Snow Hill, Md.-Two men and a
woman were shot to death three miles
from this town by Frank Grano, an
Italian, who gave himself up and was
whisked off to the Snow Hill Jail and
safety just when the countryside was
beginning to seeth with lynching talk.
Grano apparently planned the MUIR

OF love and jealousy. His victims were

he had been employed as a laborer;
Mrs. Robinson, the wife, with whom
he was in love, and Alonzo Redden, a
farm laborer, for whom, he believed,
Mrs. Robinson had shown fondness.

cas- wealth for investment is pour
ing into the safer channel of real
estate and farm lands.
The next twelve months will
see the most earnest and lively land
seeking movement that it has ex-
perienced for generation. With
all the press of this country, the
government itself, and every state
appealing for more farmers, has
convinced the thousands of landless
people that farming is a good bus
mess to go into. The newspapers
reflect the thought and opinion of
the public. Every well informed
person is keen to this topic in its
relation to the high cost of living.
1t makes millions think to learn
that in the last ten years the num-
Der OF tenant farmers increased
twice as fast as the number who
farm their own land, to learn that
the movement, Forward to the
Land is becoming more difficult on
account of raising land values OF
land, which doubled in the last ten
years; to learn that the higher food
prices are the penalty for the pass
ing of the farm lands into the hands
of fewer owners. When we were
boys the farmer drove into town
and had to wait around all day to
find buyer for his load of produce.
In 1880 our nation had 50, 900, 900
people, but now, since that num-
Der has doubled, buyers go to the
farm, submit their bids at the cribs,
stalls and pens and then wait for
the farmers to SELL The price and
demand for everything on the farm
has increased with the growth in
population, the present rate of
which is 5000, 900 a year. And
the price of land advances at the
same pace as the price of its pro-
ducts. From 1901 to 1915, the in
crease in the value of farms in the
United States was So, 900 a

Attend The KadOka
Farmers Short Course

\ .
When person stops and con-
siders that six years ago Jackson
county farmers from the vicinity
of Kadoka, organized and held the
first successful Farmers Short
Course in the state outside of the
one at the Agricultural College at
Brookings, that fact alone should
be great advertisement for the
course which is to be held this year
at Kadoka, on November 2o- 80,
and December / and ?.
The course this year is given un-
der the auspices of the local
Farmers Short Course Association,
whose officers are: FL. +. Haul
man, President; A. G. Granger,
Secretary and Board OF Directors
consisting of Andrew Renning of
Jewett township, Jeff Hoon of Big
Buffalo, and Ben Hughes OF Wall
township. A list of the prizes
which will be given to the success
full contestants in the live stock
and poultry departments is pub
lished elsewhere in this issue of
the Press, and in the issue of next
week we will give you the premium
list for the agricultural and ladies
department. A successful Short
Course means much toward the
upbuildment Of Jackson county,
and the big burden of making the
Course a success, depends upon the
interest taken by our farmers and
stockmen, SO let's all of us go to
work and make the 1915 meeting
the best one yet.

Jackson County
Farmers Buy Cattle

The Press believes it is safe i'm
saying that there has been as many
head of young cattle shipped into
Jackson and Washabaugh counties
the past few months as have been
sent out to market. This being
true, and with the increase that is
to come to our farmers and ranch
men from the herds on hand, means,
that We are to become rich COM
munity in the very near future. A
majority of the many thousand
head shipped in this fall is Young
heifer stuff and it is not hard for
one to foretell the great success
that is in store for us in the cattle
industry. One thing is certain,
that is, that cattle will be worth
big money for several years to
come. Experts who had ought to
know, say that the price will be
strong for ten years and possibly
longer.
There is room for many more
cattle iii Jackson and Washabaugh
counties and when a person as
has been done by many Jackson
county farmer--can sell cream to
the amount of S25 from one COW,
and at the same time raise calf
that will sell at six months old for
another S25, making total of $50
from one animal iii year, we guess
the boys who buy cows have about
the best paying investment that is
going around. Yes, we can all
look for old Jackson county to be
wealthy commonwealth in a very
few years to- come, the cow, the
brood mare and alfalfa, is our S.
little work, not half as hard as
the work done by the renter down
east and success is assured.

the rising prices OF the land in that

RUSSIANS SECURE, 1T
is SAID, ON THE SAN
Teuton Crossing Above Przemysl No Men
ace, Is the Belief in
Petrograd.

Petrograd, May 2l,--The firing of be-
tween two and three millions Austrian
and German shells on the comparatively
short front north of Przemysl, in Ca
1icia, gives some idea of the extreme vlo-
lence of the operations along the San
river front, by means of which the Ger
mans hope to establish themselves firm
ly on the right bank of the river. Into
this small area the Germans are said to
have crowded 1000 field guns in the
closest formation ever seen in battle
being three times the normal number of
guns for such an extent of territory.
-Four days of this terrific artillery fire
enabled the Germans to occupy on the
right bank of the San 20 miles of the
1901 mile course of the river between
Przemysl and Sandomir. The compact
ness and consequent immobility of the
heavy German formation, while success
full in forcing the San between Jaroslau
and Lezochov, is said by Russian army
officers to have prevented the Germans
from executing manGuvres which might

the Germans occupy a portion of the
right bank of the river, the main de-
lenses OF the San appear TO be still

A Breach With the Kaiser's Heir, Is a
Report in

Paris, May 22.--The Journal des De-
bats, an influential conservative paper
learns from an authoritative source that
the crown princess of Germany is about
to Leave Berlin for Russia.
The mother of the crown princess, the
grand duchess dowager of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin, retired from Germany to Rus
STA at the beginning of the war, declaring
that her sympathy lay with Russia in
the European struggle.
The crown prince and crown princess
have four children, the eldest being nine
years old 1t is limited that the step the
crown princess is now taking preludes a
break with the kaiser's heir. The visit,
however, may be interpreted as desire
to be near her mother, to whom the
crown princess is deeply attached.

can nurses to serve in the hospital. The
first detachment will sail about the mid
die of June.
The surgeons and nurses, it is said, are
to be sent at the request of the British
authorities to whom the idea of equip
ping the hospital with American sur
geons was suggested by Sir William Os-
Ter, formerly of Johns Hopkins universe
ty and now professor of medicine at Ok
ford. The idea is to have onefourth of
the American staff comprise men of emf
nent standing, the remainder of the thir
ty-two to be younger men serving under
the masters. The universities, accord

expense of the corps, equipment and

Chairman Walsh then read letter

editors and said many OF them had had
interviews with "our little cowboy gov
ernor,' urging steps TO drive "vicious
agltators" out of the state. The bank
ers were said to have offered to loan the
state money to keep the militia in the
field, so that miners could return to work
and men could come from other states.
Still the governor "hobnobbed with
Hayes, lawson and McLennan and Ell

bring the strike to an end" Reference
was made in the letter to men, apparent

There was another letter on the same
lines. Mr.. Rockefeller said as he did not
write the letters they could hardly state
his policy and was then reminded of six
letters he had written supporting Bow
