 STRICKEN,DIES
Leading Financial Expert on Preparations Commis-
 sion Passes Away
POSTWAR PROBLEM
 IS SERIOUS ONE NOW
Negotiations Are Deadlock ed After Weeks in Att
 tempt to Settle

PARIS, April 19.-The dramatic death of Lord Revclstoke, leading British financial expert on the Rep- arations Committee, staved off the imminent breakdown of negotia- tions. The situation came with startling suddenness.
 A plenary session had been called for II o'clock this forenoon and it had been expected this would see the end of 10 weeks of arduous ef- forts of the experts to solve the great postwar problem but the death of Lord Revelstoke, from heart disease, at 7:30 o'clock this morning, postponed announcement of the failure.
 When the experts had been con- vcned they already had been in- formed their colleague, worn and tired in unceasing efforts to find some compromise, had died.
 The Committee adjourned until Monday out of respect to his mem ory and for moment the utter deadlock was forgotten.
 There is again some hope of com- promise bet tgeen the demand of the Allied creditors and the German offer for reparations.

IS SHOT DOWN
 IN DOOR YARD
Important Figure in Chi cago Kidnapping Case
 Is Assassinated

JOLIET, III, April 19.-Another important figure in the Ranieri Kidnapping case last December, has been assassinated in his own door yard, probably, the Police said, be- cause he talked too much.
 Joseph Perconti, aged 37 years, was slain by shotgun killers.
 The man is generally believed to have given the Police information on which the kidnappers of ten year-old Billy Raniere were arrest ed. He was one of those arrested with the kidnappers and the case against him was dismissed in un- derstanding of the infor nation which resulted in the conviction of two men for the abduction
 Among those first sought for the staying of Perconti is his brother Tony, who was one of those charg- ed with the actual Kidnapping but never apprehended.

CHICAG 10, April l5.-An en- chanted fairy city is to rise in Lake Michigan off the shores of Chicago
 Volcanoes of light playing on clouds of gases and vapors-phos- phorescent seas and canals il- lum;nated by submerged globes buildings seeming to reach the stars and towers and columns disappear ing into the heavens buildings of celluloid and glass-interiors of fantastic structures, changing col ors at the push of button-noise- less electric aunehes-inoving side- walks and escalators running from floor to floor
 These are the suggestions So De submitted April 29 to the Chicago centennial committee by their ar chitects.
 Visitors to the 1883 exposition will all go down to enter the place. Moving sidewalks will carry them from the street level to the arti- ficial streets below.
 Ingenuity Of engineers has been called into play to obtain an ef- feet of verticality at certain points without having the buildings any, where near the height of the sky scrapers forming Chicago's sky line and the background of the fair A series Of islands in Lake Michigan will be built for the ex- position locale.
 A permanent fireworks impress. sion will be given by shifting color ed lights, passing over a group of columns, constructed of celluioid, tiling and glass. The columns will appear to move and their points to reach fantastic heights.
 Lighting is one of the most i'm portant considerations" Harvey Wiley Corbett of New York. chair man of the architectural commits sion said. The possibilities of ar tificiai light, both day and night, are so great they almost scare us."
 Visitors, moving from building to building on the noiseless launches. will travel between the specially built islands over canals, whose waters will change color as the silent boat slips along.
 .Verticality is a relative thing, continued MT. Corbett We may not have anything in the fair more than 500 feet high, but we hope to create verticality more intriguing than the nearby skyscrapers. The tower of Babel propably did not exceed 250 feet but compared to the huts in which people lived at that time, it was of enormous height"
 Each floor of the buildings will be set back to provide for streets and sidewalks. Visitors to leave the grounds must pass through sev- eral buildings.
 "We are going to make it easy for them to see everything that nothing will be overlooked" re- marked Corbett "At the same time we are going to give them absolutely new in archi- lecture"

ADVISES EARLY BUYING
OF: YOUNG DAIRY BULLS

n 4
Dairymen who intend to buy young
bulls for use this fall should make
their selections now, since the pick
of the bull calves can be procured for
less money now than it will take to
buy the leftovers later on, says H. R.
Searles, extension dairy specialist,
University Farm, st. Paul. Roads
are good at this season, making it
possible for the prospective purchaser
to visit wider territory. Likewise,
more time may be taken this sum-
mer in making a choice than next
fall when animals will be needed for
immediate service.
When buying bull, get one of
good size and type for the breed, Mr..
Searles advises. Study the pedigree
carefully and select the bull from a
good family because he will trans
NIT family characteristics. Get him
from a good COW, one with producing
ability; if the dam has several good
daughters, so much the better. See
that the daughters of the bulls sire
are good producers also.
Study the dam and sisters for type,
keeping in mind that type has dol
lars and cents value from a produc-
ton, as well as from scales, stand
point. For instance, a i. cow. with a
poorly shaped udder may produce
heavily for while, but cannot MAIN
tain her productivity as long as one
having lorg, even, we'll shaped I'D
der. Mr.. Searles urges buyers to
study their own herds carefully and
then try to select bull which will
correct some of the faults of the pre-
sent herd.

