COSTS CHARGED TO SLEUTHS
Mill City Detectives stung in Working
Up Gases.

To have three cases of alleged viola
tons of the liquor license law which
were worked up by them dismissed,
and the costs in one of the cases taxed
to them, was the experience OF two De
tectives from Minneapolis, who have
been carrying on a still hunt around
Plankington at the request of law EN-
forcement leagues.
On evidence secured by the detec-
tives, five men were arrested on the
charge of having sold liquor Illegally
]. A. Mcdonald of Stickney, charged
with selling liquor on Sunday, has
been held to the circuit court. John
Ruben, farmer living near Stickney
was charged with securing liquor for
persons who were on the blacklist.
On motion of the assistant states
attorney, who prosecuted the cases be
fore the Justice, the case against Ru
den was dismissed and the costs were
taxed to the detectives.
The preliminary hearing in the cases
of two other defendants, Henry Krell
and Ed Wulf, saloon men of White
Lake, resulted in dismissal. The fifth
man arrested at the instance of the
two detectives was J. P. MalOwe OF
Stickney, who failed to appear for his
preliminary hearing.

BUY A HOME.

The Progressive Farmer and
Southern Farm Gazette, published
at Starkville. Miss, gives the fol-
lowing good advice:
To every tenant, to every young
farmer, to every landless man to
whom farm life appeals, we would
say. Let one of your first ambi-
tions be to get a home. Though
it must Of necessity be of the
humblest sort, get it and keep it
and see that it is given the stud
ious attention and the loving care
that such a precious possession
merits. This way lies indepen-
dence and prosperity and influ-
ence with your fellow men, and
that most priceless of all posses
sions that you can leave to your
Children love of the home in
which they live and an apprecia-
tion of the dignity and beauty of
work that adds to the welfare of
the world.

feet deeper. The skeleton did not
do this, he argued. Then who,
if MT ,ome Of his neighbors. to
whom he had told the story OF
finding the imprint OF the CONS
The man who had removed the lew
coins from the surface evidently
did not prospect further. He was
no doubt frightened away when he
found human bones.
But. how came this hole to be
dug? That is what all are ask
mo. Some one had tradition
or chart of the place where treas
IRE was buried and he found the
spot. But. after he got that lar,
he ouit and fled when he found
human bones. Or, perhaps he
thought that there was nothing
morc-that The gold had been
spirited away.
Another "theory" is that he
intended to return later and kept
watch on the place, and that he
did return, dug deeper and got
the treasure. The gentleman
from Abbeville made this sugges-
ton to his acquaintance whom he
was visiting. who concluded that
one theory was about as good as
another. But the fact remained
that there was the grave, and he
had seen part Of the skeleton.
How much was in the cave no
one knows. of course, except those
who got it. Traces show that
something was buried under the
skeleton. 1t is believed. however,
that treasure was buried there
and that the other man killed his
confederate and buried him with
the gold. so that he would have a
large share, and also to prevent his
partner from returning to get it
should he be inclined to treach-
cry.
That part of the island is a
lonely, desolate, uninviting spot,
and such one as would be sought
for the burial of treasure and the
commission of crime Its very
loneliness is suggestive OF the un-
canny and conducive to superstl-
ton.

MONEY IN RAISING MULES.

There are several advantages
which the breeding of mules. the
draft animal Of the South. offers
over horse breeding. These rea-
sons are IN part those which make
the breeding of draft horses the
most profitable for the Northern
farmer. Heavy horses are not
popular in the South and possibly
there are certain climatic reasons
for this; and. therefore, we must
either breed light harness or sad
die horses or 90 10 he mule. The
breeding Of these classes uf hor-
SeS require greater skill and care.
Il larger investment for breeding
stock and heavier expense IN
training and fitting for market.
In mule breeding cheaper
grade Of mares may be used,
while at the same time they are
the best type Of farm work horse
and the young animals are more
easily raised, 90 on to the market
at an earlier age and require no
special fitting or education to rem
der them salable
We do not agree that mule
can be raised as cheaply as steer
nor that mule raising is likely to
be the most profitable on rough
cheap lands, without abundance
of feed and good intelligent care ;
but on good lands which will pro
duce good pasture and with lib
eral feeding, the raising Of mules
at present prices, offers profits
no less attractive than 15-cent cot
ton and 15-cent corn. Counting
the work which the brood mares
and the young mules will do, and
which is so much needed on our
farms in order tocultivate them
economically, the average cost OF
raising a mule need not be more
than one-half he average selling
pl l't, III itNCht y
Counting the depreciation in
the value of a mare and the IN
terest on the money invested in
her at 500 a year, allowing $40 as
the service fee of the jack and cal
culating one mule colt to two
mares. we have $50 as the cost of
the mule colt. If to this we add
$25 a year for his feeding. we have
two-year-Old mule at cost of
800; or a three -year-old mule at
cost of 1925. OF course, it will
cost more than $25 to properly
grow a mule from 9 to 3 years Of
age. but during this time he may
be broken and earn in work per-
formed a good share of his keep.
Even on this liberal estimate a
profit of from $75 to 800 may be
made on each 3-year-old mule.
This alone, even though there
were no other reasons why we
should grow more, should be suf-
ficient to induce any farmer TO
consider the direct profits of mule
raising most favorably.-Stark-
vile Miss Progressive Farmer
and Gazette.

The latest is a buried treasure
story and has ghost story as a

from a visit to Week s Island, on

that gentleman whom he visited
related this incident, and that he
was shown the cave and the skele-
ton in verification. The old cit

Of the island for many years, stat
ed that there were stories OF
ghosts walking at night and that
not only colored people. but some
of the white people, saId that they
had seen these socks on their
meanderings. The spot where the
ghost took its nightly exercise was
down on the beach near the mar
gin of the water, and it was seen
by the boatmen to issue from the
grove Of oaks on a hillock. They
waited to see no more.
This gentleman. who believed
that everything supernatural .
could be explained, visited the
spot. He, however, preferred to
go in the daytime. There, IN
