(MY SHORTAGE CAUSE
i OF 1 ACTION IN
DISTRICT CDUflT
I An erho of the hay shortage of a
year ago was heard in iho district
I court when the case of Hansen Live-
stock S- Feeding company vs. Otto
I Meek and the Ogden Sale company,
came up for trial, in which a decision
baa JUSl been handed down by Judge
Pratt . w hi-rein he awards the Hansen
Livestock & Feeding company a judg
ment for $1605.24.
In February, 1917, the Hansen Live
stock & Feeding company entered into
a contrai l with the defendants for the
purchase of 300 ton? of lucern ha v. .it
Deitrlch, Idaho, at $14.50 per ton the
hay to be shipped to Ogden as rapidly
as cars could he obtained. It appears
that the defendants shipped approxi
mately 187 tons and failed to ship the
balance of 'he 300 tons, and the Han-i-en
Livestock & Feeding company was
compelled tb go into the open market
and purchase hay at whatever price it
could obtain for it, and because of the
shortage of hay at the time, the com
pany was compelled to pay at high as
$32 per ton, thereupon, through iheir
attorneys Chei & Stine, they instituted
litigation against the defendants for
the difference, and judgment has been
awarded by the court.
In the same action the defendants
et up a counter-claim, alleging that
they rented their stockyards to the
plaintiff in the year 1917, and asked
judgment in iho sum of $4030.25 for
i he use ol -aid stockyards, which the
defendant, Ogden Sale company alleg
ed, was tin reasonable value thereof,
but the court in his decision, allowed
them on their counter-claim, the sum
of $5S1.67.

"Our Boys" standing in the trenches
?uffer from trench feet Where their
feet crack and the socks become im
bedded therein, the work of extrac
tion is torture of the worst kind in
case the socks be of the lock stitch
pattern. While the home-made, which
unravels so easily, is much better for
the boys. Neckties and scarfs are nice
and shows the kind of disposition of
the nature, but the same amount of
energy in knitting socks will do much
more to alleviate pain and suffering.
Knit, Knit. Knit with care,
Knit for the soldiers everywhere.
Our boys in the trenches need your
work.
Knit for our brothers, do not shirk.
Standing hours in mud and water.
Every mother, every daughter,
Can't you see their swollen feet?
Won't you give our boys a treat?
Won't you help to save their henlth?

were traveling through the country by
the "side-door Pullman" method and
that they had been in Ogden for a
couple of days. They are being held
by the police pending investigation in

among the 650 employes, though a few
names have not yet been added to the
list of bond buers.
The Southern Pacific road reports
this morning that it has subscriptions
for 1217,000 for the Salt Lake divi
sion, about $80,000 of which will be

much of his important railroad work
has had to be delegated to subordi
nates Each morning his desk Is piled
high with applications that have come

sion had hopes now of reaching the
$250,000 mark by tomorrow nicht,

CAPTAIN FACES
COURT-MARTIAL;
Refuses to Obey Command of
a Superior Officer Race
Question Involved.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark , April 26.
I The case of Captain E C. Rowan, of
Bogaluan, La., on trial before a court
martial here on charges of refusing
to obey the command of a superior of
ficer, was in the hands of the military
authorities today for decision. It was
expected that the court's finding
would not be announced for some time.
The case is said by Gamp Pike au
thorities to be one of the most impor
tant in the history of the national
army because of the race question in
volved. Captain Rowan, it was
charged, refused to order his company
out for a brigade review. On the wit
ness stand at the concluding session of
the trial yesterday, Captain Rowan ad
mitted the charge but said be was ac
tuated by the belief that if he com
pelled his men to participate in such
a ceremony they would see negroes
intermingled with white men
Several witnesses, officers and men,
testified that there had been inter
mingling of the races at tho depot

DRAMA LEAGUE CENTRE
MAT BE FORMED
i OGDEN
A I 'Tama League Centre, as a branch
of the Drama league of America, may
soon be established in Ogden, accord
ing to a statement of T. Earl Fardoe
who Is one of the parties interested in
getting a league center here. The I
drama club members are all in favor I
of getting a center established in Og- I
den for the Civic good that might be
accompished Ihioudi it. In tact tho fc
Whole purpose of the Drama league of I
America and Its centers is to aid in I
getting the best plays before the pub- -lie
The league states Its purpose to be I
tq creati a permanent taste for good
drama and to obtain larger audiences I
for i)h best plays. It endeavors to I
accomplish this by securing actual I
tei attendance on plays bulletin-
led by the league and by the study and I
reading of plays outside the theater.
The league idea, said Mr. Pardoe. is E
to crowd out vicious plays by attend- I
Ing and commending good plays and I
building up audiences for them
through study classes, reading circles b
and lectures; to aid in the restoration k
Of the drama to its honorable place as 1
the most Intimate, most comprehen
sive, most democratic medium for self-
expression of the people.
Mr. Pardoe recently received a let-
tor from C. H. GItford. executive secre- I
tary tf the league at the headquarters I
in Washington. D. C, expressing I
pleasure that the league was so soon I
to have a center in Ogden
S. H. Clark, one of the founder of j
the league will be in Ogden on tho 3rd I
and 4th of May to lecture under the I
auspices of the Drama club of Ogden. I
his services having been secured I
through the efforts of Mrs. Dr. Morn II
and others in charge of the local com- '

