MURDER CHARGES
TO Be PR0BED

Washington, Dec. 31-Many sena-
tors are preparing to increase the
scope of the senatorial investigation
of charges of murder and cruelty to
American doughboys while in France.
Senator Tom Watson can prove that
Major M. L. Opie of Staunton. Va,
killed two soldiers. The accusing fin
gers of dozens of American doughboys
today pointed to Major Opie as the
murderer of two of his men in action
in France, Watson declared. Senator's
were thoroughly aroused as charges
of former war veterans against Opie
continued to pour into the hands of
Watson whose accusations are under
investigation.
If the charges against Opie are
borne out by testimony Senators de-
clared a sweeping investigation into
charges that towards and mentally
deranged soldiers were shot down in
action by officers, was made on the
floor of the house by Representative
Royal johnson of South Dakota should
be Immediately started.

LODGE OFFICERS
JOINTLY INSTALLED
Odd Fellows and Rebeccas Hold Joint
Installation of Officers. Social
Evening and Dance Follows

The Odd Fellows hall was the
scene Of a very enjoyable meeting
last night when the members of the
/. O. O. F. and the Rebeccas held a
Joint installation of their officers
The work was very efficiently put on
by district deputy grand master Ed.
Quist of Rogers, assisted by his mar
shall Linden. This work was exem-
plified in a manner pleasing to all
members present. At the conclusion
of the installation those present put
in the evening at dancing the old
style dances until midnight when the
ladies of the Rebeccas, headed by
Mrs. f. A. Lavery served lunch.
That's the wrong word as it wasn't a
lunch, it was regular feed and is
proclaimed as a dandy. After the
supper the members enjoyed them
selves in a social hour and song fest,
with little dancing thrown in. The
meeting broke up about 200 o'clock,
the members feeling that they had
enjoyed one Of the best meetings of
the season and being glad that they
were members of these live organi-
cations.

Dr.. White was driven out of Mar

mer through the cooperative opera
tons in Minnesota this year, at the
time of his annual report to the con-
vention of the federation. He states
that the farmers have proved that
they can 20 into business on the ter
minal markets and sell their products
more efficiently and economically
than private concerns. He refers to
one cooperative organization which
has saved the farmers some $45, 900
in the past five months and has &C
cumulated surplus of $4,000 in that
time which will later be returned to
the members in the way of dividends.
There is no doubt that cooperative en-
terprises, owned and operated by
"dirt farmers" and for "dirt farm
ers", can be made success and can
be operated in such a way that the
farmer will receive added returns for
his product. But this will not apply
to organizations operated by men
whose chief thought is for their own
personal welfare. Of course a saving
Of $4,000 does not look like much of
an added return to people who have
been reading of the 100000 saving
alleged to have been made for the
farmers by DR.. Ladd, or the saving
of hundreds of thousands of dollars
which friend Cathro has made in the
Bank of North Dakota: but this saw
ing has the advantage of being hon
est to goodness cash, not a newspa-
per profit. The Minnesota farmers
evidently believe in the old adage
that "the Lord helps those who help
themselves" and are not hoping that
someone will legislate money into
their pockets, nor pinning their faith
to some carpetbagging politician, but
are going after their problems them
selves and in their own way, and also
figuring and collecting their own
profits,

The first effect OF the revised csti-
mate was to cause cotton to sell off,

cents. but since then with good
conditions in the cotton good:
trade prices have advanced abouy
two cents the pound. Exports of
cotton since June have been we'll
above those of the corresponding
months of last year, and there is
some feeling in the British cotton
trade that world stocks of cotton
goods are low and that better buy
ing is not far off, Trade in India
is unfavorably affected by the patri-
otto boycott Of British goods.

makes this country's production OF
wheat about 540O0,000 bushels above
former figures. Exports for the
twenty-five weeks ended December e.
as reported by Bradstreet's aggregated
23l 100000 bushels against 238,OOO, 900,
in the corresponding time last year.
The market has been unsettled and
fluctuating, but at the end Of Deccm-
Der was upon about the same level as,
at the beginning. The worlds needs.
and supplies seems to be closely bal
-anced in this crop, but the growing
crop III this country is rated at low
condition.
The West has a surplus of corn,
which rests heavily upon the market,
but prices have held their own during

of cents, partly on the strength, Of

Farmers who own their land and.
are out of debt can get along very

local taxes have been pushed up in,
recent years until they are as mucl>
as rent was twenty years ago. Far
mcrs who went into debt for land at

There is good reason to believe that
present prices for farm products are +
about the lowest that will be seen.
The last two seasons have been un-
usually favorable for the grain crops.
The carry-over of wheat certainly
will not be large and the growing crop
has a poor start. 1t would be re-
markable to have another bumper corn
yield after three great crops, and there
is reason to believe that less corn will
be planted this year. Moreover, it is
likely that the hog crop will be in
creased. During the years when corn
brought high prices, it became the
popular thing to sell corn and good

MEAT ADVOCATED
FOR POULTRY
The Gamer Cow and Useless Horse
Make Excellent and Profitable
Poultry Food, Says Bart

Fargo, n. D., Jan. 4.--Butcher the
Gamer COW and the useless horse, and
turn the meat, into nickel-apiece eggs
by feeding it to the winter laying
hens, instead of shipping the stock
to market and getting little or no re-
turn except freight bill, is the sug-
gestion of O. A. Barton, poultry
specialist at the North Dakota Agri-
cultural College. Several North Da-
kota poultry men are using the plan
to supply the needed meat in the lay
ing ration, Mr.. Barton finds.
Several letters recently have been
received by the poultry department
from North Dakota farmers as to
how best to handle the carcass of the
old horse or the Gamer COW which
has been killed for poultry feed" Mr..
Barton says
"Probably the most convenient way
to handle the meat will be to cut the
carcass into convenient size for hand
ling, then hang it up somewhere in
the barn or shed, or even out of doors
where it will freeze, and where dogs,
cats, coyotes and other animals can
not get at it.
"When the meat is needed, simply
thaw out chunk, and hang it up in
the poultry house so it will be about
IL inches from the floor. This not
only furnishes the meat or animal
food so essential for egg production,
but also furnishes exercise.
slack rabbits may also serve a
good purpose as meat food for poul-
try, and can be handled in the same
manner" .. a.. 4.
