AN AID TO DROUGHT FEED SALES

The Mitchell (South Dakota) Republican has the following
to say, in part regarding the splendid work of the Farmers
National Grain corporation.
action by the Farmers National Grain corporation to see
that plenty of feed is provided for sale in all parts of South
Dakota promises to prevent what might have been a serious
situation. The buying power represented in millions of dollars
in federal drought and crop production loans, will supply a de-
mand for millions of bushels of grain. Unless some adequate
machinery had been provided in advance there was grave danger
that the future would find little grain available when the
farmers are ready to buy it.
The Farmers National Grain corporation has large sup
plies of grain available. 1t can send them in an orderly fashion
to all localities where feed is needed, and it can send the feed
in time.
Being a cooperative organization it is obvious that the
presence of the Farmers Grain corporation in the field will pre-
vent profteering. That is a consideration which should not be
overlooked"
The Farmers National, organized under the Federal Mar
keting act. is now the largest single grain marketing unit in
the world. 1t handled ~187OO0OOO bushels of grain for its
farmer members at a handling charge of close to one cent
per bushel-pai no middlemans commissions and distributed
the grain not only among domestic users but to milers and
importers all over Europe.

HOOVER DEMANDS ELIMINATION FOR ECONOMY

In a special message to congress, President Hoover urged early
action on the bill to permit efficient reorganization of the entire ex
ecutive branch of the government, bringing the subject to the atten
tn of Congress in such an emphatic way that it can hardly be ignored
There is an astounding number of congressional commissions, indie
pendent offices, and Federal establishments carrying on the business
of the government at Washington. According to the congressional
directory there are now in force ninetysix different offices and boards
Every administration creates commissions of one sort o. another
Roosevelt named 1O7 boards and commissions, Taft So, Wilson $50,
Harding A, Coolidge 118. and President Hoover A.
OF the fortyfour commissions set up under the Hoover admins
tration twentyfour were created by Congress. OF the twenty created
directly by the President or upon his recommendation twelve have
completed their work and have been released and only two ire other
than temporary. Only four of those created by President Hoover have
been paid by the Federal government, the remainder either cost moth
ing or rely upon public support.
From the very beginning of his public service President Hoover
has insisted upon the reorganization Of these boards and commissions
not only to eliminate duplication but to bring about drastic savings
of public money.

AFTER REPEAL WHAT?

From The Mapleton MinnD Enterprise)
Most of those who seek a referendum on the prohibition
and repeal of the 18th amendment are emphatic that they DO
not want the saloon system restored. When pressed as to how
they would handle the liquor business they generally point to
the Canadian government control as the ideal. The Boston Hotel
and Travel News says this is no time to shift our policy and
asks the question, What is meant by government liquor control?
It then proceeds to answer by saying: mot the amount of liquor
drunk. for the Quebec Liquor Commission says, Sales of been in
creased 1,00O0 900 gallons over last year Not the sale OF hard
liquor for the same commission reports, Sale of hard spirits
increased 1925 gallons in one year Not the number of per-
sons drinking, for the Alberta Liquor Board reports $4,000 per
mits issued the first year, and $4,000 two years later. Not
drunkenness, for the report of the Saskatchewan Liquor Board
informs us, Arrests for drunkenness increased 1875 per cent
in the first year. and the British Columbia Liquor Board re
ports, AS much liquor sold by bootleggers as is sold in the gov
eminent stores Some Canadians are discovering that instead
of LIQUOR being controlled by the government, the government
is being controlled by liquor"

Discs And Plants
With One Operation

A machine which will do the
combined jobs of preparing the
ground and sowing the seed has
been constructed by Ole Torgerson
of the Bainville community, and
will be used on the owners farm
north of town. BY using a discard
ed box and mounting it on the one
way disc now in use little direct
outlay has been needed for mater
ials.
The drill mechanism is operated
by chains and sprocket wheels from
an old binder. From a small sprock-
ct on the forward end of the disc
shaft the driving power is trans
mitted to a larger sprocket mount
ed on a line shaft and thence to
the drill. By changing sprocket
wheels a wide variation in the rate
of seeding can be effected.
Seed is dropped behind each
blade of the disk and is covered
at once by the next blade.
Mr.. Torgerson has used discard
ed machinery parts and has done
all of the work in his own shop
so the total cost Of the machine
will be negligible. A similar mach
inc constructed five years ago by
Oscar Nelson of the same commun-
ity has given excellent service
and has been the means of reduc-
ing spring seeding time and costs.

