that seventy-five republican IN

Pittsburg. Kans., April 27.-Af-
ter a morning spent in discussion
of the Kansas court of industrial
relations law, the Crawford dis
trict court this afternoon began
taking testimony in the case in
which the state seeks a temporary
injunction against approximately
$50 miners union officials to pre-
vent strike. Newspaper inter-
views given by Alexander Howatt
were first in the evidence pre-
scented by the state that the miners
union officials were in a consrr-
acy to violate the new Kansas law,
Judge A. ]. Curran, before whom
the case is being tried, said the
new law is the most forward piece
of legislation in the history of the
state. He predicted that within
five years, the miners would be
the best friends of the new law
and court.
When lawyers for the miners
protested against the courts "ran-
dering a decision without hearing
the evidence" the judge said he
was merely expressing his per-
Sonal opinion.

Washington, April 27.-The story
Of John Lind, former governor OF
Minnesota, of his experiences in
Mexico, as President Wilson'S per-
sOnal representative was told today
to the senate investigating commit

his efforts to induce Huerta to alb

lowing overthrow of the Madero
government and before American
occupation of Vera cruz.

decades to bring the people up TO
our standards"
He denied he had ever. as FIX

committee charged. attributed all

denied he had ever made such

What Mexico needs is educa-
ton he declared, "and it is very
unfortunate that the influence of
the catholic church has been
against schools in Mexico. AS in
the United States, its influence has
not been in the direction of estab-
fishing and maintaining public
schools"
That he had ever said the church
should be abolished as an institu-
ton in Mexico, or that he had said
he advocated recognition of Car
rama lest poor Mexico fall back
into the clutches of the Catholic
church." Mr.. Lind likewise denied.
At the conclusion of his account
of the failure of his mission with
Huerta Mr.. Kearful asked for Mr..
Lind's opinion as to the present
policy which should be adopted to-
ward Mexico.

of a weak country to be very pa

Kearful continued, when thirty

Wadsworth is subsiding. In the

that his refusal to surrender to

WHEAT ACREAGE
SHOWS DECLINE
Farmers of Idaho Look
to Other Crops
for Returns.

Sioux Falls. S. D.-"Will the far
mers of South Dakota and other north
western states eventually stop grow
ing wheat?" This is a question which
is frequently asked these days and is
attracting serious attention. The
wheat production of South Dakota
this year is only a little more than
Is. 100000 bushels-which y is only
about one-half of the wheat production
of the State during former years. 1t
is claimed that the 1919 crop of wheat
raised in South Dakota, which was
produced at very high cost because
of the excessive wages demanded by
farm hands. was sold at a loss. The
yield was lower than customary.
Much of the years wheat crop raised
in South Dakota is stated to be un-
satisfactory from a financial stand
point due largely to the same causes
which affected the 1919 production
If there is no remedy for this condi-
ton. it would appear that the solution
for the wheat farmer would be to
abandon wheat growing. M. R. Bepe-
dict. farm management specialist of
the South Dakota Agricultural Col
lege, said:
Fortunately, however, this is not
the only way out. 1t has been the his
