Today, Thursday, Last
Day for Old Auto Tags
New 1882 Plates Must BE on Car
April First-Law Provides
Double Penalties

March 81 is the last day 1881 auto
license plates may be used in MIN
nesota. Those who have received
their new plates and have not put
them on should do so before Friday
Those who have not obtained their
1882 plates should do so at once, or
quit operating their car or truck
until it is properly licensed, a
highway bulletin advises.
The law provides separate pen
aIties for delayed registration and
for operating a motor vehicle WITH
out proper license. Persons US
ing cars without proper license are
subject to arrest, fine or imprison-
ment. Using plates issued for an
other car, forging or altering
plates, carries more severe penal
ties. Highway patrolmen, city po-
lice and other peace officers are
Jointly charged with the duty of en-
forcing the law against operation
of motor vehicle without proper II
cense.
The penalty for delayed registra-
ton started with rs cents a day for
four days beginning Feb. 16, after
which it is 81 a month until II
reaches SIS. Laying up the car will
not cancel or lessen the tax or the
penalty for delayed registration
Unless a car was junked before
Jan. 1, the 1882 tax and penalty
must evntuaily be paid, but the cal
owner who cannot pay it now car
put up his car and thereby avoid
the penalty for driving without
proper license.

pleted, but partial checking Of the

erage lower than last year.
Bids will be taken later on a, num-
Der Of additional new treatment
projects. The department plans
to treat all gravel roads which
are graded and in condition for
treatment and which are not
scheduled for paving in the near
future. In a few cases where traffic
is heavy, light treatment will be
applied on routes which are on the
paving program for the next year
or two, as means of carrying traf-
fic until the new grade is settled.
Under the method of bituminous
gravel treatment used in Minneso-
ia, a retreatment is nearly always
required year after the first treat
ment. After this treatment may be
omitted every third year, but this
rotation varies somewhat with the
traffic and the condition of the
subgrade. The average cost of
new treatments in 1881 was $1,307
per mile, using an average of 1400
gallons per mile and treating 80
feet wide. The average cost of re-
treatments was $761. The depart
ment believes that over a period of
year the cost of bituminous treat
ment and maintenance on roads
with medium heavy traffic will be
less than the cost of maintaining
and frequent regraveling of un-
treated gravel roads under the same
traffic conditions, and give better
service.

bids were taken on new treatment

Debts On Minnesota Farm
Show Interesting Statistics
Mortgages In Southwestern Part
of State Average $7,621, Is
e. G. JOhnsOn's Report

Five hundred two Minnesota
farmers, 431 of them owners Of
farms and seventy-one tenants,
have furnished economists of the
Department of Agriculture of the
University of Minnesota with facts
about the present credit problems
of Minnesota farmers.
These have been summarized in a
bulletin, Agricultural Credit in
Minnesota" prepared by E. G.
johnson, of the division of agricul-
tural economics, and w. L. Cavert,
economist of the division OF agrl-
cultural extension. The reports
show that the average mortgage
debt of those reporting mortgages
in Northwestern Minnesota is &c.
1877; in southwestern Minnesota,
$9,718; and in southeastern Min
nesota, $7,621. The total average
indebtedness in these three sections
however is larger-among owners
in Northwestern Minnesota, $7O43;
in Southwestern Minnesota, $10,335;
and in southeastern Minnesota, ST.
327, an average for the $50 owners
reporting of $9,165. The average
for tenant farmers is $1,759.
Many of the mortgages on Min
nesota farms, says the bulletin, are
the result of borrowing during the
period of imitation, 1920. "At that
time" continues the bulletin,
prices were high and incomes were
much larger than at present, and 1t
was not so difficult to pay interest
on mortgages. In recent years the
mortgage debt on most farms has
not decreased, but farm incomes
because of falling prices have de-
clined materially. AS a result in
terest payments are much greater
burden than formerly. 1t we ng-
IRE interest at five and one-half
per cent on $S,S74, the average debt
per mortgaged farm, we arrive at
an annual interest payment OF
s4S8. When wheat was $1.5O per.
bushel it took only 1926 bushels to
paw this amount of interest, but
when wheat was fifty cents it took
976 bushels"
Forty-four per cent of the farm
ers reporting said that they had re-
auested credit within a year, ap-
proximately from July, 1880, to Jul
ly, 1881. Seventy-two per cent OF
those asking for credit had recelv-
cd all of the credit asked; nine per
cent, a part; and nineteen per cent.
none. Conditions, however, seemed
to differ for different parts OF the
state. In northwestern Minnesota
fifty per cent received all of the
credit asked; in southwestern
Minnesota, seventy per cent and IN
southeastern Minnesota, eighty-one
per cent. -.
In general, the bulletin has this
to saw of the situation: "The farm
err who can present a strong n
nancial statement and who Is a
good moral risk, in most cases can
borrow from banks for farm oper-
alton purposes on personal notes
without security, but If a farmer Is
not in this fortunate condition.
hanks usually demand specific Sc
curitv or make no loan. The usual
security is a chattel mortgage.
Farmers heavily in debt, who can
not give security, find it impossible
to borrow from banks under pres
emit conditions. The ruling inter
est rate on all loans except hrst
mortgages is eight per cent, al.
though a few banks indicated that
some farmers who were good risks
could borrow at seven per cent.

people were given an opportunity
to express themselves on the de-

the income tax was favored by a
majority of 113,547 votes. These

FATHER OF film
STAR PROUD OF
SONS SUCCESS

BUCHANAN, N. D., May 5.-(U.P)
William H. Gable, a truck gard
.ener, assumed a new Importance in
his neighbors eyes when they
learned recently that he was the
father of Clark Gable, movie star.
The elder mans career, his
friends learned, has been as inter-
esting as that of his son. For 30
years he followed the exciting pro-
fession of an oil driller. He has
sunk wells in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
West Virginia, Indiana, Texas and
Oklahoma. During 1927 and 1928
he drilled in the famous Seminole
field, in Oklahoma.
After he had lost money in sew
eral oil well ventures, he retired
and came to North Dakota in the
summer of 1923. He settled near
Buchanan, where he raises garden
truck.
The senior Gable has a splendid
physique, strong as an OK, but Is
quite hard of hearing. He seldom
goes to town, but is great reader
Friends claimed that the deter
mined mouths of both the father
and son give them a decided re-
Semblance.
The elder Gable will talk freely
of his son, but prefers not to say
anything for publication.
