SENATE HOLDS
 LONG SESSION Upper Chamber In Continuous Ses. sion for 37 Hours-Fightinq the
 Ship Purchasing Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Sen ate took a recess late Saturday night until this morning following the ses- sion of thirty-seven hours with two Republican senators holding the floor and determined to prevent the ad- ministration ship purchasing bill from coming to vote. The Democrats have succeeded in having the bill made the unfinished business of the Senate and it can be taken up and voted at any time provided the Re publicans surrender the floor which they, however, refuse to do.
 Senators Shoot and Sutherland, of Utah, were the two senators who held the floor for thirty-seven hours, blocking all efforts Of the majority to bring the measure to a vote. The rules of the Senate allow for the de. lay in legislation and if the Repub- licans can continue to hold the meas ure up for few days the majority will surrender in order to get the appropriation bills passed before the present session of congress ends on March 4th.
 Senators Root and Lodge are still to be heard from and they are en- ;gineering the fight against the bill, claiming that it is not the function of government to enter the interna- tional transportation business and op- crate steamers between the United States and foreign countries.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The fight over the shipping bill was resumed this morning as soon as the Senate reconvened. The leaders of the ad- ministration in the upper house an- nounced today that the fight would be continued until one side or the other weakened. The Democrats hope to force the bill to vote in spite of the work of Root, Lodge, Shoot, Sutherland and other Republicans. The Senate will remain in continuous session day and night. The Repub- licans will remain on duty, sleeping in chairs and watching the Democrats, forcing them also to remain in the Senate chamber. Day and night the fight will continue unless one side or the other, weakened by the strain, gives in.

LOCAL LAMBS TOP THE MARKET
ALFALFA FEED TURNS TRICK
CAR OF SPRING LAMBS FROM MONTANA
RANGE YIELD NET PROFIT OF $225
IN Is DAYS AT FARM

A carload of 21O lambs fed by the Williston
Sub-EXperiment station topped the South St. Paul
market last week with Is cent premium, or
$3.50 per hundred weight. These lambs were Sc
cured on the Montana range, and arrived here late
in September They were fed for rs days under
the feeding in transit privilege accorded by the
railroads, which allows through freight rates and
eliminates local freight charges.
The flock run on field of standing corn
for three weeks, pastured on stubble six weeks,
and finished on barley and alfalfa hay, the last
five weeks. The feeding was done in sheltered
corral in the open air. no shed being provided for
experience shows that this class of stock prefer
the outdoors. gain of % pounds per head was
made in the PERIOD netting gain of approxi-
mately $225.O0, after deducting cost of feeds at
market price, freight, commission, and other
charges.
Better Than Last Year
similar trial was made last year with a load
of lambs, on which net profit of almost $2OO.O0
was earned. This load was fed on barley, SCREEN
ngs and alfalfa hay, and had no opportunity to
Craze in the 103 days they were in the feed lot.
This fact, Notwithstanding the lower prices of
feeds, accounts for the greater profits from the.
1915 trial.
1t is believed at the sub-station that fattening
western sheep and lambs during the fall and win
ter months is profitable, and the two trials above
mentioned were undertaken to determine the
methods to be employed, and what profits to be
expected. A full report of the work of the last
two seasons is now being prepared, and will be
ready for distribution within q short time. With
our natural advantages of cheap feed, there is lit
tie reason why this section should not in a few,
years become feeding center.

VILLA FACTION SIGNS TERMS
MEANS PEACE FOR MEXICO
GENERAL VILLA is PROMISED IMMUNITY
IN THE UNITED STATES IF HE
ABANDONS CAMPAIGN

Ell Paso Tex, Dec. Enlargement was reach
ed and papers signed today whereby the Villa
faction in northern Mexico concludes peace terms
with the de facto government of Mexico.
The conference was held between Mexican
Consul Garcia and former lieutenants of Francisco
Villa at the consulate in Ell Paso. General Villa
is reported in Juarez. The signing of the peace
agreement eliminates him from Mexican affairs.
cials have decided that General Villa will receive
asylum accorded to political refugees should he
ter the United States. This decision sent last
night to General Funston by the war department,
for transmission to Villa or his representatives.
Deeply Interested
Much interest is displayed by officials here as
to whether Villa would accept compromise immun-
The state department had reports that alleged
Intermediates had requested Villas immunity
from arrest, saying that if this is given they be-
lieved Villa would abandon the fight against Car
rama and retire to private life in the United
States.
The state department does not conceal it's de-
sire to have Villa eliminated Without him the
revolution in the north will be certain to fail, Off
cials believe. Intermediates also said that the
plan is for the retirement from the field of the
entire Villa army
Arrangements at Ell Paso
Ell Paso, Tex, Dec 20.---Final arrangements
for General Francisco Villa to enter the United
States, ending his participation in Mexico affairs,
were to be made here at noon, according to infor-
nation from authentic sources.
Preparations to this end were begun upon the
receipt of Secretary Lansing's decision that Villa
will be accorded asylum political refugee.
Such immunity would not protect him from
within the United States on charges
of ordinary character. This government has
nothing on which charge can be brought against
Villa but it is said local officials at FL Paso have
information concerning alleged irregularities in
cattle deals in which Villa is involved.

FARM CLUBS JOIN IN MARKETING
MARKET DAY PROVES SUCCESS
FOUR CLUBS OFFER FINE PRODUCE DIRECT
FROM THE FARM---MANY CONSUMERS
SUPPLY NEEDS

Four farm Clubs Missouri Ridge, Garden Val
ley and Williston Township Joined in the market
day plan and displayed an attractive variety Of
fresh farm produce at the Stroud building on
Broadway last Saturday. 1t was the second OF the
successful. Other clubs are welcome to join and it
seems probable that more will do The i'm
portant thing at the beginning, it is felt, is to get
these market days established and advertised and
to get the consumers in the habit of depending on
them for part of their supplies.
The produce offered included dressed turkeys
and chickens, dressed pork, live poultry, winter
vegetables, eggs, butter, various kinds of pickles
and preserves. It was all in nice condition and
very tempting. Many city housewives called to
supply their larders and the managers said that a
large quantity of goods was disposed of. The
coops of live chickens consisted of we'll bred birds
and were sold to farmer buyers.

insuring their packages. The money order busi-

sending out about 40 sacks of packages daily be-
sides a heavy letter mail There has been no de-
lay or confusion but the force of seven clerks,
deputy and one substitute has been going at
telling clip. During the holiday rush mail trains
