A Banner Calf.

c. E. Newby, living mile
and a half northwest of Fair
mount, butchered a calf this
week that was nine and a half
months old, and brought the
handsome sum of $3l S5. .
The calf dressed $40 pounds,
the hide alone weighing Is
pounds. Some time ago Mr..
Newby sold two calves that
brought him nearly $4,000 on
the block. Mr.. Newby says the
$3l.s5 calf was easy money, and
at that, he only sold the quart
ers at Z and 8 cents. per pound.

idea as to how widespread has become
the interest in the Mona Lisa" may

what to give as wedding present to
another young couple. Let's give
them a copy Of Mona Lisa,'" finally
said the young wife. II saw beauty
In an avenue shop the other day."
The young husband agreed, and the
copy was duly despatched to the home
of the bride to be. On the night of
the wedding the young couple who
had given the Mona Lisa" strolled
into the room where the presents were
on display. Imagine their chagrin and
dismay to find the walls of the room
fairly covered with copies of Mona
Lisa" several of them duplicates Of
the one they had sent.

Professor Koch's 8 Readlnqs.


In the lecture-reading that is
to be given by Professor Fred
rick H. Koch of the state uni
versity in our city Tuesday
evening the 9th of January, the
lovers of the good and the
beautiful in literature and
everyone who is ca pable of re-
spending to the thrills inspired
by the langrage of the immor-
tel SHAKESPEARE will be afford
ed a real treat. Professor Koch
has been connected with the
English department of the uni.
versity for the past seven years,
and is very we'll known to the
people of the state as Shakes
perian lectNrer and reader. HE
training and experience have,
been such as to make him an
authority OH these themes.
During a years European trav
el, he visited Shakespeare's
country and many of his favor
lite haunts, among them Strat
ford on Avon, The Globe Thea
ter and Ann Hathaway's cot
tage. He also visited Padua,
Verona, Venice Athens, Alex
andria and other cities famous
as the scenes of some of Shak-
espeare's best plays. He has
made a special study of all of
these scenes as we'll as of the
art and customs of, many other
places from which material for
these wonderful works of liter
ature were drawn.
His experience as lecturer
covers three years on the ly.
ceum platform, lecturing in the
leading cities of the Atlantic
coast. He lectured in England
in 1908 and at the University of
California during the summer
of 1910. His special line at the
university at present is Drama
tic literature. He is sent out
as other lecturers are sent out
by the Bureau OF Educational
60 Operation at the university
with the idea of bringing the
resources of the university as
near to the people as possible.
His lecture here will be under
the auspices of the Women's
Literary Club in conjunction
with the High School. Re.
member the date and the place.

have done. At the last session
of the Legislature a law was
passed placing the sheriff's Of

as other offices but on account
of constitutional provisions the
law could not take effect until
the terms of sheriffs then in Of

of death or resignation will not

state until January, 1918. The
law will affect Sheriff Robbins,
however, and he will draw a
salary of $2,400 per year and
turn over to the county all ices
he collects, making a report
monthly. In only one other
county does the same condition
exist as here, the sheriff of
Billings county having died the
same week as Sheriff Moody,
necessitating the appointment
of a new man in his place. In
this county the fees have us

The first head to fall as a re-
suit of this move was Bert
Hull, middle law student of

candidate for the varsity track

Gopher track team and who
last fall acted as assistant
manager of university athle-
tics.
IGNORANT OF TRANsGREsSIONS
Hull, with number of other
track team candidates appear
ed before the eligibility COM
mittee last week and was
closely questioned as to the
state of his athletic conscience.
In the course of the question
ing, according to Hull, Prof.
James Paige asked him If he
ever received any money from
the athletic board of control
siuce he entered the university.
Hull said that last fall he was
recompensed for selling tickets
at the Chicago football game
and he was forthwith pro-
n ounced ineligible for further
participation in athletics by the
faculty inYuisitors. Hull, like
other students who were on the
grill, was not aware that re-
ceiving money in return for
labor performed on Northrop
Field constituted a transgres-
sion against the Big Eight code
of ethics. He was dunn bfound-
ed.
He said yesterday that the
work was done on the field and
the money received openly and
above board and that he had no
idea that he was making him
self a professional athlete. He
