SHELBY SCRAP MAY

FINANCIAL CRASHES

Both the Stanton Trust and
Savings Bank of Great Fails
and the State Bank of Shelby,
Of which Mayor jim Johnson is
president, have closed their
doors since the Dempsey-Gib-
bons fight at Shelby which caus-
ed a loss to promoters of about
100000. President Stanton
furnished $4,000 of the Demp-
sey guarantee and it is said
Mayor Johnson had more than
S130.OO0 sunk in the bout.
However, both men deny that
the bout had anything to do
with the closing Of their institu-
tions. The Shelby bank is affili-
ated with the Stanton institu-

NEW GREAT NORTHERN
SCHEDULE SAVES TWO HOURS

The Great Northern Railway an
nOunceS an important change in its
transcOntinental train service effective
Sunday, July 10Th, by reducing the run
ming time of its Oriental Limited" be-
tween Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Spokane, Tacoma, Seattle, Port
land and North Pacific Coast points.
The new schedule will cut two hours
off the present running times between
Chicago and Portland, Tacoma and
Seattle; one hour and forty-five min
utes between Chicago and Spokaneand
will reduce the running time between
the Twin Cities and Spokane, Port
land, Seattle and Tacoma one hour.
This quickened service is made pos
sible by the excellent condition of it's
roadbed, the additions to its double
track and automatic block signals, the
laying of $50 pound rail through the
Rocky and Cascade Mountains, which
is the heaviest rail now in use on any
line in the West, and the fact that it
crosses the Rocky mountains at the
/, lowest altitude of any Northern Trans
continental line. Another reason
which has brought about this reduc-
ton in running time is the delivery of
% new passenger mountain type loco
motives built especially for this SER
vice by the Baldwin Locomotive
Works. This new type of locomotive
is built to haul heavy transcontinental
trains over long runs, thus reducing
delay due to frequent change of en-
gines.
The Burlington Route, over which
the "Orental Limited" is operated be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul, and the
Great Northern Railway, over which
it runs West of st. Paul to the Coast,
comprises the shortest distance be-
tween Chicago and Portland-Seattle.
This new schedule will make. excel
lent connections at Chicago with all
fast trains, with ample time for thea
ire going, shopping or the transaction
of business.
Eastward from the Pacific Coast
this service will provide the only fast
train on a seventy hour schedule with
evening departure through to Chica-
go via the Twin Cities.

Did you ever stop to consider the
cost of dom gwithOut HEALTH?
We all admit the necessity of
good health, but how many of us
give the matter sufficient thought
to realize the cost of poor health.
Frankly, we should be just as
much concerned about keeping
our bodies in perfect running or
der as we are about looking to
the welfare of our automobiles. If
we neglected them, they soon be-
come big troubles, and then we be-
gin to pay. Most of us have our
cars looked over occasionally to
prevent that very thing.
How many of us show the same
consideration for our bodies? Do
we care for the little troubles as
they arise, or do we wait until they
become serious? Strange, isn't it,
that we seldom count the cost of
neglected HEALTH?
We must absolutely get away
from the idea that we cannot
afford to care for our health.
Let us rather be convinced that
the cost of i'll health is far more
expensive than going to the ChirO-
practOr to get well and keep
well. The one Incompatible gift
you possess is your health. You
cannot afford to do without it.
Let us explain more fully why
ChirOpractic is the better way to-
health. Consultation is free.

FARMERS EARN ooo
LESS THAN $1,000
In United States Last Year, and Only
S465 An Average in 1920, Says n. /.
Senate Agricultural Committee.

Senate Agricultural Committee.
NEW YORK.-Half the farmers in
the United States made less than
81 900 last year, according to Nathan
Straus Jr., chairman agricultural COM
mittee. New York state senate.
Straus, who has specialized on the
problems of food production, declares
in the American Agriculturlst that
while the terrOrs of crop failure have
been largely overcome by agricultur-
al research, no increased prosperity
has come to the farmer from his larg-
er. crops.
BANNER YEAR YIELDS 81, $50
"The average farmers reward for
his long hours of work and his risk,
was, in 1919, a banne year, Sl,456," he
says. at was only S465 in 1920. 1t
was 81, 211 in 1922"
APPLES SELL FOR S25 BARREL
In this state also, he continues,
which is first among the states OF the
UNISON in its production of milk and
milk products, the dairy farmer gets
4 and 5 cents a quart for milk for
which the housewife has TO pay IA to
is cents quart.
COOPERATION SOLUTION
He urges cooperation as solution
of the farmers marketing problems
This state, he says, is doing practical
ly nothing to reduce the big difference
between prices on the farm and food
prices in the city.
In the last session Of the New York
legislature Straus introduced res0lu-
ton providing for a committee to
study the subject of farmers coopera-
ton. The bill passed the senate but
was killed in the lower house.

