Former Swamp
Now Farm Land
Payne Investment Company
Completes Albert Lea
Development.
George H. Payne, who Is spending
a few weeks in his Omaha office, an
nounced last week that the Payne In
vestment company’s farm sales In the
Albert Lea district this year, passed
the mllllon-dollar mark.
"The total amount of these sales,”
he said, "Is approximately $1,150,
000.’’
Mr. Payne, who spent most of this
year In the Albert Lea district, where
his firm has done farm land develop
ment work that attracted national at
tention, says there are now 57 farmers
living in the former swamp district
and 79 others have bought land and
will erect buildings next spring.
The development work In the for
mer Albert Lea swmp Includes the
establishment of a towa which Is
known as Hollandale.
Only about one-fourth of the 15,000
acres which the Yayne Investment
company has developed has been sold.
Xone of It Is sold except to farmers
who will develop It.
The land Is now occupied farmer
owners, and that which ia being farm
ed by the Payne Investment company
produced over $350,000 worth of food
stit-* thla year.
.Mr. Payne's friends In Omaha and
In other parts of the country, busi
ness men, editors and others consider
It a remarkable achievement to have
produced this amount of food this
year on land which In 1922 was cov
ered with stagnant water, slough
grass and cat-tails. Omaha men have
Invested about $1,000,000 In the Albert
Eea development.
During the post season farmers
have shipped from Hollandnls more
than 1.000 car loads of potatoes, on
ions, cabbage and celery.
’’We had a demand for more of
these Hollandale products if we could
have grown them,” Mr. Payne said.
“\Ve could have shipped 200 more car
loads of potatoes nlone. Every bushel
of potatoes was sold for seed, bring
ing from R0 cents to 75 cents per
bushel higher than prices paid for po
tatoes for table use.”
The Hollandale celely, Hollandale
onions and Hollandale cobbnge are
shipped to Omaha, Kansas City, Rt
Louis. Chicago and the Twin Cities.
Many of the Hollandale farmers
have gone Into the dairy business and
the cream checks now run over $2,000
per month to ha dairymen In the
Hollandale district.

Allies to Stay
in Coogne Area
Ambassadors Agree on Terms
of Note to Germany
Soon.
By Associated Press.
Paris, IJec. 27.—The allied council
of ambassadors today agreed upon
the terms of a letter to Germany an
nouncing that the Cologne area will
not be evacuated on January 10.
This was the date stipulated
the avacuatlon In the treaty of Ver
sailles, provided Germany had ful
filled Its obligations under the
treaty.' The text of the letter will
probably not be published until It has
had time to reach Berlin.
The ambassadors decided It was un
necessary to settle definitely now the
question of the possible date of evacu
ation or choose between the French
and British viewpoints as to the ad
visability of withdrawing, the British
being reported Inclined to favor evacu
ation after receipt of the military
I mission's complete report.
To Notify Germans.
The essential thing. It was agreed,
was to notify Germany that the evacu
ation could not take place January 10.
The question as to what may properly
be done when the final report of the
mission Is submitted remains open for
discussion when the time comes.
Herr von lloesch, the German am
bassador, who saw Jules Cambon,
French member of the council of am
bassadors before the meeting, Is un
derstood to have reiterated the Ger
man views as to the bad effect non
evacuation would have on the Ger
man domestic political situation.
Security to Allies, Issue.
M. C'ambon, president of the coun
cil, replied that he took note of ,he
observations, but was unable to give
any assurances as to the decisions of
the council, since the question was
not one of domestic politics alone, but
of security to the allies as provided
for In the Versailles treaty.
The ambassadors decided that the
note shall be presented collectively by
the ambassadors of Francs, Great
Britain, Italy, Japan and Belgium, an
as to make It clear to the German
government that there are no breaches
In the allied front on the question of
disarmament.

Shepherd Denies
Typhoid Story
Foster Father of Wealthy
Young Heir Arrives
in Chicago.
Chicago, Dec. 27.—With the arrival
today of Wlllram D. Shepherd, prin
cipal beneficiary In the will of
•‘Billie’’ McCIIntock, the quia Into
the death of-the "millionaire orphan"
Is heightened In interest.
Shepherd, who has been In Albu
querque, N. M., returned voluntarily
after he learned that an inquiry had
been launched and the body of this
foster son had been exhumed for
analysis of the vital organs.
The statement of a bacteriologist,
that Shepherd had Interested himself
In the laboratory examination of
germs of over a period of two year*,
made public at the state’s attorney's
office last night, was denied by Shep
herd while en rout* to Chicago.
The statement was Issued by
George Gorman, first assistant state's
attorney, and was made by F. T.
Breldlgan, now of Battle Creek,
Mich., hut formerly at the Illinois
research laboratory.
Had Blood Test.
Shepherd said he was acquainted
with Breldlgan. He denied he had
Interested himself In laboratory ex
amination of germs, and said h« went
to the laboratory where Breldlgan
was employed to have a blood test
for an anaemic condition on advice
of his physician.
"I am ready to answer any ques
tions that may he asked regarding
the death of my foster son, William
Nelson McCIIntock,” Shepherd said.
"In 1919 I was under the care of
Dr. Oscar Olson, a brother of Chief
Justice Olson. Dr. Olson had offices
In the laboratory where Breldlgan
worked.
"Later on at the hospital I had my
tonsils removed and an operation
was performed on my nose. After
that for several weeks my nose bled
almost continually and I went to Dr.
Olson's laboratory for treatment.
There I met Breldlgan. But I saw
only a few microscopic plates and
as I recall that was of a tubercular
germ. The typhus germ was never
mentioned."
Billie Ix>ved Thera.
Shepherd when asked regarding
the boy's attitude toward him before
hla death said:
"I know he had the utmost love
for Mrs. Shepherd and myself. I
had an opportunity to see a letter he
wrote to Rev. C. A. Nauman, Evan
ston pastor of Saint Paul's Lutheran
church which we all attend.
"In the letter he told of how much
ho loved us qnd said he wanted us
always to have all we desired. He
signed the letter ‘Tour Friend and
Pal.' "
Shepherd was asked what he
really thought caueed the boy's last
illness.
"I think the real cause of hla go
ing," he said, "was due to the strain
of going to business college early
every day and then remaining out
until 1, 2 and 3 o'clock every morn
ing at social functions. He was a
frail boy anyway, and the etraln wae
too much, I believe.
"If It had not been for the money
Billie was worth, nothing ever would
have been said about the cafe."
