NEW OLDSMOBILE 10 BE SHOWN HERE SOON J. A. Fleck of Fleck Motor Sale: Returns From Minneapolis Inc., Returning from Minneapolis, where he viewed the first presentation in this area of the 1934 Oldsmobile, J. A. Fleck of Pleck Motor Sales, Inc., Bismarck, expressed confidence in the 1934 automobile business outlook. Executives of the Oldsmobile fac- tory at Lansing appeared simultane- ously before thousands of Oldsmobile dealers and salesmen in 30 cities throughout the country. This ap- pearance was made possible through the medium of sound motion pic- tures, Fleck announced that shipments of the 1934 Oldsmobile eight already are en route to Bismarck from the Lansing factories. Local display of these cars will be announced within a few days. “In the face of the upward trend of motor car prices,” Fleck said, “Oldsmobile has announced for 1934 @ vastly-improved eight-cylinder car held at last year's low price. In ad- dition, Oldsmobile soon will enter the low price field with a new six-cylin- der car. With this new combination, Oldsmobile will cover that price range in which nine out of 10 automobile buyers will choose their cars.” Spectacular motion picture demon- strations of Oldsmobile's new features were made in the sound motion pic- ture shown, Fleck said. These includ- ed driving the Oldsmobile down a railroad track over the ties, racing across rough railroad crossings at 45 turns at high speed to illustrate the advantages of Oldsmobile’s new knee- action front wheels, ride-stabilizer and center-control steering.

DAMAGE CASE OVER AUTO MISHAP OPENS Bismarck Parties Involved; Bridge Construction Ac- tion Dismissed How to Stop a Cold Quick as You Caught Ie Fargo, N. D., Jan. 18—North Da- kota’s areas of heaviest grasshopper infestation have gradually shifted to the western two-thirds of the state, curving east along the northern tier of counties as shown in the accom- Panying shaded map. Especially heavy infestations are found in the southwestern and north- western corners of the state. Cava- er county also is the center of a se- vere infestation. ‘With one of the worst general in- festations 1n years in sight, however, no part of North Dakota can feel safe trom serious losses to crops next sum- mer and fall. As indicated on the nap, five counties in the southeast corner have the lightest infestation but even they have localized spots where the abundance of *hopper eggs in the soil is alarming. Of particular import to the state as whole, and to states throughout the infested region, and to across the line in Canada, is the high percentage of eggs of the lesser- migratory species of grasshoppers in the soll. No less than 50 per cent are of this species, F. D. Butcher, ento- mologist of the North Dakota Agricul- tural college extension service, esti- mates, Fargo, N. D., Jan. 18—(#)—Figures showing the extent of refinancing of farm mortgages in North Dakota by the St. Paul Federal Land bank, un- der the farm credit act which became effective July 12 last, were presented at the general session of the Farmers and Homemakers week, Wednesday, by W. A. Cleveland, assistant secre- tary of the bank. Dr. H. L. Walster, dean of Agri- culture at the N. D. A. C., gave sug- gestions for use of wheat acreage which must be taken from wheat production under the production con- trol program. F. D.

The Bridgeman-Russell company, Plaintiff, asks $199.99 while the defend- ants, Thomas J. Haggerty and Lavina H. Cook of Bismarck, partners in the Cook and Haggerty Insurance firm, have made a counter-claim for $1,500. ‘The collision occurred at the inter- section of Fifteenth Sf. and Rosser avenue. Cecil Ackley, Bridgeman- Russell employe, was driving a truck and Haggerty was driving a sedan. It is claimed Haggerty suffered injury when the two machines turned over after the impact. Members of the jury are Theodore Dorman of Boyd township; Slyvan Halverson and Gerald R. Jones of Regan; Severt Gylden of Wing; Nils Tosseth of Wilton; Nora L. Allens- worth of Menoken; M. H.

After an afternoon of testimony in the case Wednesday, the plaintiff an- nounced to the court Thursday morn- ing that important witnesses in the action are not available at this time. The plaintiff sought $300 actual damages and $5,000 punitive damages for an alleged conspiracy which he said deprived him of a job of bulld- ing approaches to a vehicular bridge over the Heart River in Mandan, built by the state highway department.

This com- Plicates control and represents a con- stant menace to crops everywhere in the region. That is the reason why ¥ concerted control program for all states and provinces where grasshop- prs are bad is being advocated. Butcher, who with entomologists of the United States department of ag- ticulture, examined the soil in every county of the state last fall for eggs of the insects, says that small grain and flax fields everywhere are loaded with the eggs of the lesser-migratory “hoppers. These locations are favorite egg beds tor the species, while the other types such as Warrior or clear- winged, two-striped and differential, are found mainly in grass land along roadsides, fence rows and in pastures. Plowing of small grain and flax flelds to a depth of four to six inches before May 15 will exterminate the bulk of the lesser-migratory species, Butcher declares. Burying does not in itself destroy the eggs, as the in- sects will hatch out just the same. However, the young ‘hoppers are not strong enough to work their way through three or four inches of firm} J, Winton, 70, of lis, ee dent of the Winton Lumber Co,, and a Poisoning of areas where the other species are concentrated—fence rows,| He had been ill several days. days later after the insects have Do You Really Want To Stop That Cough hatched is recommended as most ef- You can do it with a ticles.
