KILLING OF BEAVER
IS: STATE VIOLATION:
BAILEY GETS RESULTS

Beaver have multiplied and eX-
tended their operations SO rapidly
and extensively in Minnesota the
past few years and their pelts are
now so valuable that they have be-
come a strong temptation to persons
of easy game law morality. From
practical extinction these proverbi-
ally industrious animals have in
creased to comparative abundance in
many localities and their engineer
ing proclivities have given rise to
some complaints from farmers of
flooded meadows and other anoy-
ances. Although investigation often
discloses that complaint is apparently
inspired more by desire to get the
beaver than by any actual damage to
property. -
In cooperation with the Federal
Inspector, B. j. Shaver, of Ashland,
Wis, the game and fish commissioner
has been carrying on an investigation
the past few months Of illegal traffic
in beaver skins which has unearthed
considerable evidence Of beaver
tions and convictions have resulted.
1t is comparatively easy to kill beaver
without detection but not so easy to
dispense of the pelts without dis
covery as some have found to their
sorrow. The parcels post has been
the favorite method of shipment, but
this Is in violation Of postal regula-
tions as well as Of federal and state
law.
Recent Convictions.
Recent convictions for illegal TAX
ing of beaver in Minnesota have been
as follows

Government Man win Tax Barberry
Bushes.

-psf buSucSs
II loyal citizen of Manchester
knew of a German spy who was plot
ting to burn a local grain elevator in
an attempt to hinder the wheat con-
servation program of the country, he
would turn him over to the authori-
ties at once. II he caught him in the
act he would swat" him then and
there. Yet there are citizens right
here in Manchester who are harboring
on their premises, unknowingly, an
enemy who may destroy as much
wheat within the next few weeks as
the loyal bakers and housewives will
save in year by Hooverizing.
Now, Citizens of Manchester, II you
know that by some means you could
help in saving this tremendous amount
Of grain the question need not be ask
ed, would you sacrifice lawn shrub
to accomplish this end?"
Every barberry bush that Is not
dug up and burned in the next few
days, except the harmless Japanese,
Is q menace to the wheat and 0at crop
in this vicinity and may help to start
rust epidemic like the one in 1916,
when enough small grain was destroy
ed to supply every man, woman and
child in the United States with loaf
day for three years, ten months and
four days.
Be loyal Americans. Help your gov
eminent protect us against a REPETITION
Of the 1916 loss in 1918. Dig that tall
barberry bush of yours out today and
be certain that you have done your
best to protect our 1918 Liberty crops
against that terrible plague, Black
Stem Rust.
School Boards Meet Problem.
School boards in all parts of the
state are arranging to send men and
women, particularly men, to the Iowa
State College for work in the new
industrial subjects. The teachers of
agriculture and manual training have
shown the usual loyalty to the profess
sion and have gone into the national
service This means that men above
draft age or women who have been
raised on the farm, must use the sum-
mer school in order to meet the mini
mum requirements to teach. The
splendid plant and equipment Of Iowa
State College is made available for
this purpose.
The government has also called
strongly for women, particularly for
clerical work, and this means that
many college girls. who formerly
taught home economics have entered
the government service. Other wo-

2. Water system full, but engine
heats up quickly?-Water Is not cir
culating freely. Make sure that cir
cult Is open.
3. Cooling system 0. K, engine

A Few Suggestions for the Care Of the
Tractor:
1. Keep all working parts we'll oil
ed and clean.
2. Overlooking reduces the efficien-
cy and life of the tractor.
8. Trust no anti-freezing compound
in your tractor.
4. If engine is to stand idle for
very long, run 1t in shed for pro-
lection from the weather, and-put a
thin oil in the cylinder; cover valves
and all working parts with coat OF
oil; turn off fuel at tank; drain pipes
and carburetor; remove battery and
coil, If used, and store in dry place.

Shin in Corn From Iowa.

Silas Erickson, prominent farm
er living five miles west Of Glenburn,
was in Minot Friday enroute home
from Buena Vista county, Iowa, where
he bought a car load of corn for him
self and his neighbor, J. T. Phillips.
The corn laid down at Glenburn cost
about dollar bushel. Mr.. Erick-
son says that there is but little good
corn in Iowa as it developed very
poorly last year. He says that there
the corn in not more than one crib
out of a dozen will be fit to ship after
it is thawed out. Mr.. Erickson lived
in Iowa nearly fifty years and he
says this is the poorest crop of corn
he has ever seen grown in that state.
Much of the corn is selling in Iowa
for 40 cents per hundred for purely
feeding purposes, as it will spoil as
soon as warm weather sets in. The
Iowa farmers are feeding all Of the
corn they can to their stock.

SECRETARY HOLDE|N
is RE-tNCACED
Board of Directors of Association OF
Commerce Give Secretary New
Contract at Advance.

Will E. Holbein, secretary of the
Minot Association Of Commerce, was
re-employed for his third year by the
Board of Directors at their meeting
Monday afternoon.
That the services of the wide-awake
secretary are appreciated, was dern-
onstrated by substantial increase in
his salary for the ensuing year.
Mr.. Holbein took charge of his work
two years ago and while he has not
been doing any Dragging, he has done
some mighty effective work. He has
supervised his work in such a way
that he has received the best Of sup
port from the various committees of
the Association.
The Association has assisted in the
organization of the Town Criers' cluo,
the Minot Automobile club, the Girls
Military Squad and several other sub
sidiary organizations which are do
ing excellent work. The Association
committees have had charge of the
two Liberty Loan campaigns, the Y.
M. c. A. war campaign, the various
Red Cross drives, all Of which have
been very successful. It would make
too long a story to mention the var
ious activities of the Association but
just now the organization is paying
particular attention to the work OF
the war and will continue to do so un-
til the end of the conflict, realizing
that the business of winning this war
is the most important thing which
now confronts the American people.
