HOGS SALVAGE
DAMAGED WHEAT

When q hail sorm came crashing
through Saltwater County, Montana,
and beat $4,000 acres of the choicest
wheat into the ground, just few
weeks before harvest, it left some dis
couraged farmers. It looked like a to-
tai loss, aside from the limited State
hail insurance carried. Saltwater
County, however, was fortunate in
having farm bureau and a live coun
ty agent. An executive committee of
the farm bureau was held at once, and
it was decided that most Of the wheat
could be saved if hogs could be secured
to clean up the fields. The county ag-
ent Immediately got busy "hog hunt
ing" among the other bureaus Of the
State, and the president of the county
bureau went to Helena to get the
State Council Of Defense to authorize
the advance payment Of 50 per cent Of
the hail insurance money to help fin.
ance the purchase Of hogs. Both ef.
forts were successful. ), The agent il
Saltwater County inspected and &C
cepted the hogs, they were shipped di
rect to the Saltwater county farmers
and 1890 head were put to salvagine
the damaged wheat.

SOCIALIST DEFENDANT ADMITS
ANTI-WAR STATEMENTS; IS
PROUD OF BELIEF.

Chicago, Dec. 30.-Congressman-
elect, Victor L. Berger of Milwaukee,

five Socialist leaders charged with
conspiracy to violate the espionage
law, will take the stand tomorrow.
Berger will be one of the last witness
es for the defense. 1t is believed the
case will lbe given to the jury before

Rev. Irwin st. John Tucker, anoth-
er defendant, occupied the stand the
greater part of today.
He admitted authorship of various
anti-war pamphlets which were dis
tributed by the millions by the Social
ist party, but said he received no roy
atty for his work. He also confessed
to having delivered a large number of
anti-war speeches attributed to him by
the government. While being cross
examined by District Attorney Clyne
in regard to the radical statements al
legged to have been made at different
times, Tucker said: ~ don't remem-
Der whether / said that or not, but
that is what thought, and if did not
say it wish I had"
The witness admitted having WRIT
ten the advertisement published for
. weeks in the American Socialist in
which readers were advised not to buy
Liberty Bonds.
"Were you opposed to the sale of
Liberty Bonds?" asked District At
toreny Clyne.
II most certainly was," replied
Tucker.
The witness admitted having stated
in speech that the men appealing fol-
i army recruits were like the trained
steer at the stockyards that leads cat
tie to slaughter.

companies, properties estimated as
being worth from 100000 to $500, 900

States district court in Fargo when
attorneys argued the newspaper own
ership question.
Today's arguments conclude the re.
cent hearing held in st. Paul, where
Judge Amidon recently conducted an
examination to develop further the
question Of who really owns the news
paper. A. c. Townley has testified
that he controls both papers, while he
says they are owned by A. j. Fox and
the late Ed. Wood. Fox testified last
week at st. Paul that he invested n,
money in the newspaper, while Woo,
gave similar testimony about a yea
ago.
Judge Amidon, in probing in tn
paper ownership today, declared thi
morning that it was puzzling propo
sition that the bankrupt Townley ap
peared as. moving factor in the pu,
chase Of the Fargo paper.

body and recently re-appointed by

Office to succeed Associate Justice Har-
ry A. Bronson as first assistant. Mr..
Packard has for some time handled
r,uch of the business of the attorney
s~c.-eral's office.
The abolition of the state tax COM
ssion is. recommended in the bien-
"':l report of State Auditor Kositsky,
former secretary of the tax board.
, Mr.. kositsky urges that the tax COM
mission duplicates the work of tht
state board Of equalization. the STATE
auditors office and other tax-makine
bodies, and that it is not only need
less and costly luxury, but that it con.
fuses and conflicts. The state audi.

powers in the state board of equal.
j cation, which he would have at all
timeseresponsive to the administration
in power.

HOW BILL GOT HIS

Caught on the fly from one of our
interesting exchanges, the Mountrail
County Promoter, and may also serve
as tip to our many readers in this
and other counties. The Promoter
says:
"The other day Bill Crowder, the
mayor of Ross, was out for little
drive in his Henry Ford. He was going
along at very moderate speed, when
he suddenly came up to bunch of cat
tie in the road. Bill footed his horn
and also called out to them in i'm
perative terms to get out of the road.
They all obeyed except one. This was
a male species, which did not seem to
be inclined to make any concessions
of any kind. In fact he showed un-
mistakable signs of wrath. After
making a hasty estimate Of the ma
chine, he simply lowered his head and
raised his tail and with a laundering
roar suddenly charged the slowly
moving vehicle. The Ford was no
match for the he-bovine. It was only
a matter of a few seconds and the ma
chine was hurled completely out of the
road and was a helpless wreck in the
ditch on the side and the conqueror
walked triumphantly away. Luckily
there was some snow in the ditch,
which perhaps saved Mr.. Crowder, as
he landed in the ditch with the Ford
on top Of him. After taking a sur
veying glance to see if the enraged an
imal was still there, he found the coast
clear, and managed to dig the snow
away and crawled out. As it was Mr.
Crowder escaped without any serious
injuries. However, both of his shins
were skinned. But not so with the
poor Ford. It laid there a helples:
wreck. It will take Sidney some time
to put it in running order. In thu
meantime Bill says that after this, HI
is not going to have any arguments o;
any kind with any he-bovine, as HI
and are able to convince anvone tha
their authority is not to be disputed

TO KEEP UP
WHEAT PRICE
MEANS Loss
PER CAPITA TAX OF SO SEEN IF
GOVERNMENT KEEPS FAITH
WITH WHEAT GROWERS.

Washington, Dec. 39.-The United
States government stands to lose more
than a billion dollars in 1919 if it
keeps faith with the the American
wheat grower an protects the public
from exhorbitant dread and food
prices.
An expert of the food adnlinistra-
ton, who has been studying the wheat
problem growing out of the govern
ment guarantee of $2.26 bushel In
Chicago for the 1919 crop, expressed
this opinion today. The huge sum Of
money which may be needed would be
the equivalent of per capita tax of
$40 on every man, woman and child in
the country.
William A. Glasgow, Jr., chief couz-
sci for the food administration, said
that he saw no way by which the gov
eminent could avoid it's obligation to
the farmer. The government will be
forced to pay the farmer 1926 per
bushel for his wheat and sell at the
worlds market price. a.s
Greater Drop Expected.
With the price of wheat now $1.35
in England, which is receiving the sur
plus supplies of Argentina and Aus
tralia, experts look for greater fall
ing price in 1919. The United ST.
must meet this price, and therefore
will suffer the loss in order to dispose
of the estimated surplus for 1919 Of
nearly 100000 900 bushels.
In the opinion Of Mr.. Glasgow, the
governemnt, by its control of the pr1ce
Of wheat, cannot keep up the presens
price Of flour or the price of bread to
10 cents beyond June Of next year.
By that time it is forseen by him that
|competition from foreign countries
and protests from the public will COM
pei the government to sell it's wheat at
a figure which will permit the baker
to sell the average loaf of bread at it,
pre-war price of cents.
It will be necessary for the govern
ment to do this not only because it is
fair to the public, but unless such .
course is followed it will be unable 70
dispose of the surplus wheat, which,
with the 1918 and 1919 surplus, may
exceed OO,00O, 900 bushels.
Mr.. Glasgow believes that the gov
ernment should suffer the losses,
whatever thev may be, in order 10
keep faith with the wheat producers.
Likewise that wheat should be SOLD ~
a loss in order to force reduction II
the general food prices.
