workers and peasants. The Marking
government is actively supporting the
imperialist move to partition China.
Clashes between Chinese troops
and the Japanese invaders are daily
occurring on the Shanghai front,
admittedly in spite of the efforts OF
the Marking authorities to prevent
any resistance to the japanese. The
latter are attempting to hold a large
territory around Shanghai as mill
tary base against the national revo-
lutionary struggle.
A Hongkong dispatch reports large

the Red Army of the Central Chinese
Soviet Government, which controls
most of the Province of Kiangsi
parts of Fukien and other provinces.
The mutinying troops occupied the
towns of Lofau and Yenfa, where
they executed 80 Kuomintang Off

also jailed $50 rich Kuomintang sup

In an attempt to save his face and
exploit the heroic resistance of the
Manchurian masses to the Japanese

demagogic statement that he

attacks of the japanese" Bourgeois
reporters who at first took Chiang's
statement seriously were quickly put
wise by Chang. A Marking dispatch
to the New York Post, reporting
Chiang's latest resistance to the
death" statement, adds significantly
"Asked about the Chinese Gov
ernment's future policy and
whether she was preparing for war,
his answer was an emphatic "NO!".
The dispatch further quotes him
as giving thanks to the imperialists,
and especially his masters in Wall
Street, for their support of the Nan
king government and it's policy, which
is policy of non-resistance to the
imperialists and shameless betrayal
of the Chinese people.

Iodine Fed to SOWs
lnsures Better Pigs


Fargo-No county in North Dako.
ia is exempt from losses due to hair
l~essness and goitre in pigs points out
Prot. Al Severson, animal husband
~ at North Dakota Agricultural
college for the state, as well as ad-
Jacent areas, lies in a district where
there is q shortge of iodine so essen
tlal IN the prevention of such loss
es. This ailmert in pigs, is caused by
a deficiency of iodine in either the
feed or water. Hog breeders of the
state will be well repaid for feeding
some iodine at all times, but espec-
tally during the CESSATION period of
the sow, states Mr.. Severson.
Brood sows should receive one
and one-half grains daily of potas-
SUM iodlGe or sodium iodide during
the last 70 to 80 days prior to far
rowing, or two grains daily during
the last SO days as an absolute guar
antee that their litters will be free
from ~hairlessness and goitre.
On convenient way Of admins
tering the iodine is to dissolve an
ounce OF potassium iodide or sodi-
UNI io1ide in a gallon of water. A
tablespoon of this solution contains
approximately two grains Of the
drug The bottle containing this So
luton should be kept in a warm place
or its contents will freeze.
Another convenient method Of
giving iodine is to thoroughly mix
$40 grains Of potassium iodide or
sodium iodide crystals which is
two-thirds of an ounce troy weight,
with each 1000 pounds of feed us
ed fer brood sows. Five pounds Of
the feed mixture will contain one
and ~six-tenths grains off the potas-
SUM iodide.
A third method used by some
breeders is to mix one-half ounce of
potassium or sodium iodide crystals
with each rs pounds of mineral and
atd two pounds Of mineral to 100

is now Sheridan county was embrac-
ed in that county, and we'll known in
northeastern Montana, especially to
the old settlers here, is dead.
The following story which appear

and untimely death.
HINSDALE, Jan. 28.-The death
of James R. Stephens by suicide at
his Tampico home Wednesday morn
ing removed a pioneer from Valley
county. Mr.. Stephens had suffered
from partial paralysis for some
years and, with no prospect of relief,
it is believed dependency caused the
shooting. He was born Dec. s, 1863
on a farm e Hackett City, Ark,
and due to i'll health and disturbed
conditions in the south following
the Civil war, the reconstruction per-
rod and the Khan warfare, he was I'M
able to get than TO months of
schooling.
Disabled for two years by a frac-
tious horse, upor his partial recovery

way to Texas to become a cowpun-
cher, working succlssively for the
Hashknife, the "W" near Pecos, and
the Mill Iron near Childers, Tex.
At the age Of %, he took a business
and commercial course at Lexington,
KY, and then made his way to Glas-
now arriving May 3, 1893 He had
since, been prominent in business
civic and political affairs Of north
Montana until failing health sever
al years ago compelled retirement to
his ranch.
Mr.. Stephens was appointed cos
toms inspector IN 1901, serving for
nine years and resigaing to u for
sheriff in 1910, being elected and
earning the reputation of being pos
sibly the most effective officer in
the history Of the county.
With settlement of the country,
range conditions become such that
MIR. Stephens cattle and horse
ranching interests had to be curtail-
ed and after a few years he sold ex-
tensive Land interests on Buggy
creek and in Unger coulee, acquiring
Land close to Tampico, where he
made his home up to his death. Mr..
Stephens was married May IL, 1916,
