West Union SANDER Case
Attracts Entire Township
Emil Balduyck Sues Otto Ander-
son for Damages of $1,000
Gets Verdict of $1.OO

The jury in the case of Emil
Balduyck VS.. Otto Anderson, in
which Mr.. Balduyck sued Mr..
Anderson for $4,000 damages for
SANDER, brought in verdict Of 81
for Mr.. Balduyck.
This was an interesting case and
practically the whole township of
West Union took sides one way or
another in the matter. The case
was based on the charge by Mr..
Balduyck that Mr.. Anderson cir
culatei stories to the effect that
Mr.. Balduyck had stolen chickens
from Mr.. Anderson. Quite a bit
of feeling had been engendered
and during the progress of the
trial a large nuni,or of people
from West Union attended. There
were a considerable number of
witnesses who testified both for
and against the reputation of Mr..
Balduyck. Numerous witnesses
testified strongly to the effect that
he is a man of Good reputation and
a good neighbor while others testi-
fled more or less 20 the contrary.
The case Of Nj. Balduyck resi-
ed largely upon the testimony OF
Nick Diddier, VIC said that Mr..
Anderson had told him, while the
two men were iii the West Union
State Bank one L:y that he had
lost some 200 chickens and that il
was his opinion that Balduyck had
stolen them. There was also testi-
mony from other witnesses to the
effect that neighborhood gossip
had connected Mr.. Balduyck with
numerous chicken thefts. The de-
tense was to the effect that Mr..
Anderson had never directly
charged Mr.. Balduyck with steal
ing his chickens, but had said he
was suspicious of Mr.. Balduyck.
In the progress of the trial numer-
Gus small incidents were brought
forward to justify the statement
of Mr.. Anderson that he had a
right to be suspicious of Mr..
Balduyck. Some of these alleged
suspicious circumstances we're that
all of the chickens lost from time
to time were Plymouth Rocks. No
other kind of chickens were ever
taken and Mr.. Balduyck hopt only
Plymouth Rock chickens. Testi-
mony was also advanced that a
long wire hook used to catch
chickens was found outside the
chicken house one night
and that later 1,ewhat similar
hook was found at a farm house
that Mr.. Balduyck had rented.
Rebuttal testimony on this brought
out the fact that these hooks are

Ordinary unglazed newspaper

about 8 inches wide and IL to IA
inches long," says H. K. Wilson,
assistant agronomist of the Mime
sofa Experiment Station. about
six sheets of paper should be thor
oughly soaked in water by knead-
ing it into a wet roll. 1t is impor-
tant that all sheets be wet. The
strip of soaked paper is spread on
fiat surface and kernels of corn
to be tested distributed in the
same manner employed in making
rag doll. About so kernels can
be placed in each doll. Next, an
other strip of several thicknesses
of soaked newspaper is placed on
top of the corn, the edges of the
paper are crimped together a
then rolled into a compact doll.
The ends should be tied loosely
and the roll placed in a two-quart
fruit jar.
"This jar does not require lid
but should be turned upside down
and set in warm place. A small
nail placed under one edge will
permit air circulation. 1t is not nee
essary to give any further atten-
ton to the test until the results
are taken one week later.
"This plan was carefully COM
pared with the plan of placing a
lid On the jar and punching a hole
in it for air, which has been rec
commended in some quarters, and
gave 9 per cent higher termination
and much more vigorous seed
lings."

Agricultural Notes
Treating Seed Corn
May or May not Help


To the question, is it worth
while to treat seed corn with the
new organic mercury disinfectants,
DR.. IL. C. Stakman of the Univer-
sity Farm staff replies:
Sometimes it is and sometimes
it is not. 1t may pay one year
and not the next. 1t may pay in
one section of the state and not in
another. 1t is a seasonable and
regional problem. Tests have been
made by the Minnesota Experiment
Station for several years and the
results have been somewhat con-
flicting. Much depends on the
variety of corn, the condition of
the seed, the time of planting, the
soil conditions at planting time,
and the weather conditions in the
spring.
"The treatment does not cost
much-only about five cents an
acre. If yields are increased only
four or five bushels an acre, it will
pay to treat; but no one can guar
antee that yields will be increased.
The best thing to do is to try it.
Follow the directions on the pack
age. Treat seed for part of the
field leave the rest untreated,
plant side by side, and see which
yields the most. The chances are
the treated seed will. ="
According to the news service of
the. Nebraska Agricultural College,
experiments carried on for three
years at that station demonstrated
that none of the seed treatment
preparations significantly affected
the yield per acre or the general
quality of the crop.

DUMB, OR DUMBER?

Says wise scribbler, in writing
OF the coming presidential election,
over which the nation is supposed to
get excited:
Those who are dumb about some
things all the time, and others who
are dumb about all the things some
of the time, and the great middle
class which is dumb about everything
all of the time, are going to hold a
presidential election this fall"
That is what in an earlier time
would have been called an epigram.
Now it is called wise crack.
This wise cracker is superficial. At
least it is to be hoped he is, as the
citizen who really cares for his coun-
try wants to think this is going to be
a real election by the people, and
that they will know what they are
doing on the second Tuesday in No
vember. But dumb or dumber, the
people should have crack at it.
When they think about it at all, they
don't want to see gang, an "Ohio
gang" or the gang from any state,
section or group meet at midnight in
hotel room and pick candidate
and make the nation think conven-
tion picked him.
1t would be pleasure to see some
selections of men who have teeth and
aren't afraid to show them. A pro-
gressive, sound, level-headed man, but
not one that is too safe and too sane
the type the Wall street gang will
select if it is permitted to do So
By the Way.

