PLAN
FOR TAGS D. KID

Manufacture Of the Districts
1928 automobile license tags at
occoQuan win be recommended to
the District Commissioners by Capt.
NJ, NJ. Barnard, superintendent Of
the Workhouse, and the committee
appointed by the Commissioners to
study the proposition, It was learned
today
Captain Barnard ana James v.
Bennett, investigator Of the Bureau
Of Efficiency, both members of the
committee, spent yesterday in Balti-
more inspecting the Maryland State
Penitentiary's license plate manu-
featuring plant.
Captain Barnard called on Com.
missioner Proctor l.. Dougherty to-
day and reported that he believes
license plates could be made at the
workhouse for about cents q pair
whereas the contract cost averages
about IA cents.
The 1927 tags are costing the Dis.
trict Tx cents pair and the manu-
facturer Is said to be losing money
on the contract.
Captain Barnard said today that
1t would cost about $4,000 to buy
the machinery needed for making
the tags, but that 1t would be pos,
sible to get secondhand machinery
from some Of the Government de.
partments for about $4,000.
The proposition to manufacture
the tags in the workhouse arose out
of the delay in delivery OF the 1897
tags. Only a few thousand have.
arrived to date and 1t will probably
be- several weeks before distribution
begins.

Organization Starts
Soon In Montana

Grand Forks, No. Oak, June Ia.
Announcement that organiza-
ton work of the North Dakota
Wheat Growers Association in
Montana would be begun in the
northeastern part of the state dur
ing the present week, was made
by Geo. E. Duis, president of the
association, in a statement issued
today.
AS was announced some time
ago, articles of Incorporation were
filed in Montana recently, and
considerable support of the pro-
ject has been received from vari-
Gus Montana sources. Several or
ganization men will be placed in
the Montana field at once in or
der that as large a membership
as possible may be secured prior
to the delivery Of the 1926 wheat
crop.
"Since North Dakota and Mon
tana together yield the highest
protein wheat in the United
States" said Mr.. Duis, sit is only
logical that this wheat should be
most profitably handled through
the same channels in order to OBJ
tain the best premium prices for
the quality product" This is the
reason for the entry of the North
Dakota Wheat Growers Associa-
ton into Montana at this time.

nouncing at spelling bees, and
squinted over when watching for
bad boys pranks, at least IS years
ago, when he was a Hoosler
School Master.
Compared to the size they are
made now the lenses are small,
in the neighborhood of an inch by
three-quarters of an inch, with
the corners slightly rounded.
rims, and brass sliding bows
made to extend when worn or
shorten when fitted into a small

real sport, when hickory sprouts
were a part of the school program,
and the teacher got ten dollars a
month and boarded round, free.
