Make Big Profit
from Cattle

Menno, June 21-Henry Koch
shipped 131 head of fat cattle which
be had been feeding all winter to
Chicago and topped the market with
81 head of them, getting $3.50 per
100 pounds. For the other 80 head
he received 50 per 100, the entire
shipment bringing $4,000, or near
ly $100 per head. A large part of
the cattle were shipped from North
Dakota last fall by Adolph Frasch
and Koch bought them to add to
what he had raised on his farm. He
turned them into his cornfield and
let them husk his corn, then bought
corn at rs to q cents per bushel and
made good money for his winters
work. He says he fed cattle in Iowa
and South Dakota number of years
and this bunch made him the best
money of all.

STRIKE THREAT OF
RAIL MEN DEBATED
CABINET GIVES ATTENTION TO

Washington, ID. c., June 21--
determined to prevent railroad
strike if possible, and to make the
strike ineffective in its effort 10
paralyze transportation, If it does
come, the issue was a subject of dis
cussion, at the cabinet meeting to-
day
Following the cabinet session,
nothing was disclosed as to the trend
of the discussion, but it is known
that the presidents advisers are
keeping in close touch with the situa-
tion and that plans are under way to
deal with any emergency. At the
capitol there is considerable appre-
hension, but the view of the major
ity seems to be that there is moth
ing that congress can to in legis-
lative way to relieve the situation at
this time.
No plans no wexist, it was stated.
for amendments to the Cummins-
Esch law. Senator Cummins, of
Iowa, chairman of the interstate
commerce committee, still believes
that there will be no strike, and sees
nothing that congress can do to pre-
vent it should the workers decide to
quit He thinks, however. that the
government would break the strike
II cannot bring myself to believe
that there will be railroad strike,
said Senator Cummins. The coun-
try cannot go through a railroad
strike on top of the coal strike. The
government would not permit the
slffering that would follow such 9
clamity
But there is no program now foi
amendment of the transportation
act. About the only way the act
could be amended in the present sit
uation would be by the insertion OF
penalty clauses directed at railroad
employees disregarding the awards oi
the railroad labor board and making
strikes a conspiracy. But it is use
less to talk of that because you can
not get such legislation through con
gress at this time. That is certain

that trains continue to run. There
is no alternative

GIRL IS KILLED
BY BIG SHARK
CHAMPION SWIMMER In FLoRI-
DA WATERS is BITTEN.

Tampa, Fla, June 21-Terror of
tiger of the sea" kept bathers in
Florida waters close to shore fol-
lowing tragedy in which Dorothy
McCatchie champion girl swimmer,
was bitten to death by giant bar
racuda, or a shovel nose shark.
Mary Buhner, IL, companion of
Miss McCatchie on the fatal swim,
will be recommended for a Carnegie
medal for her heroism in holding the
dying girl in her arms and signalling
for help from shore after the killer
had made its attack. Two deep
wounds in the girls leg proved fatal
and she died in her companion s
arms.
The girls were swimming in the
ship channel of Tampa bay off ST.
Petersburg, about half a mile from
shore. Both were members of the
state championship swimming team.
Just as they reached the channel

FARMERS WANT
HAIL PAYMENTS
DIFFERENCE AS TO EXEMPTION
DATES CAUSES THEM TO
FILE LONG PETITION.

Pierre, June 21-At the last leg
islative session members from the
northern part of the state were par
ticularly unanimous in their express
sion that the farmers of their part
of the state wanted the hail insur-
ance law changed, giving them until
June Is instead of June | to file
their exemptions.
This also carried with it the regu-
lation that the law did not become
effective in that part of the state
until the last exemption date. Last
year that worked finely, as the con-
ditions in June were such that many
farmers believed that their crop out
look was not worth insurance, and
they got in their exemptions before
June Is.
But this year the crop prospect is
fine ,atdhne ETAOI ETAO TACO
fine, and the first hail storm of the
season swept the country in the VII
cinity of Summit on June IL. Now
the farmers who were within this ter
ritory are demanding that they be
paid hail loss as long as they had not
filed exemptions.
They have presented long petit
ton to the state hail department
making their demands, and claim
ing that the change of the law to
accommodate the demands of the
members from the northern part OF
the state, and leaving the southern
part unchanged, is discriminatory
legislation and unconstitutional.
But so long as the date for all of
the northern half of the state was
fixed at June Is before the law went
into effect, it Is hardly likely that
the hail department will make pay
ments on the claims for their early
storm.
