king ALBERT TALKS
OF VISIT TO AMERICA
HOPES YANKEES WILL EXTEND
CREDITS AS AN AID TO
HIS COUNTRY

On Board the U. S. S. George
Washington, Sept. 26-King Albert
talked with the correspondents on
the object of his visit to the United
States and the, results he hoped to
achieve. He pointed out that it was
business as well as pleasure which
impelled him to leave the country in
these busy days of reconstruction.
There is much for all of us to
learn in America said the king,
first in relation to the educational
systems. From your industries we
also should learn great deal.
'The situation in Belgium is i'm
proving. Our people have done work
in greater proportion than the people
of any other country seriouly affected
by the war and reconstruction is GO
ing forward in most gratifying man
ner. But there must be further inn
provement. We do not seek gifts of
money, but want American business
men to understand our needs and ex-
tend us the credits we must have, if
we go forward"

nue., was found smothered to death
in compartment of a refrigerator

Potatoes Should be
Dug Before Frost

Sioux City, Sept. 26.-Experts are
sending out their perennial warning
to potato growers to get their crop
of "spuds" out of the ground and
avoid field frost, which is very detri-
mental to the underground vegetable,
despite the fact that the effects of a
frost nip can. hardly be noticed by
those who have made thorough
study of potato growing.
When packed in large numbers for
shipment in railway cars, or in stor-
age houses, the potatoes become
warm and the water from the frost
starts sweating out through the
skins, thereby causing the potato to
get spongy and rot easily. Thousands
of bushels are destroyed annually be-
cause growers are lax in digging and
wait until the last moment, the ex-
perts say.
This years crop of potatoes is
slightly below the ge of previous
seasons and prices are high. But 1t
is expected that when the full mar
ketward movement gets under way
values will be considerably lower, al
though a few dealers assert that thu
falling off in the supply is greater
than the reports indicate and thai
prices will not show much if any de
cline compared to current values.

Shrunken Grain
Good Hog Feed

Brookings, Sept. 26.-With the
high price on hogs, hsrunken wheat
as pig feed is worth about as much
as the governments guarantee, says
j. w. Wilson, professor of animal
husbandry at the state college.
Prof Wilson bases this statement
upon the results of experiments con-
Quoted at the college some years ago
in feeding 44-pound wheat in COM
parison with 57-pound wheat. Pigs
receiving ground shrunken wheat
made an average daily gain per head
of two pounds, the good wheat pro-
ducing only three-tenths of pound
more per day per head. Although
the experiment station bulletin CIV
ing the details of the experiments is
exhausted, Prof. Wilson will supply
any farmer with the information
upon request.

Chicago Saloon Men
Held to Grand Jury

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Federal Judge
Lands dismissed petition for an
injunction and receivership involving
sixteen auto trucks and their cargoes
of beer seized at Zion City, ILL.,, while
being smuggled across the Wisconsin
line He held for grand jury investi-
cation thirty-nine Chicago saloon
keepers and one truck owner. The
hearing has not yet ended.
The beer cargoes and the trucks,
which one attorney declared were
valued at upwards of 100000, now
revert to the possession of Zion
City constable who seized them.
The jurist made a distinction be-
tween the saloonkeepers. For those
who freely admitted they had sold
beer made by Milwaukee and other
breweries he fixed bonds at $4,000
But the bond for those, who stood on
their constitutional rights and refused

RAILROAD AGENT
Held TO GRAND JURY
SOUTH DAKOTA MAN CHARGED
WITH THEFTs FROM
PACKAGES

Deadwood, Sept. 26.-Agent Po-
noski, who for some time has been in
charge of the Chicago G. Northwest
ern railroad station at Fairburn,
south of Deadwood, in the heart of
the Black Hills, was arrested by
Deputy United States Marshal Brooks
on the charge of having been respon-
sible for the theft of various articles
from express and freight shipments
sent to that station.
The defendant had a preliminary
hearing before a United States COM
for appearance before the next fed
eral grand jury, which convenes dur
ing the May term of the United States
court here. If an indictment is re-
turned against him, he is expected to
be tried at that term.
For some time the disappearance
of goods at Fairburn has caused the
railroad and express officials consid-
erable annoyance. 1t is said Po-
noski's arrest was not made until
after a complete investigation had
been made by detectives sent to Fair
burn by the railroad and express
companies.
1t is said that the officers made &
search for the stolen goods and thai
they foun about 100 inner tubes fol
automobiles, quantities of canned
goods and other loot in Ponoski's res,
idence. He also is accused of hav'
ing extracted valuable goods from
express shipments.
Ponoski, who is reputed to be quite
wealthy, had been agent at Fairburr
for a number of years and had al
ways been looked upon as one of tn,
good citizens of that place and ;
trusted employe of the company.

