Chicago, May 1s.-(AP)-Bruno
Bogoon's imagination, which already
has moved a small mountain of sand
finally has put police in pique,
They locked Bruno up last night.
Bruno is only eight years old, but
his imagination is full grown. He
was the playmate Of the missing

stories Bruno has told, each story
starting a renewed search and in

Bruno's first story led to a gen.

Bruno, had ben locked in a cal

freight train.
Then Bruno said John had been

two steam shovels worked all yes

"Well, l guess John didn't gel

Bruno, who had watched the steam

They took Bruno to the river, and

Retired Merchant and Farmer
Of Harvey, in Bismarck This
Week, Explains Just How
Farm Aid Measure Will Help
Farmers Of Northwest ..-

Supporters Of the McNarv-
Haugen bill ask for the world price
plus the tariff, on all agricultural
products.
The equalization fee is the BAL
ancc wheel Of an orderly market
ing machine.
So, tersely, W. E. Cooke, Harvey,
retired merchant and farmer,
clarifies the McNary- Haugen bill
farm relief issue. He was a visitor
in Bismarck this week. He owned
the farm land on which the pres
ent city Of Harvey is built and he
has given years Of study to the
farm marketing problem.
He has long sought for it an
economic rather than q political
solution. His comment on the bill
passed by both houses of congress
and now before the president for his
signature, followed a statement by
Frank O. Lowden, who has North
Dakota's endorsement for the Re-
publican nomination as president,
that if the Republican platform does
not include a definite farm relief
plank he does not care for the
nomination.
Mr.. Cooke insists that the plan
of relief set forth in the McNary-
Haugen bill is not an attempt by the
farmer to lift himself by his boot
straps.
Liverpool Fixes Basic Price
"Take wheat for example," he
said. ITO simplify things call the
tariff 40 instead of AZ cents a
bushel. Call the price 81. Let the
surplus be 25 per cent. Remember
the basic price is always fixed in
the Liverpool world market.
"Now take 1000 bushels of wheat
at the world price Of 81 bushel and
add the tariff of 40 cents. Let US
pay the farmer who sells the wheat
$1.40 a bushel for the Is per cent
consumed in the United States and
q dollar a bushel for the wheat sold
in the world market.
1.-TWO thousand bushels of wheat
at the world price, plus the tariff
would bring $1,000. There is Is per
cent surplus. So we take IS per
cent Of the 40 cents a bushel tariff,
which is 10 cents a bushel from the
1000 bushels. This amounts to 5000
to be deducted from the $2,s00. This
leaves the farmer $2,600, who un-
der our present wholesale world
market price only receives $4,000.
THAT is what the McNary.
Haugen bill means to the farmer, re-
duced to the simplest terms possible.
rs this government price-fix-
ing? Is it lifting ourselves by our
boot straps, or is it economically un-
sound?
Tariff Is imperative
Because Of the surplus, the tariff
Of AZ cents . bushel is imperative
and no one receives q cent Of bene-
fit from it in wheat sales.

Mexico, when not fighting, export

laborers Of Europe dump theirs in

HORSE RACING
FANS CONVENE
AT LOUISVILLE
Streets and Hotels Crowded In
Advance Of Kentucky Derby
Tomorrow

Louisville, Ky, May 18.-R-
Thousands Of visitors crowded the
hotels and streets today as Louis
vile made last minute preparations
for the fifty-fourth renewal Of the
Kentucky Derby.
BY private car, airplane, auto
mobile, day coach and even on horse
back, the throng poured into the
city.
The only rooms available in larger
hotels were those for which reserva-
tions had beenx made months ax0
but smaller hostelries, roominf
houses and private residences had
listed 5000 open rooms late last
night. As more than 10000 visitors
were expected for the classic tomor-
row, it was believed that every spare
bed would be occupied.
Railroads had cleared their yards
in order to make room for the
hundreds of Pullmans which will be
parked as temporary hotels for the
guests they brought to the city.
Ohio river packets were moored to
the levec in the business district so
that their staterooms might con-
veniently be used by overflow Wis
itorS.
Rains Have Ceased
Rains which had fallen intermit-
tently since Tuesday afternoon let
up last night but not until the
Churchill Downs track had been
covered into a river Of mud and the
professional tipsters thrown into a
panic on account Of the changed
odds that heavy course might
make in the Derby lineup. A large
force under Tom Young, track sup
erintendent, worked through the
night draining the oval in order that
possible winds and sun today might
dry it quickly. A large crowd of
railbirds cheered them on.
Owners and trainers indicated
that probably 81 thoroughbreds
would start.
Reign Count, Mrs. John D. Hertz's
thoroughbred, continued to be an
overwhelming favorite, even gaining
additional support when it was an

