Kardelj represents a key spot

Kardelj arrived with a state

coincide with the opening of the

Stranger BOrrOws
Car To Speed His
CaShing Of Checks

A check artist cashed two checks
of $50 each at local stores late
Wednesday afternoon last week,
appropriated an automobile for a
short ride and was apprehended at
a bus station by Officer Charles
Woods. Although he had collected
about $50 cash in his work of an
hour or so, he had only $40 on
him when he was arrested.
His first operation was at a
store on First street where he
talked convincingly of a painting
job for which he needed more
paint. He made his purchases and
offered a check for $50, which
was accepted. The paint came to
SO and he received SAL cash. He
said he had to go to another store
to buy a screen door and would
leave the paint until he returned.
Going outside, he climbed into
an automobile parked at the curb.
The key was in the ignition switch.
He drove to a grocery store on
West Main street where he bought
about $40 worth of foods of var-
ious kinds and again offered a
$50 check. 1t was accepted and
he took the difference in cash. As
he had to make other purchases
elsewhere he would leave the gro
ceries until later.
The grocery store operator be-
came suspicious. He telephoned
to the Billings bank on which the
check was drawn and was informed
the bank did not have a customer

BEET PAYMENT IS
SET FOR NOV. 20
Checks To Includ Final
Amount For AS Crop
Sugar Content Good

Denver, Nov. 16.-The Great
Western Sugar company will pay
approximately $23,650,OOO Nov. 20
to beet growers in Colorado, Ne
braska, Wyoming and Montana,
the second largest payment made
by the company at one time in 10
years, according to Frank A.
Kemp, president. Of this total
about $2,380,000 is final payment
for 1913 beets and more than $751;
100000 is the first payment on
approximately SO per cent of the
1949 crop which was delivered
through Nov. 4. Beet growers will
receive separate checks for the re-
spective payments, which will be
mailed from the company factories
Nov. 20. .
Kemp said that final payment
for the 1913 crop in Colorado aver
ages $1.22 per ton; for Nebraska
and Wheatland, Wyo., $1.14; and
for Billings, Mont, and Lowell,
Wyo., $1.59. Total return to
farmers for the 1913 crop in Great
Western territory was approx
mately $22,9OO,OOO.
Sugar content and yields per
acre are higher this year." Kemp
said. The first payment on 1919
beets will average $9.45 per ton
III the Colorado district, 1902 in
the Nebraska heatland districts,
and a flat payment of 1920 per
ton will be made in the Billings
Lowell area.
Farmers this fall will receive in
the total of the first company pay
ment on 1949 beets and forthcom-
ing Sugar Act payments an aver-
age of $11.97 per ton in Colorado,
$11.44 in the Nebraska Wheatland
area, and $11.79 in the Billings
Lowell district, with additional
company payments to be determin-
ed by sales of sugar over the next
10 months.
Kemp said Everyone is pleased
that the 1949 crop is turning out
well in both yield and sugar con-
tent. In this irrigated area good
beet crops are the normal exporta-
ton and excellent mes are never
surprising. While reduced acreage
this year prevented operation of
all company factories, total sugar
output and total payments to
farmers will materially exceed
those of last year. Indications are
that more beets will be planted
in 1850" I

DISTRICT GOVERNOR
VISITS ROTARY CLUB

The Laurel Rotary club was host
Tuesday to DR.. Sheldon Davis of
Dillon, governor of the Montana
Rotary district who had come to
make an official visit. Monday
evening he conducted a club as.
sembly of officers and committee
cbairmen.
He occupied the program time at
the general meeting Tuesday noon
to review the work of the Rotary
organization throughout the world.
After saying that most of the la
bors of humanity are preceded and
accompanied by extensive discus
sions, such as mark the United
Nations sessions, he observed that
exchange of thought is an essen
tial in the performance of work
and that such exchanges r being
employed in the endeavor to es-
tablish lasting world peace. This
reflects the Rotary attitude that
mountaineering and fellowship
contribute to good will among indi-
viduals and nations.
A part of his address was de-
voted to a description of the Ro-
tary structure and functions. Of
structure, he said there r two
major divisions - assemblies that
are work groups without author
ity to enact legislation, and con-
ventions with voting authority.
The system operates on the vari-
Gus levels-in the local clubs, on
a district basis, and International
w.. The secretariat of Rotary In
ternational, which serves clubs
throughout the world, is located
in Chicago.
Chicago is also the home of Ro-
airy club No. 1, and only one in
the city. New York City has
eight, while London, England, a
large city of comparable size, has
80. The English take the position
that when all the business and pro-
fessional classifications of a club
are occupied, there are still many
men in the community who should
be included but are barred because
all the membership positions have
been filled. They go around the
classification restriction by divid-
