STOCKHOLM, February 24.-Hja1-
mar Branting, former premier, died
shortly after noon today.
Hjalmar Branting. the first Social
ist prime minister in the history of
Sweden, and one of the outstanding
public men of that country in his
time, was regarded by the Swedish
people as their country's most promi-
nent international politician.
DeYoting virtually his entire life
to the amelioration of the conditions
of the working classes and the at
tainment of the Social Democratic
dream of universal peace by univer-
sal understanding, DR.. Brantfng work
ed INCREASINGLY and with a fine opti-
mism for the realization of his ideals.
He spared himself no personal sacri-
fee. and even sat in prison for his
championship of the cause of those
whose caste and culture were inferior
to his own.
Three Times Premier.
DR.. Branting formed an entirely
Social Democratic administration
with himself as premier, in 1920. His
government remained in power. how
ever, only from March to October
when it resigned. AS result of the
Socialists victory in the elections in
the Fall of 1921 he was returned to
power. His government remained un-
til April, 1923, during which Branting
was both premier and foreign min
lister. 1t resigned after having been
defeated in the upper chamber on a
proposal by the government to dis
tribute doles among the unemployed
The succeeding ministry resigned in
October, 1924, because of divergent
views between it and Parliament on
the question of disarmament, and for
the third time DR.. Branting was
called to head the government.
During the World War DR.. Branting
was outspoken in his criticism OF
Germany, and in May, 1917, he made a

should be paid to preparing the
laboring masses for a future war,
especially with regard to aviation
and chemistry"
He urged the formation of Red
army clubs in every big center to
serve as headquarters for spread
ing military knowledge among the
population and preparing the peo-
pie for national defense.
while striving for the peaceful
economic establishment of our
country" he declared, I'VE must
at the same time remember our
military aims in order that in
case of necessity we can at the
shortest possible notice pass from
a peace footing to a military basis.

defense in order that the united
forces of world Imperialism shall

Our Gratitude.

The nation is going to have an
opportunity to show its gratitude
for the sacrifices that men made
for their country in the World
War.
The rehabilitation phase of the
United States Veterans Bureau
will end by congressional limita-
ton next June and the question of
finding place in society for TWEEN
ty-five thousand wounded veterans
will face the American people.
They have been rehabilitated and
made into productive and able cit
liens and now await a chance to
prove that they are ready to return
to some occupation for which they
have been specially trained.
The National Association of
Manufacturers is making a laud-
able attempt to aid them in finding
the jobs they are suited to fill. APP
peals are being made to members
Of the Association and state and
local industrial associations to
assist in the placement Of these
men.
The theory Of rehabilitation, to
be carried to successful conclusion,
needs the cooperation of everyone
able to help some wounded hero to
return in rightful position and be-
come a useful member of society.
Being in position to assist a re-
habilitated veteran and failing to
meet ones obligation in this re-
spect, would be little short of un-

EVIDENCE WAS BULKY
Took Five Trunks to Garry
Exhibits When Boundary
Dispute Was in Court.

1t took five trunks to bring the
exhibits in the Observation-Disclosures
boundary dispute to Superior Mon
day for the hearing which began
IN the afternoon before Mrs. Mar
garet Holt, Superior, special com
missioner for the United States SUI
preme court, and which will con-
tinue for day or two longer, says
the Superior Telegram. The hear
ings are being held at the Douglas
county court house and probably
viii be the last before all the testi-
mony and exhibits are turned over
to the high court for decision
Monday afternoon and Tuesday
morning were devoted to checking
over the some 500 odd exhibits con
sisting chiefly of old maps and
documents relating to one side or
the other Of the controversy. This
will be the principal to be con-
Quoted at this hearing and when it
has been completed the whole case
will be turned over to the supreme
court for action.
Representing Wisconsin at the
hearing is special counsel Robert
M. Reiser, Madison, former Super
Tor attorney. Special counsel for
Michigan is Alvin L. Sawyer, of
Michigan, assisted by Carl B. Mos
Ter.
The dispute involves the north
ern boundary of the state Of Wis
consin from Lake Superior to
Green Bay between the Montreal
river and Lac Vieux Desert and
several islands in Green Bay. Ex-
hibits in the case include maps
which date back to the early days
in both states in 1886, 1883, and
1910.
The basis of the dispute lies in
the difference in the boundaries as
set out in the acts of congress
passed when the two states were
formed, Wisconsin, August 6, 1916,
and Michigan, June Is, 1886. Michi-
gan claims that the Wisconsin act
of statehood was never ratified by
that state as specifically required
and that Wisconsin has never re-
ceived any grant Of the territory
involved in the issues in this case.

Normal Egg Production.

The Wisconsin farmer who is not
getting 145 eggs year from each
of his leghorn pullets is not get
ting all he can normally expect.
Fifteen years of study of poultry
data by Prof. A. G. Phillips has
convinced him that this figure is
as near normal egg production as
can be arrived at at this time.
Ordinarily September is the low
est month in point of egg produc-
ton and April the highest, said
Prof. Phillips who is one of the
leading poultry experts in America.
The following daily egg production
ne considers normal production
from a flock of 100 pullets for each
of the twelve months; October, 20;
November, 40; December, 80; Jan
uary, 35; February, As; March, 55;
April, IS; May, so; June, so; July,
40; August, 25, and September, Is.
And here is his explanation of
the figures:
"Pullets seldom lay every day
and all pullets do not lay at the
same time except possibly in the
spring. Pullets that do lay do not
all lay on the same day. In Octo-
Der many pullets will not COM
mence laying on the first of the
month, but the number will in
crease as the month goes on. We
consider 20 eggs a day the normal
average from this flock in October
November is usually a comfortable
month and the production will be
doubled and 40 eggs per day pro-
cured for that month. In Deem
Der we usually have a severe cold
snap which causes a material cut
in production. Therefore 80 eggs
per day is considered the normal
figure. January should average
around 35 eggs a day, and this
should jump to As in February be-
cause the approaching spring gen.
orally results in the pullets eating
more and therefore increasing pro
duction.
april is the high month of pro.

CANADIAN LABOR CHIEF
BACKS COOPERATION

For years organized labor in the
United States and Canada has been
convinced q the value Of cooperation,
The American Federation Of Labor
and the Railway Brotherhoods have
repeatedly gone on record for cooperd-
ton, while President Tom Moore Of
the Canadian Trades and Labor AS
aembly has just issued IN appeal from
the 100000 members Of his Organizes
ton to support the cooperative move
ment.
@There Is no surer MEANS" declares
President Moore, Tby which workers
can free themselves from expIoita-
ton Of huge combines, such IS the
bread trust, the canning trust and the
combines in the various wholesale
activities, than By actively participate
ing IN the cooperative movement.
During the recent dispute in Nova
Scotia the value Of the cooperative
movement WAS undeniably demonstrate
ed, providing, as it did, credit and re-
lief to thousands Of its members who
would otherwise have been destitute.
/ Press reports from. Britain indicate
that it is toward the cooperative move
ment that the workers are looking
more and more for active assistance
should any dispute Of huge proper
tions break out. cooperative ac-
tivity Is in reality applied democracy
in the industrial system"
1 :
President Moore commended the
work Of the Cooperative Union in
Canada and attributed the slow pro-
gress Of consumers cooperation to
the lack Of proper legislation, such as
exists in the mother country.
