forts to collaborate with the

the reparations problem had
failed.
Kings Message.
In his message proroguing Parlia-
ment the King said.
MY government recently initiated
negotiations aiming at the appoint
ment, with the collaboration Of the
United States Of q commission OF
inquiry to determine Germany's
capacity to pay reparations.
unfortunately 1t has not been
possible te assure the assent OF the
French government to these pro-
posaIs, which it had been hoped
would lead to q solution Of the
reparations problem.
Ny government regards with pro-
found anxiety q continuance Of the
present economic conditions in
Europe which depend so largely
upon the settlement OF this Ques-
tion."
The royal message said the Brit
ish government was giving close
consideration to the serious aitua-
ton which has arisen in Germany.
It expressed gratitude over the
Lausanne CTurkish) treaty which
soon as possible.
"It is my earnest hope" con-
tinued the message, that the con-
clusion of his treaty may bring
real peace to the Near East and
may herald an era of political and
commercial prosperity for Turkey
and the countries that are renew
ing friendly relations with Turkey.
Negotiations on Liquor.
Negotiations are proceeding with
the United States fer a settlement
Of the difficulties with regard to
the carrying OF liquor in transit and
illicit transportation to the United
States"
The king expressed sympathy for
Japan on account of the recent
earthquake and fires. He lauded
the work of the British imperial
conference which devoted particu-
lar attention to the promotion OF
trade and a settlement with the
empire upon which the well being
OF my people so largely depends. %
The message concluded:
'sThe position OF agriculture and
the problem Of unemployment con.
tinue to cause me deep anxiety.
Despite all efforts Of my govern
ment to stimulate trade and allie.
viate distress, the circumstances of
q large number Of our fellow citi-
ZenS still remain deplorable.
my ministers are convinced that
unless measures for safeguarding
and developing the home market
are adopted no permanent improve
ment In their situation can be ex-
pected."

man hunt started in the North
woods at dawn today for des.
perado with four notches on his
gun.
Heavily armed, ready to sell his
life as dearly as possible, Leonard
Portano, lumber jack, sought for
the murder of the parents of his
sweetheart, his rival in love, and a
deputy sheriff, is hiding somewhere
In the sparsely settled country near
Kelliher, fifty miles north Of here.

CURED.
No word has been received from
the posses which left at dawn.
They dared not start I'LL daylight,
for Portano is a dead shot" and
knows the woods as no other man
in this vicinity. They are proceed
ing cautiously, and couriers are ex-
jected to bring the first news Of
the hunt to Kelliher about noon.
Former Is Wounded.
Portano first wounded Oscar
Timmy, thirty-three, a farmer, at
the home Of John Sanders, another
Sanders, fifteen years old, for
whose favor Timmy and Portano
were rivals.
Portano fled and Timmy went to
Kelliher to notify the deputy sheriff
stationed there. Meanwhile, Por-
tano returned to the Sanders home
and shot the girls mother dead.
He went outside, found the father
Of the girl, tied him to q bedpost
In a cabin, threatened him for an
hour, and finally shot him dead
with a bullet through the head.
Captures Girl.
The girl took to the woods but
was caught by Portano. However,
he became alarmed over Tifnmy's s
absence and released the girl, going
down the road to lay in ambush for
Timmy and anyone he might bring
from Kelliher. Timmy was delayed
getting his wound dressed, but
when j. A. Wilson, deputy sheriff,
came down the road from Kelliher,
Portano shot him from ambush. A
few minutes later from the same
ambush he shot Timmy dead. Two
shots finished the two.
The girl Is with nearby settlers.
Whether Portano harmed her or
not has not been reported.
Portano took to the woods with
his own and the deputy sheriff s
gun, and all the ammunition he
could find on the sheriff and in the
Sanders cabin. It is believed he
will fight as long as he breathes,
and he stands a good chance to

TOPICS OF THE FARM
A Department Devoted Exclusively to Farm
Affairs in Hand County


SOW Is a mother and should be treat
ed as such, say State College extern
sion livestock specialists. The three
months, three weeks and three days
(apprOximateIduring which the SOW
is carrying her young are most m
pOrtant days: she should be watched
carefully at this time.
The SOW should get plenty OF eXer-
else. This insures a strong, healthy
Iow and litter at narrowing time
Exercise keeps the bowels moving
md in good condition and prevents
diseases. Locating the beds and the
feeding places a quarter Of d mile
apart will give the SOW the required
exercise.
Comfortable conditions should OBJ
tain in connection with the brood
sow's quarters. 1t should not be
necessary for her to pass through
narrow doors, low doors, or over any
fences. partitions and high door stills.
NcithcrShould she be made to walk
on slippery or icy places.
Every SOW not on green pasture
should receive alfalfa hay, She should
be permitted to al right from the
stack if that is the handiest way.
Another good way is to feed the hay
in a rack. If the SOW is getting only
corn and grain, II pound Of chop
ped alfalfa should be added to the ra-
lion for every 20 pounds of the grain
mixture. If chopped alfalfa is not
available, the Chaff and leaves which
accumulate where hay is pitched
from the now or stack may be used.
Alfalfa hay is one Of the best and
cheapest Of feeds and it should by
Ill means he used.
Hairless pigs and gOitrC do not OC-
Cur frequently in this state. If either
has occurred in q locality and neigh
bOrS wish to insure against it, the
best methOdd is TO purchase an
Of potassium iOdide. dissolve it in q
gallon of water, and feed one table
spoon each day 10 each SOW. This
Is a high priced drug and unless the
COW is very valuable and unless hair
less pigs have occurred in the neigh
borhood before, it will not pay to use
this treatment.

