COOPERATIVE SELLING

Mason City, Ia. Feb. 11.-Coop-
erative selling of grain and methods
by which farmers elevator companies

discussed here before the Farmers

to the office of markets and rural or
ganization of the federal department
of agriculture.
The cooperative selling of grain
is in its infancy" he said. THE
time will come when practically all
of the grain raised by the producers
will be marketed by organizations
owned, controlled and operated by
the producers. The most important
question that confronts us today is
that OF bringing the efficiency of
these organizations to the highest
possible point.

RETURNED MISSIONARY
Interesting Meeting TO Be Held at the
Presbyterian Church Sunday
Evening.

Those who read the daily press
will remember that when the war
broke out last August there were cer-
tain missionaries returning from At
RIGA who were marooned, SO that for
three months there vas no word re-
ceived of their whereabouts. Finally
after many dangers they arrived in
this country in November. Miss
verna Z. Eick of Flandreau, who for
a number of years has been a mis-
sionary in Flat, in the German terri
tory OF Kamarun, West Africa. was
one of the missionaries marooned
The saddest part of the story in this
connection is that while she was re-
turning to see her mother, she was
not permitted to return in time to
see her alive. Miss Eick will arrive
in Madison on Saturday and will
speak in the Presbyterian church on
Sunday evening. She will have an
interesting story to tell of her return
and also of her mission work under
the equator in Africa. Everyone is
invited to hear her.

"a IN THE
Ladies of st. Katherine's Guild
Guests of the Boyd Families.

Ladies of st. Katherine's Guild
who were the guests of the Boyd fam
lilies in Herman township yesterday,
had the time of their life-they say.
They left the city at 10 o'clock in the
morning-sixteen ladies in a bob
sleigh. The sleighing was fine on
the drive of six miles out to the Boyd
farms, and they arrived in time for a
sumptuous dinner which had been
provided for them. The time was
spent with much pleasure until 4
o'clock when the party started on
their way home-and now came the
tug of war. The temperature of 38
degrees above zero which had pre-
vailed during the day melted the
snow from the roads and the driver
was compelled to pick his way
through fields, over grassy lanes and
wherever snow could be found. and
the ladies were many times COM
PEELED to dismount from the sleigh
and walk over the bare places. The
driver piloted the party to the shores
of Lake Herman and boldly chose his
road across the lake or the Ice, and
while this ought to have been a nov
city ride, a great portion Of 1t was
spoiled by the fear of the ladies that
they would break through the ice to
a watery grave. Finally they reach
ed home at Z o'clock in the evening
three hours making a drive OF six
miles. But they had a good time.

somewhat advanced in age, and about
three years ago gave up his farm in
the southern part of the county and
moved into the city, being unable to
withstand the work necessary TO han

that he is so often confined to his

PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED By THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Feb. 11.-Special: The
C~arpathians and the crown land of
Bukowina claim most attention in
the campaign in the eastern war
zone. The battles in the Carpathian
hills are of a desperate character, but
without decisive result. while latest
reports indicate the withdrawal of
the Russian forces in Bukowina. The
Austrians claim to have driven the
Russians back in the southern dis
tricts of Bukowina, and to have oc-
cupied the important town of Wanna.
In Poland and East Prussia steady
fighting continues along fronts ex-
tending over many miles, the very
length of which and the vast num-
bers of men contending make it inn
possible to estimate the value of the
small advances or repulses at various
points with respect to the final result.
In France and Belgium there is a
period of calm, although in the Ar
gonne the Germans have made sew
eral advances.
The German foreign secretary,
Herr Won Jagow, takes occasion to
explain the recent announcement of
Germany regarding naval measures
to be taken against hostile CONNER
cial shipping. He denies that a
blockade is intended and declares
that Germany has merely designated
the waters in question as a war area,
with the intention of conducting war
operations in that region. He ur-
gently warns neutral shipping to
avoid the indicated wal one
AS yet. according to Herr Won ia.
gov. Germany has received no pro-
test from neutral states concerning
the a~dmiralty's action.
Copenhagen reports, however, that
the Scandinavian countries and Hol,
land are arranging for common ac.
ton with regard to the German proc
lamation of a war zone in British
waters. In the Russian duma, which
has reassembled, Premier Goremykir
made the announcement that the
Russian army, Notwithstanding it'
losses, is now stronger than ever
The foreign minister, M. Sazonoff
called attention to the new financia
and economical entente between thu
allies, which, he said, will material
ly assist in bringing the ~struggl'

MUST KILL PRAIRIE DOGS
Texas Land Owners Are Compelled
by Law to Destroy the
Pests.

Austin, Tex.-Prairie dogs are de-
clared to be public nuisance, accord
ing to an act passed at the special ses-
sion of the Thirty-fourth legislature
and which act is now effective. Tho
act also provides for their extermina-
ton, but no bounty is given by the
state for eliminating the so-called
pests; owners of land on which prairie
dogs exist are required under the law
to kill them and an allowance of two
years is given to such owners to rid
their lands of the nuisance
It is also made the duty ofsthe coun.
ty commissioners of any county in
which prairie dogs exist to investigate
and determine Swhether owners Of
lands in their respective commission
ers precincts have complied with the
provisions of the law.
In the event the owner of land on
which prairie dogs exist fails to de.
stroy such pests the act empowers the
sheriff OF the county involved to pro-
coed and destroy the nuisance.
For his service the sheriff is allowed
five dollars a day for actual service.
and this sum is to be paid by the coun-
ty commissioners, but the amount so
paid shall be assessed against the
owner of land and the account or claim
entered as a lien against the land in
case of failure to pay the amount due
