TROOPS
TAKE TFLIS
Americans Reported in City
Said to Have Made
Their Escape.

Constantinople, Feb. 18.-(By the
Associated Press)-Soviet troops have
occupied the city of Tflis, capital of
the republic Of Georgia, on the south
ern tops of the Caucasus mountains.
Advices received here indicate that
three Russian divisions marched up to
the Paris Of the east from the flat,
desolate and frozen plains of Armenia,
while other Bolshevik forces entered
from the eastern shoulder of the
mountain range.
Several Americans are known to
have been in Tiflis recently but it is
believed they made their escape to
Batum. where the United States tor
pedo destroyers, Barker and Whipple,
are anchored.
The work OF establishing a Soviet
government in Tiflis Is said to have
been relatively easy.
The advance upon the city was os-
tensibly caused by controversy over
neutral zone in the Borchalon dis
t-ict, between, Georgia and Armenia.
Demands were sent by Armenia that
the Georgians withdraw their forces
from the neutral zone on February
IA, it being declared that Georgia was
bound to do this under an old agree
ment.
Georgia refused to meet this de-
mand, and then the Armenians ad-
yanced a few troops. which were at
tackled by the Georgians. The Rus
sian Soviet government then ordered
its forces forward to assist it's ally,
Armenia
/ The Georgian government was not
composed of men with the fighting
temperament it Is said. and mobilixed
its troops in an inefficient manner.
When the Soviet forces advanced the

went by the boards today when Pres

on the golf links with a reappoint-

To the challenger's manager. Mr..
Harding wrote that he regarded him
self as only miserable player and
was unwilling to have the admins
tration weakened by basing its atti-
tude on my capacity at golf"
But he added that he liked the
postmaster's sporty inclination" and
if the conditions of the challenge were
removed, he was willing to accept a
match whenever opportunity offered.

BRONCO BUSTERS
ABOUT TO QUIT
Wild Horses of Northern
States Are Disappearing;
Plenty in South

Denver, Colo. Feb. l9.-Bronco
busters of the northern Rocky noun
tain states are about to go out Of
business. according to reports from
officials Of wild west and frontier
shows. The reason is there aren't
any wild horses to bust. At least not
around Wyoming and this part of the
country.
But down in Arizona they have wild
horses to eat. There are 10000 OF
them. They belong to the San Carlos
Indians who have reservation not
far from Globe. But there isn't much
chance OF getting the Arizona ponies
for the bronco busters Of Wyoming
for the Indians won't give them up.
The day Of the wild herds Of horses
roaming the plains Of Wyoming and
adjacent states has been growing
rapidly shorter with the cncroach-
,nent Of civilization. More and more
ranches are being fenced in, herds Of
cattle are reduced or confined and to
make the matters worse for the ex-
jstence Of the wild steeds, oil drilling
! camps have been extended over wide
areas Of Wyoming, northwestern Col
orado and Utah.
But down on the San Carlos Indian
steeds. roaming at will over the fields,
destroying mile after mile OF grazing
land which might be put into good
use for cattle, and turning green
grass of the prairie into a scrawny
, covering for their bones which hardly
make even a decent meal for an In
dian.
The cattlemen have tried to buy
! them but the Indians wouldn't listen.
The government. through A. H.
Symonds. Indian agent. offered to
purchase them at about Sc head.
! invest the money into cattle and save
back to the Indians for winter food.
But the Indians would have none
Of it. The horses are worthless, even
for hides. They cannot be domesti-
Gated and the meat isn't much Of a
delicacy. but the Indians insist on
their age old prerogative to have their
herds out on the open prairie even
as their fathers did. The Indians
also have about 1000 wild burros
which they say they will keep.
"And when an Indian makes up his
got to have patience to get him to
change it. They are proud Of the
horses and burros for some reason
and although some of their leaders
have tried to persuade them to accept
the offers made, SO far they have re-
fused to SELL
! Sometimes in the isolated mountain
canons horses are found running loose,
but while these might be termed wild
they usually belong to some rancher
who has let them run loose. Wild
Of Arizona and occasionally are found
in Utah. But the old wild horse herds
OF the mountain plateau regions have
gone, probably forever.

PUBLICITY OF
FARM PROBLEMS
URGED BY POTTER

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 19.-Publicity
OF farm problems, particularly those
which deal with the setting of prices
and the distribution of farm products
was urged by L. E. Potter, president
OF the Minnesota Farm Bureau feder-
alton. in an address before members
Of the Minnesota Editorial association
terday.
Minnesota farmers want to give the
true facts Of their problems to the
public and let the impartial verdict
of all classes of citizens decide
whether the present system Of price
setting and distribution of food pro-
ducts is just. Mr.. Potter said.
Americans don't go wrong when
they know the facts" he said. 1--WE
farmers are not asking for special
privileges: we are only asking for
justice, and we are sure that if the
people Of Minnesota know what we
ask and why we ask it, they will be
with us.
1--WE believe in cooperative mar
keting. but it has been proven that
cooperative marketing never has in
creased the price the consumer is
compelled to pay for his food. We
believe that the men who produce
the crops that feed the world should
price Of those crops: but we do not
want to set ourselves up as arbitrary
price fixers, and we have no intention
of saddling this country with great
monopoly.
1.-THE farmers Of the state, through
their county farm bureaus. as we'll
as through their own community
meetings, have ordered the Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation to fight for
a law that will prevent manipulation
of our grain markets by speculation in
futures. But the farmers have no
desire to cripple the grain trade.
They have told federation headquar-
ters to see that legitimate hedging is
protected, by virtually unanimous
vote. where they have discussed the
grain futures bill, the farmers have
told the legislature that they expect
them to pass the bill making specu-
lation in grain futures illegal"
Mr.. Potter concluded with plea
for cooperation Of all classes Of citi-
zens, and that the status of the farm
question be given publicity through
