State Plough Under Crops.

In some instances the farmers in
southwestern Minnesota are plough
ing under their tields,' said Mr..
Cooper. In fact the state farm at
Marshall has done this, believing
that it would be better to put the
soil in good condition for next year
than to attempt to harvest anything
this year. The greater part of Lyon
and adjoining counties is in bad
shape. although there are spots
where a crop will be harvested that
will be worth while.
Il have just completed a tour of
the southern part of the state and
they are now cutting the winter rye,
which is showing up we'll. The bar
ley harvest will begin in the southern
counties next week and while in
some places the yield is fair, taken
as a whole I do not think the barley
crop will scarcely be up to the nor
NAL YIELD
Completes Crop Rotation Plans.
While here Mr. Cooper completed
his plans for the three year crop ro-
tatiOn to be followed on the Bemidji
farm. so far as they can be completed
at this time
The scheme for farming here is
urged by Mr.. Cooper as a model for
all farmers in Northern Minnesota
1t consists Of the following schedule:
Divide the farm into three fields,
as has been done here, and follow
these divisions, also being placed in
operation on the Anderson land:
How the Land is Divided.
Field No. l, wheat and seeded to
clover; 1912, clover; 1913 potatoes.
Field No. 2, now in clover; pota-
toes in 1912; grain and seed in 1913
Field No. 3, potatoes; 1912 grain
and grass; 1913 clover
Mr.. Cooper says if the farmers will
follow this line Of rotation and apply
manure at the rate of ten loads to
the acre. that they will find that the
soil is kept in proper condition for
capacity yields, keeping the land
freely filled with humus and tending
to retain moisture.

BARTENDER FINED;
 PRINCIPAL NOT HELD

A little question of nationality was largely the means of saving Mrs Ann Mcf 'arthy from serious trouble as the result of raid yesterday On her sa- loon at 307 Howard avenue. When her case came up in the city court this morning. the charge against her was noI:
 Tn, city court wasn't going out of it's w.-.r to favor the accused but the question of nationality was a. strong argument in Mrs, McCarthy's behalf and carried the day. : Her bartender is Hungarian. When Sergeant Prout and Liquor Officer Wagner raided the saloon yesterday they found the bartender and two fre- quenters inside, one of them being in the act of finishing a refreshing bottle of beer.
 Now both these ~frequenters were Hungarians, as well as the baytender. In the city court this morning, Att torney Cullinan, appearing for Mrs. Mccarthy, adduced the fact that she had given strict orders that her saloon should be closed on Sunday and had forbidden the bartender to open it.
 It was then shown that the fre- quenters were personal friends of the bartender and were unknown to Mrs. Mccarthy. The fact that all three were Hungarians made this presump- tion stronger. Sc the court accepted the statement that the saloon was open without the knowledge or consent of its owner, and so entered a nolle on recommendation of Liquor Prose- cutor A. J. Merritt.
 Attorney Merritt was not so lenient with the bartender, who was found guilty and fined $25 and costs. The frequenters were fined $1 and costs each.

D. N. Morgan Will Sue For
 False Arrest
Continued from Page 1.)


 Flagg appears to have been doing a business amounting to more than $1,- COG, ,000 a year. One of his chief as- sets was MT. Morgan, because the lat CT had been treasurer of the United States.
 Flagg represented that by reason of his experience in the stock market, and his knowledge of the stock gam bling game he could make profit of one per cent. a week for his custom CTS. The Federal authorities assert that this profit was paid out of prin- cipalf after the fashion of the Miller syndicate and other famous swindles.
 MT. Morgan's arrest came as an en- tire surprise to his friends in Bridge port. In former years he was prom inent in politics, had been twice May or of Bridgeport, State Senator, and twice a representative. He had been candidate of the Democratic party for Governor, and after his defeat became, in accordance with Demo- cratic custom, his party's candidate for the United States Senate. He is 67 years old and lives in Huntington.
 MT. Morgan's friends in Bridgeport are confident that he is innocent of any conscious wrong doing. They be- lieve that his experience as a banker and ffnancier would prevent his be- coming involved in a financial plan that was essentially dishonest, and feel that he will prove his innocence when the case comes to a hearing.

LITTLE TOTS
 MADE MEAL ON
 POISON SUMAC

Their childish eyes being attra cted by beautiful clusters of dark purple berries growing wild in the field, Ray mond and Irving Kaiser, two little boys aged and 5 respectively, help ed themselves to the attractive ber- ries and shortly afterward became very i'll.
 Their father, who resides on LenoX Heights, sent for the ambulance corps when he discovered the cause of h1s sons trouble. Dr. McGovern respond ed on the ambulance and administer ed an emetic to the little fellows. They were then taken to St. Vincent's hospital for observation. No serious consequences are anticipated, although they are painfully ill.
 It is believed that the berries of which they partook were poison su- mac, which grows in great plenty about the Lenox Heights district.

CORONER HOLDING
 INQUEST ON MANS
 DEATH IN DARIEN
Special from United Press. }


 Norwalk, Sept. 25.-With his head badly 6ashed and his brains oozing from the wound, Bernard P. Smith, of New Haven, was found, yesterday afternoon, on the post road in Darien, by crew of the Norwalk-S Stamford trolley line. The man was picked up and taken to the Stamford Hospital, where he died 8 few hours later, of fractured skull. It is the general opinion that the man was hit by a low white racing auto carrying two men and bearing Massachusetts marker. The car had two tires att tached and was travelling at not less than 60 miles an hour through Darien and Norwalk, shortly after the &C., cident happened. An effort has been made to connect the motorman of the car that found the man with the accident and blame the carman for his death The officials of the Connecti- cut Company at Norwalk stated, this morning, that possibly the man was hit by the car as it passed but all are certain that the man was injured and lying close to the tracks before the car came near. Fifteen passengers on the car swear that the car did not hit the man. Smiths home is in New Haven and he is survived by a wife, three children and a brother who is priest

AUTO BACKED UP
But Mir. Mccarthy Soon Captured it
 and Prevented Damage.


 Fairfield, Sept 25-George T. Mo- Carthy, the well :. known contractor and musician of Bridgeport, figured in rather a novel experience Saturday evening while in this town. He was driving his 4ar9e touring ear with his vii er when they stopped at the Boyle pharmacy. After enjoying refreshments, all hands made ready to start back to Bridge port Mrs. Mccarthy and her daugh- ter got into the car while Mr. Mo Carthy stood along side of it and pressed the button to start the engine on compreSsion.1 As he pressed the button, the engine started and the car f1ewtbaekwards with a spurt as though it was shot from gum Mir. McCar- thy speeded after the car which had run away backwards without driv- CT. and managed to get into the auto and stop it before any damage was done.

He had a most pecu- liar facial expression due to the fact that his nose was broken in half a dozen places and twisted flat. Shine" was a man of cheerful disposition and always willing to give an entertain ment for the money which he pan handled"

G. Q. P. Has First Direct Primary
 In Bay State
Especial from United Press.)

Boston, Sept. 25-With the G. o. F. of Massachusetts, said to be in it's hardest battle of history for supre- macy in the Bay. state, today, the last before tomorrow's primaries, was spent in 11th hour rallies by the three Republican candidates, Lieutenant Governor Frothingham, Speaker Jos eph Walker, of the House, and Rep resentative Norman White It is said by the wiseacres that the three will run in the order named.
