he PLANNED HIS OWN DEATH
How Sir William Hsnkfcrd 500 Years
AGO Evaded Law Against Com
hitting Suicide.

Suicides often adopt ingenious
methods, but the art Of the felo de 90
seems not to have advanced material
~ during the centuries. The modern
case Of a heavily insured broker who
on a feigned hunting trip stood bare
legged In a Quagmire for hours ana
wilfully contracted fatal pneumonia
is matched In cleverness by one 50o
years old.
The following facts are we'll vouched
for, and indeed were never ques'
toned, says the Green Bag. Sir VIII
liam Hankford, a Judge Of the kings
bench In the reigns Of Edward Ill.
Henry ". Henry V and Henry VI:
and at the time of his death CHIEF
Justice of England. was man OF
melancholy temperament.
He seems to have contemplated
suicide the greater part of his long
life and during his later years the
idea became a fixed purpose. The
act was of peculiarly serious conse'
quences in those days for the reason
that the law treated It as a capital
crime. The offender was buried at
the cross roads. with stake driven
through his body. and all his goods
and property were forfeited 20 the
crown, to the utter ruin OF his family.
Hankf0rd made good use Of his
wits and succeeded in accomplishing
his purpose without incurring either
unpleasant penalty. He gave open
instructions to his gamekeeper. who
had been troubled with pOachers 10
the deer preserve. to challenge all
trespassers in the future and to shoot
to kill II they would not stand and
give an account.
One dark night he purpOsely
crossed the keepers path. and upon
challenge made motions Of resistance
and escape. The faithful servant
failing to recognize his master. fol
lowed instruction to the letter, a:
was expected of him, and Sir William
fell dead In his tracks. The whole
truth OF the affair was cOmmot
knowledge. but It was impossible t
establish a case of suicide by lega
proof. The servant was protected b.

orable burial and his estate passed

FARMING WITH DYNAMITE
SUCCESSFULLY USED IN PULVER-
IZING REFRACTORY SUBSOIL.
Also Effectual for Drainage of Doggy
Lands and Swamps, and in IGg-
ging Holes For Tree Planting.


1t appears that dynamite can be
used to good purpose in other ways
besides blasting rock and demolish-
| ing concrete walls. 1t is said that
! the explosive has been employed by
| farmers for years in removing the
stumps of trees, and lately it has
been made to serve successfully in
aerating and pulverizing refractory
subsoil as well as for ditching and
digging holes for tree planting. The
New York Herald of November
describes the manner OF procedure
at a New Jersey experiment station
as follows:
Under the direction of Mr.. Wolf
a series of holes thirty-three inches
deep and fifteen feet apart were dug
with the aid of a crowbar. Half of
a dynamite cartridge was then low
cred into each hole and carefully
tamped The dynamite was placed at
a depth of nine inches, and all of the
cartridges were wired so that the
explosions were simultaneous.
THE first discharges were in
groups of sixteen holes to demon
strate the power of dynamite in rem
dering subsoil porous for the grow
ing of wheat and other cereals. The
explosion shattered the subsoil for a
distance of fifteen feet from the point
of discharge, the hard soil being dis
integrated and rendered porous. The
presence of dead grubs and other
insects injurious to plant life indi-
Gated that they were unable to with
stand the deadly effects of the ex-
plosions."
1t is further stated that dynamite
proves effectual for the drainage of
swamp and Doggy lands by increas-
ing the porosity of the soil, that the
use of the explosive for making a
hole in which to plant a tree also
prepares the adjacent ground for the
spread of roots and proper nurture,
and that the cost of breaking up
subsoils with dynamite IS estimated
at about eight dollars an acre, the

A BALD-HEADED WOMAN.
ShOrn of Her Crown of Beauty Loses
in Love and Marriage.


