automobile thieves, if not to stop
their activities altogether
| 1t has been generally accepted by
automobile insurers and manufac-
| turers that if it were made difficult
| to dispose of the stolen goods, car
| thieves who in 1924 got away with
| so per cent more cars than in 1928,
would be put hard up against it..
| This is precisely what is accomplish
/ ed by the system introduced by
|. Chrysler.
The plan involves the use Of the
Fedco patented theft prevention
numbering system, exclusive on
Chrysler cars. 1t consists Of a SER
ial number plate attached to the in
strument board Of each car, made
and fitted in such a way that it can
! absolutely not be changed or re-
moved without detection. The ease
with which stolen cars could previ-
, ously be turned into money was the
most helpful factor to the car thief
and only II per cent. of all stolen
| cars last year were recovered. The
Chrysler system stops conversion at
the source, so to say.
"The numbering system for theft
prevention is a model for the indus
try as a whole. Chrysler leadership,
so often evidenced in the develop
ment Of motor car improvements,
, has perhaps never been better DEM
onstrated than through the an
nouncement of this exclusive theft
prevention SYSTEM says J. e. Fields,
vice-president in charge of sales of
the Chrysler Sales Corporation. 81

"This new plate, which is now
placed on the instrument board Of
all Chrysler cars where it is easily
visible for inspection, is made Of
nickel and copper, by a secret pro-
cess, and is anchored in place in
such way that any attempt at its
unlawful removal will result in de-
Placement.

1t is said to be more difficult to
counterfeit than money.
THE savings to owners instituted
by Chrysler through the adoption of
the numbering system form a par
ticular further achievement for
Chrysler owners, just as the opera

Farmers Sell Only
Enough Grain to
Meet Pressing Needs

Failure of North Dakota farmers
to market their grain promptly is
causing them to defer payment of
their current obligations to the Bank
Of North Dakota. {. A. Green, manag-
er, said in a statement here yester-
day.
Indications are that farmers are
marketing only enough of the crop
to meet pressing needs, Green said
and are holding off on paying other
obligations until they feel they can
sell to the best advantage. He has
no doubt. he said, that there will be
money available to pay notes which
most Of the farmers have coming due
November i. Heavy deposits of 8
temporary nature are presenting {
problem to bankers, he said, and they
are investing these surplus funds in
high-grade securities on which they
can realize quickly when demand is
made for the money rather than put
the money out in long time loca
loans and. thereby run the risk Of
freezing their assets.
General business conditions during
September showed little change

CREAM BUYERS
ARE WARNED TO
OBEY THE LAW
Cream Cannot BE Handled in
a Room Where Other Bust
ness Is Carried On

Warning to all cream station oper-
ators that they must strictly observe
the law which requires that cream
be handled in Il separate room from
other business has been issued by
John A. HUSKY, head of the dairy d.
vision of the state agricultural de
partment.
In circular letter sent out today
HUSKY pointed out that the law IS
being violated in many parts OF the
state but that all stations violating
the law will be closed if the situation
is not remcdicd by March !.
I'VE want to give every cream sta
ton operator plenty Of time IN
which to clean up his place but 1T
must be done and the sooner the
better" said HUSKY. Some cream
station operators are selling shoes in
the same room in which they handle
cream. Others arc selling foodstuffs
and some even want to handle gas
oline and oil in the same room.
Law Benefits Consumer
"The law requiring cream TO be
handled in separate rooms was passed
for the benefit of the consumer and
to protect him against impure cream
in which the impurities are caused
by bad handling methods. We have
been reluctant to adopt severe meas
ures if the law Is not observed. Pre-
vious warnings have been ignored in
some cases but this is the last warn
ing"
Handling Of cream in cans which
had been used by farmers as con-
tainers for gasoline and kerosene was
condemned in another circular sent
out by HUSKY today. He advised
cream station operators to warn
every farmer against continuing this
practice and in case of continued
violation of the order to refuse to
accept the cream for shipment to the
creamery.
Must Use Clean Cans
1T is impossible TO use these cans
for handling cream when they have
once been filled with gasoline or kcr-
osene,' HUSKY said. THE cream ac-
quires faint or odor and it is i'm
possible to make edible butter from.
it. This type of cHam also is an
almost total loss to the creameries.
Cream and butterfat is food
product and consequently must be
handled in the most clean and san
itary way. If farmers do not heed
the warning in this respect this de-
partment may have to take some
drastic step in the matter. We will
go the limit in protecting the public
in the matter of sanitary food prod
ucts."
Department Will Assist
In cases where the cream station
operator is in doubt as to what to do
HUSKY asked them to call his depart
ment which he pledged to furnish
prompt assistance in settling any
difficulties.

