placed in some other section Of the
country, was made by N. II. Ballard,
state superintendent of schools, Mon

in Georgia. Mr.. Ballard added.
Superintendent Ballard said the

members Of the Georgia bo..rd by
Supervisor Davis, of the general
education board, who is scheduled to
arrive Tuesday on an inspection trip.
The information brought back by
Mr.. Ballard was said by him to
mean that the controversy, which
has ragged for several weeks, has
been ended. Mr.. Ballard said he
and not the state board of educa-
ton was empowered to administer
the fund, and he took the position
that this was the only point in

In discussing that angle Monday,
Mr.. Ballard said:
Il was confident I was right. I
took the position that L was the
only authority who could admins

CAN|VER|ES GRANTED
INTERVENTION PLEA
IN BIC FIVE" CASES

WASHINGTON. June "A de-
cision that may have the effect of
re-opening the whole field of litiga-
ton involved in the big five packers
consent decree case was handed
down today by the District of Co
lumbia court of appeals. Reversing
a lower court ruling, the court of
appeals upheld the right of the Cali
fornia Cooperative Canneries to in
tervene in the case.
Under the consent decree, entered
into between the packers and At
torney General Palmer in 1920, the
packing companies were to ~divest
themselves Of various collateral prop
critics, including their stockyards and
grocery distribution agencies. The
California Canneries, in asking to be
heard, declared they were vitality in
terested because Armour q Co. had
contracted with them to market %
per cent of their entire output. IF
the decree were permitted to stand,
the business Of the canneries, they
insist, would be materially injured.
Recently, while the case was in the
court of appeals, the Armour and
Swift concerns also attacked the va
lidity of the decree, alleging it had
been entered into without authority,
and declaring the federal govern
ment. in a brief filed by Attorney
General Daugherty, had wrongly in
ferred that the very existence of the
consent agreement indicated that
therefore there had been evidence Of
antitrust violations by the packers.
The effect of today's ruling will be
to send the case back to the federal
district court with an order that the
plea of the canneries be admitted to
considerati ton in any decision as to
the validity Of the decree.

Robert Franks. hid the body under
a railroad culvert on the outskirts

HUGHES RECEIVES
NOTE FROM TOXIC;
MAKES No REPLY
Nippon Charges Discrimina-
ton and Violation of Gen.
Iemen'S Agreement

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Japan's
'"solemn protest against the exclu-
\ sion section Of the ev immigration
paw was formally made public at the
Atste. department. without comment.
WodplcI with the protest is the re-
Quest OF the Japanese government
shat the American government take
all possible and suitable measures"
for removal of discrimination"
The communication declares inter.
national Determinations are parsic-
ularly "unwelcome'' when "based on
race and adds that discrimination Of
that character is expressed in the eX-
clusion statute.
The history of commercial agree
ments between the two countries, it
is declared, shows that the Japanese
government has sought to protect its
nationals from discriminatory immi-
grafton legislation in the United
States" which. position was fully
understood and appreciated by the
American government
1.-THE Japanese government desire
now to point OUT says the note,
that the new legislation is in entire
disregard Of the spirit and circum-
stances that underlie the conclusion
of the treaty G91D."
1t is added that the provisions of
the new law shave made it impos-
sible for japanese to continue the
undertakings assumed under the gen.
tlemens agreement"
"The patient, loyal and scrupulous
observance by Japan for more than
sixteen years, of these self denying
regulations in he interest Of good
relations between the two countries,
now seems to have been wasted"
the protest continues.
Hanihara's Statement
At the end, Ambassador Hanihara
appended the following photographic:
II am instructed further to express
the confidence that this communities
ton will be received by the Amer1-
can government in the same spirit
of friendliness and candor in which
it is made"
Despite the silence of administra
ton officials, it can be said definite
ly that the state department is in
position to challenge, in its repl?,
the Japanese contention that the eX-
clusion act can be construed as q
particular discrimination against
Japan, and also to take the position
that the negotiat tons leading up to
the commercial treaty of 1911 in no
way justified an assumption that the
United States was willin" to limit
it's complete freedom to deal with
immigration questions as it sees fit.
In that respect, it is understood
that the correspondence between the
two governments. incidental to nego-
tiation of the treaty shows the spe-
cific reservation by the United States
OF immigration matters from the
scope of the treaty.
The Japanese argument as to ra-
cial discrimination, is not regarded
here as borne out by the language
of the exclusion clause itself. The
clause excludes all races not eligible
to American citizenship.
The Japanese protest does ct
make it clear whether the Toxic gov
eminent intends it's language with
respect to the gentlemen's agree
ment to mean that it already has
abandoned that undertaking in adj
vance of July /, next, the date when
the exclusion clause becomes effec-
tive,

