FEDERAL DUCK HUNTING
SEASON CLOSES JAM 81

January 81 is the last day on which
wild ducks and geese, coots, GALL
Mules and wilson snipe or jacksnipe,
may be hunted anywhere in the Unit
ed States under the federal law which
prescribes seasons on migratory game
birds. -, -
This law, which is administered by
the bureau of biological survey of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, provides, however, that the
carcasses of birds killed during the
open season may be possessed for an
additional period Of 10 days follow
ing the end of the season if state or
local laws do not prohibit it. The pos
session Of carcasses of wild ducks,
geese, and other migratory game birds
in cold storage plants after February
10, renders the owners subject to pro-
secution in the federal courts. The
duck hunting season in Minnesota
closed January 1, and possession of
birds in cold storage was denied after
January 10 under state laws.

five will play the Brainerd high school

men into the best of shape for this
encounter.
=, Brainerd defeated St.. Cloud last
week by a score Of Is to 1Ia;ld bids
fair to give Bemidji a fast, hard
fought game from start to finish.
That game was the first which the
St. Cloud team has lost this year.
and at the same time it was Brain

played here a few weeks ago, lost
last week to; Little Falls by score
of 20, to Is. This makes Little Falls
a strong contender for district henors.
The Bemidji Army team left this
morning for Crookston where it will
begin its first big tour. The :Besnidji
boys are to meet the Crookston city
team this evening, and will play at
Grand Forks tomorrow night: From
there they will go to Minot for two
games, Wednesday and and Thurs

will play at Jamestown. There is a
possibility that sixth game will be
staged at either Fargo or Moorhead
Saturday night, thus making the
week of playing complete. So. =
Lloyd Tanner, Myron Plummer and

SWISS MONEY BATTLE .,...
!. HURTING own BUSINESS
Swis. Franc Rapidly Becoming
Monetary Standard for All
European Countries
\ BY Henry Wood

Geneva, Jan. 23.-Entirely against
her own interests and her own wishes,
Switzerland is engaged in a merry
little warfare with the United States
to see whether the Swiss franc or the
American dollar shall become the in
ternational unit of value in the set
tlement of international obligations.
Much to her regret, Switzerland is
forced to admit there is every indl-
cation that the Swiss franc is going
to win out, at least as far as IN inter-
national monetary standard for Eu-
ropean countries is, concerned The
American dollar will probably retain
it's place as the most stabilized cur
rency in the big inter-continental and
worldwide affairs.
The prestige which the Swiss franc
is thus gaining, is. having the most
disastrous effects on the economic
life of the little republic. The big
demand has the effect of keeping the
Swiss franc almost constantly at its
par value, cutting down Swiss export
atoms in the most extreme degree and
sending up the cost of living without
any Offset in the. way Of deprecated
plentiful currency, as in all of the
surrounding countries.
Without question Germany has
been the most guilty country in buy
ing up and making payments in Swiss
francs. Hundreds of great German
war profiteers as security for their
own private fortunes took steps at
the close of the war to get their bill
lions changed into Swiss currency.
Then, when Germany had to buy for
'eign moneys for meeting international
obligations. the Swiss franc was clos
est to her door. ~
In the meantime, nearly everybody
of great fortune in the countries
growing out of the breakup of the
old Austro-Hungarian' monarchy, be-
gan changing their countless but al
most worthless millions of Austrian
ktonen, or Sloyakian, Hungarian or
what-not paner into Swiss francs.
Then the big exporters Of all the
Central European countries began de-
manding payment of all mternation-
..al contracts and obligations in Swiss,
currency. 1t was the currency closest
to home which still retained a fixed
value. The result has been that the
Swiss franc has become the generally
accented basis of settlement of all
international obligations. 1t has be-
come Europe's international cur
rency.
Then. to add last crumb of dis
aster, the big German, industrials
have now begun to demand the set
Element of their domestic bills in
Swiss currency. The demand, there
fore for Swiss francs is so great that
the latter is kept at almost its pre-
war normal exchange, with all the
disastrous effects for a country, like
the United States, for example, with
a money value so high that no one
can afford to buy from it. Switzer-
land is therefore facing q budget de-
felt of 90,O00,OOO Swiss francs for
the coming year. ~

Important Farley
{By United PfeM}

Washington, Jan. 23.-President
Harding, IN opening the international
agricultural conference !, here today,
outlined a comprehensive program for
meeting the grim situation of the
present crisis in agriculture. warn
ing that il sne nation fails to aid the
farmers it will precipitate a disaster
that will affect industry and CONNER
cial activities. The president made
several specific recommendations to
the 325 leaders in agriculture. -
Secretary Wallace announced the
selection of Representative Sidney
Anderson of Minnesota, chairman of
the joint commission on agriculture
inquiry, permanent chairman of the
conference. Hardings recommends
lions were: s,+& VI fsszz"- --s,3@:5G7E ~ :.
Extension of farmers cooperative
marketing organizations. Harding en-
dorsed indirectly legislation now pend
ing n congress exempting these or
CARNATIONS from the workings of the
antitrust laws, long. he'd to be one
of the barriers to their growth. r.
Provision must be made for much
greater working capital for the farm
ers. Means must be taken by the
government to insure shat the turn
over of CAPITAL shall be as generously
supplied to the farmer on as reason
able terms as to other industries"
The government must place more
essential and scientific information at
the disposal Of the farmers and their
marketing organizations. To aid both
the farmer and consumer measures
must be taken to prevent price fluctu-
ason, which results from unorganized
. and haphazard production. f;s-a a
The farmer will be benefited by
certain transportation policies. In this
connection the president recommend
ed the greater use Of waterways and
suggested that eventually nearly all
the railroads OF the country be cleo
trified. He also risked arousing the
ire of the eastern Republicans by g.y-
ing an unqualified endorsement to the
Great Lakes waterway project, re-
Gently framed by an international
joint committee, which would enable
ocean liners to dock at Great Lake
ports. -
The fullest development of nation
al resources through reclamation Of
arid, cut-over and swamp lands. The
nation must realize that the farmer
of today IS combination of an ex-
pert scientific business man and a
worker.
