What's Wrong

George f. Morse, after than 40 years of
Feeding experience on his 5ooacrs Iowa farm. has
decided TO quit the rneatproducing business
For long Morse has been fattening 1000 steers
yearly. That means quite few beefsteaks and roast
ribs for many city meat eaters. And Morse admits
mat he made fair profit out OF the fattening"
that was In former Now. he insists, he can't
remain In the business because there isn't large
enough margin Of profit He says he has to pay too
much Tor feed and doesn't get enough for the
product he drives into the livestock yard

paying the highest-evcr prices for beef,

WARREN HELD ON MURDER
 CHARGE; BAIL IS REFUSED

McAlester, Ok, July 30 Sitting beside his two small sons and betray- ing no emotion, Ed Warren heard five state witnesses give the testimony which held him for trial on charge of murdering his wife by giving her poison at their home in Loving, Le- Fibre county, early this week.
 Warren. a we'll known farmer, was arrested Wednesday following the re- ceipt of a report from the state chem ist declaring that traces of poison were found in the liver and stomach which had been sent to Norman for examination.
 When arranged before E. Fl. Green, justice of the peace, Friday morning for preliminary hearing, Warren pleaded not guilty and the state placed five witnesses on the stand. Dr. E. Revels of Poteau, who performed the operation, and Dr. Edwin De Barr. state chernist, who made the chemical analysis of the organs, were the other witnesses for the state. Dr. De Barr declared that there were traces of strychnine in both the stom- ach and liver.
 The sudden death of Mrs. Warren, which occurred at Loving, aroused suspicion and the body was exhumed in order that an analysis of vital or gans might be made.
 When he was arrested Warren was spirited from the Poteau jail to the state penitentiary at McAlester. Feel ing was running high over LeFlSre county and officials feared that an at tempt would be made to lynch him.
 Warren did not take the stand dur ing his preliminary hearing. He was held without bail for trial in the dis trict court. Feeling has subsided and Sheriff F. c. Carter declared that he thought Warren would be safe in the Poteau jail

WOMEN SOLDIERS
 OF POLAND SLAIN
Suffer Heavily in Battle in the De fense of Yilna--B Battalion Was Struggle Is
 Desperate.

Warsaw, Aug. Warsaw was brought in closer contact with the front today by the arrival in a shat tered condition of woman's battal- ion which fought in the defense of Wilma. The battalion suffered heavy losses, and now is being reorganized. Mass has been held in memory of the women soldiers and others who fell defending Wilma.
 Anti-craft guns have been brought into play as part of the defense of Warsaw, as the Bolsheviki are using airplanes frequently in their northern drive.
 Struggle Is Desperate.
 A desperate struggle is going on west of Bialystok on the Brest-Lit ovsk railroad for possession of the line running through Topczja and Du- bina and along the rivers Nuerets and Zoryce. The fighting in the Brody region is reported as favorable to the Poles.
 The emissaries representing Poland in the armistice conference with the Russians have been instructed not to concede any points that might en- danger Poland's independence accord ing to an interview with Vice Pre- mier Daszynski, which was published in today's newspapers. It had been intimated in various quarters that the soviets would insist upon the estab- lishment of soviet government in Poland before even granting an armi- stice, but the Polish emissaries have been instructed to make no conces- sions which would permit the soviets to interfere with the interior affairs of Poland.
 The instructions to the Polsih dele gates likewise order them to hold out against any clauses which might pro- vide for the disarmament of Poland in any way.

SUGAR SHORTAGE TURNS CANA DIAN FARMERS TO SUGAR 7EETS

Written for International News Service
 Winnipeg. Man. Aug. 2.-Short- age of sugar, with accompanying high prices has turned the attention of Canadian farmers to the profits of su- gar beet production.
 Sugar beets grown in Canada and used in the manufacture of sugar in 's S totalled 20i or tons. The crop sold at the ;uga. factories for $2,59S, 7t5. or Sl2.2s ton. Canada had lS,- GOO acres Tn sugar beets that year; which averaged over eleven tons to the acre. The acreage in 1919 was 24. 800, and the average yield was 9.sO tons to the acre. Sugar prices were around Ii cents pound in 1913. They recently touched 2S cents.
 Ontario has produced the bulk of Canadas s sugar beets in the past. Ex- perts declare, however, that agricul- tural conditions are favorable to their cultivation in many parts of Western Canada The financial possibilities of Western sugar beet production are es- pecially interesting just now in view of the recent decision of the Hud- sons Bay Company to close out to farmers all it's remaining lands n the prairie provinces. A considerable acreage is being planted to beets in these provinces and in British Colum- bia

tBy International News service)

(By International News Service)
 Winnipeg. Many July 29.-Thirty thousand farm laborers will be nee essary to harvest the crops of Mani toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, ac- cording to an estimate announced by J. A. Bowman, Commissioner of Colo nization of Manitoba.
 officials of the prairie provinces, railway representatives and farmers recently held a harvest help confer ence in Winnipeg and asked for 5000 men for Manitoba. 5000 for Saskat- chewan and 12,000 for Alberta.
 Half the harvest hands are expect ed to come from eastern Canada. Pro bably 1000 or 5000 will come from the United States and the remainder will be recruital in the towns and cities of western Canada Several thousand farm hands usually follow the harvest northward from Oklahoma and Texas and wind up their seasons campaign in western Canada, where the harvest starts about the time it ends in Min nesota. the Dakotas and Montana Wages in western Canada will be s4 to s6 day and may go higher. While the acreage under crop in the prairie provinces is slightly smaller than last year, the yield is expected to be much ! heavier.
 Reduced rates have been made by the Canadian Pacific, Canadian Ma tional and Grand Trunk Pacific Rail- ways Winnipeg will be the distrib- uting centre. Fares west from here win be one-half cent a mile. In view of the high wages, no shortage of men l is anticipated. tho farmers in Mani toba already have begun to make ap- 1 plieations for iaborers.
