Civic Pride vs.. Common Sense.

After having put over an "Own Your
own Home" week big, one Kansas
town has suddenly discovered that 30
or 40 families, inspired by the idea OF
having a domicile they could call their
own. had purchased dilapidated
freight cars at SIS each, taken them
off the wheels and located them as
homes in various parts of the city
Now the city fathers are trying to find
! way to check the practice. Civic
nride may be hurt now, but the am
hitious box car owners will make up
for it by pride of ownership. It's a
GOOD start.ASioux City Tribune.

DRAG NET Is
SPREAD FOR
TWO SUSPECTS
Men Declared to Have Com.
mitted Robbery Escaped
From South Dakota Jail
MONEY IN GRANARf
Men Identified as Those Hav'
ing Entered Stores in
Sterling, Burleigh Co.

Approximately $4,000 in loot stolen
from the Farmers State Bank OF
Hebron on August 18 was recovered
in an isolated granary nine miles
south of Mclaughlin, S. D. and Of
ficials through the reservation coun-
try today have spread a dragne ct
which is expected to lead to the ar
rest of the two men alleged to have
blown the safe of the bank.
The men sought, alleged to have
been identified as the robbers, are
Fred Rover and Theodore Dvorak.
They escaped Jail at Mcintosh, South
Dakota, last week where they are
held for robbing a store at Lawier,
S. D.
The loot was brought to Mandan
last night by Sheriff Charles Nc
Donald of Mandan. 1t included: four
$lO0 Liberty Bonds, one $50 Liberty
Bond, $4,000 in American Bankers
Association Travellers checks, notes
apgregating $780,, non-negotiable,
and approximately $70O in ten and
twenty dollar bills which were so
badly torn by the charge of dynamite
which was used to blow the safe that
they were non-usable.
Operations Checked
A check of operations IS said to
identify the men as the parties hav-
ing robbed store at Lawien, S. D.,
a gasoline station at Mckenzie and
e%o ok limo
A farmer entering his granary in
Corson county, South Dakota, for the
purpose of cleaning it out prepara-
tory to storing grain saw boxes of
the kind used for Keeping money. He
notified authorities. A search reveal
ed the loot from the Hebron bank.
The two men had been arrested
for another robbery of hardware
store and had indicated their will
ingness to plead guilty. They were
lodged in the flimsy country Jail
and escaped. Since they did not have
an automobile it is believed they es-
capped on train and are still in
the reservation country. A shotgun
which had been stolen at Lawien,
fixed their guilt for the JOB.
The men had given Butte. Montana
as their home. The car they had was
a heavy type Oldsmobile which they
admitted having stole in Miles City,
Montana. In it were found tacks of
the kind used to stop pursuers after
the Glen Ullin bank robbery.
No Connection
Sheriff Mcdonald said there was
no connection with the Hebron job
and the attempted robbery of bank
in Glen Ullin. The latter job, he said
was probably done by three men, one
an ex-convict from the North Dakota
renitentiary, who left MandaU the
day Of the robbery.
For the past ten days the Hebron
gang has been working between Bow
man, N. D. and Lennon, S. D.

Stock Raisers
Protect Prices
BY Joint Action

Buenos Aires. Sept. 6.-A co .orer-
ative association of cattle raisers
similar to those operating in the
United States is being organized
here by DR.. Tomas A. lie Breton,
Minister Of Agriculture, to protect
their interests and insure fair prices
for stock sold to packers for export
and to the Buenos Aires meat trade.
Cattle raising is Argentina's most
important industry and prices have
reached such low levels that some
times, it Is asserted. they do not
cover the cost Of transportation from
the ranches. DR.. Le Breton would
have the cattle raisers cooperate in
preventing offers to the market re-
gardless Of demand, BY regulating
consisnments and dealing directly
with the packers and butchsrs.

GERMANY HAS
LOST FIGHT IN
RUHR, REPORT
Declared at End of Her String
in Passive Resistance Pol
icy Against French
MAY SEEK FOR PEACE
Likely to Take Initiative To-
ward Proposing Official
Discussions
(By the Associated Press.)

Berlin, Sept. 5.-Germany has ar
rived at the end of tether so far as
her further ability to finance passive
resistance is concerned. This is tht
current impression in banking circles
which expect Germany in the next
few days to take the initiative
toward proposing that official dis
cussions be begun with the French
and Belgian governments.
That the Ruhr and the Rhineland
fight has been lost by the govern
ment and the army of German re-
sisters is also tacitly admitted liz
political circles, although the press
has not yet discussed the situation
with which the government is con-
fronted. It is believed, however,
that the German editors have been
informed by Chancellor Stresemani.
that the government would seek to
force solution Of the Ruhr conflict
in the near future.
The situation in the occupied
areas also is steadily becoming worse
; both in respect to economic condi-
tions and the temper of the resisters
who no longer are able to maintain
the solidarity necessary for a united
front.
