was of the opinion that the state
would not cooperate and condition
could be presented to the people OF
the state before election. Governor
Moore fatty charged Mr.. Samuels
with distortion of facts, saying,
Bids for coal for state institutions
were held open tor 80 days and then
provision was made to go out and
purchase coal from the Teton mine
IL it could be delivered"
"Mr. Samuels failed to meet re-
quirements, said Governor Moore.
He failed either through desire to
play his mine up for political pur-
poses, or because he could not meet
the obligation he would assume.
IF the state had depended upon
the Progressive candidates state
ments to furnish coal for institu-
tiOns, even If he furnished q bond or
our unfortunate wards
would have been In distress and we
would have had to go to other
sources for emergency supplies.

Live Stock Hints

Keep the pigs well supplied with
shade and fresh water.
-
Guard rails in the pig pen keep the
SOW from MASKING her young.
Sun and light make for sanitation
in the pig sty.
One of the most successful meth
DDS of curing sweet clover hay is to
allow the plants to wilt In the swath,
then windrow with "a side-delivery
rake and, a few hours later, place in
small upright cocks.
See that the pigs have a clean
trough for sour feed will cause diges-
tive troubles.
Provide shade and water for all
classes of live stock to prevent them
from suffering from the heat.
Keep the SOW and pigs in clean dry
quarters. Filthy quarters are respon-
sible for nearly all pig ailments.
The fattening of cattle on pasture
Is practice that has been increasing
each year for the past several years.

Lightning Safe Fences

If fence posts are of wood or cement,
to safeguard stock from lightning,
either put in steel fence post every
few rods or staple heavy fence wire
the entire length Of post in contact
with the fence wires so as to ground
them. Then, II lightning strikes the
fence, or a tree near the fence. the
death-dealing bolt will not follow far
along the fence and kill stock that
may have pushed against it In storm.
OF course, If the posts are of steel
playground the wires perfectly. Wire
fences fastened to buildings should be
grounded at the last post or two and
at buildings.

Lambs on Rape Pasture

Allow the lambs to pasture on rape
after the dew Is Off for one hour the
first day, two hours the second day,
three hours the third day, four hours
the fourth day and five hours the fifth
day. In the morning the lambs should
be on bluegrass pasture before being
placed ~on rape. Experience has shown
that 1t is best to allow lambs to Craze
In the afternoon on the rape and on
bluegrass pasture in the forenoon. A
saving Of the rape pasture is thereby
made.

REAL SENSATION
 PROMISED BY 'AL'
Says Oil Inquiry Has Been Bush
 League So Far

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., March 23. Testimony already given before the senate oil lease Investigating committee will pale into insignificance compared with the revelations of Al Jennings, former Oklahoma train robber, who passed through here tonight on his way to Washington to testify before that committee as to purported condolences he received from the late Jake Hamon of Oklahoma as to the alleged use of money the republican national conven- tion at Chicago in 1920.
 T cannot go into details now," Jennings said. "as I must not tell my story before I reach Washington, but have some disclosures for the Senate Investigating committee that I believe will prove something like a sensation. P
 "l made a speech at a meeting at Long Beach and l happened to men, tiOn something about the HamOn deal that led to questions, and before l knew it l was telling some of the in- side facts that had come to me through long acquaintance with Jake Hamon. did not tell all I knew by a long ways, but what l said got into print, and it was not long until Washington began to get interested. made up my mind to keep still then, as 1 felt that if l were summoned before the Sen ate committee, there was the place to tell what l knew and tell it in detail Sure enough, the subpoena came, and l am on my way to Washington with my story bottled up inside me-"

A subpoena for Underwood, sent to Palm Beach, Fla, was returned unserved. Under. wood has been named by witnesses as haYing received thousands of dollars in both the fight film and whisky deals"
 GreshOn Waiting
 There may be a brief diversion to- morrow from testimony on film, whis- ky and other affairs for development of the alleged participation by Ameri- ican oil interests in Mexican revolu- tiOnary affairs. A former department of justice agent, named Greshon, has been waiting here to testify on that subject.
 So many witnesses are awaiting their turn before the committee that some congestion has developed. Gaston B. Means, former department of justice agent, who furnished some of the major sensations of the hearings, has not finished his testimony, and Jap Muma, New York representative of the Mclean publishing interests, and an outstanding figure in testimony re- lating to fight films deals, is under sub- poena. Committee members, however, said tonight it was probable Muma may not take the stand because they believed it would not be desirable to thus grant him immunity from possible prosecution should the government de- eide to act in tha nattar

