recovered, ono Of which was thought
to b hers, but authorities never were
satisfied with its Identification.
In IN investigation parts Of an .un-
determined number Of bodies were
found about the farm and investi-
gators said Mrs. Guinness had at
tracted q score Of men through adj
vertisements, married them, obtained
possession Of their money and then
killed them.
Some hold the view that the body

Discover Burberry
Close to Cavalier

Cavalier, N. D., Aug. 2.--(AP)-
Tracing a heavy local infection of
black stem rust to it's source, Harry
U%kkelberg, rust expert with the bar
berry eradication campaign, today
located common barberry bushes on
the James lobe farm, two miles
south Of Cavalier.
Despite the dense underbrush of
the farmstead grove in which the
bushes were growing they carried a
heavy infection of black stem rust
that had spread to neighboring
fields. Those who have inspected the
spread declared there is no doubt but
that the bushes are responsible for
the heavy rust in the immediate To-
cality.
According to lobe, who farmstead-
ed the place, no bushes of any kind
have ever been planted in the grove.
Ukkelberg stated that these are
comparatively young bushes that
have undoubtedly grown from seeds
that birds carried years ago from
%barberries elsewhere in the commun-
ity.
Thi. find recalls others made in re-
cent years when agents with the
campaign have traced rust directly
to it's source and located the Offend
ing barberry bushes, host plant to
black rust spores. Such was the case
last year when bushes were located
in Oliver county, near Washburn,
and again in Grand Forks county
near Reynolds.

He assembled friends in a lunch

ORDER STILL STANDS
GROUNDING PLANES
Local Filters Unable to Start
Friendly Action to Test
Power OF State

Arrangements for a test to deter.
mine the power of the State Railroad
commission to bar operation Of the
majority of the airplanes calling
this their home seems to have fallen
through and the places still are
grounded at the Fort Lincoln field.
It had been planned to make the test
in a friendly suit between the State
and Andrew Chandler, one Of the
filters.
The action in grounding the planes
was taken a week ago at the instance
Of Commissioner Fay Harding, the
board asserting. The basis for
grounding the planes was absence of
a government license. As the planes
have wooden fuselages, no license
can be obtained. All, however, have
Identification numbers, and under
federal law it is said they can fly il
they have these.
The state law, however, does not
recognize the mere number as a basis
Of flying. It insists that planes must
have government licenses. As the
filters are unable to obtain these, they
are tied up by serving of the State
Railroad commissions notices to keep
out Of the air.
The same action applies in other
airports of the state. The only fliers
here who able to fly are F. M. Rob-
erts, F. B. Irvine-one plane-and
Harry Potter.
The pilots of the airport here are
very much agitated over the order,
as not all Of them can afford the ex-
pense of a costly plane. They re-
gard the action as very much of a
blow to aviation in the state.