THE FARMERS WIFE
Weekly Service Hints Furnished by
state College Specialists Of
Br00kings
Mary Ann Gray

Other suggestions for pretty Christ
mas tree ornaments which can b."
made at very slight cost from Ordi-
nary materials come from the art de
partment and specialists in
the Extension service as follows:
COLORED TRANSPARENCIES-
The only material required is black
paper, colored tissue paper and paste.
Black squared construction paper is
best for this purpose. Cut the paper
into decorative shapes two to five
inches long and of suitable widths.
At one end cut a small opening
through which a tissue paper ribbon
hang the ornament to the tree.
Rectangles, pointed at the bottom.
various shaped triangles, Christmas
bells. or stars, make good foundation
shapes. Gu two shapes alike and cut
out the insides Of each to a quarter
inch margin all around the edges. A
f"w fOurth-inCh lines. forming d
pretty pattern. may be left inside as
loaded lines. Paste bright colored
tissue paper between each pair OF
shapes. Cut a ribbon of tissue paper
and run through the top opening and
tissue paper back on itself to farm a
loop by which to hang transparency
to the tree. When the light shines
through IL, the little ornament looks
like a hit OF stained glass with black
loaded lines.
NORTHWESTERN a piece of
cotton batting. Form into shape dc
sired. Cover with bright colorcd
crepe paper. Wind wire or cord
about the top to form stem.
STREAMERS-Long strips of nice
bright colored paper wound in mt
out through the branches give a very
pretty effect. The edges may be lut-
cd or fringed.
TURTLE SPICE LEGS-Tiny Tur-
tic Spice Legs. Eat me right away"
he bcgs. Take a large raisin and cut
the stem for tail. Stick in a whole
Glove at the other end for hand and
stick two cloves without the round
buds on each side for legs. Place the
legs slightly underneath and the head
up a little and the turtle will look as
II he travels at a funny gait.
RAISIN DUCKLING-Madc of one
large raisin for body and a small
raisin stuck on one end with a tooth
pick for a head. Tiny toothpick bill
and two toothpick feet. Stem of rails
in is his tail. A small bit of tooth
pick can be used for eyes.
SQUARE HANDLE FIG BASKET
Take a whole fig and press the two
ends together for the bottom of the
basket. Then round the sides and
make as deep as possible. Make the
sides OF handle of two toothpicks
tlickly strung with currants and
stick deeply on each side of basket.
String another toOthpick with cur
rants and attach to the two sides by
sticking the ends into the currants.
Fill with gumdrop flowers. Use the
small artificial leaves az in oackaee)
end make stems of fine green wire
run through the gumdrops and twist
cd into q loop at the pointed ends.
Use different lengths for stems and
different colors of candies for flowers.
These are then put into fig-basket.

Many Of these primary products have been adapted
to meet different conditions so that in reality this
Company produces hundreds Of products from =

This we interpret AZ a major service.
The marketing Department Of the Standard Oil

MOVIE 1

"One Minute" featuring Douglas Mclean, which was shown at the Elm press theater Saturday night proved to be most pleasing picture.
 Douglas Mclean as drug clerk in small country town, has role that fits him to T, and many amusing in- cidents occur in his endeavor to outdo his competitor.
 This picture will be shown for the last time tonight.
 Dorothy Dalton has become known as the girl who can do anything, and in "A Romantic Adventures" the Paramount picture which comes to the Empress Theater tomorrow, she adds a difficult and beautiful fancy dance to her category of achieve ments. Those who recall her in the Parisian dance in "L'Apache" will re- member the remarkable performance she gave and the dance in "A Ro- mantle Adventures" repeats that sue cess.
 Miss Dalton has the role of Alice vanni, daughter of an old dancing pro- lessor of New Orleans who, when her father dies, goes to New York and is exploited by her mother and only finds out the true situation in time to marry the man she loves. The pro- duction was adapted by Rosina Henley from "A Winter City Favorite" by Charles Belmont Davis. Charles Meredith heads a supporting cast, which is enhanced by such players as Robert Schable, Augusta Ander- son and Howard Lang.

When told that the bank would not open an account for less than 25,000 pesos he smiled and called Chinese "caragdor," or porter. Into this mans two huge baskets the old Chi nese merchant empted a portion of his valued treasure-ba1es of money of $5,000 each-and merchant and porter went to the bank.
 The money poured over the count CT. It totaled more than a quarter of a million in gold! The banker was taken quite off his feet. The old Chinese rubbed his hands and laughed uproariously-for the Chinese have keen sense of humor.
 "Why, L., if you cannot read and write, how is it you are able to avoid losses in your business and how do you know you stand in your accounts?" he was asked.
 His shrewd eyes sparkled as he replied, in crude Spanish:
 "WeI, I myself am the buyer, l myself am the seller, I myself am the cashier, I myself am the col lector and I myself am the owner. How can the money get away? It cannot!"
