CUSTOMS UNION WITH JuGo-
SLAvIA NATION is ONE OF
THE PROVISIONS.
CONCESSIONS ARE MADE
Italy Is Granted Full Sovereignty
Over Islands Near the DaI-
nation Coast.

Paris.-Groat Britain, France and the
United States, conceding the Italian
character of Fiume, will grant that city
complete sovereignty under the league
of nations, preserving only a customs
union with Jrgo-S,avia, according to
a memorandum concerning Dalmatia
and Fiume recently presented by these
powers to- Vittorio Scialoia, the Italian
foreign minister. A summary OF the
memorandum telegraphed by its Rome
correspondent is published by La Ma
cion,
In the memorandum the United
States, France and Great Britain rec
ognize as reasonable the demands of
Italy with respect to the Islands of
Pelagosa, Lissa and Lussin, off the
Dalmatian coast, granting full SOW
ereignty to Italy. The three powers
bania and complete sovereignty over
Aviona with the hinterland necessary
to its defense. s n az III
The memorandum observes that
these concessions appear to safeguard
sufficiently the rights and aspirations
of Italy. Nevertheless, guided by a
spirit of friendship. the powers will
take into consideration other demands
OF Italy, especially the diplomatic
representation of Zara. with respect
to which a decision will be left to the
population Of that city. ~
Upon the Italian proposition to sep
arate Fiume and constitute it and the
hinterland as buffer state complete
ly independent, leaving the port and
railroad to that state, the memoran
dunn says that the existence of Fiume
and of the buffer state appear to elm
mate each other reciprocally because
any form of separation would be to-
the prejudice of the citypas well dis to
the hinterland. In order to safeguard
the Italian character and autonomy Of
Fiume the powers presenting the
memorandum are disposed to maintain
the city under protection of the league
OF nations, and as Italy is part of the
league, her interests would be safe.s

SUPREME COURT SAYS CONGRESS
HAS RIGHT TO DECLARE SALE
OF ALCOHOL UNLAWFUL.
OPINION is NOT UNANIMOUS
Four Judges Dissent From Majority
pa Opinion as Prepared BY Associate
Justice Brandies-Faint Hope
4A Left For "Wets."

Washington.-By majority or one
vote the supreme court upheld the
right of congress to define intoxicating
liquors, insofar as applied to wartime
prohibition.
In four to five opinion, rendered
by Associate Justice Brandeis, the
court sustained the constitutionality
of provisions in the Volstead prohi-
bition enforcement act prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of beverages
containing onehalf Of one per cent
or more Of alcohol Associate Justices
Day, Van Devanter, McReynolds and
Clark dissented. m
Validity of the federal prohibition
constitutional amendment and por-
tions of the Vo,stead act affecting its
enforcement was not involved in the
proceedings. but the opinion was re-
garded as SO sweeping as to leave lit
tie hope among wet" adherents.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
for the Anti-Saloon League of America,
hailed it as a sweeping victory" and
in a statement he said the only prohi-
bition question left open by the court
now is whether the 18th amendment
is OF a nature that can be considered
as q federal amendment and whether
1t was properly adopted.
In rendering the opinion the court
sustained federal court decrees dis
missing injunction proceedings to en-.
join federal authorities from prevent
ing Jacob Rupert, a New York brew
er, from manufacturing beer contains
ing in excess Of one-half Of one per
cent, but which he alleged was non
Intoxicating.
The 'swets," however, received q
brief ray OF hope when shortly after
wards. Associate Justice Day in an
unanimous opinion, sustained the dis
missal OF indictments brought under
the wartime prohibition act against
the Standard Brewery OF Baltimore,
and the American Brewing Company
Of New Orleans, for manufacturing
2.75 beer before the Volstead act was
passed. In sustaining this action, the
to determine what is intoxicating bev-
erages, but in view of the fact the
volstead act had not yet been passed,
manufacture OF low alcoholic beer
was permissible under the war time
prohibition act providing it was not
Intoxicating.
Following the rendering of the
opinion, Assistant Attorney General
Frierson, who has been in charge of
the prohibition cases in the country,
announced that the department of
justice was ready to begin prosecu-
ton of all persons who have sold
beer since the passage last October 2S
of the Volstead act. The names of
all persons violating the act have been
obtained ythe department and card
indexed and prosecutions, he said,
would begin at once.

