HITCH & TILLAGE IMPLEMENT
DEMONSTRATIONS.
The hitch and tillage implement de-
monstrations held at Antelope and
Outlook were very well attended. The
committees in charge deserve a great
deal of praise for the efficient manner
in which they made the arrangements.

bitches or tillage implements can
have information on how to make
them or where they can be bought by
Writing the County Agent.
JACKRABBITS
Jack rabbits are getting very num-
erous throughout the county. The
gopher poison is not strong enough
to kill jackrabbits so the mixture has
to be stronger. The best time to
poison jackrabbits is in the winter
time. However, some are being poi
sOned now. Next winter a thorough
campaign should be put on to exter-
inmate this pest because the jackrab-
bits are doing more damage than the
gophers especially IN some localities.
The most effective way of poisoning
iackrabbits is to dip the tops f oat
bundles in the poison mixture and
hang the bundles in tripods along run
ways OF where the rabbits cOngre-

LABOR VS. KLAN
in MINNEAPOLIS
By BUDD -McKILLIPS
Federated Press Staff Correspondent

MINNEAPOLIS.-Ku Klux Khan
ism will be an issue in the city cleo
ton to be held in June At the pri-
mary election just concluded William
A Cambell, Endorsed by the local Ku
Klux, was nominated for mayor.
Campbell's opponent will be the pres
ent mayor, Col. George E. Leach, who
received almost twice as many votes
as Cambell as a result of an attack
made upon Leach by the khan.
The exalted cyclops of the Minneap-
oils khan and three alleged members
have been found guilty of criminal
libel by a Hennepin county jury.
With only two exceptions, in the
judiciary, the labor political forces
succeeded in getting their candidates
nominated. In the tenth ward, |. G.
Ccott, Socialist, received more votes
than all the other aldermanic candi-
dates combined. Al Bastis, Sixth
ward Socialist alderman is already
elected as the conservative element
could find no candidate willing to
compete with BaStis who has made an
excellent record in the city council.
The worst defeat received by the
reactionary political forces was the
drubbing given the proposed amend
ment to the city charter This amend
ment would have restricted the city in
such a manner that what are now
known as labor wards would have nc
representation in the council. The
amendment which required a three
fifths vote to pass, lacked over 10000
votes of having even a majority.
In the Fourth ward, always regard
ed as "a stronghold Of the Republican
party, the labor candidate led the
ticket. Claus Mumm, conservative
and veteran alderman of the Third
ward was eliminated by the labor vote
despite his machine which has func-
toned perfectly for years.

HUGHES HITS
RUSSIA AGAIN
By MILDRED MORRIS
ederated Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. ~ Secretary Of
State Hughes again is spreading anti
Russian propaganda to furnish an eX-
cuse for closing up the American con-
sulate at VladivOstok and to make an
alibi that viii stop the clamor Of pro-
tests from American business inter
ests in the far east which will be SER
iously handicapped by his action.
In statements to the newspapers he
makes it appear that confiscation of
American property by the Russian
government is largely responsible for
seveTing the last of Americas official
ties with Russia and that demand for
new credentials from the Vladivostok
consul was issued by Moscow to trick
the United States into recognition.
The fact is-this comes from Official
sOurces-Hughes would have been
wiling to have the VladiVOstOk consul
ate continue if Russia had waived the
question of credentials. 1t was called
to his attention that to withdraw the
consulate, the only one representing
America left on Russian territory
would injure American business inter
ests in the far, east. But what do even
American business interests matter so
long as the Hughes mind remains Sc
Curely embalmed?
The American consul at Vladivostok
as well as other foreign cOnsuls were
operating under credentials issued by
the old czarist government. The fact
that Russia's demand did not single
out our consul but included all foreign
consuls answers Hughes propaganda
that the soviet government was seek
ing to take advantage of the guIeless

Then it has to be replaced: AT the

lying idle in factories and on farms
