WILSON SIDESTEPPED.
DECLARES KNUTSOV

In interviews obtained by repre-
sentatives of the press associations
regarding the presidents recent ad-
dress to congress, Congressman Knut-
son of the Sixth district, Minnesota,
said: ..
During the life of this congress
President Wils0n has delivered sew
eral strong messages, but the one
delivered today cannot be classified
as such. AS an essay 1t was admir-
able--as a message from the chief
executive of the greatest nation on
earth it was a lamentable attempt
to sidestep and evade the questions
in which the American people are
vitality interested. President Wilson
evidently has forgotten that he and
congress are but the servants of a
free people, who are entitled to full
information on the great questions
now confronting lis, more especially
on how he expects to apply his four
teen peace, points. -

POLITICAL PULL FREES
AIRPLANE GRAFTERS

Washington, Dec. 4.--Lieut. Coils
J. G. Vincent and George w. Mixer,
army officers named by Charles e.
Hughes in his report on the aircraft
investigation as having been guilty Of
transacting business with private
concerns in which they were finan-
cially interested, have been pardoned
by President Wilson.
An announcement from the White
House said the president believes that
the two gentlemen concerned were
entirely innocent Of any improper or
selfsh intentions, that their guilt
was only technical, and that their
services to the government, which
have been of the highest value and Of
the most disinterested sort, deserve a
most cordial recognition.
No action against Colonel Vincent
or Colonel Mixter has been taken by
the department of Justice, and the
granting of full pardons to them was
recommended to the president by At
,torney General Gregory, who took up
their cases in seperate letters to the
president. These letters were made
public last night.

u THE farm bureau represents a
definite plan of organization for each
agricultural county in the United
States. It is fostered and supported
by the United States department OF
agriculture and by the agricultural
colleges Of the different states. The
farm bureau is the recognized Off
cial organization with which these
federal and state Institutions Will CO.
operate in all extension work to be
done. Cooperation and organization
are the key notes of present day
progress. The farmers Of the various
states and other taxpayers have sup
ported for yearsothe great depart
ment of agriculture at Washington
and the state agricultural colleges
and experiment. stations. These in
stitutions have worked for years and
are still working on problems con-
nected with farming and farm life.
Until recently these institutions have
been like manufacturing plants that
turned out great quantities OF pro-
ducts without means for selling ex-
