Tree Grub Worms
Do Much Damage

Mrs. Isabella Farag CHER, Of this city,
was a pleasant caller at the Saturday
News Office Wednesday and called the
attention of the editor to something
which is of vast Importance to the
property owners of Watertown. Mrs.
Faragher said in part as follows:
Perhaps yon have noticed that there
have been hundreds OF fine shade and
ornamental trees in this city killed
within the past couple Of years. T
have been making q study Of the cause
of these trees dying AMI find it is
caused by a grub worm which embeds
itself III the tree and drills 1t full tif
holes and finally eats the heart out Of
it. We never knew of such a pest
until the lumber yards and telephone
and electric light companies commest-
Eced to ship worm infected lumber and
poles into this city from the coast
country. observed not long ago
where a telephone pole; had been
broken OFF by the wind that the whole
pole was literally infected with this
worm and the wood was honey-eombed.
Upon Investigation learn that the
worm is shipped into our city and
after due time it becomes a flying in.
sect and then scatters about the city
and deposits Its eggs upon the live
trees and in due time the trees are
thoroughly infected and death to the
tree is certain. Now, do not know
what to do to kill the worm when
once It has infected q tree but i would
like to see the new city administra ation
pass some kind Of an ordinance com
pelling all people who ship lumber
into this country from the coast states
to use some kind Of treatment on the
lumber and poles that would kill the
worm. # something is not done IN
the near future there will not be a
live tree left in the city of Water
town.

Trial Of Murderer
Of Jack Mclaughlin

We take the following from the Car
'rington IN. ID Weekly independent,
lof April 4th which gives q full and
complete report Of the trial OF Frank
Sronfe, who was convicted Of man
slaughter IN the killing Of John NC
Laughlin, a former well known res \
dent Of Watertown, Jack, McIlaugh-
lin, as he was fa.niliarly known to
hundreds of citizens Of WatertoWn and
Godingtnn county, was murdered in
q hotel at McHenry, N. D., the latter
part of February. The account Of
the trial will be read with interest
by his many friends in this vicinity.
Frank Sroufe, until a month ago
landlord Of the U. G. 4. hotel In No
Henry, was found guilty of man
slaughter in the first degree, for the
killing Of John Mclaughlin in his
hotel office February "a, by Foster
county jury in district court Satur-
day evening, and his term in the
penitentiary was fixed by the twelve
men at twelve years. the heaviest
sentence that has ever been imposed
for any crime in the history Of this
county The jury was out about ten
hours before arriving at the verdict.
ut was very pathetic scene In The
court room about 10 o clock Saturday
evening Wien the jury was brought In,
to deliver It's verdict The court of
ficials and attorneys were oil present.
together with the j,irynnen and Srouss.. 4.
The defendant had been very nervous
throughout the trial and ms sentence
was about to be passed he entirely col
lapsed and cried like a child. Judgs
Coffey read the verdict and passed
sentence on the accused at once. It
was with difficulty that sroufe was
able to walk back to his cell in the
county jail. issS5s
9 Sroufe was taken to the peniten-
#tiary Monday afternoon BY Sheriff
Atkins. II had been arranged for his
wife, who has been with her parents
at Intake, Montana, since the shooting.
to meet the husband at Bismark be-
fore he was delivered over to the penl,
tentiary ofiicials. The term Of twelve
years can be cut down to nine years
by good behavior on the part Of the
prisoner.
Mrs. Mclaughlin, sthe woman in
the case, was not put on the stand
and but little reference was made to
her In the testimony introduced by
either side. But in the arguments
to the jury she was given considera.
Ible attention that was far from fiat
tering.
The verdict OF the jury meets with
very general approval. Sroufe's ow,
testimony on cross-examination Fri
day afternoon dissipated the selfsde,
fense theory and the question ii
whether or not the fatal shot was
fred accidentally was the only gro,tt. d
left for an acquittal On the murder
| charge.
tThe Sroufe trial has besn q re.
markable one in that the Testimony
introduced BY the state and Nv the
defense has been almost Identical
Eonly on one or two OF the essential
details was there any difference.

a Great Superintendent of Rural

Berks County, Pennsylvania, has
made his county schools model for
the country. His essential idea II
that farm children should b. edu-
the various improvements which Mr.
Rapp has Instituted the author Of the
article goes on to say =:
There are many other ways In
which Superintendent Rapp has En-
deavored to improve The rural
schools OF the county, but none has
aroused as much interest as the
Boys Agricultural Club and the
Girls Domestic Science Club. All
over Berks county boys and girls are
to be- found wearing the emblems OF
these two organizations, one reading
Boys Agricultural Club or Berks
County, with the words Better Farm
ing in the center, and the other
Girls Domestic Science Club Of
Berks county, surrounding the motto
Better Housekeeping. Each year
these clubs have 80 exhibition IT.
Reading which il miniature county
fair The boys show vegetables,
field crops and poultry in prize con-
tests, while the girls display dainty
products of their needle as well AZ
bread, pies and other articles.
"One effect OF these contests has
been to stimulate the interest OF the
parents in better farming methods
and to increase their respect for the
rural school and for agricultural
training in general. In some instan-
ces the boys have been able to grow
better crops than their fathers ever
have produced. Moreover, the farm
ers and their boys have been brought
into closer relationship and have
come to understand each other bet
