MORE ROOM IN SCHOOLS
IS PLAN OF OFFICIALS
Enrolment of $4,000 Is Expected
at September Open
ing.

With the public schools of the Dis
trict closed for the summer vacation
period, officials turned their attention
today to formulating plans for reliev-
ing overcrowding when the schools
reopen in September. From present
Indications both high and graded
schools will be more seriously con-
gested than last September. and
additional remedial measures will
have to be taken to accommodate an
expected increase in enrolment.
approximately sixty thousand chill
dren were enrolled in the schools
when they cloesd yesterday, and
officials believe that when they re-
open in the fall the enrolment will
reach the $4,000 mark Consequently
school authorities are confronted
with a problem more serious and per-
picking than the one last year.
The plans for accommodating the
expected increased enrolment will be
completed during the summer. 50 thai
no time will be lost when the schools
reopen to seat the children. The sue
cess of the two-platoon system, which
was operated at the Park View School

other grade schools where over.
crowding is more serious.
In the high schools. where the en-
rollment will increase about 1000, ar

cided on. This plan has been triec
at Central High School successfully
and in the belief of Supt. ThurStor
can be tried in all other senior insti.

WILL SHOW BY PICTURES
HOW DRIVERS CAN TURN
Capt. Headley's Program Is Given
Endorsement by Capt.
Gessford.

Because of apparent lack of UNDER
standing on part of drivers as to
the correct method Of signaling to in
dicate what direction a vehicle is
to take in making a turn or coming to
a stop. Capt A j. Headley, in charge
of Maj Gessfords traffic corps, has
obtained permi ssion to have photo
graphs taken for the guidance of the
public.
In asking the permission of the su-
perintendent of police, Capt. Headley
explained that he wanted four pic
lures to show the following:
Vehicle about to make the left
hand turn: Vehicle should work into
the crown Of the street and driver
should extend left hand in a hori-
zontal position.
Vehicle about to make a right
hand turn: Vehicle should work into
the right curb and driver should ex
tend left hand and describe a circle,
indicating to oncoming traffic the fact
that they are to pass on his left.
vehicle about to stop in street for
any purpose: Driver to extend hand
outward and upward at an angle of
about ninety degrees"
Maj Gessford approved the sugges-
tion of the traffic captain. He be-
lieves the greatest amount of public
ity should be given in an effort to
reduce the number of traffic accidents.

COAL COMMISSION
TOLD OF FB|GPROF|T
ATF|RST HEARING
Demand of $6 a Day Mini.
mum for Pennsylvania
Men Made.
By the Associated Press.

SCRANTON. Pa, June 24.-The An
thracite Coal Commission, recently
appointed by President Wilson, open
ed hearings today in the wage contro-
versy between the hard-coal operators
and mine workers. The commission is
taking up task over which joint
conference subcommittee of operators
and miners wrestled in vain for six
weeks in April and May
The commissions program called Tor
the hearing of the miners representa-
tiNes first, and ii was expected union
officials of the three districts compris-
ing the anthracite field would be the
first witnesses.
Mr.. Murray Is Heard.
The general public and the mine
workers were held up as the joint
victims of profiteering on the part OF
the coal operators by Philip Murray,
vice president of the United Mine
Workers of America. in presenting to
the commission a demand that the
workers in the Pennsylvania anthra-
cit fields be granted a minimum wage
of S6 day
IF the excessive profits resulting
from the coal monopoly were elm
mated and the industry conducted
with a wholesome regard for the pub
lie welfare said MIR. Murphy, "a
liberal return could be made to CAPT
tai honestly and prudently invested.
the wages of the anthracite workers
could be increased to American liv-
ing standards, and the price of coal
to the consumer could be greatly re-
duced."
The United Mine Workers vice
president declared that the miners
had remained at work since the be-
ginning of the controversy in March.
preferring to suffer individual hard
ships rather than bring about gen.
eral suffering to the public.
Throughout this period of more
than three months the representatives
of the United Nine Workers have
realized the Importance of continu-
Gus production" Mr.. Murray said.
They have also been keenly con-
SciouS of the far-reaching Industrial
results which would result from a
stopping of work.
Murray declared that the mine
workers were prepared to prove con-
clusively that profiteering of the big
coal interests. and not wage advances
to the workers. was responsible for
the soaring prices to the consumer.
Exploit "Men and Public.''
I'VE can prove from official data
he asserted, that there is no relation
between labor costs of mining an
thracite coal and the exorbitant price
which is being exacted from the con-
sumer; or, in other words, that the
rates of pay of anthracite mine work
ers are not the determining factor in
fixing the price of coal to the con-
sumner.
I'VE shall show that the interests
of the anthracite workers and other
classes of workers are identical with
the interests of the public. and that
both the public and the workers are
being exploited"
Mr.. Murray said the attitude of the
operators in refusing to recognize the
union was short sighted policy.
IF the operators would recognize
the union" he said, "the union would
be strengthened and put in position
to enforce it's contracts"

obtaining very accurate data on the
average yields and total production Of
cotton through reports of ginners, and
in the recent years a few states have
been obtaining reliable reports on to-
tai production and average yields OF
grain crops through reports of thresh
ers.
The necessity for such reports on
grain crops became accute during the
war and the federal government,
through the Food Administration, pro-
vided for obtaining them by means OF
licensing threshermen. The results
obtained were generally satisfactory
and 4 number OF state enacted laws
providing for the licensing of thresh-
ermen and requiring them to make ro-
ports at frequent intervals during the
threshing season on the acreage and
production of all grains threshed.
Michigan enacted such a law four
years ago and has obtained through 1t
perhaps better results than any other
state. This law requires that all
threshermen obtain license each year
and makes it unlawful for anyone to
do threshing without first having OBJ
tanned license. No license fee is re-
ouired, but each thresherman is re
auired to furnish to some state author
ity once each week a report on the
acreage and production of all crops
threshed during the week. The re-
ports are turned over to the state crop
reporting service and are the basis foi
all reports on the average yields oi
grain in that state. 1t is expected
that such measure, modelled after tl'
Michigan act, will be introduced in the
legislature here this winter.

