FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS SEEKING
TO PREVENT THRESH|NC LOSSES

A national grain threshing division
has been created under the federal
food administrator, Herbert C. Hoover.
The division is attached to the Ma.
tional Grain Corporation, which is
headed by J. H. Barnes, former grain
buyer of Duluth, and Capt. X. D.
HeQuembourg, with Offices at AZ Broad.
way, New York, will direct the affairs
of the division.
The aim is to organize the thresh-
ermen of the various grain states for
the purpose of saving every possible
kernel of grain in harvesting and
threshing operations.
D. B. Bassett of University Farm
has been appointed by the federal
food administrator for Minnesota to
have charge of the work in Mime
sofa. Mr.. Bassett requests the federal
food administrator of each county and
the county agricultural agent to select
a competent thresherman to act with
them as a county committee.
Threshermen to Sign Cards.
One of the first duties of the county
committee will be to furnish the state
office with complete list of thresh.
ermen who are actively engaged in
threshing in their county. Every
thresherman will be asked through
the county committee to sign a pledge
card and mail it to the federal food
Administrator. In return he will re.
ceive a certificate of membership
signed by HERBERT c. Hoover, the ma
tional food administrator The pledge
card and certificate will indicate that
the thresherman agrees to do all he
can to save grain and cooperate with
the administration.
Every man who expects to operate
a threshing rig in Minnesota this fall
Is urged to get his machine in first
class repair before starting to thresb.
Repairs will in many cases have to be
ordered from the factory. If the
threshermen will go over their ma
chimes this next week and get the
machines in firstclass running order,
they will be doing their part Thresh.
ing manufacturers and implement men
are very DESTROYS that orders for
repairs be- sent in Immediately 50 as
to give them time to get the repairs
out. Any trouble in securing repairs
should be reported to the county COM
mittee. If the county committee can.
not handle it it should then be re-
ferred to the state office.

Such was the condition at the Stock
yards and such was the condition that
the Equity Exchange true to it's fight
ing history, went into the field to CON-
bat and which it has conquered tc a
great extent
That the Equity has been success
full in it's fight is shown best in figures
that reveal that over $5,OOO,OOO worth
of cattle, sheep and hogs have been
handled there. There is not record
on the books of a dollar lost through
bad account and record increase is
shown with the ratio as high some
weeks as 100 per cent.
More than $4,000 pigs have been
shipped to Iowa, and the Corn Belt
through the Equity department and
farmers who have done business
through the Office are testifying to
their faith by continuing to have the
Equity handle their cattle.
These are some of the facts con-
corning the South St. Paul Office, also
some of the facts that will develop
from the Chicago agency to assure to
the benefit of farmers:

Mr. F. B. Wood, Manager,
Livestock Department,
Equity Cooperative Exchange,
South St Paul Mimi

