BIG SAVING FOR
FARMERS ON PRICE
OF BINDER TWlNE

St. Paul Feb. 21.--Reductions in
the price of binding twine that will
save the farmers of the northwest be-
tween 100000 Oand $1,000,000 were
announced today by. the state board
of control Price reductions on diff
ferent kinds of twine range from 3
h to 4 cents pound, Ralph w.
Wheelock a member of the board,
said that lower prices of raw ma
|terials have made possible these re-
ductions. The raw materials are being
purchased from brokers and the So
called twine trust of a few years has
been broken up, Mr.. Wheelock said.
Reductions in farm machinery
manufactured in the state prison,
where twine is also manufactured,
were decreased several weeks ago.
Mr.. Wheelock estimates that the
saving to the farmers of the north
west thru these reductions will be-
between $3,OO0,0O0 and s4,000,000.

AGAIN
ON WAY REP0RTT0
CONGRESS ASSERTS
Upward Swing Of Pendulum
to Begin Soon Annual Re-
port of Federal Reserve
Board Says-W arms
Against Excessive Expan-
sion and Speculation.

Washington, Feb. 90 Business
thruout the country, progressing
thru we'll defined circles, is nearing
the point when the upward swing of
the economic pendulum shall begin
again, according to the annual re-
port of the federal reserve board,
transmitted today to congress.
"There are those, "the report says
who believe that the beginning of re-
vival is not far distant. When it
does definitely set in, it will be fol-
lowed in due course by a new era of
prosperity" ... -. .
Business, in one OF its "long
swings" from prosperity. the report
said, had followed its usual rotation
which is described as business actfv-
Hy, and Increased :productien; excess
lsxpansion and speculation followed
heretofore by panic and forced liQu-
idation; long period of slow liquid:
alton, business depression and stag
nation an dthen revival. D-
I'm the light of recent experience"
the report warned, "we should re-
member when we again enter into a
period of full prosperity that re-
action will follow sooner or later;
and if the flow of the incoming tide
can be controlled so that the
crest may not be reached too rap
idly or rise too high, the subsequent
reduction will be less severe and the
next period of industrial and COM
mercial activity and general pros
perity will be marked by saner meth
DDS, greater achievements along con-
|structive lines and by longer dur
alton than any which we have had
BEFORE"
The board confined it's report to
an account of operations of organi-
cations for the year 1921, and with
out offering any suggestion for leg
islation affecting the board or the
federal reserve system. %

The stockholders of the North Da-

voted against, diverting the build

live stock sales pavilion in James,
town, to any other purpose than that
Foriginally planned, at th2 recent an
nual meeting of the association. This
retary E. H. .Mattingly today. =.
The members Of the association
feel that the present financial and
agricultural depression is a ,cmpor-
ary condition, Mr.. Mattingly said,
and that when this condition is over
come, sales pavilion such as plan
ned will be needed more yhan ever
| before.
The annual meeting which was ,,d-
journed from January 18th to jan
uary 31st and later to February 18th
was held on the latter date. The Of
ficers elected are: President, A.
Wells; Attorney, Oscar j. Seller:
Treasurer, R. R. Wolfer; first vice.
president, Jacob Yeager; secretary E..
H. Mattingly. The other members
of the board of directors are: Theo
Thorn, "A. B. Default, J. J. Nierling,
DR.. Ottinger and Andrew Mckay.
The reason for the adjournment Of
the previously called meetings was
to secure a representative attendance
of those who have subscribed for the
Estock Of the cqrpo alton, IN order that
an expression might be had as to the
|advisahilfty OF completing the build
Ing as originally proposed. The
main issue before the meeting was
discussed at length by J. j.. Nierling,
G. H. Knoble, Emil Kohlscheen, Theo
Thorn, iR.; G. DePuy, O. j. Seller G..
A. Klaus and others, most of whom
favored the retention of the present
building site and the materials on
hand.
1t had been suggested that the
building be converted into bonded
warehouse, and some thot that under
the present conditions it would be
difficult to collect the amount of
money necessary to complete the
building asNonly, a part of the stock
subscriptions have been paid. The
property of the association consists
of lots 8, 8, %, %, "a, 25, rs, 27,
28, 20 and 80 in block 10 of Kelley's
and Fuller's addition second addi-
tion to the city Of Jamestown. The
lots are located on the mill spur on
West Second street, have direct
trackage and are splendidly located
for a sales pavilion. They also would
allow for sufficient ground space for
a potato warehouse, cold storage
plant and with room for expansion
of any one OF these projects if it was
found necessary in the future.
The cement walls of the founda-
tion of the proposed building, which
were put in last year, will be all the
better for having stood year, Mr..
Mattingly said. The proposed COM
munity hall is the big feature Of the
proposed building.
Officers of the association believe
with the bettering of financial condi-
tions, it will be possible to complete
the building plans in the not distant
future. isl III \. II.

Monday Mornings Testimony

Valley City, Feb. 20.-When court
convened this morning GUNNER was
still on the stand under cross exam
ination. The defendant seemed to
have lost some Of his self-confidence
during the adjournment and was
somewhat paler than usual. During
the cross examination it was appar-
ent that he was endeavoring to ans
wer the questions, not truthfully.
but in manner that would best suit
his conception of the defense. He
hesitated frequently in answering of
questions and continually licked his
lips, appearing nervous. He hedged
considerably in answering questions
regarding the admissions he had
made to the officers and repeatedly
said that the admissions, as set down
by the officers, were not complete,
and were incorrect in most of the de-
tails, claiming that he had not made
definite answers to the questions that
the officers had asked him. When
asked whether he had made certain
statements to the officers GUNNER
invariably paid that he had not-to
the best of his recollection, but re-
fused to state positively that he had
not made the statements.
When States Attorney Green ask
ed GUNNER II he had told Andy
Brown, when Brown had been in the
hotel on the night Of the murder, that
there was q swell looking girl check
ed into room 80, GUNNER stated that
he had not, told Brown that. Green
then read from the transcript of ad-
missions made to the officers in
