CONGRESSMAN CLASH
Representatives Norton and Het.
lin Have Fight In House.
Are Separated When Serpeant-at-Armu
Appears With Mace-No Damage
to Either.

Washington, Oct. As a climax
to Representative Helms charges OF
~disloyalty against certain of his col
leagues which have kept congress ex.
cited for the past few days, he and
Representative Norton of North Da
kota came together in a physical clash
on the floor of the House.
The collision occurred just after Mr..
Norton had been denied unanimous
consent to discuss the report of the
committee on rules which refused to
investigate Helms accusations. Mr..
Norton sat down for a moment. then
walked over to the democratic side,
where Hefin was seated alone, and
made some remarks in a low tone.
Men Fall In cIinch.
Helm Immediately arose. replied
heatedly to the North Dakotan, and
then showed him a few feet down the
aisle. Norton recovered his balance
and vigorously pushed Hefin back
about twice the distance he had been
showed. The men then clinched and
fell to the floor. Norton on the bottom.
The house was in nproar and nearby
congressman tried to drag the belli-
gerents apart. Finally the sergeant.
alarms rushed forward with his mace
and the men were separated and es.
corted to the cloakrooms In the real
OF the house.

but falls a little short of the CORE
spending time a year ago.
Strain of heavy receipts and unfa-
vorable advices from outside centers
caused a lower trend to values on
most classes of cattle. In the killer
branch the decline on the medium to
plain kinds figures 25 a soc. while
exceptions are noted on the choice
grades of heavy western steers, can
ners and cutters, bulls and veals.
Country demand has not been suf-
ficient to give dealers a good clear
sion. Decline has been uneven for
the six-day period, with common
kinds showing the greatest cut.
Sheep and lamb market is closing
a little stronger as a result of mod
Grafton in supplies around the mar
ket circuit.
Hog trade weakened after a steady
start here today and late business
was rated as mostly 5M10c lower.

the bulk of sales covered a spread

RAISE MORE HOGS

The Northwest is fortunately
situated in that it has the climate
and soil to raise crops that will
produce an enormous amount of
hogs and we believe that the hog
is the backbone of this section.
We realize the drop that will
take place in most all commodi-
ties that are soaring skyward at
the present time, but being ia
vored by nature as the Northwest
is, if we study the conditions of
affairs, the man who is raising
hogs is bound to make no mis-
take.
If it should be the destiny OF
the United States to enter the
European war, many people do
not believe it will last until the
end of the coming summer. The
conclusion OF the war means an
immediate drop in the price of
wheat, for Russia is reported to
have three crops which will be
released to the world at the close
of the conflict. Hogs, in the
opinion of all traders, are sure to
remain high for the next two or
three years.
Particularly from the nations
now at war, pork will be in great
demand. Early in the war Ger
many slaughtered her hogs im
order that she would not have to
feed the grain needed for her
armies. The shortage of pork in
the other countries is nearly as
bad and they will have to depend
upon America for the next few
years, until their herds can be
rebuilt. Live Stock Reporter.
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1917-04-06

With war virtually staring us
in the face and the inability of
any man to say how long it may
last, it behOoves the people of our
nation to give serious thought to
the necessity of producing every
thing possible in the food line
during the coming season. Ev-
cry vacant lot and tract should be
made to grow vegetables or grain
and summerfallowing of land
should be forgotten. This, coun-
try is wofully short of many art
icles in the food line even now
and, with the present high prices
and the demand that will come
with the mobilization of our
armies, it stands US in hand to
grow the greatest crops of food
stuffs this year that our country
has ever produced.

The cost of grub's beyond all
pardon; it makes me rend my
buds; and so this year I'll have a
garden, and raise my greens and
spuds. Like others | have form
ed the habit of buying all my
eats, from cauliflower to potted
rabbit, from succotash to beets.
My spreading lawn has been de-
voted to grass, but after this it
will be coated with blooming gar
den sas. I cannot eat the lovely
roses, that scent the countryside;
they are gratifying to our noses,
but are no good when fried. If l
should boil a mess of lilies in
place of cabbage head, the dish
would give my guests the willies
and set them seeing red. buy
my cabbage from the grocer; my
tulip bulbs l raise, and that is
why the wolf draws closer and
bowls these dismal days; This
year I'll raise my prunes and on
ions on these, my fertile lands,
and ply the hoe until l have bun
ions upon my snow-white hands.
