SAFEBLOWERS MAKE A
BIG HAUL In ST. PAUL

ST. PAUL, Dec. (P).-Fifty thou
sand dollars was the loot obtained
by three youthful safeblowers who
early today blasted open three safes
at Shunemans and Manheims depart
ment store after working for four
hours. Police, in an underworld
roundup, took six suspects into Gus
tody for questioning, but expressed
the belief that the cracksmen, whom
they styled experts, probably had
escaped with their loot $S5,000. III
cash and $4,000 in bonds.
Entering the store through fourth
story window srom the roof of an
other building, the robbers captured
two watchmen, handcuffed one Of
the two to an iron support post and
forced the other to accompany them
about the building hourly to register
his calls on the burglar alarm boxes.
Between times, the robbers poured
charges of nitro -glycerin in the safe
doors, with ga hypodermic needle, the
watchman told the police, and then
muffled the explosion with blankets.
mattresses and other materials from
the store stocks.
Six charges were exploded before
the robbers succeeded in opening the
safes, but so methodically and quiet
ly did they work that late theater-
goers in the down town district heard
no sound of the blast.

Grain GrOws In Solid
Lime Formation Without
Water; Exhibited Here

Alfred Paul, owner ard manager Of
the lime kilns and quarry situated
about 10 miles from Douglas, just south
of the Bisbee- Douglas highway, mas
brought in to the Douglas chamber
of commerce offices two unusual
specimens of growing grain. The
grain came to the lime mining town
in freight cars and was swept from
the cars onto solid lime formation
where, without water it took root,
grew and headed out.
Paul dug up two masses Of the
grain, which is an unusually vivid
and healthy looking green color with
well developed heads, and brought
the exhibits to the cnamber of com
merce offices where they are yet
growing in cans in the windows still
surrounded by lime rock which
Paul states is more than 80 per
cent pure lime.
Az Pauls Quarry there is gor-
geous rose garden and other shrub
berry and trees and green grass.
Paul states that there is black
alkali in the city water of Douglas
which tends to kili grass and flow
ers as planted on lawns here and
that wonderful results may be OBJ
tanned by the use of hydrated lime
which not only neutralizes the alkali
but fertilizes the soil at the same
time.

refused to leave her fathers home.
His only conversation with his son
after that time about the girl, Albert

SUPERVISORS SELL A
$4,000 BOND ISSUE

Bonds to the value of $4,000 were
sold by the Cochise county board OF
supervisors at their regular meeting
Monday to the Valley Bank of Phoe-
nix. These bonds are known as the
Marcus school district bonds and the
proceeds of the sale will go to the
erection of a school building in the
community of st. David. John B. Hart,
member of the board from the Douglas
district, said last evening that the
bidding for the bonds was close and
it took nearly two hours of figuring by
the board ito arrive at a conclusion as
to which bidder should receive the
bonds
Sale of real estate for back taxes
was competed by the board during
the Monday session and the checks
which have been in the hands of of
ficials for some months in payment
for the lands were audited and the
deals were officially sanctioned. Most
of the land auctioned off for back
taxes was found to have been purchased
by the owners whose delinquency in
tax matters had caused the sale in the
first place.
The tax sales and the school bond
transaction occupied the entire day and
the supervisors were unable to get at
any of their regular work, SO will have
another meeting today and probably
another short session on Wednesday. h

N. P. ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN Brings
IN $1,000 INQUIRIES ABOUT MONTANA

HELENA. - Thirty-five Thousand
inquiries have been received IN the
last year By the Northern Pacific
railroad from prospective settlers all
eve the world, as a result Of the ad-
veTtising campaign conducted By the
Montana transportation companies.
Many Of these people are interested in
the opportunities for owning. a farm
home in Montana.
As a means Of assisting in the
campaign circular letters are being
sent to all prospective settlers. The
letters + written by A. II. Bowman,
Montana's commissioner Of agricul-
lure and read in part as follows:
'The state department Of agricul-
ture viii be glad to give you informa-
ton bearing on Montana agriculture,
climate, land values-any kind Of In
formation that will help you get the

DDS, help you get acquainted, and aid
you to get started right. We want
you to take advantage Of the free
services Of this department.
"The pioneer stage is over and
proven farming methods have been
established in Montana. Farmers are
rapidly demonstrating to other states
the high termination, hardness and
superior yielding qualities Of Montana
seed. Seed corn, wheat, oats, alfalfa,
potatoes r in increasing demand in
eastern and southern states, bringing
us premium prices. Marketing asso-
citations are we'll organized to grade
and market standard seed which as

operative creameries are handling
livestock and dairy products. Over
100000 pounds of Montana turkeys
were placed on the eastern markets
in 1924 by cooperative associations at
a substantial profit to the farmer.
Turkeys from this state have estab-
lished a reputation for quality on the
Chicago markets and are in demand.
I'VE would like to tell you more of
the way Montana farmers have met
the drop in farm prices. Cheaper pro-
duction costs and quality products
bringing premium prices have enabled
them to produce at a profit and build
permanent homes. These are u ma

cause they indicate not onlv the i'm

also the increasing volume of farm
products going to western mrkets.
The shift in marketing is significant
because Pacific coast cities are. closer
than eastern markets and Montana
producers get the benefit Of lower
