Are You Raising Yonr own Crop {?

When you get irritated at the flying
insect pests that annoy you when you sit
on your porch, or that get into your sleep
ing quarters and keep you awake with
their buzzing and singing, when you slap,
slap, slap without any relief, don't blame
the neighbors or the people in the next
camp-if you happen to be camping-just
look around to see if you are not raising
your own crop of mosquitoes. If you are.
you will find it worth while to follow the
advice of Dr. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health. Here it is:
1.-THE best way to get rid Of mosquitoes.
is to get rid Of their breeding places. Every
empty tin can that has accumulated an
inch or so of water, and that has been left
on the rubbish heapis a potential breeding
place. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water.
but they are not at all particular as to the
size of their breeding places. Anything
that holds water and that is left in the
back yard or on the rubbish heap at the
camp. answers the purpose. Old auto tires.
empty barrels, buckets, jars and cans are
| in this class. tF Hsi.
Some mosquitoes are long lived but
fortunately the average life of most OF them
is about two weeks. so there is hope of
relief if the breeding places are gotten rid
of. Community action is necessary for
mass effOrt-for such measures as draining
swamps, oiling streams or stocking ponds
and streams with minnows that eat the |
mosquito larvae. But when it comes to the |
rubbish heap. each family or group OF
campers has to wage its own warfare.
THE county health officers and the rep
resentatives of the Bureau OF Sanitary
Engineering when making sanitary inspec-
lions of the recreation and touring camps
throughout the State. are often asked to
locate the source of the clouds of mosqui-
toes that appear from time to time to the
great discomfort of the campers. Very
often their search leads to a neglected
refuse heap Uttered with discarded cans
and other receptacles holding mosquito
larvae.
Mosquitoes are able fly about half a
mile from their breeding places, under their
own power, but high winds will carry them
much farther. Trains. boats and automo-
biles furnish free transportation for them.
Accordingly, householders. campers and
wayside pcnicers will be performing a
public service and will add greatly to the
comfort of their neighbors. far and near,
by disposing of their discarded jars. tin
cans and other water-holding receptacles
in such way that they do not serve as
breeding places for these winged pests"

Automobile Tag Missing?
Then Get a New Pair
Prompt Application for 1881 Plates
VIII Save Cost Of Duplicate;
Fasten Securely

Due to the activities Of the Min
nesota Highway patrol, there are
probably fewer cars with one plate
missing this year than Is ordinarily
the case. Nevertheless, we see one
or more such cars every day.
Instead of paying $500 for dup
licate plates, as motorists are re-
quired to do If they lose a license
plate at other times of the year, all
the car owner with one 1880 plate
has to do now is to get his 1881
plates at the regular price. But
he should get the new plates inn
mediately, says a Highway bulletin.
If he continues driving with one
plate, he is inviting ticket from a
traffic officer.
+. Car owners who make applica-
ton for plates now will get them
without delay. Those who wait un-
til the rush period near Feb. Is, the
final date fore payment Of the tax
without penalty, may have to wait
several weeks before they get their
new tages.
Car owners are urged to fasten
their plates securely. This will pre-
vent their being lost, and will dis
courage theft. It will save the cost
of duplicate plates, as well as the
embarrassment Of getting a ticket
for driving with one plate.

Attempted HoAap Is
Bad for Gun Artists
Two Men Brandishing Reviewers
Threaten Westport Farmer
Drove Them Into Ditch

On last Monday evening when
e. R. Hesse, Westport farmer,
was on his way home, he was
accosted by two strangers, who
for a time threatened to make
things interesting for him.
Mr.. Hesse, whose wife is in
the Long Hospital, left the city
at about nine o'clock. He was
driving along on Highway No.
%, near the old +. e. Minette
farm, when he saw two men in
the road. Both Of the men had
revolvers in their hand and
were waving for him to stop.
Mr.. Hesse did not care to lose
his car and hence began TO
think Of some plan to frus-
trate the thugs. He slowed the
car up and when almost to
the men gave the car a sud-
den swerve and stepped o n the
gas. He showed the two thugs
into ditch and continued on
his way home with more than
ordinary speed.
Mr.. Hesse lives on the Nor
ris farm south Of Westport,
and is well known in this COM
munity. He says he did not
relish being held up and the
idea Of humping the men into
the ditch was given to hin.
sometime before by a friend,
and he found it worked very
satisfactory.

Trunk Routes Garry Big
Farm to Market Traffic
Live Stock Trucked to Packing
Center Increases A Per Cent
In Year

That trunk highways are import
ant "farm-to-market" roads is con-
firmed by the figures on live stock
trucked into South st. Paul termin-
al in 1880. The total number of ami
mails brought direct over the high
ways from the farm to the stock
yards was 1905 900, as against 908,-
513 in 1929, a A per cent increase.
This not only established a new
high record but the increase was
larger than in any previous year.
The number Of truck loads
reaching the terminal in 1880 was
104, 300 compared to 1892 in 1929,
an increase of Is per cent. The
average number of animals per
load was 12.5 in 1880 and 1913 in
1929. AS highways have improved,
the size Of loads has increased. In
1923, the first year records Of truck
loads were published, there were
FOG, 120 animals brought in by 81
800 truck. In rough figures, the
number Of loads has increased
fourfold in seven years, and the
number of animals has increased
more than six fold.
The 1908 truck receipts included
100, 600 cattle, 254, 300 calves, 733, 200
hogs and $500 sheep. Open win
ter roads pernitte6 the fafm-tu-
market trucking to continue all
year without interruption. Average
truck receipts were larger in JAN
uary, February, March, November
and December, than in the other
seven months.
Live stock is only one of many
farm products hauled in large
quantities over the trunk highways.
While all roads are "farm-to-mar-
ket" roads, the trunk routes carry
a much heavier tonnage Of farm
products per mile than any other
roads in the state.

GEO. O'GARA SELLS
GARAGE BUSINESS
Pioneer Automobile Dealer
Retires After II Years of
Active Service
TO REMAIN IN CITY
Son, Dewey, and Mike Wer-
mig to Carry on at Oak and
Third Street Stand

Wednesday Of last week, one of
Sank Centres pioneer automobile
dealers, sold his interest in the
OGara Garage, corner of Main and
Third street, to w. D. dewey
O'Gara and Mike Wernig. The
new firm will be known as the
O'Gara Motor Company.
This sale came as a complete sur
prise to most of the people Of the
community. Mr.. O'Gara entered
the auto field in 1913 with AL G.
Salmond, conducting business un-
der the firm name Of Salmond &
OGara- In the late fall and early
winter Of 1874 they erected the
Palmer House Garage now occupied
by the Maus Bros. Motor Com
pany.
In 1919 Mr.. O'Gara purchased
the building corner Of Third and
Oak and rebuilt it into modern
garage and filling station. In 1913
he became the distributor for this
territory for the products Of the
Pure Oil Company. The O'Gara
Garage has Of late years been the
selling agents Of this comm. unity
for Willys-Knight and Chrysler
cars. The new firm will continue
to distribute the Pure Oils and
WHY'S and Chrysler cars.
Mr.. O'Gara retains ownership of
the building and also the filling
station and the miniature golf
course on South Main. He will
spend some time cleaning up the
business Of the old firm but in the
early spring he will devote his
time to the filling station, golf
course and the restaurant at the
Great Northern depot which he has
operated since 1903.
The new firm should be an ex
ceptionally strong one. Both are
wide awake young business men
The active management Of the
O'Gara Motor Company will be in
the hands Of Dewey who has been
associated with his father since
1919. Mr.. Wernig will continue to
give his active attention to the in
terest Of the Pioneer Ice Cream
