AUTO OWNERS !.
APPEALED TO
BY REGISTRAR
Fer Their Own Protection
They Should Report Lii
ccnse Law ViClatOrs

Automobile owners and garage
owners Of the state can be of great
aid TO this department in enforcing
the state motor vehicle license law,
Fred Il. fnstad, state registrar, said
today.
Appealing for their help in bring
ing in, all persons who have not yet
obtained a 1926 license, Ingstad
pointed out that there are two main
items to be considered.
The first, he said, is that OF safe
ty and protection for those who have
complied with the law. If such mo-
florists are involved in an accident
with 4 car bearing an old license or
no license at all they often find it
difficult to trace the owner of the
other car. In such case they may
suffer damage Simply BECAUSE the
offender was not forced TO comply
with the law, Ingstad said.
Money Needed For Reads
The second consideration, he said,
involves the ability of the state to
build good roads. Half the motor,
license fees go to the state and the
other half TO the counties. IF lO,-
OC0 cars are permitted to cvade pay
ing the license fee it means approx
mately 100000 which is owed to the
state and the counties but which is
rot collected" Instad said. In that
case the counties lose $4,000 which
might BE- used in road improvement
and the state loses $4,000 of rev.
cnuc. Since the federal government
would match the states $4,000 with
d similar amount it means that $780,
coo is Topped off the states finances
for new road construction.
Registrations still are being re-
ccivrd at the rate of $50 a day, the
total number issued to date being al
most li4,G0O. The total rcgjstrati ion
for last year Mas $4,000.
To Divide 100000
Indications are, lngstad said, that
tho amount to be divided equally be-
tween the state and the counties on
July | will total about S600,000, Of
which the counties will receive half
and the state half. This figure will
bring the total for the year thus far
TO $1,i35,oV.
Within a short time, Ingstad said,
police chiefs of Grand Forks and
Minot will have at their command
data on about $4,000 automobile reg
istrations. More will be furnished
them at the rate of 200 Il day.
These cities have been estimated
information centers at which data on
registered automobiles may be OBJ
tanned.

credited with owning one Of the fine
collections Of the world.
And Henry b. Culver, famed attor-
ney, knows more about ship models
than >erhaps any man in America.
The wall paper on his mansion in
the upper fortics shows an Armada
cruising ceillngward, Yet he has
never been to sea in his lite any
more than have his associates who
build rcpllcas Of fine old sailing Graf /

days when adventure called young
sters to squarc-rlggcd ships headed
for round the Horn.
In Culver's bathtub sails the replica
of fine old New England whaler

of an English man-of-w war Of the
Jacobean period This is but 20
inches long, but years Of study were
necessary TO duplicate the intricate
rigging.

Beef Cattle Train

Fifty-fivc thousand people. incluc-
lag more than half the beef cattle
producers Of the state attended
the As meetings held during the past
three weeks in North Dakota in con
nection with the Better Beef Cattle
special train.
The train was operated by the
Northern Pacific, 500 and Great
Northern railways in cooperation
with the North Dakota Livestock
breeders association and the North

wrong kinds of stock to raise. Rep
resentatlvc purebred animals were
furnished by North Dakota breeders
and market grades and classes Of
livestock were furnished by the AR
niour packing plant and the North
Dakota Agricultural college.
The purebrcd Shorthorn bull was
from the Ely Aylor farm at Mayvile,
and the COW and heifer were from

herd near Lakota. The purebrcd
Aberdeen Angus bull was from the
Eastgate Bros. herd at Larimorc, the
Angus cow from the f. Franklin
farm at Emerado, and the heifer from
the Hartley stock farm at Page.
The value OF quality production
was striningly illustrated by the ex-
hibits representing market grades and
classes. Everything was shown from
Gamer COWS and interior steers to
the prime animals. Two black steers
furnished a wonderful example of
the profit in using good breeding
. and feeding methods. One was a
scrub, over three years old, and worth
less than $50; the other was pure
bred steer raised at the Agricultural
college. year and a half old, and
worth $50 on the block.
