CHIEF. SWANSON
MAKES CAPTURE

Chief E. H. Swanson is about as
happy man as there is in Valley City
this morning and at the same time he
is one hundred dollars better off as a
result Of his picking up couple of
young criminals yesterday morning.
A few days ago he got poster offer
ing one hundred dollars reward for
the capture of Roland Palmer, l8, and
Frank Cushman, 16, two youthful
burglars who robbed the safe of
Pettibone Lodge, Mimi, few days
ago taking with them $500 in cash
and $1,000 in jewelry, consisting Of
diamond rings and wrist watches, be-
longing to guests who had left them
at the office for safe keeping and
which were placed in the safe. In
making their getaway the boys took
a six cylinder Oldsmobile car belong
ing to gentleman from Nebraska.
The boys beat it to Valley City and
wanting the best there is in the way
of eats and place to sleep selected
the Kindred Hotel and proceeded to
live in the most approved manner,
ordering meals that none but capi-
talists dare order.
They took an excellent liking for
several of the waiter girls around the
city and made the hearts of these
daughters of Eve happy by bestowing
upon them rare gifts of diamond rings
and bejeweled wrist watches, which
were pleasing to their vanity and joy
to behold. These young men were
royal sports to say the least, but IT.
tie did they think that Chief Swanson
was watching them. That's where
they made mistake: After Ernie
was dead sure they were the boys ne
wanted he ambled over to. the Kin
dred and asked Mr.. Lane if he was
harboring couple of young men an
swering the description Of the circu-
lar. Mr.. Lane said he had a couple
of young fellows upstairs that might
answer that description and our chief
of police quietly stole upstairs and
without any ceremony proceeded to
vank them from their beds and early
morning slumber and in that ruthless
fashion so noticeable to the criminal
class, took them over to the city bas-
tile and gently but firmly thrust them
into the inner recesses of the Jail to
await further developments. Then
Chief Swanson got Sheriff Conrad
Glaum, of Detroit, Minn., on the wire
and gave him the glad tidings Of the
capture of these young desperadoes.
The sheriff arrived last night, identi-
fed the prisoners, handed our happy
chief check for 800 and beat it
back to Detroit on No. 2 taking the
boys with him. The sad part of the
whole story is the crestfallen feeling
of the girls who had to strip the rings
from their fingers, loosen the wrist
watches from their delicate wrists
and hand 'em back to the chief.
: This is not the first offense for
either Of these boys. The youngest
one had already served nineteen
months in the reformatory for steal
ing a big Cadillac car and the other
one was arrested for stealing a car
but got away from deputy sheriff:
The circular said the boys had a bad
reputation. We should Judge so.

APPOlNTMENTSBY
MISS NELSON

Bismarck, July %. The state
board Of education held its final meet
ing here yesterday. It will 60 out Of
office upon the. naming of the new
administration board. Today follow
ing the final meeting Miss Minnie j..
Nelson, state superintendent, made
three appointments. She also an
nounced the resignation of E. R. Ed
wards Of Jamestown, who served for
four years as state high school in
spector. Mr.. Edwards will become city
superintendent at Yankton, S. D..
Miss Nelson named A. L. Shaffer,
formerly city superintendent at CIR
rington, but recently in war work
with the Red Cross at Washington
to fill the vacancy. She also an
nounced the re-appointment of Ed
ward Erikson and j. w. Riley as ru-
raj school inspector. Inasmuch as
these were not passed upon by the
board Of education it is believed
Miss Nelson named them as def
ance of the incoming administration
board,

