LAGGARDNESS
OF MOTORISTS
is CRITICIZED
Work of Sending Out Title
Certificates Is Delayed,
Ingstad Says

Failure Of some motorists to COM
ply with all details Of the new law
requiring registration of titles to
motor vehicles is slowing up the
work Of sending out title certificates,
State Registrar Fred B. lngstad said
today.
At present, he said, his department
is Is days behind in the work Of
sending out the certificates and sew
eral clerks are spending their entire
time in sending back to applicants
blanks which lack one or more de-
tails. Ingstad is asking that persons
making application make sure that
all the questions asked on the blanks
are answered in, full and that 'separ-
ate applications are made for motor
vehicle licenses and certificates of
title.
Another point which should not be
overlooked, he said. is that in regis
tering new car It IL necessary to
make application for certificate of
ton is made for motor vehicle Ii
cense. Hundreds of applications for
registration have been returned on
that account, ne said.
Still another factor, Ingstad said,
is that the office space allotted his
department is insufficient to accom-
modate the large number of extra
clerks which would be necessary to
handle the work expeditiously. He
has put on as many as he can crowd
into his office but could use others
if he had space in which they could
work.
At present, he said, he does not
expect to complete the registration
of title work until the first of the
year.

Each Trip Around 1OO-Acre
Field Brings 20 Bushels
of Grain
CUTS so ACRES A DAY

Marking a decid change from
harvesting in previous years is the
combined harvester-thresher now be-
ing used on the Erwin Anderson farm
near Mckenzie.
The machine, one Of the first to
be used in this county, cuts and
threshes the grain ut one time. 1t is
pulled by tractor but has it's own
power unit, so that it is possible to
entirely stop or slow down the trac-
tor and still maintain the same
threshing speed. It is also possible
to cut the grain just as high or low
as is desired.
The machine is being used on a
1OO-acre field Of rye and on each
trip around threshes about 20 bush
els, equivalent to about % bushels
to the acre. 1t will cut approximate
ly 80 acres day and takes swath
90 feet wide on each trip.
Two trucks were kent busy hauling
the grain from the field to the ele-
vator at Mckenzie, County Agent A.
r. Misesen. who visited the farm,
said.
The combine apparently threshed
clean he said. since no rye could be
found coming out with straw and no
heads were found which were not
thoroughly threshed. The machine
leaves the straw in row behind it
and also has attachments SO that the
straw can be spread over the field.

waters Of the Arkansas river poured
through gaps in the levees at Pen

Arkansas City, out from under

pared to carry on if the approaching
flood reached the city. The water
was expected to reach outskirts Of
the town late today. but it was not
believed the city would be flooded.
Desha and Chicot counties are
bearing the brunt Of the present
flood as they are in the area Of the
Pendleton and Medford gaps in the
levee. Approximately 100000 acres
will be inundated. it was estimated,
but the damage will be small as lit
tie Of the tillable land has been re-
planted since the June flood.
Residents of the area nre not ex-

It is q vital matter for DrOuhin,

GRAINS
RUST DAMAGED,
REPORTS.SAY
Bank of North Dakota Field
Agents Reduce Their Yield
Estimates

Although much of the early grain
crop is beyond damage by rust, late
grains will be severely damaged in
many parts Of the state, according
to reports by field agents Of the
Bank of North Dakota, received here
today.
Practically every part of the state
is affected with the heaviest damage
in certain sections of the Red River
valley. Previous weekly reports by
the field agents indicated that rust
was prevalent but that the damage
had been slight.
Reporting from southwestern
North Dakota, C. A. Seamands said.
that Notwithstanding reports and
opinions to the contrary rust has
decreased the quality and yield in
many fields. Some fields that looked
like they would make 20 bushels an
acre or better probably will make
only 10 to Is bushels, he said. One
Of the worst features of the rust sit
uation. he said, is that the straw "is
not going to stand up but few days
after it is ready to be cut" He says
he saw field of oats that had been
let stand few days too long and It
looked. as though, hail storm had
struck it, not over 20 per cent of the
stalks remained standing. A heavy
rain or wind storm would do great
damage, he said. Despite these un-
favorable factors, however, Seamands
estimated the average yield for the
nine southwestern North Dakota
counties as the best in 20 years.

CORPORAL L. f. Zumwinkle, of 'front.'
line experience in the world war, be-
came Commander Zumwinkle today
when the Minnesota American Legior
convention made him department
chief.
Zumwinkle, whose, home is at Fer
gus Falls, as a corporal in the Goth
field artillery participated in the
victorious drives ut St. Mihiel and
the Argonne forest which marked the
turning part in the allies march to
victory.
Nine months after America de-
clared war on Germany, Zumwinkle
enlisted as q private. He was sent
to Fort Monroe, Virginia, for train
ing with the Goth coast artillery in
December, 1917. The following April,
Commander Zumwinkle's outfit went
overseas where it was converted into
the Goth fild artillery and assigned to
front line duty. His regiment helped
lay down the barrage under which the
Yanks battled ahead to undying fame
at st. Mihiel. And It was the deadly
accuracy Of the artillery fire, a.
typified by the Goth, that enabled
the Americans to sweep forward to
one Of the most decisive victories Of
the war.
Commander Zumwinkle has dis
tinguished himself in state Legion
activities, having served first as
post commander at Pelican Rapids,
where he lived until three months
ago, and then as ninth district COM
mander. He was member Of the
state executive committee for two
