against developments of envy and
jealousy"
the President touched on a variety
OF topics and it was apparent, that in
taking to his Augusta audience he
was striving to reach the ear of the
South. 1t was the first address made
by the chief executive during his
vacation trip.
Domestic affairs constitute the
present chief concern of the nation,

He added that perhaps tho United

surely will, that the republic of the

ACQUITTED BY JURY

Marion, ILL.,. April 6.-(By A. r)-
All six of the defendants in the second
Herrin riots trial were found not guilty
after the jury had dclibcrated six
hours and % minutes.
Marion. Ills. April 6-(By A. Pr
The second JIerrin mine riots trial
ended abruptly today when the de-
Tense waived its right to argument
after Otis Glenn, special assistant at
torncy general, had completed the
opening address for the prosecution.
The case. was given to the jury at
Az r. NJ.
In his closing instructions JUDGE
y. r. Hartwell indicated four possible
verdicts for each of the Xix defend
ants; Guilty as charged i'll the in
dictment with sentences of death. a
life term in the pcnitentiary. an in
determined term in the penitentiary.
of not less than IA years, or a verdict
OF not guilty.
Mr.. Glenn did not ask a death PEN
atty. but said he would leave the sem
fences to the. conscience of the jury
although no crime in the history Of
the world ever more fully mcrited

The defense rested hopes Of a
speedy acquittal on the alibis it pre-
scented for the six defendants: Hugh
Willis. executive board member of
the Illinois Mine Workers. ard James
Brown, Oscar Howard, Phillip Fon-
tanetta. Otis Clark and Burt Grace.
all members of the miners union.
Mr. Glenn. in pleading for verdict
of guilty, declared that upon the
jury's decision rested 1.-THE security of
the homes of this city. this tate and
this nation"
The shooting down of the unarmed
prisoners taken from the mine of the
Southern Illinois Coal company. he
denounced as the greatest tragedy
in the history of this nation in all of
the years of it's existence. a crime
futile in it's accomplishment and sur
passing the barbarity of an Indian
massacre in it's horror"
The defense, in its arguments de-
clared that it "did not contend that
the killing Of Antonio Mulkavitch
was Unsuitable or that the acts of the
guards were a sole excuse. but as
serted that it was proper to reveal
such acts as show the attitude of the
guards.

mariners have been aware of this source of danger and have made al lowanee for it, this $ the first time that an accurate survey has been made. These observations will be extended to ether areas where the presence of local disturbance is in. dieatod.
 Magnetic Observations
 Magnetic observations are also needed along the northern and west ern shores of Alaska and in the in- terior. During the past year obser- vations were made along the Beriag Sea coast of Alaska and Siberia and along the Arctic coast of Alaska at St. Michael, Nome, Teller City, Point Hope, Point Barrow and Demlrcation Point, in Alaska, and at Emma liar Dor Providence Bay) and Whelan (East Cape) in Siberia. This work had great value for two reasons IL connected the magnetic work of the Amundsen expedition with previous magnetic work in Alaska, and it pro vided values of the magnetic declina- tion in Alaska at places where our previous knowledge was very ipdefi- mite, and accordingly makes il pos sible to provide moro accurate mag netic information oa the charts of Boring Sea and the Arctic. Correct magnetic values are of great import ance because at best, owing to the Eearness to the magnetic pole, the compass is far moro uncertain than in southern regions. The results brought out, however. the great need of @ real magnetic survey in the interior of Alaska. The present sit nation of magnetic stations, existing only along the main lines of travel loaves vast areas without obserYa- tons of any kind. Observations are needed also in the Aleutian Islands to meet the needs of the commerce from the west coast to the Orient.
 ''The Coast and Ceodetic Survey has maintained an observatory at Sitka since 1902 Observations of tho magnetic deelination, dip, and in tensity have been made since that time without a single break in their continuity. The disturbances known as magnetic storms which affect the and intensity of the mag netic elements occur with great ire quency in Alaska.

Western Canadian cattle hereto fore have been finished on oats and barley. Corn fodder and sunfiower silage now forms an important ad- dition to winter feed.
 Farmers who feed cattle for mar ket are divided into three groups. One takes steers out of the pasture, feeds for brief period and mar kets in the fall. Another feeds for seventy to 100 days. The third group turns winter into season of profits. They feed for 100 and 40 days. The ration for steers begins with two pounds of grain day and is gradually increased to sixteen pounds. Cattle thus fat tened put on flesh firmly. evenly and steadily.
 It is this last class of farmers that have made Canadian cattle famous for weight and quality of beef in the markets of the world.
