When the machine gunners were

cow one day while pursuing the

being unable to locate the rightful
French owner.
There was debate as to whether
Bossie's milk would be of more value
than her meat, and the "milks" won.

did. Finally, couple of ardent milk

1t was long walk. They had COW

New Developments in Case OF Patrick
Davitt at Rochester.

Rochester, October 5.-Charles HI.
Armstrong, for whom Patrick Davitt
had recently worked, announced last
night that he had succeeded in locat-
ing relatives of the man killed by a
train in the Great Western yards here
Wednesday evening. The relatives
live in Chicago. DR.. J. E. Crewe held
an inquest this afternoon.
Evidence brought up led the coro-
ner to remark that this might be a
murder case inasmuch as the fireman
and engineer who found the body,
testified that their locomotive cleared
Dewitt when they spied him alongside
the track Wednesday. They saw the
form before they reached it and he
could not have been, killed by their
engine.
The fireman said that the wound
was on the opposite side of the head
to them. He declared that the blood
was dry on the head when he and the
engineer examined Dewitt.
1t is possible then that the man was
slugged, perhaps for robbery, and left
for dead by the track in the hope that
it might be presumed that Davitt was
killed by train.

Statement Is Made BY the Depart
ment of Agriculture

Washington, D. c. October THE
yield of potatoes per acre is grad
ually increasing in this country, as
shown by the records of the bureau
of crop estimates of the United States
department of agriculture. During
1866 1874 the average annual yield
per acre was ninety one bushels, but
the average markedly declined to 71.3
bushels in 1885, 1884, Perceptible
recovery was made in the following
ten year period and a much larger
recovery, rising to a new high water
mark, was reached in 1906 1914, with
its average yield or ninety seven
bushels per acre.
In twenty years the productivity
of the average potato acre increased
thirty six per cent. This increase is
due to various causes, among which
are greater specialization of produc-
ton, more intensive treatment, and
higher fertility Of the soil. The ten
year average yield Of ninety seven
bushels per acre in 1905-19 was
followed by 96.3 bushels in 1915, ;80.5
bushels in the very low year 1916,
and 1908 bushels in 1917.
Compared with population, the yield
of potatoes per acre declined from
1S66-1874 to 1905 1914 The. gain of
production per capita in recent years
has been more because of increased
acreage than because of increased
production per acre. 4e

ties was raised from $40 to $25 and
placard of warning will be placed
above each box. Co. operation of the

tant Chief Ernest Fallenstein and

which says a levy of tenth mill
for this expense may" be levied,
shall read "shall' be levied.

Law Is Laid Down For The Deer
Hunters in Wisconsin.
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch

ASSOCIATED Press DfSnatchJ
Milwaukee, Wis, October 5.-Deer
hunters in Wisconsin this season will
be limited to one buck with horns
under ruling by the Wisconsin con-
servation commission. The killing
of fawns and does will be prohibited.
Of $4,000 deer killed last season, two
thirds were fawns and does.
The commission voted unanimously
for an open season of skunks during
the entire year. 1t was pointed out
that the animal is great destroyer OF
ground nesting birds.
recommendations will be made to
the legislature in January that the
closed season on cartridges, prairie
chickens, woodcocks, ETC., be contin-
ued for two years. These birds, Com
missioner w. e. Barber said, are in
creasing and a big hatch this year
makes the outlook encouraging. I'm
der federal regulation ducks have be-
come plentiful Barber said, and a
continuance of legislation appears
certain of restricting this game.

Commission Of Pubic Safety, dwelt
strongly on the dangers Of German
propaganda in the United States. AS
an instance Of the cunning duplicity
of the German enemies among us she
told of the fact that many good peo-
pie had said they would not cooper
ate with Herbert Hoover in his food<
|conservation program as they had
seen a bill of lading showing that
wheat and sugar was being shipped
abroad to breweries, this information
having been printed in temperance
papers. On investigation it was found
that this bill OF lading was a forgery
in that the dates had been changed.
The bill of lading was made out three
years before the war, and the man
who had received 1T had died two
years before war was declared. The
lie had been spread by German enc
mics. - ~
English speaking and English teach
ing in factories and work shops as
well as in all schools was urged by
Mrs. Winter She remarked that Min
nesota has the largest foreign pop
ulation of any state, and that it has
been found that 1876 schools in the
state have been using the German
language as a medium of instruction.
In sister state, in order, that the
schools might gain the aid of state
money, the schools will be taught in
English for short time, then closed,
and later re-opened and then all in
struction given in the German lam
guage Foreigners who came here by
the thousand before the war had come
to escape governments that did not
please them, and many wore anar-
chists, whom it was hard to reach to
teach the principles of Americaniza-
ton. About four, million men in the
United States were foreigners who,
had made no declaration that they
intended to become American citizens.
They had retained their own language
and customs and did not mingle out
side their own communities. Mrs.
Winter pointed out that it is the duty
Of Americans to seek out these peo-
pie and teach Them of the great
American institutions. She, told of
the wards of the women of her organ
ization in the cities, and how the diff
ferent wards were SO thoroughly or
gained as to greatly aid in the work.
