FARMER LEGISLATURE
HOPES TO PUT PROGRAM
THROUGH IN THREE YEARS

BISMARCK, n. D.. Feb. 19.-North
Dakotas farmer legislature is not 60
ing to get for its farmer constituents
all the things it set out to get. This
was apparent today. But they have
soften and will get a good deal, just
the same. The session ends March
Holdover senators mussed up tht
program the farmers had planned fol
the 1917 session. These senators haC
been elected for four years under the
old regime. They will be out in 1919
when the farmers hope to control The
house and senate. This year they have
only the house, whose members are
elected biennially.
1t will therefore be at least 1926
before the farmers legislation is com
pleted. 1t may even be 1921 before il
is enacted. Stated owned terminal ell
eyators. state owned -four mills, state
owned cold storage plants, state hal
insurance, exemption of farm i'm
provements from taxation, state in.
spection dockage and grading of grain
and rural credit banks operated by
the state, are things the farmer legis-
lators still seek to get.
If farmers get through this pro
gram, eventually, they will still fight
to retain sufficient control of the
state legislature, to prevent repeal OF
the laws they have enacted and tc
prevent persons unfriendly to their
cause, being placed in control of these
utilities.

OUR SPLENDID VINOL
Quickly Stopped Mr.. Clark's Hang-On
Cough.

We have seen right here in Americas,
such wonderful results from the use
OF Vinol in such cases, that we agree
to return the money to anyone who
tries it and does not get the same re-
suit Mr.. Clark did. He says:
Il used Vinol for chronic cough
and hard cold which it seemed im-
possible to get rid of. At nights /
would cough violently so l couldn't
sleep l rearned about Vinol through
a friend who had used it at the house
where l am living, and the result of its
use in my case was that the hard cold
was soon we'll and the chronic cough
disappeared in very short order" F.
J. Clark, 8 Pearl ST., Amsterdam, N. Y.
It's the beef and cod liver peptones,
iron and manganese peptonates and
glycerophosphates contained in Vinol
that makes it such successful remedy
for chronic coughs, sold and bron-
chitis. Try it on our guarantee.

stuffs, in the public warehouses has
actually increased % per cent, being
$4,000 tons against $4,000. The
present stocks are the largest in the
history of the docks of London.
As compared with pre-war times, the
traffic of the port of London has in
creased from $4,000 tons in 1913 to
1,S29,0O for the corresponding period
this year.
The detailed report indicates in
ereases in receipts of most articles OF
food. Wheat, sugar, rice. cheese, and
cocoa, all show an improvement. Meat
and tea show decrease.
The supply of timber is of next i'm
portance to foodstuffs, says the report
Difficulty in handling has been acute
in this respect, owing largely to the
enlistment of one-third of the 700
lumber porters who handle and stack
the timber after it has been discharged
by the stevedores.
The irregularity of the arrival OF
Undertaken ships has also been a
trying factor. A few days ago thir-
teen timber vessels arrived at the
docks on single tide. But in spite
of such difficulties, the stock of timber
at the docks has increased from about
100000 tons to more than 100000 tons
Much of the work of the docks is
now being done by soldiers from some
of the numerous laborers battalions
specially recruited for work of this
kind here and in France.

LONDON PORT HAS
KEPT UP AVERAGE

LONDON, Feb. 19-"The returns of
the Port of London for the past eight
months will not encourage the hopes
OF the Germans of starving London or
running its trade by the deprecations
of submarines" says the latest report
of the Port of London Authority on
conditions at the great London docks.
The tonnage entering and leaving
the port shows substantial decrease
as compared with the preceding year,
but the quantity of goods actually I'M
loaded shows decrease of only three
percent, the tonnage being 1.S29,O00
this year as compared with 1,885,000
last year. Prohibitions on the import
of several classes of merchandise have
been in force during this period, and
have undoubtedly affected the figures
appreciably.

DISEASE KILLING
CATTLE THROUGHOUT STATE

ATHENS, Ca, Feb. ia disease
which has resulted in the death of a
number of cattle on farms in the
southwestern part of the state has
been reported to the College of Agri-
culture at Athens. The disease caus-
Jig the death of the cattle was not
understood by local veterinarians, and
request was made that the college
send an expert to diagnose the dis
case. DR.. w. NJ Burson, head of
the veterinary division of the college,
responded to the call.
Specimens of the diseased organs
and parts of the diseased animals
were secured by DR.. Burson. These
are now the subject of microscopic and
meteorological investigations in the
laboratories of the college. 1t is be-
lieved these investigations will re-
suit in obtaining definite information
concerning the cause of the disease
and open the way to the successful
stamping out of the trouble.
In most cases the cattle have died
very suddenly, and these losses have
greatly discouraged the owners of sew
eral large herds When the investi-
cations are completed and the dag
nosis confirmed definite instructions
will be given for the control of the
disease.
