losses can be avoided by little at
tention to your flocks at the right
time according to Max McMillin

No Jail Here Says
''Strange As Seems

Various newspapers carrying the
featured Strange AS 1t Seems"
by John Hix, showed a cartoon
of church with its bell ringing
out notes of cheer and morality
with the notation: There is no Jail
in Askov, Mimi; they never needed
one"
True enough! "But if we could
get our hands on the pesky thieves
who prowl and break into business
places occasionally, we would glad
ly build Jail for them," said some
citizens here Wednesday morning.
The latest object of their wrath
came again on the night of dance,
when two business places, Paul
sens Standard Station and Sebald
Motor Sales, were broken into and
burglarized. A strange coincidence
is the fact that the last time rob-
berries were committed here, was
also on the night of a dance.
Tires and money were taken in
the Tuesday night raid.

County Awarded
Share OF State
Aid For Relief
Allocated $22,587 to Help
Pay Direct Relief Costs
During Fiscal Year.

Pine county's ALLEGATION of state
funds for direct relief aid for the
second year of the biennium is $22,-
SGT of which amount $1,000 is from
the deficiency appropriation passed
by the recent session of the legisla-
ture, according to an announcement
made in ST. Paul this week by Alfred
w. Luecke, state relief administrator
The ALLEGATION was made by the
State Executive Council, composed Of
Governor Harold E. Stassen, Secre-
tary of State Mike Holm, State Audi
tor Stafford King, State Treasurer
Julius Schmahl and Attorney General
j. A. A. Burnquist, after the legisla-
ture had passed the deficiency RELIEF
appropriation.
The ALLEGATION was recommended
by Mr.. Luecke to the Council, after
he had made a detailed study of the
financial structure of all counties
in the state. Factors considered were

had been worked out, Mr. Luecke
called conference of representative
county auditors from all parts of the
state to 60 over the tabulations. After
two-day study of the data, the
county auditors approved the alloca.
tons.
''The amount of state money avail
able for direct relief is somewhat
below that in 1885," said Mr.. Luecke
"and it has been necessary to make
ALLEGATIONS on the basis of actual need
and taking into consideration all the
factors affecting the general relief
picture"
This is the last of state funds thai
will be allocated by the Executive
Council. Hereafter, this duty will
fall on the Emergency Legislative
Committee, created by the new state
reorganization law.

Sunday Ban On
Trucking May 80
Railroad and Warehouse
Commission Must En-
force Act as Safety Plan.

Commencing Memorial day, May
80, and continuing until the second
Sunday in September, Sunday ano
holiday trucking restrictions, as pro-
vided in Chapter 431, Session Laws
of 1927, will again be effective, Chas
Mum, chairman of the Minnesota
Railroad and Warehouse Commission
announced today.
"This law" Mr.. Mum explained
"was designed to promote public safe
ty on the highways by restricting
truck traffic in the metropolitan areas
from a. m. until IL midnight on
Sundays and legal holidays during
the season of heaviest tourist move
ment, from Decoration day, May 80
to the second Sunday in September
"The law provides that CONNER
cial trucks, tractors, truck-tractors
trailerS and semi-trailerS must not
be operated on public highways with
in 35 miles of cities of the first class
during designated hours on Sundays
and legal holidays coming within the
restricted summer period. Exempted
from the provisions of the law, how
ever, are those vehicles engaged in
transporting newspapers, non-intoxi-
eating beverages, dairy products, ice,
fresh bakery goods and other perish
able products. Class T motor vehi-
cles FUSED exclusively by farmers for
Transporting their own commodities
and supplies) and commercial vehi-
cles of one ton or less, as well as mo-
tor vehicles transporting livestock,
are also granted exemption from the
Sunday and holiday trucking BAN"
After observing enforcement of the
act for two years, Mr.. Mum said he
wishes to compliment the carriers
on the fine cooperation they have
given the Commission in carrying out
its provisions.
"Any inconvenience the trucking
industry may suffer as a result of
this public safety measure" he stated,
"will certainly be more than offset
by the public good will it creates
toward the motor carriers of the state.
81 am confident the great majority
of carriers will view the regulation
in this light, and will continue to
with the Commission in
the Sunday trucking law,
as they have in the past"

