Special Session Question
Before Bureau Directors
State Federation's Supreme Govern
ing Body Considering Wheat
Problems.-This Week

Whether the Minnesota Farm Bur-
eau Federation is to support the
movement to obtain special session
of Congress and legislation to relieve
grain farmers is being settled to-
day at the State Fair.
County Directors, holding their an
nual fall business sessions, were ask
ed by J. F. Reed, president, to out
line a policy for the administration
to follow. Decision to bring the
subject before the meeting was an
nounced by President Reed, in a
statement issued late last week.
'For weeks" Mr.. Reeds statement
says, pressure has been exerted on
the state office to head up a move
ment that is now well developed in
the western counties of the state and
in North and South Dakota. The
administration is acting under in
structions given it by the Executive
Board, at it's July IL meeting, to SOL
idly support the project to hold the
exportable surplus on farms, prefer
ably in farm granaries.
Late in July and during August,
number of conferences were held
in the western part of the state. Many
of these passed identical resolutions,
asking the Farm Bureau Federation
to support the plan.
The administration has been pow
erless to act, other than under in
structions given it by the executive
board. 1t is not my purpose to dis
cuss here, the merits of the special
session proposal. 'sThe county di-
rector's supreme governing power in
the federation, will have an oppor-
tunity to direct the association s
course. / shall bring up the question
and give all concerned ample time in
which to present their views.
'sShrewd farmers will see in the
present cituation, the necessity for
using poor grades of wheat as feed
at every opportunity. AT present
prices, such wheat is more valuable
when fed to livestock than when dis
posed of in any other way"
The movement to force a special
session of Congress, with the expecta-
ton that legislation will be enacted

ROYAL CHRISTMAS SHOPP|N ENDED
British Sovereigns Make Tour Of Stores Just Like 0rdi-
 nary Folks

LONDON, Dec. 22.-(By Associated Press.) s.)-Christmas holds the same worries for Queen Mary that 1t does for any mother, and she has been spending the last few weeks In hur- ried trips to the London stores making purchases of gifts which, Is Is whis- pered. include several expensive pieces of jewelry destined for mem l. bers of the royal family. Her only grandchild, the son of Princess Mary. will probably be the recipient of an elaborate set of trains ana blocks which the queen Is said to have bought at a West End store. Tho shopping expeditions have not been limited to Her Majesty, for King George and other members of the royal family have been touring the West End mercantile establish ments lately making up their exten- sive gift lists. However, the person. al gifts of the King and Queen form only the smaller part of their Christ mas philanthrophy, for ther are hun dreds of employees at their several residences. and court officials as we'll whom tradition says must be remembered at Yuletide.
 The ancient ceremony of bestowing gifts on household employees Is car ried out in the palace as in the home of any English squire. The servants are admitted to the drawing room in d body and line nu along the wall. When the King or the squire, wNlch- ever the benefactor may be, enters the salon there is a chorus of "Mer- ry Christmas, Sir" after which the m aster walks down the line and pre- sents each with a gift and usually a bank note.
 FIattens Royal Purse.
 In the palace the only change is that some one else makes the distri- button, while Their Majesties look on. Tn the case of King George this cere- mony is the cause of a large deficit in the royal purse.
 The monarch also sends annually thousands of handsome Christmas cards on which Is engraved a picture depicting some incident in the his tory of his royal ancestors. These cards are generally sent to the royal ties and peerage of other countries, to foreign statesmen and diplomats, to members of the English peerage and to personal friends.
 Royal gift giving a mostly one- sided affair, for although a mouse may look at king he must not send him a gift of greater value than a Christmas card, because the king and queen have always made 1t a rule that they will not receive any present from personages 'of inferior rank unless they are members of the family or Close personal friends.

MOSQUITO FLEET
 HAS BUSY TIME
Blockade Frightened As Christmas Nears And Bot-' tie Fishermen Get BoIder

