STATE GIVES AID
TO POULTRY SHOWS

The Pine County Poultry asso-
citation is receiving a check for
$275.44, state aid, this week. The
state appropriation for aid to
Poultry Associations is $4,000
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 $324.05 at the last
show and is reimbursed on the
basis of eighty-fve cents on the
dollar, the $4,000 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 $500.
For the last three years so
many societies have held shows
that the appropriation made by
the Legislature has been INSULT
cient to reimburse them in full.
AS a result, the money is divi-
ded 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 pur-
pose of encouraging poultry soci-
cites in Minnesota. Seven years
ago there were twenty-five socie-
ties holding shows and the state
aid paid out by the Auditor to-
tailed $6,SSS. In the twelve
months just past, eighty societies
held shows, their total of premi-
ums paid being S23,5l6.5S.

LIVESTOCK FIRMS
SUSPENDED, FINED
South st. Paul Market I'm
dergoing Cleanup Under
Federal Supervision.
(By Farm Bureau News serviee)

(By Farm Bureau News Service)
Nine commission firms operat-
ing on the South S. Paul livestock
market have been fined or sus-
pended during the last two
months, as an indirect result of
federal supervision, under the
stockyards control act. In addi-
ton, one firm, previous to the be-
ginning of the federal audit, re-
tired from the market, under an
agreement which stipulates that
it will never, directly or indi-
rectly, resume operations.
Official announcement of the
firms fined or suspended-in
some cases both have been i'm
posed-is being withheld by Ex-
change officials until the present
so-called cleanup" campaign is
completed. Auditors, working
under the federal supervisor,
are engaged in going over the
books of all firms. When viola
ton of the Exchanges rules of
yard practices are found, these
are reported to Exchange offici-
ais, who have imposed the pun
ishment.
Thus far, % of the 80 firms on
the market have had their books
audited. One firm has been in
definitely suspended because, ac-
cording to reports, its books are
not complete. Five firms have
been fined $3.50 and obliged to
suspend operations for 30 days.
Three firms have been fined,
without suspension. Thus, of the
% firms whose books have been
examined, nine have penalized,
one way or the other.
Whether the suspended firms
will be permitted to resume oper-
atoms is a question that will be
answered by the South st. Paul
Stock Yards company, upon
whose physical property the COM
Emission men do business under
agreements that are similar to
leases.
Auditing of books at South st.
Paul has been under way for two
months and probably will con-
tinue for as many more. Before
the work is completed, records of
all Exchange members as well as
the Independent and cooperative
firms will have been examined.
When the audit is ended a public
statement of all firms fined, sus-
pended or otherwise punished for
violation of rules and trade prac-
tices will be made according to
Charles l.. Haas, president of the
Exchange.
For the present, however, no
official information is being Civ
en- out, despite the fact that
many firms are not operating and
the market is flooded with
rumors as to new developments
in the Investigation. An impress.
sive phase of the cleanup" is
the fact that among the firms
that have temporarily suspended
operations are those that have
been handling the largest volume
of business. Rumors are afloat
that farmers and others may in
stigate civil suits to recover
amounts reported to have beer
lost by producers as a result Of
violations revealed by the audits

IN HONOR OF
LATE PRESIDENT

preston made upon him when he
first visited the national capitol. His
heart was thrilled when he stood in
the presence of the majectic capitol
building, the congressional library
the beautiful white house. He thought
of congress, the senate and the su-
preme court; the army and navy.
Here, he said, is the strength and
power OF this great republic. But a
few days later when he went down in
to old Virginia and saw a farmer, in
dependent, sturdy and true go about
his daily tasks with Joy and skill. he
saw the noble wife busy with her
household work singing and brooding
ner children with true mothers love,
at night the family gathered at the
fireside and reading from the Holy
Book offered praise and thanksgiving
to God, Mr., Stratton saw that the hope
and strength of this republic is in the
homes of our people rather than in the
buildings and institutions at WASH
ington.
We return to our homes today from
this gathering with the cons ciousness
that President Harding has not lived
nor died in vain. The precious MEM
DRY Of his life. the sacred influence of
his character, abides as a spiritual
upon the people of this
nation.

AT THE LIBERTY.

For Friday and Saturday night
comes Owen Moore, backed by two
beauties of the screen. Marjorie Daw
and Kathryn Perry, in Love is an
Awful Thing" a delightful comedy,
clean and entertaining throughout. AS
a chaser there will be one of those
Harold Lloyd comedies that can al
ways be depended upon for both a
thrill and laugh. For Sunday evening
only there will be presented Always
the woman. with the winning Betty
Compson as the leading lady. The pic
ture is intensely interesting and the
story swings from ancient times
to the present day. TIE play is said to
be intensely dramatic and is presented
by very strong cast. Also a comedy
entitled Knocking En- Cold" and the
very title is enough to arouse expecta-
lions of lot of funny stuff.

PRACTICAL JOKER.

strata of humor that crops out occas-

Monday, while digging ditch for a
water pipe he uncovered boulder
that had all the lineaments of hui
man face. He carried the rock to his
paint shop and after touching 1t up
with a dab OF paint placed it in his
show window. Very soon a pedestrian
halted and examined the stony face
in the window. Then the curious
gazer walked into the s;lop and inquir-
ed what the thing happened to be. Mr..
Wehe stated that 1t was the head of a
mummy that he had received by par
GELS post that morning. The news
spread like wild fire and the paint
shop was besieged all day by people
who wanted to see a face carried
around by an individual that peopled
the world centuries ago. While the de-
ception was kept up Mr.. Wene ex-
tracted> vast amount of amusement
from the excitement that he ha1 Gre