Mexico City.-Couzetlan was de.
stroyed by Saturdays earthquake, with
1000 casualties, including more than
1000 dead. according to official re.
ports given out here by presidential
military headquarters, from advices
received from officers in the Vera

Three hundred dead are reported
at Barranca Grande. near Coutzelan.
The water level at Port Barranca
del Aqua rose 25 metres.
A detachment Of soldiers has been
sent from Huatssco to bury the vic.

Another incident of tragic interest
is the story that comes from San Juan
Cosmatepec, where it is said outlaws
raided the ruins of the town, driving
the survivors of the earthquake into
the fields and Jungles. Cosautlan, a
village of $500 residents, was left
with only two buildings intact An
uncounted number of victims is still
beneath the ruins.
The three towns were apparently
close to the exact center Of the earth
quake area which extended about so
miles on the eastern slope of the vol
cano. of Orizaba. Death came not only
from crumbling homes and churches.
but from floods in hitherto peaceful
streams which were swollen by black
sulphurous waters, which swept
wrecked settlement along their banks,
drowning the injured and carrying
scores of bodies down stream inextric.

INVESTIGATION OF THE clRcUM.
STANCES WILL BE MADE BY
FEDERAL AGENTS. &
PLANS ARE NOT ComPLETE
Relatives May Be Sent to Join De-
portees Overseas If They So De-
sire-No False Sympathy
In the Matter. f

Washington.-The government has
definitely decided to render aid to the
dependents of alien radicals whom 1t
deports, Assistant Attorney General
Garvan announced. Action in this d.
rection will be taken purely as a hu-
manitarian measure and not because
OF any obligations to the families Of
the aliens, he added.
Federal agents have been instructed
to- investigate the circumstances of all
families from which the government
has deported the breadwinner, but Mr..
GarYan warned that mo false sym
pathies would enter. into the govern
ment's decision in extending as
sistance."
1t has not yet been determined
through what channels provision will
be made for the care of persons left
alone through the "folIies of their
family heads" 1t was indicated, how
ever, that eventually, If the persons
concerned so chose they would be sent
to join the deportees. Legislation may,
he necessary to accomplish this, but
officials felt that by sending those
people away the nation would be free
from further trouble breeding by those
particular strains of blood and thought.
Officials also said that much Of
the ground for possible reprisals
would be removed if the families were
finally sent to join their leaders.
While the government makes no
provision for the families OF persons
sent to federal prisons, It was ex.
planned that deportation was differ
ent matter, and that because OF its
possible effect in Russia and other
foreign countries 1t was worth while
for the government to care for per-
sons left here unprovided for as
result of deportation proceedings.

R SOWING

Spring wheat should be sown In the
spring as Dol as the seed bed can be
properly prepared. termination takes
place i'm the ground when the tempera-
ture is about AZ to so degrees. The acre
age quantity of seed per acre sown is
about ~ bushels. Sometimes a little
less and sometimes a little more will
be better. Your own experience will
tell you how much. Drilling is better
than b~roadcasting. The use of the cor
rugated roller is recommended. The
seed usually should be sown about two
to three inches deep. The important
thing is to get it into the soil sufficient
ly moist to insure termination. In
heavy wet soil one or two inches will
be deep enough.

Another very successful method Is

The formaldehyde treatment or the
seed frequently increases the yield
more than would be naturally expect.
ed from simply replacing the smutted
heads with sound ones. A substantial
gain is made from the use of formal
dehyde. Increases of over four bush
els per acre have been found in spring
wheat In which only a little owe one
and one-half bushels were actually de-
stroyed by smut. This rs probably
due to the fact that the grain is af-
fected by other seed-horne parasites
than smut and scab and which are as
effectually checked by the treatment.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1920-03-11

There are three serious diseases /:
Smut, scab and rust. Rust cannot be
prevented by seed treatment. The
other two can. Damage from rust can
be partially avoided by selecting a
good quality of Marquis seed and by
early seeding in order to get an early
maturity.
Blow out with a tanning mil as
many of the smut balls as possible or
remove them from the grain by other
means. There are n number of ways
of treating the seed with fermalde-
hyde. Perhaps the simplest and most
successful method is to mix one pound
of ommon commercial fo~rmaldehyde
In forty gallons of water. Provide two
tubs or half barrels raise one of them

may be on the ground. Fill the top tub
