IT'S AN ILL WIND that DOESN'T HELP

Washington. Sept. 2S-Every time
there is "a heavy storm anywhere in
the western hemisphere. Herbert
Ianvrin Browns stock goes up and
the United States weather bureau
decides the party is a bust and wishes
It hadn't come.
Herbert Janvrin Brown is sort
of unofficial weather prohphet. He
insists that by studying sun spots
he can tell in Il general sort of way
what the weather will be like as far
as three years ahead.
The weather bureau insists that he
cannot. Nor can any other man, says
the government experts. Long-dis-
lance forecasting, they say, is impos-
sible.
Sees Long Winter Ahead
But Brown is unruffled. He had
predicted that the summer and fall
Of 1925 would be tempestuous and
chilly, and he says that the next
winter will come early and stay late

SYSTEM OF
STATE PARKS
SUGGESTED
Lands in 10 States Available
For Such Purpose, Recent
Survey Shows

Washington, Sept. 2a-tP)--A chain
Of state parks to supplement the ma
tional parks is the aim Of the Ma
tional Conference on State Parks. of
which John Barton Payne is presi-
dent.
Such system Of public play
grounds is made possible under "a re-
cent act Of congress permitting the
states to acquire unreserved public
lands for this purpose.
Mostly In West
A survey made by the conference
shows that nineteen states have such
lands. the aggregate acreage being
Isl, 10000 lying mainly west Of the
Mississippi river. Land is available,
however. for parks in three southern
states, Alabama, Florida and Louisi-
ana.
The Joint Committee on Recrea-
tional Survey Of Federal Lands haq
made q study Of specific tracts which
possess features of value for local
purposes. It has picked out thus far
50 units containing 100000 acres,
Of which 80 units, embracing $780,
600 acres, have been withdrawn from
other disposal by the General Land
Office pending action by the state
concerned under the new law.
Proposed Sites
Many recreatiOnal units have been
reported and officials of the Ma
tional Conference declare that in
Utah particularly there is beautiful.
almost magnificent scenery in public
domain.
One suggestion advanced is that
state parks be established on the sites
Of the proposed Wonderland National
Park in South Dakota and the pro-
posed Roosevelt National Park in
North Dakota. Congress has refused
repeatedly to approve bills creating
these additional national parks.
Officials Of the National Confer
ence assert that these could easily be
made state parks, comparable to the
Custer State Park in South Dakota,
to the Palisades Interstate, the
Adirondack and Catskill State Parks
in New York. and to the Redwood
State parks in California.
The Public Land office has with
drawn number Of areas in Utah
from public entry pending action by
the state; while in Nevada the gov
ernor has had eleven areas with
drawn. In Alabama a tract in Little
Nays Gulf. which is very scenic and
has gone practically unnoticed for I;
number of years. has been with
drawn awaiting action by the state

SHOW CORN
SHOULD BE
PICKED NOW
Farmers Urged to Select Elk
hibits For State Show
Directions Given

Farmers were urged to pick inn
mediately. the corn which they will
display at the state corn shown
here November 10 to 10 in state
ment issued today by H. p. Cod
dard, show secretary and secretary
of the Bismarck Association Of
Commerce.
Interest already evidenc d
throughout the state indicates that
this years show will surpass even
the record show of last year, God
dard said, and will again prove to
the rest of the United States that
North Dakota rapidly is coming to
the front as acorn producing state.
Some of the localities which have
sent in large numbers of exhibits
in former years suffered from the
drouth this year, Goddard said, and
will have fewer exhibits than form
erly. An effort is being made,
however, to induce farmers in other
sections to select the best ears from
their fields and display them here.
Separate displays Of alfalfa and
sweet. clover seed also will be
features of the show.
This is the proper time to pick
show corn if that work has not al
ready been done, Goddard said,
since picking now will give good
opportunity for curing and will pre-
vent the corn from getting weather
beaten.
Some Suggestions
Suggestions for picking ears and
Judging exhibits are as follows:
Select 10 ears as nearly alike as
possible. not varying more than one
half inch in length. They SHOULD
have the same circumference, the
same number Of rows of kernels

WINDY CITY'S
rum ROW DEATH
TOLL NEAR END
Principal Bands Of Beer Rum
ners and Booze Dealers
About Shot to Pieces

