MANY IRRIGATION
PROJECTS DROPPED
Of 147 Water Rights Taken Out
Only ~ Plans Have Been
Carried to Finish

Many residents of North Dakota
are not carrying into effect ideas
which they once entertained about ir-
rigation, according to State Engineer
Robert E. Kennedy, who recently
completed a check of the records Of
his office.
Of lat water rights which have been
recorded since 1905, only II projects
have been carried to completion. Elev-
en- of these were for industrial use and
six for irrigation. OF the water rights
issued "a were for industrial use and
lib for irrigation.
OF Is licenses to use water, 10 were
for industrial purposes and five for
irrigation.
Fifty answers were received from
a QUESTIONABLE sent out by Kennedy
to the 113 persons who obtained the
irrigation permits. OF these, % re-
ported that they had completed their
projects and q said they had not
completed them. Eight Of the prof
ects irrigated in 1923 and AZ did not.
The eight projects totaled 638 acres
OF these. four said they had practiced
irrigation every season since the prof.
Gets were launched.
Some replies contained comments
on the reason why irrigation had
failed. Six reported that their dams
had been washed away and five said
there was too much rainfall.

LAHR MOTOR SALES
COMPANY TO CLOSE
BISMARCK BUSINESS
Changed Policy Of WiIlys.ov Over.
land Causes Loss Of $4,000
Monthly Payroll to City

The Lahr Motor Sales company will
be discontinued in Bismarck. That Is
the announcement made by w. E.
Lahr. president of the company. on
his return yesterday from the Pacific
coast, where he has been for several
days investigating some business OPP
portunities.
His decision to close out, he said.
had been made necessary by the
changed policy Of the Willys-O Overland
company. THE company" he said,
has changed its sales policy from that
of distributor to that of direct dealer,
and will eliminate all Willys-O Overland
distributors in the United States.
It has also separated the Whippet and
WHY'S Knight lines. The Whippct
dealer. according to the policy, cannot
handle Willys-K knights.
This left only a small operation
here in Bismarck, which did not in
terest me. I am going to liquidate my
holdings as rapidly as possible, and
locate in of the larger cities. I
shall continue, however. in the auto
mobile business. Just. where I shall
locate I do not know. but it will be
where the company will have an OPP
portunity to expand into . larger OPP
Grafton than at present."
Several members Of the Lahr Motor
Sales organization will accompany Mr..
Lahr to his new location. he said.
Mr.. Lahr started selling WHY'S
Overland cars In 1909, and signed his
first distributor contract in 1913. He
has distributed of Willys-O Overland cars
out of Bismarck for the last II years,
and has distributed them from Minot
for the last five years.
The company has sold its warehouse
to the Barker Bakery company. which
will take possession Sept. l. The Lair
company owns the building at the
corner OF Fourth and Thayer which,
except for the show rooms and office,
is occupied by Montgomery Ward &
Co. It will continue ownership OF the
building. but will rent the show room
and offices.
Through the liquidation of the Lair
Motor Sales company Bismarck will
lose a "a. 000-a-month payroll and q
distributing company which has made
the capital known throughout the
northwest as an automobile center.
Sales Of automobiles through the Lahr
company have continually grown until
In 1928 they amounted to 2,155 cars,
with q value of 81, TOO, 600. This total
Of business has been made possible.
MI. Lahr said, through a progressive
advertising and sales policy. which
has helped develop Bismarck into .
widely known trading center.

AT THE MOVIES
CAPITAL

!. Richard Dix's first all-talking pic
ture, Nothing But the TRUTH" is
undoubtedly one of his best. And
that is saying something, because the
handsome young Paramount star has
made more than thirty films.
At the Capitol Theatre yesterday
jubilant audiences looked at and
listened to his artistic acting and
indicated by their frequent bursts of
laughter that they consider him a
great favorite Of the audible silver
sheet.
Nothing But the Truth" is that
favorite Of farce successes rcvamped
for the screen and refurbishcd with
newer and better comedy situations
and adequate trimming Of music,
singing and dancing.
Dix plays the part Of the young
man who makes a wager that he can
tell nothing but the truth for "a
consecutive hours. He wins the bet
after going through a veritable cir
u of bizarre and u%proarously
amusing situations.
The play is chuck full Of rich hum
or and does not lag for an instant.

Dear Sister Sue:
Last night We had one of those real
snappy North Dakota nights. Woke
up in the middle of the night and
found that Moe EinStein, who is in
tent, had borrowed my blankets.
Moe halls from the south end of
South Dakota, and he isn't as used to
these nights as I am. Moe said he
must have been walking in his sleep.
He sure jumped in 1t when I dumped
my canteen on his head and grabbed
my blankets back. He is a funny
little duck. His leggins won't stay

The prosperity Of diversified farm

sented to the Lions club luncheon.
Monday. by D. E. Shipley. who used
several Of the towns along the south
ern boundary Of the state as illustra-
ton. The monthly cream check has
become the big sou to these com
munities and the crop situation has
made that fact impressive this sum-
mer.
Travelling over the state for tho
regulatory department. Mr.. Ship!cy
comes rather closely in contact with
the commercial life of the various
farming community ccntcrs. He has
observed the short wheat crop and
the total failure Of rye in some places.
Last week he spent in the territory
that has been hit so hard by black
rust. and he made a study of condi-
tions for the benefit OF Bismarck
business men. who are interested, as
those communities are In the city's
trading area.
These people are not shedding
tears" said Mr.. Shipley, las a re-
suit OF the inroads to the rust in the
meagre crops. Some OF them will get
no. over five bushels OF wheat to the
acre. AS a misfortune. they arc part
" discounting that. They have some
thing else to fall back on.
What they can depend on Is the
cream check" said Mr.. Shipley. "As
q result OF going into diversified
farming. the farms In the rust e
ton all have dairy cattle. They have
also taken up other phases OF diver
sified farming, as sheep and wool.
Out Of the proceeds OF these they arc
sitting better than the tales OF hard
luck in grain crops would lead others
to suspect.
Cream Income $4,000 So Far
Mr.. Shipley said he and Senator
P. T.. Kretschmar, the president OF
the State bank at Ventura, discussed
the situation when he was in that
town last week.
we are not shedding any tears
over the poor crops. disappointing

Kretschmar told him. I'VE have our

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIV

The weekend in New York consti-
tuted two days Of wretchedness. Molly
had expected praise and encourage
ment from Jack. And she received in
stead disparagement and censure. He
disapproved strongly Of her work.
He was jealousy resentful OF Red
Flynn, and hated, he admitted, the
ways Of all newspaper men.
"Why don't you write something
worth while, Molly?" he pleaded.
"What would you suggest" she
had inquired, frigidly polite.
But Jack was vague. "Oh, some
thing NICE" he floundered. "You used
to write sweet little verses. And l
bet you could write pretty stories for
children. Then there r al the high
class magazines. My gosh, Molly, you
don't have to write for such . scream
ing newspaper"
"But / want to earn money, Jack"

"Sh! Honey. we're both going to

In the morning Molly went directly
from the train to the courthouse. As
she approached the building she was
conscious of q curious atmosphere of
suppressed excitement. Plain clothes

while others, in uniform, kept Curl
