WARNS AGAINST PORK.
Government Advises People to Guard
IT, = Against Disease.

To prevent the spread of trichi-
nosis, a dreaded disease little known
to the American people, the departe
ment Of agriculture at Washington
has issued a warning against the con-
sumption of raw or uncooked pork
products, the declared source of the
malady.
In many districts of the country,
particularly in sections with large
foreign populations, the statement
said, large quantities of pork are con-
sumed during the Christmas season,
resulting frequently in cases of seri-
ously impaired health, if not in fatal
titles.
The department aserts that during
November and December of 1911
there were ffty-eight cases of trichi-
nosis that terminated fatally in one
California community. In each in
stance the disease was traced to sau-
sage, eaten uncooked. Other out
breaks Of the disease with many IA
talities are cited

COAL IN EASTERN
MARSHALL COUNTY
WELL DRiLLER STRIKES Ignite
COAL IN TOWN OF MOOSE
RIVER.

The Middle River and Holt papers
Last week announce the discovery of
Ignite coal on the farm of John A,
Anderson in section 81 town of
Moose River. Tom Knutson, the
well drilLer, struck the vein while
drilling well at depth of 55 feet
and at the time the report reached
Middle River, had gone through SIX
feet Of it and was still drilling in
coal. Altho the coal was very finely
chopped up by the drill. Mr.. Ander-
son tried gallon of it in a cook
stove and it made a very hot FIRE. It
appears to be good grade of Ignite
Mt: knutson intends to sink more
holes in the immediate vicinity to
discover how large field there is Of
it.
The Northern Light at Holt, states
that gas and small veins of coal have
been discovered in different parts of
the Mud Lake region before.
If the coal proves to be of a sufH-
cient quantity, it will be but a very
short time before the proposed rail-
roads in eastern Marshall county,
will be a reality.

AN EXCITING RABBIT HUNT.
Mellette, s.. d., Dec. /

Meliette, >. T., DeC. 13, 1918. 1
Editor Warren Sheaf-
Dear Sir: Enclosed you will find
the account ofa jack rabbit hunt
which took part in last Tuesday the
9th, near Millette, S. D. The Satur-
day evening before the neighbors in
a certain school district met at the
school house to organize. Two CAP
tains were chosen, each one choosing
alternately, there being % men on a
side.
The hunt was to take place on the
following Tuesday, all rabbits to be.
in by o'clock same evening. The
losing side was to furnish an oyster
supper for the winners, also to wait
on them during the supper and If any
supper was left the losers could have
it. Also the losing side had to dis
pose ofrabbits at best advantage to-
pay for the supper; If not enough
rabbits were slaughtered that day,
they would have to pay. the differ-
ence out OF their own pockets. Az
daylight many Of the farmers were.
from 10 to 20 miles frfom home and
then hunted towards home. Some had
autos, some buggies, while others
had lumber wagons driving across
fields and anywhere. Thesday being
an ideal one, very mild and clear, T
certainly enjoyed it. About = D. M.
they began to arrive from all direc-
tions. Then the captains got busy
and think it was one Of the most
exciting times I ever saw, each side
thinking they were ahead until $3.50
the final count was taken I was
lucky enough to be on the winning
side. The score was 218 to 2O6. To-
tai, 424 rabbits, averaging 8 lbs. each
OR 1892 lbs, filling basket rack and
making a good load for a two horse
team to haul to town, the same to be
shipped to the cities for market.
Yours very truly,
w. Fl. Grange.

Remarkable remains Of a pre-
historic civilization were recently dis
covered in the neighborhood of Po-
nape and I,ele, in the Caroline islands,
by a man named Peterson, who has
returned to Sydney, Australia, after a
tour of the group. The ruins are Of a
massive character, the region, indeed
resembled sort of Venice, the origin
of which was wrapped in mystery.
Hundreds Of acres were covered by
the remains of walls, canals, and
earthworks of a stupendous solidity
that was quite beyond the capacity
of the present-day aborigines of the
group. There were old roads paved
with stone blocks. and ancient stone
platforms. which may have been con.
nected with some religious cere-
monies of an unknown and superior
race Of mankind.
