brief. offerings becoming light. The close

world shipments eased wheat. December
and recovered to S93zc.
The market later hardened a little owing
to temperatures being too cool in Mime
with December at S912c, the same as Sat
urGay night.

cember which at the outset was 43s5c to
431kc, showing a fall of sc to &c, touched

WEALTHY FARMER sulolpEs

Pisek, N. D., Dec. 26.-James
Vikmund, known as one of the
richest farmers in this part of
the state, committed suicide at
his home about two miles north
Of here yesterday afternoon. He
used a revolver to end his life,
shooting himself through the
heart. The suicide occurred in
the granary at about one-thirty
o'clock, while the rest of the fam
lily members were at church. One
of the sons, on entering the gran
ary, discovered the body about
three quarters of an hour later.
No cause for vikmund's suicide
can be given, although 1t is be-
lieved by local residents that fam
lily troubles had somethin gto do
with it. A coroner's inquest was
held later in the day and a YER
dict of suicide was returned.
Vikmund was one Of the most
prosperous farmers in the vici-
nifty Of Pisek, and his suicide has
created somewhat of q sensation
in the community. He leaves a
wife and four sons and four
daughters.

EXTENSION LECTURE ~

A wise man of Old England
said "The greatest study of man.
kind is man." Since men began
to think connectedly, they have
been speculating over the mys-
terry Of human life and the work
Of the different organs of tho
body. Mysticism and supersti-
ton have filled in the gaps in
knowledge. The story Of our real
fund of information regarding
ourselves has grown with tho
years and the centuries forms
the basis Of the lecture by Dr..
George H. Caldwell Of the medi-'
cal college, state university. Tho
title of this lecture is "The Was
and is About Ourselves" Janu-
ary z, 1913, is the date and tho

Fargo, ~. H., dec. 26.-BetteT
protection for and the preserva-
ton of the bird life of North Da-
kota, and for that purpose the
study Of birds, are strongly urg-
ed in bulletin just issued by DR..
w. r. Bell of the North Dakota
agricultural college. The doc
tor is at the head Of the biologi-
cal work and his bulletin is made
the special feature of the last is
sue of the Extension.
While North Dakota is not sup
posed to have large variety of
bird life, the Investigations of the
biological survey Of the federal
government has disclosed that
there are over $40 varities seen
here during the year. AT least
sixteen varities remain here dur
ing the winter.
The bulletin endeavors to
reach the boys and impress them
with the value of bird life in the
destruction of seeds, insects and
small mammals that are a const-
ant menace to property, espec-
tally grain. OF all the varities of
bird life outside of game birds,
the bulletin urges warfare on on
lily the English sparrows, black
bird and crow, the harp-skinned
hawk and the great horned owls.
All the rest; even other varities
of hawks and owls, are shown to
have great value in the destruc-
tion of mice and insects.
The state has a game associa-
tion which protects birds Of val
ue to sportsmen. The North Da-
kota Audubon society seeks to
preserve other bird life and has
q large membership over the
state.
There are national and state
game reservations at Stump lake,
Nelson county; Chase lake, stuts-
man county, and Bird island in
Devils Lake. Residents Of the
Turtle mountain country and GER
tain districts Of. the Missouri
slope demand reservations there,
and they maj be created.
The federal department has
men. on biological survey OF
the state who have discovered q
great man yvarities Of birds not
popularly known to visit this
state even temporarily.

LEGISLATIVE
COMMITTEE
Of County School uperintendents
Held An Interesting Meet
ing at Fargo.

At a meeting of the legislative
committee Of county school sup
erintendents held at Fargo last
week Supt. Barnes of Richland
coutny was chairman.
Among the changes in the
school laws which they recon-
mended are the following:
1. Greater cooperation be-
tween the Offices of state and coun
ty superintendent. This can be
accomplished in two ways, first
by relieving the state superintend
ent from membership, or at least
the secretaryship, on one or more
OF numerous state boards, which
at present are apt to engross his
attention. Secondly, provision
should be made for at least two
assistant state supenrintendents
in the nature of field deputies, to
|,(a) confer with the county sup
|erintendents in their Offices on
methods and devices in county
administration; (b) cooperate
with them and with the state ru-
raj aid Inspector in field work !;
(c) aid in school officers meet
ings, teachers Institutes and
teachers training schools, and,
(d) assist the state superintend-
ent at Bismarck as needed.
2. Action looking towards an
amendment of the constitution
and eventually the selection of
county superintendent by meth
DDS similar to those in effect in
cities, prior residence not being a
prime requirement.
3. A more adequate basis for
meeting the county superintend-
'ents' travelling expenses. The
average loss at present has been
found to be about three dollars
out Of eight. superintendent are
obliged to manage so as to get
in considerable unnecessary rail-
road travel in order to get out
even on expenses. Something like
actual cost Of travel by team or
Automobile sholud be repaid to

SHOOTS Hts WIPE
The ooronse's Jury nsturns Yer
dlst. q llanslaushtsr Ii the
Flrse pssrs&

Last Sunday night John Pecor
shot and instantly killed his wife
with q large caliber rifle. I'm
mediately after the shooting he
gave himself up to the chfef Of
police.
Pecor's story is that he came
home Sunday evening and his
wife accused him of drinking,
claiming she smelled liquor.
She went to the bureau drawer
and secured a revolver which he
had placed there a short time be-
fore. She pointed the revolver at
her husband which caused him
to back toward the pantry door
where there was a large rifle. He
secured the rifle and his wife
made the remark that he could
not shoot with that as she had
removed all Of the shells. He
went over near the bureau with
the rifle to see If it was loaded and
while examining it it was dis
charged, the ball striking his wife
back Of and under the arm and
coming out at the breast.
A coroner's jury was empanell-
ed and a verdict was returned
that the husband should be held
to the district court on the charge
Of manslaughter in the first de-
gree.
N~The Pecors came to Hankinsen
last fall from Minneapolis and
he engaged in the meat business
in the former place. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Pecor have been well
liked by neighbors and acquaint-
ances since coming to Hankinson.
He is a man about 81 or 90 years
Of age. and his wife was abQnt
four years younger. 80