Eat More Bread is
Advice of Barnes

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Julius H.
Barnes, federal wheat director, in an
address before the American Asso-
citation of the Banking Industry, said
he believed the high cost of living
would be lowered by householders
themselves.
"The high cost of living can and
will be lowered by the householders
themselves" Mr.. Barnes said. This
can be done by self denial OF things
not necessary to life and progress.
Eat more bread and do with less lux
uries."
He said he had not entirely ap-
proved of the government wheat price
guarantee, but that he thought the
overflow" whea tacreage will prob
ably be corrected with the coming
year.

CUMMINS MEASURE
CHIEF OF RAILROAD BROTHER
HOODS DENOUNCE ANTI
STRIKE PROVISO

Washington, d. c., Sept. 26.-The
anti-strike provision of the Cummins
railroad bill is an attempt to place
shackles and servitude on railroad
workers." w. M. Doak, vice presi-
dent of the brotherhood of railroad
trainmen told the Interstate Com
merce committee.
''It is the boldest attempt at indi-
vidual and economic bondage since
the civil war and would create an
industrial involuntary servitude that
would be worse than the slavery that
existed prior to the civil war. I be-
lieve this proposed bill is contrary to
the letter and spirit of the constitu-
tion."
1--WE cannot and will not accept it."
Doak declared. voluntary arbitra-
tion is the only sort that this country
ever need attempt to set up. This
i'll declares null and void all laws set
up to protect laor."
p. j. Mcnamara, vice president OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen, declared the
bill was a step toward making "serfs
of loyal American citizens.
Sampel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Laor, and
Warren S. Stone, chief of the rail
engineers brotherhood, appearing
before the committee added their un-
qualified denunciation of the provi-
sion of the bill which would prevent

THE FARMERS LEAD THE
WORLD AS AUTO OWNERS
Interesting Statistics Relative 10
Number of Automobiles Owned
In States OF the Union

America has one motor vehiee for
every seventeen persons, according
% figures complied by the n. r..
Goodrich Rubber Co. The average
is based on the estimated DC pulation
and the 1918 automobile and truck
registration.
The most dense distribution of
cars is in the middle western states,
Iowa and Nebraska being In the lead
each with an average OF one car for
oyery seven persons. Other middle
west states having a record under
one car to every fifteen person. are:
S. Dakota, 8; Kansas. 10; North Da-
kota, II; Michigan, II; and Indiana,
Ohio end Wisconsin each witt 1S
to car.
Although Illinois ranks in impt T.
anoe as a farming state with almost
any mentioned above the factor of a
big city pulls down the states ratio
to one in seventeen. Small towns,
according to a recent national census
have greater car registrations in
proportion to their population than
the large cities. New York and Penn
sylvania, with their congested big
city population and their lack of
space for car driving, have ere car
to 2S and "a persons respectively.
The figures show that the most fer
tile field for the automobile and tire
salesman is in the rural districts and
that the motor vehicle has practical
ly become a necessity to the farmer.
Despite the fact that since 1916
the South as a section has shown the
greatest increase in car ownership
a gain of 101 per cent as compared
with 46 per cent in New England and
66 in the Southern
States ratio of cars to population is
lower than that of any other section
of the country. Mississippi and Ala
bama are last in the list of states
with so and So respectively. Mary

Securities

The more or less famous Church
i'll county case, wherein r. L. Doug
lass and J. A. Bailey the bondsmen
of George B. McFarlin, former eoun-
ty telephone manager, are held by
the county authorities as liable for
alleged defalcations to the amoAnt
of their joint $4,000 bond, was given
a new aspect Saturday when District
Judge Moran, of Washoe county,
sitting ON the Washoe county bench,
overruled the demurrer of the de-
fendant sureties. wherein ii was al
legged that the bond given by them
did not specify responsibility for A.
nancial shortcomings. but was mere
ly an insurance of the faithful per-
fermanee of the other phases of the
contract entered into by McFarlin
with the county commissioners, as
the executive heads of the county
telephone system. Judge Moran de-
elared, in overruling the demurrer
that the use OF the word, manager, /"
presupposes the handling OF money.
As result of JUDGE Moran's de-
cision the case OF the county against

The state convention occurs in
Reno on next Friday when number
of Fallon representatives will be
present there. Increased interest is
being manifested in the movement
here and it is believed that every one
of the nearly $50 Churchill county
boys, eligible to membership, will
have associated themselves with the
Fallon organization in due season.
Reno veterans are making great
preparations for ball to be given in
that city next Saturday evening. and
about $4,000 is expected to be raised
from this single sourcet Two Reno
halls will be utilized to care for tho
great crowd that is expected to be
