Budgets.
Due to early date of annual meet
ing (June 27) the school officers
books will not be able to show any
of the net income tax aids due, or
any of the other state aids earned this
past school year. Furthermore, the
first half of the tax settlement will
not show up, as it is sent out to the

Compare your state aids, etc.,
earned during the past year, with your

your true status. Most districts will
show good gains. State aids earned
for 1938-39 are due and payable in
October, November and December,

at least 'break even" each year.

Sales of Cars Affected
by NelD LaD Say Dealers

Local car dealers have been calling
the attention of the public to the new
state law passed at the last session of
the legislature which provides that any
one bringing a second hand car into
the state for sale or resale except as a
trade in on a better vehicle must with
in ten days buy license and also be-
fore putting the car out for sale must
execute bond for the purpose of paying
any possible damage suffered by the
purchaser.
According to the law as passed and
printed in the columns of this paper last
week, the highway department Is max
ing it a point to get after the business
of highjacking cars, removing the same
to another place and selling the vehicle
to some gullible purchaser who is left to
hold the sack when the stolen car is
discovered. With the registration of
the vehicle it will not be so easy to
dispose of contraband cars.

Steel Drop Arrested
Levels Off at 1920.

According to Magazine Steel, national
steel ingot production leveled off last
week at 40 per cent of capacity after
five successive weekly declines. The
national rate year ago was 81 per cent.
Arrest of the decline does not pro-
vide hope for reversal in trend, how
ever, the publication cautioned. 1t said
the letdown during the remainder of
the spring probably will be gradual.
The paralysis in coal mining opera
tons had little noticeable effect on
steel making during April, but pig iron
production dropped IL per cent from
March as % blast furnace stacks were
shut down, most of them banked. Steel
plants generally are removed several
weeks from any fuel scarcity which
might curtail production.

newal states that five licenses were not

He called attention to the dry law in
the county which prohibits the sale OF
hard liquor anywhere in the county out
side of the city of Two Harbors where
local option prevails and where liquor
store was voted IN by the people.
All 80 licenses will be forfeited in al
cases where federal hard liquor license
has been purchased. The 80 license:
