u. 8. Demands Equality

The American government has pre-
sented directly to the council Of the
League Of Nations it's demand that all
Allied and associated nations be CIV
en- equal opportunities in mandate
territories.
It is announced at the state depart
ment that a note has been dispatched
to the council, now in session at Paris.
Decision to act was predicated on the
understanding that the council con-
templated immediate action on man
dates, such as those in Mesopotamia
and Palestine.
England never has replied to Secre-
tary Colby's note Of protest last No
vember nor has the United States re-
ceived the official drafts Of the man
dates which it requested be sent here
before final approval by the League.
It is understood, however, that Brit
ain has intimated to our government
that since the draft mandates have
been submitted to the League the log
ical course Of the United States would
be to present its case to the League
council.
This 10 the first action initiated by
the American government before the
great tribunal. H

vITAMINEs IN HOME GARDEN
Scientists Discover Important Food
Force

Raising vitamines in the family
garden is the newest contribution Of
science to wholesome food.
Vitamines are a recently discovered
force present in some foods and not
present in others. They have no re-
lation to carbohydrates, fats and pro-
tein. These three used to be thought
sufficient to meet all requirements Of
wholesome food, provided they were
properly balanced.
The vitamines are known as Fat
Soluble A and Water Soluble and
C. Just which is the more important
has not been determined, but without
them no food is perfectly balanced.
They grow in all thin-leaved vege-
tables, such as lettuce, spinach and
turnip greens, also in carrots, beets
potatoes, celery and in practically all
fruits.
Apples, lemons, lines and oranges
lead all fruits in this respect.
Whole milk, butter, cheese, butter
milk, eggs and the various cereals
also contain vitamines in various pro.
portions.
Vitamines are important to the
healthy growth of children, it is claim
ed, and can be grown at home in any
family garden or orchard.
Tomatoes are source of two very
important vitamines, with a trace Of
the third. No other fruit or vege.
table contains such an excellent bal.
ance, excepting spinach or carrots.
The vitamines are also present ir
yeast and enter into bread in the bak.
ing. Whole wheat bread is to be pre-.
ferred to white bread, because in the
latter the vitamines have been elm.
mated, but they are at home in thu
whole wheat grain.

Strike Against High Rents

SLtlke Against d1gn NentS
A tenants strike, organized by the
Chicago Tenants Protective associa-
tion, has been launched, and campaign
meetings are planned for all sections
Of the city to enlist the assistance Of
100000 tenants in refusal to pay in
creased rents.
The secretary Of the association
said striking tenants would be en-
couraged to refuse either to move OF
pay exhorbitant rentals, and the as
sistance Of municipal judges would be
sought to have eviction cases placed
in their regular turn at the bottom Of
the court calendar. This would bring
them to trial not earlier than next
year. Signs were distributed reading:
"Unfair landlord demands advance
This apartment will not be vacated
May 1. Do you want to buy law
suit?"
In the windows Of several apart.
ment buildings these signs are now
displayed. While scores Of complaints
over increased rentals were pouring
into the city hall, a number Of land.

NOTES OF THE
FARM BUREAU
Sapiro Plan for Marketing Wheat Will
Be Thoroughly Tried Out in
+ Minnesota
BETTERs THE PRESENT SYSTEM
Spud Growers to Pat. in Large Acre
age this Year

