Brandes, a member of the local district committee, awarded the streamers to local scoutmasters as part of the court of honor ceremony last Wednesday evening. Troops of the Christianson district were awarded their streamers Mon- day evening at a court of honor at Taylor. All troops in this area re- ceived the award—New Salem, Glen Ullin, Taylor and Almont.

Police revealed these threats as they began their second day's search for the 31-year-old scion of a wealthy pioneer Colorado family and delved into circumstances of the previous Chief of Police Albert T. Clark, who a year ago solved the Benjamin P. Bower kidnaping case and obtained the safe return of the baker, was optimistic. Claude K. Boettcher, father of the victim, was impatient. “We're just where we were last night,” he exclaimed in exasperation. Boettcher, police said, feared ab- duction. He, with several other Den- ver businessmen, was named for ab- duction or death in a series of threats made here two years ago by a man or men who identified themselves as “Chisix.” Clark said he did not know the men who carried out the actual kid- naping but intimated he knew the leaders of the pilot. Inyestigation continued of men and women with criminal records here and a search went on in other cities for men with police records who were reported to have been here recently. Clark’s optimistic declaration that the cage will be cleared up soon car- ried with it the enigmatic assertion that “the ransom has not been paid— yet.” He refused to enlarge upon it. Both the elder Boettcher and Clark said they had not heard from the ex- tortionists since the men took Boet- teher away from his home at 11:50 Pp. m. Sunday, despite the fulfillment of the ransom note instructions to insert a personal ad in a Denver newspaper, giving a code message which meant the family was willing to deal for the safe return of the captive. HOME-BREWING TAX Solons From Ward and Benson Would Impose Levy on ‘the Makings’ A tax on malt syrup, and malt ex- tract or wort is proposed in a bill in- troduced in the senate Monday. Senators J. H. Burkhardt, Ward county, and C. W. Fine, Benson, are authors of the measure which would impose a tax of 25 cents a gallon on wort, and five cents a pound on malt syrup or malt extract. In addition, provision is made for licensing malt dealers at a fee of $2 a year, to be used in enforcement of the act. The attorney general is given authority to revoke licenses for viola- tions, through the state licensing de- partment. The rate of tax on corporation net incomes over $3,000 is increased from 3 to 5 per cent under a measure in- troduced by Senator J. H. Brostuen of McKenzie county. On incomes under $3,000, the present 3 per cent tax re- mains unchanged. Retail gasoline pumps would be li- censed and taxed under a measure proposed by Rep, Nelson of Ward. His measure directs that the state tax _Photopeagh* Ruth Atexoidee Moe: Girl Scouts have nimble fingers and “‘witting hearts, «They prefer to out pretty clothes, when they can get the material, but thousands ef. them are contributing their services as imatresses,. to. the needy these hard. times."

County registration of motor ve- hicles, with the state and county di- viding the proceeds, is provided in a measure introduced by Rep. Ward Symington of Pembina county, who said it would cut red tape, providing for quicker service, less misunder- standing and result in greater in- come to counties.
