Wanted by the Farmers
Farm Bureaus State Referendum
Shows Twelve to One Radio for
County Agent Bill

Farmers Of Minnesota have voted
overwhelmingly for the county agent
and agricultural extension work. In a
statewide referendum, taken in De-
cember and Jtnuary by Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation, the ratio
for a change in the present law which
will require county commissioners to
appropriate funds for the work was
IL to 1. With such a law in force, all
counties in the state would be in posi-
ton to obtain funds made available
by the federal Smith-Lever act. First
results of the state referendum were
announced this week.
To carry out this mandate from the
membership, officers of the Farm Bur-
eau federation are strongly supporting
q bill that has been introduced in both
the state House and Senate. Under
its provisions, county extension bud

made up of seven members; four from
the County Farm Bureau, two from
the county commissioners and the
county auditor. After this committee
has agreed on a plan to carry on
county extension work, the commits
sioners are to make the appropriation,
the same as is done for other items of
routine expense.
In the referendum, farmers were
asked for their positions on fifteen
state legislative issues and thirteen
national questions.
In the state division, demand for
limiting tonnage hauled on highways
obtained the heaviest vote, the ratio
being 26 to 1. A law that would per-
NIT farmers to organize their own
credit associations was almost as pop
MAR, the ratio being % to /.
On the question of exempting CO.
operative corporations from the double
liability of stockholders, the negative
has margin Of 500, the ratio being 4
to 5.
Cost of production studies, the farm
ers voted IL to l, should be continued.
By the same ratio, they asked for
restoration of the Minnesota grades
on wheat. Branch banking is condemn
ed, 3 to 1. Increased aid for county
agent and demonstration work is IA
yored, II to 1. State aid for education
al purposes equal to three mill tax is
favored, to 1. Laws to protect nat
nral resources are endorsed, 10 to 1. A
state bank guarantee law is favored,
10 to l, and state hail insurance law.
z to A. By 5 to ratio, the farmers
are opposed to extension of free en-
ployment service.
Further issuances of tax-free secur-
titles is Endorsed 9 to 1. On the cues
ton of increasing maximum federal
farm loan from $4,000 to $25 900, the
ratio in favor is 2 toll. Farmers voted.
SO to l, to restore rate regulating pow
ers to state Railroad and Warehouse
commissions. Continuance of federal
aid for highway construction is asked,
II to l. A sales tax is opposed, 6 toll.
BY ratio of AZ to 1, farmers have
demanded a law providing for 12- "a
and 26-month rediscount loans for
agricultural production purposes. The
principle OF guaranteed income on
liked valuations as provided by the
Esch- Cummins act is opposed, 9 to 1.

training in agriculture under the u. S.
Veterans Bureau but who are not
in physical condition, because Of their
war disabilities to operate general
farm. Here they can specialize in
poultry, bees, and truck gardening,
besides keeping a cow.
Three requirements are laid down:
first, the men must be married; second
they must be taking poultry course
in an agricultural college, and third,
they must have satisfactory standings
in their studies. These constitute the
essential factors for successful farm
ing of this type.
The plan is to sell these tracts to
such men on an installment plan, the
payments extending over a period of
years. As the men will all be taking
training under the Veterans Bureau
and are married, they will receive
a maintenance allowance Of $135, Oh.
more, according to the number Of de-
pendents. They will be able to make
payments on their farms for several
years from that source as well as from
the income from the farms themselves.
Men on this project will be able to
attend heir classes in colleg win,
is less than mile away, and develop
their farms at the same time.

ment to all former servicemen direct
ing their attention to the desirability
Of having the insurance they carried
in the service reinstated. He said:
"Ask the first six persons you meet
who own automobiles whether they
have their cars insured against fire,
theft, and accident, Ask six of your
friends who own farms whether they
have their farm buildings, farm i'm
plements and live stock insured; ask
six of your acquaintences who own
homes whether they have their homes
and furniture insured"
"You will find in each instance that
those who have their property insured
are the most prosperous and most
businesslike of the six. Consider their
example"
eff it is worth while to insure auto
mobiles, farm buildings and houses,
isn't it still more important to insure
that which is infinitely more valuable
your own life? All the veterans of
the world war should reinstate their
Government insurance at once"

