Growing More Corn
Farmers are growing more corn
each year, and those who couple OF
years ago had only one or two brood
sows, this year have from Is to 20,
and one farmer with whom Randall
talked has 40 sows.
In 1922 there were only 325 car
loads of hogs shipped over the Mil
waukee from this territory, while the
year 1928 saw $50 cars of hogs ship
ped out. The farmers are all in bet
ter condition, and while cash is scarce
the farmers have been progressing
financially, have been paying the in
terest on their loans and most of
them have paid part of the princi-
pal the last year.
The flax acreage will be increased
this year and some will be planted on
old ground
During the winter of 1922 some of
the farmers were disheartened and
many seemed not to care whether
they had any credit left or not, but
this winter this attitude has com
pletely changed, and the farmers are
now anxious to improve their credit.
are paying off their indebtedness,
and are turning to farm livestock
and poultry as the best means of do
ing it, having found by their own ex-
perience that business methods are
needed in farming as in any other
lines of industry.

vice, trebi barley has well upheld the
records established in experiment
station and other farm tests. One
of the demonstrators of trebi barley
in Cascade county, r. A. Brookings,
planted test plot of two and three
quarters acres to registered trebi bar
ley at the rate of IS pounds to the
acre. Records of the work show the
seed was planted June and plants
came up June IL. The field received

was $50 bushels, or a per acre yield
of 54.5 bushels. The straw was 80

tor of registered trebi, planted four

These demonstrations, while not
in themselves, are in ac-
ordance with other results obtained
n this and other states and but add
to the opinion that trebi is
ne of the big finds in the plant
Torld during recent years.
The history of trebi barley is in
not only for itself but be-
ause it is typical of the history of :
lany other superior plants that have ;
cen introduced into the farming
ystems of this country. Trebi was
ltroduced into this country from
amsoun, Asiatic Turkey, by the
nited States department of agricul-
Ire in 1905. 1t was grown first in
cooperation with the Minnesota Ex-
station in 1909. The tests
that time indicated that trebi

 The wedding was made picturesque by the presence in the bridal party of Miss Thillayampalam of Columbia uni versity and Lucknow, India, and Miss Haien Tren Giang of Vassar, 1925, and Nanchang, China. Both wore native costumes, the former in a saree of or enid yellow and the latter in a Chinese coat of jade green.

 NEW YORK, June 1S.-A candidate is only candidate, but stylish hats chapeau. G
 Thus the women delegates and wives of delegates at the >dem0cratic convcn- tion will reason when deciding between attending sessions or going shopping. Next week the democratic conclave here will see the largest assemblage of wom- en ever known at the gathering of one major party, and the most complete assortment of gowns and frocks, hats and shoes, laces and lingerie, is ready for their scrutiny.
 I went on an expedition today to ex- plore the scenes of the women's most important activities. All up and down Fifth avenue, and into those alluring little side street shops famous for their obscure charms, I wandered.
 Inspect Prices
 Primarily, I wanted to discover whether or not prices are being boosted in anticipation of the assemblage of the nations representative democrats, and l can safely report that they are not. In fact, in some of the more exclu- sive shops, they, do not know there is to be a convention, and it is even ques- 1 tionable whether or not the buyers know what conventions are. In one estab- | lishment, where immediately was over whelmed by Follies favorite in very blonde unbobbed hNtr4 and patou frock and a uniformed maid to hold my old hat and gloves, the buyer yawned that our better models have all been sent i to Rhode Island to our summer shop.
 Your correspondent informed any number of people about the convention Consequently, the convention shoppers will have to be cautious, for the prices may be padded evea at this late date If they show you ssimple little sport model anywhere over $1S0, you can be certain they are profiteering.
 ] A Wide Hunt
 Women active at conventions had best make use of the information bureaus all the candidates headquarters and differ ent hospitality committees will estab- fish. Otherwise they will waste a great I deal of time leaving the Waldorf where affairs will center and looking in the wrong shops. 1 did that. 1 went about 10 blocks before 1 found anything real ly expensive.
 Hats in New York, everywhere, ex' cept in shops where the labels are the l thing, can be had almost as souvenirs They are decidedly cheap. From $5 to $15 one can procure the sweetest models. White hats and black and white hats are the favorites, in felt ribbon and horsehair. Chapeaux with painted flowers on them are in vogue Tiny hats or very wide ones are most popular.
 In the little shops between Fifth ave nue and Broadway, you can really get

