Burglar Sunday
Eve Enters Two
Business Places
Sometime Sunday night Beach
experienced a more or less annual
robbery, when the Logan Garag~
and the Occident Elevator were
broken into, with little of value
being obtained at either place.
It is believed that the Logan
Garage was burglarized first, from
where a large sledge hammer and
chisel were obtained. The safe at
the garage was opened by knocking
off the combination, and two
watches and an old fifty-cent
)iece were obtained. One of the
watches has since been recovered,
being found on the corner next to
the local OPA office by Jack IAndt,
Very little information seems to
be obtainable as to the identity
of the burglar or burglars. About
the only authoritative information
available as to the luckless burg-
lar's identity comes from Delo
Logan, who states that "the guy
was tall and must have been
mounted on some darn big feet."
~as uncertain if all could be
matched.
Moses said he favored issuance of
20-year revenue anticipation war-
rants against the one-cent state
gasoline tax for the purpose of
raising matching funds. (The one-
• ~ent state gasoline tax is earmark-
• ed for road construction.
Gov. Moses also conferred with
C. A. Stanton, civil aeronautics
authority administrator, regarding
possible resumption by Mldcontin-
,ent Airlines to Bismarck and Minor
from the present Midcontinent ter-
minus at H.urpn, S. D. Moses said
;he was told the matter could go
before the CAA board "on its
~merits."
In the third conference, this time
with officials of the bureau of
mines, the North Dakota governor
• was informed that construction of
:a lignite coal and sponge iron pro-
~cessing plant at Grand Forks is
being held up by lack of critical
materials. He said, however, that
at the close of that conference he
~vas assured that bureau of mines
officials would attempt to iron out
the problem with the war produc-
tion board.

-GET RID OF FLIES
EARLY IN SEASON
Get rid of flies early in the sea-
son, before they become numerous.
Screens, fly paper, darkening of
barns, traps, sprays, poisons, and
use of swatters around the home
all have a place in fly control, sug-
gests F. Gray Butcher, NDAC Ex-
tension service entomologist. Flies
multiply rapidly, and can carry
diseases of both humans and farm
animals.
Formalin in milk or water, at the
rate of 3 teaspoons of formalin to
.a pint of liquid, placed in shallow
dishes, is an effective fly poison, but
must be kept out of reach of chil-
dren and pets. •
If manure can be spread on fields
regularly and not allowed to ac-
cumulate around barns, it will help
greatly to keep down flies, but if
press of other farm work prevents
regular spreading, stack the man-
ure into straight-sided piles to help
remove fly breeding places. Treat-
lng manure with borax will kill
the fly larvae.

where he testified on the bill before
a senate commerce subcommittee.
"Navigation interests in the lower
river states have been conducting
an intensive lobbying campaign
against the amendment, introduced
by Senator O'Mahoney of Wyo-
ming, but the outlook for irriga-
tion is much improved over what
it was in February," Moses said.
CHICAGO, ILL.--Nominations of this picture as a "good shot"
seem to be in order for it symbolizes one of the most-talked.of events
this year. Photo shows Seweli Avery, multi-millionaire board chair-
man of Montgomery Ward and Co., being ousted from his plant office
after he refused to turn over the books of that company to the gov-
ernment.
We are now certain of consider-
able support from New England ;.,, .,, Graduate From
eastern support, but we are still
faced with the prgblem that ap-
parently there is complete lack of
:undamental information about ir-
rigation among large numbers of
~he senate.
"Senator O'Mahoney (member of
the subcommittee and who is dir-
ecting presenation of testimony by
rrigation interests before the com-
mittee) is making an excellent pre-
sentation in behalf of irrigation
and we are hoping that President
Roosevelt's statement last week that
irrigation must be fully considered
in Missouri river planning will
bring favorable results for our
muse."
The governor said a number of
~he subcommittee membership are
dased in favor of navigation "and
we are therefore fighting a defen-
sive battle to have the rights of
irrigation recognized by committee.
"Because we want to take the
offensive and bring claims of the
upper river states before senate in
an appropriate manner, we are now
attempting to arrange hearings be-
fore the senate irrigation commit-
tee on the bureau of reclamation's
plan for river development," Gov.
Moses said.
Will Assemble
Information on
Labor Situation
Information from farmers in each
county on the extra labor needed to
get in 1944 crops will be assembled
soon by county extension agents in
)reparation for a harvest labor re-
cruitment and placement campaign
by the NDAC Extension service.
According to H. W. Herbison,
supervising the farm labor pro-
gram, a complete picture of the
current farm labor situation will be
built up from the reports made by
each countY. This will include
number of workers needed, where
they are needed and when the help
is wanted. ~
A number of states, including
Missouri, oklahoma, Kansas, Ne-
braska, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Kentucky have offered to recruit
seasonal workers for North Da-
kota's small grain harvest. This re-
cruiting will begin shortly before
harvest when the Extension service
expects to have all necessary data
on North Dakota's r~quirements. If
it appears that enough help cannot
be recruited, the War Department
will be asked to furnish war pris-
oners.
It is estimated the state will
need between 12,000 to 15,000 spec-
ially recruited men for shocking
and threshing, to supplement local
labor resources in the state. Hear-
ings will be held to establish uni-
form wage rates.
Herbison says arrangements have
been made for approximately 1200
Mexicans to work. in sugar beet
areas of the state, with these la-
borers scheduled to appear in June
This number is about 200 short of
estimated needs of beet growers,
and efforts are being continued to
locate additional men. Potato grow-
era axe assured of 600 Jamaican
laborers for harvesting.

