Try to Split Farm
Implement Trust r
Into Three Pieces

Action to split the $3.50, 900, 900
International Harvester Company OF
Chicago, into at least three indepen-
dent parts was under way here today
by the government.
Failure of the company to restore
competition in the agricultural i'm
plement industry, as agreed upon five
years ago in hearings in st. Paul,
decided renewal of dissolution efforts.
Violation of the antitrust law is
charged by the government. The
principal aim of the government is
to separate the Mccormick and Deer
ing properties, Abram f. Myers,
special assistant United States At
torney-General in charge Of the
prosecution, declared.

Strike in Linseed
Mills When Bosses
Demand More Work

SUPERIOR, Wis, Feb. 1.-THE
first strike for several years in a
Superior shop or factory, excepting
the railway shopmen's strike, is in
progress here at the linseed crush
ing mill Of Kellogg, Spencer e. Co.,
firm with branches in many cities.
The cause of the walkout was tho
company's attempt to force each crew
Of three men to handle nine presses
where they formerly handled eight.
The strike was general, altho the
men are not affiliated with any union.
None Of those who quit have re-
turned, but the company officials re-
port that some presses are being OPP
Grated by inexperienced men.

the Wind The Wind was tell
ing the Rose-bush how he fights
against the people who are rich
and do not work.
The Wind lifted one Of his legs
high and pushed it with all his
weight against the magnificent
white house. The windows clat-
tered, many things in the house
were broken: a woman's voice
shrieked. The Wind laughed then
drew his leg back and said to the
Rose-bush: "You also can do some
thing, you flowers. Do not bloom
for the rich idlers, and the fruit
trees should not bear fruit. But
you are pleasure-loving and lazy
creatures. Look at the tulips that
stand up so sturdily all day, al

gr1mbled the insulted Wind, as he
broke off two handsome roses, and
blew them lightly, gently to the
children.
The children shouted joyfully, the
Wind flew AWAY, and the Rose-bush
enjoyed the happiness of the chill
dren. His enjoyment did not last
long. An angry voice scolded the
children, "What impudence is this,

II they had thrown over some nice
grass she would have thought that
nicer than the blue ribbon.
OF course she had had plenty to eat
there, but blue ribbon was SO silly

When she got back to the meadow
all the cows were much excited.

So Mrs. Cow sat down In the

and Mrs. Cow said:
1T was an enormous Fair. There
were lots of other cows there, TOO.
Splendid cows.
And there were pigs and sheep and

and pigeons and some fine bulls.
"Oh, 1t was a splendid Fair.
And l almost forgot to tell you.

well, bands played. or maybe 1t
was only one band. but they made such

1T all seemed very exciting after the
quiet life l lead here in the meadow.
Il really wouldn't like 1t all the
time. It's all right for a time" Mrs
Cow said decidedly, ito be at Fair
but it Is exhausting. and in short time
you long for home and the good old
ways at home and the quiet and all Of
that.
''Yes, they gave me blue ribbon

silly; but you know think people do

ing COW blue ribbon. What earthly
use is n blue ribbon to me?
II don't wear n ribbon in my hair

Il don't wear ribbon sash, as some

But, anyway, for such things, my

However, my master seemed

Grafton for only nine months and
three days before being pronounced
unconstitutional.
The second act was passed in 1919.
This time the objective was sought
through n tax of 10 per cent on the
net profits of establishments employ

standards. This law was In effect for
three years when 1t was declared un-
constitutional in 1922.
Advocates of the amendment real
lie the requirement of two-thirds
majority in each branch makes the
result somewhat in doubt. Many of
the Southern Democrats and some of
the Republicans are expected to fol-
low the minority on the judiciary
committee. which opposed the amend
