Agricultural cooperation in market.
ing farm produce became a definite,
settled practice IN Denmark about
twenty-five years ago, and at present
1t has the most perfect system OF agri.
cultural cooperation in the world
Denmark is strictly an agricultural
country, densely populated, and limited
in area, and the range of intelligence
taking it through all classes, is per,
haps as high as, IL not higher than
In any other country in the world
Agricultural exports have quadrupled
as direct result of the impetus given
to production by cooperation, and
Danish farmers are now receiving very
much higher prices for their produce
than any of their competitors In for
eign markets.

Omaha, Nov. 23.-The home of FL
mer f.. Thomas, a prominent lawyer
of this city and attorney for the civic
federation, was badly wrecked by a
bomb placed on the front porch at 2
a. m. Mr.. Thomas and his family We're
in the house at the time and he consid-
ers it miraculous that none OF them
were injured.
Mrs. Thomas was awakened about ?
O'Clock by noise on the front porch
and aroused her husband. believing
that burglars were trying to enter the
house. Mr.. Thomas began an investl-
CATION and discovered a fire on the
front porch. He picked up large rug
and attempted to smother the flames,
when terrific explosion occurred.
Although but few feet from the mis-
sile he escaped injury. The front wall
of the house was blown in, doors were
shattered and an immense hole was
torn I'm the ground. The interior OF the
building is a wreck The explosion
was heard for three miles.
A squad of police were on the scene
in a short time, but no clue to the per-
petrators of the deed was found,
Mr.. Thomas believes the attack re-
rulted from his activity In enforcing
the law against violators of the saloon
law and also to his connection with the
Dennison extradition case.
