DAKOTA FARMERS LOSE PIGS
Losses in Single Winter Placed at
Above $4,8OO,OOO.

South Dakota farmers lost more
than $4,800,00O last year through the
loss of small pigs only, from time of
birth until six weeks of age, by lack
of hog houses, the lack of good man
agement of the sow during preg-
nancy, bad housing conditions and
improper care of the pigs at and af-
ter birth. This estimate is made by
the state college extension specialists.
Statistics show that South Dakota
had four hundred thousand brood sows
on her farms in the winter of 1917-18
and that less than five pigs were rails
ed for each sow. This means loss
weeks. Valued at cost, or 81 each,
this means a loss of more than 81
100000 to South Dakota farmers. At
5000 for hog house this money would
build eight thousand permanent hog
houses on South Dakota farms.

For the Good
 of the Community

c TX or seven months ago number of Mont o gonery business men organized a stock yards company with $2OOO00 capital stock
 They built yards with capacity of 5000 hogs 2500 cattle and 250O sheep They did good busi- ness from the start
 Recently they have increased the capital to something like $1,00OO0O, and one of the off, cials states that twice that amount could have been sold to Montgomery business men and cap- italists at par or better
 They have also doubled the capacity of their yards, which now will accommodate 10000 hogs, 3750 cattle and 3750 sheeb.
 Adjoining the yards is a large vacant lot pur- chased by the company recently upon which they expect to erect packing plant within the next twelve months.
 Has your stock yards venture been finan- cal success?' was asked one of the officials who was showing party of visitors through the yards
 "Id be ashamed to tell you what our profits the first SIX months were" :" he responded
 lie adedd that gross sales in the first six months exceeded $7, ,500,000 And their business was confined solely to Alabama grown hogs. cat tie and sheep.

Some of the cat- tie, hogs and sheep slaughtered at the Birming- ham packing plant are purchased at the Mont gOmery yards
 The history of the Montgomery stock wards proves two things: that the livestock industry Tn Alabama has already assumed mammoth nro. portions and that it is profitable
 When one concern during the first six months or US existence can handle over S55OO OO) worth o1 livestock there can be no further doubt as to the success of the livestock industry in the state or that there IS financial profit in if,

 Court Case

PHILADELPHIA, Garca 5-PoS- session of S5s,OOO.OOO worth of Du- pont Powder Company stock pur- chased from T. Coleman Dupont re- mains with Pierre s. Dupont. presi. dent of the company, and directors associated with him, according to a decision handed down today by Judge Darlington in the United States cir cult court of appeals, The decision ends nearly four years of litigation. Whether the case will be further ap- 'pealed rests with Philip F. Dupont, Alfred l. Dupont and others who brought the suit against the officers and directors of the company.
 The suit was brought in 1915 to compel Pierre s. Dupont and direc- tors to return to the Dupont Powder Company the s56,0OO, 900 of stock pur- chased from T. Coleman Dupont.
 According to the plaintiffs, Pierre s. Dupont and certain directors of the powder company formed the Dupont Securities Company for the purpose of the stock for their own benefit instead for the powder com pany,
 The first decision of the United States district court directed that the stockholders hold meeting and de- eide on its ownership. The stock holders decided in favor of Pierre $. Dupont and his associates, whose ownership of the stock was confirmed by majority, not only of the stock but of the individual stockholders.
 The vote was contested and the federal district court a year ago de- cided Pierre s. Dupont and his asso- ciates rightfully held the securities. The case was then appealed and to- days decision was on this appeal.

Dr. Cohn Attacks Erzberger, but Latter IS Given
 Big Ovation

WEIMAR, Wednesday, Mar. 5.-(By the Associated Press. )-During the de bate on the Polish question Dr. Cohn, independent socialist, attacked Erzber- ger partly on personal and partly on political grounds. Erzberger laughing ly declined to discuss the personal industries during the war.
 Quoting fact after fact the minister answered Cohn, frequently branding him as a prearicator. The assembly grew wildly excited as Erzbergsr re- piled to the accusations and was at a fever pitch when he ended. The mem bers on all sides gave Erzberger an ovation as he concluded.
 pr. Cohn had charged that S5O,000 Poles had forcibly been brought to Germany. Erzberger denied this, as likewise he did Dr. Cohn's allegations concerning the German defence on the east and also charges against him with regard to Swiss and Rumanian asasiled by Dr. Cohn were of indepen- dent socialistic origin.
 T want your confidence" said Erz- berger addressing the chamber, "anu on that day when l do not have it I shall retire from political life. 1 ob- ject to the effect of these dirty as, tacks abroad and the impression that they create"

TAFT CONTINUES LEAGUE SPEECHES Ex-President Refutes Argu- ments of Opponents
 of Covenant

PITTSBURGH, March 6.-The argu- ment that America, under the League of Nations constitution, might be com pelled to receive immigrants contrary to the national desire, was refuted by former President William H. Taft in an address here tonight
 Immigration" said MT. Taft, ''by international law, is a domestic ques- tion completely within the control of the government into which immigra- ton is sought, unless the question is the subject of treaty stipulation be- tween two countries" That the league council, as a mediating body, should not take jurisdiction to con sider the immigration question, was the opinion of the speaker.
 In closing MT. Taft said:
 The European nations desire our entrance into this league, not that they may control America, but to se- cure our aid in controlling Europe, and 1 venture to think that they would be relieved if the primary duty of keeping peace and policing thi7 western hemisphere were relegated to us and our western colleagues"
