read to congress of zoo labor leaders
summoned from all parts of the Unit

tives Of national farmers organiza-

The resolution sets forth the princi-
pies for which organized labor will
fight in the next few months backed
by as many farmers organizations as

Use of the injunction in strikes is
scored in the declaration. The right
to strike is reaffirmed and criticized
leveled at bills prohibiting strikes now

Mexico City, Dec. 14.--Jack John
son. toreador premier.
BY such auspicious title is the for
ner heavyweight boxing champion of
the world being hailed in Mexico.
Lii Arthur made his debut in the
bull ring this afternoon before huge
crowd. He scored technical knock
out over two large bulls after a real
fight during which he was felled twice
almost for the count. He proved him
self an able jumper on two occasions
by clearing the high wall of the en-
closure with an enraged bulls horns
close to his anatomy.
Jack was given a great ovation
when he strode across the ring. He
scorned the conventional outfit of the
bull fighter and appeared attired in
stiff collar, shirt sleeves, white
flannel trousers and duo-colored sport
shoes A flashy multi-coolred torea-
doris cape was thrown about his
shoulders.
Wife Is Present.
His head was bare and the sun
beat down, illuminating the million
dollar smile" as of old. His white
wife sat in ringside box and, in ac-
cordance with the custom of bestow-
ing the cape on the lady of the torea-
doris choice, Jack bowed elaborately
and handed 1t up to her.
The bull then entered and Jack
waved red flag. The bull rushed
him and Jack feinted and jabbed with
his old time cleverness. The bull,
however, found an opening and
charged at the mid section of his
negro opponent. Jack clinched his
horns and then went down. After
several more rounds Johnson rammed
the spear before the front launches
and the bull was out for the count.

was still bowling In low graceful
sweeps when the new bull charged at
his rear. He made six foot leap and
landed in one of the boxes.

BEHIND
CUNNINS BILL is
CHARGED BY NORRE

Washington, Dec. 13.-Charges that
an organized propaganda has been
started by railroad interests to force
passage of the Cummins railroad bill
were made by Senator Norris, Nebras-
ka, in speech in the senate.
After voicing the allegations, Norris
introduced resolution asking the SEN
ate into interstate committee to inves-
tigate to what extent railroad execu-
tives are conducting propaganda to
influence congress and how much
money they are spending. Norris read
newspaper clipping declaring $1,000
900 had been raised by railroad Off
cials to spend in campaign to secure
enactment of the Cummins bill.
Pomerene, Ohio, declared that
propaganda is also being conducted
against the Cummins bill and in favor
of the Plumb plan.
Norris offered to accept an amend
ment to his resolution covering this.
point.
Senator Summins warned that he
Will keep MS Dill DeIOre the seHdto

unless it is passed before that time.
Should a filibuster develop, Cummins
will demand application of the cloture
rule
If Cummins stands by his determi-
nation, it is believed senate leaders will
.cometo his aid and get the measure
disposed of.
The bill will then go to conference
between the house and senate but de-
lays incident to this proceeding will
make it practically impossible to get

law before new year

GRASSHOPPERs PAY CASH
DIVIDENDS; PROBLEM OF
DESTROYING PESTS SOLVED

Fargo. - Grasshoppers are begin
ming to pay big cash dividends In
North Dakota thru the medium of
poultry, especially in turkeys and
guinea fowl. The experiment has
been successfully tried at the State
Agricultural college and numerous
farmers have taken the cue.
Wherever there are green fields
there are grasshoppers and other IN
sects. G. R. Graves, Of the agricul-
tural college, who has conducted the
experiments, says:
at seems the inexplorable law of
nature that wherever there is some-
thing good to eat there is something
to eat it, and mans experience is q
continual struggle for supremacy
over the creatures that are determ-
ined to consume the food he requires"
Turkeys in Answer
During past years in North Dakota
prairie chickens, sage hens, and
grouse held the grasshoppers in check
and their plumpness and the delicious
quality of their meat attested the
superiority of their food. Now the
prairie chickens are going the way of
the buffalo, and Mr.. Greaves was as
signed to find substitute that would
keep down the insect pests with q
minimum of trouble and expense to
the farmer. The answer is turkeys
and guineas.
Mr.. Greaves declares that flocks Of
turkeys and guineas consume millions
of grasshoppers and other insect
pests, and naturally do their own for
aging. Early in the season the ex-
perimental flocks at the agricultural
college have grown fat and strong
on the young insects.
n Get Exercise
Later in the season they have re-
ceived the abundant exercise neces-
sary for their proper market, condi-
tioning by chasing the elusive hop
pers, have saved the field crops, and
provided a new, big source Of income.
'The old turkeys kept thru one win
ter" says Mr.. Greaves, produced
flock of young turkeys the following
season which kept the fields near
their house clear of grasshoppers and
fulfilled their destiny by grazing
Thanksgiving tables"
