FARM COMMITTEE ADVISES
GROWERS OF BEETS TO SIGN

That the Michigan Farm Bureau
has no immediate remedy to offer for
solution of the difficulties that gave
rise to the strike of sugar-beet
growers last summer in the gist of a
report made by special committee
OF the bureau TO representatives of
growers.
The report says the bureau will
proceed with its investigation of the
cost of sugar manufacturing machin-
cry and plants, with view of taking
over the business of beet-sugar manu-
facture within a few years, if the
growers fail to reach an understand
ing with the present manufacturing
interest
For the present, however, the in
dividual growers are practically told
that they should endeavor to make
such contracts with the manufac-
turers as they can. Although the re-
port is not specific it seems to advise
against continuance of the strike be-
gun last spring.
The collective marketing plan, the
main inspiration of the beet growers
organization, is abandoned so far as
the bureau is concerned. The re-
port quotes the state antitrust law to
show that it would be unlawful for
each grower to contract to sell his
beets to the bureau and for the bu-
reau to conduct all negotiations with
the factories.
Officials Of the bureau contend the
fact that the milk producers have sue
ceeded in marketing their product
collectively does not prove that the
same methods could be followed by
the beet growers.
No Alternative Markets.
The milk producers do not threaten
to curtail production, the bureau men
point out. Their association simply
tells city milk distributors that the
dairy farmers will use their own milk
or churn it into butter if the dis
tributors do not pay the prices asked.
In this way they avoid conflict with
the antitrust law, which provides
penalties to prevent efforts to restrict
production.
The beet growers, according to
bureau officials, have not alternative
markets and no methods by which
they can convert or consume their
product on the farms. To do any col
lective bargaining, it is claimed, they
must threaten to curtail production,
which would bring them into imme-
diate conflict with the law.
The report is signed by C. s. Har-
riott and Tom Price, members of the
executive committee of the Michigan,
Beet Growers' Association, which has
been supervised bv the bureaus

by A. G.. Smith. l.. II. Kirkland. Clar-
ence Oviatt, A. M. Berridge and J. p,

went to the rooms of the robbers the
day after the robbery and was given
a package which contained the stolen
bonds which he sent to Detroit by
express under an assumed name and
directed them to fictitious address,
expecting to be there and receive
them himself. For some reason, it
appears, Gleason did not arrive in
Detroit in time to receive the bonds
when they were delivered at the ad-
dress on the package, and as the
package had been valued at $500,
the express company refused to de-
liver it except upon the receipt of the
consignee and returned it to their Of
flee. After this several different
parties, other than the addressee,
were sent to the express office to get
the package, the methods used being
such as to excite the suspicious OF
the express officials who finally called
the matter to the attention of the
police, by whom the true character
of the package was discovered.
Gleason also claimed that he went to
Detroit with Farrell, one of those
who actually participated in the rob-
berry, and that the latter at that time
had the money sewed into his coat.
He said that no exact agreement had
been made as to how the money was
to be divided and claimed that the
talk about whiskey at the house of
Goodwin on the night when the rob-
berry is alleged to have been planned
was mostly for the benefit of other
people who were in the house that
night and who kept coming into the
room.
Ryan's testimony was about the
same as that of Gleason concerning
the meeting that was held at the
house of Goodwin and about the trip
to Saginaw. He also told of the
robbery, claiming that after Alexan-
der had told him that everything was
'all right" he called his partners into
the bank, gathered up the money and
bonds, which they put into a pillow
case, walked the whole length Of the
main street, entered their car and
drove back to Flint.
In answer TO questions by Attorney
Guy w. Selby, Ryan said they did not
tie Alexander up because they had
forgotten to bring the rope and fur
ther declared. "He then told us to
hit him, which Farrell did, Bill got
the money and don't know where he
is now. | didn't get a cent" Ryan
| further stated that none of the rob
bers had gun, as everything ha1
been arranged beforehand, and that
if any outsiders had come into the
bank he would have taken off his hat
and talked to Alexander as his
cousin. He expected to meet Glea-
son in Detroit, he said, and was going
to give him some money, as he got
the job for him and his partners.
Charles G. Matzen testified that
Alexander told him that a man came
into the bank, pulled gun on him
and told him to hold up his hands
that another man told him to go into
the back room, which he did, and that
he was then struck on the head. He
testified that Alexander's lips were
swollen, that his eyes were black and
that he was greatly excited.

her, for she rose while It was yet night
to give meat to her household. She
was financier, another Qualification

We see her considering a field and
buying 1t. She was a horticultural,
for she planted vineyard. She was
a merchant, for she bought her goods
from afar and perceived that they
were good. She was a manufacturer,
for she is pictured as making fine
linen and selling girdles to the mer-
chants. She was a wise councillor
perhaps. member OF the national
council OF defense; we knew she was
diplomat, for her husband was
known in the gates, and so was she.

Before the war an enormous trade
was carried on abroad. 1t is said
that Great Britain and Ireland alone
produced about 100000 skins an
nually. Most rabbit skins are sold in
bales, by weight, the fur from them
being used for Telling purposes, and
the skins for making glue. The war
interrupted the ifnportations from Eu-
rope and Australia to such an extent
that the price has greatly increased

BIRDS EFFORTS TO DECEIVE
Pathetic Deception Praetieed by Moth
err Of Brood In Her Attempt to
Save Her Young.

It has been pointed out that the
military tactics which commander
may employ TO deceive the enemy are
practiced in a limited way by many
birds.
There Is nothing more interesting In
the study Of bird life than the efforts
to deceive which many species put
forth to save their young or their nests
from the despoiler. They fiutter just
in front Of the trespasser TO attract
his notice, and then they trail of with
a broken" wing dragging on the
ground, emitting cries Of distress.
The bobwhite Commonly called
quail) is q most notable taetiqian In
this kind Of deception. This bird is
physically helpless in the face Of dan
ger possessing no weapons. It's power
of swift flight for a short distance is
great, but when there are little bob
whites to protect, the mother will not
leave them. The nest is always on the
ground, and the eggs are thus peculiar
" open to the ratages Of snakes and
other enemies.
There are sometimes a score Of eggs,
sharply pointed at one end and round
at the other, so that space in the nest
is economical. The chicks quit their
birthplace before they are fairly out Of
the shell.
They inherit a knowledge Of the
family vernacular, and each little head
about the size Of pea, holds quick
perception and resolute will. II dan
ger threatens the brood, the mother
bird calls. The young all go dead"
instantly; they drop down wherever
they chance to be at the moment A
man or a boy might step on them !;
they are almost Invisible among the
dry leaves and grass. The mother bird
renders herself very conspicuous fut-
tering with a broken wing"
The mourning dove is another timid
and helpless creature; she also tries
the broken wing ruse to divert dan
ger from her nest. The dove acquired
the broken wing habit" Of deception
while the tribe yet nested on the
ground. The habit persists, although
rather ludicrous when exercised on the
b0rgh Of a tree or on the top OF
fhil fence.

RED CROSS HEROES

Many Glorious Things Have Been

But This Was In a Glass

From Hill 212, overlooking Fere-en-

william Slavens McNutt, Golfers
correspondent, watched the American
infantry start the Germans on their
final retreat from Reims-Soissons-Cha-
teau ThIerry pocket. BE says:
And then l saw the most painfully
dramatic thing have witnessed in all
this war. Out from the little strip OF
wood that the Americans had just cap