Cleanup days are still possible.

Wed at Ceremon)Y
In South Dakota
A double ring ceremony was per-
formed at the post chapel of the
army air base at Sioux Falls, South
Dakota on Wednesday, May 17th,
when Miss Mildred Tobias, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore
Tobias of Beach, became the bride
of Serg-eant Howard Clayton Rob-
bins, son of Earle C. Robbins of
Greenfield, Mass., Chaplain James
A. Supple, officiating.
Attendants of the bride and
groom were Sergeant and Mrs. J. J.
Polian, close friends who are also
living at Sioux Falls, the latter
being a sister of Mrs. Marvin
Tobias of Beach. After" the cere-
mony, a wedding reception was
given in the Embassy room of the
Hotel Carpenter for immediate
friends, the bride's parents being
present for the occasion.
The bride is well known in Beach
where she grew to womanhood and
graduated from the local high
school. Following her high school
graduation she attended a Min-
neapolks business college and the
state teachers' college at Valley
City. Later she was associated as
part owner of the Mildrella Shoppe
in Beach. For the past 18 months,
Mrs. Robbins has been ,serving as
an instructor in Tactical l~'ocedure
at the Army Air Forces Technical
school at Sioux Falls. She received
her training for this at the A. A.

when the Farmers Union Oil Co,
was also broken into. The eleva-
tor was .broken into a year ago,
but the burglar was unlucky, as
nothing was obtained. This year's
burglary at the elevator was more
or less a comedy of errors. The
burglar first broke into the wrong
office, and, finding the door be-
tween the offices locked, he went
outside and broke another window,
this time succeeding in getting at
the vault. The safe, according to
Manager Tobias, has not been lock-
ed for a number of years, and the
burglar either didn't possess intel-
ligence enough to try the handle
before swinging his (or rather,
Delo's) mighty sledge hammer, or
he acldentally locked the safe in
trying to open it. In any case, vir-
tually all he accomplished was
ruining the lock on the safe so
that the management of the ele-
vator had to dig a hole in the con-
crete wall of the vault in order
to open it.
Local police officials were very
reticent about the whole affair, in-
dicating (1) that they are hot on
the trail and want to keep things
under cover, or (2) that they don't
know any more than you or I.
And thus ends the tale of this
year's annual burglary. Watch this
paper next year for the possible
I story of 1945's burglary. Will he
'be successful next year? Will he
bring a pick and shovel, or will he
bring his tried and trusted sledge
hammer and chisel? Will corns
land bunions on those generously
proportioned feet prevent hin, from
perpetrating his annual pilgrimage?
Will his draft board gently pl~lck
him from our midst? Watch for
next year's instal!ment. ~..,
