SHIPS SEED

Charles Stille, who has a farm
in the fertile bottom land across
the river, shipped 1000 pounds of
alfalfa seed a few days ago to an
Illinois seed house, receiving 1917
cents a pound. In addition to this
he has sold about 1000 pounds to
local farmers. The seed was raised
in 1881, which, in spite of drouth,
was a better seed year than the
last year has been.

Directors of the Farmers Union
Turkey pool of Wolf Point have
hired Mr.. Dougherty to manage
the pool and urge turkey growers
Of western Roosevelt and northern
LcCone counties to deliver their
birds on the specified date and see
their turkeys weighed and graded.
Efficient handling is assured.
Methods

SUGGESTED BY
DRY LEADERS
Florida BOotIeggers Said to
Have Threatened Him For
His Activities

Belief that Col. Raymond
Robins, dry leader who dis.
appeared on his way here from
New York, is the victim of
gangsters was expressed today
by leaders in the organized dry
movement here for the Anti.
Saloon League and national
board of strategy meeting.
Colonel Robins, who is a mem

expected to attend the meeting
tonight at which a stand will be

heard that Colonel Robins had
been threatened by Florida boot
leggers for his activity in that
State.
The Rev. Canon William Chase
of New York, superintendent OF
the International Reform FEEDER

ut looks as though he was
the victim Of organized crime.
'If he was attacked, 1t prob
ably was in New York. He
may be the victim Of criminals
who are allied with crooked
politics and therefore feel per.
fectly safe in carrying on their
operations.

eff 1t develops that Colonel
Robins has been q victim,
think it will have a tremend-
Gus effect upon thinking people
Of the country ana may have q
bearing on the prohibition issue
in the campaign.
THE people are coming to
realize that there can be no
successful organized crime ex-
cept by alliance with crooked
politics.
The dry leaders secuted the
possibility that Colonel Robins
may have stopped off at some
point to make Investigations or
attend to private business. He
was noted for punctuality. they
said, and would not break an
engagement at the White House
or forego attendance at the dry
meeting here.
Frequently Carried Money
He is said to have frequently
carried large sums of money.
Canon Chase disclosed that he
and many prominent dry leaders
have received threatening letters

HOLDS EDGE IN

Margin, However, Is Slight in
Six States Divided
BY AIIeghenies
BY COLE E. MORGAN

Nip and tuck appear to be
running the presidential cam
paign in the lake States Of
Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana,
just as they are on the three
States to the east-Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, and New
York.
The six States which in the
1928 Presidential election cast be-
tween 100000 and $4,000, 900
votes appear so close that it isn't
funny a bit. 1t is a matter that
is giving the campaign managers
on both sides something to worry
about.
Margin Is Scant
Returns to date from these two
groups of States east and west of
the Allegfenies show a difference
of only 422 ballots between PreSi-
dent Hoover and Governor Roose-
velt in the nationwide Presiden-
tial poll Of The washington
Times and other Hearst papers.
Roosevelt has the advantage in
this 422 popular majority. Trans
lated into electoral votes, how.
ever, the advantage is on the
Hoover side. But more than half
OF the Hoover electoral votes of
the area-the ~ Of New York
State-hangs by the slender
thread of II poll ballots.
Centers Shifting
Since the publication of the
poll returns started, New York.

In strange contrast to other
searches for vanished persons,
extraordinary secrecy today was
maintained concerning the far
flung search which the Missing
Persons Bureau was intenSively
directing for Col. Raymond
Robins, noted economist and
speaker.

Received = Threat
That Colonel Robins recently
received a threat. probably from
bootleggers, for his consistent ad-
vocacy of enforcement of the
prohibition law, was confirmed
by his friend. DR.. Fred E. Smith,
of White Plains.
Despite this, DR.. Smith was
disinclined to believe Colonel
Robins was kidnapped or had
met with foul play, although
viewing as extraordinary his act
in failing to keep an engagement
with the President. He said:
1.-THE colonel is a lone wolf.
He IL accustomed to work alone

Of information and to dig IL
up himself. On such occasions
he goes off without saying any
thing to anybody"

Colonel Robins was absent now
