The coroner's jury, composed of A.
ii. Leimbacher. e. G. Anderson and J.
F. Holmes, which was impanelled by
County Coroner Sam Mitchell the
morning after the death of w. HI. Le-
Turmay, met this morning with the
coroner and gave it's verdict. At a
session Saturday noon they completed
the hearing OF the testimony in the
case.
Their verdict holds that Mr.. Le-
Turmay was killed by an automobile
that was being driven in careless
and negligent manner but that they
did not consider the evidence sufficient
to make the driver criminally liable.
LeTurmay was killed on the evening
on Nov. 8 on Ninth street north. On
his bicycle he was coming from the
north and as he neared the corner of
Ninth street and Second avenue north
was hit by an automobile driven by
G. 7. Gross. The force of the blow
threw the unfortunate man to the
pavement and he died shortly after
being taken to the hospital. The acci-
dent occurred at 8 o'clock.
Eye witnesses to the accident testi-
fed that Mr.. Gross in making the
corner was going at such speed as
to make wide and circling turn
necessary and that on the left side Of
the street he struck Mr.. LeTurmay.
He stopped his machine as soon as he

BRITISH Have
LONG HARD DRIVE
BEFORE BAGDAD

London. Nov. 30.-The British VIC
tory over the Turks at Ctesiuhon, near
Bagdad, as reported last week, has
not, as many persons beloved, seal
ed the fate of Bagdad. An Official re-
port issued last night says that hav-
ing successfully completed the re-
moval of his wounded and prisoners.
General Townshend, the British COM
mander, in the face Of the arrival of
Turkish retnforccments, again has
withdrawn his force to a position
lower down the Tigris river. This an.
nouncement was made in an official
statement, last night which reads:
The enemy's strength at the battle
of Ctesiphon Is estimated at four
divisions. One Of these is stated by
prisoners to have been practically
own observe tions. but the approach OF
Turkish reinforcements is reported.
General Townshend. having sue
cessfully completed the removal OF his
wounded and prisoners, has with
drawn his force TO position lower
down the river"
While this will prove a disappoint-
ment to the uninitiated. those who
know the country through which the
British have forced their wav are not
surprised that every precaution IS be-
ing taken to prevent a reverse. or even
G. check. in the march upon Mesopota-
mia
The country is very inhospitable
and especially at this time Of the year
1t Is necessary that the ARMY should
keep near the river. where there is a
plentiful supply Of water an5 where
1t can be reprovisioned and supplied
with munitions and guns by the
Heterogeneous fleet which accompan-
les it.
The defeat inflicted upon the Turks
previously appears. from Ill accounts.
TO have been a serious one. of the
four Turkish divisions engaged Ia the
fighting, onehaving virtually been wip-
ed out. General Townshend, accord
ing to the first account of the battle,
commanded only one British diyis-
ion. but he probably will be better
supplied with guns than his oppon-
cnts, as long as he keeps near tho
river and has the assistance of armed
steamers and tugs which have been
converted into floating forts 1t is
expected that he is receiving rein
forcements which will enable him
shortly to resume his advance on Bag
dad.
AS the season advances his pro-
gress is expected to become less diff
cult. Heretofore the British force has
had to contend with the intense heat
and lack Of water. but the rivers are
now rising and there should soon be
plenty of water for the men and
horses and for tho purpose cf navlga-

Cooperation First Step
Toward Better Agricultural
Conditions Says McVey

Chicago, Nov. 30.-Co- operation as
the first and important step in the
proposed reorganization of American
agriculture along lines that will bring
lasting prosperity was pictured by
Frank L. McVey, president of the Uni
Versity of North Dakota and chair
man Of the thirtieth national confer
ence on marketing and farm credits,
in his address welcoming the delegates.
He argues for better agriculture, bet
ter markets and better financing and
said in part: --.:
I'VE are told that the wealth produc-
ed in a given year, agriculture was to
be credited for $9,000,000.0 900 and that
S6 per cent of the population. of the
United States is engaged in farming or
supported by it. Despite this showing,
agriculture taken as whole, has not
prospered. 1t is agreed that there
must be changes, which may be center
ed about three things:
G) Better agriculture, CD better
markets and (S) better financing.
Better agriculture. is fairly well
taken care of through the work Of the
department of agriculture, in the
activities of the farming associations
and by the schools and colleges, But,
it has been clearly shown that better
agriculture depends upon an adequate
system OF finAnce improvements
have taken place in the quicker trans
portation OF products and in prompter
financial service. Yet these have not
touched the real problem,

fense society as Defense Day"
throughout the United States, - the
most timely occasion for holding mass
meetings and addressing letters and

In case there is an earlier meeting

In order to make the occasion an

such belief by hanging out flags at

Mrs. Poppler Claims She
Was Asked to Resign
With Two Days Notice

IT feel like a free woman again."
said Mrs. Irma Erwin Poppler this af-
ternoon. II didn't resign, / was asked
to quit and with three days notice
after three years of service. / was
let out because i refused to handle the
social work in the city in connection
with my policewoman work Anyone
that knows anything about social
work will know that for any one per-
son to handle the two jobs would be
an impossibility."
Mrs. Poppler has been FaIgo's po-
Iicewoman for the past three years
and owing to the fact that the city
budget for 1916 did not provide for a
policewoman's position IN itself, she
was asked to take charge of the social
work of the city and to continue her
work as policewoman. This she re-
fused to do. and on Sunday last was
given notice that her services would
not be required after December 1.
1t was Chief OF Police Troyer to
whom the duty OF breaking the news
to Mrs. Poppler was given. Mrs. Pop
pier replied that she had intending
severing her connections with the po-
lice department on January ! and Mr..
Troyer answered that in that case he
believed there be no objections to her
continuing the duties OF policewoman
until that time. Police Commissioner
Dahl was consulted in the matter and

sumer there is a great commercial
and financial gap. In the mercantile
world this gap between the producer
and the consumer is being bridged
rapidly by the establishment Of the
necessary machinery of branches and
agents. But, the farmer is playing
the game alone and finds 1t increasing
ly difficult to protect himself against
his own ignorance and isolation.
THE farmer should come to larger
appreciation of the necessity of CO.
operation between the agricultural
groups. It is not a question Of social
ism or individualism Of democracy or
republicanism, it is question OF efh-
cheney and social betterment.
There is still a third clement in
this problem to be considered.
Financing the farmer has been dis
cussed nearly everywhere. Without
question, no great industry can pro-
gress unless it has an adequate system
of finance. The commercial world
long learned this and the farmer must
come into a clearer appreciation of it's
meaning. \As yet, no plan has been
attempted and no details have been
made clear It is now time that both
be done. @>,ss'- s.r.......r, e5 a
In the final analysis, no one is go
ing to solve the farmers problem for
him. He must do that for himself.
Nor will he solve It by his clannish
attitude of class spirit. The problems
are fundamentally economic and must
be based upon sound principles of
business and finance. Hence co-opera-
ton becomes the keynote"

notoriously conservative and apart
from the patriotic question of assist
ing to right the exchange and aiding
fellow traders to pay their debts to
America, there is the knowledge that
American gold bonds at par and over
yielding from IL Der cent to per
cent are quite as good as any other
security at the present time. Some
stock brokers are known to have urged
their clients to sell out but so far the
response has not been great, even
when the ADVANTAGE Of the present
prices and the turn in their favor on
the present rate OF exchange have been
represented. Now that the exchange
Is gradually hardening, however, and
bankers at the suggestion of the gov
ernment give hint to holders, there
may be better response and any
funds derived from such sales will un-

may take.

mons that the amount OF consols, an
