~ COMMUNISTS IN GERMANY PLOT Seized Documents Disclose Plans Are Projected for Organ- ized Murder. NEW TACTICS ARE ADOPTED Agitators Are Fattening on Proletari- an Funds, Some of Which Ema. nate Directly From Bolshevik Russia—Plots Disclosed. ) Berlin.—Communists of -a dangerous type are afoot in Germany. Their plots for the winter are coming to light. These range from mild dem- onstrations to organized murder. And, 7 while leaders are innocently declaring that the intentions of both independ- ent eoclalists and communists are peaceful, the government is constantly rounding up documents proving that at least among certain groups of com- munists there exist plans of the blood- fest nature. Government disclosures leave little room for doubt that some of the wilder spirits among the Spartacans proposed to form a murderbund that would do away with political opponents. Dire Work Projected. For instance, Munich newspapers, Prussian Minister-President Hirsch and the military are authority for rev- elatlons in the closing days of Sep- tember, showing that, among other things, the Spartacists planned the following : (a) To do away with a large num- ber of officers and soldiers in Munich, slaying them as they slept; (b) that a group of réds from Munich proposed’ to blacklist a number of prominent of- ficlals, draw lots, and then “put away” the- condemned; (c) that, particularly fn Munich, plans were afoot for créa- tion of red “shock troops,” to use against the regular military—partic- ularly against monarchist officers; (d) that, in cases of demonstrations, wom- en and children were to be put in-the fore ranks to shield the cowards be- hind from the machine guns of the government troops; (e) that the com- munist government should ally itself with the anarchist-syndicalist groups. All evidence at hand in the last few weeks has shown quite conclusively that the Spartacists and the independ- ents were endeavoring to prove con- clusively to Germany and to the world that they had moderated. Certainly, in general, they adopted a new course of tactics from that pursued last win- ter and spring, when rioting and blood- shed were the order of the day. Their new course appeared to consist in fo- mentation of strikes and other intern- al troubles with a view to embarrass- ing the government and hampering the mational life that the existing regime would. be overthrown. Now, however, the evidence of the government con- tained in documents seized from im- prisoned Spartacists shows that where- as sabotage and kindred weapons P were probably favored by the bulk of — . the communists, there was another group that believed in “direct action” of the worst sort. The murder of Government Inspector Blau in August led the government to probe even more deeply than before iato the secret workings of the com- munist group. Many Arrests Made. This general Investigation led to a number of arrests. including the haul at Halle, wherein about a dozen of very radical stripe were captured. It-also proved to the government’s satisfac- tion that Blau was killed by reds. Munich continues to be a fruitful source of communist agitation. Some of the reddest of the reds have their headquarters there. From these head- quarters issue secret orders which ev- ery now and then fall into government hands and prove that not only are these agitators willing to harm, and even halt, the national industrial life, but have no really sincere desire to benefit the laboring man. Instead, It has been shown, the agl- tators are fattening on proletarian funds, some of which emanate directly from bolshevik Russia and others of which are collected from the “breth- ren” in Germany, Austria and Czecho- Slovakia. Part of the program of these agita- tors s to give their course an, air of respectability by recruiting “intellect- uals.” i Woman Dog Catcher. Denver, Colo.—“The only woman dog ! catcher in the world” is the title ap- plied to Mrs. Laura Dietrich, deputy pound mistress at the dog pound here. Mrs. Dietrich is highly efficient in the unusual role, according to William C. Fox, superintendent, . who declared that he had misgivings at first as to the advisability of securing a woman for the position, as he thought it would be too difficult. “However, I soon discovered that dogs resist a woman much less than a man,” he said. “They are handled by Mrs. Dietrich with much less trouble than by a man.” Pearls In Oysters. Beloit, Wis.—Forrest Wilson bought & quart of oysters for 50 cents. Wheén eating them he bit on something hard and found it to be a pearl. A few seconds later his son had a simllar ex- perience.. .. The stones had.not been ¢cooked enough' to harm them. The largest one is worth $50 and the small- or $10, making $60 in two bites. ‘THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER g * FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 26, 1919 el B WOODLOTS SAVE COAL* i Many farms are well equipped for supplying the fuel which is needed for cooking purposes and ¢+ thus saving coal.

These blundering, awkward beetles, of which the chickens and birds are so fond, are the parents of the corn pest known as the “white grub” which feeds on the roots of the plants and destroys them. - Millions of them are destroyed in spring by hungry birds and myriad others go down to death in swarming around the arc lights of a city. They are so sensitive to light that a flame, miles away, will attract them. It takes three years for one of these beetles to develop from the egg. The beetles deposit their eggs in meadows and sometimes in cornfields. The tiny grubs which emerge from the eggs de- velop into thick, fleshy, white grubs which are also much sought for by birds. When matured they are fully one and one-half inches long. Luckily for Mr. Beetle, the, grub spends most of his three years in the soll out of the reach of enemies.

