''PaI Shot At
Him But Missed''

Dickinson, n. d., Jan. GA pecu-
liar chain of circumstances caused
the arrest today of Joe Reiser, want
ed in Cando, N. D., for forging the
name of Joe Fink to $24O check
and in Bozeman, Mont, for the mur-
der Of Fink. Two hours after his
arrest Reiser called for Sheriff Geo.
Brown and confessed to killing Fink
in Salesville, Montana, December
%. Reiser had been in Dickinson
several days first trying to get a
check cashed at local bank and
then waiting until it should pass the
Cando bank. Meantime he put up a
hard luck story needing hospital
treatment because of an injured
arm and received personal loan of
$40.
The Cando bank passed the
check but almost at once discovered
the forgery and phoned the local
bank not to turn over the cash. Just
as Reiser was boarding train for
the east, officers received word to
arrest him for the murder Of Fink.
A bank clerk located the man for the
officers. Reiser told the sheriff he
had never been in Jail before and
that he wanted to make clean
breast of it.
He and Fink had been chums all
their lives, their families living to-
gether in Hungary; they came to st.
Paul in 1902, and worked during
harvest near Cando, going west to
Missoula, Butte and Bozeman, and
then out in the country 20 miles to
Salesville, where they were "bach-.
ing" it while looking for work. The
night of the tragedy, he said, they
quarrelcd over the bed covers, Fink
claiming Reiser had more than his
share. The quarrel waxed furious,
Reiser says, and Fink fired at him
but missed; then Fink took an ak
and struck him, injuring his arm.
Reiser says he then got the axe and
hit Fink over the head and killed
him. He had receipts and papers
belonging to Fink and two watches,
two suits of clothes etc.
Reiser is about 38 and has wife
and child in Hungary.

Persian Was
Not Torpedoed

Washington, Jan. 6.-American
Consul Garrels at Alexandria re-
ported that affidavits he had gath
cred from Persia survivors gave no
more proofs that a submarine tor
pedoed the liner, or regarding it's
nationality than were contained in
his first dispatches.
So far the only actual statement
tending to prove that the ship was
torpedoed came from one of the Of
fcers Of the Persia. He said he
saw what he thought was the wake
Of torpedo. No submarine was
seen at the time. The absence of
further definite advices is holding
the situation, so far as any action
by the United States is concerned,
at standstlll.

 Near the apartment house where he lived there lot that obviously intended for baseball although it happened be badly filtered with stones. The boy tried persuade the other lads clean the lot but they interested They couldn't the advantage of going all that trouble be able to play ball.
 Then the discontented youngster went and got lot of bottles and stuck them up upside down, the pckets of the fence around the lot.
 Of all those kids focked into the yard and
 picked up the and threw the bottles Being city boys they couldn't throw very straight by the time they had broken all the bottles they had cleaned up tho whole yard. Then the schemer iu laid out dia- mond and organized a ball game.
 This is story. It is also parable. That wes- tern boy represents the young who go New York from all sections of the country and good-and by pouring fresh blood the old metropolis keep going and make it the business power that it is.

 genial to their and stimulating the best
 their talents More and the girls who do not want teach daring seek the work they really in terested in They learning the rules of the business game and are playing them fairly and honestly.
 This is evidence of general change of attitude toward college women In past the criticism has been made that the college graduate not willing to begin at the bottom that she scorns the small salary that she must while acquiring her experience and worst of all, that she willing perform the drudgery that is the foundation of any kind of real success.
 Perhaps it is all true. There have been many false
 ideas about the use and of college education for girls The young woman who returns to small towr after four years college has road be fore her. The townsolk watch her to whether her education made her any better" than they. They expect her achieve glory and merely by
 ing her diploma If she must do ordinary tasks like
 theirs surely her college useless Even par ens often immediate burst of glory in return for the and time they have given their daughter hat she might have that great thnga college educa
 ion. And the girl herself unconsciousy fears to do
 anything which will to others to be beneath" her
 However. this attitude is slowly changing for modest and satisfactory People forced to nze that college education itself magic for mula that leads to success When develops mind stimulates initiative, supplies good working ideals for iv ing teaches the value of thinking through problem then it has done its work The rest is up the individual .nd depends largely personality and ability
 The undergraduate realizes this before she is turned out the world with her diploma Vocational secretaries business men and women, workers from many walks of life brought into the college speak to the undergraduate And with accord they show the student her faults It's rather painful at the time, has excellent egect in the long run. for pune lures the bubble of conceit supposed to come with higher educaon and sends the graduate into the world with a normal attitude toward her future work
 As college women realize more and more that they work for all they get and that their advantages the girl who has been college merely fit hem to do that work better escape it, they will be willing to take humber tasks until they proved heir right ability fer the greater cnes. And employers realize that the college girl is in when she asks for job they will grow more and willing o give her the chance. And she will make good.

 With the passing of each league of the that feel ing has diminished We realize serious dertaking from which good must inevitably come if the highest hopes of its projectors may be full filled.
 Does this make clear attitude? We hope so. We are not here avowed advocates peace workers, dealists, theorists. We're simply men and women workers job.

and owls, which are enemies Of these
rodents, are continuously prosecuted.
The mice live upon roots, seeds, sue
culent vegetation and bark Of young
trees, and are very destructive to
sweet potatoes and other tubers, as
well as to trees and shrubs.
The most practical method Of con-
trolling this pest is by poisoning.
Sweet potatoes cut into small pieces
have proved to be the most effective
bait. They are prepared as follows:
Sweet potato bait-.Cut sweet pota-
toes into pieces about the size OF large
grapes. Moisten four quarts Of these
and drain of excess moisture. Slowly
sift over them one-eighth of an ounce
Of powdered strychnine (alkaloide,
using a pepper box or salt shaker for
the purpose, and stir constantly to dis
tribute the poison evenly.
One or two pieces Of the poisoned
sweet potatoes should be dropped into
the tunnels through the natural open
ings, or through openings made with
a stick. a systematic use Of this
poison invariably results in an almost
complete extermina, ;on Of pine mice.
These pests are also easily trapped, but
owing to the extra time and labor re-
quired, this method does not compare
favorably with poisoning.
