Third Degree T0fSBaFmers.
The questions which+the,government
agents are about to put to'the farmers
Of the country suggest that they
might be income tax dodgers, but the
man behind the numerous interroga-
ton points is merely the census taker.
The list Of questions announced in a
preliminary bulletin distributed from
Washington is long and exhaustive.
It shows that farmers must tell the
number Of acres in each farm, the
amount Of arabic land and woodland
and the price asked when for sale.
The details Of crop yield and prices
received. including stock Of all kinds,
will be required, just as though the
average farmer managed his affairs as
a mercantile venture with an eye to
ledger balances.
The plan will doubtless be carried
out in a general way and in a salts
factory manner, but the announce
ment that refusal to answer is punish
able by fine or imprisonment is likely
to cause more amusement than trepi-
dalton. Very many farmers till the
soil just for a living. The people on
the land eat all the product one way
or another without keeping tabs on
the price Of every chickens neck they
wiring or Of the butter, eggs and milk
consumed, but forever innocent Of
tape measure and every other measure
methods. Censure bureau edicts will,
Of course, look formidable at the Off
cial end Of the line. But the census
taker works on a hurry up schedule.
and the farmer, through long expert
nce with the book and lightning rod
agents. Is a past master at talking
against time. Before the census in
quisitor he can be as much Of a know
nothing on his own affairs as John ID.
Rockefeller in a United States court.

Looking Into Japan's Activities.
' The incident Of the recall Of the
minister accredited by this govern
ment to China led to'much speculation
as to the precise condition Of u af-
fairs with Japan. About a year ago
the governments at Tokyo and Wash
ington agreed ito communicate with
each other' should anything occur
threatening.th status quo in the far
east. The interest of the United
States in the:f east was well under
stood when the agreement was ex-
changed. If'that interest was threat
ened by Japan's activities in Man
churia or BY the very recent agree
ment between Japan and China, japan
could not be ignorant Of how this
country must view It when the facts
became known.
The record Of the United States
twiths respect to the open door is well
known to all the world. This fact
was doubtless the prime cause for ia
pans action in committing herself to
amicable discussions Of conditions in
the far east. No suspicion of I'M
friendliness to Japan Is implied in the
action Of this country in notifying 9TH
er powers Of it's anxiety at the pres
ent time nor in the decision to care
fully investigate Japan's activities In
.Manchuria. The treatment all along
has been oren and aboveboard. II any

DR.. KAESS CASE
With The JURY
ALLEGED MALPRACTICE CASE
NOW IN HANDS OF TWELVE
MEN WHO ARE SOLE JUDGES OF
FACTS - PoLLocKs CHARGE
MADE THIS MORNING.

When district court opened this
morning, Judge Chas. A. Pollock COM
pleted the case of Esther Sondquist
against DIR. A. j. Kaess with his charge
to the jury. In a concise manner he
gave the law applicable in this action.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the jury re-
tired to weigh the evidence submitted,
as sole judges of fact.
The arguments were opened yester-
day afternoon by Atty. NJ. A. Hildreth
for the plaintiff. For two and a half
hours he addressed the jury in behalf
of the plaintiff who claimed damages
in the sum of $4,000 for alleged NAL
practice. A review of the evidence
showed that the case hinged about a
series of operation on the plaintiff.
There was an array of expert testi-
mony on both sides, together with
stories from hospital attaches.
Judge w. HI. Barnett summed UP the
defendant in q very brief, but none the
less impressive manner. Only half an
hour was consumed by the attorney
for the defense in his address to the
jury.
1t was conceded by those who have
followed the trial OF cases in the dis
trict court, that this was one Of the
closest tried law suits that has occu-
pied the attention of the court in years
Every point, no matter how slight, was
contested and objections and court rul-
ings hold an important place on the
records.

Minneapolis, Dec. ton
Iii real and immediate factors affecting
wheat prices resulted in regaining
developing a broader and more fiendiy
feeling for the bull side. The winter
wheat crop, as reported by the govern

bearing on current values since 1t will
and not a single bushel to contract
stocks that may be applied on Decem-
Der or May sales.
Time enough next spring to swing
1910 crop prospects into the market.
European markets treat the frost dam
age news from Argentine with some
Indifference. All doubt of serious
setback to the crop in the southern sec
tions, however. have been swept away
by the numerous cables confirming in
jury and Europe can not treat with in
difference any losses In the exportable
surplus from south Of the equator.
Domestic developments were encour-
aging 20 holders. Cash wheat prices
were strong in all markets. In the
northwest premiums were higher. NO.
northern selling 21s to cents over

milling situation, millers reporting
