that the lot her minister showed her
was marked out with walls. When
the title to the property came to be
examined It was found that the lot on
which the, old parsonage stood was
only forty-hve feet wide. as ten feet
OF the property Of the adjoining
church had been fenced In with the
parsonage lot.

lot and that the ten feet she lost is
worth $3.50.

asked for an abstract OF the title to
the property Mr.. Green told her that

Trees viii Be Carried
Free Into This State

In order to encourage the planting
OF trees in North Dakota railroads
passing through the state have agreed
to carry free Of charge freight ship
ments Of trees and shrubbery which
are ordered by municipalities. coun-
ties or townships. The railroads
would be willing to extend the privi-
lege to individuals but the interstate
commerce laws make it impossible to
do so.g b. xs4
Several agencies, including the
North Dakota Better Farming associ-
alton and the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college, will wage campaign to
induce communities to take steps to
plant more, trees Trees are one Of
the great needs: Of the state, say e1-
perts. The railroads themselves are
taking the lead and trees are being
planted on the right Of way Of every
company operating here.
The drifting Of soil is one OF the
big problems of farming in North
Dakota, says w. c. Palmer Of the
North Dakota Agricultural college.
AT the Canadian experiment station
at Saskatoon the problem has been
solved and the planting Of trees was
the solution. When the: station was
was started 25 years ago it was fat
prairie: Now from a short: distance
the farm looks like forest. A belt
of trees two or three rods wide has
been planted around the entire farm
and the fields are separated by double
rows of trees. These trees. break the
force of the wind and the !soil no long

PUBLIC HEARINGS END
Sugar Trust Investigation Closed to
Colorado Beet Men.

Washington, Jan 16.-The House
sugar trust investigating committee to-
day decided to shut off all further pub
lie hearing except to w. L. Bass, a
San Domingo sugar grower, the Wis
consin beet sugar factories and the
Hawaiian sugar plantations The in
dependent -efiners protested in vain
against the action
This sudden limitation of the hear
ings was made in executive session and
when the committee resumed in public
session Chairman Hardwick announced
that no more testimony with the tariff
question involved would be taken. A
score of witnesses were waiting to be
heard. c. C. Hamlin of Colorado, re-
presenting Independent refining inter-
ests asked if a witness who had made
an investigation of the European sugar
, beet industry could be heard.
1.-The record has been filed with
statements which independent sugar
rafiners are preparing to contradict
are we to get that opportunity" asked
Mr. Hamlin.
I'VE will not hear anything except
that which I have outlined" answered
Mr. Harwick.
But can we not strsighten out the
recoTd-i. is public and our interests
are involved persisted Mr. Hamlin.
THE gentleman understands the rul-
ing and will resume his seat said Mr..
Hardwick.
Hamlin referred to a batch of letters
which the committee accepted from a
representatiy Of the SpreckeIs sugar
interests. These letters stating the con-
dition of this sugar business in Europe,
were not q true preSe ntation of the
facts the Independent beet sugar mon
asserted. The opportunity to dispute.
Hamlin asserted, was denied by the
committee action
II public hearings ended officially
at 1870 D. M
The last witness heard was Robert
P. Rithets, president of the California
and Hawaii Sugar Refining company
of San Francisco. There is no agree
ments as to price, he said. 1.-The
worlds price controls. If our Compel
itors go up, we go up"
The witness asserted that there was
no "gentlemen's agreement" or other
understanding and protested that it
was human nature for a sugar manu-
facturer to get all the profit he could.
Chairman Hardwick then announced
that the committee would meet in ex-
ecutivc session to consider the record.
Two sugar refiners from Wisconsin
did not take the stand, although given
the privilege.

with the European visible supply showing
an increase the effect of bullish advices
from the Argentine soon disappeared in
the market of wheat. At the outset
Buenos Ayres dispatches telling of storm

9912c to 1880 and declined to $3.50.
Assertions that much Canadian wheat
in bond would be milled at Minneapolis
for export formed an additional source
of weakness but denials led to decided
reaction. The close was firm with May

CORN-Corn suffered the heaviness of
wheat. May opened unchanged to a shade

about a subsequent upturn. The close was

New York Stock Markct.

Wall St, New York, Jan. 16-STOCKS-
Lehigh Valley and the Securities of the
1ooacco companies almost monoplfzed
speculative interest in the stock market
this morning The demand for the To-
oacco stocks and bonds was unusually

ed to pool operations The situation in
l4ehigh Valley arising from the distribu-
ton OF the extra dividends kept alive
speculative interest in this stock although
ITS fluctuations were narrower than re-
Gently.
The usual market leaders were lifeless
and price changes in most cases were
nominal. Liggett and Myers Jumped 7sI
to 1914, the preferred four to Ill. Ameri-
can Tobacco preferred rose 1 and the
bond issues Of the various companies
were also higher. At noon most of the
favorite stocks ruled unchanged from yes
terday's closing.
Bonds were firm.
Large blocks of New York State Canal
bonds of 1861 were absorbed carrying the
price of 102ss. The demand was in large
part by institutions which cannot find
profitable employment for idle funds in
the stock market. Central railroad of
New Jersey also reflected an investment
demand, the price jumping several points
between transa ctions until it reached 331
the highest figure on record and 111k above
yesterdays closing Meanwhile the active
stocks were strong, selling slightly below
yesterdays final figures with partial re-
coveries afterward.
Fluctuations in stocks were Irregular
when trading was begun today: the weak
est point in the list the Interborough
Metropolitan stocks; the common stock
fell y and the preferred AZ. Reading
Union Pacific and B. and o. rose e and
Canadian Pacific 22s.
Fluctuations in the important stocks
were unusually narrow during the trading
in the first hour Selling orders We're
encountered when the bulls bid up Union
Pacific and Reading and when the latter
relapsed to a parity with yesterdays clos
ing the whole list became dul and drop
ping.
The trend of the market became much
stronger in the last half of the day ow-
ing to the buoyancy of the coal stocks.
Reading was taken in large blocks and
touched 154is. delaware and Hudson and
Canadian Pacific gained points and
Lorillard 615.
Market closed steady, leading stocks
doomed into prominence in the last hour.
The shorts showed nervousness over the
stability Of the active list in spite of the
div ersicn of speculative interest into 9th

elevated prices smartly. Union Pacific,
Reading, Great Northern preferred and
Amalgamated Copper rose l to IA. Pres
sure against Lehigh Valley put a check
to the movement and prices fell back
slightly. Lehigh Valley reacted a point
from the best and Reading half as much.

Until a few years ago Henry La
bouchere was one of the most promin-
ent independent politicians in the
British isles. He was a member of par
lament for about half a century but
always declined to take office in any
cabinet. His political views were ex-
tremely radical but he preferred to give
expression to them as free lance in
the house of commons. He welded a
very caustic pen, which was used freely
in the weekly newspaper Truth of
which he was the proprietor and edi-
tor and in VIII Oh he exposed many
abuses in political commercial and
diplomatic service and served as an at
tache at Washington in 1854 but he re-
tired from the service ten years later
to enter politics. Owing to failing
health he had resided in Italy since
1906.
