TO AID FARMERS
President Coolidge Seeks Complete
Cooperation to Save Wheat
Districts.

Washington. President Coolidge
in an address prepared for the open
ing today of the special conference on
northwestern agriculture outlined def
mite proposals for government assist
ance of wheat farmers.
Direct extension of federal funds,
as proposed in the pending Norbeck-
Burtness bill to finance wheat grow
ers in attempting Investigation of
their crops and continuance of adj
vances through the war finance cor
poration to cooperative enterprises
and financial institutions in the farm
ing regions, were the methods sug-
gested.
Without cooperation between state,
local and federal governments, he
warned, help could not be made eff
fective. Likewise he added, creditors
of northwestern farming communities
must take concerted action for the re-
funding and extension of existing in
debtedness to make the federal aid eff
fective. The conference which is be-
ing attended by representatives of in
dustry, finance and transportation as
we'll as agriculture included many
leaders, he said, who could work out
the program necessary.

IN HOT WATER
MONDAY MORNING
]. ZaIatuka Gets in TrOu-
BILE With His Wife on
Wash Day.
AND A BLIZZARD TOO

Mistforunes never come singly, as
J John Zalatuka, 665 Garden street,
learned early this morning. First Of
all it was wash-day, and to follow the
old rule there should be a boiler of
hot clothes on at nine o'clock and
a kettle of soup cooking on the stove
for dinner.
But outside the wind howled and the
snow-fakes flew and the weather was
so bad, that Zalatuka thought they
might as we'll have bad weather in
doors as outdoors and spoil the wash
days, chances all round. So he pro-
ceeded to make lit blue Monday
with vengeance.
Zalatuka, who owns the Ideal race
track inn at Russell, then, according
to his wife, began to treat her in a
way that was far from ideal. He kick
ed her and mauled her about the
kitchen of their home on Garden
street, said said. After little ses-
sion of this kind, Mrs. Zalatuka sum-
moned the paddy-wagon. zalatuka
was given ride.
He arrived in the police Office with
his tie crooked and no smile. He
looked as if it were indeed a blue
Monday and as if everything had gone
wrong at home. Zalatuka appeared to
be extremely aggrieved with his wife
and said he could not imagine why
she had had him arrested
81 can't imagine what's the matter
with Sophia" he said as the police Of
ficer led the way "down stairs"
He will be arraigned in the munich
pal court some time this afternoon.
