A shocking story is being told on
the streets today concerning the al
legged stealing of alcohol from local
freight depot few days ago. Inquiry
at the local freight depot seems to
disprove the happening, but the story
is told by so many today that num-
Der of people are under the impress
sion that it actually occurred.
According to the story, report
was in circulation few days ago that
a barrel containing alcohol had been
received at local freight depot, to
be transferred for shipment to the un-
iversity of a western state. The infor-
nation reached certain persons, it is
said, who wanted the "likker" bad
enough to steal it, and who during the
dead of night crawled under the de-
pot and pushed an auger up thru the
floor and into the barrel. draining out
10 or IL gallons Of the alcohol. The
story further declares that the men
engaged in this enterprise were sur
prised at the small quantity Of alco-
hol drained from the barrel. A big
party was arranged, it is said, and
the alcohol was the main, drawing
card. all CT which is said to have
been consumed by the thirsty.
In some manner, it is reported. the
freight depot employees learned Of the
theft and Of the small quantity of
alcohol contained in the barrel, and
an investigation was begun. It was
found, so the story goes. that the
barrel contained the dead body of a
negro, which had been picked in the
alcohol, and which was to be shipped
to medical department Of uni
vers:ty in the west.

AUTO TAGS T0BE
Blue AND WHITE

All of the provinces in Canada and
all of the states in the United States.
except Minnesota, have annual regis
tration of motor vehicles. The 1920
motor vehicle registration of North
Dakota expired at midnight on De-
cember 81 SO those who are operating
cars at present should see that their
care are properly tagged as provided
by law. Early attention to registra-
ton will avoid congestion later at a
time when one can i'll afford to be
without license tags. No cars should
be operated without tags, intact the
law forbids it, because it is necessary
that a car be at all times easy of iden-
tification. Public sentiment should
make it impossible to operate an auto
without tags even though peace off,
GERS who are supposed to enforce the
law are derelict in their duty. Dodg-
ing 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 purchasing
WIG Sn1 "ACIilH CCIl cllCCl SuCH
purchase.
In order that there shall be no con-
fusion as to the year of the, tag, those
of one year present contract to those
of the preceding year. The 1920 tags
had Brewster green background
with cream colored numerals and let
tiers while the 1921 tags have a dark
blue background with white letters
and numerals.
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 schedule has
not been printed. 1t is expected that
this schedule will be received from the
printer about January 10; and then
application blanks for tags, trans
fers and duplicates and a 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
correct fee must accompany the appli-
cation otherwise both the fee and ap-
plication are returned.

CHEAPER LIGHT
 RATES PROBABLE
Installation of 22,500 Meters May Mean Reduction in
 Monthly Bills

It Is probable that reduction will be made in the electric rates ef- fective in Birmingham early in 1922 The installation of electric meters is expected to reach the point of 22- 500 during the month of December. according to J. s. Pevear, president of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company and general manager under the receiver. This fact will be reported to the Alabama public service commission, in ac- cordance with it's order, at the clos. of the business for December, when the meter installation has been bal anced up.
 An automatic reduction of one-half a cent per kilow@tt hour was to have been made in the rates in Birming ham when the number of meters in- stalled reached 22.500 under the old rate schedule, which was approved by the public service commission sev- eral years ago.
 Following a hearing last summer when the street car fare was in creased to cents and the electric rates were considered, this reduction was set aside ana the present rates were continued by the commission. which ordered that when the point at which the automatic reduction was to have been made effective Is reached it must be reported and the matter will then be considered.
 Lee c. Bradley. receiver for the company, in an application to have the automatic reduction set aside, asked the commission to fix the rate on a more scientific basis than on the numberg of meters installed.
