Hallway Interest in Newspaper
Established in suit.

That the purchase Of the Post

financed IN part by funds obtained
from the Stone 4 Webster. Guggen-
helm and Oregon & Washington rail
road interests. and that Stone & WeD-
ster had TO be consulted by Clark
Nettleton and his associates before
negotiations for the sale of the Pos,
lntelligenccr to William Randolph
Hearst could proceed, were allega-
tons contained in affidavits filed in
the superior court at Seattle Friday.
The proceeding was brought by Net.
Teton to force George Boole to return
700 shares of stock Nettleton alleges
to be his property.
nj his affidavit Boole says that
when he, Judge Kenneth Macintosh,
r. X. Strive, r. V. Ankeny and Clark
Nettleton acquired the stock of the
Post-1ntelligencer in the fall of 1918.
he and Judge Macintosh were the
only ones to advance their own funds:
that Boole loaned Ankeny the money
to purchase 473 shares, and that "tha
balance of the funds for the purchase
of the stock was secured by Struye
and Nettleton from A. W. Leonard of
the Stone & Webster interests, Chas.
+ Peabody. reputed to be interested
in the Alaska Steamship company, af-
filiated with the Guggenheim inter
ests, and certain other funds were
secured from j. d. Farrell of the Ore

favored by all Of the stockholders. in
Guiding Nettleton, but that Nettleton
informed him he did not desire to
consummate it until he had the APP
proval of certain associates.
He mentioned specifically Stone G
Webster, G ID. Lowman and Judge
Burke" says Moore's affidavit. Il
did not understand that these gentle
men were stockholders. Accordingly
Mr. Nettleton requested Mr. Sweeney
and myself to meet him one evening
at the Office of Stone e Webster and
asked me to explain the entire propo.
sition to Mr.. Leonard which l did.
Thereupon Mr.. Leonard drove us to
our hotel and stated I could count on
his personal approval and one the ap-
prevail of Stone & Webster
Moore said further that subse-
quently it was arranged that the
stockholders meet him at dinner in
the Rainier club about the middle %
February and close the deal. At the
appointed time, he said. all were pres
ent except Nettleton. and telephone
inquiry brought the information that
the publisher was indspOsed, but
would sign the papers the following
day. The contract was left with
Maurice McMicken, but NettIeton did
not sign it, and Moore said three
weeks later negotiations were de-
clared off and the papers destroyed.

Bluegrass Pasture Good
To Fatten Pigs For Market

Brookings, S. d.. August Ire
suits of experiments AT the South Da-
kota Experiment Station show that
when pigs received all the tankage
and shelled corn they wanted from the
self-feeder for a period Of los days,
both in the dry lot and on bluegrass
pasture, there was a difference of .27
Of a pound daily in the gain in favor
of the bluegrass pasture lot. Two
other lots were fed under the same
conditions but received barley as the
grain ration and made a return Of II
Ct a pound more daily in favor OF the
grass pasture lot.
These results indicate that bluegrass
pasture is very valuable in fattening
pigs for market ever II tankage ano
grains are supplied in abundance and
the pig is allowed to help himself.

HEALTH TALK
BY COUNTY NURSE
What 10 DO In Case An Artery Is
Severed

This is scientific fact and still holds
true; that the life of the flesh is in
the blood.
Then, too, there is but about L.
pounds troy weight of blood in a ma
tured body, and therefore nc one car
afford to lose very much.
Nature has done a wonderful thing
n regard to the arteries. She has
placed them next to the bones, so that
all you have to do is press them
against the bone in case the wound is
severe, as IN a bad cut or in a crushed
or severed limb.
III an artery which is the large blood
vessels is severed always press be-
tween the wound and heart, because
arterial blood flows from the heart.
II it is a vein that is cut you press
ON the opposite side of the wound from
the heart because venous blood is
flowing to the heart. To distinguish
between Arterial and Venous blood.
Rrterial blood comes out in spurts or
Jerks and Is a bright crimson; while
venous blood flows evenly and is dark
rcd.
III one Is wounded close to the wind
ripe and high in the neck; press with
the finger below and along side of
windpipe against the spine. If the
wound Is on the side of the neck and
the blood is flowing fast, the jugular
vein is cut. Press with the finger
above the wound and you will stop
bleeding.
IL arm is crshed or torn out from
.the socket, press on the first rib, al
the collar bone If the wound is below
the shoulder press on the inside of the
against the bone. If the wound
is in the hand or wrist put a medium
lied pad Of folded paper in the bend
Of the arm, fiex limb and tie. If the
wound is below the knee, flex the leg
with large pad in the bend of knee,
as done to hand or wrist, or use
a tourniquet. To make a tournqnet
fold some thing hard as a pen knife
or piece Of wood in a handkerchief and
tie tight. This will compress artery
and prevent further loss of blood.