LICE AND CUTWORMS
PROVE SERIOUS PESTS

Plant lice and cutworms have been
the outstanding insect pests in Min
nesota during the past few weeks as
shown by the plant pest survey for
June conducted by A. G. Ruggles,
state. entomologist, University Farm,
st. Paul, in cooperation with county
agents and high school agriculture
instructors.
Damage from these pests has been
quite heavy and general over the
state. Plant lice are extremely bad
On such plants as rose and currant
bushes, says Mr.. Ruggles, who advis-
es that they can be controlled by per-
sistent spraying with nicotine sui
plate and soap solution. Poison bait
made from brand, molasses, and Paris
green has been used very effectively
for the control of the cutworms.
Grasshopper outbreaks in certain
sections of the state had been anti
cipated as a result of increased num-
bers noted last year. However, no
sign of serious infestations showed
up in the June survey and so it is
believed unlikely that any disturb
ances will be experienced this sum-
mer.
A new lilac pest has appeared in
Minnesota this year, being the larva
or caterpillar of a small moth, which
works inside the leaves, causing them
to turn brown and die. Nothing is
known as yet concerning the life
history of the pest and no control
measures have been devised, Mr.
Ruggles says, although entomologists
are now attempting to solve the prob
lem.

WARNING ISSUED
AGAINST TAKERS
Alleged Sailors Selling Coats
And Rugs Claiming They
Are Imported

A warning to be on the lookout for
a group posing as romantic sailors
bound for the seas with a stock of
Persian prayer rugs" and imported
fur coats" for sale, was issued here
by the state bureau of criminal APP
prehension.
The warning came as a result OF
reports that the erstwhile sailors"
have been doing a land office bust
ness in Minnesota communities by
confidential negotiations on a house
toulouse canvass basis. They have
sold the rugs saying that they OBJ
tanned them together with a number
of fur coats after they quit the Brit
ish Merchant Marine in Europe. They
have told a story Of bringing the
articles into this country without
paying duty.
Investigation, the state bureau
said, reveals that the fur coats were
bought in New York City for 500
each which they sell for $500 saying
they paid 500 for them in Europe.
The coats represented as seal skin,
were made of dyed rabbit skins.
Prayer rugs which have been rep
resented as having their origin in
lands and which have
been sold for $40 each have been pur-
chased for $3.50 each in Cincinnati,
the state buearu found. In two plac-
es in the state the sailors" who say
hof fhn1y. fn Coz,
Francisco to answer the romantic
call of the high seas, have come to
the attention of police officers. Five
were arrested in Itasca county and
were ordered to leave the state, while
at Austin a number of them believed
to be the same group, impressed
a number of housewives with their
bargains until local police there be-
came interested.

BIG INCREASE NOTED
IN SEED CERTIFICATION

Greatly increased interest in certi-
fcation of field seeds is manifested
by the large number of applications
received at University Farm, St. Paul,
by the Minnesota Crop Improvement
Association which carries on this SER
vice for it's members. Nearly 600 re-
quests for field inspections have come
in, which is double the number re-
ceived in any previous year, says
Ralph F. Grim, extension agronomist.
Inspectors are now at, work on
wheat, oats, barley, fax, and rye
fields, the principal varieties to be
certified being as follows: Gopher and
Anthony oats, Marquillo wheat;
Glabron and Velvet barley; Mime
sofa No. rye; Buda, Winona Chip
pewa, and Bison flax. Applications
for Grimm alfalfa inspection are also
being received.
Certiication work, as carried on in
Minnesota, requires field inspection
of small grain and later on bin or
laboratory inspection for purity and
terminating ability. Corn field in
spections are made following tassel-
ing out of the crop during the late
summer of early fall. Certification
work in Minnesota is now in its ele-
venth year and has been evolved as
a result of new varieties distributed
by the Minnesota experiment station.
It's purpose is to insure the produc-
ton of pure seed of these varieties
and serve as a guarantee of equality
and purity to seed purchasers.
