POULTRY PLANT FOB HIGH
ScHOn1,

The high school at Grove City,
Meeker county, is to have as feat.
ure of its work in agriculture, a mod
Ell poultry farm. This is to be used
not only as laboratory for the study
Of poultry raising but is to be made
paving enterprise.
This at least is the idea in the mind
of Max Treu, instructor in agriculture.
who was at University Farm, St. Paul.
a few days ago buying stock for his
poultry farm. Mr.. Treu saws that he
has between three and four acres
fenced and four houses in readiness.
three of these being colony houses and
one a house 12x4s feet. Studies of
all the leading breeds will be made.
Grove City is a rich dairy country.
and Mrs. Treu believes that poultry
raising fits in admirably with dairy
ing. That is his reason for putting
special stress on poultry in his courses.
ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES
Apples and potatoes should not be
stored in the same cellar as the apples
will soon take On the flavor of the
potatoes.
Celery should be stored in a cool,
well ventilated cellar. It is often
stored in cold frame, covered with
boards and straw, to prevent freezing.
A good time to get rid Of few rab.
bits about the orchard is after the first
snowfall. Organize a hunt and get a
few Of them before they injure the
fruit trees. They are good to eat at
this time.
It will soon be time to cut cions of
apple trees for use in grating next
year. Store these in sand or sawdust.
They should neither become dry
enough to shrivel nor moist enough to
start growth.

Mr.. HUGHES ANSWERS.
Those Who CIamored for His Views
Are Hearing Them

Those friends of Democracy who
clamored so loudly for Mr.. Hughes
opinions upon current issues while
he still held the high Office of justice
of the supreme court, are now fully
answered by the private citizen, who
surrendered his judicial position to
accede to the wishes of a majority of
the people as expressed through their
Instructions to their delegates to the
Republican national convention.
Mr.. Hughes has not disappointed
those who have reposed confidence in
his character and judgment. In his
speech Of acceptance he has clearly
set forth the vital issues upon which
the Republican party proposes to
conduct the campaign this fall. On
the platform he is telling the nation
wherein the present administration
has been at fault and what is neces.
sary to be done to restore the United
States to the place of respect and
honor to which it is entitled in the
eyes Of the world.

PROHIBITION IS BIG
ISSUE IN MINNESOTA
{ By United Press)

Fairmont, Minn., Sept. 15-"Pro-
hibition will be the overshadowing
issue-the all consuming issue-in
Minnesota as long as there is a sa-
loon in the state," Frank A. Day told
the United Press today.
Day knows politics. Leader of the
Democratic insurgency party in Min
nesota for many years, he has more
recently thrown his influence to the
prohibition and county option issues.
Day is given credit through the state
with having perhaps done more work
outside the 1916 legislature, than any
other one man, for the passage of the
county option law. Day is editor of
the Martin County Sentinel and the
FairmOnt Sentinel.

CHANCELLOR upheld
ON U-bOAT WARFARE
National Radicals Endorse Course
Of Won Bethmann-H0uWe9

Berlin, Nov. 14.-The executive
committee Of the National Radical
party yesterday concluded a two
days session here devoted to a dis
cussion of the party policy in the
past and outlining tactics for it's rep
resentatives in the Reichstag in the
future.
The committee adopted, with one
dissenting voice, resolution approx
ing the action of it's Reichstag repre-
sentatives, who supported the imper-
ial chancellor almost solidly during
the recent crisis, and condemning in
trigues against the chancellor.
A feature Of the meeting was a
long report by Herr Friedrich. Won
Payer, the South German radical lead
er in the Reichstag on the parliament
tary activities of the party in the last
year.
Herr Won Payer discussed the sub
marine crisis without mincing words.
He arraigned the conservatives and
Pan-Germans for their attempt to get
rid Of an announcement chancellor
by means Of an ostensibly patriotic
agitation. He said the government
had displayed no lack of force in
combating the movement for unre-
strlcted submarine warfare, although
this was supported not only by the
conservatives and Pan Germa ans, but
also by volunteers from othe parties,
including individual radicals, who
patrlotlcally believed that it was ne
cessary to wage war against England
with all available weapons, even at
the cost Of provoking a crisis in the
chancellorship.
The agitation against the chancellor
and in favor Of unrestricted subma-
rine warfare, said Herr Won Payer,
had passed the flood and lost much
Of its interest. now that two candi
dates for DR.. Won -Holl-
weg's shoes, Admiral Won Tirpritz and
General Won Falkenhayn, had been
eliminated through their own fault
and the course of fate. The Reichstag
had decided to place the submarine
policy in the hands of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg.
GUM in the Reichstag committee last
week, Herr Won Payer said:
Nobody now desires to annex it;
nobody even desires to seem to have
ever wished to annex it. 1t will there
fore probably remain a sovereign
state. On the other hand, nobody de-
sires conditions to remain as before
the war. The danger that Belgium
will become a stamping ground for
British domination must be counter
acted

ton Railways Company, Ltd. The
sale was made at the request of the
British treasury officials to facilitate

terest were Baron Emile Beaumont
d'Erlanger, who is chairman of the
board Of the New Orleans and North

and Pacific Junction Railway has been
operated in close association with
lines of the Southern railway and Of
the Queen and Crescent. The COM

burg railway, 143 miles; the New Or
leans and Northeastern railroad, 1876
miles and the V1cksburg, Shreve-
port and Pacific railway, 1873 miles
The total mileage is SGT.
These railroads extend from New
Orleans, La, to Meridian, Miss, and
from there to Shreveport, La, and
have been operated in connection with
the Alabama Great Southern, which
is controlled by the Southern railway,
and the Cincinnati, New Orleans and
Texas Pacific, which runs from Gin
cinnati, Ohio, to New Orleans and
Shreveport, La.

capitalists have just sold also had
