ONLY THREE IN RAMSEY COUNTY
ACCORDING TO sUPERIN-
TENDENT I1AIG.

Probably only three schools in the
county will hold term of less than
nine months, the schools being in the
Grahams Island, Norway and Newland
districts. The consolidation idea has
greatly decreased the number of short
term schools, together with the new
law passed by the last legislature.
A real college bred man from Indiana
will have charge of district school
in Ramsey county this year, the idea
being a venture on his part to get clos
er to country children. G. n. White
has been assigned the Grahams Island
school and the people of that district
can rejoice on having secured his ser.
vices.

WAS NOT so INTERESTED IN
REGISTERING OR SEEING HIS
SICK WIFE AFTER ALL.
Instead of Going to Minot and Then to
Idaho He Left For Princeton, Mis-
souri,, Where He Says His House
Burned = His Goods are Held By
The Officials.

There is apparently two sides to the
j. o. Mcclure question and both sides
will be threshed out at the November
term of the district court, Mcclure
having been bound over on the charge
of carrying concealed weapons. The
fellow furnished bonds amounting to
5000 and was released today to return
here in November and stand trial.
There are those who are of the opin-
ion that Mcclure became intoxicated
and talked to Waterman Sullivan of
Grand Forks, mainly to hear himself
talk, and because it sounded big, not
knowing to whom he was talking.
Mcclure, when in court, said that he
was hurrying to the bedside Of his sick
wife, but this morning he planned on
returning to Princeton, Missouri, where
he said his house burned.
Apparently Mcclure IS wife was not
as sick as he had thought and he was
not so interested in registering on land
as when he reached Devils Lake, and
he will not 90 the short distance to
Minot to register, although he came
all the way from Princeton for that
purpose.
The officials still are of the opinion
that Mcclure came up to this section
to "fecce some of the yaps.'' The
photograph device for cutting postal
cards cannot be used for that purpose,
but it is a playing card device pure
and simple and can 20 used for moth
ing else. The officials here are still
holding the goods and insist that they
have further evidence than the mere
carrying of concealed weapons under
which Mcclure was arrested. The fact
that Mcclure could not get money
from home does not do away with the
fact that when he got away from
home he could start little "graft y
game. no matter how we'll known and
popular he was at home.

Manchester, N. Y, Aug. 2s.-Two
more passengers of the Lehigh Val
ley train number 4, which was wreck
ed near here Friday noon, died to-
day, increasing the toll of victims to
80, and it seemed probable tonight that
several of the "a injured may succumb
to their injuries.
The complete list of dead is avail
able for the first time tonight, the
work of Identification having been fin
ished today at Stoddard morgue in
Shortsville. More than half of the
bodies already have been removed to
their former homes.
A blood-stained doll taken from the
wreck was returned today to little Es-

at Clifton Springs helping to nurse her

months is highly desirable in order to
keep stock in thrifty condition. The
silo is the container in which this food
can be kept, and, as stated in quota
ton above, the silage, in effect, is q
pasture in the winter. Then, too, many
discouraging experiences Of last season
and this has proven beyond question
of doubt that fairly good yields Of fod-
der corn can be grown during the sea-
sons when small grains and hay may
be largely failure. Corn, therefore,
affords reasonably safe forage crop
for even if frosted it will still make
silage. There will, of course, be more
nutriment per ton in corn that is more
nearly matured than if it is necessary
to cut it early. IF these were the only
reasons why the silo should become
popular, to my mind they would be suf-
ficent, but so many farmers in North
Dakota lack first hand experience with
silos and silage that it is natural they
hesitated to build one. The expressed
fear of the silage freezing, or silos
blowing down, or not being able to Sc
cure sufficient corn to fill one, or time
if they do raise the corn. They appar-
emily that a hundred tons of silage in
the silo, will in most cases, require less
time than mowin cover sufficient pra-
irie to secure an equal tonnage of hay.
The forget or do not know that North
Dakota has had what owner, G. w. An
ldrews, Walhalla, Pembina county,
claims is the farthest north silo in the
United States and that there are many
still farther north in Canada and that
they are a success. They may not re-
alize that even If the silage does freeze
a few inches around the outside that
when thawed it is just as good feed
as though it had not been frozen, or
that it become so compact in the silo
that it also heats considerably in the
settling and therefore does not freeze
to the degree that one would naturally
xpect. When asked about finding time
to fill his ssiio, John Donnelly said: cit

