city, inspected sites here Tuesday Tor

A number of sites were shown the
visitors and, as in the cases OF all
who have come before, very fav-
orable impression was made. one
feature of the investigation that
seemingly had strong influence for
good. was that the committee were
able to present to the investigator
agreements from all Of the owners
of the locations as to prices ana
| terms.
| Mr. Walbridge has visited num-
her of locations throughout the
state, many Of which he praised
very highly. 1t was suggested TO
him that the best had been saved tor
the last. Mr. Walbridge is con-
spicuous for the minimum amount
of words used in mis- business deal
ings, so it came as considerable
surprise the local men when ne
replied without hesitation: "Well
Sir. / believe you are right"
ut looks to me-, said Col. Ste
yens." that it is not so much prop
osition as to the POINT of location
as it is a judicious selection OF one
Of the many excellent sites you havt
here"

SHIPPER TESTIFIES
BEFORE COMMISSION
Tells of "Shrinkage" of
1000 Pounds in One
Load of Hogs
(By Associated Press.l

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 16.-North-
west cattle shippers suffered a loss
of $7,072,S57 in 1915 because OF the
difference between the South st.
Paul market and the Chicago mar
ket, A. N. Craighead, a Sherburne
county shipper, testified before the
federal trade commission here to-
day.
Regarding the difference between
the South st. Paul market and the
Chicago market, Mr.. Craighead said
his information led to a different
conclusion from that reached by
John II. Bangs, resident manager for
Swift & Co. who testified yesterday
that the South st. Paul market is
usually only rs cents lower. Mr..
Craighead offered a series of figures,
taken from market reports. he said,
which showed that the hog market
here from Sept. %, 1917, to Jan. IS,
1918, was approximately 60 cents
under the Chicago market.
He testified that during the year
1915, hogs averaged $1.20 per head
less, cattle IS per head less, calves
$3.50 per head less and sheep 81 per
head less on the South st. Paul mar
ket than on the Chicago market.
FG6u ana 0VTAWN@9gH
Francis J. Heney, attorney for the
commission, questioned Mr.. Craig
head regarding feed, which is fur
nished by the South st. Paul stock
market, and the shrinlage in hogs
and cattle shipping there.
Mr.. Craighead in this connection,
told of a shrinkage OF 1000 pounds
in a load of hogs.
ION one OCCASION" Mr.. Craighead
said, Il notice the hogs were not
eating their I'LL, and the corn was
not good. / went to the office of
President Magivny, of the South st.
Paul Stock Yards Co, and told him
would bring suit If the matter
were not adjusted. He made out
check to me, after first treating the
matter as a joke, and asked me not
to say anything to the other ship
pers."
Mr.. Heney interrupted the testi-
mony to say that the federal trade
commission is so empowered that 1t
may correct any practices brought |
to it's attention., which in the tudg- |
ment of the commission is unfair.

Early to Bed Is
Motto Followed
BY Bostonians
(By Associated Press.l

Boston, Jan. 16.-Boston went to
bed earlier than usual last night,
slept later today, and showed general
and cheerful compliance with early
closing and late opening regulations
made in the hope of conserving fuel.
Fuel Administrator StorTow's order
for 10 o'clock closing was more wide
ly observed last night than on Mon
day. Without exception curtains In
the leading theaters were rung
down before 1905 o'clock, while mo-
ton picture houses were dark If
teen minutes earlier.
The streets were more or less de-
serted by IL o'clock, the closing Of
at the same hour as picture
theaters having sent the crowds
home much earlier than heretofore.
News stands and drug stores were
open for the sale of drugs and news
papers. but cigars and cigarets could
not be obtained at any price. Barber
shops also were closed until 8 o'clock
this morning.

would not carry him very far.
Mrs. Hagar has rather specialized
on turkey raising during the last
two years, having found that there
Is more money in these birds than
in chickens. Contrary to the opin-
ion OF some. she does not consider
turkey raising as hard as chicken
raising, because. as she explained"
after they are once Matched they are
not so much trouble"
The average number of chickens
raised by this Tower City woman is
from 300 TO 400, the number falling
lower than usual last year because
the badgers got so many Of them. She
averages from rs to 100 turkeys a
year.
