Freezing Temperatures
Freezing temperatures have been
common in all parts of the state dur
ing the week, especially at night and
in many cases the ground has been
too wet for field work. In the east
ern part of the state, from Garfield
to Richland county, the close OF the
week saw some rise in temperature
with drying winds.

mittent clear weather, have made
start toward seeding the large crol

the Republicans failed to give the bill
a majority Of 2 to 1.
Bill Same as In 1927
The bill just passed by the senate
is in substance the same as that en-
acted two years ago and vetoed by
President Coolidge. The bill as pass
ed creates a federal farm board con-
sisting of the Secretary of Agriculture
and II members, one each from the
IL federal land bank districts. The
IL members are to be appointed by
the President and confirmed by the
senate. The Board is directed to ere
ate an advisory council for each COM
modify. There would be seven such
councils representing each of the maj
or farm products.
In the case of cotton it was given
a preferred status. This was done al
the request of southern senators.
There will accordingly be provided
$15O,O00,000 out of total of $780,
100000 to make the law operative on
cotton.
Fight On Equalization Fee Defeated
There was a fight made to strike
out the equalization fee provision, but
the attempt failed. The equalization
fee is claimed by supporters of the
measure with being absolutely essen
tial to its success. Without the equal
ization fee farm organization leaders
have contended that the bill might as
well be forgotten. Several influential
members of the senate who are vitality
interested in farm erlief are, however,
opposed to the equalization fee pro-
vision. Porminent among these are
Senators Borah and Brookhart. Oh

Radio Reports Say Repairs to

Greenley-Aviators VIII
Continue Trip by Air.

Montreal, April 49, Wireless
opeators in touch with Greenly
Island reported today that it had
been decided that the trans-At-

not be repaired on the island.
They said the German aviators
would fly to Murray Bay in a re-

York in the Junkers plane now
in Montreal.
Quebec, April 14.-The trans-Atlan-
tic monoplane Bremen wandered about
the skies lost in dense fog for -four
hours before it made forced landing
on a small frozen lake on Greenly
Island, according to the first message
to be received giving any details Of
the landing.
A message was received shortly be-
fore noon today by the Dominion gov
eminent telegraph service sayin tha
the landing was made at $3.50 %. m
yesterday afternoon (presumabl!
Newfoundland time which would max,

The message said that at first i
was believed the damage to the PLAN
was slight and early this morning tn
aviators intended to make repairs an,
continue to New York. On inspection
however, the damages were found t.
be more serious and it was believe,
the Bremen would not be able to TAX
off for several days.
Despite the strain of the four hour

There is a tapestry of romance IN
tho story Of how many Of our COM
monplace food products originated,
Many foods used daily in millions OF
American kitchens were born in the
stress Of wars involving the fate o.
empires. Beet sugar. for instance, was
first made commercially possible by
Napoleon in his efforts to break the
English naval blockade s~tranglins
France. Condensed milk was first fed
to the Union soldiers in the Civil
War. Soya' beans and bean oil became
standard commodities in the Russcj
Japanese war when the soldiers Of the
Mikado learned OF their nutritivA
qualities.
One Of the most romantic food tales
concerns the discovery OF margarine.
Napoleon III IN his disastrous war
with the Prussians was responsible
for the discovery OF this product now
common IN millions OF households.

hosts In 1870 threatened famine 70

Milk, too. gives margarine much OF

LUXFORD AND ROSE
CASE DISMISSED

Undersheriff Robert Robke last
week went to Daleview, where he ar
rested James Rose, on a charge of
second degree assault on a criminal
complaint preferred by Hazel Lux
ford, in which she alleges that while
Mr.. Rose was visiting at her home
and playing a game of cards, some
argument started over the game re-
garding a miss-deal between Mrs.
Luxford's brother and Rose, at which
time Rose flOurished a gun, causing
the company to leave the house.
Rose was held at the Sheridan
County Jail pending a hearing before
Justice of the Peace J. J. McElroy
which was held Wednesday, January
4th. The complaining witness at that
time withdrew her complaint and the
case was dismissed.
At the time of dismissing the case,
Judge McElroy seevrely lectured both
the defendant and complaining wit
ness, stating that there had been to
many rows in the Daleview district,
and that he did not want them to
come into his court again as the next
time he would not dismiss the case.
He said the family rows in the Dale
view precinct had become nuisance
that would not be tolerated any
longer in his court.
