GIRLS GARNER GRAIN.
Play Important Part in the South
Dakota Farming. Where Men
Are Scarce,

1t is not generally known that
women played an important part in
the gathering Of the crops of the
South Dakota farmer, but it is fact
that a large part Of the manual la
Dor on the Bon Homme county farms
was performed by women and girls
When the farmer saw the yact
fields Of wheat and cats and other
grains waving yellow, and loaded
with rich yielding heads, he was per-
picked to find sufficient help to gar
ner in the grain. Men were scarce,
and many times could not be had a.
the best wages. The alternative was
to call on the women. They respond
cd nObly, and to see women and girls
driving six horses hitched to a bind
er or header in this part of the state
was no unusual sight What could
not be used as drivers worked as or
binary men in the fields, or at other
manual labor.
They all went at their tasks with
light hearts, and the farmer smiled
when he saw his fields reaped and
the grain gathered in stacks or
threshed. There We're no fancy
dresses worn in the fields, nor were
there any fancy dishes found on the
tables Of these thrifty people.
Women and girls. when they
worked away from home. were paid
as high as $3.50 per day, with their
board. to work in the fields this sum-
mer. Farmers say that in many
cases they are preferable to men, as
they are to be trusted
Women in South Dakota are play
ing very important part in the
handling of political affairs also.
There is no law in the state that says
a woman cannot be a governor, and
already several are holding the office
of county superintendent of schools
Other Offices have been filled with
great honor by bright, pretty wom-
en-.
At the same time the women OF
South Dakota make the very best
wives to be had in the land.

TRAGIC MURDER AND SUICIDE
Murderer Locked His Wife In
a Bathroom and Then
Deliberately Carried
Out His Deadly
Design.
Associated Press Dispatch BY sreoiai wiFe'

New York. March l5.-Lous Nosser,
a race track man. locked his wife in a bath
room today and while she was prisoner
there. shot and killed Miss Stella Rey-
nolds of New Orleans an actress, who
was a visitor at their home, and then
killed himself.
The murder and suicide was the sequence
of a stormy scene, last evening, when
Miss Reynolds called at the Nosser home
Mrs Nosser, il was reported, objected
TO the call. and during the argument
which followed her husband swallowed
small quantity Of laudanum. Both
women. by uniting their efforts, forced
him 20 take am emetic Immediately, and
the poison did him no apparent harm. Miss
Reynolds then remained with Mrs. Nosser
all night.
Today. while his wife was in the bath
room. Nosser turned the key and, dis
regarding her protestotious to be let out
he went TO Miss Reynolds room. Their
voices. the mans threatening and the
womans pleading. were heard by the
wife. BY a telephone connecting with
the Office Of the apartment house she
summoned a maid but too late to save
Miss Reynolds life. AS the maid opened
the door she heard Nosser saying to the
woman: There is no use for you and
to live any longer. The best thing ] can
do is to kill you and kill myself.
Nosser then shot Miss Reynolds in
the temple and himself in the forehead,
both dying almost instantly.
Miss Reynolds stage name was EstellC
Young. Nosser was 40 years of age and
Miss Reynolds was about 25.

Or TOMKlNS' ADDRESS.

10 the third of his series Of MONDAY
Lenten addresses in St. Andrew 8
Church today, Rev. Dr, Floyd ".
Vomkins discussed that part Of the
First and Great Commandment which
directs that God be loved with all
thy mind. he drew attention to
the order Of the words In Christ's
statement Of the commandment; God
10 to be loved with the heart, the soul,
the mind, the mind being in the third
place. Or. Tomkins said that the
materialistic worship of wealth of some
years ago appears TO have given way
to the mataFialistio worship of the
mind. Some have held that where
there is a conflict between God and
reason, God falls. But this is not the
case, for we must realizs that the
truths of God are TO be gIasped lrst
of all 10y the heart, then the soul and
then the mind.
Dr. Tomkins will make the conolud-
ing address Of his series tomorrow
when his topic will be the love OF
God with all tbs stEenRth.