A SAFE SPOT

1t is not believed that the Wash
ington powers will take seriously the
suggestion that the marines be re-
called from Nicaragua and sent to
subdue banditry and bombings in
Chicago.
This may be as well, for the ma
rines, for Chicago rebels are well sup
piled with bombs and machine guns
and they seem to have the ability to
place their shots better than the
Sandinists.
1t must be fierce to live in the dan
ger spots of the world and not know
what night one may be blown from
ones bed by bomb.
Mayor Thompson said when he took
office that within 60 days all of the
crooks would be run out of Chicago.
He seems to have run a good super
intendent of schools out and to have
made Chicago safe against an inva-
sion of George ", but for gangsters
brewers, distillers, bombers, machine
gunners and rum-runners it appears
to be the safest spot on earth.

STOCK OWNERSHIP SHAM

Employees stock ownership goes the
way of other anti-union schemes when
cold figures are presented.
Stock ownership of steel trust en-
ployes is given wide publicity, but
latest figures show this scheme is of
little consequence, though it has been
in operation II years.
The steel trust had 253, ,199 employees
- including managerial stats - in
1926. The trust has outstanding
3,602,S11 shares of preferred stock
and 7,116,235 shares of common stock,
or total of 10,719,O46 shares.
December 81 last 46,04S employees
were registered holders of only 1885,
3S1 shares of preferred stock and
662,353 shares of common stock.
An additional 24,576 employees had
open subscriptions for the purchase
of stock, but were not registered
holders of stock.
1t would be interesting to know how
many of the 46,048 registered share
holders are executives, managers,
superintendent office men, foremen
and petty bosses of the trusts num-
erous units, and how many are So
called wage earners.

WOMEN'S
Minimum Wage Laws Are
Few and Lame

Washington-Nin states-Califor-
MIA, Colorado, Massachusetts, North
Dakota Oregon, South Dakota, Utah,
Washington and Wisconsin-have
minimum wage laws for women, says
the United States women's bureau, in
| its pamphlet, Estate Laws Affecting
Working Women"
In Minnesota the attorney general
has ruled that the law is unconsti-
tutional as applied to adult women.
Two states-South Dakota and
Utah-have set a minimum wage by
law in specified industries or occupa-
tions. The remaining states-Califor-
MIA, Colorado, Massachusetts, North
Dakota, Oregon, Washington and Wis
consin-have created boards or COM
missions with power to study the va
rious occupations or industries and
establish minimum wage rates for
each or all of them. This has been
done by one or more groups of work
ers in all the states except Colorado,
where, through lack Of sufficient ap-
preparation, the commission has never
functioned.
The awards of the boards or COM
missions are mandatory in all the
states except Massachusetts, where
they can be enforced only through the
strong support of public opinion. The
highest wages set in any of these
awards are SIS a week for all indus
tries in California.
where the rates are set by law
they have not responded to the great
rise in the cost of living since 1914"
the woman's bureau says. "The rate
set by the act of the Utah legislature
is $3.50 for experienced women"

MODERN UNION SMASHING

Testifying before the senate coal
strike committee, the attorney for the
Consolidation Coal Company revealed
how intrigue and stealth have replac-
ed crude union-smashing methods.
This Rockefeller concern, located in
West Virginia, signed the union
agreement and later suspended oper-
ations.
When the miners were idle several
weeks they were evicted from COM
pany houses. Company men" circu-
lated petitions among unemployed
workers for the management to re-
sumo operations at lower wage
scale.
The company announced it would
comply with the request"
Officers of the United Mine Work
ers charge that the plot was Matched
in the company's office; that mine
guards were employed; that the men
were starved into submission, and
that the petition is now used as an
alibi.
The Interborough Rapid Transit
Company of New York is using the
same crafty method in opposing the
Amalgamated Street Car Mems Union
by operating through a company
union" that the management organ
lied and controls.
This union" refuses to work with
bona fde trade unionists, and the In
terborough affects disinterested po-
sition while it discharges Amalga-
mated men on demand of its creature.

POLITICS-POLITICIAN

Trade unionists should not be
affected by present-day cynicism to-
ward political activity.
Those who encourage this fippancy
seek a free field to use government
for their individual purpose.
Corrupt politicians are but re-
fiex Of those who contribute funds to
make this corruption possible.
Governmental wrongs can not be
righted if citizens affect a contempt
for politics and refuse to vote. This
attitude is always cheered by those
who live by privilege.
The term politics" in it's best
sense, is defined in the Century Die
tionary:
''The science or practice of govern
ment, the regulation and government
of nation or state for the preser-
vation of its safety, peace and pros
perity."
The. term politician" is defined:
Zone who is versed in the science
of government and the art of govern
