PsAnclpaI Events Gathered In the

A cable from Copenhagen says:
The threatened campaign against the
Standard Oil company has been avert
ed by agreement reached at a meeting
of delegates from Scandinavian pc
troleum dealers associations and the
Standard Oil company's Danish
branch, which is known as the "Dan-
ish Petroleum company" Under the
agreement the Standard Oil company
guarantees that prices for oil in Scan
dinavia shall be no higher than else
where. The representatives Of the
dealers unions accepted this, consid-
ering that it would be impossible to
obtain better terms at present. The
Standard Oil company now only makes
fve-year contracts with the dealers.
The Danish branch of the big corpora
ton also controls the sale of oil in
Sweden and Norway, but owing to the
war" last year this only amounted to
8 per cent. In previous years it aver
aged from Is to 40 per cent.

I'm Denmark the science of agricul.
ture has probably been developed to q

of the two eastern islands, Loland and
Seeland, is a very rich clay and the
land looks like that in Carver and

however, are not as free from foul
seeds as they might be, and on the bet.
ter farms in Minnesota the farming
Is much cleaner. This is undoubted.
ly due to our corn crop which en-.
ables farmers. to virtually clean
up their fields when in corn. The only
crop that they have serving that pur.
pose is the sugar beet, and that is
rarely produced in areas comparable
to our corn fields"

Sneed fued. which has startled the
people of two nations with its tragic
Incidents, shot and instantly killed Al.
bert Boyce, who eloped with Sneed's
wife last January. The killing took
place in front OF the Methodist church
here.
A beard OF several weeks growth
furnished a complete disguise and
those who saw the shooting thought
Sneed was a hunter. {,
The shooting occurred on the prin:
cipal street of the city within two
blocks of the business district. E.
Heavy loads of buckshot took effect
in Boyce's right side and death must
have been practically instantaneous.
Newspaper men were not permitted to
e Sneed and neither he nor his at,
torneys had any statement to make.
The killing of Boyce is the last
tragic incident in a list Of tragedies
which began last January. when Mrs.
Lena Sneed ran away from a sanar
forum in Fort Worth. where she had
been placed by her husband for nerv.
Gus and mental trouble.
Mrs. Sneed, in company with AL
Boyce. left Fort Worth and there was
a sensational chase after the couple by
Beall Sneed across the United States
into Canada, where they we're located
in Winnipeg by Minneapolis detectives.
Sneed prevailed upon his wife to re.
turn to Texas. She came and on &C.

the assistance alleged to have been
given young Boyce by his father. Beall
Sneed shot Captain Boyce to death in
the lobby of the Metropolitan hotel in
Fort Worth. The shooting followed a
conference with Mrs. Lena Sneed and
her husband. There we're numerous
witnesses to the shooting. This was
the first tragedy in the series.
Following closely on the trial Of
Sneed for the murder of Captain Boyce
in which the jury disagreed, came the
news Of the tragic death of Beall
