STATE WILL TAKE
INDIVIDUAL STAND
IN FREIGHT Fight
Railroad Board Head Says Sep
arate Evidence to Be Offered
for North Dakota

North Dakota will take an individ-
ual stand against the proposal of the
nations railroads for q IS per cent
increase in freight rates and charges.
Ben c. Larkin, president Of the state
board of railroad commissioners. said
on his return from a conference in
Kansas City.
Larkin conferred with representa-
tives Of other public utilities regulat-
ing bodies Of the western railroad
district, A cooperative procedure was
outlined at the conference but Lar
kin said the North Dakota commits
sion would plead its case separately.
The commission, however, will CO.
operate as far as possible with other
states.
The statue creating the state body
states the members shall represent
the people Of the state. Larkin said
he believed the people could not be
fairly represented by joining with
other states, since evidence could not
be introduced for the North Dakota
commission Is an individual group.
The commission, Larkin said, will
oppose the proposed increase on the
ground that railroads In North Da-
kota are operating at q reasonable
profit. The increase would work q
hardship on the state. he said, and
prolong the economic depression.
States represented at the Kansas
City conference included North and
South Dakota, Wisconsin, Arkansas,
Minnesota, Oklahoma, Colorado, Mis-
souri,. and Nebraska. All officials OPP
posed the proposed increase. Larkin
said.
Next Wednesday Larkin and E. M.
Hendricks, rate expert for the state
commission, will attend a hearing
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission In Washington. Railroads
then will introduce evidence to sup
port their proposal, while on Au-
gust 81 opponets Of the increase will
be given an opportunity to cross
examine railroad witnesses and to
submit evidence.
Larkin said indications are that
hearings also will be held in the
northwest, probably in the Twin
Cities. at q later date.

Turkeys and Sheep
Associated Press Photo

Mott. N. D.. July 11.-Farmers
In the Mott district have begun
active warfare against outlaw
dogs which run about in nocturnal
gangs killing fowl and sheep.
Sixty-seven turkeys were killed
by four CANNES a few nights ago
on the H. G.. Thielman farm,
southeast of Mott. Mr.. Thielman
said the turkeys, in the fall, would
have been worth 5000.
Not long ago another Mott
farmer declared that dogs caused
the death of 81 sheep on his farm
in one night. Several other COM
plants have been lodged against
the outlaw CANNES in this dis
trict this year.
Farmers have threatened to
shoot strange dogs on sight.

Farmers In Northwestern Sec.
ton Say Government Plan
Gives No Real Help
MUST BE REPAID TOO SOON
Demand That Money Be Re-
funded Means Ranchers Must
Sell in October
Especial to The Tribune)

Watford City. N. D., July H.
Farmers In drouth- stricken North
western North Dakota Saturday were
beginning to believe that efforts to
obtain relief loans from the federal
government were largely a political
gesture.
The loan blanks issued by the fed
eral office at Grand Forks were re-
ceived here several days ago. Under
their terms, as pointed out by County
Agent e. A. Hendrickson, the loans
must be repaid by October 81, 1881.
This fact, he said, makes the extern
sion OF federal loans a mere gesture
unless the loan conditions are
changed.
In q telegram to Governor George
F. Shafer at Bismarck, Hendrickson
said: Feed loan of no value to ooun-
ty. Will not assist in keeping live
stock. Will force sales in October.
Must be revised for winter protec-
ton"
He said Skaters reply indicated no
knowledge on the part of the COVER
nor that such terms had been incor-
porated in the loans.
The effect of the governments ac-
ton, as pointed out In Hendrickson's
telegram, will be merely to delay the
time at which this stock-raising Sec
ton will be practically denuded OF
cattle, since inability to hold over
foundation stock will prevent replen-
| ishnent If herds nv the process OF
| natural increase next spring.

were fought here with bombs Fri

killed, 20 injured, q dairy plant
wrecked, q barber shop demol-
ished, and another barber shop. a

