HORSES POISONED
SEVERAL ANIMALS HAVE DIED
NEAR GROTON.

Groton, Feb. 19.-Several horses
and animals have been killed in the
Groton section the past week through
shipments of condition powder re-
Gently received and recently fed. The
medicine was sold in this section by
agents last summer and was but re-
Gently received here.
The stuff came from Council
Bluffs. Ia. from a medicine concern
Of that place. and while in some
cases 1t has been fed without detri-
ment. in others II seems to have got
ten horses and bots at the same time.
Among those who have been losers
are John Hoops, John Hanson. each
reporting five valuable horses dead,
and William May. who has also had
several killed. There have also, ac-
cording to our understanding. been
several others who have come in for
more or less.

indian SOLDIER Died
FIRST SIOUX INDIAN TO GIVE
LIFE In WAR DIES AT
FORT RILEY.

Sioux Falls. Feb. 19.-An event OF
a unique nature on that part of the
Standing Rock Indian reservation
which extends into South Dakota was
funeral services. following the Indian
custom, over the remains OF Isaac
Patesni. who had the distinction OF
being the first Sioux Indian to give
up his life In the service of his coun-
try in the present wal with Germany.
He died at Fort Riley. Kan. where
he was undergoing training In the
army. His death calls attention to
the fact that a number OF Sioux In
dams from the reservations of North
and South Dakota have enlisted In
the various branches of the national
military and naval service. and are
doing their bit" In winning the
great war. About $50 Indians par
ticipated In the funeral service.

INDIANA'S DRY Law
RULED UNCONSTITUTIONAL BY
COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT.

Evansville, Ind, Feb. 19.-Indi-
ana's statewide prohibition law was
held to be unconstitutional and void
by Judge f. M. Hostetter of the
vanderburgh county superior court
here Saturday In ruling on a demur-
rer to a complaint filed by a number
OF brewing companies against the
county prosecutor to enjoin him from
enforcing the law after April 2, 1918
the date named for IL to take effect.
The ruling opens the way for an i'm
mediate appeal to the Indiana SUI
preme court II the dry" interests de-
sire to take that step.
Judge Hostetter declared that the
prohibition law was not designed to
limit and regulate the making and
handling OF alcoholic beverages. nor
to confine the use OF such beverages
within the bounds Of temperance and
moderation. but absolutely to make
temperate and moderate use of intox-
icating liquors legally impossible.
He decided the present constitution
or Indiana would not permit such a
law to stand.

How shall we get ready For home
gardening activities In 1918 is a ques-
ton now reaching the United States
department Of agriculture from all Sec
tons. To these questioners the de-
partment is giving the following adj
vice:
Determine the location and the area
to be planted to vegetables as soon as
practicable. Clear 1t Of rubbish and
as material suitable for a compost
heap is available. start one. Arrange,
f possible, for the necessary fertilizer
for the seasons garden from local
sources. such as stables, streets or
abattoirs. Add these materials to the
compost heap so as to insure as large
a supply as possible of suitable ma
terial with the smallest practicable use
OF commercial fertilizers. This Is de-
sirable to insure plant food and to save
expense. Commercial fertilizers are
scarce and high, and In garden work
even when such materials are abund-
ant and relatively cheap they cannot
entirely replace stable manure and
compost. Each city or town should
be able to supply the major part of
h needs Of Its gardening population
IL the fertilizers produced within its
limits are husbanded for their use.
Get Seeds Early.
As soon as the spring catalogues are
available, select the list Of seeds need
ed to plant the area to be used for gar
dening. In choosing the list, have In
mind the selection of those sorts which
did best last season, those which the
family relished most, and determine
the quantity with care In order that
only the seed necessary to meet your
requirement be purchased. The sup
ply of some Of the important varieties
Of garden seeds is limited, and In or
der that all may obtain the quantity
needed to meet their needs, everyone
should cooperate to make the supply
available produce a maximum crop.
Place your seed orders early.
Plan Your Garden In Advance.
In planning the garden have due re-
gard to supplying the family with
fresh vegetables as well as those de-
sired for canning or drying, but refrain
from entering the field Of commercial
vegetable production unless you are
an experienced practical gardener with
suitable soil and location and adequate
capital to finance the operation.
Planning the garden on paper-that
Is, drawing a right plan to scale on
which are indicated the spaces to be
devoted to early planted and later
crops, the best planting dates, etc-is
an interesting winter evening employ
