Piggers in Danger

A meeting of those interested in
the matter of keeping the county
free from illicit liquor sales was held
Thursday evening when matters of
grave concern reported from various
parts of the county were discussed.
The meeting was in the nature of a
private conference.
So far there have been few COM
plants about the existence of blind
pigs in the county but there are rum
ors. Those interested in law enforce
ment propose to keep close watch.

HOLDS HIS WHEAT
FOR BETTER PRICES
John Pearson and Brother See
No Necessity for Selling their
Last Years Crop

John Pearson, a retired farmer who
is making Morris his home and who Is
devoting his spare moments to useful
ness about the Morris Auto Garage,
sees no necessity for excitement over
falling grain prices. While the bears
are creating panic in the wheat pits
of the country Pearson only smiles.
He has eighteen hundred bushels of
choice wheat on hand. His brother
over at Peever, S. D., has five thou
sand bushels but not a kernel from
the Pearson granaries will be sold till
the bulls get an inning and boost the
prices to $1.28, the figure the. Pear
son boys have agreed upon as their
selling price. Within the past ten
days wheat prices toppled almost
thirty cents per bushel. Most any
body else with seven thousand bushels
of good grain on hand would not be
wearing the bland smile the Pearson
boys display.
Mr.. Pearson is a close follower of
the war reports, knows where each
general and his troops are stationed
and the prospects of their next prob
able move. He is primed full of facts
and figures concerning the worlds
visible supply of wheat and the daily
demand of the nations now seeking
imports. He is of the opinion that
present conditions do not warrant the
prevailing low prices on grain. He
thinks the war price should, and will
soon be $3.50 or more per bushel.
The transportation problem and the
manipulation of American money in
terests have combined to keep down
the prices, Mr.. Pearson thinks, and
he cites the German submarine pro-
clamation as the immediate cause of
the present slump.
Last fall when the allied nations
were seeking the stupendous loan in
the United States and James ]. Hill
and other American millionaries came
into the west with advise that farm
ers sell their gain at once. Mr.. Pear
son did not share the views. Wheat
was selling in this city at 76 cents
per bushel at the time 1t rose to
$1.25 thereafter which showed Pear
sons knowledge of actual conditions
was correct. ag
Reports from various sections of
Stevens county indicate very little
wheat in the farmers granaries. Mr..
Pearson is one of the very few who
has any great amount on hand and
probably the only one who can boast
of eighteen hundred bushels. Just
how soon wheat will reach his selling
figure he does not know, but he thinks
it will be soon.
Mr.. Pearson spent several days at
Peever last week, returning to Morris
Tuesday morning. He stated he found
very little snow at Peever, and that
automobiles were in common use.
Peever is located about ten miles
onthwest of Browns Valley.

Morris Ice for Alberta

W. L. Kessinger made a business
trip to Alberta Monday in connection
with the shipment of carload of ice
to several business men who are be-
ginning the use of Pomme de Terre
ice instead of the ice taken from Lake
Hattie. The cost of getting the ice
by rail from Morris is a trifie more
than it would be if the ice were hauled
by team from the lake, but bad roads
and a scarcity of men and teams this
year led them to investigate the
feasibility of getting their supplies
from Morris. The Alberta men are
we'll pleased with the change so far
and will probably repeat the perform
ance next season.

After talking with farmers in the
different parts of Stark county, the
Press is inclined to believe that the
wheat acreage this year is 20 per
cent smaller than it was in 1915, and
the worst feature of it is that a great
deal of the grain has been drilled
into the stubble. The flax acreage
will perhaps be the largest in the
history of the country, but even at
this the total grain acreage will
likely be Is per cent less than it was
a year ago. It has been an unusually
cold and backward spring. Early the
land was too wet to work, thus max
ing the seeding period altogether too
short for farmers who had much
blowing to do. Those who finished
their blowing last fall were all right
and have their usual acreage and the
finest kind of prospects. Corn will
also be a short crop this year, as
farmers did not feel like planting
heavily during the cold weather which
prevailed throughout the month of
May. The ground is wet down to a

WILSON ON FUTURE DIPLOMACY

Speaking on the one cause of the
war which he feels at liberty to dis
cuss, President Wilson resents and
condemns the secret diplomacy which
brought it about. If the light Of pub
licity had been flashed into the inner
workings of European diplomacy, if
the causes which led to the war had
been discussed openly and in the full
light of day, if all the parties to the
quarrel had been able to foresee just
how the rest of the world would be
aligned when the clash came, there
would have been no war. That is the
opinion of the president. Therefore,
a more wholesome diplomacy is one
of the imperative needs of the future.

DANDELION CROP is BIG

the same complaints. So troublesome
are the dandelions in yards at Man

the following government formula
for their eradication:
"When only a few stray plants ap-
pear persistently Isl the spud or
knife .
Cut roots off below surface.
Gasoline or kerosene, if applied at
the crown of the plant, will kill in
dividual plants.
+ For badly infested lawns, good re-
suits may be obtained by spraying
with sulphate of iron. Use n and a
half pounds of iron sulphate to one
gallon of water. Iron sulphate can
be purchased at any drug store.
Solution should be applied with a
sprayer which gives a fine mist-like
spray-a sprinkler is not satisfac-
tory.
Apply three days after lawn is cut.
on a bright day when the possibili-
ties of rain are sglight.
Do not cut or water law for three
days after application of solution.
Lawns should be sprayed about
once a month during the summer.
Whatever method of eradication is
used, it is always we'll to reseed the
lawn in April, June and September"
Last week the Press advised people
to use hte knife in getting the dande-
lions out of the yards. The process
needs to be followed up persistently
for a season and possibly it will re-
quire some work the second season

NELSON RELIC LONG IN PAWN
$1,000 Miniature Found on Taxi Driver
Possession a Mystery to
the Police.

London, The London police are
trying to trace the ownership of
superbly executed miniature Of Lord
Nelson, with plaitings of Lady Ham
ilton's hair. valued at more than
$1,000, found on a taxi chauffeur
charged with being in unlawful pos
session of property supposed to have
been stolen.
The Nelson relic had been in pawn
for S. since September, 1912, and the
taxi man went to redeem it. 1t was
then discovered that it was worth a
large sum and that the hair in it
was that of Lady Hamilton. The taxi
man said it was given to his wife on
her marriage, but the police were not
satisfied with the story and arrested
him.
How the miniature came into the
possession of the chauffeur is a mys-
terry. 1t is gold mounted, as is also
the dark green case in which it was
enclosed. The plated hair of Lady
Hamilton is rich brown in color and
surrounds an emblematic anchor in
pearls, set in blue enamel.

a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