 BATTLE COAST
Mysterious Message Has Not
 Yet Been Traced

NORFOLK, Va, March 23.-Wire- less operators today were baffled by the mysterious SOS calls flashed out Saturday night on a low wave length apparently from a ship in distress some where off the Atlantic coast between Hatteras and New York. Fragments of the distress calls picked up at naval communication stations could not be de- ciphered nor could clear communicat tions with the disabled craft be established.
 Emergency wireless equipment evi- dently was used. The explanation was suggested that the ships engine room had been flooded. cutting off the power that operated the regular apparatus, forcing the operator to resort to the emergency equipment in an effort to summon aid.
 Traffic, ordered cleared by the New York Communication Station in an eff fort to establish connections with the sender of the message, was ordered re- stunned at 1 80 this morning and all ships were instructed to keep sharp lookout for an sos metre call on a low "C. W" current.

MOVIE DIRECTORS
 CRAZY, SAYS ONE
Day Of Bigger AnC Smaller
 Pictures Here, He Declares

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March B. Film producers are crazy" the day of bigger and better buncombe pictures is past and the whole motion picture business is gamble.
 These are the opin vns of Abraham Lehr, dictator of a big studios des- tiny, who seldom breaks into the un. ceasing flow of publicity emanating from Hollywood upon a surfeited world
 No film producer is normal-he must be a nut or he wouldn't take the chances which he must take every time he puts a picture into produc- tion. If he were normal he would buy bonds or real estate or jewels" Lehr says.
 "We aren't getting the pictures quite as they should be, even with all our trying" Lehr says in explaining that he is trying to get more than the pres snt 20,0OO,000 persons a year to at tend the movies"
 It's all a gamble to Iehr; he cannot tell what will please the public, and he spends a lot of time -,yondering by what method he can increase the aver age theatre attendance.
 Don't invite. your guests to a luncheon and then serve them ban quet menu" Lehr advises.
 Simplicity, brains and imagination are essentials for the coming year of pictures. You cant fool the public with weak story yelled in a massive spectacle.
 "NNe have had bigger and better pie tures,' fewer and better pictures,' and now believe that the next endeavor of the films must be to make what might call bigger and smaller pictures. Motion pictures can go no farther in lavish sets, costly costumery and expensive mob scenes. The next step is pictures smaller in cast and mounting and bigger in drama, story and reality"

HALF A BILLION BUSINESS JUMP
 BY U. $. STEEL
Net Earnings. For Year 1923 Total $179,-
 646,674

NEW YohK, March 23,-The vol. ume of business done by the United States Steel corporation and it's sub sidiaries in 1923 totaled $1,571. All, 4S3 nearly half billion dollars more than the year before, the annual report re- vealed today. Earnings amounted to SITS, ,G46,674, after deducting expenses taxes and interest, and net income was $12S,176,519. ~
 .'In point of total tonnage output oi materials produced for sale" the report said, the year 1923 has been exceeded in only two previuos years, 1916 and 1917. As a result of these larger op- erations, together with improved sell. ing prices,. the earnings for the year show a substantial increase over those of the preceding two years"
 In effecting the change in working hours, the report stated, the 12-hour turn had been eliminated by December in all subsidiary companies except one, which was not completed until Febru- ary, 1924, owing to shortage of skilled labor. The number of additional em- ployes required to carry out the plan of putting the workers on continuous processes on an eight-hour day and all others on 10-hour day, was 17,117, m increase of more than 10 per cent. The average number of employees during the year was 260,7S with.a total pay roll of $469 9,5O2. .634, compared with 214,931, in 1922, and pay roll of $S22, ,67S, ,130.
 "Of the increase in total pay roll re- sulting from this change" continued the report, approximately 60 per lcent arises from employment of additional men and 40 per cent from increased wage allowances to employees whose hours of service were not changed, be- ing those who already were working 10 hours or less per day"
 Pensions were granted last year to 576 retiring employees, who now total 4,O54. Since 1911 pensions aggre- gated $9,543, ,235. Disbursements for work accidents were $4,S43,172, and at the close of the year employees had been advanced or loaned $7,975,O91 on contracts or mortgages to assist them in acquiring homes under the corpora tion'S hOme-OWning plan

s. DAKOTA NEXT
 ARENA OF t. Q. p.
Interesting Contest Also Looms For Democrats
 Out There