It is probable that Mr. Clark will be I
asked to give some assistance In or-
ganlcing a league center while he is 1

SENATE TO TAKE
UPJH BILL
WASHINGTON, April 26. With ad
opi ion today of a provision for cen
tralized re-organization of the aircraft
program, the senate cleared the way
for decision action tomorrow on the
Overman bill with its broad authority
for the president to co-ordinate gov -ernraent
agencies during the war.
In a brief session adjourned for sen
ators to march in the Liberty loan par
ade, the senate wrote into the bill un
animously the proposal of Senator
Wadsworth of New York authorizing
the president to delegate to a single
executive agency or office all power
and appropriations for aircraft pro
duction. A tacit agreement was made to vote
tomorrow on decisive amendments pro
posing to exempt the Interstate com
merce commission, the federal reserve
board and other independent bureaus.
Senator Overman of North Carolina
and leaders of the opposition both
still confident of the result said a
vote tomorrow on these amendment?
and probably on final passage of the
bill was probable.

I Chicago Quotations
CHICAGO, April 26 Prospects for
a reduction of acreage brought about
a sharp advance today in the corn
market Increases of winter wheat
and oats were said to be largely at
the expense of corn and it was also
said seed troubles were appearing to
diminish production of corn. Unfav
orable weather was a bullish factor.
Opening prices which ranged from
to lgc advance with May 5127J and
July $1,511 to 1 521. were followed by
indications of still greater strength.
Oats showed some sympathy with
the upturn in corn The slowness of
demand from the east, however, act
ed as a decided handicap on the bulls.
After opening unchanged to 3c high
er with May 832c to Sl&c, the market
scored a slight further gain, but then
underwent a moderate sag.

in demand, but pork and ribs tended
toward weakness. Bel&ian orders wero1

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN 1
FOR COTTAGE CHEESE
WASHINGTON. D. C , April 26 To
encourage the use, as well as the mak
ing of cottage cheese a cheap and
palatable substitute for meat tne
I'nited States department of agricul
ture has launched a campaign in which
nearly a hundred field workers will
take part and which is to carry to ev
ery state in the union this lesson
Cottage cheese is made from skim
milk now largely wasted or fed to
animals. A pound of cottage cheese
has the same food value as a pound of
meat. Make cottage cheese, and thus
put to valuable use wasted skim-milk
Eat cottage cheese; save the meat for
our soldiers and the allies
Three of the big divisions of the de
partment of agriculture are working
in the campaign, which also has the
co-operation of the United States food j
administration.

SEVERE DEFEAT
FOR MENEM
LONDON. April 26 Thanks to the
magnificent counter-attack of the Aus
tralians and English regiments yester
day, the Germans received a severe
repulse on the front before Amiens.
The English troops engaged were the I
Berkshires, Northampton Durhams
and Yorkshires, reinforced by young
troops recently raised in England and
which recently gallantly held Villers
Bretonncux against an inferno and gas
shelling until overwhelmed by an as
sault of five divisions The Germans
Beixed and established a permanent
hold on the village which they packed
with machine guns. Consequently it
was necessary' that yesterday's counter-attack
should be a surprise and it
was decided to make a night attack
with bombs, bayonets and machine
guns without artillery preparation.
Hours of grim fighting followed, all
the more so because the artillery on
both sides was silent as the combat
ants became inextricably mixed before
the Germans were finally driven out
and this important position dominat
ing Amiens was restored to British
hands. The enemy may return to the
assault but he is now in an awkward
salient formed by the confluence of
(lie Xnmmo on the Avro and Vir. mm. i
now find himself on a slaughter house
position.
Hangaard Is also important but it
has changed hands so often that the
enemy's hold there may be considered
precarious.
It is possible however, that the real
big offensive will develop to the south
of Ypres and mention of fighting
northeast of Baillcul may indicate this
has already begun.
LONDON, April 26. "In the end it
would be a question of who has the
last reserves." said General Delmar
Radcliffe. chief director of military
operations at the war office, in a re
view of the western front situation this
afternoon "These reserves on the
