MAN MURDERED
AT HURON
Found Dying On Sidewalk In
Front OF Hotel

Huron, May 24:-H. J. Finney. a
man about 40 or 40 years of age.
who has been making his headquar-
tiers in Huron for some time, was
found in a diving condition on the
sidewalk in front of the Windsor
house in this city last evening about
1920 o'clock. He lived only a few
minutes.
He was taken to the coroner's of
flee and an exam ination was held.
There was a cut over his left eye and
another deeper cut in his chin. BY
the aut psy it was found that the
blow on the chin had fractured the
skull in two points, at the end of the
jaw bone, this causing a hemorrhage
at the base of the brain which wOp'd
be followed shortly by death.
Finney was first seen, SO far as
the cOrOner's inquest could prove,
by several guests of the WINDSOR
house who were sitting on a bench
in front of the building. None saw
him fall, their attention first being
attracted to him as he lay on the
sidewalk. 1t could not be establish
ed that he had quarrcled with any,
one, but it was stated that he was
drunk a good deal Of the time.
The physicians who made the au-
tnpsy stated that they scarcely be,
lieved that the blow on Finney's
chm could have been inflicted by
falling on the walk Nothing more
could be learned for the present
about the matter and the coroner's
jury returned the verdict to the eff,
feet that he died from the effects OF
a blow on the chm delivered by al
unknown agent and an unknown
instrument.

500, 900 GIFT
TO COLLEGE
Huron College Receives Large
Gift from Rockefeller Board

Huron, MAY 29:-Word reached
here today from President French
of Huron College that the General
Educational board. better known as
the Rockefeller board, had just
granted a gift of 800, 900 to the
college This is a donation that DR..
French has been working for for a
long time past, and comes as a re-
cognition Of the college.
DR.. Butterlck, secretary of the
board, some time ago visited the
college, and recommended that the
endowment fund work begin at
home, saying that if it we're made
plain to the board that the people
of the town wanted the college a
gift would probably follow. Huron
alone raised over $50, 600, given in
small amounts by the residents of
the town, and other substantial
sums were contributed by people
about the state.
A great demonstration took place
on the streets down town, when a
party of college students marched
through town decorated with college
coIors lead by a band. Speeches
were made by a number of business
men and others, and a general jol-
i6catiOn followed.

A CITY Building

That Miller needs a.city building.
for use of city Officials, and to house
city property, is conceded. And a
good location for such a building is
the present site of the old building,
which is no longer safe to use. But
there is only one lot there. 1t
would seem TO he a wise move for
the city to get another lot. while 1t
can be had, and prepare for the
building that should go up as soon
as the officials see their way clear to
build.

OF INTEREST
TO FARMERS
Some Valuable Hints and In
formation Taken From
Farm Papers
Importance of Thorough Work

Importance of Thorough Work
The principal of doing work thor
oughly is a good n under any style
of farming. The necessity for thor
ough and careful work however in
creases with the precariousness of
the conditions that relate to crop
production. This may be illustrat-
ed in various ways.
When ground is stiff, the necessi-
ity for making a good seed bed is
greatly increased. On very soft and
spongy prairie soils, the mere plow-
ing of the ground may suffice to put
it in shape to receive seed when the
pillow is followed by one or two
strokes Of the harrow. The pulver-
ization Of the other may involve
much labor and the outcome may
not be any better from the stubborn
soil well prepared than from the
good soil which called for SO much
less labor to make it ready for the
seed.
When all the conditions are unus-
ually favorable for the growing of a
crop, what may suffice to grow it
well in one case may not answer at
all in another. Alfalfa for instance
will succeed under some conditions
no matter how sown. Under other
conditions everything relating to
careful culture must receive the
most careful attention in order to
get the plant to grow.
In no place, however, isit so i'm
portant that every attention shall be
given to every detail of cultivation
as in areas where there is a shortage
Of moisture. One used to having
plenty Of rainfall cannot imagine
the difference between working the
land so that all the moisture is kept
in it that can be kept there. Ne,
glect for a single day may have an
important influence on the outcome
of the crop that follows:
A farmer may in one instance
break upland in early June and get
it in shape so the crop of winter
wheat may be sown on moist land in
August. He may also break -p the
same land in July after much of the
moisture has left it. He may pre-
pare it in the same way, and he may
then SOW wheat on it in the same
month without the wheat coming
up at all.
Again the farmer may pillow
ground in the autumn or even il
the previous summer, and allow /
to go inLo the winter in good shape
He may then go out an harrow i
as soon as it is dry enough for sucl
work in the spring and sow whea
on it. The wheat will come up ant
grow on until 1t gets ready for tn,
harvest.
He may neglect to harrow lant
similarly prepared and lying beside
the other. until the moisture is gon,
from the surface and when he SOW
the grain he will find that the seeC
will be there until rain shall com,
without terminating This mean
thatit may be there for successiv,
weeks. as in some instances rail-
does not fall in the early spring.
1t is not easy to impress farmer
in such areas with the absolute i'm
portance of doing well anythin!
they undertake to do in connection
with the handling of the soil.
small area well pat in will almoS
certainly yield more profit than

French cabinet met at the Chateau OF Pres

the narrative OF Justin de Selves, the FOR

proved in their final form the instructions
to be given to Jules Cambon, the French
ambassador at Berlin.
Jules Pans, the minister OF agriculture
was instructed to investigate the under

which has resulted in considerable rioting
in the northern part OF France.
While the cabinets instructions to Am

which he is to pursue on reopening the
negotiations with the German foreign min

be regarded as suggesting an ultmatum'
they contain, according to an earlier an

France lie willing TO offer to Germany in
