CANNERIES FACE
CROP SHORTAGE
Beans, Peas and Tomatoes are Ne
elected for Wheat and Potatoes

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah.-So
great an acreage of wheat and pota-
toes has been planted turnout the
state, to the, neglect of beans, peas
and tomatoes, according to a report
issued by R. w. Eardley, secretary
of the Manufacturers association Of
Utah, that unless the farmers turn
their attention at once to a greater
production of the latter, great
number of the canneries of the state
will be compelled to remain idle.
According to reports from various
parts of the state, greater acreage
than ever is being planted to wheat
and potatoes.
From all of the canning districts
comes the report that the acreage of
products suitable for canning is un-
usually small, effort generally hav-
ing been directed to wheat and pota-
toes. 1t is reported that the can
ners of Weber and Box Elder coun-
ties are short at least 1000 acres.
If something is not DONE" it is
declared in the report of the manu-
facturers' association, "it will mean
that thousands of dollars worth of
valuable machinery will be tied up
during all or part of the present sea-
son and in addition the state will not
furnish it's normal amount of some
of our most valuable crops. By COM
parison we have no crops which are
more important or more valuable
than peas, beans, tomatoes and cab
bage, and the food value from an
acre is equal and in many cases
greater than the food values of the
crops which have been so strongly
urged during the past few weeks. y
The Manufacturers Association Of
Utah is now sending out letters to in
fluential citizens in the canning dis
tricts urging them to arouse the peo-
pie to the necessity of Immediately
planting additional canning crops,
and suggesting that the association
will be pleased to cooperate in secur-
ing sufficient tomato plants for all
the available acreage.

MIR. WOODS DENIES DOG STORY
Blackfoot, Ida, May 1, 1917.
Editor Idaho Republican,
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
I desire a small space in your
paper to correct some statements
made by your Thomas correspondent
and published in your paper of April
27. The statements to which ex-
captions are taken are: First: The
writer states that "they' were wit
ness to the shooting Of the dog by
Constable Broadhead. The evidence
at the trial discloses, by the writer's
own testimony that if a witness it
away and the writer stated under
oath that nothing of this difficulty
of the shooting was seen by the writ
err; further, the writer well knew
by the proceedings at the trial that
the dog that was killed had been
wearing a muZZle for several days,
and that it had just been turned
loose to be fed, and that it was not
in the road at all, according to the
testimony of all the witnesses who
testified to this fact, except the con-
stable, at the time the constable
came, and the evidence conclusively
showed that D. G. Wood was obeying
the. law in keeping the dog tied up
and that the killing was a wanton
act of one who just wanted to show
his authority, instead of one who
wanted to do his duty. am about
70 years old and this is the first
time that I have been arrested for
any offense, and it is certainly not
relished to be put in an unjust light
before the public in the way l have
been by the Thomas correspondent.
vs. Very truly yours,
D. c. WOOD.

GERMANS DISAGREE ON

Berlin Mob so Menac1ng That Ma
chine Guns Were Turned ON
the People
Dispatches from Amsterdam indi-
cate that there is trouble in Ger
many over the governments peace
plans. Bethmann-Hollweg has main
tanned silence for so long in face
of demands made by socialists that
no territory or indemnity be sought,
that a great unrest is being shown
by the various parties. There are
the "big annexationists" and the
little annexationists," those who
wish Germany to have indemnity,
and the socialists who do not.
1t seems that the socialists are
endeavoring to make Bethmann-
Hollweg disclose his peace policy,
and at that, upon lines that could be
used in an international peace con-
ference.
On the other hand there is a mod
crate party which believes in taking
all that they can get in territory and
they are accusing Hollweg of being
weak in the knees.
It is reported that the riOting in
Berlin became so serious that it was
necessary to use machine guns to
hold the mob in check.

supported the Evjue bill and thereby
truly represented the majority Of their
constituents, the committee hold; but
the governors attitude. they declare,
is not to be tolerated The committee
instructed Mr. Hawks to apprise the
governor that his presence here as the
speaker of the day would not be re-
quired.
Mr.. Hawks has personally known
Governor Philip for years and since
the latter became prominent in poll
tics he has been one of his warm sup
porters, but he freely expresses his
surprise and disappointment at the
governors attitude on this referendum
bill.

