Blaine is hesieged with requests for
information as to how the federal
dry amendment can be wiped off the
books The vets have a vision of

to elect members of congress who

not probable-in fact, the declaration

Yienna-The food situation in this
city has again reached a severe crisis
and the burgomaster announces that
from Sunday last bread rations must
be decreased by ore-half for a week
The complete stoppage of the Hun
garian, Polish and Czecho-Slovac food
supplies has thrown Vienna upon the
scanty resources of lower and upper
Austria, which are totally unable to
feed the city. Tyrol, Vorarlberg, Salz-

Yes. the Poor Packers.

WASHINGTON Total earnings OF
the five big packers for 1917 were
$95, 639, 600 testimony indicated, al
tho witnesses declared accurate fig
ures were impossible, because OF
faulty accounting methods of the

war averaged 6.5 per cent, but from
1915 to 1917 they averaged 1877 per
cent, figures compiled by the federal
trade commission indicated. Swift's

Nearly 200 three-inch field guns
several thousand shells and more than
81 100000 worth of harness and equip
ment-not surrendered by the Ger

armistice, these munitions became the
property Of the United States.

German Elections.

From the meagre reports that have
come out OF Germany, it appears that
the elections held there last Sunday
were the cause of many disturbances.
The franchise was general, including
both sexes of voting age. That many
fights should result is but natural to
a people who have so recently found
freedom. 1t is said that the social
lists carried the day. They held all the
machinery of election, big advan-
tage to such INSCRIPTIONS peoples.
1t may be weeks before returns are

There are only six COWS in the world
that have produced over zoe lbsl
milk each In one year, and only one
cow that has exceeded this amount
on two different occasions. All these
animals have been OF the Holstein-
Friesian breed. In two cases these
big yearly records have been made
under strictly official test; which
means that the animal is constantly
under the observation of a supervisor
appointed by the state, college Of agri-
culture, or other state agency having
control Of cow testing. At each milk
ing the supervisor Is present; sees the
milk weighed, and takes a. sample
which he forwards, together with his
report, to the state college Of agricul:
ture. g. &sE:$55:
Within the past few weeks large
number of new records made by Hol-
stein, cows in America have been re-
ported and the most recent one comes
from California, where Raphaella Jo-

MOVING PICTURE STORY

1.-THE Girl From the Marsh Croft"
which was shown for two weeks at the
Shubert, Minneapolis, proved one OF the
most delightful feature photo-plays OF
the season. The film is a perturbation
Of DR.. Selma Lagerl6fs widely read
story of the same name and puonsheo
in the originals wedish under the cap ,,
ton, "T0sen Fran Stormyrtorpet.
THE Cabin in the Marsh" would be q
more explanatory title to those not
understanding Swedish:
simplicity in the way the Swedish film
producers have presented their play.
The story is coherent and presents
delightful Interpretation of human and
dramatic values. The director has con-
tented him self with letting the story
tell itself in simple and charming fash
ion, without resorting to the many art1-
fatalities SO common In American pic"
ture exploitation.
"The Girl From the Marsh Croft" was
filmed in Sweden and it's players are
Swedish actors of much renown through
out Scandinavia and the characterlza-
any viewpoint. THE Girl From the
Marsh Croft ranks equal to and in
many ways excells American and French
production.
Appealing, as is the story, the photo
graphy lends another distinctive charm
because of it's clarity. For beauty of
scenery and rugged yet charming lines,
it is obvious that Sweden has been over
looked by ambitious motion picture
makers

New Law Nets Farmer $97,


Bismarck, N. OAK, April 26.-One
Oscar OPEN, Burleigh county farm
er, has had his first "run-in" with the
laws passed by the last legislature,
and he likes it.
Some weeks ago he sold his last
seasons wheat crop to an elevator at
Driscon, which is controlled by a
banker and a grain dealer. They
docked his grain pretty heavily, and
OPEN didn't like it at all, but like
every other farmer he had to take
just what the elevator managers gave
him. He didn't know about the new
grain grading law which the farmer
legislators put on the books last
winter which says that all dockage
must be paid for at the market price.
Last week Chief Deputy Grain In
spector J. A. McGovern addressed a
meeting at Arena at which OPEN was

eight hours later the mail man
brought OPEN a check for $97 from
the elevator company to pay for fax
and oats found in the wheat.

in the Nonpartisan League is the best
investment I ever made" declared
