STATE FARM
BUREAU OPPOSED
TO SEC. JARDNE
MINI. ORGANIZATION GOES ON
RECORD AGAINST POLICIES OF
SEC. OF AGRICULTURE AT
LAST WEEKS MEETING.

Policies of William M. Jardine,
secretary of agriculture, were termed
national scandal calling for
searching congressional investiga-
ton" and Secretary Jardine was de-
clared totally unfit for the office he
holds" by the Minnesota Farm Bur-
eau Federation at it's meeting in ST.
Paul last week. The charges were
made in the report Of the legislative
committee Of the farm bureau feder-
atfsn. The report was unanimously
adopted by the convention.
The committee recommended that
northwest members of congress con-
tinue their efforts for enactment of
farm legislation of the McNary-Hau-
gen type to permit control of surplus
crops. 1t points to the recent slump
in the price of cotton as "ruinous to
thousands of southern farmers because
of lack of such control"
Secretary Jardine, in the report, is
termed "an obstructionist who has op-
posed all beneficial farm legislation
and has played into the hands of the
commercial east instead of looking out
for the interests of the agricultural
states"
"Under his administration" the re-
port says, ''the United States depart
ment Of agriculture has ceased to be a
coordinate branch of our federal gov
ernment. 1t is dominated by and is
subordinated to the department of
commerce and the secretary of agri-
culture is head of his department in
name only.
'The historic policy of our gov
ernment has been to foster agri-
culture, the basic industry of all, even
in prosperous periods, and the Jar
dine policy is a double indignity be-
cause of the callamitous economic con-
ditions now surrounding agriculture
which call for constructive leadership.
This is national scandal Of the
first order calling for a searching in
vestigation as contemplated in the
Wheeler resolution now pending in the
United States senate.
'Mr. Jardine's unfitness for secre-
tary of agriculture is further demon
strated by his action in sending a
federal employee to Europe to study

BE CAREFUL HOW YOU WRITE

BERLIN, Jan ga Yogi doctor,
Wilhelm Sachs, has set the west end
as well as Berlin's poorer districts
aflutter. Sachs is a German and not
a Hindu He has certainly not the
reputation of being Charlatan, even
the medical profession going no
further than, to call him an enigma
Prominent physicians have attested
in writing that Sachs has actually
performed some marvellous cures by
merely placing his hands on the
patient. These cures, they declare.
must remain a mystery from the
standpoint of medical science.
Within the last year Sachs has
been treating the wealthiest and
poorest alike, all for the same fee.
He has never studied medicine nor
does he profess to have any knowl-
edge of that science
He is tallish young man of about
80 with sparse fair hair and a
rather commonplace expression. His
general appearance is that of the
average German ex-army officer. His
extremely modest apartment, is in
the city's southeastern district.

resignation as manager of the Hohen-
zollern family interests resulted in
directly from Williams second mar

Princess Hermine is said never to
have forgiven Won Berg for his
opposition to this union, which at the
time he alluded to as very bad
form" on the part of the ex-ruler
For that matter. according to the
socialist newspaper Vorwaerts, even
the iex-crown prince is reported to
have referred to his imperial papa
as "a crazy nut"
1t was Williams great dissatisfac-
tion with some of the compromise
settlement of the Hohenzollern claims
against Prussia, however, that caused
the final breach between him and
his longtime business adviser and
friend. In his most grandiloquent
manner the eX-kaiser is said to have
demanded of Won Berg immediate
payment of the 100000 marks con-
ceded by the state of Prussia.
AS administrator of this capital.
for the conservation of which he con-
sidered himself responsible, Won Berg,
however, flatly refused to hand over

ROAD REACHES
TOP OF DIVIDE

The new road through Leslie canyon,
leading from Douglas to Rucker cam
yon, will be completed to the top of
the divide during the present week,
according to announcement Saturday
by Supervisor John B. Hart. All blast
ing work on the road to the top of
the divide is already finished and only
the work of grading and; surfacing
this section remains.
The work of constructing the road
down the far side of the divide will
be continued as rapidly as possible, the
supervisor states. 1t is expected that
the road will be completed in the
spring, thereby eliminating a rough
and dangerous section of road that
now extends along the creek.
1t was on the section of road to be-
eliminated that H. Rivera, Douglas
merchant, was drowned last September,
and ranchers living in this section are
eagerly awaiting completion of the
road The new highway will also
open up one of the most beautifully
scenic drives adjacent to Douglas. Su-
pervisor Hart, who returned from a.
long inspection trip Friday, reports

son and Courtland roads are all in
