mar- ketings. The sheep. shipped in were also classified as to sex, of which mature ewes represent 28.9 per cent of all sheep shipped in, or about 40,000 head, while 40.1 per cent are ewe lambs, or 56,000 head, and 31.0 per cent, or-44,000 head, are wethers. The sheep shipped in in 1929 were disposed of, according to estimates, as follows: 69.1 per cent, or about 45,000 head, were used as breeders; 2.23 per cent or about 1,000 head, were held for grazing; and 28.8 per cent, or 19,- 000 were shipped to market. The number held as breeders in 1930 shows @ marked decrease as compared with the 1929 numbers. In comparing the inshipments of sheep carrying the privilege of “feeding in transit” with the intentions to market, there is a very close relationship, as 58.5 per cent of all sheep shipped in are being fed in transit while the estimate in- dicates that 60.6 will go to market. A comparison of the revised esti- mates of wool production in 1929 and 1930, made by the Division of Crop and _ Livestock Esti- mates at Washington, indicates that the United States clipped 310,561,000 pounds of wool in 1929 and 336,007,000 pounds in 1930, an increase of 82 per cent. To these clips must be added 54,500,000 pounds of pulled wool in 1929 and 61,900,000 pounds in 1930, or a total production of 365,061,000 pounds of wool in 1929 and 397,907,000 pounds in 1930, or an increase of all wool over 1929 of 9.0 per cent. The large increase is accounted for in part by the increased numbers of sheep shorn on the farms and in part by heavier fleeces. Pulled wool is the wool that is re- moved from the pelts of sheep that have died or have been slaughtered. FELT HAT IS CLUE TO MURDERER Of MAN IN ST. PAUL Three Theories Regarding Cafe Slaying Are Investigated by Officials St. Paul, March 20.—(#)—One of two felt hats Friday furnished a clue to police attempting to apprehend the slayer of Frank Van, St. Paul, who was shot to death behind the Green Lantern cafe. ‘The hat, a soft gray felt, was found behind the cafe with another, identi- fied as belonging to Van, is believed by police to have been worn by the killer. Three theories were being investi- gated Friday. One was that Van was shot as an outgrowth of a rumored machine gun raid on a Minneapolis gambling house last week. Another was the shooting was an outgrowth of personal differences between Van and the slayer and the third was that liquor differences caused the killing. Carl Lund, who told police he was in his room over the cafe at the time, said he saw two men get into cars and drive away shortly after the shooting. Mrs, Dorothy Van, wife of the slain man, said she and her husband were sitting together in the cafe when a stranger asked Van to step out. Shortly after the two left the cafe, quarreling was heard, she said, fol- lowed by two shots. Van was struck in the head and in the back. Van was identified by William Ul- mer, a brother-in-law, who was un- able to furnish police any motive. Valley City Man Dies in Automobile Valley City, N. D., ‘.

D., March 20.—(?)—Sur- Passing the 1930 membership and 1931 quota by huge majorities and defeat- ing South Dakota by a large margin, the North Dakota Depertment of the American Legion has just completed the most outstanding membership drive in its history, Jack Williams, state adjutant, declared here Friday. On March 16, closing date of this year’s campaign, Williams said, the roster stood at 8,885, 2,276 ahead of the membership last March 16. By virtue of its membership the de- partment surpasses the 1931 quota by 545, wins the contest with the Legion Auxiliary and the South Dakota de- partment, and has 418 members more than in 1930. There is little doubt, Williams said, the department membership for this year will be over 10,000. In a communication to Williams, R. J. Kamplin, Bismarck, State Legion commander, praised state workers for their efforts and said it was without @ doubt the finest record ever estab- lished by North Dakota Legionnaires. Six district deputies, who set up a campaign machine for their areas some months ago, will be given a trip to the national Legion convention in Detroit, Mich., this summer as a prize. Each of the districts went “over the top” more than 100 per cent. Bismarck led the list of the cities doing the best membership work of the 10 largest cities, going over its quota with 147 per cent. The other nine cities are Valley City, 128 per cent; Wahpeton, 122 per cent; Fargo, 120 per cent; Lisbon 110 per cent; Dickinson, 102 per cent; Devils Lake 93 per cent; Minot 83 per cent; Jamestown 73 per cent; and Grand Forks 63 per cent. On the honor roll as having the largest percentage gains were Langdon with 275 per cent; Donnybrook 244 per cent; Niche am per cent; and Edgeley 209 per cent, The first district, of which Fred Fredrickson, Valley City, is deputy, amassed a total membership of 2,275 as compared with & quota of 2,217, or 102 per cent of the quota. Led by Frank Coffman, Devils Lake, the sec- ond district had 1,675 members and a gain also of 102 per cent of the quota of 1.639 and Dr. H. 8. Kreidler, Wahpetc4), put the third district over 110 per cent with 1,249 members and @ quota of 1,132. The fourth district, with A. L. Fos- teson, Bismarck, as’ leader, had 1,372 members March 16 as compared with @ quote of 1,243 and the’ fifth district had 1,270 members, or 108 per cent of its quota of 1,172. That district has Charles Devine of Williston as de- puty. ‘Theodore Martell, Carson, led the sixth district to a 111 per cent mark, its membership March 16 being pod as compared with a quote of | Thursday Additional membership cards have been received from all districts since the campaign c’ } Williams said.

Housewife Can Make Tasty Dishes Of Left-Overs in Ice Box or Pantry “Much as the small boy accume ulates a motley array of marbles, fish hooks and mechanical de- vices in his pockets so the avers age homemaker gathers in her ice box and pantry shelves a miscel- laneous assortment of left-over foods. If she makes a careful survey of these left-overs before planning the meals each day she will find possibilities there for palatable dishes,” believs Hazel Thomas, of the home economics - department at North Dakota Ag- ricultural college. “Suppose the housewife were to find in her ice box a dab of jelly, some creamed chipped beef, a cold baked potato, a few slices of ba- con, a helping of baked beans, a cup of stewed tomatoes and some cold beef steak. If served as a cottage pie the steak will make an attractive and palatable dish. First cut it into cubes about one- half inch square and heat with left-over gravy or drippings in a frying pan. Pour this hot gravy mixture into a casserole and over it heap hot, fluffy, freshly mashed Potatoes. Dot with butter and Place in a hot oven to cook for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika and serve hot. “The bit of jelly. may nicely serve as a garnish for rice pud- ding or blanc mange for lunch. By adding a little milk to the creamed chipped beef, heating it and combining it with scrambled eggs, a tasty dish is obtained. The slices of bacon may be cut up fine and added either to French dressing for a cabbage salad, or to a muffin batter. “Cold baked potatoes when cut lengthwise into sections as ve French fries, and’ browned drippings, make a tasty men, for a juicy steak. Left-over veg- etables may be used in stews, sal- ads or soups. Add water, a boullion cube and a slice of onion to the tomatoes and beans, c.ok ‘until very hot, rub. through a strainer and-serve piping hot as an appetizer for dinner.” HIGHWAY EQUIPMENT CONTRACTS ARE LET Purchases Made by State High- way Department Total $101,371.76 Contracts for $101,371.76 mainten- ance equipment have been let by the State highway commission, according to a tabulation of bids announced Thursday by T.