100000 Damage Result

Strange Animal Frightens
Residents Near Bradley

Bradley, S.. d., Aug. Sc. l.. Rose,
a farmer residing neal here, had an
experience recently that he will not
Don forget. While stacking hay he
stuck his fork into a hay cock and
he felt the fork sinking into somo-
thing hard. When he withdrew the
instrument he found that he had
'speared" an animal similar to an az
ligator. He killed the strange crea-
ture and placed it on the wagon. He
then heard a most unearthIy roar be-
hind and upon turning he saw a huge
creature some fifteen feet in length
approaching him with mouth open. He
clamored onto his wagon and the
horses took fright and ran Mr.. Rose
stated that three little ones were
closely following the mother creature
In the following week several
searching parties were organized and
armed with guns, harpoons, lassoes,
and other implement, ought to cap
trre what they now believe is a giant
alligator that has escaped from a cir
Gus
The roars of the animal may be
heard at times and his tracks can be
followed IN the wheat fields but no
trace a be found of where the home
may be. Much splashing is heard in
a nearly swamp at night.
Another man named Ruthford Hill
claims that he was attacked and that
the creature had snapped at his heel.
Still another farmer states that he
raw the monster catch and devour a
calf in a pasture near the swamp
where it is thought the family spend
their evenings.

FARM TRACTORS
VERSUS HORSES
influence of the Tractor On Farm La
Dor Brought Out BY Inyesti.
cation

Farmers bulletin No 1898, entitled
Influence Of the Tractor on Use of
Horses, il just off the Government
press. This bulletin sums the results
If an investigation made on 191 corn
belt farms, with special reference to
the influence of the tractor on horse
labor. This investigation was made
during the summer and fall of 1918 by
the Office of Farm Management.
Briefly summarized these are the
principal facts brought out or emphaz
led by this study;
y. The number o! horses disposed
of on 141 farms averaging 346k acres
on which tractors had been used for a
year or over, was "a per farm.
2. The average number of tillable
acres per horse increased from 26k to
3Sk after the purchase of the tractor.
3. Nine operators out Of 191 dis
placed horses entirely on blowing,
anu
4. Only 16 operators allowed their
horses to stand idle while the tractor
was I'm use.
5. The number of horses displaced
by the tractors on these farms was
governed by the number it was neces-
sary to retain for corn cultivation and
other work current at the same time
which the tractor could not do.
6. The horses remaining on these
farms are doing about rs per CEN Of
the tractive work and tractors the
remainder.
7 The tractor was used for an av-
erage of 20 ten-hour days per year on
the home farm. No record of the
amount OF custom work done was OBJ
8 A three pillow tractor on these
farms does the work of Sh horses In
Rowing, disking, narrowing and har-
yesting.
8. After purchasing the tractor the
size of the farms was increas-
ed by % acres or 6 1-3 per cent.
10. The principal advantage of a
tractor is its ability to do heavy work
in a shorter time than it can be done
with horses. The average size of all
farms visited was 1888 acres.
The data of the survey Of consid-
cradle Importance are: that most us
ers of tractors operated their mach
ines from Fl to 80 days during a year.
Twenty days for draw and 8 for belt
work: that the age Of the tractor does
not seem to influence to a great extent
The number of days used annually;
that the use of the tractor does not
tend to eliminate a large per cent OF
horses kept on the farm; rs per cent
Of farm work must still be done by
horses.
One alarming fact brought nj in
this inquiry was the scarcity of colts.
This phase of the farm business or
dinarily a profitable side line has been
practically abandoned.
The bulletin concludes with the fol-
statement. Keep enough
horses to cultivate corn and do other
work which must be done
at the same time but which the tractor
do"
Best horse opinion every where sug-
gests that farmers continue to produce
the heavy draft horses. This very
rerviceable type is replacing a large
number of auto trucks in the cities.
There is always good sale for heavy
draft horses.
