A ccuse. Washington of Not
~ Helping Farmer Sufficiently

THE Kansas City Journal states that
Congress and its subsidiaries, the Depart
ment of Agriculture and Mr.. Hoover, are
to blame for the apathy Of the farmers in
the nations great emergency. 1.-THE Jour
nal" looks at the question this way:
INSTEAD Of actively taking some part in
food production. Washington confines its
entire attention to food conservation. The
nationa! government has not made an at
tempt to aid the farmer in obtaining seed
wheat or labor, which he needs most, but
has failed to provide . minimum price for
wheat, has absorbed all available steel in the
country, thereby putting the price Of agri-
cultural implements out OF sight, and then
has stolen labor from the farms"
The Oklahoman" treats the matter
under the heading. "Profteers-Not
Farmers" and says the demand for So
wheat is preposterous. Three dollar wheat
is only another name for famine, this
paper asserts, quoting and condemning
the resolution adopted by the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union

Hall admitted that he had asked
Waters to defer his examination of
his department and stated this was
after Walla had revealed a shortage
and while Hall was waiting for Wala
to return from hunting trip that he
might get the keys to the cash draw
err. When Walla returned, the witness
said, he admitted to Hall that the
shortage was larger than originally
stated and Hall waited until more
money could be raised before insist

Hall admitted that his letter to
Youmans, date Oct. 20, may not have
been written until Oct. 26, but knew
of no reason for predating his letter.
He originally said he asked Youmans
for the money because he did not
know whether he could get it from
Stutsman and later admitted that he
may have received the money from
Stutsman several days prior to his
writing to Youmans. He insisted
that he had cattle deal in mind west
of the river when he wrote Youmans,
but denied having stated over the
phone to Youmans that he wanted q
loan for the purchase of cattle.

three or four exceptions these have

All the prisoners are clothed in neat

Americanized Jap Got 80 Days.

Roy Yuki, the Americanized-Jap
who beat the Minot merchants out of
$500 by passing worthless checks,
pleaded guilty recently and was SEN
fenced Saturday to serve 80 days in
the county Jail, pay fine of 5000 and
in default of paying the fine serve 20
days additional. The Jap married a
white girl and this is probably the
reason he went wrong. Attorney
Coyle in addressing the jury prior to
the passing of the sentence stated that
the Jap's sister-in-law had forged a
number Of checks on his account and
for this reason the defendant did not
know just how much money he had in
the bank.
The charge aainst him was the
passing of check for $75 on bank
in which he did not have the funds.
For the check he got suit of clothes
from local store, some furnishings
and $25 in currency. 1t appears that
he made a general cleanup in the city,
getting about $500 out of the various
merchants.

THOS. HALL ACQUITTED
Takes Jury Only Ten Minutes to
Decide on Verdict

Bismarck, N. D., Tuesday. Dec. 25.
Thomas Hall, secretary of state of
North Dakota was acquitted Of en-
bezZlement of state funds here early
this morning, the jury having been out
just ten minutes.
The case was given to the jury at
1915 a. m. and at 1925 a. m. the jur-
ors announced that they had agreed.
They were called into the courtroom
and the verdict announced.
But two ballots were taken. The
first stood eleven to one for acquittal
and the second was unanimous.
The courtroom was filled, state Off
Gals and legislators remaining to hear
the result. After the verdict was
read. the Judge wished everybody a
Merry Christmas and all was over ex-
cept congratulations.
Mr.. Hall said that he believed the
state had been fair in it's prosecution
and that he held no bitter feeling
toward anybody as a result of the
trial. He shook hands with the jur-
ors and thanked them. Talking with
Assistant Attorney General Brennan
who prosecuted the case, Hall declar-
ed that he thought the prosecutor had
been fair and that no enmity existed
between them.
The verdict seemed to be a popular
one and the result had been generally
expected.
The trial reserved three of it's big
gest sensations for the closing hours.
Two of these were revealed in the tes-
timony of former Associate Justice E.
T. Burke, of the supreme court, the
last witness for the state, who, on
direct examination. testified that Hall
had come to his office the day follow
ing his arrest and had stated his in
tention of pleading guilty, but had
been dissuaded.
The third sensation of the even
ing was brought out by w. H. Suits
man when he produced, in addressing
the jury, check made out by Cover
nor Lynn J. Frazier to his private
secretary, Nelson A. Mason, which
had been cashed from the currency in
the automobile registration funds.
Thorpe devoted much of his adj
dress to the jury to an excoriation of
Judge Burke for his part in the prose-
cution. "At Darlington, rs years
ago, l helped elect this man Judge of
the fifth judicial district; for six long
years l practiced in his court, and I
helped elevate him to the supreme
court. have tried jury cases before
Judge Burke, and addressed him as
Your Honor" said Thorpe, in bit
ter attack on the former chief justice.
Thos. Hall was rigidly cross exam
med by Assistant Attorney General
Brennan yesterday morning in an eff
fort to prove that the defendant had
been more concerned in money rails
ing that Wall had, following the lat
ter's disclosure of shortage Deem
Der 16. Hall admitted that he had ap-
piled to Stutsman, Youman's and the
Huff bank at Sanger for loans and
that he possibly had already received
a $500 draft from w. H. Stutsman
when he wrote to the Minot banker.

GRASSLAND NEWS

Fred Muzzy and Carl Grindberg
were callers at the Abrahamsen home
last Monday evening.
Mr.. Nels o. Grasky has had very
bad luck of late. He had several
runaways last week and as a result
all his vehicles and bobsleds are
strung along the road from his home
to Minot. We hope Nels, you will
have better luck during the coming
new year.
We overheard Arnold Grindberg
and Leila Britton say that they hoped
there would be another entertainment
soon, with scarcity of seats. What's
the reason?
Henry, Richard, Bertha and Agnes
Abrahamsen were Minot visitors one
day last week.
We notice Ruby Nordhagen has
been more cheerful this week than
usual. Wonder why?.
Carl Grindberg and the Abraham
sen Bros. attended the entertainment
and oyster supper given at Logan,
Christmas eve. They report a very
enjoyable time.

CONVICT LABOR

Experiment Of Employing convicts on
Highways Has Proved Success In
Many States Both as Regards Work
Done and For Moral Effect Upon
Prisoners.
labor for road building was confined
almost exclusively to few Of the
southern states where, It Is safe to say,
the use Of this labor was planned with
the intention Of securing highway i'm
provements at little or no more cost
than was necessary for the housing and
feeding Of the prisoners in the prisons,
says George u. Steele In the Engineer
ing Record. In these early cases the
gang system was generally used, the
men working In stripes, usually in
chains and under guards who were
heavily armed. But state after state
has taken up tho utilization Of convict
labor In recent years, until it is now
common in all sections Of the country.
With the growth Of the use of this class
OF labor conditions from the prisoners
standpoints have improved materially,
though there is still room for much
moro improvement.
In 1915 an experimental camp was
established in Fulton county, Ga, where
investigations and studies were carried
out relative to convict labor. The av-
erage population Of the camp since it
