Drunken Driving
Penalties Sever
The severity of the penalty of the
ch'unkert driver's law is apparently
not understood by many of our
motor vehicle operators, according
to E. ~L Klein. chief of the State
Highway Patrol.
'~Being convicted on a charge of
driving a motor vehicle while un-
der the influence of intoxicating li-
quor may mear~ a fine from $25 to
$500 a~i a jail sentence for a per-
iod of one year. Besides, the Law
makes it mandatory that the judge
suspends the driver's license for a
period of rot less than 30 days nor
more thart two years," Klein
states
However. before a driver can a-
gain operate a motor vehicle, it is
necessary that he furnisl~ proof of
"financial responsibility" is not an
easy matter. As a matter of fact,
quite a few North Dakotans are
barred from operating cars because
of their inability to meet the strict
requirements imposed.
Proof of financial responsibility
may be obtained. Klein explains, as
follows: Either by proof that a pol-
icy or policies of liability insurance
have been obtained and are in
force and effect or that a bond has
been executed or that deposit has
been made of money or securities
in an amount of $10.000 for bodily
injury to or death of two or more
persons in any one accident, and
for damage to property in the a-
mount of $1.000.
This proof of naneial responsi-
bility must be kept in force for a
period of three years if the person
convicted wishes to operate a mo-
tor vehicle, Klein states.

Author of this interesting piece
on harvesting in Italy is Technical
Sergeant George Olson of Watford
City, former employee of the Bank
of North Dakota An Bismarck.
Sergeant Olson, who was in the
service before Pearl Harbor, had
been released and was recalled to
active duty at the time of the Jap
attack.
Stationed now in Italy with an
American fighter plane squadron,
Sergeant Olson found time off from
his arduous duties to observe con-
ditions in occupied Italy and wriSe
home the accompanying entertain-
ing account of threshing practices
in what used to be called Sunny
Italy.
By T/Sgt. George Olson
For the past several weeks they
have been threshing at this farm
and as the rig is~set up practically
in our front yard I have had am-
ple time and opportunity to see how
the Italian peasant handles the
threshing of his crops. It reminds
me a bit of the old steam-rig my
Dad used to operate in the twen-
ties. The fundamentals are the
same. but the methods, and ap-
pearance of the ~achinery is as
different as night and day.
A steam engine furnishes the
power. Rather a "dinky" 'job, it's
a far m-y from the old Buffalo Pitts
and other American types that
were so common on midwest farms
just a few years ago. The bigges~
thing about it is the smoke-stack
which towers to a height of about
twenty feet. The stack is hinged
at the bottom so it can be folded
down while traveling over the
roads,
Towed by Oxen
These engines are not self-pro-
pelled and are towed by oxen, or
gasoline tractors, from one set to
piston I would judge that they de-
velope about 15 horsepower. Their
firebox is too small to generate
enough heat to keep a full head
of steam, so they dig a pit and
brick up an oven under the rear
half of the boiler. They m~st oper-
ate on a very low pressure as thee
whistle is a small squeal t~ the bel-
low the old North Dakota used to
emit in their heyday.
The rig is set a few yards ~h'om
the well and the enffu~eer rolls
over the needed water in 50 gal-
Ion drums. It would seem like
pretty small stuff to one of our old
tank-drivers, who sometimes had
to go several miles for suitable
water. These engines are small, high
centered and look like a caricature
of our steamers.
The engine is set about thirty
feet from the separator. A Small
drive, belt is used, about four in.
ches wide, and it runs straight, not
crossed as most of ours are run.
8elmxator A Puzzle
At first sight the separator bar-
ties one. You don't know just what
it is supposed to be. Made of wood,
it's just a long box with a few
belts and pulley on it. The feeder
is a separate part and there are no
band cutter& A couple of women
stand where the bundles are un-
loaded on the ground and take off
the twine and save it. (Some grain
is still cut with the old cradle and
that of course is bound with straw.'
One end of the feeder rests on the
ground and the other on the top of
the machine feeding into the cen-
ter of the separator. There is no
return or elevator and I haven't ex.
stained the seive set-up.
The threshed grain comes out of
a very shoat spout in the left front
of the machine. SeVeral

kernels and ~ransport the grain

I have seen no granaries on any
of the farms here and there are no
elevators towering up to mark each
town as there aro in North Dako-
ta. Most likely the sacked grain is
stored in warehouses as I have seen
no facilities whatsoever for hand-
ling bulk grain.
There is no blower on the sepa-
~'ator. the straw is moved a short
distance from the machine by a de-
vice similar to the feeder, a chain
conveyor about 12 feet long. A
crew of men keep busy pitching the
straw out so other men can get it
it and shove it over to the stack.
To do this they have a horse hitch-
ed to a short plank, about five feet
long, with a vertical handle in thg
center to hold the timber down on
the ground and shove the straw a-
head of it to the desired place.
Here, another crew of men pitch
it into a canvas square and tie the
corners making a fair sized bundle
that must weigh around 60 or 70
pounds. Other- men pick these
bundles up, carry them up ladders,
and dump the straw on top of the
stack. Another crew stacks it. They
really build some huge stacks too
