Farmers Of U. S.
Appeal to Harding
Agriculturists Are Dissatisfied With In
terstate Commerce Commission and
viii Confer With Harding.

Farmers representing agricultural
interests from all parts of the United
States. meeting under the auspices of
the National Farmers Union, have de
cided to take their fight for a re
duction in freight rates direct to Presi-
dent Harding.
This decision was reached after
spokesman for the farmers had CON
ferred with members of the Interstate
Commerce commission to urge lower
rates. The delegates apparently were
dissatisfied with the outcome of the
conference.
Officials of the Farmers Union said
President Harding would be asked TO
call n conference of shippers. labor,
federal rail agencies. steel and other
interests which furnish The railroads
supplies, and bankers TO discuss a vol
untary REIMBURSEMENT so MS to restore
commerce to its accustomed channel
and give an impetus to business and
agriculture.
The three-days' conference to dis
cuss various problems affecting farm
ers' welfare was called by Charles s..
Barrett. president of the union.
In opening. the conference, Mr.. Bar
rett urged the creation of Il joint con-
gr%essional committee to inquire into
and suggest remedial measures for the
agricultural situation.
Money and credit have been denied
farmers despite the fact that more
money was available in 1920 than in
any previous year." Mr.. Barrett said,
adding:
1T is a notorious fact that agricul-
tural organizations nave not been
afforded by the transportation systems
of the country. the facilities given cor

Mr.. Barrett urged immediate enact

\ public land bulletin from Washing
ton says: "As far back MS 1898 the be
lief was general that the cream of the
public land had been taken. with only n
thin skim-milk left. Land office of
ficials then were wondering whence
their maximum compensation would
come. and thought they saw the begin
ming of the end. However. there are
now more district land offices than
there were n quarter of a century ago.
and they continue to be the proverb-
tally busy places. almost every year
showing an increase over the preced-
ing one. The area Of allowed entries
for the fiscal year 1920 was nearly D
OOO.OOO acres in excess of such area in
1919. and during 1920 patents were is
sued covering an area of 11.S50.4O1
acres. which is an increase of 1913. 39g
acres over 1919
Locally, the same belief has existed
that all the public land worth taking
had been filed upon.@and still new
settlers continue to come in. 1t is safe
TO say that during the past year a
much greater area of public land in
the Platte valley has been filed upon
under the homestead laws than during
any year in the past. Since January
hrst the homesteads filed upon in the
vicinity of Saratoga and Encampment
total considerably in excess of 10000
acres, II the indications are that the
coming yea will see all records broken
in the number of public land filings in
this region.

HOW TO PREVENT AND FIGHT
 PNEUMONIA
BY FRANKLIN c. WELLS, Nj. D.,

Equitable Life Assurance Society. THIS is the pneumonia time of the year-loo out for it. There is much that you do to prevent its at tacking you-and to fight it if it does attack you. Pneumonia means an inflammation of the lungs" and nearly all cases are caused by gern-usualy fly ing about in the air, and known as the pneumococcus It doesn't make much difference what name you call it by-it is bad citizen-very dangerous and should be fought in every possible way. There are two ways of combating this dread disease
 FirSt-By keeping it out of the body. This is the best way
 Do not go near one sick with the disease unless ab solutely necessary, and then use great care
 Always wash your hands most thoroughly before eating.
 As the germs lodge in the nose-throat and mouth great care should be used not to allow them to get into the air-and fly about to attack other people.
 Never spit on the floOr-the dust spreads them, as they are not killed by dryness.
 Never cough or sneeze-without using cloth or handkerchief-remember the other fellow and be "safe man."
 Get this habit of carefulness.
 A careful habit is the best bodyguard-and if you practice safety and administrations will follow you
 Second-The next way of fighting the disease IS to put up strong resistance to the intruderif it gets into your body
 Keep yourself constantly in physical fighting trim
 Your safety will depend on this. Keep the skin clean and healthy-by bathing 1t morning and night.
 Avoid undue fatigue and bodily depression-ths pre- disposes to the trouble.
 Try not expose the body to great extremes of heat or cold-or going suddenly into the cold air-when cessively heated. This weakens the system.
 Keep the feet dry and warm.
 Try to be very regular in eating
 Avoid alcoholic liquor-this essens your resistance to pneumonia-paralyzes the white blood corpusces- the policemen of the blood-and makes you an "easy mark
 If you have persistent or lingering cough-pain in the chest-a chill and fever-go home at once-to bed and call your doctor.
 Live in the fresh air-morning, noon and all night long. Don't be afraid of pure airit won't hurt you
 Try to keep well-in fighting trin-not only to re- sist pneumonia-but every form of disease bug that may come along Your wages depend upon your production-your pro ducton upon your efficencyand your efficiency upon | your health.

