Livestock Profitable
Says Leading Farmer

What 10 the most profitable farm
enterprise carried on by the farmer
in the last few years? Is it the.
number Of acres of wheat that he
was able to plant and the number of
bushels reaped; is it the number of
acres Of corn planted and reaped;
or is it the various animal projects
carried on through the year?
These questions were asked by
Theodore Martell, county agent Of
4 leading Grant county farmer, who
replied as follows: II have never
been able to make q profit on any
crop reAped on the farm one year
after another. There have been
years when / was able to show

The cost Of shipping Ignite bri-
quotes in North Dakota has been
reduced by the Northern Pacific
railroad.
Reduced carload rates for hauling
the briquettes from Lehigh to
other stations in North Dakota on
the Northern Pacific were published
Monday. ~
Reduced rates do not apply for
stations on the line between Grand

Public health work in North Da.
kota will be divided into districts
with q full time director Of each
district, if = bill being drawn by DR..
A. A. Whittemore, director Of the
state public health department, is
passed by the legislature next jan
uary.
Whittemore believes that to make
public health work moro effective
the state should be divided into
various districts, with four or five
counties in each district. A full.
time health director would BE- in
charge of each district. The work
now is being done by individual
physicians in each county, with no
full-time workers.
At present, DR.. Whittemore said,
each county is. paying about $4,000
for public health work and II this
amount from each county was ex-
pended toward building up 4 health
division, the work IN the entire state
would be put upon Z sounder basis
Of cooperation. Each division would
be under the direct supervision Of
the state headquarters.
The regular practicinR physician
who now Is in charge Of the work Is
often too busy to spend much time
in public health work, and ID not es-
peci4lly qualified for the position,
DR.. Whittemore said.

STEAM-DRIVEN
BUS is TESTED;
BUILT IN CITY
Designed to RevoIutionize
= Transportation; Plan
Factory Here.

A Steam-driven bus, built in this
city, which its hackers believe will
revolutionize transportation and
probably add to great industry to
the city, was given a demonstration
trip here today.
The bus has seating capacity for
forty passengers. 1t can attain
speed of a mile a minute. 1t is
operated by fuel oil at a fuel cost
of about 2 cents a mile.
Those privileged to make the trial
trip commented on the lack of any
jar or jolt in the starting of the
car. There are no gear shifts. The
operation is automatic.
Advantages Claimed
1.-THE new bus is being developed
by the Automotive Syndicate, Ltd,
las East Twenty second street.
Indianapolis was selected as the
logical center for manufacture of
BUSES and with that in view a
group of prominent Indianians
were invited to join the syndicate"
according to w. j. Parrish, an Of
fetal of the syndicate.
1.-THE finished pre-manufacturing
model was designed and constructed
for the Automtive Syndicate, Ltd,
| by D. Mccall White and his or
ganization, who released his first
designs and details for the various
units during the first week of April,
the parts for which were fabricated
almost entirely within Indiana.
THE advantages we claim for this
creation are lower cost per pas
senger mile; safer vehicle from
every standpoint; greater power per
passenger, and, in consequence.
much greater flexibility, permitting
OF uniform schedule operation;
longer life and greater riding COM
fort for the passengers.
Comfort is Aim
BUS riders of today are becom-
ing more critical of the character of
the ride and they seriously object
to the gear noises, the gas fumes,
and the jolting and jerking of even
the most modern buses on the
market today. Those objections
have been eliminated in the coach
we have produced.
THE Indianans who are partici-
pants in this enterprise are: Arthur
G. Newly, Walter G. Marmon, G. M.
Williams, LuciuS M Wainwright,
Norman A. Perry, Hugh NICK. Lam
don, Arthur R. Baxter, Elmer w.

The bringing in of Salts was
hailed as a great triumph for the
forces of law and order. He had
been at large so long that his name
had become a symbol of the under
worlds ability to beat the law.
The famous Stockyards beer
seller fled Chicago last May after
he had been fined $50 and sent

concealed weapon.

south side and has succeeded in
resisting all efforts of rivals to cap
ture any part of that territory.

Divides Millions Between I
Institutions and Children.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 15-In addition
to the millions given to charity dur
ing his lifetime, James A Patten,
wheat king, who died last week, has
left half of his entire fortune, esti-
mated at $20,000,000, to seven char
liable institutions.
The other half eventually will go
to his two children, Mrs. Agnes Pat
ten Wilder, Santa Barbara, Cal, and
John LoWrie Patten of Evanston, Ill.

ants, the YIN. C. A. and Monmouth
college, Monmouth, III.
The estate consists of Chicago
and Evanston real estate and securi-
ties, some of which have advanced

BY PAUL r. MALLON

United Press staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The
Kellogg anti-war treaty and the
naval cruiser building bill, known
in Congress as 1.-The two strange
bedfellows," lay down together on
the congressional program today as
the short session concluded its
second week.
The naval bill will be taken up on
the senate floor Monday while the
senate foreign relations committee
begins daily sessions in an effort to
force the treaty to the floor before
work on the naval bill is concluded.
The linking of these two issues as
the next subjects of Importance on
the senate calendar following
Fridays adoption of the Johnson
Swing boulder dam bill, was I'M
premeditated, although it suits adj
mirably those who want the naval
bill passed ahead Of the treaty.
Seek to Prevent Clash
Every effort will be made by the
leaders to prevent the two clashing
even though they are SO close on the
program.
In preparation for these big COM
ing affairs, the senate decided to
spend today working on the Hawes-
Cooper bill to limit shipments of
prison-made goods in interstate
commerce, a measure of vital i'm
portance to some industries unable
to compete with prison products.
The bill has been pending since
last year and was sandwiched in be
tween the Boulder lam and naval
bills because the leaders thought it
could be passed with a single day
of debate.
The Boulder dam bill was sent to-
day to the house for the appoint
ment of conferees who will iron out
the vast differences between the
house measure and that which
finally passed the senate late Fri
! day after four years Of turbulent
effort. The settlement of these diff
ferenceS may require several weeks
whereupon the bill goes to President
Coolidge for signature or veto.
\ House Stays in Session
The house usually adjourns over
Saturday because its rules permit it
to act more swiftly than the Senate
and it usually has little time on
its hands.
Its leaders, however, decided to
sit today hoping thus to achieve
their aim of passing five appropria-
ton bills before Christmas. Two al
ready have passed the house, the
interior bill was adopted Friday,
and the third one is now being con-
sidered.
Committees generally took a day
off, planning to resume investiga-
lions early EeXt week.
