Standard Varieties
Of Grain Recom-'

As the seeding season approaches,
and a large number of farm meetings
are being held at which varieties of
grain suitable for seeding are being
discttssed, B. E. Groom of the G. N.
I). A. says that the grainmen and
cr~psmen who are best posted on
varieties and returns, declare that
for general farm plantings only stan-
dard varieties should be used.
Vast sums of money are annually
~rpended on experiment stations, and
these stations, in charge of experts
should try out the new varieties. As
varieties tested indicate outstanding

Mark Gilman To
Open Shoe Shop
Mark Gilman returned to Beach on
Tuesday afternoon and is now busy
preparing his new electric shoe shop
for business. Mark has studied the
shoe repairing business for some time
at Devils Lake, and recently went
back for about three weeks or so to
polish up on some of the details of the
business.
His shop will be located in the base-
ment of the postoffice building and
during the past few days there has
been installing some fine new equip-
ment there. The machines installed
are all new, and of the latest type,
so that the very best work can be []
turned out on them Included in the
• |
equipment is a stitcher, a finisher, and []
an electric cementing machine.
Mark plans to open his shop on i m
Saturday, April 1st, if possible. Watch
for further details in next week's issue I|

AN APPEAL
As spring approaches we wish to put in a good word for
the city park and request the cooperation of everybody,
young and old, in caring for it. A year ago the entire com-
munity enjoyed the grass and the fine display of tulips
early in tl~e summer, followed by petunias that blossomed
until frost. The gardens also received many compliments
from strangers who passed through town.
During the coming season we have hopes of a much
better park. If it continues to be treated as a playground,
however, it will not be better. The grass is not well enough
established to stand having games played on it, or paths
made across it, even when the snow, is on the ground. The
trees are not large and strong enough not to be hurt when
Commissioners
Oppose Election
At the regular meeting of the board
of county commissioners last week

ternoon after school.
As usual at this time of the year
Beaver Creek is on the rampage, and
old and young gather to watch th~
huge ice cakes go rushing by. Among
those watching were Dean Lawrence,
Leon Thrams and Carrol Delthorpe,
three little pals from the fourth
grade. The first two were sitting or~
the bank north of the bridge, while
the latter was standing back of them.
The water had washed under the bank
and the weight of the boys broke it
off, causing the two to fall into the
raging stream. Leon miraculously was
saved by clinging to an ice cake until
one of the Balr boys rescued him,
but Dean was carried away by the
swift current, and although all with-
in human power has been done, up to
this time his body has not been re-
covered.
Dean was the youngest son of Mr.
and Mrs. Don Lawrence and was born
in October 1929, on a farm southeast
of town. His parents recently opened
a bakery in town and Dean was a
pupil in the local grade school where
he was loved by all.
Besides his parents his parents he

JOHN ROBINSON CLUB
The John Robinson Club met Mon-
day evening at the Congregational
chUrch parlors. A large number of the
~embers were present. Some very in-
teresting topics were worked out for
fUtUre meetings.
After the business meeting l~v. W.
A. Smith led the discussion entitled
'~iercy Killings." The group was di-
Vided in its decision. Many were
against it because of the Command-
~ent, "Thou Shalt Not Kill," while
~thers said if it was God's will to
mete out punishment in the form of
l~curable sickness it was not~ for we
~C~tals to decide. Those for said if

loan program to which the Commodity
Credit Corporation acquires title will
be purchased by the Federal Surplus
Comodities Corporation for disposal in
connection with its wheat export pro-
gram except in small quantities which
may be diverted into domestic chan-
nels for relief purposes. This, it was
stated, will provide the Commodity
Credit corporation with an outlet for
all wheat acquired by it under the
1938 wheat loan program.
The resealing program, by enabling
farmers to hold wheat from last year's
crop over until next season, carries
out in part the objectives of the Ever-I
Normal Granary for wheat. • i
Farmers renewing their loans will[
r~eeive 5 ce~ts a bushel storage l~I
in the event the wheat is turned overI
to the Commodity Credit Corporation l
tat the maturity of the note. This feel
l is similar to the ~ cents which will
be credited to the borrower's account
for storing the wheat thru the initial
loan period.
Because of the necessity for con-
solidating the holdings of commercial-
ly stored wheat to avoid congestion
and make way for a new crop, the r'e-
seall~ff program covers only wheat
now In farm storage.