" s All corn is apt to suffer from them but owing to the habit of the beetle in depogting its eggs in meadows, corn that is planted in newly turned sod is more apt to suffer from these pests. The best way to destroy them is to plow and cultivate so that their natural food Is destroyed and they are starved to death before planting the field. Some farmers let the chickens follow the plow and destroy hundreds of them in this way. SUNFLOWER TO MAKE BUTTER Novel Experiment to Be Conducted at Kansas Agricultural College With Noxious Plant. “Sunflower butter” may. become & popular trade name as a result of an experiment running at the Kansas State Agricultural college. X Bossy. is to be given a dlet of sun- flower silage for a number of weeks, a close; record of her pllk production be- ing kept during the test. If ske does better, or as well, as sister cows: who are subsisting on sorghum: or: corn silage, college experts believe that the status of the sunflower, Kansas' most persistent weed, will be changed to that of one of the state’s most useful plants. ‘ _A silo at the experiment station has been filled with the common wild sun- flower, the state flower and inspiration of Kansas poets. The feeding test will be started in the near future. Dairymen are hopeful that sunflow- ers may prove of value In making but- ter as well as poetry. . . VALUE OF MELILOTUS PLANT| Heretofore Regarded as Weed and Nuisance Is Now Hailed as Im- pertant Farm Crop. - Sweet clover, otherwjse known as melilotus or bee clover, has been com- monly regarded as a weed and a nuisance, but experiments made by practical farmers to determine its adaptability to various climates, its feeding value qu its effect upon the soil, have shown it to be an important farm crop. It thrives in great extremes of tem- perature and grows readily in soils too poor for alfalfa and where other grasses failed to produce a crop.

Miss Smith had taught school as usual on Friday and spent: Saturday evening at the home of Charles Kling, where she had met with some of the young people of the vicinity and returned home about 10 o’ciock, and died early next morning. Miss Smith was a teacher of the first/ class and was very mucn beloved by all who knew her. She was a devout Christian and was ever doing some- thing for the moral uplift of com- munity in y(hich she lived. Mrs. Hamilton returned home Wednesday night, suffering from a deep bronchial inflammation. Dr. Davis was called on Thursday.

IS AIRMEN'S PATRON SAINT Michael, With His Wings and Spear, 1s Peculiarly Qualified for That High Pgsition. It'was the wing of St. Michael, chiet' of the archangels and head of the ce- lestial ‘militia, which Jeanne d’Arc heard, they say, whirring about her in the little garden of Domremy when she had her softly spoken but insistent call to arms. ~ And mow, as if it were not enough to be the one who called Jeanne d’Arc from Domremy to Rou- en, St. Michael is also the patron saint of aviators, because he heads ce- lestial warriors and battles in the air. In a London church on Spanish place—the church to which King Al- fonso went when he was there— there is a new stained window with an airplane mosaicked into its design, and that window is dedicated to St. Michael, patron saint of airmen. St. George met ‘his dragon on the earth, but St. Michael battlad with the devil and his angels in the celestial spaces and threw them out of heaven. With his wings and his spear he was the great prototype of the armored air plane, and it may be that even the in- spiring Jeanne d’Arc did not satisfy him and that he has always kept In his mind this time when men should fly and fight as he did.—New York Eve- ning Post.

The animal has in- creased in height, while others have shrunken and disappeared; but the fossil remains of horses, only a few tnches high, whieh rodmed our planet at least two millien years ago, are almost perfect models of the ex- isting type. The most marked change has been in its feet. Beginning with five tees to eaeh feot, the horse met changing conditions by occasionally shedding a toe, and is mow the only ene-toed mammal known to natural- ists.

Maxi- mum service 1s the only foundation upon which Big Business may rest securely. "It is this ideal which has impelled the Company to ceaseless effort in multiplying the number of products produced . from crude petroleum each to fulfill a definite, useful service — not to the few, but to humanity. ’ Only private initiative and enter- prise,willing to hazard time, money, ingenuity, andeffort to gain a prom- ising but uncertain benefiit, could - have developed the many products manufactured by the Standard Qil Company (Indiana) for the service of the people. - In the conduct of its business, the Stand- ard Oil Company (Indiana) always has recognized the four fundamental interests in all industry—capital, labor, manage- ment, and the public. Because of this, and because it has striven to prepare every product as nearly perfect as ingenuity, integrity and earnest effort can make it, this Company has been able to approximate its ideal of the greatest service to the greatest number.