STATE BANKS
CANNOT QUIT,
RULING SAYS
Law Provides But Two Ways
For Involuntary Dissolu-
ton of Banks

State banks cannot casually close
their books and quit business, the
attorney generals office ruled today
in an opinion handed down at the
request of Gilbert Semingson, state
bank examiner.
The text Of the opinion follows:
The Text
"Under date of the End inst. you
have asked this office for its opin-
ion upon the question of whether
or not you would be within your
rights in asking that the charter Of
a bank be quoted title to, where a
bank has discontinued accepting de-
posits, paid off all its deposits, and
discontinued business as far as your
office is concerned, the bank con-
tinuing merely for the purpose of
permitting its officers to satisfy
mortgages and make transfers.
1--WE have found only two provi-
sicns of law providing for the in
voluntary dissolution of banking cor
porations when the same has once
ness. The first is under the Insol
vency Law with which you are fully
familiar. and the other under Sec
ton 5l78, Compiled Laws 1918, un-
der which last section it is provided
that franchise for banking cor
poration shall be forfeited when
such corporation refuses or neglects
for period of ninety days to COM
ply with any requirements lawfully
made upon it by the State Banking
Board or the State Examiner. or for
a lesser period if specified in the
order.
May Forfeit Franchise
"If, therefore, this corporation is
insolvent for any reason, or fails
for a period of ninety days to COM
ply with the lawful order of the
Banking Board or the State Examin
er. its franchise may be forfeited and
its business wound up"

Railroad Cannot
Be Required to
Build Cement Walk

Cement sidewalks bring no profit
to Il railroad and public service cor
porations cannot be required to build
them for the convenience of the pub
lie, the state railroad board has held
in connection with a case in which
citizens of Fredonia were plaintiffs.
The contention of Fredonia cit
liens was that they had to walk in
the mud to reach the 500 line depot,
so they asked the railroad board to
direct the railroad to construct a
cement sidewalk from the depot to
the public sidewalk
In refusing to order such couStruc-
ton the railroad board pointed out
that railroads are in the transpor-
tatlon business for profit and are re-
CURED to give service to the public
but that to specify the type of side
walk was beyond their jurisdiction
especially in view of the fact that
construction of sidewalk would be an
expense to the railroad from which it
could not expect any revenue. In
rejecting the application. however
the railroad board directed the 500
line to repair the present board side
walk or replace it with new one To
solve the Fredonia mud problem.
Other Decisions
Other decisions announced by the
railroad board were: sustained the
petition of the. township board of
Clement township, Dickey county, to
force the 500 line to relocate a cross
ing near Cakes on the ground that
the present crossing is unneccssar-
lily dangerous: dism Used the com
plant Of citizens of Clyde against the
Great Northern railroad in which
they asked that the railroad be forced
to put in a loading chute and stock
yard at that place. The railroad me,

state board; approved reduction in
the electric lighting rate to be
charged at Garrison by the Central
Light and Power Company of Wash

idents Of Rutland asked that the

water supply for the stock yard al
that place. The railroad has agreed
to meet the demand.

Winter Mileage
Is Worth Most


"The longest miles that people 20
are those on wet and wintry days."
says F.. ID. Rose of the Lair Motor
Sales Co. "And that makes it true
that your trusty car gives you a
bigger measure of value in the win
ter than at any other season.
1.-The man who drives doesn't care a
lot whether it's raining, showing,
blowing, or freezing. He just gets
into his car and goes to office,
theatre. or social affairs without re-
gard for the weather, or the distance,
or the time.
And it's lot more fun to look
through the windows of sedan or
coupe than to expose yourself to the
mercy of the elements, whether you're
going only a few blocks or to the
other end of town."

10 New Mess Halls
to Be Built at
Devils Lake Camp

Construction of 10 additional mess
halls at the national guard camp at
Devils Lake, contract for which was
step in giving North Dakota one Of
the best national guard camps in
the country, Adjutant General G. A.
Fraser said here today.
Construction of the messhalls,
which are a combined messhall and
kitchen, will be the last Improvement
to be made at the camp this year.
Other notable improvements already
made in 1925 include the construc-
ton Of a complete and adequate sew
err system, the installation of an ex-
cellent water system and electric
lighting service and officers bath
houses and latrines.
Items on the program for next
year are the construction of bath
houses and latrincs for the enlisted
men, an administration building and
a warehouse.
When these are completed, Fraser
said, North Dakota's camp will be
the finest in the country with the
exception of the camp at American
Lake, Washington.
Buildings OF Tile
All of the buildings at the camp
are of hollow tile construction and
substantially built and additional
buildings will be of same type, re-
ducing the outlay for maintenance
and repairs to the minimum, Fraser
said. All of the Improvements at
the camp are being financed by the
national guard, an efficient unit of
the national defense. and did not
cost the state Of North Dakota a
penny.
While at Camp Perry, O.. recently
with the North Dakota rifle team,
Fraser talked with national guard
executives from other states and
outlined to them plans for the North
Dakota improvements. Since his re.
turn the adjutants general of New
York, Pennsylvania and Nebraska
have asked for copies of the plans
and specifications for the new mess
halls at Devils Lake

