That is the goal of the association and responses so far indicate the possibility of close} to 1,000 birds being entered. That) would put the show into the front} rank of all exhibitions of feathered life in the state. Last year's entrics totaled 555 birds. A. R. Miesen, county agent, who also serves as secretary of the associ-| tion and show, returned home from | the county agents’ conference with} the state extension service at Fargo, last night. When he reached his of- fice, this morning, a lot of mail awaited him and some of it dealt with the show. From now on his spare time will be largely occupied with preparations for the show. Dates Have Been Set ‘The previous dates given out for the exhibition were those first chosen, bu. there has been a change and the show has been reset for January 10, 11 and 14—the chief day being Sat- urday, January 12. The show will be held in the new Storeroom of the International Har- vester company on Main street. These will be fitted out with several hundred new coops, bought with the funds collected by the business men’s drive. They already have arrived in the city from Milwaukee, where they were purchased. This year stress will be placed on turkeys. Last year's show had 115 of these on display and a considerable increase is expected at this time. All extension programs in North Dakota are taking up the expansion and en- couragement of turkey raising. It is the latest phase of poultry produc- tion in the state and has shown lusty Possibilities of growth and profit, an additional advantage of it being that of cash crop and _ diversification. Already the Dakota turkey has won a Place on the market. It has become @ standard fowl. Will Award $500 in Cash To stipulate turkey expansion some special prizes will be offered. One already has been listed, a 30-pound bronze tom offered by Mrs. D. J. Wright, Solen. The special prize list has not been completed, but others are expected from the business com- munity. The general prize total is $500, said Secretary Miesen. Specials will be offered by the American Poultry as- sociation, including gold, silver and bronze medals for champion and grand champion fowls. The C. C. Conkey company, F. B. Chamberlain of the Stacy-Bismarck company, local representative. will offer specials also. Others are coming in from day to day. The show has set aside Thursday January 10, as entry day. Judgin; will take place Friday and Saturday. Tentative arrangements provide for Poultry lectures and talks Saturday, the big day, which also will have a show dinner on the program, to be held in the evening at some local hotel or cafe which has the required accommodations. Will Hold Disease Clinic The talks will deal largely with Poultry diseases and new develop- ments in feeding, handling and mar- keting. Dr. Don McMahon, extension specialist at the Agricultural college, will not only speak on diseases, but will include a clinic on them. Any Poultry growers who have birds with ailments are invited to bring them to the clinic and have their disease diagnosed. Dr. McMahon will give special emphasis to prevention of dis- ease in the flocks, showing various means of Sanitation which can be Practiced in the pens and yards to keep the birds in good healthy form. Some of Speakers ©. J. Weisner, of the Agricultur:1 college, who has been selected to judge the exhibits, will be another speaker. There is a possibility that John T. Dinwoodie, Aberdeen, 8. D., will be here and on the last of speak- ers at the show. He is cditor of the Dakota Farmer and an authority on poultry. There is a possibility also that, as the show period ncars, other additions will be made to the pro- gram, said Secretary Micsen.

SHEEP STUATION S| MADE CHIEF PHASE OF EXTENSION WORK Conference at Fargo With} County Agents Considers Disease Group Meet A. R. Miesen, Burleigh, and R. C. Newcomer, Morton county agent, re- extension chiefs at the agricultural college. The conference considered the general tenor of extension work all over the state, the county pro- grams conforming to this except where conditions are not uniform. The conference was like a conven- tion, said Agent Miesen on his retur: New methods and new material were considered in the aim to keep abreast of agricultural progress and to con- form to the changing conditions of the day, as well as to develop better methods of, operating. The conference discussions, there- fore, linked up to the program which Burleigh county will get under y after January 1. The state extension service has decided to continue at the same kind of a program as year, while here the sheep indu: and the wool pool will be stressed, with proposals for the organization of a lamb pool and establishment of @ ram sale. The conference considered parasite conditions among the sheep of the state, and a special group meeting will be held in the spring to take up sanitation and treatment of sheep diseases, The conference as under the direc- tion of C. F. Monroe, director of ex- tension service in North Dakota. He opened the meeting, and Dr. John Lee Coulter, president of the agricul- tural college, made an address. There were two talks by A. B. Graham, of the federal department of agriculture, whom County Agent Miesen considers one of the most capable and efficient talkers on agricultural topics in the federal service. He discussed the question of whether extension serv- ice paid; also the functions of rea- sonable suggestions in extension teaching. The conference had a visitor in M. W.

