of the 500 line tracks for the entire
distance and will eliminate several
railroad crossings, some Of which
are considered dangerous. In addi-
tion The new route will be several
miles shorter than the present one.
The proposed route will pass Bald

GROUP MARKET
IS ANSWER. TO
FARM PROBLEM
Iowa Professor Deplores Fact
That Big Potatoes Are
Leaving the Farm

Chicago. Dec. 7-lP)-Thc big po-
tatOcs" arc leaving the farm, with
little potatoes" alone remaining as
seed for future Americas crop of
farmers.
This was the thought sown at the
American Farm Bureau Federation
convention today by Prof. Macy
Campbell, head Of the department of
rural education at Iowa State Teach
ers' College, Cedar Falls, Iowa.
I'VE need not be concerned about
the departure of many young people
from farm communities" said Prof.
Campbell, "that is wholesale eco
nOmic readjustment. : There is not
room on the farm for every boy and
girl born there. What is of vital
concern is the fact that it is the big
potatoes that are going. leaving the
little potatoes to be the parents Of
the next generation in the farming
industry.
"Rural life at present is pale and
weak. 1t staggers. It is being blcd
white by hookworms--the hookworm
Of mortgage indebtedness, the hook
worm Of the deprecated farm dollar,
the hookworm of absentee land
lords.' F
Professor Campbell said that the
farmer "sells his commodity at the
other mans price, and buys his
necessities at the other mans price,
The farmer Is at one end Of the
trade, he said.. and "organized labor,
organized capital and organized pro-
feysions at the other"
Group marketing. he said, is the
answer to the farmers problem.

ST. LAWRENCE
WATERWAY IS
BEST PROJECT
Army Engineers Favor II
Over All.American Route 10
Benefit Middle West

Washington, Dec. 7-(H)-Thc
army engineering corps has refused
to yield in it's position that develop
mcnt of the st. Lawrence waterway
from the Great. Lakes to the Atlantic
is more advisable than the proposed
all-Amcrican route across New York
to the Hudson river.
Submitting the adverse report Of
his engineers on the all-American
route, Major General Edgar Jadwin,
chief OF the corps, asserted that ut
Is quite possible that ultimately both
routes will be required. but facts and
figures clearly indicate that the St.
Lawrence route is at present the
more economical investment Of the
two"
Submission of the report, however,
has not served to alter the views of
Chairman Dempsey of the house
river and harbors committee, who
has been an ardent advocate Of the
ERll American route which would pass
through the New York district which
he represents in congress.
DempSeyS convention
He contends that the engineers
ignored" the point "that the all
American route will reduce traffic
congestion in years to come and pro-
mote domestic trade" and failed to
take into consideration that five
sixths of the st. Lawrence water
power belongs to Canada"
General Jadwin said the question
Of water power expenditures was
eliminated from the present discus
sion when it was understood that the
st. Lawrence could produce 100000
hydroclcctric horsepower when need
ed, and that this would equal or cx-
ceed in value the cost of developing
both waterway and power facilities.
The conclusion of the engineers
who studied the projects, he asserted
was that the St. Lawrence route
would "afford better relief for the
lniddlcwcst and is better invest
mcnt for the United States as navi-
cation proposition"

ERDMAN OLSON
CHARGED WITH
GIRLS MURDER
COrOner's Jury Decides He
Deliberately Plotted Sweet.
hearts Death
LETTER Is IMPORTANT
States Attorney Believes
Boy Dug Grave Before
Calling For Girl

Prairie du Chicn, Wis.,, Dec. 7.-(P9
The brand Of a murderer has been
placed on Erdman Olson, missing cal
lege student, by coroner's jury as
its assessment in the stark drama OF
Clara Olson's death.
Clara's body, rescued last week
from a crude grave in hillside vii.
derness, today receives Christian bur-
ial in a little church yard cemetery,
the closing scene Of the visitation OF
tragedy upon the rugged and peace
full hills of southwestern Wisconsin.
Erdman, sweetheart Of Clara and
son OF q wealthy tobacco planter, was
named as the slayer late yesterday.
The coroner's jury concluded, after
hearing letter sent to Clara by the
youth on the day Of her disappear
ance, that Olson deliberately plotted
her death, bringing her from her
home with pretense Of marrying her
before she became the mother Of a
babe she was expecting.
Evidence Presented
The inquiry developed that Clara
disappeared September 5, and that a
posse found her body buried in a
hastily dug grave, half mile from
Erdman's home, December l. The in
quest also brought out that Erdman
Olson, whose l8 years were four less
than those CT his sweetheart, had at
tended dance at Seneca, three miles
from Clara's home, the night of Sep
tember y and that he had driven to
the girls farm home at about the
hour she vanished.
This evidence was crowned, in q
sensational climax to the inquiry
with introduction of letter found
in the girls dress when the body was
recovered. 1t was from Erdman to
Clara, outlining plans for their flight
and marriage, and instructing the
girl to meet him ut the dance il she
could, or in front of her home at mid
night September 8, if she could not
be at the dance.
Follows Instructions
He told her to Bring all the money
you can if you want to make a nice
trip of it," warned her to burn all
his letters, and cautioned her that
"if you do not do as say your chance
will be shot and might be a scarce
hubby"
Clara, testimony indicated, obeyed
him to the letter, and went trusting
to her death. The theory of States
Attorney G. H. S. Earll is that the
boy planned the crime carefully, dug
the grave before he went to the o.
son home the night Of September 9,
and then carried the girl, after he
met her, to the spot where the grave
was prepared, clubbing her to death
and burying her body.

With 10 vessels liberated from the

A steel government cutter, assist

all the ships are badly battered by
the numerous charges against forma-

have left the water entirely in their

those occasions it has been neces-
sary for tugs to pull them back in