Hair is certainly most necessary
to woman. Who could love and
marry a bald-headed woman? What
charms could one array to offset
such Disagreement?
A womans goal is usually love
and marriage. Her browning glory
is her hair. The loss of her hair
mars her beauty, happiness and sue
cess. Yet right here in Dawson
there are hundreds of women who
are neglecting or injuring their hair
to such an extent that it is only a
matter of time when it will be ruin
ed
Many women destroy the beauty
of their hair through thoughtless-
ness of ignorance of certain facts
They use curling irons overheated,
or to excess, which destroys the nat
uraI oil of the hair, causing it to
split, break and come out. They do
not shampoo their hair often enough
or too often They use soaps or
preparations which contain ingredi-
ents positively harmful to the scalp
and hair.
AS a result of such treatment dam
druff is created, the hair loosens,
loses color, falls out and badness
commences unless proper and
prompt precautions are taken in
time. Then again microbes and
certain diseases bring about I'M
healthy scalp and hair conditions.
Almost any woman may rid her
self of dandruff and diseased sea D
and hair if she will but use the
right remedy. We have the remedy
and we will positively guarantee that
it will either cure dandruff and bald
ness or it will not cost the user
anything.
That's pretty broad statement,
but we will back it and prove it
with our own money We will re-
turn your money if you do not find
that Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is an
entirely satisfactory remedy that
will promote hair growth and over
come scalp and hair troubles; that
it will grow hair even on bald heads
unless all life in the hair roots has
been eXtinguished, the follicles clos
ed and the scalp is glazed and shiny.
1t gets it's name from the fact that
it grew hair in SO out of 100 cases
where it received thoroughly hard,
impartial and practical test.
We want you to try Rexall 1913"
Hair Tonic at our risk. You surely
cannot lose anything by doing so,
while you have everything to gain.

Agricultural Department Discovery

A discovery by the scientists of the
department of agriculture that is ex-
pected soon to bring about an annu-
al saving to the country of about
100000 is announced by Secre-
tary Wilson.
The secretary states that several
rich potash sources have been locat-
ed in this country and that he ex-
poets that they will be yielding
potash enough soon to supply the
needs of the nation.
Heretofore Secretary Wilson said
the country has been buying the pot
ash from Germany, spending for it
about $12,00O,000 annually. Re
Gently an appropriation was asked
for to be used in the work of search
ing for potash deposits in this coun-
try. Only a few thousand dollars
was secured for the work, but the
money was used to excellent advant-
age
Secretary Wilson says that he is
not yet ready to go into details as
to the mines. He said, however, that
most of the deposits had been locat-
ed in the west.

SO. 600 FOR SET OF HORSE TEETH

Blanche, Thoroughbred PAGER, Is
to Have Hers Plugged With Gold.
Three thousand dollars for a set of
teeth for a horse seems a good bit
of money, and an odd item of the
news into the bargain. The horse
that is to have the teeth is thor
oughbred PAGER named Blanche, and
owned by Louis Childs of Spokane.
During the past season Blanche has
won more than $4,000 for her own
er. Now her teeth have gone bad
and Mr.. Childs has decided that she
shall have a perfectly good artificial
set plugged with gold. The reason
for the plugging is not quite appar-
ent, unless the owner wants to show
his fondness for the horse by making
the false teeth as costly as possible.
Blanche will doubtless be very proud
and naughty when she begins grind
ing her oats on gold.

A RALLY THAT IS A RALLY
JOE BROWNS FULTON COUNTY

District Clubs Will March Under

ATLANTA.-Former Gov. Joseph
N. Brown is going to attend a politi-
cal meeting tonight. 1t will be the
first time he was ever guilty of such
conduct. Though he has been in
politics for several years during that
time he has never appeared at any
rally for himself or anyone else. The
fact is, the governor doesn't believe
in such pow-wows. He prefers the
pen to the voice, though he does not
discount the latter on occasions.
However, Governor Browns per-
sonaI antipathy towards taking part
in open meetings, where the boys
shout and the bands play, has been
overcome-f0r one occasion at least.

Young Mems Joe Brown Club of Full

PRAIRIE GRAIN

While number of threshing rigs are
still at work, reports from them indi-
cate that the seasons run will be very
close to 1000 bushels of grain for the
1911 crop. Ten machines have been
working steadily on the Prairie for the
past two months, and their average
will run very close to 10000 bushels,
some running over this and some not
making quite that figure.
In addition to the 1911 crop, it is es-
timated that 100, 900 bushels of the old
crop is in the hands of the farmers.
Counting the acreage cut for hay, it is
safe to say that the return from crops

NO COMPARISON
GoOding Herald Acknowledges
They Are Outclassed.

The Gooding Herald has taken sides
with the Recorder, in practically
everything that we have been contend
ing in regard to the Organization of a
Water Users league. In one para
graph the Herald says: ~
"The only difference between. the
position of the Herald and that of the
Recorder. therefore, would seem to lie
in the fact that the Herald believes
the farmer able to manage his own
business without consulting the water
companies or the newspapers. "
You might add brother that the Re
corder also believes. the farmer able to
manage his own business without the
assistance of lawyers, whose clients
are few and far between.
In another paragraph the Herald
says. "And it may be we'll to add that
the Herald is not interested in the
abuse which the Recorder contains.
The organization of this paper does not
include a quadruped of species to be
against the Recorder in a
braying contest"
An open confession is good for the
soul, brother, surely you could not ex-
oect common burro to equal a
thoroughbred in any kind of a contest.
