GASOLINE ENGINE
PULLS nine BINDERS
Cuts swath Nearly Four Rods Wide
or Approximately IS Acres to Every
Mile Travelled by Engine

G. L. Bang spent yesterday on the
farm of his uncle, Ole H. Bang, in
northwestern Polk county, one of the
finest farms in the entire Northwest,
where he has modern home in every
sense of the word with every convent
ence to be had in any city home for
the past ten years.
Yesterday Mr.. Bang was operating
big new 1890 gasoline tractor to
which was hitched nine binders and
clashing down the grain at rate nev-
er before seen or heard of in this
country by one outfit. The grain
was being harvested at the rate of 16
acres to every mile Travelled practic-
ally, or 43 acres an hour The aver
age farmers crop would socn be
slashed down at this rate, but it will
take a little time to cut Mr.. Bangs
large field, 1000 acres.
Mr. Bang states that his uncle, who
is very conservative, says his wheat
will average from 1S to 80 bushels to
the acre, and that had it not been for
damage done by the rust he had
wheat which would have yielded 35
bushels this year AS it is he has a
crop that will pay handsomely and he
will soon have it beyond all damage
from the elements.
C. L. Bang says the wheat is prac,
stically all ripe up that way and that
the farmers are working over time to
get their grain in the shock He says
few farmers have done a little
threshing of barley and rye but moth

STAMPS ON LETTERS

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
issued an order prohibiting the past
ing of imitation stamps, like the Red
Cross, Christmas and others, to the
fact of letters passing through the
mails. Hereafter where letters are
mailed bearing such stamps, they will
be returned to the writer where the
address is known, and where it is not
the letter will be sent to the dead let
ter Office. Letters bearing imitation
stamps on their face have been un-
mailable in foreign countries for some
time, and the postoffice department is
but following the lead Of other coun-
tries. The reason for their remov-
al from the face Of letters is that they
are confusing to clerks handling the
letters and are the cause of many
mistakes being made. The imitation
stamps may still be placed on the
backs of letters, but not on the front.

MINNESOTA WILL
EXHIBIT AS A STATE
FIVE HUNDRED SQUARE FEET OF
SPACE SECURED AT TWIN
CITY LAND SHOW

Minnesota will show from 10000
to 100000 people big exhibit of her
products at the land show in st. Paul
December II to 23
Governor Eberhart has received
word from the officers of the North
western Development League that the
business interests of st. Paul, Min
neapolis and Duluth have agreed to a
deal whereby this state will be fur
nished exhibit space without cost at
the land show. The show to be CIV
en- under the auspices of the league
is the only one in the country which
is not private enterprise and will be
managed in such way as to furnish
space for official exhibits.
At cost of ten thousand dollars
the business interests of the three
Minnesota cities have bought from
the league $500 square feet of pre-
ferred space at the show Each of the
seven states will have space of fifty
feet long and ten feet wide for their
official exhibit.
The governor has been asked to
confer with the officers of the league
in this state and secure the interest
Of those necessary to put in an exhi-
bit which will be a credit to the
state. Under this plan no one COM
munity or city will have an advantage
over others in the state. Any city,
county or land company desiring to
make an independent exhibit will be
able to secure limited amount Of
space near the state exhibit on rea-
sonable terms, but it is the desire of
the league officers for this state that
| the best possible exhibit be made in
the name of the state as it is from
such an exhibit that results are to be
obtained
The seven states which are to be
thus represented are Washington, Or
i,egon, Idaho. Montana, North. and
South Dakota and Minnesota No
other states will have exhibits and
| Canadian exhibits will be barred, the
whole idea of the show being "an ex-
position by the seven states for the
| benefit of the seven states alone"
Minnesota officers of the league are
J. H. Digit, of Duluth, and Chas. Pat.
terson, of ST. Paul Inquiries about
the state exhibit should be addressed
to George S. Welsh, immigration COM
missioner, St. Paul. Information
about concession space may be secur-
ed from Will A. Campbell, of St. Paul.