When we have become convinced of

New York, Aug. 2s.-The general be-

FIGHT AT EIIiiCT,

Minot, N. D., Aug. 2s.-All is not
yet over with the Normal School fight
in this city. When the South Hill site
was first proffered to the state deed
was placed on file. The subsequent ac-
ton of the board in accepting the
North Side site leaves the owners of
the Hill property without their land,
as it takes an act of the legislature to
return it to them. 1t is also probable
that a damage suit will be started by
the owners. An attorney is now at

CLEVER BURGLAR CAUGHT
Harold Griffis who Robbed Platteville
Store in Jail at NeilIsville.

Harold Grifis, the fellow who
burglarized Buxton S store on April
81, was arrested at Neillsville for
burglarizing clothing store at that
place.
Griffis was in Platteville for about
six weeks in the spring. posing as a
painter and decorator. He and a
young girl named Cathlene Smith
boarded at the Vaughan MOTEL, and
represented themselves as man and
wife.
Curing the time he was here
several petty burglaries took place in
various parts of the city, but no
suspicion fell on him. After enter
ing Buxton's store, his last job here,
he went away.
The police here began making in
quiries and, after careful search,
learned that Grifis had tried to pur
suade several young lads here to help
him burglarize the First National
bank and the Meyer lumber Office.
After sufficient evidence was Sc
cured, Judge Metcalfe issued a
warrant for his arrest, and it was
placed in Sheriff Hymer's hands.
The sheriff Immediately sent deputy
| Hymer to Neillsville and learned that
Grifis had been arrested the day be-
fore the deputy arrived, being charged
with burglary there
The district attorney of that county
refused to give Griffs up, and he will
have to stand trial there. The police
here are deserving Of great deal of
credit for the manner in which they
worked up the case, even though the

ALLEN HYDE DANGEROUSLY
INJURED BY AUTOMOBILE
Heavily Thrown When Attempting to
Jump on John Days Car While
it Was Running.

Just few moments before this
issue of Herald was put to press last
evening Allen Hyde, a boy of about
II, eldest son of Mrs. A J. Hyde,
met with most serious accident
which it is feared may prove fatal.

been attempting to jump onto the
automobile driven by John Day, when
the car was turning the corner near
Fl. @. Nathan's residence. Missing
his hold in some way he fell back
ward upon his head and the blow
rendered him instantly unconscious.
The injured boy was carried into
the yard adjoining the place where
the accident occurred and received the
medical attention of Drs S. W. and
J. G.. Doolittle and DR.. Fowler.
Although the exact extent of his
injuries are not known as we go to
press they are said to be of a most
serious character. No blame is at

THE BLISTER BEETLE
DESTROYING ALFALFA
State Experiment Station Tells Methods
for Overcoming Depredations
by This Pest.

During the past few years many
farmers in this section of the coun-
try have taken up the raising of
Alfalfa hay with satisfactory re-
suits. Considerable complaint has
been made this year, however, that
an insect has been working upon it
and in some instances practically
destroying the crop. The trouble
was reported few days ago by T.
F. Orion to the experiment station
Of the State Agricultural College
and the following reply has been re-
ceived:
Madison, Wis, June IA, 1911.
Mr.. 7. F. Orion, Lancaster, Wis.
My dear Mr.. Orion Yours of re-
cent date came duly to hand also the
bugs which you sent. These are
known as the blister beetles and work
quite severely upon the leguminous
plants. AS a rule they do not become
SO plentiful as to do great deal of
damage but some years like this
year they seem to multiply at rapid
rate. They are instrumental in de-
stroying a great deal Of alfalfa. In
their favor it may be said that during
one period OF their growth they feed
upon the grasshopper eggs. thus keep
ing that pest down materially. Where
an alfalfa field is attacked by the
blister beetle it should be Immediate
~ cut. In this way the alfalfa can
be saved and they do not seem to in
terfere with the young growth which
follows. We have often cut our
alfalfa when we knew we could not
get more than q of cutting, for we
were aware if it were left a week that
only portion of the leaves would be
left. Sincerely yours,
r, A. Moore, Agronomis t