COMMISSION LETTERS
Clerk Town Wood River
Burnett County, Wis.
Mr.. Verne Richards,

Mr. Verne Richards,
Dear Sir:-To answer you on the
above question is very difficult We
have had this Commission only since
July, so it is very new. But I think.
it will work out better to have men
come together once month, then to
have % come together once a year
Now it depends on much what kind
men you get in for commissioners
But three will be more careful what
they do more so than 3d. I remembe.
last fall a year ago the board held
two evening sessions of Is minute
each, and called it a day<service. $40
times % was $4,000. When they could
have done that work in the day SEES
sion Just grating. | don't no if thi
comes any cheaper then the old sys
tenn but it can't come very much more
Our county is not right, divided in
regard to districts, but the old county
board divided according to their wish
and is therefore not according to pop
ulation
The county has been divided into so
many towns with no population ard
very little valuation. Town of Wood
River has a population of 1866 valua-
ton $1,194,355.OO; Town of Web Lake,
"a population, valuation $133, 10000.
Now the chairman from Wood River
has one vote on the county board, and
the chairman from Web Lake has one.
Do you consider that fair representa-
ton?
The North east corner Of the county
was divided up in such towns so they
got the majority vote from the county
board and done just what they pleased
This making SO many small towns
was done by long sighted rulers so as
to get an upper hand and rule. The
southeast corner of the county is
where the valuation and population
so it was 4 chairman to IS.
and I believe it is has just as big a
population and valuation in those 4
towns as it is in the Is together. So
you see our position is that we had to
do something to do away with all of
them
Yours for better and honest men
Town clerk of Wood River.

THE WAY TO OPEN A CAN

The correct method of opening a tin
can is little known or practiced. Even
so simple tool as the can-opener is
not used to its best advantage in the
average household. A recent issue of
The Progressive Grocer suggests a
simple way of so opening the can as
to leave a smooth edge.
To open can properly, first remove
the label and lay the can on it's side
with the seam up. Insert the can-open
er directly next to the seam and just
near enough to the top to allow free
operation of the, opener. After the
opener is inserted stand the can on
END and, holding it firmly, work the
opener away from the seam until you
have cut entirely around the can
1t is then possible to turn back tn
entire top and remove the contents.
The smooth edeg left by opening the
can in the above manner makes the
mptied can desirable for sundry uses
about the house or garage, or the cans
may be saved until Spring and used
for starting tomato plants and such
things.

SUDAN GRASS WILL
DRIVE OUT QUACK

Quack grass has lost its terror to
many Southern Wisconsin farmers.
They are practicing a system of eradi-
cation which they say whips this weeu
to fragile.
Back in the spring of 1919 Walter
Nichols, of Walworth, awoke to the
fact that he must either get his quack
grass or it would get him. E[e had
heard that Sudan grass would smoth-
er out this pest, and he was ready
to try anything. A twelye-acre field
which he was then blowing for oats
was about the worst infested on the
farm, and across the center of this
he left a three-acre strip for the trial.
Nothing more was done to the three
acres until the first week in June
when it was disked and narrowed into
perfect seed bed, and twenty-five
pounds Of Sudan seed to, the acre
were sown.
The first cutting of Sudan was made
shortly after heading out, and vie "a
three tons of hay to the acre. A Sec
ond growth that would have cut
another ton and a half was pastured
down. In the fall it could be seen to
line where the Sudan grass had been
Not live spear of quack grass remain
ed, but on each side in the oat stubble
it was as luxuriant as ever.
Since this experience of Mr.. Mich
OILS other farmers of this section have
adopted this method of killing quack
grass, in most seasons meeting with
equally good success. They have
found however, that by blowing late
in the fall or in the early spring and
then disking or narrowing every ten
days from early spring until seeding,
date, complete eradication is. surer,
as this cultivation in advance greatly
weakens the quack-grass growth.
Occasionally farmer made the mis-
take of sowing Sudan too early, and
was disappointed with the results, due
to the fact that Sdan is a warm-weath
er crop and will not start rapidly
enough while the soil and air are still
cool. The date of sowing which has
proven most effective is from ten to
twenty days after corn planting. If
the seed bed is extremely dry and
loose, rolling the land hastens germin
alton. Just as effective control results
when the second crop is made into
hay as when pastured.

Hear Name of Ford Again
One can even hear again the name
of Henry Ford in connection with the
Democratic nomination. OF course,
bosses Murphy, Taggart and Brennan
will have much to say about that.
But nevertheless one still hears the
name of Ford in this connection. Some
of the Ford supporters here claim that
the oil investigation exposures, coming
since his endorsement of Coolidge,
makes it easily possible for him to
say his faith was misplaced and that
the odor of oil changed the entire com
plexion of things.
Colonel Bryan will be among those

from. His opposition to Underwood in
the South has caused him to go on
