a few times. He carefully lowered
the hood, walked around to the front j
of the car, and gave the crank a
mighty turn. There was a grinding
of gears, and Mr. Gove stood in amaz-

try at catching the run-away auto,
but he was too late. There was a
crash, and the car stood sputtering,
smashed against the side of a newly
constructed home, where the following day a hole in the foundation and
smashed clap-boards remained as silent evidence of the episode. The offending auto stood parked, a little
bent and dented, a half block away.

MORE SOIL CONSERVATION CHECKS
ARE RECEIVED
About 250 of the second installment of 1936 Soil Conservation checks
were received by Fern C. Nelson,
Treasurer of the Cass County Agricultural Conservation Association.The
checks range from a few cents to
about twenty dollars.
These checks will be sent out in
check-window envelopes containing a
receipt form which should be signed
and dropped in the mail.
The first checks received early
this winter were for 90 per cent of
the total payment leaving 10 per cent
for administrative expenses. Since
the expenses were less than 10 per
cent, a second check was issued for
the applicant's share of the remaining funds.
SECOND   HEADLIGHT  SCHOOL
TO  BE  HELD  FROM  JUNE 7-9
A second short course for official
headlight adjusters will open on June
7, to continue through June 9, at
Dunwoody Institute in Minneaapolis,
according to an announcement by
John P. Arnoldy, chief of the Highway patrol. Because the first school,
which opened May 17, was unable to
care for the large number of students
who came from all parts of the state, the second school was ordered. Allen Johnson of Dunwoody, who conducted the first school, will also be
in charge of the second. Garage men
and others who desire to become official headlight adjusters, are urged
to attend.