The haircut price war appar-
emily was not general, but the
milk front included at least two
large companies.
Milton E. McDuff, head Of the
Identification bureau of the po-
lice department., said he believed
the attack on the dairy plant was
made by persons imported into
the city, possibly in connection

President Says Activities De-
press Prices and Deprive
Farmers of Income

Washington, July 11.-(F-Presi-
dent Hoover has again recognized the
plight of wheat growers. this time
charging spectators selling short
with driving down prices and depriv-
ing formers Of their just income.
With wheat at the lowest levels In
30 years and q heavy movement of
the new crop under way, he called
upon them to cease their activities
until the markets have been revived.

dressed to a limited number Of spec

Two weeks ago Hoover. in response
to widespread demands that the farm
board hold the zoe. 5000 or more
bushels Of sterilization wheat off do
mestic markets in an effort to bolster
prices, suggested to the board that "in
view Of the unusual conditions grow
ing out OF the depression" 1t define
its sale policy more clearly.
Vice President Curtis, Senator
Capper, of Kansas, and Senator Wat
son, Of Indiana. Republicans. have
sought to impress upon the president
the need for relief to farmers, who
have witnessed declining prices for
more than q year. Farm organiza-
tions, civic clubs and individuals have
joined them.
Hoover expressed regret he could
not under the law expose the names
Of the short sellers. With emphasis,
he added:
IF I could, I would gladly d. So"
The presidents statement was en-
dorsed by Carl Williams, farm board

ADVERTISING is HELD
. NEED IN FARM SALES
Northwestern U. Professor Says
Appeal to Women Would Aid
Sterilization of Market.

The farm land market could be
stabilized greatly If farm land realtors
would advertise, according to Lloyd D.
Herrold, professor of advertising at
Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill.
Hundreds of single women have
chosen to feed corn to the chickens
rather than feed letters TO a typewriter
SAYS Prof Herrold in the weekly story
issued by the National Association OF
Real Estate Boards.
These women have made a success OF
poultry raising, stock raising and other
types of farming, yet the popular myth
that the modern woman would turn up
her nose at milking a COW has made
many farm land statesmen timid about
approaching women who could be per-
suaded to make farming their life work.
he declares.
The study on farm land appeals"
also, shows women important factors in
selling farm lands to men. Here, too,
says the professor, the farm land agents
have overlooked their importance by
sometimes failing to concentrate on
properties that would be pleasing TO the
farmers wife.
There are five major appeals that get
the farmer on the dotted line, and one
of these is consideration for his wife
in making a purchase that she Will like.
Analysing the attitude Of women to
farm land sales, the bulletin states that
feminine farm land jewellers will not
give up conveniences now looked upon
as essential. that they refuse to move to
farms where their lives will be full OF
drudgery They insist on proximity TO
some form Of amusement a certain de-
gree Of community life, good schools
for their children. and good roads, but
there are more than enough farm lands
with such qualifications to satisfy many
new buyers, says the university man.

Stration Program Advanced
by Party'S Tour.

The group Of specialists of various
lines of house construction and home
building work who comprise the Sill
yer Star Homes Committee, preparing
for the 1881 better homes demonstra-
ton to be sponsored by The Star, spent
a busy day and interesting afternoon
this week inspecting a number of
houses submitted by builders for en-
trance in the program.
The familiarity with the problems
of home building and home ownership
shown by the official members of the
party was evidence of the care with
which they are planning the Silver
Star Homes demonstration.
Undeterred by Rain.
The committee. despite a continued
drizzle of rain that marked the day,
showed no disposition to postpone the
inspection tour and at times plunged
unhesitatingly across the muddy
grounds of the raw soil of the site Of
incompleted house projects in order to
see closely how the work was pro-
crossing.
The committee will meet again next
week to proceed with inspection of
houses submitted for consideration in
the program and shortly will render
decision as to the first house to be
sponsored.
The committee has set a high
standard for house deemed worthy
of public demonstration under spon-
sorship of The Star so that the public
may be invited to inspect houses not
only good in design, plan and all other
phases Of treatment but of exceptional
merit