Toro, e. B. McLean's candidate. and
Martie Flynn, the Stuyvesant Pea
body entry, probably ranked next to
the Count with Louisville players.
Odds Shift Often
Gradually pruning Of the list of
probable contenders caused frequent
conferences Of betting groups and az
much Of the talking was done in
public places there was no difficulty
keeping pace with the shifting odds.
In the meantime, however, ordin-
ary pleasures were not entirely
neglected.
Announcement Of federal agents
that several shipments Of liquor had
been captured entering the city and
that . close watch would be kept
at roadhouses and restaurants did
not cut into the festivities. Roof
gardens and practically all other
places where one may dance and
dine were loaded to the guards.

ITALY REJOICES AT NEWS
OF SHIPS SAFE RETIIRN

Rome, May 18.--tP)--News of the
return flight of the Italia to her
Kings Bay base was received with
rejoicing throughout the Italian
press which cites the flight as a
splendid achievement.
The success of the dirigible in
resisting unfavorable weather con-
ditions was praised by the papers
which said that she had gained all
her set detectives and, from a scien-
tific as well as aeronautical stand
point. amply justified the faith Of
her supporters.
Popolo di Roma notes that be-
tween Spitzbergen and the Franz
Josef Archipelago, the Italia found
no trace Of land. showing that the
mythical Gillis Land as we'll as
Crocker Land. which Peary thought
he saw, did not exist.
However. the Italia's crew was
able to establish the pre~.nce Of a
vast zone Of open sea to the north
east of the Franz Josef group at 80
degrees north longitude and another
space Of open water near Nicholas
IL land" says the paper declaring
that this is enough to constitute a
revolution in Arctic geography.
The newspaper says that where
Mobile went beyond the Russian ex-
ploration of Nicholas II Land in
1913 was that he flew over the en-
tire length Of the region and should
be able to determine whether it is
one great island or an archipelago.
The precise determination of this
was one Of the detectives Of the
Italian expedition.
Now that Mobile has made tw.,
preliminary flights, popular interest
is centering on his projected trip
over the pole itself when he plans
to deposit large cross blessed nv

from the Pontiff.

FEBRUARY 27
Nicaraguan Guardsmen Also
Killed-Two Other Marines
Wounded
5 REBELS ARE KILLED
Relief Columns Are Rushed to

5 REBELS ARE KILLED

Managua, Nicaragua. May 49,
(AP)-Pushing their way through
the jungles of the north, American
marines today were tracking down
the rebel slayers Of a comrade in
arms.
In the most severe combat since
February q, one marine and one
Nicaraguan National guardsman
were killed and the commanding Of
ficer of the patrol, Captain Robert
S. Hunter of Kansas, ara another
marine were wounded.
Sixty to IS insurgents and rs ma
rines and 10 guardsmen took part
in the clash which occurred near
Paso Real, As miles northeast of
Jinotega and across the Qua river.
Fighting against odds, the ma
rines killed five rebels and wounded
five. The insurgents were under
Jose Leon Diaz, who has had pre-
vious revolutionary experience and
is reputed to be a Hoaduran who
has joined the cause of General
Augustine Sandino.
The marine patrol was isolated.
Medical and surgical supplies were
dropped to them by an airplane
squadron under Captain Robert A.
Archibald. The names Of the en-
listed men who were casualties were
not learned.
Two relief columns were rushed
from Jinotega toward the region
which is thickly forested and has
been little explored. These marines,
under Major Keller E. Rockey Of
Indiana, were to assist the wounded
and take up the pursuit Of the
rebels. The wounded will be sent
to Quilali and then evacuated to
Managua by airplane. Brigade
headquarters stated that they be-
lieved Captain Hunters patrol was
not in a serious predicament.
A Daring Leader
Diaz is known as a daring leader.
Last October he attacked govern
ment garrison of 30 men with Is
followers. Recent reports said he
had 200 men unde. his command.
Constant pressure by marines broke
up this band, but they were believed
to have worked their way back to
Jinotega in small groups and formed
again.
H. w. Amphlett, manager of La
Luz mine in northeastern Nicaragua,
which was recently destroyed by in
surgents, returned to Puerto
Cabezas, with copies of a defiance
signed by General Sandino.
Sandino wrote that, until short
time ago, he believed the majority