South st. Paul, MINI.
Dear Sir:
Referring to the report that I shipped
you 1870 head of steers last September
and that I lost approximately 100000
on them, wish to state that this is not
true as to the first vart of the PROPOSE
ton.
l have never shipped you any cattle
at any time. The second part of the
proposition is true, and the facts are as
follows:
On or about the first day of Septem-
Der 1917 / shipped to South St. Paul
1870 head of steers, all branded with a
U bar on the right shoulder, same be-
ing a brand 1 use in Williams County,
North Dakota.
In making up my mind where to ship
these cattle l at once decided to ship
them to old friend of mine at South St.
Paul These steers would average about
900 lbs. on the first IS head, and prob
ably $50 lbs. or Whereabouts on the bal
ance.
1 arrived at the South St. Paul stock
yards at $50 a. NJ. on the day on which
the cattle were sold, and at once went
to the yards of the commission company.
l arrived there before the general mark
ct had opened up, or at least had appar-
emily opened up. When l came, l was
informed by my friend that he had sold
the cattle, to whom 1 did not know
That he had sold them at CTS for the
top end and 6.25 for the poor end, l was,
of course, surprised at the sale, but as
l had consigned them to him l did not
think at the time that l could stop the
SALE
l investigated the market, and found
on that day that the general run of pric-
es for the top end of my bunch was &c.
7 Tod TO Gr1
the cattle were and discovered that my
friend had sold them to speculator.
In company with Peter Knutson Of Will
Jams, N. D., l then went to the Specula-
tors yards and as he did not know me,
l looked over my own cattle and asked
him what he would take for them. He
said, Il have just sold them to a party
in Iowa for &c. I said, THAT is pref
ty good business: I just got SIS for
the same bunch" He said, well, of
course, l had to mix them with other
cattle to bring the grade up" I exam
ined the bunch and found that every
single steer in the pens had the U bar
brand on them, l said, "You know you
lie when you say you had to mix the
bunch because you couldn't brand them
and have the brands heal up on them
within one hour"
I have not calculated to the exact
figure just how much 1 lost on this
transaction. but approximately 100000
on the bunch.
then discovered that the spectators
make a regular business of making the
rounds of the stockyards early on mark
ct days and buying up all the cattle
they can buy, taking them over to their
pens and reselling them on the same day.
I presume, while I don't know, that
am not the only victim of the specula-
tors who operate on the South st. Paul
stock market.
Yours truly,
(Signed)) U. L. Burdick.

BAGGAGE FROM THE WRECKED
 SHIP OPENED
Twenty Trunks from the Wrecked Steamship So- phia Were Examined
 This Forenoon.

The twenty trunks and pieces of baggage picked up on the beach from the wrecked steamship Sophia, and which have been stored at the Pa cific Coast dock, were taken to the Hellenthal Building this morning and opened for Identification.
 George Simpkins was the officer in charge and Mort Truesdell, me chanic from the c. w. Young Co.,, was employed to open the trunks.
 The contents of a number of the trunks could not be identified, par effects, but most of the mems trunks contained letters addressed to the owners or other means of identifi cation.
 The effects in most of the trunks were completely ruined from the wa ter and oil, though it is believed that a number of rich fur sets and coats can be saved Many of the trunks contained handsome and val uable effects, such as cameras, val uable toilet sets, beautifully bound books and personal treasures.
 Several men from the Inside were present who had relatives and friends on board the ill-fated ship and posi- lively identified the effects of sev eral trunks.
 Among the womens' trunks was that of Mrs. Harry Bridges, letters and photographs of both she anf her husband being found in ths trunk and the effects identified b, | friends of theirs from the inside i Another trunk containing women'l i affects was thought to be that O mink skin coat and child's wearing apparel
 The trunk of Captain Locke wa. identified and one of the engineer! which contained letters and an engin eer's license in name of Edward J Johnson. The trunk of Thomas c Sanford q military man. contained military clothes and effects. Anoth CT was opened containing cancelled cheeks. The effects of Grant Mur dock was recognized by a receip from the Fairbanks Order of Eagles The names of Jerry c. Shaw. Franl Hagar and Herman L. Robinson wer, found in other trunks.
 All of the trunks were not opened at the time of going to press ant only a nasty examination of the con tents made so further investigation of the effects may bring the name of the owners.

MORE LOCAL CASES

A few cases of Spanish influenza have developed within the last 24 hours, but not so many as during the previous day. It is reported that the Russian Finn, who went to St. Ann's Hospital suffering from the disease, may die before they day is out.
 There are considerably more than 100 cases of influenza in Juneau.
 The local physicians say that if every case would go home with the first development of symptoms of all ment and remain there and take the proper remedies until thoroughly well, there is little liklihood of fatal ity. If this is not done there is grave danger. If the proper precau- tions are taken, the epidemic may be stamped out quickly If the prop CT precautions are not taken, the epidemic may continue for weeks and months.
 Will Remain Closed
 The Juneau Womans Club Gift Shop Committee announces that in order to assist in checking the spread of influenza the Gift Shop will remain closed until further no tice.