The international Harvester com
pany has faith that the price of
farm commodities is going to go
up. It has declared that on farm
machinery notes maturing in 1882
the company will credit the grower
with the difference between the
five day average price of wheat,
corn or cotton and a basic price
of 70 cents a bushel for wheat, so
cents for corn and 5 IL cents a
pound for cotton. For instance, in
order to meet a note of 1920 a
wheat grower would have to sell
500 bushels of wheat at 70 cents.
If, however, the price is only go
cents at the time the note comes
due, the difference between so
cents and 20 cents on 600 bushels
will be credited on the note. The
grower would only realize $3.50 on
the sale, but would be credited
S420 on the note.

A battle over gas rates is on in

travels by pipeline from Texas is
boosting their bills, despite appar-
emily reduced rates. Thirty-one
other Illinois cities have filed pro-
tests with the commerce commits
sion saying that their costs should
be lower. Chicago would like to
work out the puzzle, but the appro-
priation for hiring counsel is used
up, and there is no money to hire

housewives say that If natural gas
is going to cost them more than
the artificial, they don't care for
the natural product.

Triangle Involving New

Plymouth, Mass, Sept. l7.-lPc
Charles Du Bots, wealthy jcweler. dug
his wife's basement tomb while she
sat above and listened, not knowing
what he intended to do.
She wrote to a friend, a Mrs. Gill
lott, that her husband was acting
ouee:ly, that in the cellar he would
dig for days and be strangely ST.
lent when he came up.
It was in this basement grave that
Mrs. Du Bots body was found Friday
night after the jeweler took his own
life By shooting himself with the
same calibrc of bullet that ended the
life of his wife.
Police said Mrs. Du Bots also wrote
to Mrs. elliott that her husband APP
parently no longer loved her and was
like a crazy man over that other
woman"
Du Bots was 80, one year younger
than his wife. His home was in
Tuckahoe, N. Y. The cottage in
which his wife was slain and buried
was his summer residence.
After the body was placed in the
concrete crypt. Du Bots entertained at
gay parties in a bottle-strewn room
only eight feet above his wife's body,
detectives said.
Du Bots, against whom the police
had sought murder warrant in vain
because they had no corpus deficit,
killed himself in a Quincy rooming
house. He had shaved off his smartly
curled mustache and taken the name
Ralph Anderson"
Immediately Assistant District At
torney John v. Sullivan rushed 10
men with pickaxes to the Du Bots
summer cottage near Great Herring
Pond. with orders to demolish it If
necessary in the search. New con-
struction there had aroused his
suspicious.
A few blows of sledge laid open
the funeral vault, strong concrete
box in the cellar. The body lay in
side. wrapped in black cloth. a pillow
underneath the head and window
cord about the waist. Medical exam
nation showed Mrs. Du Bots died OF
a bullet wound about Aug. 10. the day
when police had figured she disap-
peared.
After Du Bots was released last
Monday by a judge who refused to
issue a warrant for him, police ques-
toned Miss Grace Atwood Of Middle
boro, blonde and youthful daughter
of a wealthy manufacturer. They said
she told them she had been friendly
with Du Bots. He had informed her,
she said, that his wife was killed in
an automobile accident in Montreal.
Authorities absolved Miss Atwood Of

ASSERT MEASURE IS
NOT CONSTITUTIONAL
File Action in Supreme Court
to Keep Pay Slash Off
Initiated Ballot
BYRNE NAMED Defendant
Secretary Ordered to Show
Cause Why Proposal Should
Not Be Stricken
BYRNE NAMED DEFENDANT

Legal attack on a proposed Initial
ed measure providing for salary re-
auctions of state officials and en-
ployes was begun in the state supreme
court Saturday with the filing of u
petition for writ of review and
prohibition against Secretary of State
Robert Byrne.
The court issued an order calling
on the secretary of state to appear
Sept. % to show cause why the petit
tions should not be found insufficient
and illegal.
w. G. Preckel, member of the work.
mems compensation bureau. and r..
Van Neste, employe of the state high
way department., brought the action
against the secretary of state.
Byrne has held the petitions for
Initiating the law are sufficient and
unless the court finds the petitions
insufficient the proposal will be voted
on at the general election November
4th.
Scott Cameron, Bismarck. counsel
for Preckel and Van Neste, in brief
filed with the court, alleges the petit
tons are void and insufficient for the
following reasons:
That the petitions do not contain
the full text of the measure proposed
as required by the constitution and
that it attempts to amend the laws of
the state without setting out either
the law to be amended nor the law as
it would read when amended.
That the proposed law is not COM
plete in itself and fails to set out, re.
enact, and publish at length the laws
that are being amended: that the
method of amending by providing
percentum change in the amounts
used in the law, indicating the salaries
of officers and state employees. is IN
direct violation of the constitution.
That the petition is insufficient in
form IN that it embraces more than
one subject.
That the measure. If 1t became a
law, would be in violation Of the con-
stitution in that it refers to persons
and attempts to fix the salary and
compensation only OF persons who
are state employees in the month OF
January. 1882.
That the petition did not contain a
proper and sufficient affidavit.