REPORT EX- KAISER MAY MAKE HIS HOME
 ON MEXICAN ESTATE

Considerable interest has been aroused in southern California and Arizona by the claim of one Baron von Schucken that he represents the former royal family of Germany in negotiating for large estate in Mex ico where the ex-kaiser and the re- mains of his court may establish their permanent home.
 While there have been no indications from abroad that the house of Hohen- zollern intended to desert its refuge in Holland. Baron von Schucken has gone so far as to announce that tenta- tive plans have been made to slocate Wilhelm and his relatives and attend ants on the huge Terrazaz ranch in Chihuahua, a small empire in itself. If this were ever done it would be possible for one to journey to the court of the former emperor from Phoenix in days railroad ride.
 The baron. who has been holding forth of late in Los Angeles. where his various announcements have been made, has not stated why Mexico was chosen by the Hohenzollerns for their future place of residence. However, it may be surmised that the ex-royal family has no great love for the Unit cd States, and no one would expect it to come here. Moreover, there is no prohibition law in Mexico.
 According 10 newspaper accounts, this Baron von Schucken proposes that his royal principals purchase a large tract of land in Mexico and sublet it to the small army of faithful ones who would follow them from Europe. Agri- cultural development would be under taken on a large scale, while the tract would be of sufficient size to give the sx-kaiser an estate larger than many European principality.
 The baron is reported to have beer negotiating with a syndicate in Los Angeles, which is reputed to hold 2 large acreage in Mexico, and witt other interests. In fact. last report, were that a party of Los Angeles ant New York landholders D Mexico wa to leave southern California last Sun day for Mexico City to put befor President Obregon the scheme to colo nize dethroned royalty in the south ern republic.

 Police Chief Brisbois issued the order on the theory that a weaponless crim- inal is harmless or nearly so, he said 'If we succeed in disarming the high wayman or the murderer, we have ac- complished a great deal.

Instructions have been issued to construct the F1orence-Casa Grande diversion dam by force account, and these instructions will be carried out as soon as conditions permit, it is stated in a letter from w. M. Reed, chief en- gineer of the Indian service, department of the interior, to Dwight B. Heard. The diversion dam will irrigate about 62, 900 acres of land in the Florence Casa Grande valley. and is regarded by many as but a preliminary step to the building of the great San Carlos res ervoir
 Mir. Reeds letter, bearing assurance of the construction of the diversion dam, was in response to the following letter of inquiry from MT. Heard:
 Dec. 30, 1920. U. s. Indian Service,

 Gentlemen: Attention Mir. Reed
 I have just learned today, through a reliable source, that definite arrange ments have been made to commence the construction of the Casa Grande- Florence diversion dam on January ], 1921, by force account.

MANY ASK PERMITS
 ID CARRY WEAPONS

Phoenix is literally "up in arms'' as result of the rapid spread of the crime wave, Police Chief George O. Brisbois declared yesterday. Applica- tions for permission to carry concealed weapons are being received at police headquarters at a rate of more than 100 a day, he said.
 There is no law which empowers us to give any man, other than an officer, permission to carry a gun" the police head announced. "The only way that we can lawfully permit a man to carry weapon is to deputize him as a, special officer, and it would be i'm possible to deputize all persons making application.
 Undoubtedly. many of these persons should be permitted to carry weapons as @ matter of self protection. Especially is this true of men em- ployed nights and who go to their homes late at night or early in the morning. But if We grant one person the right to carry a concealed weapon. by deputizing him. we must grant all applications"
