fabrics from what they found here twenty
five years ago.
Their daughters and granddaughters
find something newer, finer, more per-

silk.

FARM BUREAU QUES-
T|ONS To FARMERS
SEEK DEFINITE ANSWERS AS TO
WHAT FARMERS WANT DONE
BY REPRESENTATIVE IN
CONGRESS-.

Chicago, May 31.-The American
list Of questions to the farmers of
the nation, seeking definite answers
as to what the dirt farmers want
done by their representatives in con-
gress. President j. X. Howard OF
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
tion has submitted the following list
of questions to 1900 county farm
bureaus in the United States. The
questions are as follows
What is a bonded warehouse?
Would it be good thing for produc-
ers TO pool bonded warehouse re-
ceipts and issue debentures against
them for sale in the money markets
of the world i'm order to finance their
crop?
How does live stock financing
differ from the financing of ware
houseable farm products? What
method Of financing do you think
would best serve live stock produc-
ers?
lis six months rediscountable pa
per adequate to finance the farm
er's operations which are based on a
twelve month turnover?
What methods are used by the
federal reserve banks in re-discount-
ing paper. Should priority be given
TO loans for basic production of all
kinds?
us the limit of $4,000 on federal
land bank mortgage loans sufficient
to enable young man starting in
life to buy an ordinary 160 acre corn
belt farm?
How many taX-free securities are
outstanding in this country? Who
owns them? Are they property?
Would it be good thing to prohibit
the issuance of all taX-free securi-
ties?
What is the excess profits tax?
What toll does IL take of corpora
tions excess profits? What is the ba-
sis of the campaign against the ex-
cess profits tax? Do you favor its re-
peal?"

died to secure and to safeguard the
liberties and rights We enjoy under
the Star and Stripes, also made a
strong plea for those who have fallen
heirs to these blood-bought treasur-
es, to so use and safeguard them, as
not to bring dishonor to the mem
ory of our heroes and to the flag for
which they made the supreme sacri-
flee. AS law-abidfng citizens in this
reconstruction period, we are called
upon to solve many and grave prob
lens. There are greater battles to
fight than the battles of Lexington
and the Marine. Great moral cour-
age is required on the part of every
law-abiding citizen to help promptly
meet and counteract that mighty
wave of lawlessness that is sweeping
over our land. Breaking the law or
evading the law is the order of the
day Liberty does not mean license.
At the close of these services the
ex-service men led the way to the
church cemetery where two of their
comrades are resting, namely, Ole
Egge and Albert Alme After the
flower girls had placed flowers and
a flag on these two graves, the firing
squad and the bugler, assisted by
the rest of the eX-service men, car
ried out their impressive military
exercise over the graves of their
comrades.

Dead Fish In
Canton Section

Canton, May 31.-Mystery sur
rounds the cause of the killing of
thousands of fish in that section of
the Big Sioux river near Canton.
There had been heavy downpour
of rain a short time before the dis
covery of the dead fish, and the
stream was beginning to show signs
of it from the increased run of wa
ter from tributary creeks.
Suddenly there came into view
of such fishermen as were on the
banks of the river great stretch OF
white objects floating on the SUR
face.
1t developed that the white OBJ
jects were dead fish, the surface OF
the river for distance being lit
terally chicken with them.
No theory yet has been advanced
as to what killed the fish, but 1t is
thought the storm a short time prior
had something to do with the pheno-
menon.

NEW WAR CLOUD
LOOMS IN EUROPE
A REPETITION OF THE BALKAN
TROUBLES SEEMS INIMI-
NENT.

Rome, May 31.-Sweeping down
from the highlands of Macedonia
and Albania great bands of irregular
soldiers today are threatening to
start another Balkan war which may
involve all of Europe. The fighters
who are almost bandit in their style
of warfare entered foreign countries.
Pillage and arson marked their trail
The governments thus taunted inn
mediately planned to raise forces to
combat them. The old Balkan trou-
bles were involved in the fighting.
Greece wants more land to the north.
Bulgaria wants to reclaim some of
the territory lost in the war. Ser
bia wants to retain her newly won
lands. Latest advices received here
showed the situation especially cri-
tical in Macedonia and Albania,
whose problems have not been solv-
ed by the treaties of st. German and
severes. Reports showed that large
bands of irregulars have been re-
cruited throughout the Balkans, al
most every portion of the war torn
regions having contributed its share
of fighting men. The governments
back of them are arming to protect
their legitimate interests.

GOVERNOR ADDRESSES
GRADUATING CLASS
GIVES TIMELY ADVICE TO AL
PENA HIGH SCHOOL CLASS
BANQUET AND PARTY HELD.

