Anglin, Hyattsville, Md., were startled yesterday by an explosion in the cellar, ihe ex plosion was caused, Mr. Anglin claims, by dynamite swallowed by a frog which lay dowu too near the furnace. Mr. Anglin says his children, a short time before, were amusing themselves by making dynamite (a quantity of which is stored in the cellar of his home) into little balls and rolling them down a plank. The frog, happening to live at the other i end, caught them in his mout'l. The children tired- of this after a while and the frog, full of dynamite balls, hopped down into the cellar, picked out a soft spot next to the furnace and curled up for a pleasant snooze. The heat of the fire soon reached- the dynamite, a loud ex plosion followed and the frog dis appeared. Organization Of Consumers Is Urged at Meeting Elimination of Long List . of Middlemen Between Pro ducers and Public Would Reduce Prices. Cleveland, O., Feb. 11. A plea for the organization of consumers with the object in view of purchas ing in wholesale lots from the farm ers direct, was made here today Dy Herbert F Baker of Michigan, in an address before the All-Amencan Co-Ooerative congress. "There are no up-to-date figures on the extent of direct trading between farm producers and city consumers," Mr. Baker said.' "It is clear, how ever, that such direct trading, ehmi nating the long series of middlemen, brokers, consignors and reconsign- ors between the original producer of ootatoes and other vegetables, milk, etc., and the city consumer is the most immediate and direct method of securing a better price to the farmer for his products, while sav in ir the consumer a material propor tion of what he pays for farm prod ucts. "In 1914, according to a bulletin issued by the United Mates Depart ment of Agriculture, there were 1.706 co-operative creameries and cheese factories distributed among 39 states, but with two-thirds- of the number located in the three states of Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. There were 871 fruit producers' as sociations representing 42 states. Since that time there has oeen a rapid increase in most jof these pro ducers' co-operative associations, while many co-operative milling nlant have been established, and potato, vegetable and other co-oper ative exenanges nave ucen isi- "A'very large proportionof all these farm producers co-operatives are ready now or will be in a short time to send products in carload lots or in larger quantities directly .to consumers' organizations in cities, if these consumers' organizations have the machinery necessary for the financial end pf the transaction and for local distrlbutioni This is pre eminently the task to which the la bor organizations and farmers co operatives should devote themselves immediately. Such direct trading between the farm producers and city consumers will put millions of dol lars additional into the farmers pockets and save an equal amount to the city consumers. . ' . The main point of co-operation between the producers and consum ers is to get the consumer organized to bargain with the farmers, said the Rev. R. A. McGowan, assistant di rector of the National Catholic Wel fare association. Legislators Support Corrick for Collector Washington, Feb. 11. (Special Telegram.)

C Townley, president of the nonpartisan league, last night before the North Dakota senate committee investigating the recent audit of state industries, demanded an attor ney when the attorney for the com mittee, Edward Sinkler, asserted he was attempting to impeach Brin ton's testimony. In cross examination, of Brinton it developed that many of the loans which he had charged were im properly made to state owned indus tries by the Scandinavian-American Bank of Fargo, were . made before the Bank of North Dakota was opened. ' . Loans Long standing. "From $350,000 to $400,000 of pub lic funds of North Dakota were transferred to Scandinavian-Ameri can bank by the Bank of North Da kota to be loaned to these league en terprises," Brinton declared. "Were not the loans made two vears before the Bank of North Dakota opened its doors?" aske4 Sinkler, reading a list of amounts loaned to state industries, "I could not say," Brinton an swered. Witness Is Reticent. . "You know now and have known that all except $20,000 loaned to the Nonpartisan association long be fore the Bank of North Dakota opened?" asked Sinkler. Brinton was unable to deny or af firm it. , "If you know, why did you testify that these, loans were supplied from the Bank of North Dakota to the Scandinavian-American' Bank and then misappropriated?" Sinkler asked. Brinton did not answer directly, but said "some of the loans probably were made before the Bank of North Dakota opened." Nebraska' Musicians 1 Entertain at Capital Washington, D.

When you get that triple sheet in come tax puzzle from Uncle, get a compass and locate yourself. If you paid 28 cents war tax last year on lemou extract or rouge, jot it down. If you paid any war tax on soda pop at Dinty Moore's place last New Year's eve add it.