the city or park officials for that pur-
pose, and this means there will prob
ably be some special legislation in
order to comply with the terms Of
the will. A conference has been had
at Madison and the question has been
discussed with the attorney general.
The staff of the law reference library
has been consulted and statute is
being constructed to cover the case.
The heirs to the estate are not oppos-
ing the turning of the money over to
the town of Baraboo, but the court
must know whether or not the money
is to be legally expended. The ques-
ton will come before the county judge
at Madison next month and action
may be delayed on account of the un-
certainties surrounding the case.
Those interested in the project feel
certain the road cannot be built this
year, as the money will not be availa-
BILE in time On the other hand, ma
terial has greatly advanced in price
and it may be necessary to make

R|NGL|NGS PUT
Up NAVY PAPER
Publicity Given and Recruiting
Stimulated Through the Efforts
of Baraboo Circus

Through the cooperation of Charles
Ringing, of Ringing Brothers, the
famous firm of showmen, widespread
bill-posting campaign of u. S. Navy
posters is being made all along the
circus route. Not only is the circus
putting the paper out by it's bill post
ers on the advance cars three and two
weeks ahead Of the play dates, but
the Ringing Brothers are also fur
nishing the bills, SO that the patriotic
service to the government and it's
navy is complete. The billing used
is a handsome strowbridge one-sheet
showing Admiral Farragut standing
in the shrouds of his gallant flagship
urging his men and feet on to victory.
Beneath is an appealing inscription to
young men to enlist in the navy, the
first line of defense Which is now in
active conflict with the enemy. The
publicity bureau of the United States
navy, located in New York city, is
particularly pleased with this gener-
Gus cooperation, in that circus bill
ing reaches a part of the country and
the class of young men who are espe-
cially desired. With the systematic
and thorough billing facilities of the
Ringing Brothers, it's posters reach
radius of twenty-five to forty miles
of the town where the show is to ex-
hibit. The Ringing Brothers have
also made arrangements for informa-
tion booths and tents and recruiting
stations on the lots of the Ringing
and Barnum & Bailey circuses.

PORTAGE CASE
At LA CROSSE

A deputy United States marshal
visited Portage and Anackei' few
days since and served subpoenas on
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1917-06-06

In which to clear the train, but at the
critical instant the young woman APP
parently changed her mind and tried
TO stop the big car short Of the cross
Ing. The effort was unsuccessful,
When the stop was made, the front
wheels Of the roadster were precisely
In the middle Of the main track, and
the motor was killed.
BY this time Smith had thrown his
coat away and wns racing the backing
train, with the ex-grade.laborer a poor
second a dozen yards to the rear. Hav-
ing ridden In the roadster, Smith knew
TINT II had no self-starter. Jump"
he yelled. "Get out Of the car 7! and
then his heart came into his mouth
when he saw that she was struggling
to free herself and couldn't; that she
was entangled In some way behind the
low-hung tlller wheel.
Smith was running fairly abreast of
the caboose when he made this discov-
cry, and the hundred feet of clearance
had shrunk to fifty. In Imagination
he could already zee the gray car over
turned and crushed under the wheels
of the train. In flying squirt he
gained few yards on the advancing
menace and hurled himself against

that the three ioaded cars had been
set out, and the forward section Of the
train was now backing to make the
coupling with the standing half. He
hoped that the tralnmen had seen the
automobile, and that they would not
attempt to make the coupling until
after the gray car had crossed behind
the cabOose. But In the same breath
he guessed, and guessed rightly. that
they were too far around the curve to
be able to see the wagon-road ap-
proach.
/, Smith saw the young woman check
the speed for the abrupt turn ut the
bottom Of the hill, saw the car take the
turn in a skidding slide, heard the re-
newed roar of the motor as the throttle
was opened for run at the embank-
ment grade. Then the unexpected
dropped IFS bomb. There was jan
Cling clash and the cars on the main
track were set in motion. The train
men had failed to make their coupling,
and the rear half Of the train was surg
ing down upon the crossing.
Smiths shout, or the sight Of the on
coming train, one of the two, or both,
put the finishing touch on the young
woman's nerve. There was still time
