This is maple sugar time down in
Vermont and some of the other east
ern states. North Dakota boys do
not know the pleasures connected
with the drawing of sap and the man
ufacture of maple sugar. There is no
drink quite so pleasing to the boy as
a draught from the old yellow crock
placed under the elderberry spigot
extending from the auger hole bored
in the hard maple tree in Elder Bax-
ter's front yard, especially when that
boy produced that drink Of the de-
lightful nectar of the gods under the
cover of darkness, unbeknown to the
Elder who wondered why his maple
trees failed to give forth as much
sap as formerly. The lime freeze,
egg matted milk and other modern
connections are good, but we'd rather
have drink of sweet, cool, invigorat
ing sap from Elder Baxter's old ma
pie tree than whole barrel of these
new tangled mixtures.

for these animals. Recently, the city
of Logan, Utah, secured shipment of
rs of the elk, which will be fed in an
enclosure during the winter months
and allowed to run wild in the noun
tains in the summer. All that it cost
the state to get these elk is the cost
of transportation and if Minot desires
herd Of twenty or twenty-five for
her parks, we believe that the money
for transportation can be easily fur
nished by our citizens unless the men,
bers of the park board open their
hearts and the Golfers of their extern
sive funds. The federal government
has been having it's hands full taking
care of the elk during the winter, and
it is on this account only that it has
decided to distribute them throughout
the states. At one time 10000 of the
elk were cared for at the various ran
ches surrounding the park. The elk
will thrive in this climate. The gov

Piker Causes Gamblers Arrest; Lands
in Jail Himself.

Thirteen local men who celebrated
Washington's birthday in rather un-
usual manner, were arrested Tuesday
and fined SIS with 81 costs attached in
each instance, for gambling: They
were in the back room of a building
south of the Dacotah hotel on North
Main street, making money at the rate
of several dollars minute. when one
Of the players had an exceedingly hard
streak of luck. Like a piker, he went
to the police and made complaint,
resulting in the arrest Of his twelve
companions. After they had paid
their fines, one of them swore out a
complaint for the man who "squealed,"
Peter Burnt, who being unable to pay
his fine, is languishing in the city bas-
tile. Peter declares that he will never
sit in a poker game where he consti-
tutes the thirteenth player, and be-
sides he thinks that shuffling the cards
is not just the right thing to do on
the anniversary Of the birth of the
Father of our country.

Better Stallion Dav.

points in "A counties where "better

June 8. This feature will be under
the direction of the State college ex.

purpose the stimulation of a desire for
better horses. 1t will be an annual
event on the first Saturday in June
Guy e. Morrison, live stock specialist
OF the extension department, urges all
South Dakota owners of pure bred
stations to make this one of the big
days of the year by showing in the
towns of their county. This will ad-
vertise the stations and give the
farmers opportunity to choose for
service stations which meet their ap
proval. This will also create more
interest in better horses. Doubtless
merchants of these towns will offer
special market inducements to country
trade.

Peculiar Fertilizer In Tasmania.

Tasmania is great farming and
fruit country and there is good local
market for all the spent oil shale
from the distilling retorts. The rock
from which the oil has been taken
sells at So per ton for agricultural
uses. The assays do not disclose any
rich fertilizing matter in the spent
shale, yet when it is pulverized and
distributed over farming lands and
garden soils it produces such wonder
full results as to make the demand for
it greater than the supply. 1t appears
to act on the soil mechanically by
aerating it, and possibly. by condensing
moisture from the atmosphere and
transferring it to the crops. 1t is ex.
pected that the prices obtainable for
the spent shale will eventually cover
mining and retorting costs.-Dr. Ar

Adviees from San Antonio Declare
Gen. Funston Is Sending 1000 Ad-

Death Not Verified.

| Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, D. C.-The administra
tion is waiting on further reports from
American officers in Mexico before de-
Gliding whether the expedition seeking
Villa shall be withdrawn or reinforced
for further operations.
Indications at the war department
bore out press reports from the front
that the pursuit of Villa was tempo
rarily at standstill.
President Wilson and his cabinet
discussed the Mexican situation brief
ly today in the light of a review of
it's military aspects submitted by Gen.
Funston. 1t was announced later that
the situation was unchanged and that
the administration attitude is unal-
tered. A member of the cabinet ad-
mitted, however. that no final decision
had been reached as to the withdrawal
OF the troops.
Officials would reveal no word of
the report submitted by Gen. Funston.
1t was apparent, however, that it out
lined a situation which required action
in Washington. The line of commu-
nication with Gen. Pershings forces
already is drawn too thin and there is
no disposition here to contradict bor-
der advices that more troops must be
sent if the chase is to be pressed fur
ther.
1t was thought probable, though no
official would talk of this phase of the
question, that the German situation
would have some bearing upon the i'm
pending decision. If break in diplo-
matte relations with Germany is fore
seen by the administration, it is vir-
tually certain that the troops would be
recalled from Mexico Immediately
They would be needed at home, as mil
itary prudence would require that
steps be taken to prepare for eventu-
alities in Europe.
Some officials expressed the belief
that the United States must wait and
see what happened beyond the border
before it could determine whether to
increase the American forces there or
withdraw at once. The report of Viii
las death has not been cleared up as
yet.
