GRIswoID WON THE GAME

The baseball nine from Griswold
played with the home team on the
home diamond last Sunday. Before
the game progressed very far it be-
gan to rain, but the large number
of fans remained and insisted that
the game be finished. The visitors
won by a score of to 0. 1t was a
close, well-played game.
Another game will be played on
the home diamond next Sunday when
Audubon will contend for honors
with the team from Guthrie Center.
This also promises to be good
game.
The members of the team are CIV
ing the battery splendid support and
there is every reason to believe that
the Audubon team will do some re-
markable playing this season. The
management urges a large attend
ance at the games here at home in
order to meet the heavy expenses.

CAN BLAME THEMSELVES
Troubles of Live Stock Men Their
Own Making Says Packer
President

Fluctuations in the live stock mar
ket are largely due to the unscien-
tific and inefficient system employed
by producers in marketing their
products and the real trouble at the
basis of the whole question is not so
much a packers problem as it is
producers problem, Thomas e. Will
son of Chicago, president of the In
stitute of American Meat Packers,
told the house committee on agri-
culture today in appearing in oppos-
ition to the Norris Mclaughlin bill
to control the packing industry.
Mr.. Wilson asserted that legisla-
tion of the sort proposed would
serve to divert the largest single
industry in America from energetic
efforts to adjust itself to a changed
and difficult situation. The result,
he said would be quite as harmful to
the live stock producers as to the
packing industry itself as what is
injurious to one is bound to prove
harmful to the other.
The Norris-M Mclaughlin bill, Mr..
Wilson declared, does not deal with
or solve the economic problems of
the producing or consuming public.
He added that by delegating radical
and revolutionary powers to a COM
mission it would set up a form Of
governmental despotism over private
business which would be destructive
to private initiative and individual
enterprise. He asserted that the in
dustry already was supervised and
regulated by more laws than any
other industry in the country.
Mr.. Wilson declared other indus
tries were making much greater
profits than the meat men. During
1920, he said, the five larger packers
averaged a profit Of about 10 cents
on each animal slaughtered by them
and that about 81 per cent OF every
dollar received by the packers went
to live stock producers. The falling
off in export demand, decreased
meat consumption per capita in the
United States, increase in unemploy-
ment and decrease in purchasing
power: the development of thrift in
consumers buying and the general
decline in commodity values and
general deflation were ascribed by
the witness as reasons for the de-
cline in prices of live stock and
meats.

GERMANY DECIDES
TO ACCEPT TERMS
ULTlMATUM TO GERMANY EN-
PRED TODAY AND LONDON
TERMS ARE ACCEPTED

The Reichstag Monday night &C
cepted the allied ultimatum. The
vote was 220 TO ITS.
Chancellor Wirth, prior to the
vote, announced the government ac-
cepted the ultimatum. He asked
that the Reichstag give an immedi-
ate decision.
(The allied reparations bill calls
in the main, for payment of 1867
0O0 900, 900 gold marks and co,lec-
tion of an export duty of 1879
DR.. Wirth, says a dispatch to the
London Times, has succeeded in
forming a cabinet from the Centrist
party, the German Democrats and
majority Socialists.
DR.. Wirth, pointing out in the
Riechstag the alternatives to the
ultimatum, said that Germany could
sign. thus putting on Germany a
burden the end of which could not
be forseen, or refuse to sign. after
which would follow occupation of
the Ruhr, with terrible results to
Germany's industrial and economic
life now and in the future.
The unity and freedom Of Ger
many, continued the chancellor, had
weighed most with the new cabinet,
and the ministry had decided co ac-
cept the London terms, which they
would undertake to fulfill within
the limits of Germany's capacity.
This would be possible only thru
the work and energy OF the people,
he said.
Except for a Communist inter
ruption when DR.. Wirth asserted he
was acting in the interests of free
dom, there was no demonstration
during the speech.
DR.. Wirth came into prominence
in German politics early last year
when he entered the cabinet Of
Chancellor Mueller as minister OF
the treasury. He served through
out the Mueller regime and last
June was appointed minister OF
finance under Chancellor Fehren-
bach, whose cabinet resigned last
week.
DR.. Wirth, member of the CEN
ter or clerical party, was formerly
minister of finance in the Baden
government. He has long been one
Of the leaders Of the center party
in South Germany.
Previous Berlin advices had in
dicated the probability that the ma
jority Socialist, Paul Loeb, presi-
dent of the Reichstag, would be
asked TO form a ministry.

