OWNER OF DAIRY
FARM CONVICTED
ON BOOZE CHARGE
'Anton Larson Found Guilty in
' District Court of illegal
Possession of Liquor;
Raided by Sheriff.
'Anton Larson, West Center street
'dairyman whose farm was raided by
Sheriff Clark and deputies shortly
after' the prohibition law went into
effect, was found guilty in ' district
court Saturday morning of illegal
possession of liquor. The trial was
conducted before Judge Estelle with
out a jury by agreement between at
torneys for the state and defense.
Eleven thousand bottles of beer and
hundreds of gallons of whisky were
found in Larson's possession, stored
in caves and dug-outs in the neigh
borhood of his!dairy on Center street
road. The dairy farm was raided by
deputies from the office of Sheriff
Clark. Larson said he was storing
the liquor for a saloon man. ;
: The Larson case was the; fourteenth
tried by Special Prosecutor McGuire
within the list two weeks. He was
assisted by Deputy. Prosecutor Ram
ley. v.. v.'-u J '
Convictions in liquor, cases pros
ecuted by .McGuire, are falling thick
and fast at the hands of the jury now
empaneled. Of the 14 cases - tried
during -the .last -two' weeks 11 have
been convicted. ' 1 , ,'
McGuire has another charge pend
ing against Larson under the prohi
bition law. ' :' :
Seedsmen to" Sell Only
; - The Eyes of Potatoes
While it is rare for experts in any
line to agree, the men who speak with
authority about potatoes seem to be
of almost one mind, that no matter
how many eyes a potato seed has only
one of them will make a sturdy,
worth-while plant. And it is well that
the authorities have come into at
least the ion? of agreement, for the
potato growers are far from unani
mous. Some still stick to the ancient
Irish method Of planting a whole po
tato, some make two seeds of a po
tato, others cut for two eyes, and still
others make as many seeds of a spud
as' it has eyes. ": - -" - ;:
The Ohio experiment station, to
settle-the matter definitely, made a
series of experiments running through
five years. Four acres of land were
divided into as many fields, and all
fields were treated identically in the
matter ' of fertilizing cultivating,
spraying and harvesting. One acre
was planted with whole potatoes, one
with half potatoes, one with two eyes
to a seed, and one with one-eyed seed.
At the end of each season the weight
and cost of each sort of seed were
computed, along with the weight of
marketable and cull potatoes pro
duced on each acre. The one-eyed
seed was found to have given the
best results, not only in total output,
but in hardiness of plant. Five years'
repetition of the experiment gave the
same result each year, which would
seem to be sufficiently conclusive to
settle the matter.
But it only verified the wisdom of
a practice largely indulged by small

the war garden propagandists urged
backyard patriots to plant their po
tato peels, cutting the eyes a little
deeper than usual, and thousands of
them obeyed. Reports showed the
peel plants to have been a great suc

many failures, because table potatoes
bought indiscriminately in the mar

the same results as tubers grown,

That is'probably unpardonable to some people
but there are worse things being done every day for
instance, "TALKING ABOUT OTHERS."
: I admit there are a great many "I's" in my announce
ments and I am just vain enough to believe there are a
great many "eyes" reading these articles, too not be

the more they know about me,my methods, my charac

able to judge whether, or not I am worthy, of their con

have seemingly not only cornered the entire stock of ad

LARGE SALARIES
FOR SWIFT FAMILY
From Louis, Who Draws $65,

$15,000, They All Collect
a Slice.
Chicago, March 2. Further testi
mony in support of the contention
of the big packing companies that it
is impracticable to change from a ten
to an eight-hour day because of the
lack of necessary tankage and cooling
facilities in the present plants was
given today in the Vvage arbitration
proceedings before Federal Judge
Alschuler.
In concluding the cross-examination
of Chester S. Churchilh advisory
superintendent of Swift & Co., Frank
P. Walsh, attorney for the unions,
read a list purporting to give the
yearly salaries of some of the officers
of Swift & Co. The list was, in part:
Louis F. Swift, president, $65,000;
E. F. Swift, $40,000; C. H. Swift, $20,
000; L. A. Carton, $27,000; F. S. Hay
wood, $20,000; G. F. Swift, jr., $20,
000: F. A. Fowler, $15,000; Harold
Swift, $15,000; A. P. Collins, $15,000;
C. T. Pryor, $20,000; William Leavitt,
$15,000.
The witness said he had no know
ledge of the salaries of officers of the
company.
In reply to questions by Judge Al
schuler the witness admitted that
wages now paid common labor by
the packers is slightlv lower than the
average paid by other large em
ployers. Mr. Churchill said he had never
considered the cost of living in con
nection with the fixing of wages. He
said Swift & Co. recently engaged an
economist to study these questions.
Four Holidays.
He said the firm observed four
legal holidays Fourth of July, Labor
day, Thanksgiving day and Christ
mas. New Year's and Memorial day,
he said, were observed when possible,
the men seldom, being compelled to
work more than half a day on these
occasions.
Mr. Churchill testified that no Sun
day work was ever done except in
case of greatest emergency. The
company, he said, had a rule against