MUST DESTROY ALL
N0xIOUS WEEDS
Property Owners Must Pay for De-
stroyins Weeds on the Public
Highways

Probably very few of our readers
are familiar with the state laws con-
cerning noxious weeds. For the in
formation of all we herewith give a
synopsis of such laws, from the Re
vised Laws of Minnesota, Chapter 81.
Sec. 1876. Weeds declared noxious.
Each of the plants mentioned in this
section is hereby declared to be
noxious weed and common nuis-
ance. No person owning, occupying or
controlling land shall permit:
l. Any wild mustard, wild oats,
cocklebur, burdock or tumble-mus-
tard to go to seed thereon.
2. Any Canada thistle, oxeye daisy,
or Quack grass to go to seed thereon,
or for more than two successive
years, to reproduce itself thereon by
crowns, underground stems or buds.
3. Any French weed to produce
seeds thereon for more than four sue
cessive years.
4. Any Russian thistle to grow or
remain thereon at ALL
Sec. 1876. For all purposes Of this
chapter, the half of any road or street
lying next to the lands abutting there
on, shall be considered part of such
land. No person owning, occupying,
or controlling land shall permit any
noxious weed, or any white daisy,
snapdragon or toad fax, SOW thistle,
sour dock, yellow dock, or other
weeds or grasses, to produce seeds
upon such adjoining half of the high
way.
Sections 2376-23s1 provide for the
enforcement Of these laws and make
it the duty of the chairman of the
town board or the mayor of the city
to serve written notice upon any per-
son violating the noxious weed law

NEW BOOKS FOR TRAVELLING
LIBRARY

new set of fifty books of the Min
nesota State Travelling Library has
been received at the Sheaf Office and
will be loaned to the public free of
charge.
Inasmuch as it takes little time to
wait on borrowers and make record
of books taken and returned, the IL
brarian requests that patrons do not
come on Thursdays which is the day
of the publication of the paper and
his busy day, provided it is possible
for them to come at some other time
Also please do not keep the book
more than two weeks, unless an ex-
tension of time is asked for and
granted, as there are over 100 bor-
rowers and some of them may want
chance to read that same book.
The Sheaf gets no compensation
whatever for serving as custodian OF
the books and librarian, and has un-
dertaken the work simply because of
desire to see good books made as
cessible to everybody in this commu-
nifty. knowing that good book
carries with it an influence that is up
lifting and ennobling and is q power
for good. The books selected by the
State Library Commission are not of
the dime novel kind, but are generally
books with purpose and worthy to
be read. Occasionally perhaps,
book may slip in that might as well
have been left out, but it does not
happen often.
The need of public library in this
city is very apparent, and we hope
that our modest efforts may be the
beginning of, say a Carnegie Library.
Warren ought to have such an instt-
tuition The last set Of so books had
circulation Of over 500, averaging

A LETTER rom WASHINGTON
STATE

North Yakima, Wash, Aug. 9, 1911.
Editor Sheaf: You will see by the
date of this that am a long ways
from home. I am now at my sons,
w. D. Ingalls,, home, just outside the
city limits of North Yakima, in the
state Of Washington. l left ingalls,,
Mimi, July 80, at a. NJ on the 500
at New Fo1den for Winnipeg, arrlv-
ing there at s a. M and at 10 p. m.
took the Canadian Pacific flyer for
this place by way Of Vancouver, B. e.
West from Winnipeg we passed thru
pretty good farming country for
day or two, but some time on the Sc
cond night we passed into the Rocky
Mountains and after that we saw no
more farming land.
At Winnipeg we saw funeral pro-
cession that we thought gave great
honor to the deceased, who was a
young man and soldier. He was
drowned in the Red River the Satur-
day before. AS we passed along west
from Winnipeg we saw many fields OF
heavy grain and many quite large
cities and towns. Moose Jaw is a
large town said to have a population
of $4,000 and Calgary also is a large
place. Vancouver is a very large
town where we arrived at a. m. on
the 3rd. leaving for Seattle on a Can
adian ocean steamer at 10 p. N. via
ictoria on Vancouver Island, arriving
at our destination at 7:O0 a. m. on the
4th. Well, Mr.. Editor, such sights
as we have seen since coming here,
we'll I can't tell half of it. l can
look out of the chamber window OF
NV sons and count 100 farm houses
and can see only with one eye, at
that, and fruit trees as far as the eye
can see in all directions. The crop
is light this year. My son has peacn
trees four years old which are tve
70 six inches in diameter and all have
some fruit and many are loaded SO
the limbs touch the ground. We can
about clean up a tree each day OF 1ts
fruit. of which we are very fond.
A sad accident happened at our
grandson's ranch (as they call farms
here.) The hay derrick tipped over
and fell on the man, killing him in.
stantly. They had just begun to
stack the second crop of alfalfa OF
which he will have 800 tons this year
in the first two crops and probably
half as much more in the third crop
Well, I can't write up this place

