was appointed temporary chairman
for the evening. Walter Kruger, Of
Paynesville, a Guernsey breeder,
was named as the temporary secre-
tary. The first item that came up
for discussion at the meeting was
the method under which purebred
livestock was taxed in most Mime
sofa counties. A committee consist
ing of c. L. Arnold, Watkins; JOS
eph Scherer, st. Joseph; and VIM.
Alexander, Rockville, was named
to meet with the township assess
ors to agree on a uniform method
for assessing purebred livestock
and, if possible, secure a lower as
sessment for this livestock than
has been common in years gone by.
The breeders argued that improved
livestock is something Of value to
the entire community even though
purebred livestock may be in the
hands of an individual breeder.
Since this livestock is used by other
farmers in the community to i'm
prove their own stock, the develop
ment of purebred stock should not
be penalized with an excessive sys-
tenn Of taxation.
Bangs disease in cattle was the
next item discussed. The sentiment
Of all breeders favored control of
Bangs disease and most of them
favored a system Of compulsory

Attorney of
Preacher At
Berlin Named

Berlin, Feb. 9 (AP)-The Nazi state
today named an attorney of it's own
choice to defend Rev. Martin Niemoel-
Ter, militant Protestant leader, on trial
charged with. melting to disobedience
and other offenses against the Nazl
regime.
The way was cleared for this turn
of the trial of the arch foe of the
Nazi church program when it deve-
Hoped Niemoeller himself had dismiss
ed the three attorneys hitherto con
Quoting his defense and withdrawn
their mandates.
Secrecy surrounding the trial also
cloaked the pastors motive, but it was
understood the pastor, who had hop
ed to defend himself in full publicity
was gravely disappointed by failure
to keep the chart room open to thu
public.
Repeatedly he told friends if he wa:
to be Judged in secret, he would &C
like Jesus before PLATE and make NJ