There was an attendance of about 100, Agent Miesen said. The nucleus was composed of the county agents, while the remainder were agricultural experts and extension and college staff men. Reape re oe ar re Catapulated by War to Woman’s Field > of Social Service | ° The war changed many lives and altered many careers. The war took Miss Mary Cashel, secretary of the Bismarck Red Cross chapter, from the classrooms of a Minnesota woman's college, and) placed her in social service work in New York. That was in 1918. During this hectic period when the whole world was trying to readjust itself to meatless, heatless and wheat- less days, and to the loss of dear ones on the battle front, Miss Cashel had her first taste of what was expected of the Amervican Red Cross. While working in the eastern area of the United States, Miss Cashel worked at various times with Gover- nor Al Smith, late Democratic candi- date for president of the United States. She is probably the only woman in North Dakota who has en- joyed this privilege. “Do you enjoy your work?” Miss Cashel was asked in an interview. “It is a varied as life itself,” Miss Cashel answered. Those who love living are satisfied with this answer. | The flood district in Ohio, which in | 1922 was as famous and as deplorable s that along the Mississippi in the | flood periods, was another field in | which Miss Cashel saw Red Cross service. “Every day there are new problems to solve. Some are not pleasant, but all hold human interest.” Girls of today are becoming more and more interested in the fields of social service. Colleges are offering extensive courses in the various branches of this work. Miss Cashel was one of the pionecrs in the field, going in “where angels feared to tread” before the transitional period of the World war.

Farmers for Trial VALUE UP 16-23 CENTS / lowa Farm Editor Figures It Out for Benefit of Greater N. D. Association North Dakota can raise corn sue- cessfully. North Dakota is raising livestock successfully. Marketing ex- perts say joining the two means still greater success. They say the way to market corn h greatest profit is to market it in the form of cattle and hogs. Development association, has had his attention called to this recently in with an Iowa who is enthusiastic for “trading corn for livestock.” Between them they considered the potentiality of this method of livestock farming as applied to the Nor st, particu- ch North Da- ed on the fact raw product, livestock finished product. Where corn is grown, as in the corn belt and in‘its extension through the Dakotas into Montana, farmers lead in raising cattle and hogs. This Is Corn, Cattle, Hog Area Year after year, the federal Depart- ment of Agriculture reports that more than three-fourths of the country’s corn is raised in the heart of agricul- tural America, of which this state is From ke is_ estimated that 78 per cent of the 1928 corn crop was grown in this fertile empire of agriculture, while 73 per cent of the hogs and 51 per cent of the cattle are produced in the same vast belt. Corn is the largest of all agricul- tural crops in the United States, in acreage, quantity and value, according to the federal Department of Agri- culture.

Juarez Prepares to Flood Ad- jacent United States’ Boot- leggers Mexican Rum Runners Risk! Lives for $2 Per Day to Smuggle Goods El Paso, Texas, Dec. 20.—(NEA)— Across the sluggish and shallow stream of the Rio Grande lies the Mexican city of Juarez, which is going to be the gatew@ through which most of the Christma3 liquor for the entire southwest will be imported. The officers and men of the vig- ilant U. S. Border Patrol service are on the job; but a stream which can be waded by a man is not much of a barrier, and the rum srfiugglers and bootleggers along the border are pre- paring for a busy pre-holiday season. Getting the booze across is a mat- ter attended by considerable risk to all parties. Risks Life for $2 The actual work is done by Mex- icans from the working classes, who risk their lives for $2 a day. One of these. sallies forth at dusk, a gunny sack full of whiskey bottles over his shoulder, and goes to the shallowest section of the river. There he waits behind a screen of cactus until a light flashed by a confederate on the American side tells him the coast is clear. Then he plunges.in, wades: across, delivers his sack and comes back again—all in 10 minutes’ time. Usually the job is done on a bigger half a dozen or more carriers will zo Here's a view of Sixteenth of September street, Juarez, which has been called “the wettest spot in the world.” Every arrow points to a saloon, not all of which, are visible in this picture.

