Meade had introduced a bill providing
for a change so that any man to have
state hail insurnce must apply for 1t.
The senate, after some discussion,
adopted an adverse committee report,
which kills the bill. When the report
came up for consideration Erskine
moved to strike out the mot" therein,
saying he did not want it choked to
death but wanted discussion Boreson
opposed saying that committees were
to save matters from taking time on
the floor and he would stand by the
committee. Gunvordahl, of Gregory,
told of objections to the present law
coming from nonresident landowners.
Cook favored the Erskine notion.
Swenson said his people in Turner
county wanted a change. Myers agre-
ed that farmers think it a burden now,
as did Schaber. Berg urged that the
people he represented were for the law
as il stands-they have protection
whether they remember to take time
to take out insurance or not. He
thought they might as well kill the
whole law as take out this feature,
Wagner thought ii a burden to exempt
Knight gave assurance hat there was
no unfairness in the committees con-
sideration of the bill. But the motion
was lost and the adverse report adopt

able to utter a few words, and stated
that two robbers entered the bank and
commanded him to throw up his hands
when he refused to obey their demands
they shot him through the neck and
beat him owe the head with the butt
end Of their pistols. He was unable
to give any clew as to the identity of
tie men. He was rushed to the drug
store where a doctor was called, but
his condition was such that he sue

aid arrived. Stapleton was 35 years
of age and unmarried
Up to late Thursday night no trace

Prices For State Coal
To Points In Stale

Pierre, Feb. 5.-E. o. Rousch, who
is in charge of the operation of the
state coal mine at Haynes, n d., re-
ports mining going ahead in fine shape.
The big trouble now is to get orders.
The people of the state generally are
under the impression that this mine
will only supply state institutions. AS
a matter of fact, the state institutions
made contracts last summer and got
their fuel supply before the mine was
organized and the state now has plenty
of coal to sell to individuals. They are
turning out over 100 tons a day. The
coal can be laid down in towns of the
state at the present time with present
freight rates at the following prices,
with three per cent war tax on freight
added. This includes cost of coal and
freight as follows:

France Threatens
Ruin OF Germany

Paris, Feb. 7.-Complete dismember-
ment OF the German nation If 1t Ices
not accept its punishment was threat
ened by France today.
IL will not move one millimetre from
my position" Premier Aristides BRAND
declared.
Germany was guilty. Germany
must pay
French officials indicated there was
serious pressure upon them to let Ger
many buster and bluff owe the repair
atoms then descend upon. the former
empire and exact the indemnity de-
manded by taking POSSESSION Of Ger
man territory.
There are many Frenchmen whose
greatest desire is to see German cities
IN ruin just as our own cities were de-
molished by the German invasion" a
French official declared.
Nothing would please this element
more than to see allied agreement on
reparations torn to bits while a French
army is sent into Germany to take
possession of land and property to re-
pay France for what she lost"
French officials admitted they were
unable to determine now whether the
uprOar in Germany over the allied de-
mands was a bluff or really the prelude
to q situation which might justify the
nation in unsheathing the sword.

Condemn High Pric-
ed Stock Foods
Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices
Charged Are Unwarranted-
Makes His Own Hog Food,
With Better Results

"That he is all through paying fancy
prices for stock foods and hog rem
edies and that he is raising some of the
best hogs ever placed on the market
was the statement made recently by
Il. II. Beckstead, wellknown hog rails
er and authority on live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
OF his neighbors, and have topped the
market" for several years in Iowa.
He states that for years he bought
hfgh-priced hog foods and hog rem
edies, but he is all through paying ex-
travagant prices for what he can make
himself. He states that what the hogs
need are minerals, and tells the secret
OF his wonderful success by explain
Ing that he takes about five pounds Of
ordinary mineraline (Which is pure
concentrated minerals and cost only a
couple of dollars) and mixes same
with enough bran or filler to make a
hundred pounds. All hogs, and espec-
tally brood sows require minerals as
they keep them free from worms, and
in the pink OF condition, and are es-
sential to the hogs growth and a well
balanced ration. This inexpensive
mixture placed in a sheltered box
where the hogs can get at it as they
need IL, will produce far better results
than any high-priced so-called stock
foods.
Send two dollass to The Mineraline
Chemical Co, 1888 North Wells St,
Chicago, ILL.,, and they will forward
you by prepaid parcel post, enough
mineraline to make a full hundred
pounds. (Adv) l2t4
