BROMEGRAss SEED SURVEY.

The North Dakota Experiment sta
ton has for a number of years carried
on a preliminary survey of b~romegrass
fields, which are being saved by farm
ing purposes. AS there has been no
regular appropriation for this field
crop inspection work, it has largely de-
pended upon the cooperation of farm
ers, seedsmen, business men and other
parties interested in procuring good
bromegrass seed.
Bron1egrass inspection will be con-
tlnued this season. The number of
fields which can be carefully gone ever
and inspected for the presence or alb
sence of quack-grass will depend very
largely upon the cooperation Of the
growers, seedsmen, real estate men,
and others interested, in helping lis to
find the fields and in getting the field
inspector from the railroad station to
the fields to be inspected.
The object of the work is to find
nields OF bromegrass which are fit to be
harvested for seed purposes-free from
the presence of quackgrass. The seeds
or quack-grass are so. nearly similar in
size n character to that of bronze
grass that it is practically impossible
to clean them out. The only way to
quack-grass and fit for sowing purpos-
ESQ that the land on which is sown
Will not be over-run by quack-grass, is
to Inspect the seed producing fields be-
AOtO IACS are AdE fSotSus 20 .
This field crop inspection will also
help the farmers visited because many
of them do not know quack-grass when
they see it, and they may have a few
spots or areas just starting. 1t is the
business of the field inspector to map
out these spots n aid the farmer in
recognizing them. p "".
1t is recommended that seed be saved
from all those farms which are found
to be free from quack-grass. There
would be sale for almost an unlimited
supply of this seed If its purity can be
certified.
The inspection can only be done
while the bromegrass is heading out,
therefore, any farmer, seedman, or 9TH
err parties having fields they would like
to have inspected, should write us at
once. State how many acres you have
in the field. If you have any n%eighbors
who would cooperate with you, we can
arrange a date to visit your locality.
Aside from inspecting bromegrass
fields. the inspectors will also aid the

Upon examining the body it was
found that the man had been shot in
the breast, The course of the bullet
was traced, it travelling upward and
inward and lodging in the posterior
part of the left lung. From the hole
made where the bullet passed through
the ribs it was thought it was a 80

G. o. Westcott, VIM. Loughland and
Charles Goudy acted as coroner's jury
and they returned the following YER

The finding of this body brings to
light the fact that a foul murder has
been committed within the past few
months. Where the body came from
is not known. but it is certain that he
was murdered somewhere up the river
from Nesson. The filings in the
teeth are about the only marks of
identification left and possibly if the
dentist who filed the teeth has a

Take Plenty Of Time to Eat.

There is a saying that rapid eating
ing is slow suicide" If you have form
ed the habit Of eating too rapidly you
are most likely suffering from indiges-
ton or constipation, which will result
eventually in serious illness unless
corrected. Digestion begins in the
mouth. Food should be thoroughly
m~asticated and insalivated. Then when
you have a fullness of the stomach
or feel dull and stupid after eating,
take n of Chamberlain's Tablets.
Many severe cases of stomach trouble
and constipation have been cured by
the use of these tablets. They are
easy to take and most agreeable in
effect. Sold by all dealers.-Advt.

Throughout seaburys charge Beck

around his face. alternately pulling
his ear, pressing his neck, rubbing his
cheek and chin. He seemed at times
to be bored by Seabury's remarks, and
kept looking around the room. Several

so absorbed in Seabury's charge that
she did not catch the glance.
Becker then looked over toward the

Odds for AcQuttal
Heavy wagers were laid today that
Becker would escape conviction for
the murder of Herman Rosenthal.
Books made on the trial give the fol-
lowing prevailing odds:
Five to three that the jury dis
agrees.
Four to three that Becker is ac-
quilted.
Chances of conviction were quoted
at even money.It is said that east side

BUCK CHURCHILL

Insanity VIII be the defense of +. ..
L. Churchill. who claimed TO be a mil
iionaire, and whose xial on a charge
of petit larceny Sarted Thursday
morning before Judge w. A. Funk in
circuit court An answer to the COM
plant of the prosecution saying that
Churchill was of unsound mind was
filed by the attorneys for the defense.
Churchill is charged with having
received $40 from w. II. Carlin, 20
y. Laurel St, and proprietor of a shop
at 105 W. Division St. as part pay
ment on Canadian farm lands. The
work of examining the jury took up
the greater part of the morning and
il was not until shortly before noon
that the first witness, Mr.. Carlin, was
put on the stand.
According 10 Carlin's testimony.
Churchill first came into his place Of
business last February. He said that
the defendant told him he was an
agent for the Robinson Investment
co. Of Battleford, Canada. At first
he refused TO listen TO the proposition
which Churchill put forth, but later
became interested
Churchill then produced postal
cards showing pictures OF the land
which he was trying to sell. Carlin
testified that he became interested to
the extent that he offered 10 buy a
farm of 166 acres.
Leased Back Land
When the local man offered to buy
the land, Churchill refused to sell it
TO him unless he consented TO lease
il back TO him for a period OF from
two TO five years. This. Carlin testi-
fed, he did, making the first payment
of $40. Later he was to have received
free transportation 10 Canada TO see
his farm. For the first two years he
was TO receive one-half of the profits
of the farm and for the last three
years he was TO get three -ifthS of the
earnings
