Freund's.
Mrs. Freund. who doesn't live with
him any more but who owns jointly
with him the roomirg house at 923 N.
LaSalle street, has obtained an In
junction against the feet. She made
1t clear to Judge SABBATH yesterday she
did not wish to appear narrow mind
ed In the matter but she felt that
there were certain places where her
husbands feet should not be placed.
Every time she passes 823 N. La
Sale, she complained. she observes
the feet-sans shoes and socks
dangling gayly from the window Of
the front room. That, she said. is no
place for ones pedal extremities. It
has a tendency to discourage prospec-
tive dodgers. No one, she said, likes to
see feet dangling out a front window.
Judge SABBATH granted a temporary
injunction.

HUSKY, in Radio Talk, Says In
terests' Dominate AgricuI-
ture Commissioner

Charging that the Independent ad-
ministration has failed to put a con-
structive program across" John Hus-
by. former state dairy commissioner,
appealed to North Dakota voters In q
radio address last night to support s.
s. Mcdonald, Nonpartisan candidate
for commissioner of agriculture and
labor.
Whatever victories the Nonparti-
sans have won In years gone by have
been won by the farm vote, and what
ever victories have been won by the
I. V. AS have been won by the votes
from the towns and cities of the
state" HUSKY said.
1.-THE question therefore that Will
be settled In this election is whether
or not the I. v. AS in the small towns
looking for cooperative creameries
and better marketing facilities are
going to reflect Joseph Kitchen and
a centralized-controlled dairy depart
ment to act as a stumbling block for
them OF, are they going to elect MIR.
Mcdonald, who believes that cooper
alive creaElerieS are entitled to
friendly and constructive support"
HUSKY stated further that outside
Of what the Nonpartisans have done
In establishing the state mill and
elevator, not q single constructive
thing has ben accomplished to give
better marketing facilities, even after
President Hoover and Chairman
Legge Of the federal farm board have
specifically recommended that the
solution of the whole movement must
come from the well organized local
units here at home.
Permit me to ask the pertinent
question as to what Is wrong with at
least n politiccl faction m' this
state, seeing that 1t has not made q
single move to put q constructive pro-
gram across.
us 1t possible, therefore, that this
faction Is too boSs-ridden and its
leaders too closely allied with inter-
estS who are in opposition to any
changes or interference with the pres
ent marketing situation?"
HUSKY declared that, while holding
office under Kitchen he met with
the same kind Of opposition as Chair
man Legge has met in the farm
board"
He charged that repeated attempts
were made to get him by q group
representing the large centralized
creameries Of this state" and for
that reason he was not reappointed
as state dairy commissioner by
Kitchen.
