FARMER AND NEWSPAPER

AS a rule the farmer has no
frmer friend than the country
press says Texan. The home
paper is distinctly the farmers
own paper, supported directly
and indirectly by farmers who
compose the backbone of the sub
scription list of the printer, and
largely for what the enterprising
merchants advertise. Now,
brother let us not forget our
friends. Let us see that our sub
scription is paid a year in adj
vance; we can do so.
The man of the paper that
fights my battles shall have my
support. Another thing, the
merchants who advertise are the
ones who make ii possible for us
to have a good local paper, and
the men who don't advertise and
help the local press have no right
to the farmers patronage.
propose hereafter to 60 to
the live advertiser and the man
who will do his share in support
ing the local press, thus contri-
buting to my support, rather than
to buy of a man who proposes to
take all and give nothing in re-
turn. If farmers as a class would
support their friends the other
fellow would soon get out OF
business Elk.

Potato Spraying Result in Sigger Yield

Careful spraying of potatoes is
essential to secure profitable
yields, according to experiments
made this year by the Agricult-
ural Experiment Station at the
University Of Wisconsin. In q
new bulletin, 168, entitled
Spraying Potatoes Against Blight
and the Potato Beetle, " Just off
the press, Prof. E. B. Sandsten
and j g. Milward give results
I of the last five seasons spraying
experiments, with practical in
formation on the preparation and
application of sprays for various
purposes. Spraying work has
been conducted in the leading
potato growing counties of the
state, including Waupaca, Dunn,
Columbia, Burnett, Portage,
Waushara and Sank counties.
Over 200 acres have been under
trial, and the principal areas OF
undeveloped potato land have
been proven well adapted to the
crop when proper spraying in
culture is practiced.

A TRAGEDY OF REAL LIFE
Death Reveals Identity of Man-Woman

UedLn REVEALS iuGnllIY OF Wdn-WOHfdH
A story of interest to old time
rivermen on the Mississippi and
woodsmen who spent their whit
ers in the Northern woods was
printed in the Sunday dailies.
Recently an old man, Sam Vii
liams, dropped dead on the streets
of Manhatten, Montana. The
remarkable feature of this oc-
currance was that instead of be-
ing a man the person was Wom-
an. No one, only the men in the
camps in the woods where he
worked as cook, knew Williams.
1t was learned by the Manhattan
authorities that he came there
Is years previous from Eau
Claire or Chippewa Falls and in
tracing HIM up the following pa
thetic story is brought out:
"The death of "Sammy Will
liams" at Manhattan, Mont, last
week, when it was discovered
that the supposed man was a
woman who had successfully mas
queraded as man for over half
a century, marks the last act of
one of the saddest heart tragedies
ever chronicled, story of disap-
pointed love, and a blighted life
as a result, the first act of which
was laid in Norway many years
ago, succeeding acts Of which
were staged in Alamekee county
Iowa, and northern Wisconsin,
and the last act at Manhatten,
Montana.
The story concerns the life of a
little Norwegian lass, who, Tilted
by her lover almost on the eve
of their marriage, sought to hide
her identity from the world by
masquerading for over fifty years
as man in various parts of the
country, over thirty years of which
were passed in the Chippewa val
ley and northern Wisconsin
camps. Ingeborge Wekan was
born in darlington, Norway,
seventy-fve or eighty years ago.
Born about the same time and at
the same place was Sven Norem,
who was destined later to exert
such blighting influence over
her future life, Sven and lnge-
borge grew up to manhood and

leaves much to be desired The only
shining and unqualified exception to
this rule is found in the unique Sun
day Magazine of the Chicago Record
Herald. There is nothing eli like 1t
in the whole range of American jour
nalism. 1t is a real magazine that is
regularly issued as part of the Sun
day paper. 1t is filed with first-class
fiction, able articles, choice pictures
and wide range of good miscellany,
all by popular or really famous authors
and artists. When writer's such as
Conan Doyle, Anthony Hope, Jack
London, Sewell Ford and Cyrus Town
send Brady are counted among
the contributors to Sunday paper
its triumph can no longer be doubted.
The Sunday Magazine of the Record
Herald is far and away the best lit
erary treat offered to newspaper read
ers in the United States today. The
largest monthlies and independent
weeklies cannot surpass 1t in quality
or sustained interest. You will al
way find one Of the finest serials or
the year in its pages, often captured
from the big monthlies at record
prices. Its short stories, including
those of the delectable Shorty Nc
Cabe, can't be surpassed.

LITTLE In Fidelity Fund.

NEW YORK, March 31.-From in
formation gathered today in circles
familiar with the affairs of the Fidel
ity Funding Company and P. ]. Kieran
it was learned that the direct liability
of Rev. Father Mcmahon through the
failure of the Fidelity Funding Com
pany. as appeared on the face of the
accounts was only about 100000.
1t was stated however. that until
there had been a complete audit and
comparison of the company's books
and the private accounts of P. j.
Kieran, for whom a receiver in bank
ruptcy had been named. it would be
impossible to ascertain the extent of
Father McMahon's obligation. Even
then. it was said, it was doubtful If
tie exact status of the account could
he learned, as the transactions were
involved and hard to trace in their
ramifcations through the twe sets of

1t was announced tonight author
itatively from priest closely identi-
tieA with the a.fairs of the Cleveland
diocese that the liability set forth in
the petition in voluntary bankruptcy
made by Father Mcmahon is personal
and that the Roman Catholic church
properly is not involved in a way that
the church can lose.
The title to all Catholic church
property. it was explained, in all parts
of the world is vested in the arch
bishop of the diocese in which it is
located, and mortgages must be san
ctioned by the prelate in charge.
1t was after Kieran had explained
to Father Mcmahon that 1t was his
purpose to make the Fidelity Funding
Company the chief financial agent of
the Catholic church in the matter Of
loans and mortgages that the priest
became involved.
