Chicago, Dec. Extra guards to-
day are watching Mrs. Katherine
Baluk, also known as Mrs. Otto
Malm, held for the Staying of Ed
ward Lehman, a watchman, after her

ANTHRACITE.
RATES ALSO /
ARE ATTACKED
New Rates Proposed Would
Boost the Price of Coal
in Northwest
WOULD AID DOCKS

State officials taking an active
part in revealing the forces back of
the rate conspiracy. against North
Dakota, said to be responsible for
the proposed increased freight rates
on North Dakota coal, are giving
close attention to the announcement
by railroads hauling anthracite by
rail from the east to the Twin Cities
that an increased rate on the all-rail
haul would become effective January
l. The increased rate which is being
sfrenuously opposed by Twin City
dealers would bring the carrying
charge on anthracite from $3.50 per
ton to 1922, an increase of Is per-
cent, and would add materially to
the COST of hard coal and lessen the
competition offered by all-rail coal
to the dock interests.
1T is apparent" one official de-
clared today, "that the same forces
which are trying to throttle the lig-
mite industry and drive North Dako-
ia coal from the territory served by
the dock interests are endeavoring to
eliminate coal hauled by rail to the
Northwest. A large surplus of coal
at the docks this year has compelled
drastic action such as the 'conspir-.
acy' against North Dakota coal and
this attempt to keep anthracite haul
ed by rail out Of the territory in
which the dock companies are seek
ing to unload their huge supplies. If
Ignite and coal hauled by rail to
the Northwest were eliminated from
the field by exorbitant freight
charges the consumers would be at
the mercy Of the dock interests for
prices are now held down by compe-
tition."
1t was stated by many here thiS
appears to strengthen the opinion, Of
q community of interest" between,
the dock interests and railroads and
undoubtedly will result in a more
careful attention by President Cool |
dge to the request Of Governor Nes-
tos that Congress appoint q commits
sion to investigate the attempt being
made by interests outside the state
ID interfere with the. industrial de-
velopnient Of North Dakota. !

SENDS INVITATION

Paris, Dec. 1.--(By the Associated
Press)-An invitation to the United
States to appoint members of the
two committees which are to investi-
gate German finances has been for
warded to Washington by Colonel
James A. Logan on behalf of the re-;
paratiOns CONN ;ssion.
According to information in repar-
ations circles, the principal reason
why the door was left open by the
reparation commission for the Amer
lean government to be represented on
the committee was that the French,
British and Italian governments were
agreed that American money would
be essential to any reasonable plan
for restoration Of the German finan-
cial system.
Premier Poincare, it is declared,
did not expect Secretary of State
Hughes to refuse so quickly the con-
ditions insisted upon by France for
the originally proposed inquiry into
Germany's capacity to pay repara-
ti6ns. M. Poincare thought, it il
said, that a period of negotiations
would take place in which France
would be prepared to 60 much furth-
er in the direction of American views
providing some concessions were
made regarding her debts to England
and the United States.

The National Woman's party, cry
ing for equality of the sexes" hears
this helpful answer to its cry and
would be happy if it were not doing
business in this sad world for nobler
purposes than happiness. There are
all too many men, it may be feared,
mean-spirited enough to shun work II
they have wives forehanded or earn
ing good salaries or wages. Hence
forth will not a little cloud of doubt
hang over the raptures of even the
most ardent sutton? How can his fair
she be sure that his matrimonial are
not alimonial intentions? In time
even the Industrious, willing worker
may be thrust from his economic posi-
ton by the superior sex.
A Kansas farmer, giving his dau-
ghter in marriage the other day, said:
81 have lost my best hired man, for
that girl can pillow corn as good as
any Of them" In many other fields
zconquering woman "can pillow as good
as any of them" Isn't the dethroned
sovereign entitled to decent maint-
enance? And in such a case as that
of the Sunfower father, is there not
substantial ground for a revival of
marriage by purchase?

The silo, under proper man.
agement, can lift the heaviest
mortgage. 1t has been known to
put meat on mere bones and
sickness into wrinkled hides.
1t has saved men from bankrupt
icy and women from broken
heart. 1t has sent promising
youths to college and built COM
Portable homes for care-worn
mothers. A well filled silo is
worth more to any farm than
an empty politician. A silo for
every farmer would do more
good to the agricultural inter-
ests of the country than if we
had farmer in every senator.
Better a silo filled with food
for stock than stableful of
food for thought.
When the Sculptor of the fu-
ture shall hew from the endur-
ing granite of the northwest a
statue of the Liberator of Agri-
culture he will bring forth a
colossal figure, clad in the hab-
iliments of the soil tiller, bear
ing upon the outstretched palm
of the left hand silo and upon
the palm of the right Holstein
cow.
Better a silo and a herd of
Holstein cows than the capitol
at Washington and five hundred
price-fxing congressman.
When things have gone wrong
in any of the basic divisions OF
human society, the remedy is al
ways to be found in turning back
to the elemental and the funda-
mental. At the foundation of the
industry of agriculture is the
COW. She was the first aid to the
first husbandman. She is the
cornerstone of mans achievement
upon the earth. Using the term
in its broadest sense, we may say
that, industrially speaking, the
COW is the mother of the human
race"
Ever since man left the Gar
den Of Eden, he has been milk
ing cows. He has been rob-
bing the cow by taking from her
everything that she has product
ed and grudgingly only has he
given her her food in return for
all that she has given him.
The silo is a belated attempt
to do better by the cow and, in
her historic unselfishness. She
will repay every such attention a
hundredfold.
Forward to the Silo and back
to the COW!
The Free Press suggests that the

statues Of the cow and tn
these take the place of the gid
horses which now disfigure the top

The Silo and the Cow.

Too much praise cannot be given
the cow-and she cannot be hand
led too gently if good results are
to be obtained from her patient la
bors in behalf of humanity. The Free
Press regards the cow highly. She
should be appreciated by mankind.
Her worth cannot be overestimated.
In this connection The Free Press is
pleased to give space to the following
tribute to the cow. 1t was penned by
Gunnar B. Bjornson, editor of The
Minnesota Mascot:
The silo is the advance agent

of prosperity. 1t is the dyni-
mo from which the cow draws
her power to produce dollars.
Where the silo rears its head
above the group of buildings on
a farmstead, it will be an ex-
ception to find a shiftless farm
err or thriftless home.
The silo-that silent sentinel
of saneness, sense and security

to be transformed into the bullion

MOTOR LAW IS
TO BE CHANGED

Nevada motorists would be en-
abled to make short trips at will
without the necessity of worrying
about nonresident permits in Cali
fornia, and automobile dealers
would be convenienced in holding
their demonstrations in contiguous
counties of that state. through plans
now on foot, says the Journal.
The Nevada State Highway as
ISOLATION, which has been in cor
respondence with the two greatest
motor associations in California re-
garding the matter, received word
that these two associations have
adopted a legislative program cal
culated to bring about the above
benefits to Nevada.
First, the California automobile
men are asking for fiat 50 regis
tration fee from autos in that state,
which revenue they will supplement
by a gasoline tax sufficient to pay
the necessary annual expense.
Second, after an intensive investi-
cation Of the subject of non-resi-
dent permits, the Californians now
favor amending the present act so
that visitors will have ten days in
which to register and will propose to
the legislature that the period for
which nonresident registration
holds good be extended from 80
days to six months.