Bandit, Pistol in Bag,
Robs Maryland Store

Drawing a revolver from a paper
bag, a bandit forced his way into
the business Office of the c. G.
Murphy Co.'S flve-and-ten cent
store at Silver Spring, Md, last
night, stole $85 and escaped in a car
driven by an accomplice, Montgom-
cry County police reported today.
H. P. Plantholt, assistant manager
Of the store, located at 8237 Georgia
avenue, told police he was sitting in
the Office of the manager when the
holdup man appeared outside a
locked gate separating the office
from the store proper.
The bandit pulled the gun from
the bag, ordered Mr.. Plantholt to
admit him to the enclosure. Mr..
Plantholt instructed the head
cashier, Miss Anna Strouse, to un-
lock the gate and admit the bandit,
police said.
While a number of customers were
making purchases, unaware that a
holdup was in progress, the man
scooped up $85 from the desk where
Mr. Plantholt was seated and backed
away, still covering the assistant
manager and cashier with the re-
volver
He then turned and strode quickly
to a side entrance, pushing one
customer out of his way as he
walked to the door and hoped in
the waiting automobile.
Police were told the bandit was
white and between 80 and IS years
of age. No description of the driver
of the getaway car was obtained.

6. ". j. 10 Take Part
In Training Program
For Civilian Pilots
81 Colleges Added to
List Include ; in
Maryland and Virginia

George Washington University
was among 54 new colleges and uni
versities which will participate in
the civilian pilot training program
of the Civil Aeronautics Authority,
1t was announced today
The list also includes Loyola Col
lege, Baltimore; western Maryland
College, Westminster and Hampden-
Sydney College, Hampden-Sydn
Va.
The University of Maryland at
College Park was designated last
Monday.
Today's list brings the total to
22o. Approximately 80 will be added
later.
The program calls for training
approximately 1000 civilian pilots
during the coming school year.
The students at the local colleges,
whose applications for pilot training
have been approved and who are
found to be physically qualified, will
be enrolled at once for course of 70
hours of ground-school instruction
and between IS and so hours of
flight instruction at a nearby air
port by an operator selected by the
school, subject to approval of the
Authority.
The Civil Aeronautics Authority
has not yet been advised either by
the University of Maryland or George
Washington University of the flight
instructor selected to administer
their training programs. 1t is prob
able that the University of Maryland
students will be given their flight
training at College Park Airport, the
worlds oldest flying field in point
of continuous operation. Established
as the first military flying field in
1909, it is now devoted largely to
private activities.
The local colleges have not yet an
nounced the fee to be charged par
ticipating students. Under regula-
tions of the c. A. A. the maximum
is $40. The Authority will pay the
college $40 per student for ground
school instruction and the operator
of the flying school from $270 to $500
per student for the fight training.

Citizens Call Meetinq
On Flood Protest

Citizens in the vicinity of Ark
ansas avenue and Delafield street
NV. will meet tomorrow night in
an effort to spur official action in
preventing recurrence of floods In
the area.
Earlier this month waters rose to
nearly IL feet deep in some places,
following one of the heaviest down.
pours in the history of the city.
Residents were routed from first
floors and nearly every cellar was
completely flooded.
Hugh v. Keiser of 1907 Arkansas
avenue NV, chief organizer of the
movement, said similar flood condi-
tions prevail after every heavy
storm. Mr.. Keiser said large 20
foot sewer, run through Arkansas
avenue several years ago, failed to
remedy the condition because abut-
ting sewers were not made CORE
spondingly large. Mr.. Keiser said
the water merely backs up in the
large sewer and will not flow away.
More than 200 residents of the
area have been invited to attend
the meeting, which is to be held at
Mr.. Keiser's home. Tentative plans
call for possible formation of
citizens association to represent the
flood area.
According to Mr.. Keiser, a body
of delegates would be elected from
the association to meet with the
proper authorities and determine
on remedying measures to prevent
recurrence of floods in the area.
Other items which may be dis
cussed tomorrow night include traf-
fic lights, Thirteenth street bus
service and upkeep of the small
park at Arkansas avenue and Della
field street. The meeting has been
called for 8:15 o'clock.

Dafoe May Retire
Reconsideration

TORONTO-Government circles
intimated that DR.. Allan Roy Da-
foe will retire from the Dionne
quintuplets' board of guardians
early next year, but will remain
as the gums physician.
Judge J. A. Vain, North Bay

If both DIR. Dafoe and Judge
Vain step out of the board, only
Papa Olivia Dionne and Percy Will
son, official guardian for Ontario,
will be in charge of the famed

Major reason for DR.. Dafoe's de-
sire to retire was believed involved
in the question of his right to make
private contracts as a result OF
his association with the quins
while an official guardian.
