Copies of the new milk ordinance were issued by Mr. Ecklund during October to 31 dairymen and dairies and all of them appeared to be given instructions in the various provisions of the ordinance and on methods and equipment for producing wholesome milk, The advantages and necessity of the tuberculin test were pointed out and all applicants advised that this is now compulsory. Conference with Dr. W. F. Crewe, director of the Livestock Sanitary Board, resulted in the certifying and testing of 26 herds, a total of 889 cattle up to the present time, Mr. Ecklund said in giving the board credit for “their immediate response to my call for assistance.” Each of the 32 dairies delivering milk into Bismarck should be “in- spected, their methods and equipment | checked and three samples of milk | taken for grading. purposes, stated Mr. Ecklund, adding that “it. is ob- viously impossible for, me to leave the office to de this part of the work.” DAIRIES ‘ cent of the 725 Permits Issued Permits have been issued to the| Bridgeman-Russell company and the| Bismarck Dairy company, both of | whom have complied with all regu- lations and whose milk tests Grade| “A,” according to Mr. Ecklund.

CUTTERS MAY FREE ENTIRE LAKE FLEET; 10 Vessels Have Already Been Liberated and Men Hope ox to Save Others Sault Ste Marie, Mich. Dec., 7. —()—The entire up-bound fleet of. coal carriers, trapped in the ice here since December 1, was mov- ing at 11 o'clock this morning, the United States coast guard an- nounced. The movement began when two vessels started under their own power in the wake of tugs. The remainder of the upbound fleet immediately went into motion be- hind the lead vessels, Sault Ste. Mari Mich., Dec. 7—() —With 10 vessets liberated from the upper seetion of the St. Mary’s river channel, where more than 40 of the| hi ,| fleet of lake carriers held fast in the ice bound river are located, cutters today were slowly hacking a lane down river through which it is hoped eventually to free the. entire up- bound fleet. With good luck, the cutters shouta be able to free three more ship im- prisoned near the head of the chan- nel today, said Alton Cornwall, man- ager of the Great Lakes Wrecking company, in charge of the rescue operatons, The liberation of 10 vessels last night has led officials to express the opinion. that the group held in the upper chunnel must be freed by the end of the week. Officials were more pessimistic re- gurding the prospects of the down- bound fleet of more than 70 ships held in the lower channel. Rescue Boats The giant car ferry Sainte Maric, after failing yesterday to make any appreciable progress in carving a lane in the lower channel, returned here for coal and supplies and put off for another fling at the barrier. A steel government cutter, assist- ing the Sainte Marie, sustained a damaged bow and a crumpled pro- peller while buckling the blockade yesterday, The work of. rescue is proving a severe strain on the ice breakers as well as their crews. After plugging away at their task for several days all the ships are badly battered by the numerous charges against forma- tions which jar them from stem to tern. On several occasions boats have ‘left the water entirely in their chal and slid up and over the ice until, ‘perched. high and dry. On those occasions it has been neces- sary for tugs to pull them back in- to the water. The- crews of the marooned ships are standing by and keeping up full steam for an occasional lurch and strain ‘inst their shackles.

