tent. During the war it was attempt

prices were fixed" and yet sugar was
thirty-tive cents a pound in the Ma
tional Capital at one stage of the
game. Prices her as now were
fixed but they didn't stay fixed"
Without a first class war to back him
up it is doubtful whether Mr.. Hoover
will be able to deal effectively with
the coal protiteers, who, like the
tariff are already a local issue"
The government will, of course, do all
it can to help the situation, but o
sumers throughout the country must
use their utmost personal e%ndeavors
to cope with the situation. With the
resumption of mining it is held in
\, aShington to be entirely practical for
the coal operators and miners to pro-
duce sufficient coal to supply the needs
of the country this winter. There
will be no special reserves" in the
census of coal piles; but official re-
ports show that there is no reason why
everyone should not have coal. The
local dealer who says otherwise should
be able to give a full and very salts
factory reason if, for any other alleged
cause other than a railroad tie-up,
he advances the price OF coal to the
point where his figures look like
protiteering.
Republican opposition to the passage
of the ship subsidy bill has developed
in Congress, and when it became
known recently that the farm bloc
would oppose early action i'll the
House, it became apparent that the
measure would have to go owe until
after election. President Harding is
pressing for this legislation, and
there is a feeling in the National
Capital that he can eventually get a
bill through Congress. One Congress
man has given it as his opinion that
fully fifty Republican votes that might
be counted after election would be I'M
certain if it was attempted to put
the bill through the House before
November. These votes, he adds,
would undoubtedly support the Presi
dents bill after the election.
Robbery or post offices has been
found to be a poor game, says the
United States Post Office Department.
Quick action on the part of the Post
Office Department has resulted in
the creation of a drag-net for the rob-
bers which generally leads to their
immediate capture when they attempt
to get money by filling out stolen
money order blanks.

PROSPERITY FOLLOWS COW

Evidence in the flesh that good
COWS pay will be the keynote Of the
. National Dairy Exposition to be held
in the Twin Cities, October IA Prov
ing the slogan, prosperity follows the
cow" a score of COW testing aSsocia-
lions and scores of individual farm
erS will exhibit at the Exhibition grade
cows with established production re-
cords.
For the first time in the history Of
the National Dairy Exposition, the
bars have been let down and grades,
if sired by thoroughbred animals will
be admitted to the exhibit and the
prizes offered will be similar, class by
class, to those offered for thorough
breds. Several of the exhibits will
be sold at auction after they are
judged.
Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Michi-
gan and North Dakota already are
represented in the exhibitors of grade
cattle. The new classification OF the
Dairy Association provides that all
such COWS must have COW testing
association records and must be sired
by pure bred bulls. In the first class
will be COWS having production re-
cords Of 500 pounds or more of but
terfat a year; the second class TAX
ing COWS whose records are $50 to
500 pounds.
The third class comprises groups
of five COWS each; the quintette com
ing from a single testing association;
the fourth includes groups of four
COWS sired by one registered bull and
| the award in the fifth class will be
made to the champion producing
grade COW sired by a thoroughbred and
an association test record. Among the
Association exhibits sent by the
various states will be one consisting
of fftv grade COWS from Wisconsin
demonstrating how the production OF
daughters over dams has been in
creased by purebred sires. The WIS
consin exhibit is being arranged by
Prof. X. l.. Hatch of the University OF
Wisconsin and will be limited to COWS
with records of $50 pounds of but
terfat in one year
Exhibits from Minnesota will in
clude a dozen grade cows sired by
purebred Jerseys. built up on a
foundation of ordinary scrub cows by
George Christianson of Plainview.
The exhibit represents several genera
tons and as the herd has been part
of the Plainview Elgin Cow testing
Association for some years, it is ac-
companied by definite figures on h
various animals have earned together
with the cost Of production.

SELECT SEED POTATOES

The necessity for careful seed selec-
ton in seed potatoes cannon be over
emphasized, says the agronomy de-
partment of State college, as the time
for selecting seed approaches. Many
farmers who are very careful with
cereal grain selection may pay little or
no attention to the Importance OF
proper potato seed selection.
The South Dakota Experiment Sta
ton for a number Of years has con-
Quoted a series of experiments test
ing the value of proper selection with
Burbank potatoes. Three methods
have been used: % Hill selection;
CD tuber selection; 60 bulk seed.

MOTION ARGUED TO
SET ASIDE VERDICT

A motion in arrest OF iudg-
ment, which was made last even
ing by Attorney ]. p. P. o'Brien,
counsel for Hugh Metz, after the
Jury returned a verdict Of guilty
against Metz. charged with violat-
ing the state prohibition law, twas
argued before Judge Showaltersin
the Criminal Court this morning.
Attorney 0'Brien, for the de-
Tense, contended that the instruc-
lions given by the court 10 the
jury were not proper. He cited
several decisions Of the Supreme
Court which had Held such in-
structions reversible error. The
instructions objected to were
those concerning the credit to be,
given certain witnesses by the
jury. Judge Showalter withheld
final judgment until tomorrow
morning to give the attorneys
more time to look up the opinion
OF the Supreme CourtTfn question.
A confession by Cora Watkins,
sweetheart OF Metz. was the prin-
cipal evidence relied upon to clear
Metz yesterday. 1t was OF no
avail, however, and the jury re-
turned a verdict Of guilty. His
sentence will not be given until
the motion In arrest OF judgment
now before the court Is decided.
