Farmer Proves
Sheep Raising II :
Is Successful

Beach, N. D., Oct. 1.-The sheep
story told by A. J. Beier, of Thelen,
is one that should interest farmers
discouraged with other branches Of
agriculture. In 1918 Mr.. Beier pur-
chased a flock Of 80 head Of breed
ing ewes, 80 lambs and three bucks.
The purchase price was $1,720, and
this outlay was made when prices
we're at the peak. Unlike many others,
Mr.. Beier did not sell his sheep at
any price he could obtain, but in
stead kept them. In five years, his
initial investment Of S1,720 has
amounted to $1,319.43 annually, and
the original stock, which has grown
to 237 sheep and lambs, worth $3.50

Intimate Details on

Jesse L. Livermore, New York stock

lands committee some intimate details
Of operations on Wall street and, Incl
dentally. upset popular belief as to a
brokers' commission.
Appearing as a witness In the inquiry
into the leasing Of naval oil reserves,
Livermore described the formation in
October. 1922. of group to make a
market for the stock Of the Mammoth
Oil Company, the subsidiary of Harry
F. Sinclair, which was organized to op-
crate Teapot Dome Reserve No. 3. AS
a result OF an advertising campaign, the
witness said, public subscriptions were
received for $4,000 shares at $40 a
share. and 100000 shares were allotted.
Purchase of Shares.
These shares subsequently were re-
purchased by the syndicate Interested
In the issue at prices ranging from
$40 to $3.50. On the entire deal,
fivermore said, involving sale and re. re-
purchase of more than s10,000.O 900

was s9,916.

SENATORS TO STUDY
D. C. CAR LINES

Senator Ball. chairman Of the Dis
trict committee. said today that his
committee would conduct an investiga-
ton into the street railway and bus
line situation in Washington soon after
the Christmas recess had ended.
The committee will consider pro-
posals for merging the street car lines
and also for merging with them the
bus lines.
In the opinion Of Senator Ball the
present law which 1evies tax on the
Gross earnings of the street railway
companies should be changed so as to
tax the net earnings of these COM
panies. If the bus lines are to con-
tinue to operate independently, he said.
their earnings also should be taxed,
and they should be called upon to car
ry a certain fee for the use Of the
streets.
The proposal of Senator McKeaar of
Tennessee to force the street car COM
panies to return to a flve-cent fare will
be given consideration by this commit
tee while the whole matter is under dis
cusSton.

ing well satisfied with the culmina-
ton of their interview, and although
both declined to make any reference
to what the President told them. they
each said the interview was entirely
satisfactory and that they felt sure
that the matter would work to the
Subtraction of all concerned within
a short time. Neither Of these SEN
ators would venture an opinion as to
the Presidents reasons, nor could
they offer any idea regarding the
Presidents future course. The con-
sensus of opinion is that the Presi-
VIII he show by any future action
any resentment for the rejection of
Chairman Farley.
In this connection the President
Is known to have been advised by any
number of republican senators and
objection to Mr.. Farley and that he
probably would be turned down by
the Senate because of the technicality
regarding the geographical apportion-
ment provided by law for the selec-
ton OF the members of the Shipping
Board.
Did Not Take II Seriously.
1t is known further that several
days ago when the matter Of this geo.
BTapHlCdi tSCnnlCdllIy was DTOukHI 10
his attention President Coolidge held
that If the Senate saw At to permit
the nomination of Albert d. Lasker,
who lived in the great lakes region,
while T. " O'Connor already was on
the board from that district, he could
not understand why. after establish
ing this precedent. technical viola
tion Of the law should be used in the
case OF Mr.. Farley, who. like Mr..
Lasker is a resident Of Chicago.
1t is thought by those who saw the
President today that during the holi-
days he will give considerable study
to the future personnel of the Ship
ping Board, and that shortly after the
Senate reconyenes he will be ready to
rcsubmit the nominations Of Mr..
Haney and Mt. Thompson, and will
probably be in a position to make
decision as TO the selection of a sue
cessor to Chairman Farley. In fol-
lowing out strictly the geographical
feature Of the law, It is thought that
the President will cast about for
new chairman somewhere in the
vicinity of Missouri or Iowa.