Chicago, Sept. 28--LP)-The death
roll Of Chicago's Rum Row. which
has reached Is in the last two years
Of gang warfare, is almost complete.
In the opinion of veteran police OBJ
servers, and the principal bands Of
beer runners and alcohol deals are
about "shot to pieces"
The leaders and many Of the fol-
lowers OF these gangs nave been the
object Of elaborate funerals, or are
IN the hands Of police and federal
authorities. The coroner's statistics
show that many more have been
eliminated by bullets than by law,
but eventually most of those still
alive have been arrested. and another
wild west" epic, as lurid rs any Of
Tie rast, h closed.
Deginning OF "Wa1"
A police legend now accepted as
fact traces the beginning Of the gang
war to the death, in November, 1924.
Of Mike Merlo, acknowledged leader
OF the west side Italians. He is said
to have forbidden hostilities against
rivals in the business Of manufac-
turing and dispensing illicit liquor.
While he lived, occasional liquor rob-
berries known a. "hijacking," were the
only outbursts. Merlo died of pneu-
monia, not bullets.
The day after his funeral, Dion
O'Banion. head Of . composite group,
chiefly with Irish surnames, was shot
down and the war was on. Some
times the police were able to en-
counter an auto load Of gangsters
and few Of them met death in con-
flict with the law. But nearly al
ways competitors got to them first
with little or no traces of the as
sassins.
Revenge In Death
OF Merlo's lieutenants were the six
Gonna brothers, three of whom were
quickly slain in revenge for the
O,Danion shooting. Many Of other
gangs were "taken for ride" shot
and thrown from an automobile along
suburban roads.
An assistant states attorney, James
MsEwiggin, happened to get in the
way Of q gangster's machine gun, and
was killed with two others. One Of
them, the man really sought, was q
hlyheod friend Of McSwiggin.
The death roll grew until 50 names
we're added in the first eight months
81 1874 and then the leaders Of the
Saltis- NcErlane group. about the last
u the list, were taken on murder
cAss1es.

provides desirable quarters. Contin-
uous blanketing helps keep the ami
NAL clean, sweats the hide, thus i'm
proving its handling qualities and
makes the hair lay to the body. The
blanket need not be expensive but
it must be tied on securely.
Every dairy animal that is to be
exhibited should have the hair
clipped from the entire body about
three weeks previous to the date of
the show or sale. This will get rid
Of the old hair and allow a new.
even growth to develop which will
greatly improve the appearance and
increase the selling value of the
animal.
A point often overlooked in the
preparation of a dairy animal for
show or sale is that of training to
trained animal cannot display its
good points to advantage if it COM
bats the efforts of the attendant to
exhibit it properly. A little time
spent each day in training to handle
properly will save effort and en1-
barrassment at the show or sale and
increase the financial return.
While in the show or sale ring, the
man in charge Of an animal should
have one main thought in mind,
namely that of showing the animal
to advantage. By this is meant that
when it stands, its feet are properly
placed, back straight and head alert.
Any movement on the part of the at
tendant or animal should be as
graceful as possible. Until the rib
bons are placed or the auctioneer's g
hammer falls, take no chances,
Milford chronicle., 1926-08-27

Many a man who is undecided as
TO the breed of dairy cattle that he
will select has been Influenced in
making his decision by the animals
of a particular breed that he has
seen in public.
The individual breeder secures a
great deal of advertising as the re-
suit of exhibiting at fairs, or in Of
fering good animals at public sales.
1t gives people a chance to see and
know the kind of stock that man is
breeding and paves the way for fu-
ture business.
1t is essential that special care and
attention be given dairy animals far
in advance of the time that they are
to be exhibited or sold. Exhibiting
or selling animals publicly in their
every day clothes is poor advertising
and puts them at a disadvantage
when the competition is keen. 1t
takes several weeks to put dairy
animal in good show condition and
what applies to fitting for show ap-
plies as well to fitting for sale.
It is important that the dairy ami
NAL to be exhibited or sold be in
good flesh. A good covering of flesh
adds to size, increases Smoothness
and indicates that the animal is
thrifty and in good health. Dairy
animals being fitted need extra feed.
Stabling and blanketing are great
aids in putting the hair and hide in
condition. By stabling in summer,
the animal is protected from the hot
sun which makes the hide harsh and
stiff to the touch. A roomy box stall
that is kept clean and well bedded