In addition, a Squad with rifles is posted on the bank on the Mexican side to lay down @ barrage in case the border patrol puts in an appearance. If the officers do show up there are fireworks, quickly and without for- mality.. The officers are required to call “Federal officers—halt!” before opening fire, and usually the first ‘syllable of this eommand is the signal Yor a burét“of ‘fire from the smug- glers. The border. patrol goes armed and is quick on the trigger, and many @ desperate battle has been fought in darkness along the river. The border patrol can hardly be blamed for its quick-trigger ten- dencies. Twelve federal men have been killed and 37 wounded in bat- tles with the smugglers since the pro- hibition; law was established. Nobody knows ‘how many smugglers have been shot. The profits are so great that the smugglers stick to t'g job in spite ‘of all risks. A $10,000 cargo can be transported across in half an hour at a low price. The men who get killed can be hired for $2 apiece. It’s a booming business. *“Wettest S: on Earth” Not all of the ‘liquor comes ‘cross to the Americans; many Americans go across to the liquor. The inter- national bridges here close at 9 p. m., but before that time Americans can cross freely—and hundreds of them do daily, on foot, in street cars and by taxi. Juarez is probably the wet- test spof on earth, and it does a huge tourist-trade.. - One Juarez thoroughfare, with the picturesque name of The Sixteenth of September Street, boasts that it has more saloons than any other street in world. At places there is a bar every across together, each man armed with 20 feet. All the saloons ousted from El Paso by prohibition moved to Juarez, and many other liquor dealers from as far inland as St. Louis and Memphis moved their business to Juarez likewise. Until very recently, Americans could legally buy liquor without even crossing the river. The Rio Grande occasionally changes ts course. In some places it has shifted a mile or more to the south, thus leaving segments of Mex- ican territory north of the river and one such, slap up against El Paso, for years harbored a famous saloon known as the “Hole in the Wall.” This bar, open at all hours, and so close to the business district of El Paso.as to be; to all intents and pur- poses, a part of the city, did a thriv- ing business, with a dance hall and gambling den. “Hole in Wall” Closed The “Hole in the Wall’ became; famous—even notorious. Senor Mun- gia, its proprietor, waxed rich. El Paso authorities protested to Wash- .hgton that the situation was intoie:- able, but nothing could be done. Finally, however, the Mexican state of Chihuahua got a new gov- ernor, and Senor Mungia failed to reach an agreement with him about Display gan Rumor Lady Anne Will Be Future Queen (Continued from page one) shed the greatest glory on the quess was a widower. He took as his second wife, Marianne, daughter of Richard Caton of Philadelphia. Youngest Son Hustled Richard's younger brother, Arthur, was born in Dublin in 1769 and had to go out and hustle for himself as as an ensign in the 73rd British regi- © ment in 1789, and first won great fame by defeating the French arm- ie Duke of Wellington. In 1815 he set the seal on his career by beating Na- poleon at Waterloo and bringing about his downfall, capture and life- long exile. Thereafter he was the undisputed idol of the British people. Even today, the Duke of Welling- ton’s name is one to conjure with. If it turns out that gossip is right and that the Prince of Wales marries Lady Anne, the reaction of all Eng- land will be that she has everything @ queen should have—youth, grace, beauty, wealth and a very disting- uished lineage in which the three great strains of the British Isles are mingled—English, Scotch and Irish. Influenza Is Fatal to Dawson Woman Bessie L. Niles, a resident of Daw- son, died at a local hospital Wednes- day noon. She had been under treat- ment here for epidemic influenza. The body was sent to Dawson on No. 8, this afternoon, for funeral and in- terment. Mrs. Niles was the wife of 8. B. Niles and was 43 years of age. Arrangements for the funeral were not known here. Peter Sorenson Is Laid Away at Tuttle Funeral services for Peter Soren- son, Tuttle, were held at the Tuttle Lutheran church, at 10:30, Wednes- tax payments. So the “Hole in the Wall” was closed. There is, however, another oasis, not quite so conveniently paced but still accessible at all hours of the day or night. At little farther down stream the Rio eee shifted to; the north, leaving a goodly patth of American territory on its south bank. Two bridges connect this land with day morning. The services were con- ducted by the Rev. Mr. Baudel, pas- tor of the congregation. Interment was in the Tuttle cemetery. The pallbearers were O. I.
