CLARA MICHAELS
ADMITS CHARGE
BOUND OVER TO FEDERAL
COURT BY COMMISSIONER
ON LIQUOR COUNT

Officer J. R. Holsclaw and a rep
resentative Of the sheriff's office
arrested Clara Michaels Wednes-
day afternoon when she parked q
car she was driving on Main street.
The charge was manufacturing
and transporting Intoxicating IL
quors. A search of the car yield
ed about two dozen bottles Of
home brew. Indications pointed
TO the woman having brought a
larger stock Of brew to town as
the cushion was out Of the rear
seat of the car. Mrs. Michaels
was accompanied by her seven
teen-year old daughter but no
charge was preferred against the
girl.
Dogs, Brew-Both Wild
Earlier in the day the officers
had visited farm about nine
miles north of Oswego where the
|Mia1aels woman has been making
her headquarters this spring.
Three dogs, one Of them unusual
.ly large and fierce, barred en-
trance to the house as none Of the
tenants were home. The officers
hailed a man working in a field
lon the place and had him control
the dogs which he did with diff
Guilty. In the house several large
crooks Of matted brew we're found
which were destroyed after a sam
ole was procured. Believing that
Mrs. Michaels was in Wolf Point
the officers returned here and soon
located her. She was arraigned
before U. S. Commissioner John
10. Garden and pleaded guilty to
the charge. A bottle Of the brew
taken to the commissioners office
proved very wild" When the cap
was lifted for investigation it lit
orally blew itself out Of the bot
tie and all over the place.
The commissioner bound Mrs
Michaels over to the Federal
court under bonds Of $500, which
she secured after trip to Pop
liar. The car, an Overland, was
confscated.

new IMPLEMENTS
FIT new METHODS
MANAGEMENT OF MOISTURE
AND WEEDS MOTHERS
INVENTIONS
(By D. B. Noble, Co. Agent)

Progressive changes in tillage
methods, based upon experience,
which have increased farmers net
income is very much in evidence
this year in Roosevelt county ac-
cording to information received
from the various implement
dealers throughout the county.
The fact that over four car loads
of the newer type of tillage i'm
plements, that meet the approved
and progressive ideas on soil mois-
ure, have been sold throughout
the county shows conclusively
that farmers are paving the way
to increase their earning power by
better tillage methods and that
they have definitely decided to in
crease their acreage Of summer
titled land to such place that
lit will take the greater part of the
risk out Of their farming prac-
tices.
An analysis shows CnaC mOlSUufe
lis the chief determining factor in
increasing net income and cutting
down production costs. Expert
ence further shows that early and
properly handled summer tillage
are methods that make the best
available use of soil moisture and
that a duckfoot type machine is
the implement that will place the
seed bed in proper condition to
abosorb and retain all moisture
that falls.
Two Car Loads
In the Froid-McCabe-Culbert-
son territory two carloads of the
spning tooth duckfoot type culti-
vator have been sold; other ma
chimes that have proven popular
and have been sold in other parts
of the county are the regular
duckfoot type and the Canadian
duckfoot weeder type. A few
farmers plan to demonstrate this
year the Crawford weeder, 8
cheaper machine which was in
vented and manufactured by the

ZANE GREY EPIC
HERE THURS.-FRI.
PARAMOUNT SCREENS "VAN-
ISHING AMERICAN" WITH
STELLAR CAST

The tensely dramatic story of
the love Of white girl for an In
dian and his almost hopeless love
for her is told against the gor-
geous background of the Painted
Desert and the mysterious Nava-
10 Mountain with a cast including
ten thousand Indians in "The
Vanishing American"
This story, Zane Grey's tribute
to crumbling race of proud
kings, which opens at the Liberty
theatre on Thursday was many
long months in the filming by
Paramount on the Navajo reser-
vation.
Briefly and dramatically the
story of the history of the fore
fathers Of Nophaie, the last of a
long line of chiefs, played by
Richard Dix, is unfolded on the
screen. First comes the original
man, squat, ape like creature,
shambling along with his mate and
young trailing behind. AS he dis
appears into the forest another
and higher type of being follows,
and so the race is traced down
through the coming Of the Span
iards, the battles with the whites,
until the present day.
Navajo Tale
The modern story opens on the
Navajo reservation in the winter
of 1861. Dix, young, strong,
self-educated and a champion of
his peoples rights, has incurred the
i'll will of Noah Beery, the assist
ant to the Indian agent. The
trouble between Dix and Beery
reaches a climax when the Indian
whips the assistant agent for at

AMERICAN SYSTEM
URGED FOR EUROPE
Hoover Tells Nations to Fol-
low States Plan in
Trade Pact.

CHICAGO, October 23.-If the
% nations of Europe would initiate
Americas 48 States in establishing
free flow of trade between them
selves and If Europe as a whole
! would then establish her trade rela-
tions with the rest of the world as
has America, the purposes of the re-
cent international manifesto. advo-
eating removal Of trade barriers
would be practically accomplished
Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Com
merce, said yesterday.
The manifesto cannot be directed
with any logic at the United States
said Mr.. Hoover. because in the five
, years since enactment of our pres
ent tariff American imports from Eu-
rope have increased 54 per cent
while our exports to Europe have
increased but 13 per cent.
I'm the face of this increase" the
Secretary declared, cit can scarcely
be contended that our tariff if de-
stroying European trade.
There is a good deal of current
misunderstanding in Europe and
elsewhere about barriers on trade
with the United States. In the first
instance we have no discriminatory
railroad rates. no subsidies, we make
no stipulations that money we loan
shall be spent in the United States
we have no cartels or Government
price-fiXing on commodities. There
fore our export trade is wholly free
of impediments. The sole ques tion
is the tariff on a portion of cur i'm
ports.
Our import trade is 62.7 per cent
or nearly wo-thirds, on a free trade
basis, for that was the proportion
of imports free of duty last year
Moreover, the 1913 per cent Of duti-
able goods fades away a good deal
as an impeachment on European trade
by any analysis.
"Of the 37.3 per cent some z or s
per cent was in sheer luXuries, duti-
able for revenue purposes only, and
always will be dutiable in all coun-
tries. SO long as governments must
raise taxes. OF the remaining 80
per cent, agricultural products which
compete with our farmers, but which
do not come from Europe, comprise
about II per cent.
In any event, so long as the pres
ent low standards of living, and thus
low wages. exist in Europe we must
maintain protection to certain of our
industries"

