Washington, Nov. 5.-Organiza-
tions interested in enforcement of
prohibition sent a petition today to
President Harding, asking that he
demand executive officers and rec
ommend legislative officers to speed
up and intensity agencies of enforce
ment."
Declaring a tour of the northern
states had not shown reaction
among the more than three-fourths
of the American people" who had ap-
proved prohibition, the petition con-
tinued:
1--WE respectfully suggest that the
party in power, having made prohi-
bition enforcement matter largely
of party patronage, will naturally
be held responsible for any failure
on the executive side Of enforcement
and also for the tragic delay of pend
ing enforcement legislation.
1--WE note with qualification your
indignation that prominent members
of republican committees have ex-
torted largs sums as pay for their
influence in getting permits for
Wholesale supplies for bootleggers.
. We believe a mandate
from you that this trifling with the
constitution must stop would quickly
enthrone law and order in the whole
field of prohibition enforcement"

PLAN TO STORE CORN

DEVELOPMENT OF PLAN TO BE

NANCE CORPORATION.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 5.--Inves-
tigation and development of plans
for warehousing corn on large
scale is to be undertaken by a COM
mittee appointed by the war finance
corporation
Announcement of this step was
made today by the finance corpora
tion, which said the proposal had
the approval of Secretaries Mellon
and Wallace,
1T will be recalled" the corpora
tion said. that years ago when
there was a temporary large surplus,
cribbing corn was successfully under
taken in carrying forward the sur
plus. 1t is believed that ways and
means may be found by which con-
siderable part of the large surplus
now on hand may be safely stored
and financed on a sound business ba-
sis until it can be marketed or utiliz-
ed with benefit to the farmers in the
corn belt as well as to the entire ma
ton"
Ine purpose VI Ihe Conni'eoe'
Managing Director Meyer explained,
is to enable farmers to hold their
corn until fair price can be realized
for the crop. The corporation, he
said, plans to advance funds through
the banks, to the farmers on the Sc
curity of corn warehoused, which
would enable the farmers to hold
their crops for better prices.

P e trifie d E g g

Mitchell, Nov. 5.-A valuable pc
trified egg, declared by archaelogists
to be one of only two such specimens
known in the world, was found in the
South Dakota bad lands last summer
by Miss Gladys Wilson, who Is now
attending Mitchell high school. Ne
gotiations are under way to sell the
egg to a New York museum.
This egg, which is believed to nave
been laid by species of prehistoric
duck, is said by the museum author
tiles to be probably 100000 years
old. The other petrified egg OF this
kind which is in existence today
brought $4,000 when sold to mu-
scum.
Miss Wilson sent the egg which
she found to a Chicago museum and
there learned its value. The mu-
scum authorities offered her sub
stantial sum for 1t but she refused
the offer and will probably sell 1t 10

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR GUN
DERSON THINKS EDUCATION
AL PLAN DRIVES THE chill
DREN FROM THE SOIL.

Mitchell, Nov. 5.-Speaking be-
fore a representative crowd of farm
ers and business men here, Lieut.
Gov. Carl Gunderson attacked the
existing educational system of the
country, and, speaking from the view
point of the farmer, declared that
the system was one of the things
that was robbing the country OF its
farmers, or making of those farmers
who remained on the soil discomfort
cd men and women.
Every bit of instruction the boy
and girl gets in the public schools of
this country" Mr.. Gunderson deciar-
ed, "tends to take them away from
the farm. They are taught that the
farmer is unbusinesslike, that rural
life is to be Stunned and avoided,
that success can be attained only in
the city in business or a profess
sional life, and the result is that
those farmer children who go thru
high school early become imbued
with the idea that they must get
away frmo the farm.
Frequently, to permit them to go
through high school, the parents oil
the children have moved from the
country to the city to be with their
children during their high schooi
days.
"The result is that not only has
that farmer and mother, more fire.
quently than not been taken away
from the soil, but they see their own
children, whom they had hoped
would go back to the farm with them
waened of all desire to till the old
home place.
Properly conducted consolidated
schools in the rural districts. MI

solution.
