THREE ROBBER|ES ARE
RECORDED IN AROMORE
CHIEF INDIGNANT OVER
"LAXNESS OF POLICE

Three robberies were perpetrated in
this city last night between the hours
of 1890 O'Clock and daylight.
The Help Yourself Grocery, on
West Main street, was broken into
and the thieves made away with 81
in pennies, s45 in halves. 80 in nick
els, and dimes. S. in quarters, and
a s. bill. 4 citizen who happened TO
be nearby at about 1890 last night,
informed che proprietor this morning
that he had heard the thieves break
in. Just why he had not informed
the police last night has not been
earned. The money was taken from
"a drawer no further than six feet
from the window, and the thieves
could easily have been seen. The
floor was strewn with matches which
the robbers had evidently used dur
ing their operations.
The Duncan and Cox grocery on
North Washington street. was rob
he'd of 81 i'm pennies, and a consld-
cradle quantity Of chewing gum, can
dies. cigars and cigarettes. The
thieves gained entrance to this place
by breaking one Of the glasses in
the door and then christening the
bars by use Of an extension and s
wrench. Both wrenches we're found
in the store this morning. together
with an overseas military cap, which
is supposed to have been worn by
one of the robbers.
The Wade Barber Shop, on Caddo
street. was the other place robbed, the
thieves getting away with a grey suit
of clothes, a pair Of black shoes,
tan suitcase, a wide brimmed Stet-
sen hat. three 4-gallon bottles of
h1ir tonic and 10 pounds of Coal
gates shaving soap.
1t is, the belief Of the police that
all three places were robbed by the
same band of thieves. This belief is
strengthened by the fact that q cap
which was found in the Duncan-CoX
store, and a ROPE found in the Help
Yourself Grocery, were seen being
carried by two members Of a group
81 four boys early last evening by
Chief Chancellor. The youths are
. known to the police and efforts to
locate them are being made today,
The Oldest Of the thieving quartette
is about II years of age, while the
ages of the other three range from
u to Is. They are w%ell-known po-
lice characters, Chief Chancellor
stated.
Chief Chancellor expressed great in
disnation this morning at the lax
ness with which the police are max
ing their rounds of the city's bust
ness section" He stated that there
was no reason whatever for the fail
uro of the police 10 detect the
thieves while in the places they rob-
he'd, for two of the robberies were
enacted within six feet of the front
windows OF the stores. AT the Cox
grocery, they held a banquet" and
catables were scattered over the en-
tire floor.

TREES IN DRY REGIONS

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Seeing
Datus Smiths letter about planting
trees in North Dakota, can not help
but say few words in favor of trees.
Out here in Bottineau county, where I
have been farming for the last 20
years, there is lot Of kick this last
year because trees are dying out.
They say it is too dry.
say there is not a farm in this
neighborhood where the trees will not
grow if they are planted in the right
place, but you build your house on the
highest knoll on your farm and there
you plant your trees, and if you have
little pool of water by your trees you
get the town grader and drain it out.
I got the grader and made a ridge
and ditch around mine and got the
township scrapes and blocked it up
at both ends. Now get the ditch full
of snow water in spring and they do
not need much rain in summer.
have some ash and elm trees 1
planted 10 years ago. There is not
one of them dead yet. Some of my
cottonwoods and willows planted in
the highest places are dead, but where
there is no drain from the trees they
are still living.
I would like to see every pothole in
my field and every quarter line or
southeast line in North Dakota plant
ed to trees. It would stop the snow
and leave it in the fields instead of
running down creeks and rivers and
into Hudson bay.

MOTOR TRUCK ROUTES

Branch railways have been knot
ty problem in the United States for
over a decade. Following 1900 the
building of branch roads practically
ceased. Yet under our present-day
methods they are essential to open
ing up new territory. Our growth in
population needs new territory.
Railway managers also declare that
many of the branch roads already in
existence do not pay for themselves.
On the other hand a trunk railway
like the Western Pacific fails through
lack of branch lines as feeders.
Perhaps two new factors which we
are now developing the motor truck
and good roads--will not only solve
the branch railway problem but lead
to territory and trade development far
beyond what would be possible for
branch lines.
The motor truck can go right up to
the farmers gateway. 1t can cover a
route of 80 miles in length with little
difficulty on good roads. It can de-
velop new lines of trade between town
and country not possible to branch
line railways.
Compared with the investment tied
up in a branch rail line of 80 miles the
cost of motor truck is negligible.
This feature has led to the develop
ment Of farmers cooperative motor
truck associations in many localities
and we are likely to see a great deal
of cooperation in this field in the
near future.

BACK TO BARTER

According to the American Manu-
facturers' Export association q power
full banking combine is being formed
in London to open trade with central
Europe by bartering goods instead of
using money.
Hides, for instance, can be shipped
into Germany, tanned and made into
leather products. This combine will
then take back that part Of the leather
products which has been agreed on
and sell them in the cash markets,
such as Scandinavia, America and the
far East. Cotton, oils and the differ
ent minerals can be handled in the
same fashion. The Austrian gov
ernment has offered to allow all such
business to pass without import or ex-
port duties.