Lake ~Ci-y, Fla.-Thomas Walter
Hicgiubotham was found guilty of
murder of Martin Tabert of North
Dakota i'm the second degree by
jury here. The jury was out one hour
and twenty minutes.
Higginb0tham was sentenced to 20
yeai- Imprisonment. He was released
on $4,000 bond pending hearing of
appeal.
The former convict whipping boss
was accused Of having caused the
death of Tabert as the result of a
beating administered While the North
Dakotan was serving a term in the
Putnam Lumber company convict
lease camp. The trial consumed thir-
teen days.
The death Of Tabert finally resulted
in an investigation of the whole leas-
ing system and its adjustment by the
Florida legislature. That body also
prohibited corporal unishment. Be-
fore the Florida legislature convened,
the senate of North Dakota adopted
a memorial asking the Florida law
makers to investigate the death of
Tabert.

son and emotions of all His words
to the fishermen bore conviction to
the learned men of the Roman bench.
Again we read in the same speech
Because | am holding temporarily
a position of official prominence, [
have been privileged in being invited
into associations with many of our
sO-called secret fraternal societies. |
find that each of them has as it's
foundation and the reason for it's eX-
istence the furtherance of brother
hood and the Christian virtues of
charity, mercy, Justice and brotherlv
love.
Moreover, the practice OF these
virtues has been suggested by the
ways of happiness in the daily lives
OF men. For example, and I am sure
it will be no breach of faith to relate
it-I was admitted into a fraternity
of Alaskan Pioneers and l was obli-
gated never to kick dog, or to work
a morse with sore back or shoulder.
Now that was simple thing that
Christ Himself would have urged; it
was an expression of mercy and af-
fection by these pioneers for the bru-
tes who could not speak a protest;
of considerate concern for the life of
service. On the whole I am we'll
persuaded that many tenders of fell
lowship have come to me because
men wish to have practiced in official
life the teachings of brotherhood and
friendship and sympathy which have
sweetened their own pathways"
The story of our late President
being initiated into the society of
Alaskan Pioneers reminds us Of the
editorial he wrote in the Marion Star
on the poisoning of dog in his COM
munity. He showed his profound re-
sentiment of such action on the part
of human being, and revealed to
us most beautiful side of his nature.
Many times these little things rath-
er than the more ostentatious ones
reveal to us the man. This brings to
mind the story of Lincoln, who held
up procession of statesmen that he
might release bird that had become
entangled in wire fence When a
man becomes too great to notice these
little things we may we'll doubt his
greatness.
In this hour. of grief we do not
think so much of Mr. Harding
as stateman, but we think of those
simple household virtues that make
the whole world kin and which after
all are the strength ofsthis nation and
the foundation of all human society.
The pure family life, the love of one
man for one woman, the sincere
friendships, the unfailing kindness
the inflexible honor and integrity,
the open heart, the modest bearing
the gracious demeanor. These will
cling to his memory here and here
after.
His knightly devotion to the wife
of his young manhood is comparable
to that of Mckinley, and in return
we see her to the very last rendering
service to him that could only be
inspired by love and unfagging devo-
ton. In his home, the foremost
household of the land, has been a
foremost example of that household
virtue, love of husband and wife,
which is one Of the best things man
has gained so far in the uncounted
years of his evolution
So because of his nobility of cha
racter, his gentleness of nature, his
strength of manhood, his sincerity of
purpose, his high mindedness in duty,

that before he ever made a

CATTLE QUARANTINE
MATERIALLY MODIFIED
Continued from page one)

Arizona, by proclamation, voluntarily
enlarged the quarantine are area to
include some so townships, wholly
surrounding the infected range area
where scab was located. This large
quarantine area has been systema-
tically and efficiently patroled by
riders; allowing no cattel to drift
into or out of the quarantine zone,
and such precautions have been dou-
bly, sure for the reason that the north
ern boundary of the enlarged quar-
antine area is the right of way of
the Santa Fe Railroad, which is
practically enterely fenced.
The Little Colorado River, running
almost east and west thrOught the
County, forms somewhat of natur-
al barrier which keeps cattle from
moving into or out Of the infected
area from the southern portion of
the county.
Besides guarding and holding the
cattle within the area, all infected
or suspected animals are now being
dipped twice under the supervision of
DR.. Douglas and Dr. Schneider, Fed
eral Veterinarian of the Bureau of
Animal Industry.
Thro the association and DR.. Dou-
glas these conditions and facts were
layed before the California Veterin-
arian and an urgent appeal made to
him for lifting the quarantine against
those sections of Apache County lying
outside of the quarantine area. DR..
Iverson of California was most will
ing to listen to these facts and he at
once dispatched an official letter to
DR.. Douglas stating that Apache
County cattlemen not in the exposed
area may now proceed in shipping
cattle to California buyers, under
certain restrictions; these condi-
being that each shipment from the
free district is to be accompanied by
a health certificate signed by the
State Veterinarian of Arizona, show
ing the cattle so shipped to be free
from scab and exposure thereto.
Following is an extract from the let
ter transmitted by DR.. Iverson.
eff you can assure me that no cat
tie from the quarantine area in Apa
che County have drifted north or
south it appears We can accept cat
tie from those districts provided each
shipment is accompanied by a health
certificate signed by you showing
freedom from scab and exposure
thereto. Such certificate should also
contain the information the cars in
the shipment have been cleaned and
disinfected or have not been used
for shipping scabby or exposed cat
tie. You may accordingly advise
your cattlemen to proceed with this
understanding; however, if scab ap
pears outside of the quarantined area
necessary changes in the regulations
will at once became effective"
Cattlemen of Apache County are
thus assured that they can now pro-
ceed with their usual fall marketing
and the stOckmen in these free dis
tricts of this northeastern county
can operate under no severe handi-
cap, which was apparent under the
recent restriction.
Under date of August an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Sacra-
mento stated that an embargo had
been placed against all Arizona cat
tie entering California Upon i'm
mediate inquiry by DR.. Douglas and
officials of the Arizona Cattle Grow
