Important Amendment

I
The most important amendment brought
out during the day was offered from the
committee and agreed to with several
democrats voting against it. This would
provide that member banks shall have
unlimited rediscount privileges with re-
serve banks.
Another amendment adopted would pro-
vide that discounted paper shall have a
maturity of more than 80 days instead OF
90 as originally intended.
Examination of three experts by. the
Senate currency eompittee brought some
strong support for the administration bill
and some sharp criticism of its provisions
Prof. o. M. w. Sprague of Harvard, New
| ton d. Alling, vice president OF the Ma
| tional Nassau bank of New York, and r.
| e. Marshall of st. Louis, formerly presi-
dent Phoenix National bank of New York,
discussed the measure with the commit
tee during the day.
Senator Reed, a democratic member
of the committee. asserted during the
hearings of the objected to long terms
for members of the federal reserve
board that would make that board un-
responsive to a change in political con-
ditions.
II will never consent to creating a
system supposed to be controlled by
the public which the people of the
United states cannot change at the
next election" he said
Mr.. Alling expressed the opinion that
the best form of government currency
would be a general issue of federal
notes secured by a great central gold
reserve in treasury vaults. He said the
government could continue to issue
currency on this reserve far beyond
its actual value so long as the notes
were issued only to meet actual needs
of commerce.

WHAT CROP ROTATION REALLY
MEANS -.

Grand Forks, Jan. 17-Around the |
expression "crop rotation" there has
grown up an idea among a consider
able percentage Of North Dakota that |
these words express something very
technical. The Better Farming AS
ISOLATION in recent bulletin empha-
sizes the: fact that crop rotation is
nothing more or less than simply the ]
arrangement of different classes of
crops SO that in a series Of years
there shall be a maximum of returns
and a minimum of fertility lost. The
establishment Of crop rotation a
farm does not usually require any rad
ical change in acreage. It means that
for a series of years there shall be
/ just as many acres of money crops
seeded as harvested as will make
their production profitable.
The planning of a complete rota-
ton of any farm consists in the plac-
ing of crops which give the greatest
net income for the farm will be OBJ
tanned. By taking into consideration
the factors affecting crop growth and
following a complete and carefully
planned rotation, the present produc-
! tiveness of the soil may not only be
maintained, but be, largely increas-
| ed. While rotation can be used
with profit if livestock are kept, it is
much easier to return to the soil the
organic matter contained in the crop
residues when they are fed on the
i farm. ~ Crop rotation and livestock,

It is not always possible to state
definitely how much the productive
capacity Of soil has been improved
by crop rotation because some Of the
results are Immediate, while d others
are carried over for future produc-

ment station it has been found after
fifteen years study, that wheat was

FEDEaALs AT REBEL CAPITAL.
Capture Piedras Negras Without Fir

Piedras Negras, Mexico, Oct g.
Without firing a shot federal soldiers
took possession of Piedras Negras,
erstwhile provisional capital of the
constitutionalists. Except for four
stragglers who were cut down by the
federal cavalry while they were at
tempting to escape across the border,
all the constitutionalist troops left
Piedras Negras with the approach of
the government army.
While the constitutionalsts were
leaving panic prevailed among the
residents, who rushed for the interna-
tional bridge. Seven thousand terror
stricken people were allowed to cross
the boundary.
Some dispatches indicate that the
rebel army is scattered and broken in
spirit.

ceived say Torreon has been cap

BLACKS FLEE TOWN
FEARING THE MOOSE
Race Riots ; Impend at Romeo,
ILL.,, After Giant Is Killed.
FUGITWEs ARE GUARDED
Townspeopie, Angry at Trespasses,
Threaten to Lynch Woman-Sher-
If and Posse in Autos Re-
store Order.

Joliet, ILL.,, Oct. 9.-One negro was
killed, the village jail was wrecked,
and serious race riot narrowly
averted at Romeo, eight miles north
Of Joliet Wednesday, The arrival Of
big corps of special deputy sheriffs
from Joliet, sent in answer to the ap-
peal of Mayor Edward Swanson of
Romeo, was all that saved a part of
the whole population from massacre.
John Winfield, a giant negro, bat
tered in the lookup door with rail-
road tie, seized Lulu Hills, negress,
and holding her before him as a
shield made a savage attack upon
Louis Hanson, resident of the vii
lage, whom the town marshal had
called to his aid Hanson killed Win
field in defense of his own life.
Immediately the town and country
side were in an uproar. Sheriff Thorn
as Stevenson, who was notified by
telephone at Joliet, eight miles away,
rushed an automobile laden with
armed deputies into the town and
every negro in the section was taken
safely away within half an hour.
Armed deputies met every steam or
electric train at the outskirts of the
village, which is % miles from Chica-
go, and warned negroes not to alight.
Citizens, angered into savage desire
to show their resentment of indign1-
ties they say they have been forced
to submit to from negro roisterers for
months, found no one for victim
and the riot spirit died away.
The slain negro lived in Joliet,
where he was employed last at the
saloon of F. E. DAILY at Marion and
Railroad streets. He was six feet
three inches tall, weighed 225 pounds
and was powerful in proportion.
Hanson, who killed Winfield, is a
carpenter. He fought for ten minutes
with all the desperation of man
knowing his own life lay in the out
come of the struggle, and the negro
had the advantage The revolver for
which they fought was held in Han
sons hand and was discharged during
the fight, the bullet striking Winfield
in the breast
During the struggle Marshal Farrell
was in his own home searching for
ammunition for his shotgun; for which
he had run when he and Hanson
were assailed at the jail door by the
drink-infuriated giant armed with
railroad tie, which he brandished IN
his long arms as though it were
cudgel.
Hanson had drawn the revolver
from his pocket in an attempt to COW
the negro into giving up his effort
to batter down the jail door and res
cue the negro woman, with whom he
had been drinking earlier in the day.

BANKERS AT CONVENTION
OPPOSE CURRENCY BILL
Resolution Is Adopted by Fnanciers

proved the report of the currency
commission, criticising the Glass-Owen
measure and calling some of its pro-
visions socialistic; next ratified and
Endorsed the findings and conclusions
of the recent Chicago conference OF

wisdom of amending the currency Dill

To this last section of the resolu-
ton the bankers added pledge OF

voice in the management of the
money.
In another section it criticised ana
pointed out the dangers of political
control"
