Other government establishments

q strike and loudly demanding free
dom for Sacco and Vanzetti, the dem
onstration stretched from curb to
curb and extended for three blocks,
marooning street cars and stopping
automobiles.
In the meantime two dozen squad
cars were zooming and sirening thru
the west side, organizing for a posi-
tion to break up the demonstration.
Finally at the Curtis street block from
the Workers Party National Office
the first squad car changed into the
crowd. This was followed by dozen
more. Detectives struck out right and
left with clubs and revolver ends.
In spite of the brutal assault the
crowd moved on. 1t was not until
more than dozen tear gas bombs
had been thrown, with sitting and
binding gas fumes causing a panic
that knocked many down, that the
street was cleared. For hours after
into the early morning squad cars and
patrols raced madly about streets,
sirens shrieking and terrorizing the
entire west side working class quar-
ter.

TRUCKING LIVE STOCK
SHOWS RAPID GROWTH
Highway Shipments Eight Times
as Great as in 192O.-Many
Loads Come Long Distance.

The general use being made of
highways and trucks in shipping live
stock direct from the farm to the
terminal markets is indicated by a
recent analysis of one days ship
ments made by T. E. Good, president
of the Union Stock Yards company at
South st. Paul.
On Nov. 20, 1927, shipments we're
received from 1852 towns by truck
There were 473 loads, representing
GAS separate consignments. Sixty
three per cent came distances of
fifty miles or less, but 1T loads, or
81 per cent, came 81 to 10 miles.
The total number of cattle, hogs,
calves, and sheep received by truck
during the first eleven months of 1927
was 550,772, compared to 519,443 in
twelve months in 1926. Receipts so
times as great as in 1920, the year
before the trunk highway system was
put into effect.
Bringing live stock direct over the
highways reduces the number of load
ing and unloading operations, short
ems the time from farm to market,
and usually brings the stock to the
packing houses in better condition.
At points where there is no packing
house close enough to make direct
hauling economical, good roads and
trucks have made transportation
from the farm to the shipping point
easier and quicker, and brings the
stock in better condition than when
hauled by wagon or driven in.
Whether stock is carried to the
terminal market or to a shipping sta
ton, highways that are good all the
year around make it possible for the
farmer to sell whenever his stock is
ready for market, and enable him to
take advantage of favorable markets.
Without adequate roads, he must sell
when the roads are passable.

ICE HOUSE A NEED
OF THE DAIRY FARM

AS an aid to farmers in providing
ice storage, the division of agricul-
tural engineering, Department of
Agriculture, University of Minnesota,
has prepared blue prints of plan
for a farm ice house holding 16 tons.
The blue print shows just how the
ice house should be built, and is dis
tributed through the division of pub
locations, University Farm, st. Paul,
at the nominal charge of 10 cents to
cover costs. With creameries paying
premium prices for sweet cream,
more and more farmers are becoming
interested in providing ice for use in
the summer in order that the cream
may be kept cool until it can be mar
keted.
