is not at the present time a violation
of the Iowa state law.
The federal authorities are under the
direction of a chief warden, eight
district inspectors and two special
agents. These wardens are distributed
in twenty-seven states. chiefly in the
middle states, the Mississippi valley,
the Great Basin and on the Pacific
coast.
Inspectors in the interior districts
are now concentrating their efforts in
the states Immediately adjoining the
Missouri river south of Omaha and
the Mississippi river between La
Crosse, Wis. and the mouth of the
Ohio.
More than 125 convictions have
been reported thus far, although re-
turns have been received from COM
paratively few OF the states. Every
case thus far prosecuted in the feder-
al courts has resulted in conviction
and the imposition OF a fine.

Editor of The Argus: AS 1

your kindness to attend the state
short course in agriculture in Ur-
bana, it is pleasure to tell you
what 1 have seen and heard.
1.-The day following my arrival
was taken in registering and To-
eating my boarding place. The
first lecture 1 attended was on
the study of soils. From this 1
learned about taking off crops,
such as oats, wheat and rye,
which take nitrogen out of the
soil. In replacing nitrogen to the
soil, a grain farmer should take
the straw as soon as it is threshed
and put it over the land and pillow
it deep. A dairy man should re-
place the nitrogen by putting man
ure back before evaporating.
Il learned about inoculating the
soil for alfalfa. 1t should be done
in a common way by good drain
age and applying limestone. 4
knowledge of the needs of alfalfa
is necessary to successful growing
and many failures in attempts to
grow alfalfa in Illinois is due 10

FOUND MURDERED
Body of John j. Kellet, Who
Disappeared Last December

The mystery over the disappearance
of John ]. Keilet, former resident of
Davenport, who vanished after leaving
Up yesterday, when the body was
found floating in the Sacramento
river. According to circumstances
surrounding the case il appears as
though he was robbed and then MUIR
dered. The deceased had been visit
ing his father, who lives at 800 Harris
street.
He left the city December 81 to go
to Sacramento, Cal, where he had
made his home for the past three
years. He carried considerable money
and wore several diamond rings at
the time he left, and when the bo,ry
was found all of the pockets of his
clothes were turned inside out and the
valuables missing. The left side of
his skull was also crushed by some
heavy instrument. The coroner's Jury
at Sacramento returned a verdict of
death caused by being struck with
heavy INSTRUMENT in the hands of
some person or persons unknown.
The deceased was 81 years old and
born in 1877. He was we'll known in
Davenport. having been employed at
the old Republican office and at the
Times in the capacity of linotype
operator.
The remains will be sent to Daven-
port for burial and will arrive there
Saturday or Sunday.

They should have good warm

taken with identifying country

have evergreens or some other
trees around the yard. The house

With the approach of spring and
fo- the river sport. there still exists
In the minds of some the opinion that
spring shooting is no violation OF the
laws. As a matter OF fact the new
federal law prohibiting the killing OF
migratory birds in zone No. !, In
which Illinois IS included. from De-
cember Is to September I, Is now in
effecs and there can be no legal duck
hunting in Illinois until next Septem-
Der.
Among hunters there has been an
inclination to construe the law 10
mean that the federal game statute
would not take effect until after April
Is. 1914. but their hopes for spring
shooting were blasted by the following
letter from the attorney OF the Illinois
Game and Fish Conservation commits
sion:
I'm response to numerous inquiries
regarding the effect of the Federal
Migratory Bird law. we have answer
ed that such an enactment is the law
of the land until repealed or declared
unconstitutional by a court OF compe-
tent Jurisdiction.
I'VE hold the state law in such
particulars as it conflicts with the
national Law is imperative. and any
state license issued would not be pro-
lection to the holder thereof from
prosecution by the federal authorities
for violation OF the federal law.
1T IS the duty OF every law-abidfng
citizen to aid in the enforcement of
the law. and the game wardens of
Illinois are charged with the same
duty as other citizens in this respect
They have no official duty in the

that any shooting OF ducks along the
river IS against the law of the ma

IL Was Called "Wreckine" In Carthage
In ST. Augustine's Time.
At most American colleges it is called
"hazing;" at West Point it is called
Crawling" and at English schools

''wrecking.'
In translation of his Confessions
for which l am indebted to learned
clerical friend, st. Augustine relates
what the boys did at the University of
Carthage,
Il would take no part in the wild do

of freshmen and the unproyoked af-
fronts with which they carried on theii

be more like the conduct of devils. and
