Chicago, Nov. 27.-Michael
Cudahy, founder ot .he pack
ing firm bearing his name, died
at S:45 O'clock tonight at hos
pital here of double pnuemonia.
Cudahy had been i'll five days.
The desease became serious
early Saturday morning. Mem
bers of his immediate family
were at his bedside when death
came. Cudahy was born in

came to th1 United States with
his parents in lS49, the family
settling at Milwaukee, Wis.
In 1855. while boy of 10,
Cudahy became an employe in
the Milwaukee packing house
and this marked the beginning
of his career in the Industry in
" hich he later was to take a
prominent part.
From butcher, Cud h "
moved up rapidly to foreman
packing house manager, and
meat inspector. At this time
he attracted the attention of the
late r. ID. Armour and at Ar
mour's solicitation he came to
Chicago.
In 1873 Cudahy was made
partner in the firm of Armour
& Co. He continued in this
connection until 1890, when he
was instrumental in organic
ing the Cudahy Packing COM
pany, of which ne Vas made
president. His brothers, ohm
and Patrick, were associated
with him. The firm establish
ed numerous branch houses
and became we'll known in Mil
waukee, Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha, Los Angeles, Sioux
City, st. Louis and other pack
ing centers.
Cudahy was also interested
in various other lines of busi-
ness

DRY FARMING

DIR. Widtsoe of Utah prepared
a paper for the Dry Farming
Congress. 1t brought out the
following data as results of ex
perinents. Wi II the same
amount of moisture a crop can
make from one tenth to two
times as much growth on a soil
we'll supplied with available
plant food than on a poor soil.
For instance a field that would
produce ton of hay would by
the application of manure pro-
duce ton and one.third. 1t
was also found that cultivating
a field liberated plant food so
that the plant could make from
one-fifth to twice e as much
growth with the same mois-
tuEe. It seems to be a good
deal like feeding man with
thin or thick soup.

TALLAK BROKEN DEAD

Harmony has lost another of
her respected old pioneers.
Tallak Broken die d last
Thursday at 4 o'clock p. m.,
aged 81 years and 8 months.
Mr.. Broken had. been ailing
for the past year or since he
suffered paralytic stroke and
for the past six months he has
not been able to speak word
understandingly though able
to make his regular trips down
town until the last week when
he was confined to his bed. De-
ceased leaves wife and seven
children and a gr. at number
of grand children to mourn his
loss.
He was born Feb. %, 1928 and
came to this country in 1858,
settling in Wisconsin. In 1854
he located on the homestead
mile and half west of the
Greenfield church where h e
lived until some years ago when
he moved into town. Funeral
sefvices were held today, Tues.
day, Rev. Rasmussen offciat--
ing but the remains were kept
in the church awaiting the ar
rival Of his son John who was
out west and unable to reach
here before tonight. The burial
will take place Wednesday.
Mr.. Broken has been a mem
ber of the Greenfield congrega-
ton since it's organization. Few
men have been able to accum-
ulate as much wealth as he, it
being estimated that he was
worth from 5 to 2 hundred
thousand dollars but this is the
result of honest and upright
dealing and his word was as
good as an iron clad contract.

Mr.. Broken was father of
Mrs. Geo. Wralstad of this city.

Can't Sell Near Beer

The supreme court in handing
down an opinion as to whether or not
near beer is classed as an Intoxicating
beverage on case coming from Nam
pa has rendered the following syllabus
of the opinion:
Section 81 of local option statute
defines intoxicating liquors as includ-
inc "spirituous, vinous, malt nd fer
mented liquors and all mixtures es and
preparations thereof including bitters
and other drinks that may be psed as
a beverage and produce intoXica ation. :"
Under the definition given by the
legislature all spirituous, vinous, malt
and termented liquors are declared as
matter of law to be intoxicating
and it is unnecessary for the state to
prove that any liquor or bevera pc fall
ing within the enumbrated class will
in fact produce intoxication.
Under the provisions of the local
option statute it is necessary for the
state to prove the intoxicating quality
of all mixtures and preparations used
or intended to be used as bev erages
which do not fall within the numer-
ated class designated as "spirituous,
vinous, malt and fermented liq uors.
"The legislature in enactm ent Of
the local option statute evidently had
in mind two-fold object: first that
OF discouraging and as far as p pssible
preventing lntoXicatlon and intemp-
erance in the use of intoxicants; and
second and equally importent, that Of
protecting the youth Of the stat . from
acquiring a taste for intoxicants and
the habit Of indulging in drinks and
beverages that contain the int oxicat-
ing element.

DoingS Of City Dads

Alta meeting of the city fathers,
held Monday night, three additional
hydrants were ordered placed in at
once, one to be located at the corner
of Florence and Main, another corner
A and Fourth and the third near the
j. |. Overman residence.
The city attorney was ordered to
prepare an ordinance having for it's
object the repeal of the present ordi-
nance which has been in force for
some time requiring that all dogs be
muzzled. This ordinance will be
passed at the next session of the coun-
ell, which will be held Monday night
and until that time citizens must keen
their dogs muzzled.
The doing away with this measure
is the result Of the dying of the hydro
phobia scare.

the binder and the threshcr all the
best of it. For example. we have

looking after our threshing. We have
also, with the little Idaho, been en-
abled to 90 into our grain the moment
1t was ready instead of waiting few
days or week or more until the
