For the accommodation of second story commuters, a number of en- tcrprti-thK street corner news vendors have equipped themselves with poles. at the end of which are fork-like contraptions into which the papers are ptnehrd. Little boxes are at tached for the coin. The newsboy hands the paper up to his second- story customers: with the aid of the pole, and these deposit their "irrnshen" (two and one-naif cents) in the coin box. SUGAR BEET TEST MADE AT HUBBARD Hubumd. Nov. 21 C. M. Critten den, postmaster, is on the lookout for the fanners of tills section. Hav ing understood that the soil here was particularly adapted to the RiowiiiK ot susiar Deeis wiin a view of producing seed crop for market ing, he procured seed from Bellinp- hara and this was planted by Frank Initfls.

POTATO AND CORN HARVEST UNDER WAY Brooks, Nov. 19 Many farmers of Brooks and vicinlt.- have been busy harvesting potatoes and corn. There are many potatoes In this part of the country, and they are much larger than they have been in previous years. The soil In this sec tion is well suited to potatoes. and when given proper care the business can be made very profit able. The most popular kind of potatoes raised here is the Burbank variety. Corn Is not raised here In such abundnnce, but It Is being raised more than in previous years. It is believed that In the future com will be raised extensively, for the farmers are beginning to under stand more about growing It. G0AT"RAISTNG NEAR HOPEWELL PROFITS Hopewell, Nov. 21. The raising of Angora goats has been tested, and found profitable on the hills out here. Some arc rasing them in the lower land, but the hills, where an abundance of briars and other herb age abounds, are found better. They do not need much attention, and. excepting the occasional foray of bandit dogs, the mortality is very low. Howard Stephens has the larg est number here, having a hill ranch of large area which he devotes to goat culture. They are more gentle and not so offensively arrgresslve as the Toggcnburg and other varieties. Tl'KKKYS ARE SOLD Hopewell, Nov. 21. Turkeys are beginning to move from here to po tential Tlinnksgiving markets. Mrs. Alice Stephens delivered a large number to Portland markets Sat urday and the Carpenters have sev eral nice orders for dressed birds. Altogether, several hundreds of choice hens and gobblers will be de livered from the Hopewell ranches. Gambling at greyhound races was ascribed bv Roland Wilkinson, a coal merchant of Leeds. England, bj the cause of his becoming Insolvent. More men are now working on new buildings in New Zealand than are employed in any other Indus try there.

The premier denies that he came Into power by force. 'The liberal party has affirmed constantly that Rumania can pros' per and develop only with the he reditary monarchy," the premier .old The Associated Press corre. spondents. Reports that he as dic tutor desired to establish a repub lic, M. Bratianu characterized as fantastic. "I did not come Into power by force but at the wish of a man whose competence has never been questioned King Ferdinand who, realizing he was dying, believed the government would be safer In my hands than any other," he said. All attempts to overthrow the re- gency, which rules for the six year old King Micnaei, will tail, the premier said, and It will run Its allotted course of 12 years. There was no friction between himself and the regency, he de clared, saying "the fact that the liberal government Is In power is sufficient proof that It enjoys the confidence of the regency, which has the authority to make or break governments." Asked IX former Crown Prince Carol, who Is in exile in France, would be allowed to return as re gent or king, should the people so desire, M, Bratianu replied: It does not depend on my will or that of any other person. The con stitution expressly prohibits any modification of its text during the minority of the present sovereign." strikers were arrested and placed In jail at Trinidad. The strikers were shot when they stormed through the gates of the Columbine mine on the Rocky Mountain Fuel company In Weld county about 30 miles north ot Denver. Nearly 500 strikers gathered out side the mine about & a. m. They were met at the gates of the mine by touls N. 8cherf, chief of the state law enforcement department, and a dozen of his men. The strik ers were commanded to halt, bul surged through the gate and en gaged In hand-to-hand conflict with the guards. The police used their guns as clubs, but were over powered by the strikers who used rocks, clubs and knives. Scherf rallied his state men and they with drew to a position further in the property. As the strikers approached again Scherf warned them to stop and fired two shots over their heads. The strikers continued their ad vance and the 6tate officers leveled their guns directly into the strikers and opened fire. After nearly a score had dropped, the strikers fled precipitously through the gates. Longmont, Colo., Nov. 21. UP) Six striking coal miners who were shot this morning, by state police, are dying In the Longmont hospital.

The strikers then beat a hasty retreat taking many of their wounded with them. Later they erected a white flag over an auto mobile and returned for several more wounded. One troop of cavalry, two armored tanks, one headquarters company, four companies of infantry and a medical detnehment were ordered out for strike duty by Colonel Paul P. Newlon, adjutant of the state guard. Disturbances also broke out In southern Colorado, but there were no casulties.

These three, according to Walter O. Walker, a special assist ant state's attorney, who has been conducting the Investigation, were "marked for mayhem" by the rack eteers. Their fingers were to have been battered so that they could no longer do their work. Walker said. Maj hem as a terrorist weapon has evolved, the police pointed out, from slugging, window smashing and bombing, all three of which have been employed by outlaw organizers to force stubborn workmen and tradesmen to Join their organiza tion. "Sluggings were used at first to fill the ranks," Walker said. "This proving Ineffectual, window smash ing was employed, and then bomb ing. Property damage by window smashing or bombing usually proved only a temporary scare. More often than not, the damaged property was owned by the man the organizers sought to Intimidate. "The records of men now found in the various 'rackets' show that many of them started out as petty police characters, went into bootlegging when money was to be made, and now are In the profitable racketeer movement. The record of McLaugh lin Is typical of many others." McLaughlin probably will recover. He was shot when he tried to escape the police net. Attics is to be the subject of a grand Jury Investigation this week, Walker said, with Kom- asa, the Intended victim of the tor ture, as the chief witness.
