BRAINS ARE BIGGEST
- ASSET ON THE FARM

"The labor side Of farming is
receding to the background and
the brain side is coming to the
'front.' said Professor A. V.
Storm of the agricultural college
in an address before the Henne-
pin county Teachers association
at it's last meeting, Professor
Storm said one Of the reasons
why the boys left the farm in the
past was because the old style OF
farming did not give him chance
to use his brains. Through an
evolution Of conditions, he said,
things have been changed SO that
now there is nothing more valu-
able on the farm than brains.
s'school children must prepare
for their life work in some other
way than by reading books" Pro
fessorr Storm said, ''Boys ought
to study nature in connection
with farming and girls ought to
study it in it's relation to the
homes Boys ought to be taught
to take intellectual delight in
studying the business. If they
want to make a success Of farm
ing they must make use of their
brains to do away with drudg-
erv.

N. d. STATE BANKS
MAKE FINE SHOWING

Grand Forks, May 14.-There
is no surer indication of state
prosperity than that shown by
bank conditions and in that CON
nection it is interesting to note
the State Banks of North Da-
kota which has just been publish
ed at Grand Forks by the new
bank examiner. This statement
shows that the state banking in
stitutions Of North Dakota are
in excellent condition and that
there has been an improvement
during the past few months.
The statement shows that there
has been an increase of loans
and discounts of $1,4l0,422.52
from February 4 to April Al and
during the same time the holding
of real estate other than that up
on which the banking buildings
are located has increased $780,
8O7.31.
Deposits subject to check show
gratifying increase of $1,731,-
43O.28 while demand certificates
Of deposit have increased to the
tune Of $9e, ,955.64 with the time
Certificates of deposit taking a
jump up of $1,Os7, ,597.12. Saw
ings deposits show an increase
of $1,9836.36. The report taken
as a whole shows that the banks
of the state are in good condition
and that their condition has been
materially improved during the
past two months.

Minnesota Law
May Ma Favor Nd.
State Industries May Flour
ish AS q Result Of
Legislation

Minot, N. D., May 13.-Minne-
sofa is aiding the creamery bust
ness in North Dakota. That was
perhaps not the intention Of re-
cent legislation, but will be the
result, unless the centralizing
plants Of the twin cities estab-
lishs pasturizing or refrigerating
plants along the west line of the
state.
The new law requiring that
cream and milk cannot be ship
ped a distance of more than sixty
five miles in hot weather without
,pasteurization or refrigeration is
responsible. In the past cream
has been shipped from almost the
extr9me western part Of North
Dakota to the twin cities Inssome
instances the distance exceeded
500 miles. This will be impossi-
ble in the future.
The cream and milk thus ship
ped killed off local creameries in
North Dakota and with the en-
actment Of the new law steps
are now being taken to establish
creameries in many points in
this state and also to reopen old
.creameries that have been closed.
Large Capitalization plants may
now be ablished in North Da-
kota as q. result Of the new Min
nesota law. Minnesota also bars
the use Of neutralizers and chemi-
Gals for preserving the milk and
there seems no way to evade the
provisions Of the new law if an
effort is made BY the pure food
department to enforce it.

Infuriated Husband
Shoots His Wife
In Frantic Effort to Escape From
Maddened, Spouse She Hid
in q Rainba1rel

