Divcrsiication today is accepted as
sound farm practice. One OF the first
to advocate conserving the fertility OF
the soil, rotation Of crops, and raising
of more and better livestock was
James ]. Hill, founder Of the Great
Northern Railway.
But in those days these ideas weren't

tion introduced in the Minnesota
Legislature condcmning Mr.. Hill for
preaching doctrine that would be
rlinous to the Northwest.
The Great Northern Railway has
never regarded railroading as merely
q matter of building railroads and
running trains.
From the very beginning one Of its
most important departments has been

Earthquake Weather

The expression, earthquake
weather, is not generally recognized
by meteorologists. The so-called
earthquake weather is described as
still, sultry and humid, conditions
which are generally related to high
air pressures. Some authorities be-
heve that there may be some rela-
ton between changes in pressure
and earthquakes, although this is a
matter which has not been definitely
proved.

The phrase struck with fiendish

yesterday had she read in the news

Guy attorney, were booked on SuS-
picion of grand theft and suspicion
of soliciting the commission of a
crime.
They were taken into custody
last night at the home of William
P. Mcneil. While investigators
waited in hiding and a dictograph
recorded their conversation, Nc
Neil handed Mrs. Werner an en-
velope whihh he claimed was sup
posed to contain $4,000. Part of
1t, he said was a bribe to free him
from a grand theft prosecution he
faces.
Its a frameup," insisted the
Werners.
Deputy District Attorney Eugene
Williams said Mcneil notified him
of being approached by the Wer-
ners. Mcneil said, according to
the prosecutor, that he was to pay
$4,000. Of this, Mcneil said $25O0
was to be used in an attempt to
bribe Chief Deputy District At
torney William Simpson to dismiss
the charges Mcneil faces, and $500
was to go to Mrs. Werner.
Williams installed dictographs in
McNeil's home with stenographer
in the basement listening at the
earphones. He ordered Mcneil to
hold several conversations with the
WernerS. Then Mcneil was to give
Mrs. Werner an envelope contain
ing two 81 bills and a thick pad
of blank paper cut bill size.
This was done, Williams charged,
and he said last night Mrs. Wer-
ner accepted the envelope while
her husband waited in the next
room. Investigators took them into
custody and retrieved the envelope
as the couple was leaving the home.