Clara’s body, rescued last week from a crude grave in a hillside wil- derness, today receives Christian bur- ial in a little church yard cemetery, the closing scene of the visitation of tragedy upon the rugged and peace- ; ful hills of southwestern Wisconsin. Erdman, sweetheart of Clara and son of @ wealthy tobacco planter, was named as the slayer late yesterday, The coroner’s jury concluded, after hearing a letter sent to Clara by the youth on the day of her disappear- ‘ance, that Olson deliberately plotted: her death, bringing her from her ‘home with a pretense of marrying her before she became the mother of a babe she was expecting. Evidence Presented The inquiry developed that Clara disappeared September 5, and that a posse found her body buried in a astily dug grave, half a mile from Erdman’s home, December 1, The in- quest also brought out that Erdman Olson, whose 18 years were four less | than those cf his sweetheart, had at- | tended a dance at Seneca, three miles from Clara’s home, the night of Sep- tember 9 und that he had driven to | the girl’s farm home at about the hour she vanished. This evide was crowned, in a sensational ax to the inquiry, with introduction of a letter found in the girl’s dress when the body was recovered. It was from Erdman to Clara, outlining plans for their flight and marrige, and instructing the girl to meet him at: the dance if she could, or in front of her home at mid- night September 9, if she could not be at the dance. Follows Instructions He told her to “Bring all the money you can if you want to make a nice trip of it,” warned her to burn all letters, and cautioned her that “if you do not do as I say your chance will be shot and I might be a scarce hubby.” Clara, testimony indicated, obeyed him to the letter, and went trusting to her death. The theory of State's Attorney G. H. S. Earll is that the boy planned the crime carefully, dug the grave before he went to the Ol- son home the night of September 9, and then carried the girl, after he met her, to the spot where the grave was prepared, clubbing her to death and burying her body. ‘ TO QUESTION WIDOW ABOUT MAN'S MURDER Authorities Turn From Gang- ster Theory to Arrest Wife of Slain Detective Oklaboma City, Dec. 7.—(4)—Mrs. Luther M. Bishop wag held in the county jail today for questioning in connection with the slaying Sunday of ‘her husband, Luther Bishop, a state detective known throughout the southwest for his activities in break- ing up bandit gangs. Discovery of the two pistols, which Bishop wlways carried or kept near him in his home, resulted in the ar- rest of Mrs. Bishop yesterday and caused county authorities to turn from the theory that gangsters en- tered the house asthe family slept and shot the detective to death, after taking the fire arms. The pistols were found by a coron- er’s jury in an oatmeal container. One hed been fired six times and the other twice.

Permanent Unwarranted In the face of the estimated treas- ury surplus, the chief executive said there was “no reason wh; not be applied to faa method of meeting the situation taxation,” but he contended that any permanent reduction would not be warranted at this time with the gov- ernment conducting a going business of nearly $4,000,000,000 annually. “Meantime,” he added, “it is pos- sible to grant some real relief by a simple measure making reductions in the payments which accrue on the 15th of March and June, 1927. I am very strongly of the conviction that this is so much a purely business matter that_it ought not to be dealt with in a partisan spirit. x x x “These are my convictions stated with full knowledge that it is for the congress to ,decide whether thty judge it best to make such a reduc- tion or leave the surplus for the present year to Be applied to retire- ment of the war d That also is eventually tax reduction.” In working out the surplus farm crop problem to ary sound conclu- sion, he advised that it was “neces- sary to avoid putting the govern- ment into the business of production or marketing or attempting to enact legislation for the purpose of price fixing.” “It is unfortunate,” he added, “that no general agreement has been reached, by the various agricul- upon any of the pro- Out of the discus- sion of A sags proposals which can be had before the committees of a: riculture some measure ought to be perfected which would be generally satisfactory.” Recounting the efforts of his spe- cial cotton committee to aid south- ern producers, the President said: Cooperates “As a result of this seteeenon sufficient funds have ben. pledged to finance the storage and carrying of 4,000,000 bales of cotton.

GROUP MARKET IS ANSWER TO FARM PROBLEM Iowa Profesuor Deplores Fact That ‘Big Potatoes’ Are Leaving the Farm Chicago, Dee. 7—@)—The “big po- tatoes” ure leaving the farm, with “little potatoes” alone remaining as seed for future America’s crop of farmers. This was the thought sown at the American Farm Bureau Federation convention today - by Prof. Macy Campbell, head of the department ‘of 1 education at Iowa State Teach- College, Cedar Falls, Iowa. ‘We need not be concerned about the departure of many young people from farm communities,” said Prof. Campbell, “that is a wholesale eco- nomic readjustment. , There is not room on the farm for every boy and girl born there. What is of vital concern is the fact that is the big potatoes that are going, leaving the little potatoes to be the parents of the next generation in the farming industry. “Rural life at present is pale and weak. It staggers. It is being bled white by Hookworms—the hookworm of mortgage indebtedness, the hook- worm of the depreciated farm dollar, the hookworm of absentee land- lords.” Professor Campbell said that the farmer “sells his commodity at the other man’s price, 4nd buys his necessities at the other man’s price.” The farmer ig at one end of the trade, he said,.and “organized labor, organized capital and organized pro- fegsions at the other.” Group marketing, he said, is the answer to the farmer's problem.