fits prerogative in defining by legisla- ton the control of immigration in- stead of leaving it to international ar engagements.
 Tt is not understood that this pre- rogative is called in question, but rather, your government expressly rec ognizes that it lies within the inherent sovereign power of each state to limit and control immigration to it's own do- mains and authority which it is be- lieyed the Japanese government has not failed to exercise in it's own dis cretion with respect to the admission of aliens and the conditions and To- cation of their settlement within its borders" Secretary Hughes note con- tinues.
 It is at this point that the secre- tary, after noting that the President would have preferred to continue the existing arrangement" with Japan with such notifications as seemed desirable, asserts:
 Feels No Limit
 This government does not feel that it is limited to such an international arrangement or that by virtue of the existing understanding (the Gentlemen s ARreemeUI), UT Ol lHe HeSOLldtIOuS lb has conducted in the past with the Japanese government, it has in any sense lost or impaired the full liberty of action which it would otherwise have in this matter. On the contrary, that freedom with respect to the control of immigra tion, which is an essential ele- ment of sovereignty and entirely compatible with the friendly sentiments which animate our international rela- tions, this government in the course of these negotiations always fully re- served"
 The note then quotes the clause from Article II of the commercial treaty of 1894 with Japan which stipulated spe- officially the reservation of the right to control the immigration of labor ers' by law. It adds that when the new commercial treaty of 1911 was un- der negotiatio this clause was elimi- mated at the instance of the Japanes

PREDICTS LIBERAL TINGE
 FOR PLATFORM
Will Be No Need For La Toilette, Says The
 COmmOner

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, June IS. William Jennings Bryan, who is ex- pected to be member of the democrat ic national convention platform com mittee, gave utterance to a liberal war cry Wednesday, which will sound again next week as the Commoner and his followers struggle to point the party gathering in the direction in which they believe it should go.
 So liberal will be the democratic plat form, Bryan believes, that it will rem der the candidacy of Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette unnecessary. Barring unexpected developments in the inter national situation, Bryan said, the 1924 presidential election will hinge upon economic issues.
 Tho Tax Measure
 Not the least of the economic issues, according to Bryan, will be the tax measure, which he described as a demo- cratic measure, worthy of praise be- cause it provides greater tax relief than would have been achieved by the en- actment of the Mellon plan.
 Injecting bit of criticism into his platform predictions, Bryan said that the republican policy of collecting large campaign contributions and paying them back with special privileges or immunity from punishment had been brought to light with the oil exposures, and forecasted an acute reaction in the nature of a popular demand for infor- nation about campaign contributions, their source and purpose.
 Farmer In Bad Way
 "The condition of the farmer is de plorable," Bryan said, ''the worst in a quarter of a century. It is going to have an important bearing on the cam paign."
 The unit rule and the two-thirds rule under which democratic conventions have operated heretofore are not agree able to the commoner. Under them, he said, the four big states, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio, with just more than one-third of the dele gates, are enabled to control the con- vention.
 Declaring that the republican party had conniyed in profiteering. Bryan de clared that the democratic platform would deal effectively with the plat form

STATE RESTS CASE.
 AGAINST M'DOWELL
Broadway Lure Prompted Mur- der, Prosecution Would Prove

CLEARWAFER, Fla, June 18.-The state Wednesday completed it's presenta- ton of testimony in the second trial of Frank McDowell on the charge of murs dering his mother and defense prepared to begin argument.
 A determined effort was made by the prosecution to disprove the defense plea of insanity.
 NJ. J. Kelly of St. Petersburg, for merly a grocer, testified that the 20 year-old slayer of his mother, father and two sisters had on more than one oc- casion discussed with him his mabition to go abroad and later maintain bach elor apartment on Broadway.
 Mcdowell, Kelly said, had often com plained of the lack of funds which pre- vented him carrying out his plan.
 McDowelPs desire to get possession of insurance carried by his father and thus realize his ambitions prompted the shooting of his parents as they slept, prosecution asserted
 McDowell's confession of all four mur- ders was read into the records Wednes- day.
 Dr. E. T. Poulson, pastor of the First Baptist church, St. Petersburg, testi. fled that from conversations on religious subjects held with the youth, McDowell appeared not to be a religious fanatic