 observance of testimony and what I have heard" MT. Corrigan added Heads me to believe that the presen. tation of evidence by policemen re. garding violations of the Mullan- Gage law has not always been honest and there has not always been an honest attempt to enforce the law.
 From April. 1921, when the Null lent Gage law went into effect, to De- cember 31, 1922, there were arrested in Manhattan and the Bronx for li- quor violations 14.263. About 13,000 of these were in Manhattan. Of these there were held in Manhattan for the grand jury 5,5s7 or 43 per cent. Of these held 65S, or about II per cent, were indicted and IS, or about .032 per cent were convicted.
 If police force cannot get more than 65S indictments and IS convic- tions out of 13,000 cases it is either absolutely inefficient or criminally corrupt"
 "In 1921 53 per cent of those ar- rested were held; in 1922 only 42 per cent of those arrested were held for the grand jury a decrease of nearly a fifth" said the magistrate. Either these arrests were justified or not. These figures do not lie. Not even the most astute accountant of the 'pl,lnderbund' could list them to shou a decent administration of the law" You are living up to your reputa- tion," exclaimed the commissioner. Your statements are heresay and just a tirade against the police. The fact that Magistrates discharge. grand iuries do not indict and petit jurors do not convict does not show that the police are no making an honest ef- fort"

 The state legislature now is con sidering bill that would permit the naming of receiver for the colony
 Mir. Dewhirst charged. legislators interested in bills unfavorable to the colony were playing politics.
 The colony has no creditors. pays it's own bills, attends to its own busi- ness and is not trying to run anyone elsets business" the statement said. And where does all this talk and islander about Benjamin Purnell come from? Not "a word of it from the thousand contented members of the House of David. Does any sensible person believe Benjamin and Mary would command the love and respect of these thousand members if one- tenth of what has been published were true? We all know the charges are false and that is why there is no commotion in the House of David"

AUTHOR TRIED FOR
 DOTS AND DASHES
Students Court in Jest Places
 Sentence on Noted English Author

London, April iS.--Rsgs, in ths parlance of English university stu. dents, are not rags at all in tho ordi. nary sense. If there were glossary of English and American slang, the American equivalent of rag probably would be razz.
 To illustrates: When the students Of Edinburgh University recently re- fused to allow former Prime Minister Lloyd George to make his speech on politics, that was rag. When somebody threw live hen from the balcony, sending the audience below into an uproar, 1t was decidedly a rag.
 Recent Demonstration.
 The most recent concrete demon- stratlon of the word occurred lately at Leeds when H. c. Wells, the au- thor, was subjected to severe rag ging by the students of the City of Leeds Training College. Mir. Wells went to the institution to deliver a lecture, and the first thing he knew ore of the students, carrying broom representing the wand of justice, ac- costed the author and declared
 T arrest you in the name of the Grown and Anchor
 The technical charge against the suspect was "using an excessive num- Der of dots with feonious intent in his various books. Without chance to protest. MT. Wells was dragged to the students court tried and sum- marily sentenced.
 Sentence Imposed.
 This was the sentence: You must either transcribe your Outline of His tory from Morse to Semaphore or work 1t out in cunieform writing without the assistance of the Moabite stone and the Tel-el-amarna tablets.
 Although Mir. Wells counsel, in- dulging in the copious puns for which English barristers are famous, put up a strong plea that the use of dots was a. professional privilege and that the use of so many dots tended to prove that the prisoner was in his dotage, thus constituting extenuating circumstances, there was no appeal from the judges sentence. It was decided by the "court' that this ex- cessive use of dots was a peril to phonetics and dominoes, and MT. Wells had to take the consequences. |
 MT. Wells. however, submitted to | the ragging like a good sport, and in perfect cockney accent declared to the court that he could do the sen- tence lon me 'ead."

London, April IS, (By Associated Press).-The session of the house o, commons which began at 2:45 o'clock Thursday afternoon was still in pro. gress at 6 o'clock this morning. The house resolved itself into a committee to consider the annual army bill late last evening and occu- pied itself throughout the night with a discussion of the measure and its various amendments.
 The proceedings were uneventful for the members had been somewhat subdued by the more strenuous meet ,ngs of the past few days. Even the fatigue of long sitting which or- dinarily tends to make the common CTS irritable seemed powerless on this occasion to upset their resolution ito be good"
 The lesson of recent events evi- dently had its effect on the govern ment supporters who were present in strength determined to avert another surprise defeat.
 Liberal members of both sides were absent but it was understood they were within call in case of an emer- gency. The debate was chiefly car ried on by the laborites several of whose amendments were voted down by considerable majorlties.
