have as high as whole section OF
land under potato crop. There is
hardly a farm of any size in the
vicinity OF Moorehead and Fargo
but has a potato store house cap
able of holding from three to five

Texas and Oklahoma, H..
Mr.. Koppen says that Minnesota
can give cards and spades to potato
producers in any other state just as
soon as they come to the under
ending that this crop should be
properly graded and brought to
certain standard.

Sworn Falsely

Sworn Falsely
Chief of Police Phil Landmark
holds warrant for the arrest OIL
Edward Branch of this city on the
charge of perjury. The warrant was
sworn to by Chief Landmark him
self. This is the outgrowth of the
arrest OF young Branch on Decem-
Der 81, on the charge of vagrancy.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
while the defendant was under oath
testifying in the municipal court be-
fore Judge Hiram S. Golf during the
vagrancy charge last Thursday al
ternoon, he testified under oath that
he had been married to a Miss Ar
villa Gunderson of Bricelyn, Mimi.
According to the statement of
Chief of Police Landmark, soon af-
ter the conclusion of the vagrancy
trial last Thursday afternoon, he
called Miss Gunderson to the police
station, and she said that she was
not married to Branch. This led up
to the perjury charge.
Last Thursday the defendant was
sentenced to thirty days in the
county Jail on the charge of va
grancy, and at the end of seven
