HAS THE FARM BUREAU DONE
ANYTHING FOR EMMONS
COUNTY FARMERS?

Yes. It first gained public atten-
tion by securing a reduction of the
rail rate advances asked by the rail
roads. 1t made the passenger and
Pullman traffic stand most, of the in
crease, thus lowering the freight rates,
much of which the farmer pays.
No. 2. 1t defeated the Nolan Bill,
which would have put heavy tax on
real estate in excess of $4,000 valu-
alton.
No. 3. It effected the repeal of
The Daylight Savings Law.
No. a. It has a grain marketing
Of seventeen, which expects to have
their new marketing plan in operation
for next seasons crop. This system
will do away with gambling in futures,
and will give the producer the right
to set the price on his grain based on
the cost of production.
All Of the above mentioned are of a
national character and benefit all far
mers, Emmons county farmers, too,
whether they already are members or
not. Why, farmers Of Emmons coun-
ty, you have alerady received more
value in dollars and cents from the
work done by The Farm Bureau than
you could ever pay back in member
ship fees. Your membership fee is
only drop in the bucket in comp,<-
ison with the benefits you have al
ready received.
Although we are leaving the county
as county agent, we have been per-
suaded by the N. D. Farm Bureau
Federation to remain in the county
three or four weeks to direct the MEM
bership drive. Watch for the pro-
gram and dates next week. There
will be some twenty community meet
ings conducted by farmer farm-bureau
members in the state, who will tell
you all about the Farm Bureau. Do
not fail to hear them.

MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION

The 1920 motor vehicle registra-
tion Of North Dakota expired at mid
night on December, 31st SO those who
are operating cars at present should
see that their cars are properly
tagged as provided by law Early
attention to registration will avoid
congestion later at time when one
can i'll afford to be without license
tags. No cars should be operated
without tags, in fact the law forbids
it, because it is necessary that car
be at all times easy Of Identification.
Public sentiment should make it Inn
possible to operate ar auto without
tags even though peace officers who
are supposed to enforce the law are
derelict in their duty. nodging a
license is neither fair nor square to
the fellow who gets his.
All North Dakota auto dealers are
required by law to take out the first
license on new cars. This license is
recorded in the dealers name and
ownership Of such license must be
transferred to the person purchas-
ing the car within ten days after
such purchase.
In order that there shall be no con-
fusion as to the year Of the tag,
those Of one year present a contrast
to those Of the preceding year. The
1920 tags had q Brewster green back
ground. with cream colored numerals
and letters, while the 1921 tags have
a dark blue background with w',iha
letters and numerals. The contract
for North Dakota,s 1921 tags calls
for one delivery not later than De
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1921-01-20

cember 81, another not later than
January Is, and the last not later
than March 15. The contracting
company has thus far fulfilled it's
contract, and undoubtedly will SC
continue to do SO.
The first or basic fee for passenger
cars is obtained by computing l0
cents per horse power, 20 cents per
hundred weight, and one-half per
cent Of the retail price F.. o. B. fac
tory. The basic fee for trucks in
cludes the items just men::one: Tor
passenger cars and an additional one
for capacity. The second fee is
ninety per cent of the basic fee, the
third fee is seVenty-five per cent of
the basic fee, and the fourth and sue
ceeding fees are sixty per cent of ths
basic fee. The determining factor a.:
to what the fee will be is the num-
Der of times the car has been H.
censed and not the year of manufac-
ture. Ordinarily a 1919 car will
take the third fee in 1921, and con-
sequently the year of manufacture is
indicated in the schedule. However,
# 1919 car is licensed for the frs.
time in 1921, then it will take the
first fee just as if it was manufac-
tured in 1921. The fee for all motor
cycles is three dollars.
The 1921 application blanks differ
somewhat from those used in 1920.
The Motor Vehicle Department has
not sent out the supply OF 1921
blanks yet because the new fee sehed-
ule has not been printed. 1t is ex-
pected that this schedule W.. De re-
ceived from the printer about Janu-
ary 10, and then application blanks
for tags, transfers and duplicates,
and pamphlet containing the 1921
fees will be sent Immediately to all
auto dealers, banks and sheriffs in
the state. Applicants are directed
to use care in filling out the blanks
and when this is done the granting
of licenses is expedited. The cor
rect fee must accompany the appli-
cation, otherwise both the fee and ap-
plication are returned. The Motor
Vehicle Department has no checking
account, and cannot use a draft,
cashiers check or money order un-
less it is for the exact amount Of the
fee.
During 1920 the Motor Vehicle De-
partment received $691 500 for fees
for motorcycle tags, auto tags, dupli-
cate tags and transfers. This was
an increase of $54,658 over that of
1919. Motorcycle registration is de-
creasing as is shown by the regis
tration for the last four years, which
was as follows: 1917-1834; 1913
1858; 1919-9Os; 1920-ses. For
the same period the auto registra-
tion has been: 1917-62, 1894; 1913
71,6s7; 191s-s2,ss5; 1920-9O,s4o.

N. P. SHOWS APPRECIATION

Linton has been visited by several
disastrous fires lately.
On each occasion the City Fire De-
partment responded promptly to the
alarm, and rendered valuable and ef-
ficient service. Our citizens may
well be proud of our Volunteer FIRE
Department, we'll knowing it can be
relied on to do it's very utmost to
save and protect their property.
Not being large city, naturally
our fire department works under
great handicap. The personnel are
volunteers and the equipment, chem
ical engines, with which they have to
fight, while efficient SO long as the
fire is not of large dimensions, is
not such that our fire fighters can
handle such fires as elevator fires or
fires that have gotten under strong
headway, with wind to fan them.
The Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany has shown its appreciation of
the honest and efficient work of our
fire department by sending them
check for ONE HUNDRED DOL
LARS for having saved porperty for
the company during the elevator fire,
accompanied by the following letter
Of appreciation:
"For donation, in appreciation of
efficient and timely work done by the
Fire Department at the midnight fire
at Linton, North Dakota, which de-
stroyed the elevator building of the
Farmers Elevator Company on Oc-
tober 20, 1920, as follows:
"Ini switching by hand to places Of
safety, without loss or damage to
cars or contents, from in front of the
burning elevator, two carloads of coal
and one carload Of merchandise;
"And in assisting train and engine
crew to switch by hand to places Of
safety, without loss or damage to
cars or contents, car Of cement and
an empty car, and in assisting them
to switch away from the burning ele-
vator carload Of grain, the car be-
ing afire all along one side, and in
extinguishing the fire with nominal
damage to the car and none to the
contents. !"
