Care of Farm implements

One of the most serious leaks on
the farm is in the poor care taken of
farm implements when not in use.
As soon as the season is over,
binders and other machinery, no
longer needed this year, should be
carefully cleared; the grease and
dirt should be removed from the
bearings, and these should be care
fully oiled and all bright parts
creased, to prevent rusting. Pre-
parations should be made for re-
placing any broken or defective
parts.
If time does not permit Of all
this, make a memorandum to be
governed by on some stormy day,
and then see that everything is put
in readiness for the next harvesting
or having season. Get the repairs
and place them on the machines at
once. Take care of the plows. Get
them under cover. Clean and grease
the bright parts, so that, when
wanted next spring, they will scour
and save the time so many farmers
lost in putting their implements
into working order. Farm and

Takes Poison By Mistake

Washington Times Enterprise
An accident which came almost end
ing in a death occurred last Thurs
day when Mrs Frank Yoder took
poison in place of cough syrup. She
had been suffering with a very bad
cold and had gone to the cupboard
to take a dose of cough medicine.
A bottle of formaldehyde was IN the
place where she expected to find the
cough medicine, and not being able
to smell the contents on account Of
her cold, drank a small quantity of
the poison. DR. Trail was immed-
lately called and at last reports she
was getting along as we'll as could
be expected

DEATH OF HURON
MAN MYSTERY
Relatives Claim Man Had More
Money Than was Found
On Him

Huron, Jan. l4.-Coroner Walsh
is persistent in his efforts to ascer.
tain the cause of the death of David
Mitchell, which occurred some days
ago. Mr. Mitchell was a widower
and lived alone in a cottage a short
distance from the city; smoke was
e coming from a window and
when neighbors entered the house
the body of Mr. Mitchell was discov-
cred in a room where fire had burn
ed through the floor and charred
the body almost beyond recognition.
Most OF the clothing was burned off
and articles in the room were more
or less burned. A coroner's jury
made investigation and returned a
verdict that death resulted from
sutfocation, the belief then prevail
ing that Mr. Mitchell. while smoking
had fallen asleep and fire from his
pipe had ignited the bed clothing
and his own apparel. lt was known
that the dead mar had a consider
able amount of money, and a search
resulted in discovering something
like $500. Relatives and friends of
the dead man are not satisfied that
this is all the money he possessed,
some declaring that he had between
$4,000 and $4,000. Of the amounts
found all was in three different pairs
of overalls-one containing s. most
ly in silver. another S35 IN currency,
$500 in currency--the latter sum
was in a pair of overalls that appar-
emily had not been used for many
months. and when picked up were
about to be thrown from the house.
In a cigar box was found $500 in
gold Gins. Mr. Mitchell was not
friendly toward banks and therefore
took care of his own money. and
it is positively asserted that he had
not less than So 1000 in his home and
about his person at the time he was
last seer alive. At first the fire was
sup DoSed to be confined alone to the
room in which the body was discov-
cred, but later in another room was
found sacks of grain so charred that
when an attempt was made to re-
move them the sacks burst. Coron-
er Walsh is determined to continue
the investigation until something
more positive as to the manner of
Mr. Mitchell's death is disclosed. and
if there was foul play he hopes to as
certain the entire facts.

Cast Aside

Cast Aside" the new play by l..
B. Parker. suggested by the song of
Chas. X. Harris of the same title,
comes to us with the entire and I'M
animous endorsement of the press.
The play is a novelty in the way
of theme and handling of the story
is said to be truly masterfuI. The
humor is infectious and relieves the
otherwise problem play from being
too sombre hued. The producers
surely had faith, for no expense is
said to have been spared and like
most things. it has been and con-
tinues to be. really and truly a
success.
Cast Aside" is announced for a
local production at the Miller Opera
House on Tuesday. "a. 1t is worthy
of consideration from all regular
and irregular play goers.