Chiropractic Talks
ART OF CHIROPRACTIC
, Speaking of Chiropractic as an art,
we deal with the practical application
and demonstration of the knowledge
of relieving human suffering, the lo
cation of the point where the nerve
is undergoing pressure, then tracing
its course from cause to effect or
from effect to cause, and adjusting
the subluxated vertebra which pro
duces pressure on the nerve.
Th aptnal column U located In tho median
Una of tha trunk and la generally termed
the backbone of man. It conalata of 14 Ir
regular bones known as vertebrae; the
aacrum and coccyx. On examining; a aplne
you will find that each vertebra haa an
opening In It for (be aplnal cord to have
pannage through, known as the spinal fora
men. Then by placing two vertebra In
their normal position you will notice a
small opening on either aide. This opening
Is known as ths intervertebral foramen
and Its. purpose is to transmit' (for the
pensage) the spinal nerves which branch
off from the spinal cord. There are SI
pairs of these small openings In the nor
mal spine, one pair between each pair of
vertebras and an equal number of spinal
nerves branching off from the spinal cord
passing through these openings. After they
begin to divide and subdivide these nerves
emerge from ths spins until they reach all
parts of your body so that you can't prick
your akin with even the finest needle with
out touching some of them.
Now, aa long as these spinal bones remain
In their normal position ths Intervertebral
foramen (small openings) through which
the spinal nerves pass, will also maintain
their normal slse and the nerves pass
through without being pinched or Inter
rupted, but a subluxation of one or more
vertebrae will reduce the size of the Inter
vertebral foramen, thereby producing pres
sure on the nerve and shutting off the life
current passing from the brain to all parts
of the body. This Is the primary cause of
all disease and diseased organs. For ex
ample, each nerve as It leaves the spine
carries 100 per cent of life current when
normal, but should a subluxation produce
60 per cent of pressure on the nerve It
would carry only 60 per cent beyond the
subluxation when It Is Impinged, and the
organs and muscles depending upon this
nerve for their supply of life will become
paralysed and Inactive and unable to elim
inate the waste matter rronrt the affected
parts, and deposits of desd matter take
plaoe which makes a favorable condition
for . the germs to . live and multiply and
diseases of all description possible. Thus
It Is understood that germs are not disease
producers or the cause of disease, but are
there only as scavengers and In most cases
become a necessity rather than a de
stroyer. Chiropractors have good results In chronic
esses, yet It Is In acute cases that they get
quick results and sometimes results that
seem almost miraculous. In cases of fever
and Inflammation It la seldom that more
than five or six adjustments ar necessary.
Adjustments give splendid results In the
following abnormal conditions, called dis
eases: Appendicitis, pneumonia, lung fever,
typhoid fever, goiter, asthma, "female dis
eases" tonsllltls, membranous croup, kidney,
stomach and bowel troubles.
Health Is simply a matter ot turning on
the vital forces. People are never too young
to be adjusted. Infants four days old hsve
been adjusted by Chiropractors. 8plendld
results have been hud with babies and young
children. Do not think Chlropractlo la not
good for your particular case. The chances
are out of 100 that it Is.
If you are sick and not prejudiced In.
veatlgate this wonderful science. Don't say
It Is Impossible. That's what they told Mar
coni, Edison and the Wright brothers.
It is easy for a well person to be happy.
The sick suffer and there Is very little
chance to smile and be happy when suffer
ing pain and when one feels depressed
through sickness. There Is hope In Chiro
practic for the sick. Thousands ar being
restored to health through Chlropractlo Ad
justments. Should you consult a Chiroprac
tor It might result In your finding the
health you have vainly sought for. Science
is always on the move. Don't dismiss the
science of Chlropractlo with only a pass
ing thought. Investigate Its merits. Let It
be known to your nearest Chiropractor that
you want mora Information and same will
be forthcoming. Information costs nothing.
A few adjustments will no doubt convince
you that Chlropractlo will remove the cause
of disease and put you In possessloon ot
good health. It you are afflicted in any
way look up the Chiropractor.
Chiropractors adjust the spin and re
lease pinched nerves. Let the patient do
his part. Nature will do the rest and good
health will result.
Next Sunday. Article No.' IT, "Chlro
practlo for Lumbago," will be printed.
Soldier may secure adjustments tree ot

but worked 10 or .11 hours when

made, he said, in consequence of
events in Ukraine which threatened
to interfere with the transportation
of foodstuffs.
