MAKES PLEA
FOR BETTER
COOPERATION
Drop of Prices Starting in
1920 Described as Famil.
lar in History
MUST WORK TOGETHER
Capital Invested in Farming
Is Approximately 20 Bill
lion Says Wallace
MUST WORK TOGETHER

Washington, Mar. 30.-The urgent
need for better understanding be-
tween the important groups of citi-
zens engaged in agriculture, in in
dustry, and in general business is
forcefully pointed out by Henry c.
Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture,
! in statement discussing their rela-
! tionship.
"As our civilization becomes more
/, complex" he declares, the relation
| ship between agriculture, industry
! and more intimate. What hurts the
one viii certainly hurt the others.
/ In general, what helps one will help
| the others. They must work to-
gether for the common good.
"There has always been a tacit
: recognition of our national depend
ence upon agriculture. We have Civ
en- an intelIectuul assent to such
statements as, The farmer is the
backbone of the Nation "A prosper
Gus Nation depends upon a prosper
Gus agriculture" Agriculture is the
basis of national life, and SO on.
The truth Of such statements has
never been driven home to us so ef
fectively as during the last two
years.
Drop in Prices
The drop in prices which began
early in 1920 is familiar history
Farmers were the first to suffer and
suffered most. Taking prices of
1913 as representing 100, the prices
of farm products in May, 1920, stood
at 238. During that month they
began to fall, and before the decline
could be arrested they had dropped
below the 1913 level, standing at 81
in December, 1921. Then we had a
terribly vivid illustration of our de-
pendence upon agriculture and the
intimate relationship between agri-
cultural prosperity and business
prosperity. Many farmers could not
pay current expenses. The ratio be-
tween prices of things the farmers
produced and sold and prices of the
things they bought was so distorted
that they we're forced to practice
the most rigid economy and reduce
their buying to absolute necessities.
Great industries which depend di-
rectly upon farm buying were plung-
ed almost Immediately into profound
depression. Thousands Of manufac-
turing plants had similar exper-
ience. The railroads suffered through
reduction in freight on things farm
ers buy. Business of every sort
shared the disaster. Hundreds of
banks failed. Thousands of banks
tottered along the edge of bank
1ruptcy. Perhaps three million men

st. Augustine, Fla, Mar. 30.-Con-

n greater degree the agricultural
and livestock interests of the coun-
try. President Harding, it was said
today by members of his vacation
party, is giving considerable atten-
tion to the agricultural problem.
The prompt selection of Henry NJ.
Dawes of Chicago to be comptroller
of the currency, which was announc-
cd last night although had not been
expected for several weeks, was in
terpreted by some Of those close to
the president to be an indication of
his desire that the government rem
der all possible aid to the farmers
and livestock men.
As comptroller of the currency Mr..
Dawes, who is brother of Charles
f. Dawes. former comptroller and
later budget director, will have SUI
pcrvisor of the formation of the
agricultural credits corporation pro-
vided for in the recently enacted
Capper- r-enroot-Anderson bill.
War Finance Continues
Pending the time when such credit
institutions can begin to function
the War Finance Corporation will
continue to make agricultural and
livestock advances and the policy to
be pursued by this government
agency were the subject of con-
ference here this week between the
C%o rol- ~
manager of the corporation.
Stating the policy Of the finance
corporation respecting future loans
to farmers and cattle raisers in re-
ply to many inquiries Mr.. Starek is
sued the following statement:
"Thc policy Of our board is to
carry out in spirit and in letter the
purpose and intent Of Congress in
extending the authority and life of
the corporation. The corporation
has made advances for agricultural
and livestock purposes through
banking and financial institutions,
operative marketing associations
and it will continue to do SO until
the end of March, 1924, on the same
basis as heretofore.
Many Loans Repaid
''Sincc August 1921 nearly 1921, )
600, 900 have been distributed upon
adequate security and nearly $780,
100000 nave been repaid, leaving
$l25,OO0,O00 outtanding about 10
days ago. Heavy payments are be-
ing made daily and we do not anti
cpatc many new applications for
funds. But whatever the interest
Of the agricultural and livestock
classes may be served in a manner
consistent with the provisions of
the law it will be the purpose of
the board to make advances under
the usual safeguard. 1t is not in
tended that the advances will be
made to public banks merely for the
purpose of repaying city corre-
spondents unless it can be shown
that the welfare of agriculture is
involved"

FATHER FINDS
GIRLS BODY
UPON FLOOR
Had Been Away in Morning
Leaving Daughter Alone
With George Haneckeyk
FORMER CITY POLICEMAN
Theory Is that He Attempted
to Assault the Girl Whom
He Had Been Annoying

When Eric Albertson,
prosperous farmer, 21. miles
west of Baldwin returned
home today, he found the
body of his daughter, Ellen
Albertson in the dining room
with a bullet through it and
the body of the hired man.
George Haneckeyk, former
special police in Bismarck,
dead with bullet through his
body.
The girls clothes were dis
arranged indicating a strug-
gle and assault, although no
examination had been made.
The news reached Bismarck
late this afternoon and Cor
oner Gobel hurried to the
scene of the tragedy.
Ellen AlbertsOn was much
admired in the locality and
had a host of friends. She
was 22 years of age and when
her mother died a short time
ago she became housekeeper
for her father and lived alone
with him and Haneckeyk.
George Haneckeyk is known
in Bismarck where at times
he served as night police on
special occasions. He \ left
sometime ago to work for AL
bertsOn.
/. The murdered girl is sur
vived by her father, a sister,
Dagmar attending school in
Bismarck, and a brother AL
bert, who works at Washburn.
The father had been to the
mine for load of coal and
the girl and hired man were
left alone. Haneckeyk had
made several advances to
the girl which she had
repulsed in the past.
She was engaged to-
marry a neighbor and the
event was to have come off
this summer. It. is believed
that Haneckeyk went into the
kitchen to make love and when
repulsed or when he had ac-
complished his purpose
plunged a shot through the
girls head after knocking her
unconscious.
Haneckeyk, the hired man
who committed the deed, took
two shot guns to the barn
with him and using the ram
rod he stood before the gun
and pulled the trigger. The
charge lodged in his body.
The girl was evidently shot
through the head by a shot
gun and ever evidence in the
room showed a terrific strug-
gle of the girl for her life
against the man crazed by
jealousy.

"The wet forces can not repeal the

Indifference of the friends of prohi-
bition they can pass laws in con-
gress that will defeat the purpose
of the amendment" This was the
gist of the address last night by
James H. Woertendyke, of the
"Flying Squadron" at the McCabe
Methodist church.
SIN % states the liquor interests
are completely organized with
state, county and township COM
mittees. Three persons, one wo-
man and two men to the township
organizations and all the workers
required in the state and county
organizations and backed by an
unlimited amount Of money" he
asserted.
The next congressional campaign
will be moral and not political, ac-
cording to Mr.. Woertendyke. He
asserted that a good man could not
be neutral on moral questions. But
he said the great danger was that
many good intentipned and true
friends Of the dry program were
asleep. Mr.. Woertendyke explained
it by saying that a man in Michi-
gan explained the case by saying
his people were not asleep; they
were "chloroformed."

Admissions from Foster, who took
the stand in his own defense yester-

the charges against him.
All other accounts in the informa-

for the prosecution to prove that Fos-
