of passive resistance offers q suitable moment for the accomplishment of their designs. The secessionists have organized special police force which is to be clothed in green uniforms, similar to those worn by the Prussian green police"
 Situation Is Grave
 The German press in the Rhineland admits the gravity of the situation arising from the secession sentiment and declares this will materially com plicate the impending negotiations with France. It gives warning that the strength of the movement must not be underestimated.
 'Rhinelanders, be on your guard" the Cologne Gazette captions it's edi- torials which remarks that the veil of secrecy with which the separatists have attempted to conceal their ma- chiHRtions now has been removed.
 Give No Quarter
 Cologne Sept. 26.-"Give no quar- ter to the secessionist traitors" is the command given by the labor leaders in the Rhineland to their following, who are urged to bend all efforts toward the maintenance of national unity.
 The opinion of the German press in the Rhineland area supports the Berlin governments action in calling off passive resistance, but warning is given against possible advantage be- Ing taken of the situation by the separatist elements.
 This step deprives France and Belgium of their last pretext to dodge } reasonable settlement" says the Cologne Gazette. The Volks Zeitung admonishes the populace to observe order and dignity.
 German quarters represent popular hatred of the separatists as fast ,rystallizing into extreme indignation. If we hate Frenchman because of he torture we have been forced to said German political eader, i've despise a separatist ten imes more. However" he added, whenever we run into secessionist ye scent Frenchman."

CHECK FOR $34O
GOES TO POULTRY
Breeders and Fanciers Society
Received Amount For
Premiums Paid

The Breeders and Fanciers Coun-
| ty Poultry association of Mankato is
receiving a check for SS40, state aid,
this week The state appropriation
for aid to Poultry associations is
$50, 900 and checks to all societies
holding shows during the past twelve
months, in compliance with the law,
were mailed by the state auditor,
Tuesday.
The local association paid out in
premiums $466.50 at the last show
and is reimbursed on the basis of
eighty five cents on the dollar, the
500, 900 appropriation being divided
among the societies holding shows,
on a basis of the amount which each
society paid out in premiums, not in
any case to exceed S400.
For the last three years so many
societies have held shows that the
appropriation made by the legisla
ture has been insufficient to reim
burse them in full. AS result, the
money is divided among them pro
rata, with the additional provision
that when there are two fairs in a
county, the county's share shall be
divided among these two.
This state aid is for the purpose
OF encouraging Poultry Societies in
Minnesota. Seven years ago there
were twenty-five societies holding
shows and the state aid paid out by
the auditor totaled S6,SSS. In the
twelve months just past, eighty So
cieties held shows, their total OF
premiums paid being $23,516.58.

Fort William, Ont, June 12.-The
feeding of western sheep and cattle
on the screenings from the big
elevators at the head Of the lakes
has been carried on successfully dur
ing the past winter. The animals
are brought here from the prairie
provinces and finished for shipment
to eastern markets.
This plan was inaugurated by R.
C. Harvey, an Alberta sheep rancher,
two years ago. In 1921 he wintered
some 5000 sneep. The railways
him a through rate to eastern Ca :
madam points with stop over pr1yll :
eyes. The sheep were fed on a diet
consisting Of screenings, mixed with
an allowance Of hay. After being
fed for the winter months on this
concentrated ration, the animals
and were reloaded for eastern mar
kets.
Wintered Many Sheep
Last winter Mr.. Harvey wintered
and fed more than 10000 sheep. The
experimental stage Is over, and a
saving of thousands of dollars an
nually is expected to result from this
new scheme.
Fattening of cattle on the elevator
screenings was tried out during the
past winter with gratifying results.
There is practically an inexhaustible
supply ofsthe screenings at the head :
Of the lakes, and the wintering OF
cattle, as we'll as sheep, will prob
ably be carried on extensively next

MILL AT GOLDEN BURNED
Fire of Unknown Origin Destroyed
Property: Loss, $4,000


Property; Loss, $4,000
Golden, June 11.-Fire of un-
known origin completely destroyed
the Golden mill and contents
Thursday night. The loss is esti-
mated at approximately $4,000, of
which about one third was covered
by insurance.

midnight and the fire companies at
Sleepy Eye and Springfield were
called, but owing to the headway
the fire had gained and the lack of
sufficient water supply, nothing
could be done, except saving the
surrounding property. 1t is thought
that the fire originated from an
overheated journal in the engine
room

carload Of corn, one carload OF
wheat, one carload Of barley, car.
loads of -four, three carloads OF