DRAWING NEAR
PEKING TODAY
NOrtherners Said to Be Pre-.
pairing to Retire Into
Manchuria

Shanghai, May 1S.-(AP)-The
nationalists were approaching ever
nearer Peking today.
Members of the foreign commun-
ity at Shanghai believed that the
northerners were preparing to retire
from the capital into Manchuria.
"a Reuter- dispatch from Tokyo
said that indications there were that
Japan was prepared to act on q mo-
ment's notice to prevent the civil
war from spreading into Manchu-
ria.)
The nationalists were believed to
be advancing along the line Of the
Peking- Hankow railway. The latest
natioalist reports claimed that they
had reached Paotingfu, about 80
miles south of Peking on the rail
way. The nationalist news agency
said that the vanguard Of Shansi
troops, which are allied with the ma
tionalists, had reached Changsin-
tien, about seven miles southwest of
Peklng.
Indications Of danger TO- Peking
were seen in attempts Of Marshal
Chang Tso-Lin, northern dictator, to
hearten his own troops and discredit
the nationalist generals. He issued
q proclamation accusing General
Feng Yu-Hsiang, nationalist ally,
Of cooperating with the communists
and attempting to foment anti
foreign demonstrations. This last
charge was regarded as an attempt
to involve the nationalists with the
japanese.
The Japanese formally notified
the Chinese authorities at Tsinan,
where nationalists and Japanese
clashed, that Major General Saito
had been appointed garrison COM
mander there to assist the chamber
Of commerce il maintaining order.

LIVESTOCK PROGRAMS

The question comes to every
farmer at some time or other as
to what his main projects on the
farm should be. This is a very
pointed question especially in a
| community like this. We have Civ
en- considerable thought to this
question ourselves since coming to
the county, and as county agent,
would like to make some suggest
ions along this line. We may not
see all factors as the farmer does
and these suggestions are made
from the standpoint of provoking
thought and discussion on the ques-
question.
We might say at the beginning
that we do not believe that there
should be just one type of farm in
the county, but having many farms
where working capital is limited,
and one of the big problems is liv-
ing for the family, we believe that
livestock of some kind and prefer
ably dairy and poultry, have very
important place.
Livestock and particularly either
dairy or poultry and in a good
many cases, probably sheep, in
sures a steady income from the
farm month after month. We do
not believe that the livestock will
return as much as many of the
cash crops in some years, but we
do believe that the livestock Of
fers much surer income from
year to year than can be depended
upon from any of the cash crops
which We may have, for the farm
er who is rather short on capital,
and has debts to meet, we believe
some form of livestock as major
enterprise, with what acreage he
can handle of the cash crops, such
as asparagus, berries, melons, let
tuce, onions and potatoes, or even
early fruit, where these are rea-
sonably safe, will make much
safer proposition than will large
acreages of early crops. We be-
lieve that the only man who can
figure strongly and play the game
with the cash crops, is the man
who already has made money and
the effort to take the loss which
is bound to come occasionally.
With the possibility of producing
the best hay in the world, as good
pasture as can be grown out OF
doors and as good silage crops as
can be grown anywhere, which
should leave the need for grain
to be purchased down to the mimi
mum, we believe that he dairy
project offers good opportunities
here. Our most serious drawback
is in the heat Of, the summer, and
with good shelter belts and those

made useful as pasture areas, a
large part Of this trouble should
be overcome. Almost the same
thing may be said of the poultry
situation and with an abundance
of green feed and grain grown at
out doors, we believe it should be
able to compete with aAy section
in poultry production. Sheep should
also do well here and would do
much to control weed problems on
the irrigated farm. We believe that
every farmer could afford to have
few head of sheep just from the
standpoint of weed control.
