BADLY INJURED IN
s 81
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Ed. Sommers, Foreman Of Spaulding
Farm. Breaks Arm When Auto
Driven Without Lights Hits Buggy
Saturday Evening.

While he was driving out to the
Sommers' ranch east Of Warren last
Saturday night an auto driven by John
Fill, son Of =. j. Hill, a farmer who
resides about 10 miles east of
Warren, hit the horse and buggy
belonging to Ed. Sommers. The
accident happened about seven
miles east Of the city at about 8 80 in
the evening and as a result the left
arm Of Mr.. Sommers was fractured
and other minor injuries were received.
The buggy was badly smashed up and
the horse became SO frightened that it
ran away and was not located for a
few days.
The car driven by Mr.. Hill was
without lights and he was travelling at
moderate rate Of speed, but the force
Of the two vehicles moving in opposite
directions was sufficient to cause the
damage done. Very little damage was
done to the car.
The many friends of Mr.. Sommers
will be glad to learn that he is recover
ing nicely and that he will soon be able
to be around. The break in his arm
was Of such nature that it will take
some time for nature to mend.

HUNTING SEASON
OPENS SUNDAY
Game Warden Munich States That
Game Wardens Have Nothing to
Do With Sunday Hunting.

Game Warden VIM. Munich, of
CrOokston, was in the city Monday in
forming the local hunters as to the
game laws for the coming season.
When asked about the law prohibiting
Sunday hunting, Mr.. Munich said that.
1T seems that there is state law that
has been on the statute books for a
great many years prohibiting hunting,
fishing, boating and great many other
things on Sunday, but it has never been
enforced. 1t has been reported that
the attorney general has held that it
is binding, and he probably has, as he
would hold that any other law was
binding, but it's part of the general
law OF the state, and not of the state
game and fish law, and the wardens
have no instructions to enforce it, and
will take no hand in the matter. In
North Dakota, where there is big
fight on for Sunday closing all along
the line, the wardens have been in-
structed to enforce the law against
Sunday hunting.
\ Thus it becomes the duty Of the
local officers to make all arrests for
the violation of this law But owing
to the demand by the hunters Of the
state for Sunday hunting, it is very
unlikely that anyone will be arrested
for hunting on the Sabbath.
The elusive prairie hen is a very
scarce bird this year and the local
hunters will undoubtedly return after
the days hunt with very small bags Of
game
The new law limits the number of
prairie chickens that can be shot by a
hunter in one day to five, while the
duck limit is fifteen. If a hunter
shoots both ducks and chickens, his
limit is fifteen birds in the day, which
would mean that he could shoot five
chickens and ten ducks. The DAYS
limit on other game birds is also
fifteen.
The chicken season opens this year
September 18th and closes September
3Oth. This will allow the hunters only
| two weeks in which to hunt, while last
year they were allowed to, hunt thru
the month Of October. The reason for
shortening the season is because that
the number of prairie chickens has
been decreasing so rapidly that there
is possibility of their becoming ex-
tinct.

STANDARDIZATION. A SLOGAN
FOR COUNTY AGENT WORK.

At the National Conference of Coun-
.ty Agent Leaders of the thirty-three
northern and western states held at
Washington, D. e., November 10 to IA,
1916, it was recommended that project
on standardization be adopted in each
of the states represented, and that it
be adapted to local conditions and
made county project in each county
having county agent. Its object is
ito give emphasis to the necessity of
growing crops and livestock of uniform
type and quality and marketing them
in standard grades and packs; and to
encourage communities, counties, or
districts to unite In producing single
breed of livestock and standard var
ieties Of crops best suited to local con-
ditions. It was helieyed that the first

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OPENED MONDAY
Prospect For Successful School Year
is Bright. rollment Not
Yet Complete.

The public schools of the city opened,
Monday this week with a strong en-
rellment In all the grades and in the
high school. The high school enroll
ment though not complete at this time,
owing to the fact that so many Of the
high school boys are at work on the
farms, undo oubtedly will be the largest
in the history Of the school. Supt. g..
M Mitchell stated to Sheaf repre-
sentative, that high school boys will be
given two weeks to finish up the work
on the farms. While a large number
of the boys are back at work, there
still are a large number Of them re-
manning on the farm, who will return
soon to resume their studies.
ss Miss Mary p. Barth, of Fargo, N. D.,
has been elected to fill the vacancy in
the seventh grade This completes the
teaching staff Of the schools for the
coming year.
Coach Johnson will soon be at work
with his materials for a foot ball
eleven. While the school lost a large
number OF their best men in last years
graduating class, the prospects indicate
that "a good team will be placed in the
field this year. Owing to the lateness
of the season there will only be a very
few games scheduled.
Within the next few days the liter
ary and debating societies will be or
ganized and some very interesting pro-