BRING YOUR COW HORSE,
But KEEP HIS MIND ON
JOB OF COPING $500

Bring Oh your COW chaser and let's
see what it can do. Cut out the buck
ing and show US some service!
The National Western Stock Show
management hopes to get message
in some such form as the above to
every cowman in the state. Five hum
dred dollars is the aggregate amount
of the prizes to be offered at the COM
ing show for the COW horses that ex-
hibit the best appearance and perform
ance.
The Western Stock Show board is
going fifty-fifty with the State Board
of Livestock Inspection Commission
ers on this prize giving. The state
board some time ago discussed the ad-
visibility of encouraging the better
breeding of range animals for riding
use. The Stock Show is regarded as
the surest agency of bringing out
ideas in this connection and discover
ing to stockmen of the West a more
scientific system of breeding their
range animals than they are pursuing
at present.
The judges in the COW pony contest
at the Stock Show Jan. 1929, will
comprise a committee made up Of di-
rectors of the State Board of Stock
Inspection Commissioners. Prizes will
be awarded on various points, includ
ing agility, stake turning, gate open
ing and informal tests which will bring
out q horses good sense and adapt
ability for range uses. The entrants
will be required to name as closely
as they can the breeding of their ami
mails
It is expected that goodly volun-
of entries will be made in this class.

Vale. Non-Partisan League

The recent election resulted In wip-
ing out the North Dakota Non-Part-
isan League as a political menace IN
all western states.
Farmers are withdrawing financial
support and refusing to pay their post
dated checks and subscriptions and
there are more bills than c;.sh.
Banks are refusing to take the
checks and one bank in Colorado re-
ports holding over a hundred OF the
SIG obligations for dues.
When the campaign of education
against the league was started, many
of the farmers who had given these
checks made up their minds that they
had made mistake. The first thing
they did was to stop payment upon
their checks for their membership fees.
1t is estimated that the league mem
bership has been reduced by fully one
half in the last few weeks, and coun-
try bankers and merchants predict the
league will be thing of the past with
in another year.

SHOCKED CORN CAN
BE MADE INTO GOOD
SILAGE LATE IN YEAR
Shocking Surplus Corn After Silos are
Filled and Refilling with Shock
cd Corn Always Proves
Economical Method of
Handling.

Corn cut at the proper time and
put into the shock can be made into
good silage, even in the middle of the
winter" says Alvin Kezer of the Ag-
ronomy Department of the Agricultur-
al College. "of course, such silsge
will not be as palatable as when silo-
ed early and there will be more mech
anical waste of leaves and other parts
of the corn plant because the shock
ed corn has been stored for part of
the winter, either in the shock or in
stacks. But if this dry fodder is run
through a silage cutter and the proper
amount of water run in with it, it
will make good silage and much
more palatable feed than the dry fod-
der, which will be eaten by the stock
with less waste.
Sometimes, shocking the surplus
corn after the silos are filled and re-
filling from the shocked corn is very

ever reason may be to him controlling,

tions as he may willingly enter into

can court of justice"
The grange is against labor radical
ism which would throttle industry and
limit production by enforcement Of
closed shop rules which deny employ
ment to large numbers of competent
workmen.

Competition. Sugar and Beets

After six years of abnormal condi-
tions in the sugar industry, things are
now getting back again to normal
This means competition.
There are unmistakable signs that
sugar prices will work lower, which
means that in order to make fair pro-
fits the sugar companies must increase
production and decrease manufactur-
ing cost. The high cost of labor is
one of the most vital issues and par
ticularly so as the price of sugar de-
clines.
One of the most effective ways To
Offset declining sugar prices and the
high cost Of labor is the installation
OF electrically driven machinery In
completely electrified plants, the labor
output per man is increased TO a re.
markable degree.
The farmer is in the same position
He must figure on his profits coming
from increased production per acre and
efficient handling OF his crops, rather
tnan from ebnormally high prices as
for past few years.

Accurate Crop Reports

Several Colorado people who are in,
terested in accurate crop reports for
the state have within the past few
months been endeavoring to establish
some method of obtaining more de-
pcndable data than are now available
on average yields of the various crops
by counties. Under the agricultural
statistics act passed two years ago
fairly reliable information is obtained
through county assessors on the acre
age devoted in the several counties to
all crops, but the State Cooperative
Crop Reporting Service is forced to de-
pend largely upon the estimates OF
voluntary reporters for average yields.
The State Immigration Department,
which is the state agency that cooper
ate with the United States Bureau of
Crop Estimates in preparing and es-
tablishing crop reports for the state.
has made some study Of the methods
employed in other states TO obtain data
on average yields. 1t appears from
these Investigations that other states
generally have found it extremely diff
ficult to obtain accurate information
on average yields per acre except for
crops which must be threshed, ginned.

compelled to go to Denver or
