Kandiyohi
UNITED Press Dispatch.]

st. Paul, Mimi, January ga
prohibition amendment was intro
duced in the senate today by Sena-
tor P. A. Gandrud of Kerkhoven

lied city, village or borough.

ANSWER THE ALLIES
WITH SHOW Of ARMS
That Is the Way the People OF
Germany Feel Toward
Enemies
UNITED Press Dispatch.l

Berlin, Germany, January 81
Some announcement is understood
to have been cabled today by Am
bassador Gerard to President Will
son from Berlin. 1t is known that
the American ambassador has just
had lengthy conference with the
German chancellor, DR.. Won Beth
mann Hollweg. A newspaper cor
respondent afterwards saw the
American ambassador and asked
him if he could tell what had taken
place between himself and the
chancellor. He replied with smile:
Lots of interesting things but he
did net give the desired information.
1t is believed, however, that the
conversation had to do with the
note received from the allies in re-
ply to Germany's peace proposals.
The leading German newspapers
are a unit in declaring that Ger
many's only proper answer to the
reply received from the allies, is
an answer by arms, vigorous pros
ecutions of the war. This seems,
indeed, to be the unanimous feeling
of the German people, as is evil
denced by the talk that one hears
on the Strt~tS.

Last Evening

Mrs. G.. R. Hair died last evening

the ailments attendant upon old age

Reuben Nelson of Wyoming Semin-
airy, and later similar request from
the Methodist Book Concern of New
York, Mr.. Hair united with the Wy
oming Conference, where he remain
ed for over twenty years, until at his
own request he was transferred to
the Minnesota Conference. During
all those years it was the devoted
wife's great pleasure to assist her
husband in his work by teaching in
the Sunday school. and taking an ac-
tive part in all church affairs, and
also in religious work among the I'M

in Duluth.
Duluth, January 3.-Duluth, in al
probability, will have another "wet''
and "dry" election on Tuesday, April
3rd.
This is the day when Mayor Prince
and Commissioners Voss and Merritt
come up for reelection to the city
commission and the decision to hold
the initiative vote on a new liquor
code on the same day was made to-
day by officials. of the Duluth Retail
Liquor Dealers association.
This morning petitions proposing g
new liquor code and requesting that
it be submitted "to vote Of the peo-
pie at general election" were placed
in circulation and representatives Of
the liquor men are now out getting
signatures. The petitions must have
signatures equaling in number to 1C
per cent of the vote cast at the last
preceding regular municipal election
The last regular election was held or
April 6, 1915, when Commissioners
Silberstein and Farrell were elected
and the total ballot cast at that time
1928, will stand as the basis fol
checking the initiative petitions. This
means that a total of 1928 signatures
will be needed.

PROFIT FOR FARMER
FIGURED TO PENNIES
Generally Ahead of Game and
City Man Always Behind,
Is the Claim

st. Paul, January 3.-The average
Minnesota farmer makes $3.50 a year
profit, over and aobve his living ex-
penses.
This statement was made and
demonstrated by figures by F. w
Peck, instructor in farm manage
ment, in an address to farmers at
tending the farmers and homemak-
ers' short course at university farm
today.
Of the $3.50 profit the average farm
er will spend 1927 on his family, the
speaker declared.
while these figures do not show
large profits, think they demonstrate
the average farmer is better off finan-
cially than the average city man,
said Mr. Peck, "for l think the aver
age city man is just little behind
his living expenses the year around
"But what would happen to the
farmer if he lived as the average city
man does? What if the former went
to shows and wore. as good. clothes
as the: lefty .pian*.' asked a
farmer in the :audience: - =.
"Then he. could. not farml". replied
.GHr.: 'Beck... - =, e.. =: -
=. The cattle. feeding. BUSINESS is a
gamble, Mr.. Peck said. He advised his
hearers not to venture into it. He also
said there is not much profit in hogs
at nine cents when corn is worth so
cents.
The farmers margin of profit in his
business comes largely through the
reduced cost of living on the farm,
the speaker said. The reason for this
cheaper living, he explained, is the
lack of profit -making and lack of
cost in distribution of the things the
farmer and his family eat.

NEFORE FRISCO JURORS
Is Charged With Having Hand
In Bomb Plot Day of

Bourke Cochran, Noted New
York Lawyer, Appears for
The Defense
Contention That All the Defend
ants Are Innocent of This
Bold Crime
UNITED Press pisnatch.1

san. Francisco, January 3.-With
w. Bourke Cochran occupying the
spotlight as chief counsel for the de-
tense, the second trial resulting from
the preparedness parade dynamiting
here began in superior court today.
Thomas j. Mooney, alleged leader
OF the four men and one woman ac-
cused of having plotted to place the
bomb which exploded in the midst of
paraders on July last, killed ten per-
sons and injured fifty, was on trial
for his life.
The presence of Cochran has drawn
the attention of the country to the
trial in much the same way that
Clarence Darrow's activity in the de-
Tense of the Mcnamara brothers drew
the country's attention to that trial
five years ago.

que which is conducting the defense.
Indicted with Mooney as code
PENDANT is his wife, Rena Mooney, a
music teacher and strike organizer,
Thomas Mooney, leader of the defen-
dants, was active in spreading strike
propaganda and had planned to cause
general strike of United Railway
platform men here short time be-
fore the fatal Preparedness Day par
ade
1t was alleged by the prosecution
that the bomb had been set to explode
at time when non-union employees
of the street railway lines would pass
the point, where the bomb had been
placed at Stewart and Market
streets but that a delay in the start
of the parade upset the plans of the
dyEamiters.
What Defense Contends.
The defense declares all the defen-
dants are innocent and are victims of
circnmstantial evidence. Mooney
surrendered to the police after read
ing newspaper statements that he
was implicated in the crime. He was
stopping at summer resort at that
time.
The case has been featured by sew
eral alleged confessions which were
later refuted A number of photo
graphs taken on the day of the pre-
paredness parade are held by both
sides as evidence.
The trial opened in superior Judge
Frank P. DInne's chambers. District
Attorney Charles M Fickert and a
corp of deputies represent the prose-
cution while Cochran and Maxwell
McNutt, represent the defense.

doubt now that in official circles the
view is taken that it was Germany's
desperate situation that led her to
make the peace proffers to the al

,termining on the answer to the
peace note of President Wilson.
There is plenty of information to
substantiate the view that the sit
uation of Germany is desperate. The
German government keeps up its
bombastic talk, but the allies see
plainly that the central empires are
in bad plight and see no other
way out of their dilemma than the
conclusion of peace on some kind Of
terms. Such appears to be. the
feeling in Great Britain as voiced by
the leading newspapers.

APPLICATION IS DENIED
Railroads in Minnesota Cannot Rails
the Demrrage CHARGES
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.J

IASSOc1ated Press DIspatch.J
st. Paul, January 3.-The order
denying the application of the Min
nesota railroads for permission to
increase the demurrage charges. for
all intra state traffic was being pre-.
pared today by the state railroad
and warehouse commission. The
main finding is that the chief diff
ficulty of the carriers and shippers
is to obtain cars, and in the opin-
ion of the commission, higher de-
murrage rates will not relieve the
situation.
