OPEN OCTOBER Ia
Date Is Tentative; Definite An
nOuncement to be Made
Later by Stewart

Although no definite date has been
set, it is generally understood that
the pheasant season in southwestern
Minnesota will open October Is and
continue for either ten days or two
weeks, according to statement
made by Director Stewart of the de-
partment of conservation.
It is also undecided as to whether
the taking of hens will be permitted
this season. The bag limit will In
all probability remain the same as
last year-three birds per day. Full
details will be Forthcoming in early
September.
In this locality there seems to be'
supply of the birds in spite of the
severity of the winter. Ideal breed
ing conditions during the summer,
coupled with an open season of mod
crate length should furnish sports
men some ideal shooting throughout
the specified period.

A great wave of bartering is
sweeping the country.
A shortage of money and &C
cumulations of surpluses in COM
modities have combined to bring
about revival of elemental COM
merce-the swap of one article
for another without the use of
money.
A nationwide survey by the
United Press discloses that bar
tering is a part of community life
in many parts of the United States.
In some localities it is unorganized
and .haphazard, but in others it
enlists thousands in a well-organ-
lied movement.
In Utah farmer trades q bushel
of potatoes for haircut. In
Louisiana farmer boys pay their
tuition in a state university with
farm produce. In Kansas City, a
workman trades his labor for food
and clothing.
In the middle west, barterirrg
and payment in kind" is more
extensive than in the east. Farm
ers are paying for machinery with
wheat and store keepers are ac-
cepting farm produce for mer-
chandise.

PHYSICIAN AND
PATIENT DEAD
FROM MISTAKE

MERCEDES, Tex, Nov. 3. U.D
Victim of his willingness to take
his own medicine" DR.. H. r. Gar
rido is dead.
The 53-year old Mercedes physi-
clan dropped dead after swallow
ing two compounds he prescribed
for Mrs. Lucinda Loya de Candu.
Immediately after she took the
medicine, Mrs. De Candu expired.
You have killed her-you have
killed her." screamed relatives
grouped about the bedside.
"But no." DR. Garrido remon-
strated. 1T was her ailment-
not my medicine. See, will take
the same doses she had"
He poured himself the same
portions and drank them. The
same swift reaction which claimed
the life of his patient brought the
doctor down dead.
Other medical men testified the
two prescriptions reacted to each
other to form a deadly poison.
Taken half an hour or more apart,
they said, the chemicals would have
been harmless, counteracted by
gastric juices.

it was "the concern of every Am

success of the conference for the
reduction and limitations of arm
aments to help reflect President
Hoover"
1t was the Hoover plan, calling
for abolition of aerial bombing
tanks, heavy mobile artillery
chemical and meteorological war
fare, and one-third reduction OF
other war implements and effec-
tives, that galvanized the confer
ence into new life," Miss Woolley
declared
ut was the most constructive
proposal made to the conference
during its six months" she contin-

Miss Woolley said President
Hoover and Secretary Stimson had
supplemented" the Kellogg BRAND
peace pact by making it the basis
not only of the Hoover disarma-
ment plan but also of American poll
