C0RN-HUSKING
TITLE SOUGHT
Champions Glorify Ancient
Farm Task in National
Contest

Winnebago, Mimi, Nov, 15.-(R)-
Clarifying an ancient farm task,
champions and near champions of
eight midwest states seeking the
national corn husking title came
here for the event today on the
Walter Springer farm.
Wet weather left the field soggy,
with husks and ears lacking the
brittle condition necessary for fast
work by the IA contestants entered.
Fred Stanek or Iowa, defending
champion, was after his third title
in the four years that national COM
petition has been held. Stanek won
the championship in 1924, and last
year at Fremont, Neb., had net Of
5000 bushels for the prescribed 30
minutes to repeat his triumph. He
was one of three entries who have
participated in previous contests.
The former contestants here to.
day are Bert Hanson of Minnesota
and Charles Budd of Indiana. Han
son, second in the 1927 Minnesota
bee, finished eighth in the national
contest last year, while Budd wound
up in 10th.
Majority Are Newcomers
Other entries were newcomers in
national competitions. They include
A. Aftermath, of Minnesota; Julius
Matheson, of South Dakota; Fred
Shinnaman and John Little, of Mis-
souri,; Hilmer Swanson and Joseph
Korte, of Nebraska; Orville Chase
and H. S. Graham, of Kansas; John
Dickinson, also Of Iowa, and Harold
Holmes, and Huston Franks, of II:
linois.
Old fashioned picking devices
predominant among the huskers,
with thumb hooks, palm hooks, an
occasional peg and even the bare
hand to rip the husks from the ears
on the standing stalks.
Six rows of corn, each so rods in
length, were allotted to the contest
ants. The rules provide for a man
to walk behind each husker to pluck
the ears overlooked or dropped, with
a penalty Of three pounds being inn
posed for every pound Of corn the
cleaner finds.
A dinner tonight winds up the
bee.

STOCK PRICES
MOVE UPWARD
Steel Shares Display Strong
Undertone-Money Rates
Continue Easy

New York, Nov. 15.-(F-Favor-
able trade news from some Of the
basic industries provided the
groundwork for another advance in
prices in today's stock market. Con-
tinued ease of money rates in the
face Of an unusually heavy mid
month turnover Of funds, due to the
retirement of the second liberty
loan bonds, was another favorable
factor.
Profit taking in some of the lead
ing industrials gave the morning
market an irregular appearance,
but offerings were we'll absorbed.
United States Steel common con-
verted an early loss of l 3-6 points
into a gain of one point before the
end of the third hour, and General
Motors climbed a point above yes
terday's final quotation. Wall
street showed only passing inter-
est in the publication Of alleged
photographs of the new Ford car,
but reports that William c. Durant
was undertaking a merger OF sew
eral independent motor companies,
including Hupp, Chandler, Jordan,
Moon and Peerless, while lacking
official confirmation, nevertheless
stimulated speculative activity in
those issues. One block Of 10000
shares of Hupp changed hands at
Is.
Steel shares displayed a strong
u .ldertone on reports from steel
centers that the recent increase In
commodity prices had stimulated
the demand, Gulf States advancing
four points.
Suga.. shares were quick to re-
spond to he announcement of an in
ternational plan to curtail produc-
ito, American Sugar Refining lead
ing that group with an early ad-
vance of four points. Restricted
production in the oil industry also
was a bullish influence on that
group.
Omission Of the Remington-Rand
quarterly dividend already had been
discounted by that stock. Case
Threshing broke six points and In
ternational Harvester dropped al
most as much on realizing sales.

Three Jamestown Boys
Charged With Assault

Jamestown, N. D., Nov. 15.-P)
Three young men Of this city are
in Jail charged with assault in what
was evidently an intent to kidnap
q young woman here Sunday night.
They are Paul Harrison, Alvin
Bowe and Carl Berger and their
kidnapping attempt was frustrated
when Mrs. Dorothy Schlinker
grabbed the keys to the switch on
the car in which they were at
tempting to take her and threw
them away, escaping while they
tried to start the car. She ran into
the house where she was stopping,
and from the door Of which she
had been grabbed, and called the
police. One of the young men was
captured that night when he ran
down town to get q key for the
car. The other two fled from the
car when the police appeared and
were not found until late yesterday.
In justice court this morning
Bowe waived preliminary hearing
and was bound over to district
court with bonds set ct $1,000
which he is attempting to raise
The other cases were continued,
Berger's to this afternoon and Har-
rison's to Wednesday at 2 o'clock.