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N. !. Dec. 22.-CBy Associated Press.)- The coast guards mosquito fleet of speedy rum chasers, tightening their blockade of the Jersey coast as Christmas draws nigh and desperate bottle fishermen grow more bold, have had a busy time of it since last midnight.
 The airplane motor driven craft operated by "Al the Sheik" was re- ported captured when it attempted a quick dash out to the rum fleet. TAI, one of the best known bottle fisher men of this sector of rum row, was taken prisoner, charged with being in possession of one quart of Scotch whisky. His boat was empty.
 Coast guards reported they broke up rum landing party and captured a small cargo of bottled contraband off Sandy Hook, when they fright ened off 30 men and boys who ran down to the beach to help a harassed rum runner unload his goods before the government men arrived.
 The mosquito fleet was the loser in two encounters with the runners. however. Coast guards reported they fired several one-pounders across the bows of scuddinE bottle boat in a chase that extended from near the tip of Sandy Hook to well beyond the Emile limit. The last they saw Of the runner he was hitting toward the horizon with motors wide open.
 Another craft of the government t fleet reported similar experience, it's prey having led B rum chaser a merry race down the coast until the pursued was able to dodge into a convenient fog bank and disappear.
 The brush with the volunteer sal wage corps of men and boys occurred off the stone breakwatsr at the southerly tip of Sandy Hook, the coast guard sailors related.
 A runner was tearing ashore from Rum Row, loaded to the gunwales with bottles in cases. A cutter got the scent and gave chase. The run ner, his high-speed motors handi- capped by their bulky load. realized he was being outdistanced and made for the Hook, where he beached his craft with it's 200 cases of liquor.
 As the runner hit the beach, ac- cording to the government men, men and boys from neary cottages ran to the spot and were frantically tossing cases out of the boat on the sands when the coast guard men, havin E beached their craft out of sight, sur prised the salvaxers,

.LEPER 4 PROBLEM ; TO J. {. OFF |C|ALS
Surgeon General Coming To New Orleans To Help Set
 tie Question Of Trial

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 22.-(By As- sociated Press. )-George Beaure- paire, self-confessed negro murderer and inmate of the federal leprosari- um at Carville, La. has become such a problem that Surgeon General Hugh Cumming of the United States public health service will visit Lou isiana the first week in January to investigate tho situation. pr. Oscar Bowling, state health officer, an nounced today.
 Beaurepaire escaped from the in- stitution year ago and while at liberty shot and fatally wounded his wife here. In dying statement she said he had shot her when she threatened to Inform the authorities of his whereabouts.
 Beaurepaire Is a disturbing influ- ence at the leprosarium and the surgeon general desires that he be tried for the crime. State authori- ties have objected to trial on the ground that everyone in the court room would be subjected to the danger of infection by leprosy. Sur geon General Cumming then offered to supply glass cage equipped with talking apparatus so the prisoner could be examined without leaving it's confinement.
 District AttornSy R. II. Marr de-
 
 could be gained by the negros con- yiction because the law provided no other place than the leprosarium in which to confine him. We could only hope at best to obtain ver- dict of life imprisonment" said MT. Marr He Is already condemned to life isolation by his disease and noth ing will be done"
 pr. Bowling declared that such a settlement of the problem would be of the gravest danger to the safety of society.
 lepers in New Orleans and Louisi- ana, who have not been apprehend- ed and who are concealing their dread disease from the world" Dr. Bowling continued. If the district attorney means that any crime they cause they can afterward show they are afflicted with 1eprosy, then say there is no law to protect so- ciety against these unfortunates.
 T have just returned from the leprosariun@ at Garville. l am told that Beaurepaire is only being held there subject to the prosecution of the Orleans parish criminal courts He has never been regularly recom- mitted by court to the institution since his escape and his capture after the murder of his wife.
 While at CdfNiile lalheu "itu scores of the lepers confined in the institution and the great majority of these people resent the fact that Beaurepaire remains in their midst on the same footing with themselves who have committed no crime against society but who are unfortunately afflicted with leprosy. They want him punished. It Is necessary for something to he done If the disci- pline and morale of the lepers' home is to be maintained and if society is to be guaranteed any degree or safety against lepers with criminal instincts"

BERLIN, Dec. 22.-The German army, remnant of the naughty force that waded through Belgium, has donned false whiskers, a. red robe and the other conventional habili- ments to play a new role this year that of Santa Claus.
 Through the direction of General Von Seeckt. chief of staff and Ger many's unofficial dictator. the Reichswehr, or national army, has arranged Christmas for the poor people of Germany, who are at the lowest ebb in their history. N
 Von Seeckt issued an appeal throughout the nation for the more fortunate of his countrymen to share their plenty with the thousands of sufferers for whom even daily bread has become a luxury. He put the entire army to the task of gathering and ,distributlng the money, provis- ions and clothing that was received in answer to the appeal.
 On Monday night, wherever Won Seeckts ray-uniformed men are garrisoned, they will deal out their gifts to the poor. The "Dietator also opened up the army stores to the public. and decreed everything must be sold at wholesale prices
