PAYMENT TO Wife HELD
ILLEGAL; MUST PAY BACK
Judue kmidon Decides Minot Bank
ruptcy Case, Giving Money
To Claim Holders,

Payment of S1,18O from the bank
rupt estate of Rudolph G. Walsted TO
Severina P. Walsted is held illegal in
a decision by Judge c. +. Amtdon. OF
the federal court of the North Da-
kOta district.
Judge AmidCn holds that the de-
fendant. wife of the bankrupt, must
repay to the estate the amount in
question, and the same becomes a
part of the estate to care for other
liabilities.
1t appears that Mrs. Walsted re-
sided on a homestead under agree
ment with her husband. who filed
on the same, to the effect that she
was to have ownership when the
homestead was proved up. When the
homestead was proved, Walsted sold
the property, and after paying
miscellaneous items, turned over the
balance of the money to mis- wife.
At a later date. Walsted engaged
in business with George Dascher,
and Mrs. Walsted returned the money
to h2r husband.
Mrs. Walsted maintained that the
money was only loaned to her hus-
band, but Judge Amidon holds that
there is nothing in the evidence to
Justify such finding.
The case arose in the Minot dis
trict, and John Valley, Grand Forks,
is trustee in charge.

Lad Hoisted Italian Flag at Halt
Staff When Francis
Joseph Died.
MISTAKE CAUSED A RIOT
All Sovereiens Looked Alike to the
Governors Little Servant;
Got ain Bad"

Rome.-Strangely enough, there was
city in Italy where flag was hoisted
half staff on the projects residence
as a sign of mourning for the death OF
| Emperor Francis Joseph. This city
was Ascot PicenO in the Marches,
where the project, or governor, is one
| of the most intelligent and patriotic
officials in Italy, one who advocated
| Italy's war against Austria from the
very beginning and sent his two sons
| to the front, where one of them was
killed.
Obviously the project had no reason
to regret the death of Italy's heredi-
tary enemy, Francis Joseph, and yet
| his palace was the only building in
Italy where a flag was hOisted half
staff. The project risked losing his
post, too, and 1t took him some time
to justify himself and explain the mis-
take. Because, of course, ii was all a
mistake, and this is how II happened ::
Early one morning a telegram
reached the project from Rome with
the news of the emperor of Austria's
death. The telegram was given to the
projects servant, or Office boy, to file,
and as Office boys all the world over
are generally very smart this particu-
lar office boy when he read the tele-
gram came to the conclusion that it
was his duty to put out the flag in
sign of mourning.
Sovereigns Are soVereigns.
It is true that we are at war with
Austria, he explained to a fellow serv-
ant, but sovereigns are always SOW
ereigns-in fact, they are each others
cousins-and when they die official
mourning Is Indispensable. The fellow
servant was not convinced and warned
the smarter one to be careful. he
suggested that before putting out the
flag he had better ask the project. So
the office boy knocked at the projects
door and asked:
Must we put the flag out at half
staff for the emperOr's death, slrF
The project was busy at his desk,
but when he heard the question he
turned around and sternly looked at
his Office boy, ironically saying:
do you think that it is necessary
to ask such a question"
"All right, sir. Please excuse me for
troubling you, sir" said the Office boy,

FEEDING SILAGE TO POULTRY
Splendid Results Obtained in Wiseon-
sin-Average Run Is Recon-
mended by Expert

The secretary of the Wisconsin
Poultry association advises that silage
made from corn is being fed to poultry
in that state with splendid results.
We have seen the busy little hen drop
ping into the pit sflo, and we have
failed TO see one that had learned
that trick that did not have a splendid
red comb. That red comb, of course,
meant eggs.
Mr.. Halpin, the secretary, says that
the only trouble with feeding silage is
that too many select for the poultry
the sflage that has the most corn in
it. He recommends giving them the
average run rather than that with too
much grain in it, because the latter
makes them too fat There is no ques-
ton but that silage is going to be used
more largely in feeding pOultry.-Da-

explaining how the mistake occurred.
Cardinal as Censor.
Another incident in connection with
Francis Joseph's death occurred In
Rome, and in way it is equally anus
ing. The editor of the Osservatore
Romano, the official organ Of the Holy
See, was instructed by the cardinal
secretary of state, Cardinal Gasparri,
to write an article regretting in mild
terms the death of the Catholic EN-
peror. He was warned to be careful
about the censor, and accordingly
wrote the article emphasizing the de-
ceased's religion faith and his attach
ment TO the Holy See. Then he sub
mitted the article to the censor, who
passed it for publication.
Owing to the Vatican's neutrality of
course it was only natural that the Off
cial organ of the Holy See should ex-
press regret at the death of a Cath
ole sovereign. The censor explained
this to the editor, who was encouraged
to ask whether there would be any OBJ
lection If the paper came out with
black border, as was the custom on the
death of a Catholic sovereign. The
censor said there would be no objec-
ton, as he had nothing to do with the
makeup Of the paper, but only with
what was printed in it, and he added:
You can have as wide a border as
you please"
The editor rushed to the cardinal
secretary of state with the proof sheets
and informed him that the censor had
not only passed the article but the
black border as well. To his surprise
Cardinal Gasparri insisted that the
black border should be removed.
I'VE have to regret the emperor's
DEATH" he said, but we are not bound
to go TO mourning for him as he was
so bitterly hated in Italy that if the
paper came out with q black border
the people are bound to wreck your
Office"
The editor naturally obeyed and the
Osservatore Romano was not in mourn
ing for Francis Joseph. Everybody. Of
course, assumed that the black Dor
der had been censored by the censor.
but the editor made the mistake to ex-
plain that it was Cardinal Gasparri,
who censored It, with the result that
the cardinals ropuI rity increased
considerably, while in all probability
Austria will protest that the Hoiy
Sees neutrality is not compleza.

SPRAY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE
Should Be Omitted From Orchards
Free From Pest-Grower Should
Inspect Trees Carefully.


CBy T. ]. TALBERT, Missouri College of
Agricultural
Many fruit growers in Missouri have
been applying dormant spray every
winter in orchards which are not in
tested with San Jose scale. The dor
mant spray should be omitted in or
chards free from San Jose scale. This
spray, if properly made, does the or
chard no injury, but the benefits to be
derived from it do not justify the ex-
pense of making the spray unless the
trees are infested with San Jose
scale.
Every fruit grower should inspect
his trees carefully this winter to see If
San Jose scale is present. If the scale
is found and the trees are badly in
tested, they should be sprayed thor
oughly this winter and again next
spring, just before growth starts.
Where the trees are not badly infest-
ed, only one spraying is necessary, and
the best time for the application is in
the spring.
Commercial lime sulphur or scale
eide may be used for the control Of
San Jose scale. The lime sulphur has
the preference for use because it is
the cheapest and it is a fungicide as
well as an insecticide. 1t should be
used at a strength of ] to 7 while
the scalecide or oil preparation should
be used at a strength of about l to u.
If you do not know San Jose scale,
and suspect its presence in your or
chard, send twigs or bark from the af-
fected trees TO the Missouri College
Of Agriculture, Columbia, No, for
Identification.
