HAM0N MURDER
TRIAL CLOSING
Clara Smith Hamon Probably

Sometime Today
(By United PresS)

Courthouse, Ardmore, Okla, March
II. (By Carl Victor Little. CLARA
Smith Hamon probably will know her
fate today. The jury which sat on
her trial on the charge Of numbering
the wealthy and influential Jake l..
'Hamon probably was to be given the
case within a few hours after the
court opened at 8 o'clock today.
At The opening of court Judge Tom
Champion was to rule whether or not
the defense attorney would have to
present Arguments to the jury. "Wild
BILL Mclean, leading defense attor-
ney, and his assistants are so cOnfi-
dent Of winning without argument
that they waived the right to pre-
sent the case to the jury. Prosecu-
tor Prince Freezing said that he was
entitled to q chance to present the
case to the jurors and demanded that
the court force the defense attorney
to talk.
The prosecution has the right to
open and close arguments, Freezing
declared. 1t was opened by Prosecu-
tor Brown. The speed with which
Clara's trial was rushed through has
been a record for sensational muir

Diversified Farming Making
Big Strides in Minnesota, as
Shown BY Reports
FARMERS PLANNING TO
GET MAXIMUM INCOME
Indications Are that Variety
Plan Of Farming Will Make
Big Gain This Year

St. Paul, March 1.-THE year 1921
promises to be memorable as record
ing an unusual development of Min
nesota agriculture on a diversified
basis. Judging from information
CLEANED from every section OF the
state during the past week for the
weekly review of enterprises issued
by the Merchants National bank of
st. Paul. =
Although Minnesota farmers hold
unusually large quantities of wheat
and other grains and although not
much has been said thus far regard
ing the sRheaatacreage for this year,
it has been noted quite often that
farmers have not been backward in
making plans to obtain maximum
income from their land, stock and
poultry resources. Diversified farm
ing has made great strides in the
state for several years. Bankers and
conservative business men are in
clined to believe that the progress
will be even more noticeable this
wear. Some of the reasons follow:
Success of farmers on trunk line
highways, who sold large quantities
of produce, especially on Sundays,
last season, to motorists. 1mpend-
ing drive by sugar beet companies, in
Guiding the company at Chaska, for
unlimited acreage. Aggressive cam
paign Of state, district and county
farm development associations. Pure
bred cattle and hog activities. The
fact that a number of counties which
have started to prepare for their tai!
fairs are behind movements to award
prizes to boys and girls clubs for
blue ribbon exhibits. Unprecedented
land clearing activities in the north
ern counties. Development of the
clover industry. Demands from 9TH
ar states for Minnesotas' high grade
cattle and hogs. Publicity which
Minnesota stock and dairy products
are receiving in farm journals, trade
magazines, business reviews and the
lil,e.
Bankers have made practically no
comment for several weeks on the
grain situation. A recent statement
issued by the federal department Of
agriculture announced that grain
stocks in storage are unprecedented
but many Minnesota bankers incline
to the opinion that farmers through
out the state have quietly disposed Of
a considerable part Of their wheat,
oats, corn and other grains. Never
theless, it is a fact, according to mill
ers, that elevators in Minnesota are
filled and that at no time has the
movement of grain to market been
noticeably heavy. This quietude in
the grain field may be contrasted with
increasing activities in practically ev-
ery other branch Of farm business.

McPartlin, International Falls
Proposes Bill for General
;. ). Occupation Tax
TAXES ALMOST EVERY
KNOWN OCCUPATION
House Passes Measure Provid'
ing for Submission Of Income
Tax Amendment
(By United Press)

St. Paul, Marci, 1.-THE occupa-
ton tax bill brought forth a pre-
dicted avalanche of occupation taxes,
while the legislators intended to make
the occupation tax a polite substl-
tute for the tonnage tax on iron ore.
The butcher, baker, doctor, lawyer
banker and broker-even the plumber
and the electrician-may be taxed II
a bill proposed. by Representative Nc
Partlin Of International Falls goes
through. His general occupation tax
bill was offered in the house during
the senate discussion of the occupa-
tional tax on iron ore which passed
the house recently.
It covers ten classes, taxing every
professional, trade or business from
/ per cent to 6 per cent. The iron
industrial occupation tax calls for =
per cent levy. The McPartlin meas
ure is believed to be aimed at the de-
feat of all proposed occupational
taxes. It would tax almost every
known profession and business in
some form.
Violent opposition was expressed
by business and professional men and
tradesmen today. The MsPartlin
bill was referred to the committee
on taxes. The senate tax committee
set public hearing on royalty tax
for 1880 p. m. Monday and the hear
ing on the iron ore mining occupa-
tional tax for 2 p. m. Tuesday.
The house passed the measure last
night providing for the submission of
constitutional amendment for a
state income tax.

All Farmers Interested in Spud
Warehouse at Be Ben Are =.
to Meet Saturday
FARMERS CLUBS BACK
MOVE FOR WAREHOUSE
Adequate Storage and Market
Facilities to Be Planned
=; -. =. II e.. ~"
for Potato Growers

All farmers interested in a potato
warehouse and produce association at
Bemidji are urged to attend general
meeting called for Saturday, March
10, at 1880 p. NJ, at the Civic and
Commerce rooms, City hall, Bemidji.
The need of adequate storage and
marketing facilities for farm pro-
ducts at Beinidji has long been, felt
not only by the farmers but the bust
ness men as we'll. 1t is felt that these
marketing facilities should, be such
that Bemidji would become the mark
citing center not only for its immed1-
ate vicinity but for large section
Of this part of the, state; and logi-
cally so because of it's, location and
railroad facilities.
The plans made for the oraginza-
ton of community market two years
ago failed to materialize. This has
been a keen disappointment to every
one interested and resulted in much
discussion which finally bore fruit
In a meeting of representatives OF five
farmers clubs at the farm bureau Of
flee about a month ago. The organ
kation. Of a local cooperative pro
duce association, with the possibility
Of cooperation with other similar as
sociations of this entire district for
more efficient marketing of farm pro-
duce was discussed and outlined.
Each representative present agreed
to present the proposition to his club
at the next meeting. All clubs but
one voted t. back such move and
appointed committee to meet with
similar committees from other clu BIS
for further elaboration and to ar
range for a general meeting. These
committees met Tuesday at the farm
bureau office and decided to call a
general meeting at once.
sRA warehouse Of approximately
100, 900 lbushel capacity was suggest
ed to take care Of future needs. The
plan for cooperation with other pro-
duce associations was heartily endors-
cd; These and other important recon-
r1endations will be explained and pre-
sented for discussion at the meeting
Saturday.
{ The meeting is called for 1880 p.
m. in order to give sufficient time tor
thorough discussion. Definite steps
towards organization will be taken
at that time. It is hoped that every
farmer growing potatoes will make
It his business to attend, listen, take
part in the discussion, and If con-
yinced that such an organization and
warehouse is good and necessary, get
behind it and boost, and finally when
the association is working, support 1t
with 100 per cent loyalty.
