that tie retirement of the preferred

boar Of directors.
The next regular meeting OF the

on the first day Of January this
would imply that If the directors
do eventually vote to retire the

out for q year.

cially does it see that the labor

was familiarly called, learned of his

held up 20 the date of his last sickness.

fFronl the Tines

Through Secretary Richardson it is
learned that The Comfley creamery paid
"a cents per pound for butter-fat to its
patrons during tie month of November.
Farmers having milk to sell should make
Il note of this fact. An idea of the
amount of ready money the Creamery
distributes among its patrons may be Oh
tained when 1t is known that one farmer
alone received $37 forshis butter fat for
the month of November.
Delbert Rowe and Walter Dickensen,
two young men engaged In teaching
school in districts north of town, and
both well known to Comfrey people, had
a narrow escape from horrible death
last Tuesday afternoon. As the Times
learns the story they were returning from

track, two ana one-half miles north of
town. at what is known as the Johnson
crossing. the buggy was struck by pas
seuger train No. 16, which is due i'm Com
frey about four o'clock, p. m. The boys
were thrown some distance from the
trick, but were reported to have been
practically uninjared, while three of the
wheels, the top, and wood work Of the
buggy was completely smashed. One of
the horses was also badly injured. How
the boys escaped death is remarkable
and can only be attributed to good luck.
The report is current that the engineer
failed to give the signal for the crossing
as he should have done. This, taken in
connection with the fact that the bows
were riding III a covered carnage, which
prevented them from noticing tile APP

About Chinch Bugs.

"Farmer" in the Sherburne Advance
discourses to his brother farmers regard
ing this pest as follows:
We are threatened with the chinch
bug plague for the coming season to
such an extent that it seems almost
necessary to draw the attention of tile
farmers to the real condition
The fore part of this last season was
so dry that it afforded the best possible
condition for the increase Of this bug.
and at this writing these insects may be
found beneath straw and leaves and
will almost Immediately become active
when brought in contact with warm
conditions. Entymologists have shown
satisfactory statistics that every insect
that lives through The winter produces
five hundred young insects. But we
still stand two chances of getting rid of
them. The first is by having very
open winter and repeated freezing and
thawing. A chinch bug can be severely
frozen and be thawed ont and become
active five times in succession before it
Is killed
The second chance we have of getting
rid of this pest is by having very wet
spring. Chinch bugs may be kept in
water for many days without being XIII
ed, but if the soil is very we. when the
young insects hatch they will adhere to
the particles of soil and almost the en-.
tire number are killed when the soil
dries.
Most of the insects hatch when the
grain is about one and one half inches
high, during period when nice wealth
er usually prevails.
The reason all harmful insects do no,
stay with us from season to season is
| not due so much to climatic conditions
rs it is to.the fact that every class of In.
sects have parasite. The parasite OF
! the ciIinch bug cannot exist unless there
area sufficient number of chinch bugs
for them to live on and when the chinch
bugs are almost completely destroyed
the parasite must die, and then the
schlnch bugs begin to increase. This
IS constantly going on with all insects
even the parasites have parasites and in
{ their turn must BE destroyed.
| We cannot depend on parasites to de-
stroy the chinch. bugs next year bul
/ mus depend on climatic conditions un-
I'll they prove a failure and then apply
remedies or suffer the consequences.
There are many remedies which are
more or less successful if thoroughly
applied. If these insects prove dangerous
there undoubtedly will be great deal
published in regard to the prevailing
Condition and 1T is. well for us to keep
watch of not only bugs but also of farm
ipapers for more particulars.

German Genius Secures n Product that
Closely Resembles Good Cloth.
A suit OF clothes from turf wool may
be no novelty ten years from now. AL
ready it is possible to get Il fine spin
ming material from turf fiber.
The early experiments with turf, ten
years ago, were unsatisfactory, reports
Frank III. Mason, our consul general in
Berlin. The ibers then obtained were
not good spinning material, being hard
and brittle, and not easily bleached or
colored. Later, Il civil engineer named
Zschorner. in Vienna, succeeded in ex-
tracting threads from turf which
proved to be good spinning material.
He worked bS Il dry process, unaided
by chemicals, and succeeded in pro-
ducing Il kind of wool, which, though
not adapted to the spinning of fine
yarn, is yet so flexible and elastic that
large fabrics can be made therefrom.
1t is characterized also by great abb
sorptivity, is Il poor heat conductor,
does not burn readily, and is moderate.
ly firm and cheap.
Zschorncr next produced turf wad.
ding. This is used as b%andages for men
and animals, in cases of wounds and
tic like, and also as a filling for pillows
md bed coverings. Then he wove turf
yarn into ropes and rugs. The remnants
which resulted served for the produc-
ton OF paper and pasteboard.
Karl Geige, in Dusseldorf, has gone
still further. lie has secured from turf
fiber Il fine spinning material, which

KILL IN DASH FOR LIBERTY.
Burglars Extradited from Chicago Stay
n Toronto Constable.

An almost unparalleled attempt Of cap
tured criminals to escape was made in
Toronto Tuesday night, with the result
that Il constable was shot dead, one Of
the criminals badly wounded, and two of
his associates hurt. 1t is believed that a
woman, disguised as a man, threw two
revolvers into a carriage in which three
burglars recently extrddited from Chicago
were being taken from court to jail. The
men were Frank Rutledge, Fred Rice and
Frank Jones. who were on trial for a rob-
berry committed at the small town of Au-
rora, a few miles north Of Toronto.
There were four in the band originally,
and they We're accused of a series of
bank and postoffice burglaries committed
In Toronto and its vicinity last year.
They escaped to Chicago, where Rut-
ledge, Rice and Jones We're arrested. The
fourth was never caught. After a hard
legal tight they were %extradited.
They were daily conveyed in a cab from
the Jail to the court house and back. At
about Z O'clock at night the cab was NOV
ing slowly along Gerard street to the
Jail, the prisoners chained together, and
under the charge Of Constables Boyd
and Stewart, when a man, or, as suspect
ed, a woman in mans clothing, ran along
side the cab and handed in two pistols,
n Of which Rutledge grabbed and
Jones the other. The two began firing
at the constables, the second bullet enter
ing Boyd's temple, causing instant death.
In the confusion the prisoners got out
of the cab and boarded a street car,
which had stopped on the conductor hear
ing the shooting.
The prisoners tried to put power on.
The motorman snatched off his brake
handle and felled Rutledge, the conduc-
tor assailing the other two and knocking
them senseless. The shooting had at
tracted the police, who came up speedily
with revolvers ready. The three men
were taken to the Jail, where it was
found that Jones had a bad wound. The
burglars are now in Jail charged with
murder.