CHURCH GROWTH SHOWN
IN LUTHERAN REPORT
"a New Congregations Organized
in Two Years, Convention at
Richmond Informed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, October 23.-De'
spite evidence in some quarters that
church influence is waning with a
trend toward atheism, the board OF
home missions and church extension
Of the United lutheran Church in
America reported to the biennial con
vention of that body here yesterday
that 81 new congregations have been
orga nized in the last two years.
The reports said the total NUMBER
of United Lutheran missions has been
increased to 379. made up of 47O con-
gregationS, all of which had gains IN
membership.
Owing to recent real estate ac-
tivity in North Carolina, Florida and
Texas" the report said, 1.-The pressure
on the church to extend it's work has
been heavy and during the past two
years it's loans to establish new mis-
sions and provide them with pastors
and chapels have amounted to $751;
950."
In spite of the necessity of increas-
ing pastors salaries and increasing
the cost of mission sustentation, high
rents and high living costs, the board
came self-supporting during the last
two years.
Contributions for church extension
reached $137, ,043 during the last two
year period, the report said, while
receipts from legacies totaled $780,
551.
With the large expansion of Lu-
theran missions in the last two years.
with "A new missions costing $3.50, 900
erected, a policy of uniform architec-
ture has been adopted, the board re-
ported.
Home mission work was merged un-
der one board. Heretofore five boards
and committees have divided the re-
sponsibilities in the home mission
field, put under the plan submitted
to the convention today by the joint
commission for reorganization of the
home mission work, after two years
study and adopted by the convention,
all this hereafter comes under the
board of American missions. Head
quarters of the new board will be
established at New York and regional
headquarters will be set up in Chicago,
Columbia, S. c., and at some point in
Canada.

MTCH|E GIVES FOUR
TALKS IN COUNTY
Addresses Meetings in Pock-
vile, Bethesda and
Chevy Chase.

Gov. Albert c. Ritchie Of Maryland,
candidate for reelection November 2,
carried his campaign into Montgom-
cry County yesterday in whirlwind
fashion, making four addresses and
receiving the pledged support OF the
Woman's Democratic Club of Mont
gomery County, rendered at a lunch
con meeting at Villa Roma.
Later, he spoke at Rockville and
went on to Bethesda, visiting the
school there which he dedicated last
year, and addressing night meetings
there and at Chevy Chase.
Gov. Ritchie emphasized substan-
TALLY the same points at the three lat
ter meetings, defining the issue Of the
campaign as administrative rather
than resting on any fundamental
problem in the composition of the
State government. He launched into
a vigorous attack of Senator 0. E.
Weller, declaring that he had failed to
support the progressive business men
of the State by absenting himself
from the Senate when important mea-
Sures were to be voted on.
Talking in an Informative rather
than an argumentative vein, Gov.
Ritchie expressed surprise that the

Republicans have not carried the
campaign to the debating platform
and said that 1.-The only real question
of the campaign is whether the Re
publican candidates can administer
the offices Of government better than
has been done"
Replying to criticisms relating to
his action in allowing Philadelphia to
be supplied by water power con
cern located In Maryland and Balti'
more by concern located in Penn
sylvania, he said that cheaper rates
could be furnished to Baltimore citi-
zens by the use Of the Pennsylvania
development than could be obtained
If the Maryland plant was used.
AS an illustration Of the efficiency
of State activities, Gov. Ritchie de-
tailed the development of the public
school system and the lowering OF
mortality and sickness rates by the
department of public health.

ty, candidate for United States Sena

as the presiding officer.
The 400 men and women at the Villa
Roma session were urged to elect a
solid Democratic delegation from
Maryland in the House of Representa-
tives and to get behind Gov. Ritchie
for the presidency.
Gov. Ritchie, who was introduced
bv Miss Ruth Shoemaker Of Chevy
Chase, spoke only briefly. Mrs. w

Docks Declared Hurt.

Gen. Sibert, on the question of sepa-
ration Of the port terminal charges
from the line haul of railroads, de
clared unless railroads are required
to separate the terminal cost from
the line haul and an adequate charge
made for terminal services, private
and municipal docks cannot compete
with the rail terminals.
Frederick I. Thompson. newspaper
publisher and former Shipping Board
member, expressed belief that the
Shipping Board could properly suS-
gest to Congress that it be given au-
thority to sit with the Interstate Com
merce Commission in considering and
prescribing port terminal practices
and charges. Mr.. Thompson ex-
pressed the opinion that unless the
Government operates ships or pro-
vides some sort of subsidy the Amer
ican merchant marine cannot be
maintained.
Representative John McDuffle
pledged his assistance in getting Con-
gress to appropriate money to main
tain at least the present routes. He
also approved the idea of the Ship
ping Board helping to determine the
policies of port terminal operations.
