No Evidence of
foul Play Found

Devils Lake, N. D., Feb. 2.-Robert
Epp, held by the Ramsey county
authorities in connection with the
death of Mrs. Emil Eich, at the time
her home was destroyed by fire last
week, has been released from custody.
E. T. Cuthbert, states attorney, said
today that careful investigation had
failed to reveal any evidence which
would warrant a criminal charge
against the suspected man, and the
opinion of the authorities now is that
he is innocent.
A similar conclusion was reached by
a detective who was brought from
Minneapolis to Investigate the matter.
DR.. Ruediger has made careful ex-
animation of the portions of the body
which were submitted to him, and re-
ported by telephone today to Mr..
Cuthbert that he had found nothing
to indicate that Mrs. Eich had met
with foul play.

Prof. ACher Spoke
At Methodist Church
(From Monda.'s Daily.


The address given in the Methodist
church last night by Professor Acher,
was listened to by large and appre-
ciative audience. While reporting the
findings of the recent Race Betterment
Conference which met at Battle Creek
Mich, still it was so saturated with
personal convictions and ideas as to
prove Of unusual interest and helpful
ness. 1t will be remembered that
Prof. Acher organized and carried into
most successful execution the idea of
Children's Welfare Conference at last
summers ChautauQua. He will again
be in charge during the 1914 Assembly
and has plans perfected for the largest
and most successful conference ever
held in this country.
In this connection the fact ought to
be noted that Mrs. Acher is also most
enthusiastic worker along these lines.
At recent meeting of the executives
of the Women's Clubs of the city she
was able to make the pleasing an
nouncement that Mr.. WaldrOn, man
ager of the New Grand Theatre, had
offered to finance the conference for
the next assembly. This is indeed a
most generous offer and the people of
the city will no doubt manifest their
appreciation not only of Mrs. Acher's
enthusiasm, but of Mr.. Waldron's gen.
erous help.

TO NATIVE COWS FOR DAIRY

fat by the. Holstein's amounts to II
cents by the native heifers 20 cents
saving of 20 per cent in favor of the
Holstein.
Besides furnishing about 80 per cent
more of skim milk worth for feeding
calves and pigs at least rs cents pei
cwt.
In fact this comparison does not
take into account the fact that a
dairy COW will maintain her milk flow
for at least month longer than oul
common cows, a clear gain, the
amount of which cannot be determin
ed until the end of the year.
If for instance, we assume that the
same rate of production is maintained
in both cases for 10 months. We have
then from the native heifer 206 pounds
of butter fat worth at soc per pound
S61.8O, from the Holstein 1921 pounds
worth at 80 cents s9O36, or $3.50
more.
This amount will more than double
the greater worth of the calf from
the native COW if it happens to be a
bull calf. If heifer calf is what we
get from our Holstein it is worth
more than 4 heifer calf from our ma
tive COW, probably as much more as
the difference between the value of the
bull calves.
From the above we notice that two
Holsteins equal three of our grade
COWS in value returned. Not taking
into consideration the care Of the
third COW which is the one thing our
farmers are afraid Of.
If any COWS are to be MIXED, milk
those that return fair profit.

THE EDITOR By A BOY.

A little boy in a certain school was
given the task of writing an essy on
"The Editor" and this was the aston
ishing result Of his effort:
II don't know how papers came to
be in the world, and don't think God
knows, for he amt got nothing to say
about them in the Bible. think the ed
itor is the missing link we read of and
stayed in the bushes till after the food
and then went out and wrote things up
and has been here ever since.
II don't think he ever died. / never
saw dead one and never heard of one
getting killed.
Our paper is mighty good one, but
the editor. goes without underclothes
all winter, hardly ever wears socks,
and pa amt paid his subscription
since the paper started. / asked pa If
that was why the editor dressed so
poorly and had to go to bed when he
had his shirt washed. Then pa got
mad and gave me licking. If the edi-
tor makes mistake, people get awful
mad and talk awful about him and say
they won't read the paper and try to
get everybody to quit advertising in
it, but when they make mistake
themselves they get mad if the editor
says anything about it in his paper.
Sometimes when the editor makes a
mistake there are lawsuits, and swear
ing and an awful big fuss, but If a doc
tor makes mistake there is a funer'
al, cut flowers and silence.
Il don't think would care to be an
editor. He has too hard a row to hoe.
People expect too much of him. A
doctor can use an awful long word If
he wants to, If an editor uses a long
word he has to spell it. Any COLLECT
can make business man or preach
er, or doctor, but an editor has to be
born"

& That the strictly dairy cow is far
superior to our native stock as money
makers from a dairy standpoint, has
been clearly proven from results al
ready obtained by the Leal-Wimble-
don Testing Association.
Through the efforts Of The Better
Farming Association a car load of
high grade Holstein heifers were plac-
ed in the vicinity of Leal and Wimble-
don. These we're held to freshen in
the fall, the time that all milk cows
should freshen if more than ordinary
results are desired.
At present these are in milk and
from those in the Testing Association
we are able to get direct comparison
with all native stock in some cases
owned by the party and receiving
identical care.
The comparison is made between
these Holstein grades and between our
native heifers of same age and which
have freshened this fall.

Summarizing We find that the aver

more butter fat during the month than
our native heifer. This amounts to
practically one.third or 80 per cent
more. True the cost of feed was great
er but not in proportion as we find the

Mother Jailed for Abductins Her
Own Child-Mrs. Annie Horn of Gen.
terville, Iowa, is now occupying a cell
in the house of detention because she
kidnapped her own son from the Iowa
Soldiers Orphans home. Yesterday
she was arraigned in police court on
a charge of "enticing away a child"
and her case was continued until to-
morrow. Last April Mrs. Horn came
to Davenport and placed her 6-year-old
son, Doris. in the orphans home. She
signed the necessary papers, but with
the understanding, so she claims, that
the boy was to be turned over to her
at such time as she wished. Saturday
she visited the home and asked Super
intendent Sessions to surrender her
child, but the request was refused. Re-
turning Sunday afternoon, while the
boy was playing about the grounds,
she induced him to accompany her,
taking him to her place of residence
on Brady street. Superintendent Ses-
sions notified the police OF the kid
naping and Detective Phelan placed
the woman under arrest Authorities
at the orphans home made the follow
ing statement in regard to the case in
question: THE boy was committed
to this institution by an order of court
from a Centerville Judge and cannot
be released until we receive a similar
order. When the boy was brought
here the mother had no control over
him. Before any child is released, we
make an investigation as to the care |
It is to receive and make certain that i