WOMEN MAY BEGUILE.
No Crime to Pretend Affection and
Accept Gifts, Court Holds.

Kansas City, Jan. 7-Beguiling
women, fair and false, may go as far
as they like. Judge Latshaw of the
criminal court holds 1t no crime to
pretend affection for a man that she
doesn't love. John Dearing of 1920
Penn street was to blame for the ra1l
ing which puts men at the mercy of
designing women. He complained
that maid he loved beguiled him
into making various expensive pres
ents, pretending that she loved him.
He was away from town and returned
to find that she had married another
man.
False pretenses must be of ma
terial and substantial nature" said
Judge Latshaw. They must be so ma
terial as to move person of calm
and cold business judgment to part
with something of value. Affections
are changeable, they have no actual
value. 1t would be impossible to show
at what moment a woman ceased to
love a man and her pretenses began.
If there were no false pretenses in
affection this would be a disappointing
world. If man lets a woman make
him believe she loves him and his be-
lief leads him to part with presents of
value he can not complain. 1t should,
however, be lesson to guide his fu-
ture actions with regard to the fair
sex. He is entitled to some sympa-
thy the first time he is fooled. The
second time shouldn't ever occur.
Dearing left the criminal court after
explaining there never would be a next
time with him.

last Saturday of Grace EIosser and
Charles I. Twigg, whose bodies were
found by the mother of the dead girl,
seated on a sofa in the parlor of the
E1osser home. The tragedy occurred
less than three hours prior to the
time set for the marriage of the vic
tins.
One of the points brought out was
that May Elosser, one of Graces sis
ters, had after helping their mother
carry Grace's body from the parlor to
a bed in a room in the rear, herself
been seized with illness which showed
symptoms of poisoning by hydro
cyanic acid. No connection between
this and the deaths of the others was
made apparent by the questioning of
the with esses.
There was abundant testimony that
careful examinations of the bodies by
medical men and chemists showed
that cyanide of potassium caused the
deaths of Twigg and, Grace Elosser.
How the poison was brought into the
house is still a mystery.
Testimony showed that no recepta-
Gle had been found in which the fatal
cyanide could have been brought into
the Elosser home, and that chemical
examination has proven both candy
and chewing gum found in the house
was free from cyanide or other poison.
Mrs. Elosser, the mother of the dead
girl, who was brought from a sick bed
to testify said she saw Twigg arrive
on Saturday, embrace Grace and give
her the wedding ring before he sat
down. The pair asked her to come
into the parlor, but she declined, not
wishing to disturb them.
She said her daughter, May, was up
stairs taking a bath when her sister
and Twigg were found dead by Mrs.
Elosser, who, she declared, she at
first thought, upon going into the par
I lor, were asleep. She called Grace and
tried to arouse her. Discovering
| Twigg to be in the same condition, she
placed her hand on his shoulder and
said: Charlie. Charlie, what have
you done?''
Asked if she saw any bottles or
| glasses in the room, she held up her
hand and said, dramatically, "As God
| is my Judge, I saw nothing"