COST OF HAIL INSUR-
ANCE l5c PER ACRE

Bismarck, N. D., July "a. - i. j !.
Sheahan, deputy insurance commits
sioner in charge Of the hail depart
ment in Commissioner Olsness' Of
flee, is more optimistic over the out
look for the departments first sea-
sons operations under the new semi
compulsory hail insurance act. In
dications are that hail losses will av-
erage much smaller than originally
estimated. To date 1921 claims have
been adjusted and complete returns
made, and the average indmnity has
been but $137. The total for which
warrants have thus far been issued
is $349,979.
At noon yesterday 6,297 claims
had been filed with the department.
II the early average is maintained,
this will involve the payment of
$812,689 in indemnities to the own
ers of crops damaged. Mr.. Sheahan
believes that the hail season is more
than half over, but, even though as
many more claims should be received
which is not likely, the department
would have only a trifle more than
$1,70O,OOO to pay out, and it has ten
million acres of land over which to
spread this assessment. Inasmuch
as the flat acreage tax of three cents.
applied to 3O,OO0,O0O acres of arabic
lands, yielding the department $780,
900 to begin with and since the expen-
ses of the department have been kept
down to very reasonable figure, Mr..
Sheahan does not believe than an as
sessment of more than Is cents per
acre on the farmed land which is
covered by the act will be necessary.
The last assembly provided for
maximum assessment of so cents,
and some of the senators in discus
sing the bill expressed fear that this
would not suffice. This assessment is
to be spread on the tax rolls by the
board Of equalization when it sits in
the fall. Reports covering the lands
to, be assessed will be made by the
county auditors, in whose hands are
| record of the withdrawals. The in
surance commissioner will advise the
state board of equalization as to the
amount which he will require and
the number of acres over which it is
to be spread, and the county boards
will be directed to act accordingly.
"Losses reported as a result of
the storm of July 13 have not yet
been adjusted" said Mr.. Sheahan to-
day. eve have, however, adjusted
the claims presented after the big
storm in Ransom and Barnes county,
and we have found the losses not
nearly so high as originally antici-
pated / am of the opinion that,
taking everything into consideration,
our experience for the first year Of
operations under the new act will
be very satisfactory"
| Commissioner Olsness operates a
half-dozen big departments of the
state government with staff of not
emore than ten people. In addition
to being insurance commissioner, he
is head of the hail insurance depart
men, chief of the state bonding de-
partment and Of the state fire insur-
ance bureau. Aside from that being
a bachelor, he has little to worry
| about.

steader in North Dakota and owns a
farm near Tuttle. He is familiar with
the problems before the board, having
stepped from the work as secretary
to the outgoing regents. Mr.. Totten
has been chosen chairman of the
board.
Another appointment Of a Fargo
man was that Of H. ]. Hagen as a
member Of the depositor's guarantee
fund commission to succeed /. e.
Hampton of Fargo, who is moving to
st. Paul. Mr.. Hagen is president of
the Scandinavian-Ame bank. He
is head of the Old Settlers club.
The new personnel of the state
board of bar examiners also was an
nounced. This is made up Of Emer-
son Smith, an attorney of Fargo, for
the two-year term until October 26,
1921; r. Goer of Devils Lake for the
four-year term, and George H. Moell-
ring Of Ray, Williams county, for six
years. Mr.. Smith has been on the
old bar commission for several years.
Under the new law, examiners be-
come licensing body, under whose
inspection every lawyer in the state
must pass. It is also given power to
advise in disbarment proceedings and
is counted on to raise the standard
Of ethics in the profession.
s DR.. C. H. Babcock of New Rock
ford was reappointed to the board of
veterinary medical examiners.
Four other positions in the state
service remain to be filled. These are
the Office of commissioner Of immi-
grafton for which DR.. John H. Worst
has been mentioned, and the three

The Congregational Guild gave an
ice cream social in the city park last
night which was literally patronized.
One of the pleasant features Of this
social was the playing Of the Munich
pal band, the boys very generously
voting unanimously to play at this So
cial, thereby helping very materially
to draw the crowd as well as the make
the occasion one Of pleasure. The band
gave H. very fine concert under the
leadership Of Mr.. Griffith and the la
dies are grateful indeed for their help
as well az for the pleasure derived
from the splendid concert given. It
is such acts Of kindness as these that
makes the old world q good place in
which to live.

WEEDS

Many of our people in the past have
been proud to tell strangers they re-
side in Valley City, especially when
some one has remarked, .'What a
beautiful little city," Proud Of our
city we should be but in order to be
justly so we should strive to do all in
our power to really make our city
what it can be, "The City Beautiful"
This cannot however be done by the
growing of great patches Of weeds
on our vacant lots, in our back yards,
on our lawns and boulevards. What
has become of our civic pride, why
this neglect. Mayor Moe stated this
morning he would make one more ap-
peal through the board Of health and
police department and if that does not
bring results, will have every prop
erty owner in the city arrested who
does not clean up their weeds. We
have an ordinance covering this pro-
position and shall instruct our city
attorney to enforce it..

SPEEDING THE
INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. IL
Attorney General Palmer yesterday
received enthusiastic assent from
virtually all state food administrators
of whom he asked cooperation in the
governments efforts TO reduce the
high cost of living. At the same time
he sent instructions to all district at
torneys to get in touch with the food
administrators and to act at once on
any evidence of law violation.
A development of the day was a
request by Mr.. Palmer of Secretary
Houston that inspectors of packing
houses be instructed to furnish to dis
trict attorneys upon request, and in
formation they might have.
Living problems continued to alb
sorb much of the attention of con-
gress. Federal supervision of the is
suance Of stocks and certificates was
proposed in the senate. Cold stor-
age regulations suggested by Presi-
dent Wilson was taken up by the
house agriculture committee. Eu-
ropes import of food from this coun-
try, particularly that purchased with

dent Wilson said was necessary to

who declared people abroad were buy
ing American products cheaper than
they could be purchased at home.