INTEREST
TO FARMERS
Some Valuable Hints and In
formation Taken From
Farm Papers
Farmers Don't Burn Ii Up

An editorial in the Breeders
Gazette under the heading of Fer.
tility, Fire and Folly states: 1T is
an ugly agricultural sin to burn
corn stalks. In reducing them to
ashes fertility and humus are re-
moved from the soil. No farm is SO
rich in plant food that it's owner can
afford to bum any by-product for
mechanical convenience.
Grain farming, as commonly prac.
ticed. works rapidly toward its own
elimination when aided by the burn
ing of corn stalks and straw. Farm
ers engaged in this type of robbery
are so proiigate in their destruc-
tiveness that they DESTROY by fire all
the fertility that they cannot sell.
Is It any woder that where grain ID
sold off the land and fire employed
in dlsposing of surface trash, stalks,
stubble and the like crop yidlds de,
cline and country life degenerates?
Millions of dollars worth of fertili-
ty, which is a form of actual human
food, is wasted by fire every spring
in the corn belt.
Enough rough stock feed is burn.
ed or wasted on farms every year to
make 20 per cent of our total animal
products" Besides this wastefuI
folly, whenever you set fire to corn
stalks or straw piles. you not only
endanger your own and neighbors
property but are liable to prosecu-
ton IN a criminal action with a fine
not to exceed $1,000, and imprison-
ment in the county Jail at the dis
erection of the Court, if you have not
50 feet of fresh blowing for a fire.
Having the fire brake does not
exempt you from liability civilly for
all property destroyed.
Several farmers in the state have
already paid from $1,000 to $4,000
each for this folly this season. One
of these for q fire set ten days be-
fore the damage was done. II

until the strong wind ten DAYS
later scattered it to adjoining

some railway legislation. While

Dry Farming is Good Farming

The one biggest fact demonstrate

That so called dry farming is good

By dry farming we mean such

Of crops, AS to retain soil moisture
and insure the largest possible yield
of crops. Wherever dry farming
methods have been properly carried
out burning the post year, crops
have been satisfactory. In many
cases the yield has been phenomenal.
But still more important is this
further fact: that under proper

BRIDEGROOM AVOIDS REGULA- TONS BY ADOPTING ROLE
 OF WOMAN.

SAN FRANCISCO. April p. Here is a romance of the army transport service in which there are neither swords nor shoulder straps. II is a strictly proper story in spite of the fact that at the critical point the hero takes refuge in the heroine's skirts, during the absence. of course, of the heroine.
 On the records of the transport Sheridan, which arrived here yester- day from Manila. the hero is de scribed as "C R, Talitero discharg- ed soldier" After each name is a note: Jeff ship al Nagasaki"
 The Taliteros were married ill Manila just before the man received his discharge from the army
 They applied for transportation home on the Sheridan and the best that an unromantic Uncle Sam could do for them was to provide Mrs. Tali- fero with cabin accommodations and her husband a bunk in the steer, age Although out of the army he was still an enlisted man for pur- poses of transportation, and as such was barred from accommodations anywhere but on the troop deck.
 Now. a honeymoon cruise is not much fun where the billing and coo ing has to be done in accents loud enough to reach from the troop deck to the promenade deck and ill full view of a regiment of cavalry By the time the Sheridan reached Ma gasaki the Taliferos came to the conclusion that honeymooning under such circumstances was what Sher- man said war was, and they decided

SWIFTWATER BILL REPEATS
Famous klondiker Has Annexed An
 other Bride.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 27.-Has the much married and divorced "SWiftwater Bill" Gates added an, other bride to his string of matri- monial romances, or was he merely playing a joke on his friends when he registered the other day at the Palace as William G. Reed and wife Seattle?
 That William G. Reed and the ia, nous klondiker are one and the same is the opinion of many who joined in the search for gold ten years ago in the Alaskan regions and who now spend their time about the hotels of the city.
 One of the house detectives, who has known Gates for years, touched him on the shoulder on Saturday and called his attention to their former comradeship in the Klondike Gates left that same evening
 'Swiftwater Bill' jumped into fame as a competitor for matrimonial hon ors with Nat Goodwin, when he came down from Alaska ten years ago with sack of Alaskan gold He offered Miss Gussie Lamont her weight in gold if she would marry him. Since that marriage he has walked to the altar four times.