Alpena, May 31.-The graduating
class of the Alpena high school,
James Hammer, George Moore, Me-
dora Dean and Leah Millhouse, and
teachers and friends listened to a
mastery address by Governor Nc
Master in the Methodist church.
The address was filled with the
best of advice for young and old. 1t
especially dwelt on the fact that
hard work is the price of success in
this world; also, honesty must en-
ter into the life as one of the main
factors, bringing in the life and work
of Lincoln as one illustration of what
work and honest purpose in life can
accomplish; how he was able TO
stand alone against the whole people
because his honest convictions were
to carry through a certain purpose.
Also, that the word cant" should
have no meaning when il comes To
carrying out an honest purpose; thar
the world was before the graduating
class and that no purpose was impos-
sible if they had the will to dare
and to do. The big things of life
were not gained in a moment, but by
hard, constant toll, and anyone could
gain them if they were willing 10
pay the price.
He paid tribute to the mothers,
telling the class that she was one
that would always believe in them
when all others failed and for them
not to forget the sacrifices the moth
er had made for them.
The governor paid tribute to the
soldiers that made the supreme sac
rifice that it might be possible for
the graduates to be a free people,
and that our flag, the greatest in the
world, might wave over a free peo-
pie.
A banquet for the governor, SEN
iors and teachers was given by Mrs.
Nettie Hammer at six o'clock, also
a party arranged by the commercial
club took place Immediately after
the address.

PRESIDENT To CONFER
WITH FINAL NC|ERS
GROUPS OF BANKERS AND FL
NANCIERS FROM EVERY SEC
TION OF COUNTRY TO BE
CONSULTED.

Washington, May 31.-A group of
bankers and financiers from every
section of the country are to be
consulted by President Harding be-
fore he concludes the series of finan-
cial conferences begun Wednesday
night at a white house dinner when
the eastern banking interests were
chiefly represented. No. appoint
ments for further conferences have
yet been made but it is probable that
a group of financial leaders from
the middle west will be the next to
be summoned by the president.
1t was indicated in administration
circles that financial men are very
unanimous in believing that the fed
eral reserve board holds the key to a
proper readiustment of general III
nancial conditions. Those consulted
are understood to have told the pre-
sident that in their opinion the board
could go a long way towards restor-
alton of normal conditions by exert
ing its influence to keep loans at
reasonable rate and on a sound ba-
sis.
Removal of restrictive measures
placed bv the board on credit eXten-
sion, under the federal reserve act
was said to have been advocated by
the bankers as a means of solving
the problem facing the farmers
Progressive rediscount rates, it
was contended, work a hardship on
the agricultural interests because
banks which are charged more FOR
money merely pass the increased cost
along to the borrowers.
Legislation to permit longer cred
it's to the farmers through extension
of the limits fixed by the reserve act
on agricultural papers eligible for
rediscount at reserve banks was SAID
TO have been favored. The opinion
was expressed that restriction OF ell
gible agricultural paper TO SIX
months was too early maturity IN
the case of many farmers.
A phase of the export problem
which it is understood was discuss
ed was the question of possible
guarantee of the stability OF the gov
ernments of countries into when
American goods night be shipped.
The administration is understood
however, to have taken the position
that this government could not un-
dertake any guarantees on behalf OF
the exporters but should confine its
aid to cooperation between govern
mental agencies and the various
factors working together in the
country for world rehabilitation.

TAX MEASURES
ARE DRAGGING
MAY NOT BE COMPLET D BE-
FORE NEXT JANUA u.

Washington, May 31-1 he main
purpose of the special session of con-
gress was to revise the tariff and
tighten tax burdens, but according
to conservative estimates today these
tasks will not be completed before
next fall. The house ways and
means committee has been framing
permanent tariff bill for two
months and has struck, several big
snags. 1t has hoped to report the
measure to the house by June l, but
this is impossible members of the
committee do not think it can be re-
ported for another month and the
house will fight over it another
month. Some members of congress
believe they will be showing good
speed if the tax measures are ready
to go into effect January l.

FREIGHT RATES

RAIL CHIEF DECLARES RATES
NOT PREVENTING RESUMP-

Washington, May S1-The freight
rate. does not show an unreasonable
relation to the delivered price of
goods and it cannot be shown that
in any of the territories it is pre-
venting the resumption of industrial
operations or otherwise prohibiting
movement, Edward Chambers, vice
president of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe, declared today before
the senate interstate commerce COM
mittee in it's investigation in the
railroad situation. Fluctuations in
the price of bituminous coal during
the past two or three years Mr..
Chambers said, have ranged greater
than the entire freight rate.
Readjustment downward of freight
rates on lumber from the Pacific
coast, he said, has not resulted in a
stimulation in traffic and existing
rates on coal and grain have not re-
duced shipments of those commod-
tiles. The rates as increased by the
interstate commerce commission on
lumber from the Pacific coast terri
tory to Chicago and the west, he ex-
planned, were recently readjusted
to fit competitive commercial cOndi-
tions by reducing the rate to Chi
cago and to the Mississippi river
from soc per hundred to 73c and to
Kansas City and Omaha from 73c to
sc Lee, the rate to st. Paul and

members of the American Legion and

"The fact that there were eight
times as many men in the army as
there were In the navy during the
World war has tended to minimize the
needs of the navy ex-service men," Mr..