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., March 23.- Just one week after their battle of ballots" in North Dakota. President Coolidge and Senator Hiram Johnson of California will contest in the re- publican presidential preference pri- mary in South Dakota on Tuesday.
 This time there will be no third entry in the race, as was furnished by the sticker campaign for Senator Rob- ert NJ. LaFollette in North Dakota.
 Customary confidence prevails in the rival camps, but outside of those quarters there has grown an apparent belief among newspapers of the state that the finish will be exceptionally close.
 While major interest attaches to the republican presidential endorsement, the democratic field will witness a con test hardly less intense, delegate-candi- dates pledged to William G. McAdoO being opposed by a fusion unin- structed ticket, avowedly antiEMcAdoo.
 Democratic and farmer-labor minor ity groups compose this fusionist fol lowing.
 Under the South Dakota primary law, there may be filed on each ticket ma jority, minority and independent candidates. The majority candidates carry the indorsement of the state pro- posal conventions, which were held in December.
 Johnson Independent
 Thus President Coolidge, with the state convention indorsement, is the ma aiority presidential candidate on the s.I, son is in the independent column.
 Gov, w. H. Master is the majority republican candidate for the United States senatorial nomination. OppOs- ing him is Senator Thomas Sterling, filed in the minority column. ! On the democratic ticket the sena- torial candidates are U. $. G. Cherry, ma jority column, and Mark P. Bates, minority, who also is the farmer-labor senatorial candidate.
 Extensive oratorical efforts have marked the campaign. Senator John son ended a weeks tour of the state at Yankton last night, while Leslie NJ. Shaw, formerly secretary of the treas ury, closed a pro-Coolidge speaking tour at Mitchell. |
 House Cleaning Urged
 Oil and its many ramificatiOns, as brought out in the congressional Tea pot Dome inquiry, figured largely in attacks against the Coolidge adminis- tration by Senator Johnson, who urged "a house cleaning" in the national capital.
 Mir. Shaw defended the oil leases as beneficial to the government, also going into the part Coolidge is taking in the present investigation.
 In another manner oil was used by McMaster supporters to urge his candi- dacy. adherents pointing to his ''price war" on gasoline selling companies, launched in South Dakota last August and which spread to many other states with results, in many cases, advantage ous to motorists.

BONUS FAVORED
 BY COL. LINDSLEY
Former Legion Head Asks Veterans To Oppose Flu
 ture Pension Schemes
NAL DAUGHERTY

NEW YORK. March 23.-Final pas sage of the soldiers compensation bill should be made the occasion of a definite opposition by war veterans against 'any and all pension schemes, certain to be brought to the front in the years ahead" declares Col. ISnry D. Lindsley, past national commander of the American Legion, in state ment indorsing the bill just passed by the House of Representatives.
 Colonle Lindsley cites this point as one Of the principal reasons for favor ing the bonus measure as passed by the House. He denies that the compensa- tiOn bill will exert an adverse economic effect upon the nation, declaring that because of the comparatively small gov ernmental outlay involved, the meas ure will have no real effect upon the nations business, either good or bad. He remarks, also, that business will continue to be affected by agitation for an adjusted compensation law until such a law is passed by Congress.
 Pointing out that the bill calls for an expenditure of approximately $100,- 100000 annually for 20 years, Colonel Lindsley asserts this sum can only be considered in comparison with other items in the federal budget. He adds
 Tn the proposed budget of 1924, the department of the interior is allotted over $321 100000. If this amount were increased to $421, 100000, would anyone predict disaster to the coun- try? The war department and the navy department each expect to spend approximately as much as the depart ment of the interior, the treasury de- pertinent is granted more than $250,- 100000. An increase of $100,000, ,00O in the expenditure of either of the de. partments, or divided between them would not be accounted a national dis. aster, nor thought for moment oc' casion for business distrust.
 ''The total ordinary expenditures of the national government amount to ap proximately $3,5OO,OOO,0OO. In com parison with this, $1OO,O0OOOO is q relatively small sum-

 MAN FROM TRIAL
Little Rock Miller Faces Stolen
 Property Charge

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March 23.- Oak Rhodes, of Stuttgartt, former pres ident of the Stuttgartt Rice Milling company. who was scheduled to appear before Judge George W. Clark in Lo. noke Circuit court tomorrow morning to stand trial on a charge of receiv- ing stolen property, will be unable to appear for trial. MT. Rhodes is in the hospital here, recovering after an opera tion for appendicitis, performed Satur- day morning, and it will be impossible for him to leave the hospital for some time, attendants said tonight.
 Attorneys for Mir. Rhodes will ap- pear and ask for a continuance. The case is to be tried at Lonoke, on change of venue from Arkansas county, where interest in the case long has been in tense. Rice affairs" in that county several times threatened to cause vio- lence, and at one time were given as the underlying cause for an attack upon a Stuttgart printing establishment, dur ing which two men were beaten sound ly.
 The charges against Rhodes grew out of alleged thefts from the Arkansas Rice Growers Cooperatice association at Dewitt.