JOHN JBVANKER
TO BE TRIED IN

Judge Crimson Grants Change
of Vcnue-Trial Will Be
Held in January

Devils Lake. N. D., Nov. 15.-tP)
John Jevanker, 18-year.old Ed.
more youth. who is charged by the
state with first degree murder, was
granted change Of venue by Judge
Gudmunder Crimson, who was an.
pointed by the supreme court ia
hear the case. Jevanker pleaded
not guilty Of the murder Of William
Stevens, Edmore butcher, May 2,
1927. Judge Crimson announced
that the trial would be held at Rug
by. Pierce county, in January, 1928.
Before granting the petition of
the defense. Judge Crimson, stated
that he cid not believe the jurors
of Ramsey county hac been pref
udiced by accounts Of the crime
and of the hearing published in the
Devils Lake Daily Journal, as was
the contention Of the defense. The
news items, the Judge stated, were
we'll written, and would have no eff
feet upon the Jurors.
Reasons Given
The reason for granting the
change was the question Of wheth-
er- the :.mended law relating to
what is called the double-barreled
affidavit, which went into effect
July J or whether the old law gov
erned this case. Under the ruling
of the old law, when two affidavits,
one against the Judge and the other
against he county, had been filed,
the Judge could not act, and u was
imperative that q change Of venue
be granted. The new law states
that when both affidavits are filed,
the supreme court appoints . Judge
to hear the case, and he has the
power to decid whether the county
is prejudiced.
In this case, an affidavit was
filed against Judge w. j. Knee
shaw, and Ramsey County Judge
Crimson, appointed by the supreme
court. decided to grant the change
as the crime was committed while
the old law was in effect, and the
petition for change having been
filed since July l, when the. new
law went into effect.

OF
PURNBLL ENDS
24-YEAR RULE
Receivership Directed For Col.
Ony-Criminal Charges Still
Confront Him

Benton Harbor, Mich, Nov. To-
|P)-Thrce centuries ago Joanna
Southcotc taught in England that
enc day a messenger would come
from Israel to lead $4,000 chosen
souls to everlasting life.
Six self-styled messengers rose
and fell, mortal as the members
they rallied to their little cults. And
now the seventh, Benjamin Franklin
Purnell, who t,ught that he was the
last and the most divinely favored
of the Israelite enveys, tas been
exiled by court of law from the
colony of bearded men and quiet
women which he founded on the
shore of Lake Michigan in 1903.
The 500 persons VIII. live by the
teachings of Joanna Southcote, as
interpreted and codifieds for them
by king Ben," must pursue the
rites of their strange faith under
the jurisdiction Of receiver ap-
pointed by the court.
Purnell Is Bsnished
Purnell, monafch Of the House
Of David since its inception, may
not set foot again inside its domain,
nor may he have any association
with the colonists whose affairs, re-
ligious and M. te-ial, he directed so
long.
Not only is Purnell deposed at Sc,
gray-bearded and wal. from the
throne he lately graced in the vigor
of his prime. Two criminal charges
still confront him, to be tried, If
the state elects. in the wake Of the
court order directing receivership
for the colony. They arise from the
same charges, made by girl men,
bers Of his cult, which influenced
the court to Gust the aging mon-
arch.
PurnelI is not expected to return,
in the shadow of old age, to the
itinerant ministries by which he
made his way before he founded the
House of David. A native Of Ken
lucky and a humble artisan in
youth, he entered upon a nomadic
life as an evangelist, abandoned
girl wife he had married at is, and
was wed at 10 to May Stollard-
later the "Queen Mary" Of his Ben,
ton Harbor cult.
The Seventh Message
Together they made their way
into Ohio, Purnell preaching as they
journeyed, and finally reached De-
troit. where they were admitted to
the cult of "Prince" Michael K.
Mills. Clashing over direction of
this group, Purnell and his wife SEE
coded and went to Be ,ton Harbor,
where Purnell proclaimed himself
the seventh messenger" and set
out in poverty with & few followers.
to build up what became a prosper
Gus community dedicated to the be-
liefs he proclaimed.
He forbade the trimming Of hair
or beard, prohibited the eating Of
meat and drew q rigid list Of COM
mandments. Members of the COM
munity who died, he taught, had
violated some regulation Of the cult.
The court declined to break up
the cult, and its followers may con-
true to practice their religion, but
who will succeed Purnell as leader
has yet to be decided. Among coll
onists prominent in the cults at
fairs during the defense of King Ben
is H. T. DeWhirst, once a supreme
court justice in a Western state.

Lower Tariff Would
Not Aid Farmer, in
Opinion Of Coolidge

Washington, Nov. 15.-R-Pres.
ident Coolidge feels that the prob
lem which confronts agriculture
would not be aided by q reduction
of the tariff.
This was made clear today at the
White House where it was said Mr..
Coolidge had not had any opportun-
ity to thoroughly study the reports
Of a commission headed by Charles
Nagel, former assistant secretary Of
commerce, which recommended =
revision Of tariff and railroad rates
as a means Of helping the farmer
by enabling him to purchase and
transport his goods more cheap.
". It was added, however, that
the presiden. is Of the opinion that
any change in the tariff would work
against the farmer, rather than IN
his favor.
As for a change in railroad rates.
it was said that the president had
approved a general survey OF the
railroad rate structure as asked Tor
in the Hoch-Smith resolution and
that this inquiry would not only
benefit agricultural products but
would bring relief to the railroads
themselves
Mr.. CooliIge's chief interest in
the Nagel report, It was said, was
in the facts it was able to present.
Mr.. Coolidge, it was said, has
worked along the lines that not only
agriculture but all Of the country
would hest be aided by the policies
which he Las, attempted to carry
out, namely. the reduction Of taxa
ton and aiding business In trying
to find q level on which il would be
able to expand with confidence.
The principal theory OF those who
believe that agriculture could be
aided by q. reduction Of the tariff,
the president feels, is based on the
supposition that the United States
could have most Of its manufactur.
ing done abroad, but he feels that
Il this theory were carried out
there would be q corresponding loss
to this country in its exports.
