HUSkING CORN PART
OF GIRLS DUTIES

Schaller. Ia, Feb tNEA)---
Folk in this part OF Iowa, a region
that boasts producing more corn than
any other equal area in the world.
are marveling over the corn husaing
record of Miss Mary Quirin. who re-
sides on farm near here. In the last
harvest Mary husked 1885 bushels OF
corn In 10 days. In addition she took
care OF her team and did her house,
hold work.
But Mary does not look at all like
a husky husker, and 1t is for that rea-
son that folk are marveling. Her
frame Is slight, her hands small, her
feet petite.
Last fall there was a scarcity OF
laborerS for harvesting corn and
Mary's brothers. who operate large
tract, were puzzled as to how they
would get all their acres of maize in
to the crib. Picking machines could
be used only when the corn was
standing we'll. But 1t happened that
heavy winds had put much of the
corn down, and SO it was necessary
to use hands.
Mary keeps house for her brothers
and noted their dark worry.
why worry? I'll help" she told
them.
But you've got to keep house."
Il know 1t. I can pick corn and
keep house, too. Yes, do all the bak-
ing and washing and ironing and
sweeping as we'll"
Mary had her way. Her brothers
assigned her team and each morn
ing the girl harnessed her horses.
hitched them to the wagon, and went
into the fields. The ears banged
merrily against the blackboard as the
girlish picker chirped to her horses
and hummed, though she had to bend
her back to get the down ears. In a
day or two she was expert at swapping
and throwing with the least wearying
effort.
Her brothers kept tally of her har-
vest and when the 10 days were done
and no more corn remained in the

PREMIER OF spain
DENIES REVOLUTION
Reports Broadcast of Bloody
Revolt Absolutely Untrue,
Says Primo de Rivera

Madrid, Feb. 5.-(R)-Premier Primo
de Rivera, in responce to a request by
the Associated Press for a statement
on the situation in Spain. today denied
that the recent revolutionary move
ment was OF Importance and declared
that there has been no fighting what
ever.
His statement follows:
Reports broadcast about bloody re-
volts In Spain are absolutely untrue.
There has been no bloodShed in
Spain. Not single shot has been
fired, whether by the rebels or by the
loyal troops. Practically all the troops
are loyal. the exceptions being very
few artillery officers.
The entire country has piled op-
probrium upon these disloyal officers.
The government will energetically
proceed against the responsible par
ties for these disorders, which have
been utter failures.
1.-THE army, the navy, the civil
guards, the coast guards, the security
force and the militia have at all times
been loyal to the government, without
allowing the politicians and other
disconnected elements-who do not
amount in the whole of Spain to more
than one thousand-to influence them
into abandoning their duties.
This is the truth of what is hap
pening in Spain. and whatever else
might be said is nothing but dream
Of those who are interested in proga-
eating the lies"

Croker Eases His
Conscience on New
Measure by Analogy

Senator w. G. Croker, Of Lisbon
put in bill appropriating $4,000 to
the cause Of North Dakota horticul-
ture Monday.
The senator had some qualms Of
conscience before he made the move,
he says. He didn't like to swell the
total Of appropriations.
So he had recourse to analogy,
He calculated just what percentage
of the total of appropriations his
modest item would be. When he had
worked out the percentage. he tried
1t out on his family budget.
He found that II he and Mrs.
Croker appropriated In the same
proportion for flowers and fruits,
they would be spending about 20
cents year.
'Jacta est alea," he said in the
Lisbon dialect. And the die was cast.
The bill went into the hopper. He
said he will defend it as bill tc
make the home more popular and
undetachable and give North Da-
kota a greater attraction to the visi-
tor and the potential settler.

BEAVER IS SAVED

Pratt, Kan, Feb. 5.-(P)-The beaver

This dark denizen Of wooded
streams, whose rich fur attracted
Senator Curtis French ancestors to
new trapping grounds west of the
mississippi, became SO scarce in Kan
sas few years ago that its complete
disappearance was believed to be
near. Killing Of a beaver under any
circumstances was forbidden, but even
the most hopeful friends Of the little
brown animal were not certain 1t
could be saved.
Although rodent, the beaver be-
came sacred In the eyes of persons in

GRAIN STORAGE IS
!. PUT IN CHARGE Of
new COMMISSIONER
Bill Rewritten to Merge Admin
istration and Farmers
Union Views Is Up

The rewritten grain storage mea-
sure which is to be substituted for
senate bill No. 50 was before the SEN
ate state affairs committee, this FORE
noon, and was held over for further
consideration Wednesday morning,
when typewriter copies Of the mea-
sure can be passed around and more
accurate consideration given.
Senator Fowler explained the
amended form OF the bill. 1t provides
for an initial appropriation Of $4,000
for setting the storage system in
operation. This is expected to be re-
turned into the state treasury from
the fees that will accrue from the in
spection and storage for which the
bill provides. The money will be
used to pay salaries and buy inspec-
ton equipment to the extent needed.
Administration of the storage sys-
tenn Is taken away from the railroad
and warehouse commission and
placed in the hands of state COM
missioner, who employs inspectors
and deputy commissioners. The rail-
road and warehouse commission re-
tains advisory powers and its approx
al is required in various ways.
The plan Of inspection Is to send
samples to the commissioner at Bis
marck, for the making of moisture
and protein tests. It was thought too
cumbersome and impractical to make
these on the premises where the grain
is to be stored, Senator Fowler said.
The moisture test. the senator said,
seems indispensable in the storage
plan. and it was on the advice OF st.
Paul chemists that the inspection
test was taken from the farm to the
Bismarck office of the commissioner
To buy testing apparatus for each
inspector. the senator added, would
entail vast expense, as each testing
machine costs $135. So by centraliz-
ing the tests, expense is avoided.
The bill Is understood to be the
compromise on which the admins
tration and Farmers union have COM
bined. Former Governor Maddox
said he would furnish copies of the
measure at 8 o'clock Wednesday
morning.