government because of the existence of the Gentlemen's Agreement of 19O7-'S, by which Japan undertook, on her own motion, to restrict such emigration to the United States.
 Reference also is made to memoranda exchanged between the Japanese em- bassy and the state department dated October 19, 1910, and January 23, 1911, in which the state department acquiesced in the Japanese suggestion for elimination of the clause under dis cussion but with the stipulation that "the government of the United States does so with all necessary reserves and without prejudice to the inherent sovereign right of either country to limit and control immigration to its own domains or possession"
 On February s, 1911, the embassy replied in a memorandum which stated that the Imperial government concur in the understanding of the proposal relating to the question of immigrat ton set forth in the above mentioned note of January g, last"
 "A Distinct Understanding"
 Secretary Hughes note points out that this correspondence constituted a distinct understanding" between the two governments of the right of each to control immigration and adds that the advisability of dealing with the question by legislative enactment "nec- essarily remains with the legislative power of this government to determine" :" power which Congress now has exer- cised.
 The note advises the Japanese gov ernment that since the exclusion pro- vision takes effect July 1, 1924, the Washington government must consider the government of Japan as released from any further obligation under the Gentlemen's Agreement as from that date.
 It concludes with the assertion that recognition of the right of each gov ernment to legislate in control of i'm migration should not derogate in any degree from the mutual good will and cordial friendship which have al- ways characterized the relations of the two countries"

EGAN'S RATS
 PLANNED HOLDUP
(Continued from page one.)

(COntLnucu ITOm pdS0 OhC'J was issued today, charging conspiracy | in the robbery.
 An official statement placed the loot obtained by the robbers at $2,O00O0O in securities and $75,000 in cash. The bandits gathered here on the day of the robbery and during the aft ernoon they obtained two automobiles, both stolen, according to the inspectors. and all but Willis Newton and Grant went in these two cars to the scene of the robbery at Rondout, H., 32 miles north of Chicago.
 Willis Newton and Grant donned overalls and boarded the St. Paul mail train, riding blind baggage between the tender and first mail car until they reached Rondout then they crawled into the engine cab and, pointing pls- tols at the engineer and fireman, or dered the engineer to stop the train when he approached a wide cement road. It was at this point that their confederates were waiting.
 Agreed To Stop
 The train crew agreed to stop if they were unharmed. When the train was stopped, Willis Newton and Grant forced the fireman and engineer to walk back the length of the train while their companions. swarmed about the mail cars. One of the train crew pointed out that it was dangerous to al low the train to stand without putting flagmen out and the bandits agreed and ordered one member of the crew back.
 The mail clerks refused to open the doors of their cars, the postal inspector continued, so the train robbers threw bottles containing formaldehyde into the cars except the one they believed contained registered mail and forced the clerks out. When the mail clerks nearly suffocated, crawled from their cars, the bandits entered the car con taining registered mail and picked out the pouches by choosing only those with brass locks, they having been in formed that registered pouches were always thus fastened.
 While they were bombing the car! Willie Newton, alias Wayne, walked back along the train to see what wa! transpiring and as he came back Grant who had not missed him, saw him anC fired five shots each taking effect. A few minutes later mail clerk remark ed that he heard a man grooming anC Willis Newton went to investigate anC found his brother wounded.
 The wounded man was hustled into one of the automobiles with some o his companions and brought to Chicago and hidden in a garage for a day, ther taken to McComb's flat where he was arrested with his brothers. Fontano Grant and Wilcox departed in the sec ond automobile with the 61 stolen mai pouches and proceeded to a point neal Joliet where they rifled the mail pouch es and discarded them and the automo bile.
 Postal inspectors said the bandits had arranged to meet in an East St Louis saloon last Monday and divide the loot This meeting did not take place and another was arranged for last night at the same place but the saloon was watched and none of the suspects showed up.