The Minnesota Farm Bureau is at
tempting to arrange for the market
ing of wheat under a system which
has come to be known as the Sapiro
Plan. The reason for the Farm Bu-
reau having made more progress in
Minnesota than in North Dakota is
due to the fact that the North Dakota
Farm Bureau is just in the process Of
organization. If the efforts Of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau prove to be
successful it is self-evident that other
state Farm Bureaus will follow Min
nesota. It may also be stated that
Washington and Oregon have already
recommended the organization of a
non-capital stock, non-profit, COOP
erative wheat marketing association
with a six-year contract binding the
members to market their entire wheat
crop through central selling agency
for that length of time.
This system of marketing grain is
known as the Sapiro Plan, and gets
its name from the man who intro
duced it to the middle west-Aaron
Sapiro, San Francisco, attorney for
a large number Of highly successful
co-operatives in California, notably
the prune and raisin growers.
The Sapiro Plan embodies these
essentials:
First-The formation of two COM
panies, one warehousing concern
whose mission would be to store grain
from the time Of harvest until it was
called for by the second company, a
selling agency, which would be or
ganized without capital stodk and
operated on a non-profit basis.
Second-Signing by growers of
contracts which would surrender to
the selling agency control, as well az
title, Of grain for a period Of years.
Five years is the time now being ad-
vocated.
Third-The abolition Of patronage
dividend, upon which practically all
midwest cooperative organizations
are founded.
Fourth-The financing Of the SELL
ing agency through the sale Of short
time notes, secured by warehouse re-
ceipts, which would be issued by the
storage branch Of the undertaking.
Fifth-The absolute disregard Of
present marketing machinery, as ex.
emplified by such organizations as the
Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce
and the Equity Cooperative Ex.
change.
Sixth-All grain to be placed in 3
pool, each grower to receive the same
price, grade taken into consideration

consin Holstein-F Friesan association,
talked to the farmers Of Monangt
last Saturday.

organization Of Dickey County Poul-
try association. All raisers Of poul-

light on the subject Of organizations
Of this character, although definite

WOLF DETERMINATION
WORK is TO CONTINUE

This spring urgent appeals were
made to the Biological Survey for as
sistance in the destruction OF. wolve.
that have been praying on game, sheer
and especially cattle, in Custer coun
ty during the past two years. In late
April, Mr.. r. X. Stewart, assistan
predatory animal Inspector for Idaho
was sent to this section to enlist til,
cooperation OF the stOckmen and hunt
trap and poison these animals The
Stockmen appealed to the County Com
missioners en- May to cooperate witt
the Bureau in this work, but since tht
statutory laws do not give them clea.
authority for such legislation, they wer>
unable to take action. 1t was though
that with the approval of the Com
missioner OF Agriculture, the County
Commissioners could cooperate, bu
because of technicality in the sta
tutes this was withheld
Mr.. Stewart has kept the trails OF
these wolves placed with appropriate
sets, expecting them to return, bu.
as they do not return to their old
range, it is thought that perhaps the
Did stock pair are rearing a family OF
young some place in the higher noun
tain ranges, perhaps south of Robin
son Bar. where they killed two head
of cattle about May %. stated Mr.
Stewart, who is in for supplies. Last
years young. are probably still rang.
ing with their parents. This section
will be thoroughly hunted for them.
Wolf signs have been reported in Cop
per Basin recently but it S thought
that they were just passing through.
Wolves have a great range of activ-
ity and because of this their number
is estimated to be far greater than ii
actually is. Positive signs of four
wolves were found in the East fork
section in April one of which appears
to be an extra large individual. This
is coroborated by stockmen who have
seen such an animal. 1t is worth
much effort to take this animal. No
pains will be spared to take these an
imals and with the cooperation of the
stockmen in furnishing saddle horses,
etc.. and helping the hunter to get
from one section to another, he will
thereby be able to do much more ef-
fective work. 1t is probable that this
work may be CARED on for the great
er part of the summer-Miner.

ANOTHER BIG
CL0UDBURST

Last Wednesday evening another
cloudburst occurred in the Warm
Springs section of the valley and the
high waters of the deluge washed out
the canyon road again and for several
miles this side of the canyon the road
was washed in different places. A
crew OF men are at work on the dam
age done and the road will be in a
fairly passable condition by the lat
ter part of the week.
. Travellers will be compelled to use
the old road over the hill instead of
using the canyon road for it will take
some time to repair the road up thru
the canyon. In taking this road around
the canyon only a matter OF a quar-
ter hour longer is consumed in max
ing the trip from Mackay to Challis.