PROMOTER SUED
FOR SELLING STOCK
CLAIM OIL PROJECT MISREPRE-
sENTED TO FARMERS IN OIL
FIELD OF SOUTH DAKOTA

Colonel George w. Adams
nearly everybody in these parts
knows the Colonel" Walnut's gen.
ial and ever optimistic promoter Of
this, that and the other things
again in the limelight. Which is
nothing new for the colonel" by
the way. This time he is the CEN
trail figure in a lawsuit brought by
group of angry and determined
residents of Blunt, s. d. who say
they invested several thousands each
in an oil scheme of the "colonel's."
Now they are trying to save some
thing from the wreck.
There are fifty OF the stockholders
in the Blunt oil project who are
parties plaintiff to the suit. They
aver that Colonel" Adams appeared
in Hughs county, South Dakota,
last year accomanied by an alleged
expert geologist" who discovered
unlimited indications of an abund-
ance OF oil and gas near Blunt"
Each of the fifty stockholders, so
they say paid in $4,000 in cash and
gave notes to the amount of $4,000
to finance the developing company.
The Colonel is alleged to have rep
resented he held leases to thousands
of acres of land in the vicinity Of
the proposed we'll and that he owned
four and one-half acres where the
we'll was to be put down. The stock
holders were to get a one-half inter-
est in the whole.
Colonel Adams put a. drilling
outfit on the ground, represented to
have been paid for from the money
advanced by the citizens, but they
tell the court they have discovered
that Adams gave note for $500,
secured by chattel mortgage on the
plant, payable May LIST, this year.
They appealed 20 the court when
they discovered thiss chattel mort
gage was about to ne roreclosed and
received a temporary restraining or
der. They say Adams represented
himself as the agent of the Iowa
farmers.
Colonel" Adams is well known in
Audubon, especially to the older res
idents, and was in Audubon few
wars ago irving IN nut over a troll
ley line. He has been a promoter
for years. One of his ventures was
the promotion of the Treynor rail.
road. This was done at an expense
of several hundreds of thousands OF
dollars to his friends. He is said to
have severed his connections with
the scheme before the road was sold
and finally junked.

bands and family at the w. o. w.
hall this evening. Supper will be

Still More Room

The census bureaus figures on
the density of population show that
there are 35 1-2 persons to each
square mile Of territory in the Unit
ed States. This equals Is acres for
each person, or 80 acres for the av-
erage family. People who think this
is crowded country do not realize
that in the smallest and most con-
gested state of all-Rhode Island
che population is less than one per-
son to the acre. Even in New York
state there is an average Of 40 fam
lilies to the square mile. Immigrants
will not "overcrowd" the United
States for it is estimated that the
population could reach a billion and
we would still have room.

CHANGE IN POSTAL RULING
VIII Have Some Bearing on Post
Offices That Are to Be Filled
Very Soon.

Many inquiries were made of the
post office department at Washing
ton, as to when regulations would
be announced under the new order
relating to selection of postmaster.
Members of the Iowa delegation
were among those making such in
quiries.
1t will be ten days or two weeks
before new regulations are issued.
Meanwhile appointments of post
master of the first, second and
third classes will be held back.
The question most widely dis
cussed is what latitude the new
regulations will give the member
of congress in selecting postmasters.
While 1t is obvious that where three
eligibles are certified to the presi-
dent by the civil service commission
the congressman, If he prefers one
of them, can use his Influence with
the post office department. 1t was
asserted by members of the house
who had looked into the situation
that the congressman would be con-
siderably restricted. For one thing,
under the soldiers preference law
il one of the eligibles is veteran,
the congressman will not be in a
position to block or to help his ap-
pointment; the law would require
his selection.
Aside from that, if the examina-
tons are carried out in good faith,
the eligibles may not include any of
the congressman's political friends
and he may not desire to exercise
a preference. 1t is declared that
members of the house who have
been in haste to promise postmaster
ships to certain friends of political
adherents are likely to be unable to
deliver.
The new order is widely comment
ed on as a scheme to get republi-
cans into office under the guise Of
a civil service method. This is I'M
doubtedly what republicans in con-
gress and republican political lead
ers hope to use 1t for. II honestly
carried out, however, there will be
no way Of preventing some demo-
Gratis from being selected.

FRANCE Is not
WELL SATISFIED
FEELING PREVAILS THAT GER
MANY WILL NOT FULFILL
HER AGREEMENT

Satisfaction in French official and
political circles over the acceptance
by Germany of the terms of the al
lied ultimatum on reparations was
much qualified by the smallness OF
the majority in the reichstag in fav-
or of such acceptance and the feel
ing in Paris that the new German
cabinet is most unstable.
II was reiterated in official quar-
tiers that the French forces on the
Rhine will be maintained at suffi-
cient strength to occupy the Ruhr
until it becomes materially evident
that the Germans will carry out the
terms of the ultimatum.
The lobby of the chamber of depu-
ties was unusually active for the
recess period. Many deputies gath
cred to exchange views regarding
the prospective assault upon the cab
met of Premier BRAND by the large
element in the chamber which is dis
satisfied with the decisions of the
last London conference.
NJ. BRAND will defend the decision
to give Germany time to reply to the
allied ultimatum. and stake the fate
of his cabinet upon approval by the
chamber of the London decisions. II
the chamber pronounces against
those decisions, the cabinet will re-
sign.
The crucial test in the new situa-
tion is regarded as likely to come
on June 80, with the expiration of
the time limit for the complete dis
armament Of Germany.
II the allied conditions are not
complied with by that date, it is de-
clared in official circles, the Ruhr
valley will be occupied, even If Ger
many pays the 1000, 100000 gold
marks within a month, as provided
in the PREPARATIONS commissions
schedule.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS BETTER

Some signs of rift in the gener-
al cloud of business depression in
Europe were seen in England and
Italy during April by American eco
nomic observers, according to the
monthly summary of world trade
conditions issued by the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce.
In other European countries,
however, and in South America, ex-
cept Peru, a continuation of the gen.
eral industrial stagnation was re-
ported. In the far east considera-
BILE finance and commercial activ-
ity was noted.
Except for the arrangement of
the Industrial situation in Great
Britain by the coo strike, the bus
mess situation was reported more
hopeful. The financial situation
was said to be improving and the
cost of living decreasing.
The general condition of the gov
eminent finances in Italy was re-
ported more favorable, with reve-
nues increasing.
No improvement in France was
reported, and in Germany an agi-
tation was said to prevail for the
boycotting of entente wares.
Depression of Scandinavian trade
was said to continue. Money was
reported plentiful in China, as well
as Japan.
The financial situation in Chile,
according to the report, is gradu-
ally growing worse.