'LANGDONITES
DON sum
T0STATE FARM
Cooperation Makes 1t Possible
to Continue Enter
prise

Cooneration of the citizens of Lang.
don has made it possible for the
state board of administration to con.
tinue operation Of the state expert
mental farm there as a part Of the
states efforts TO promote agricul-
tural enterprise, a statement by Jo-
soph Kitchen. commissioner Of ag-
riculturc and labor and a member
Of the state board, shows.
At a conference recently Langdon
citizens agreed to contribute ST.
600 to aid in majntaing the station
which the board had considered clos
ing because of a reduction by the
legislature in the appropriations for
sub station work.
The Langdon station is one of five
operated by the state in connection
with the state experimental farm at
the North Dakota Agricultural col
legc and its operations are directed
from that point although general
supervision is had by the board of
adm I'M stratIon.
Experimental Work
The Langdon plant has been con-
Quoting valuable experiments on the
determination Of certain weed pests
and the pasturing Of sheep. In or
der to carry on this work it has
leased adjoining land on which are
rrofuse areas of quack grass, SOW
thistle. Canadian thistle and other
weeds which are fast encroaching on
the titled soil in that section Of the
state. where the weed problem is de-
clared to be acute. The Langdon
station also is maioring in dairy
stock, Kitchen reported.
"The latest acquisition to the sta
ton improvements is a splendid
dairy barn that was completed last
year." his report said. "There is a
great field for JUS. such work as is
being carried on at Langdon."
Valuable Property
Property at the station is valued
at $45.O0O. 1t is located on a quar-
ter section Of land and consists of
residence. good barns. silo. wind
mill. sheds and other structures.
Other substations operated by the
state are located at Edgeley, Het-
finger, Dickinson and Mcleod.
The Williston sub-station. which
was a by-product Of the Federal ir-
rigation project at that place, may
be abandoned and a decision on that
point by the board of administration
will be made in the near future.
The irrigation project was abandon
cd because of the difficulty Of pump
ing muddy water from the Missouri
river and the filling Of the irriga.
ton bitches with muddy sediment.

Attractive Time
Payment Plan

Dodge Brother RS, says NJ. B. Gilman,
has announced greatly reduced
Time Payment Plan on all their cars.
With this reduced plan, interest
charges are figured on only the un.
paid balance, instead of on the full
price of the car, as in most Time
Payment Plans. 1t is apparent that
q purchaser should not be compelled
to pay on the amount of cash which
he pays down on car, so with this
new arrangement the buyer pays his
carrying charges on only the amount
he carries on time.
As a definite illustration-take a
Dodge Brothers Sedan. It used to
cost the purchaser over $107.OO in
carrying charges Il he wished t. take
ae wear 1.d to ps 4, d X ,ia d ri:

Overland Sets
New Production.
Shipment Record

Faced with the greatest dealer de-
mand it has ever experienced, the
Willys-Overland factory is entering
the fall months with production and
shipment records that break all
marks in the history of the company.
More than $4,000 Overland and
WHY'S knight automobiles were
manufactured by WHY'S Overland in
the period from January to Sep
TENDER 49, thereby establishing a new
production mark greater than any
production record established by the
company for similar period. Not
only did production records of
WHY'S Overland soar over any ever
established, but shipment records at
the why's Overland factory indi.
cate that the pressing demand from
the national dealer organization alb
sorbed production just as fast as
cars could be built.
Sets New Mark
In addition to breaking the eight
and one-half months production and
shipment records of the company,
WHY'S Overland established new
mark IN shipment for a fifteen day
period when more than 10000 cars
were SHIppeu 10 uedleTS lnTOuKnOuL
the country from September l to Is
inclusive. with the production mark
during the same period greatly in
excess of any schedule ever before
established.
Dealer reports at the Willys-Over.
land factory indicate that a steady
increase has been noted in sales since
January /, with an added impetus
given to retail sales following the
general price reduction announced
three months ago, closely followed
by still further reduction in price
on the Overland Standard sedan
from $685. to $685., establishing a
record low price on full-sized, five
passenger sedan with sliding gear
transmission.
Will Break All Records
Factory production schedules, plus
dealers future orders now on hand,
indicate that WHY'S Overland will
break all production and sales rec
ords for Fall months. To care for
the greatly increased demand for
WHY'S Overland products, President
John n. WHY'S recently announced a
comprehe 2sive plant expansion pro-
gram which will greatly increase both
production and employment in the
factory through an expenditure of
more than S2O00,O00 in new build
ings and machine equipment.
