Interest is centering in the big an

elusive. Farmers who are planning
to exhibit at this famous show are al
ready working on their animals, get

be taken to participate in this great
event.
! Both Size and Quality.
The Northwest School of Agricul-

University of Minnesota at Crookston
is all a-thrill with plans and prepara-
tions for the big week. And indeed
it is something to be excited about
for it is the most important winter
show in the country. 1t is said that
only Brandon exceeds it in the num-
Der Of its entries. The. highest of
pure bred stock appears at this an

Mr.. Blacks reports as follows:
Before deciding upon the other
type of cleaner to use, several months
were spent in reviewing the advRn-
.tages and disadvantages Of the diff
ferent kinds Of cleaning machines
used in elevators and -four mills. 1t
was thought that it might be pos
sible to make changes IN some type
of cleaning machine already in use
50 as to adapt it for use on a thresh-
ing machine, but it was found that
all of the machines used in mills end
elevators were either ttoo large, too
heavy. or Of too small capacity for
use on a thrashcr. To assist .us in
these Investigations, the officials OF
several of the threshing5 machine
companies showed us thrasher re
cleaners which, they had built, but
which would not successfully clean
spring wheat. ~
wild oats seemed to be the cause
Of the failure Of most Of the reclean-
ers already built and as wild oats
are numerous and hard to remove
it vas finally decided to build a ma,
chine using the basic principle OF
discs provided with small pockets
and moving vertically through the
grain, The elevator, and mill ma,

Light Export Demand
Caused Slump In Wheat
Early Last Week

Minneapolis, Minnesota. Jan. H.
Underselling of American wheat in
the export market, weak cables, snow

The singer deposed that she felt that
there WAS something wrong" in her
household. An examination os her
bank check book disclosed that Glotz-
bach had indorsed a number of checks
over to Lottie Fraties. according to
the deposition.
During the period OF their married
life the singer gave Glotzbach all

Cripples Tend
To Criminality,
Scientist Says
BY the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DRESDEN. October 26.-Criminal
inclinations are so highly develop
ed in cripples that these members
of society should be the objects Of
especial alertness on the part of
the authorities. in the opinion
Of Dr. Erich Wulffen of the Saxon
ministry of justice.
DIR. Wulffen declared in the
course of an address before a con-
gress for the care OF cripples that
the only favor which the forth
coming criminal code Of the re-
public would show these unfor-
tunates would be a slight elasticity
in applying "extenuating circum-
stances" to them.
Because of his handicap, a cripple
easily becomes at odds with So
ciety and drifts to crime, the
speaker said. Cripples are wont
to be the victims OF illusions, and
to incline toward domination,
power and barbarity. Their
offenses. he stated. usually are
assault INSTRUMENTATION. bodily in
jury. or property damage.
Dr. Wulffen urged the importance
of judges and prosecuting attor-
neys studying the cases of cripples
With particular care. to determine
their psychological background.
