MARQUIS WHEAT
MOST DESIRABLE
A. A. TRUAX MAKES STATEMENT
ON VARIETY GROWING in
FAVOR LOCALLY.

"This wonderful variety" said
A. A. Truax, was originated at the
Canada experiment station at Ottawa
by breeding red rife on a very early
wheat grown in Indiana. This has
made it one Of the earliest wheats
ever known, and this means a great
deal when it is coupled with the
fact that milling companies hold it
in high favor and that it tops the
list in trials for yield.
Marquis wheat won the $1,000
prize at the New York land snow
against the whole world and again
landed the worlds championship at
the Dry Farming congress held at
Lethbridge, Alberta. To bring it
down to local conditions, marquis
wheat out-yielded all other varieties
at least so per cent in South Dakota
last year. and the quality was much
better.
''The straw Of the wheat is free
from boards. which makes it pre-
ferable to the bearded varieties. l
believe it will pay farmers to make
an extra effort to plant marquis
wheat this spring, for indications are
good for a bumper crop and a little
extra expense on seed will pay big
when the grain is marketed in the
fall"

TURKEY FIGHTS
ON OWN ACCOUNT
TALAAT BEY, GREATEST or
TURKEY LEADERS, DECLARES
GERMANY DID NOT PUT
HER INTO WAR,

Constantinople, Turkey.-'Turkey
declared war without being urged by
Germany or impelled by any other
%inuences, save those of the empire"
said Talaat Bey in a statement today
to the Associated Press, in reply to
questions concerning the political and
military situation in his country.
Talaat Bey fills the post of minis
ter of finance and of marine, in the
Turkish cabinet. Two weeks ago, in
addition to these offices, he also be-
came minister of the administration.
He is a young Turk and undoubtedly
the most important man in Turkey at
the present time. His advices are
needed everywhere and he virtually
directs the public affairs OF the Otto
man empire.
Turkey engaged in military oper,
ATOMS he continued, only when dc-
lions on the part of Russia and Great
Britain made defensive measures nee
essary. Turkey has taken all steps
needful to carry the war through.
THE holy war is not menacing
Christions, but a holy war. A fact
which the Mohammendan world
should bear in mind is that Christians
in the Ottoman empire who are par
ticipating in the destines of their
country are not suffering from condi-
tons brought about by the present
state of affairs and any statements TO
the contrary are a result of British,
French and Russian intrigues, the
purpose of which is to direct against
Turkey the pressure of neutral coun-
tries of lower standing in the Otto
man world"
He complained of the attitude OF
the foreign newspapers, including the
American press, which, he said, is
oblivious alike to the position of Tur-
key under the pressure of the Entente
powers and the efforts of the Youue
Turks to accomplish the reforms as
sociated with the party.
"On land and sea alike, the Rus
SLAMS and British provoked hostili
ties" he declared. "Our action fin

trance to the B%osphorus.

SPAIN TIRES OF
MEXICAN ANARCHY
APPEALS TO OTHER POWERS
FOR JOINT ACTION TO END
LAWLESSNESS THERE.

London, England.-The Spanish
| government has made application to
the powers to obtain joint action to
end what is termed to be a state OF
anarchy in Mexico, according to dis
patch from Madrid to the Exchange
Telegraph company.
Washington, ID. C.-Officials mere
learned with much interest of the
press reports that Spain had address
ed a communication to the powers on
the situation in Mexico. At the
Spanish embassy, it was said, no
word had been received from Madrid
as to the decision of the cabinet,
but that "a full report of the eXpul-
sion from Mexico of Joe Caro-, the
Spanish minister, on which it is pre-
sumed here Spain's reported action
is based, had been sent by Mr.. Caro-
through the embassy here to the
Spanish foreign office.
That conditions in Mexico have
been gradually growing worse is adj
mitted at the State department.
There has been a disposition to
regard the expulsion of the Spanish
minister as a personal matter be-
tween General Carranza and Mr..

delivery he has feiled within the last
few weeks.
The finding of the chemicals may
oners in the Jail woh implicated in
the plot, which was discovered when
the sheriff Investigated a tip he had
received from the outside. The chief
offender probably was Miles Odle,
who would have been released sun
day after serving a three months
term for forgery.
For several weeks, Odle has been
allowed a number of privileges be-
cause of his conduct and the fact that
his time was nearly up. Due to his
efforts, an attempt some time ago to
club the sheriff and escape from Jail
was frustrated. He has been allowed
to work around the court house and
shovel off hte walks and was appar-
emily trustworthy.
The middle of the week, Odle sug-
gested to the deputy sheriff, Charles
Bentliff, that he be allowed to go
down town, stating that the sheriff
had given him permission. There
was apparently no danger in this
and Mr.. Bentliff allowed him to make
the trip. While gone, it is presumed
that he purchased the acid and gly-
cerine, also a bottle of laundnum for
one of the Jail inmates who is ad-
dicted to its use.
When the prisoners we're ques-
toned last night, all denied any
knowledge of the explosive. All were
searched and The bottles finally found
in one of the cells. 1t also was dis
covered that the acid had been tested
on one of the jail windows and the
temper withdrawn fro them bars.
The ring-leader of the attempt is
believed to be e. II. Bell, whose three
months term for obtaining goods un-
der false pretenses will expire on
March 2S. Bell was the head of the
former attempt to escape and is be-
lieved to be wanted by authorities
elsewhere.
Bell made one attempt to escape
during the early evening that was
nearly successful. While Deputy
Bentliff was locking the main Jail
the electric lights flashed out for a
moment. He grabbed his overcoat
and was out, running up the stairs.
Sheriff Owens was suspicious, and
Bell ran into his arms at the top o
the stairs.

DAY EVENING BY SCORE OF
AZ TO IA POINTS.

Huron college is pointed for the
state basket ball championship. The
supremacy of the Presbyterians VAS
clearly shown Tuesday evening, when
by brillian team and individual play
ing Huron drubbed Dakota Wesleyan
by the score of AZ to IA. The strug-
gle was hard fought at every stage.
The visitors took the lead at the
outset of the battle on the high
school floor and were eve header.
Brief rallies in the first period APP
parently gave the Methodists a
chance, but their lack of training fa-
cilities and consequent practice told
against them and Huron gradually
pulled adead. At the end of the
first half, the score was 10 to 6 for
Huron.
Wesleyan undoubtedly was handl-
capped by the absence of Knox, whose
speed and accuracy j sa leading as
set for the Methodists. Melvin Chase
made his debut as a basketball play
er and was given the task of guarl-
ing Schroeder, the best player of the