Alinot, N. D., May l2.-While
lying in an unused water barrel
into which she had crawled. in the
effort to hide herself from her
infuriated husband with whom
she had quarreled a few moments
before, Mrs. Katie Staff was shot
and instantly killed about 8 o'c-
lock yesterday morning by her
husband, John Staff, a prominent
farmer residing ten miles north
of Minot.
Staff surrendered to the au-
thorities. He is now confined in
the Ward county Jail.
The couple quarreled immedi-
ately after breakfast and the hus-
band left the house in a rage for
the barn, where he kept a rifle.
The wife in frenzy of.fear crawl
ed through a window and sought
a phase to hide, saw the barrel
standing near the side Of the
house, dragged it to the edge of
a plowed field about fifty feet
away, placing it on :>s side with
the bottom or the closed end to-
ward the house. She crawled in
head first.
The husband returned to the
huose with the rifle and failing
to find her inside returned out
doors.
Calling to Jan Piekos, a fell
low countryman visiting with him,
to watch him shoot as he aimed
at the bottom of the, barrel and
fired.
The bullet entered the woman s
body just below the right should
er and emerged above the left
hip.
The dead body was discovered
a few minutes later. The eldest
daughter, Annie, aged IL years,
went to search for her.
Staff claims he did not know
his wife was in the barrel. He
says he was afraid the Children
might take the gun which was
loaded and get hurt, SO he fired it
| off to be on the safe side. He
denied there was quarrel in the
morning, but his children con-
tridict. The neighbors claim he
has made several previous at
tempts to shoot her and the chill
dren, say the parents quarreled
frequently and also abused
them.
There are six children in the
family, the oldest aged IL years
and the. youngest 8 months: E. E.
Sinkler was retained by the de-
fendant.

per that a day so dedicated and
set apart, l, L. B. Hanna, COVER
nor Of the state Of North Dakota,
do hereby designate

day in the state of North Dakota.
Upon that day, let us in our hom'

er of loving tenderness at the
shrine Of motherhood, dedicate
ourselves as we'll to that clean
and wholesome citizenship, whose
lessons the mothers Of this land
have sought to bring to us, by
gentle admonition and wise coun-
sci. Let us seek to renew that
peace of mind, tenderness of hear
and gladness Of spirit that we
knew in the days Of youth. Let
our young people be impressed
with the lessons of love and obe-
dance, and let the day be one
that shall inspire us with the
sacredness Of home, the glory Of

State Of North Dakota, execu-
tive department, Mothers, day. y
a proclamation by the governor: {:
The glory Of motherhood is
held sacred by civilized man
above all earthly relationship. We
can cherish no fonder and dearer
recollections than those Of that
mother who, guided and guarded
us, in infancy, who was const-
ant solace and refuge in youth,
and loving tenderness and kind
ness are the chiefest blessings
Of our manhood and womanhood.
For her lifetime Of unremitting
sacrafice and devotion it is not
possible for us to make any ade-
quate return, since the fullness
of her devotion and the great
ness Of her sacrafices for us know
no measure. It is fitting, never
theless, that we should dedicate
and set apart q day each year to
the glory Of motherhood, and out
of our tributes to the mothers
of this land we may gain renewed
devotion to home, country and
duty, a nobler appreciation of the
purposes of life, and a finer hui
manity and citizenship.

has designated the first Sunday

edy, in his home, seven miles
north Of Regan- 1O:l43-77, early
Sunday morning when he shot
his dog and took another shot
at his wife, swearing he would
kill her. 3.3 4
According to the testimony in
thecase Monday forenoon, which
was heard before Judge Cassel-
man, there was an all night card
party at the Larson home, and
the flowing bowl Of alcoholic
decoctions was passed freely.
Larson and his wife were part
ners and it seems that he be-
came enraged at his wife because
of some poor playing which caus-
ed them to lose to the other two
partners. Along in the. small
hours Larson extinguished the
light and went to the barn with
a lantern, being very much ag-
itated. He was seen to harness
his horses, go to the granary and
secure a large revolver which he
had hidden. q
On coming out Of the barn he
shot and wounded his dog, A
brother Of Mrs. Larson went out
and dispatched the dog which
was badly wounded. Larson fired
two shots in the air. and with
some very. ugly threats against
Others went to the house. His
wife was preparing luncheon
and when STOPPING over near the
stove, Larson shot towards her,
the bullet passing close to her
head and striking the chimney.
She ran to, q neighbor's house
where her brother followed her
and induced her to go home with
him and pack her belongings. Lar
son followed to neighbors 8 with
threats of killing her. Mrs. Lar
son got to Regan and phoned the
authorities here. Sheriff Barnes
accompanied by States Attorney
Brendt went Immediately to the
Larson home where they found
Larson asleep with his gun in
bed with him. He was arrested
and brought to Bismarck. Monda.
morning he was given . prelimi-
nary hearing when he waved ex-
animation and went to Jail.

were sent home and will take. car
