his work grows by that much. The
pride of possession is a stimulating
thing, giving zest that might other
wise be lacking. And reflection upon
the yield of the crop and the prob
ably satisfactory price is a spur to
industry and a help to hope. Thus
the farmer goes up and down his long
rows throwing rich moist earth
around the growing plants, destroy
ing the n~oxious weeds and with his
bosom swelling as the corn grows at
an amazing rate and the field spreads
out around him in a broad area of
emerald. Flowing corn is fun when
one only thinks of it in that way.

ALFALFA TRAIN
PROF. HOLDEN ADVISES THAT
SONS AND DAUGHTERS BE-
COME PARTNERS.

Tyndall, June 20.-One of the
most effective talks that has been
made in the agricultural campaign
through the eastern part of South Da-
kota was given here by Prof. p. G.
Holden, the noted agriculturist. He
spoke in the open from a large plat
form and was eagerly listened to by
the people of Tyndall and by farm
ers who had come in from the sur
rounding country.
The speaker determined the make
up of his audience by asking the peo-
pie to raise hands. A count of the
hands showed that there were a num-
Der from Illinois, some from Nebras-
ka and quite a few from Iowa. An
other raising of hands showed that
there were men in the audience who
were growing 40 acres of alfalfa and
others who had 20 acres, some with
smaller tracts and some with none.
In speaking of the agricultural flu
ture of the northwest, Prof. Holden
declared that there were young peo-
pie in his audience who would live to
see the day when land in this section
would sell for $400 an acre and more
This state" he declared will be the
greatest alfalfa seed producing state
in the union. The eastern states are
growing more and more alfalfa and
they want the hardy seed from the
northwest. With thousands of acres
already in alfalfa, this state is just
beginning to realize the possibilities
of this wonderful plant"
| Prof. Holden also impressed upon
his audience the value of silos and
showed how to build pit silos, which
are particularly adapted to dry re.
gions. He closed his address by urg-
ing the fathers and mothers to take
their children into partnership with
them. He told how a new era started
in his own home when his father and
mother took him and his brothers in
to partnership on the farm-how, af-
ter that, they worked with new en-
thusiasm and determination to make
a success of that farm.

HUERTA AGENT
Formerly a White Lake, South Da-
kota Boy.

White Lake Wave: The Wave is
in receipt of advance. excerpts from
a new book which is shortly to be
issued by John w. DeKay, of Mexico
City, dealing with affairs regarding
the present crisis of affairs in the his
tory of that country. The chief in
terest in the work to us lies in the
fact that John DeKay was formerly
a White Lake boy. All the schooling
which he ever received (Which was
just as little as possible, because he
generally played truant) was gotten
in our public schools before he was
IA years old. As a boy he had no
scruples as to the means used to gain
his point and presumably he has ac-
quired none since. But his genius for
evading the law and escaping the
penalty therefor has been the wonder
of half a world. Some months ago
President Huerta sent him to London
to negotiate a loan and purchase mu-
ntions of war for the carrying on of
his campaign. DeKay was right in
his element. He was used to hob
nobbing with money kings and had
no difficulty in securing the funds of
which Huerta stood in so great need.
The supplies were shipped to Vera
Cruz, but no sooner were they landed
than the United States government
seized them. The evident object of
Delays book is to embroil Uncle
Sam with some of the foreign powers
In addit'@n to his wonderful ability
as a fuancier Mr.. DeKay must be
credited with possessing literary tai
ent of a very high order-a combina-
tion which is exceedingly rare.

FOLLOWED HER VANISHED
NEST.

This story of a thrush that missed
and caught it's train comes from Lii
mavady, in Ulster, Ireland. The bird
had built its nest under a first class
carriage Immediately over the steam
heating pipe, and Notwithstanding
that the carriage travelled between
Limavady and Londonderry, the nest
contained four eggs.
The institution of the summer
service of trains caused trouble. The
carriage left Londonderry in the
evening at 4:40 instead of 1850, and
when the mother thrush, who had
presumably been on a foraging expe-
dition, returned, she found carriage,
nest and eggs had disappeared. She
was noticed at Londonderry in appar-
emit distress, and the station master
appraised Limavady of the circum-

BIRD STUDY
A Series of Articles on the
Habits of Birds That
Visit Madison
IN MEMORY OF SEA GULLs.

Great events in the history of the
country often have been fittingly
commemorated in bronze and marble,
but the monument to the sea gull,
unveiled a few months ago in a beau
tiful park in Salt Lake City, is prob
ably the best expression of mans APP
probation of the services of birds.
The reason for thus honoring the
sea gull, which many readers of Our
Dumb Animals may not know, dates
far back to the year 1913, when the
first settlers of the Salt Lake Valley
were in dire distress over the inva-
sion of grasshoppers which threaten
ed the destruction of the crops and
even all vegetation. Like a mighty
army advanced the winged pests with
no known earthly power to offer them
resistance. So swift was their APP
proach that the settlers themselves
had no time to fee, but awaited the
ravaging hordes, almost panic strick-
en- at the thought of the starvation
which must be their quick and GER
tain end. 1t was then that the gulls,
of which there were thousands a few
miles away on the lake, sensed or
sighted the locust army and gathered
to attack it. With rallying cries they
seemed to come from every direction,
swirled down upon the insects and
devoured them by the millions. The
work of destruction continued for
several days. the sea gulls gorging
themselves upon the grasshoppers UNI
til the latter were completely annihi-
lated.
And so the Utah pioneers were fill
ed with gratitude for the providential
aid of the sea gulls, and when after
half a century their descendants were
asked to contribute to a memorial
which should mark the great service
of these birds, they responded in the
liberal amount of 100000.
The monument consists of a gra-
mite shaft fifteen feet high, on top OF
which rests a great ball, and on this
| two gulls, in gilded bronze, are in
the act of alighting. The pedestal
| bears four historic bronze plaques,
in relief, and is surrounded by a
| fountain forty feet in diameter, in
| which goldfish disport themselves and
| lilies and other water plants are
| growing. 1t is a splendid object les
| son of mankind's dependence upon
the birds and its Indebtedness to
them.

II LILLY WERNER
OF Sioux Falls Charged With the
Murder of Her Infant.

Sioux Falls, June 20.-Charging
that Mrs. Lilly Werner killed her in
FAINT child and is therefore guilty of
murder, States Attorney Bergh has
filed a complaint against the woman
in whose room in the Salvation Army
block the dead body of a new born
babe in a suitcase was discovered
a week ago. The complaint follows
the finding of the c%oroner's jury
which held that Mr.. and Mrs. Werner
had killed the child. Investigation
by the authorities satisfied them that
the woman's husband had nothing to
do with the matter and this vas af-
firmed by the woman who completely
exonerated her husband.
Mrs. Werner is still at a local hos
pital and will not be arrested until
she is ready for removal from the
institution.
The woman in a statement to
Bergh several days ago declared that
the child was born dead and that she
hid ii in the suitcase in which it was
found, to keep the fact from her hus-
band that she had given birth to q
child. Doctors who examined the
child declared on the witness stand
at the coroner's inquest that it was
born alive and it is on this testimony
together with the surrounding cir
cumstances that the charge of muir
der has been filed against the woman

with five small children. A large

to get her crops planted. When the

farm and garden prospects were
much improved. The men, women
and children participating in the vol

with them and made a regular picnic
of the occasion.
