THE AMERICAN SHOTGUN

New York World-That Germany,
with its poison gas and liquid fire and
planted bombs and submarine assas-
sinations should feelingly protest
against the use Of shotguns by Amer
leans in open warfare as a weapon
causing unnecessary suffering" will
be a mild surprise to some people.
When frightfulness is shocked by a
shooting iron Of any kind and thus
exposes it's lacerated feelings, it must
be that some Of the depths Of Prus-
sian humanity have at length been
sounded. But what most will impress
a compassionate world is the accom-
panying argument that needless cruel
ty in war is forbidden by The Hague
convention. A civilization which
has witnessed the devastation and
enslavement of Belgium and northern
France, the destruction Of hospitals
and hospital ships, the massacres in
Serbia and Armenia and the whole
sale plundering of Russia and Ru-
mania-is that to stand aghast or is
1t to smile grimly at the violence done
The Hague convention by the honest
shotgun?

II. II. Nininger. government entomolo-
gist at the State College extension d.
vision. Large quantities of hopper
eggs lie hidden in clumps of grass and
in alfalfa crowns, and by discing, rem
ovating or other stirring of the sur
face layer OF the soil-to a depth of
about two inches-now these eggs
will be exposed to the ravages OF the
winter and the work OF birds and 9TH
er grasshopper enemies. That is why
this type Of work done now is much
more valuable than the same work
done next spring. Alfalfa fields, pas
lures bordering on alfalfa, and any
other field where there are dead grass
and weeds should be thus stirred.
Experience has shown, however, that
alfalfa should not be worked when
the soil is too hard or baked as this
destroys the plants. An excellent
time is after a light shower.

lieve in and support the church by
their presence at the services. The
church of Jesus Christ is passing by
much OF her narrowness Of former
days. One branch of the church Is
not setting herself up as "Holier than
Thou" but is beginning to understand
that to have a name among men and
women she must render effective SER
vice to the world. That service she
is rendering today through the work
OF the Y. NJ. c. A, the Red Cross and
other kindred organizations. The
church must have a great program
for the days after the war. That pro-
gram has already been outlined and
includes a patriotism that is at once
%brotherly and genuinely American.
Let us keep the home fires burning
during these days by reading Gods
Word and by prayer and when we
are again allowed to gather in our re-
spective churches let us come togeth-

lie worship stands for in the life of

write again. Said his fingers were a
little stiff yet, but | guess when he
gets to using them again they will
timber up again. Hope so any way.
l have not had any word from Loren
since June, but wrote to him again
last night. Barry said in his letter
that he saw him twice up front. 1t
was funny how they met. Barry was
going to water his team and net him
watering his team at the same water
hole. Did not know that they either
one were in the same section. The
next time Barry said that just as they
were going into position, Loren was
going by with a COW tied on behind
his wagon. He asked him where he
made the raise, and he said that he
salvaged her. What can you think of
going up to the front with a COW. Well

PIONEER PASSES ON

This week death claimed Mrs. An
drew Hanson, one OF the early set
tiers OF Medary township. Since the
spring Of 1917 she has made her home
in the city and resided at 618 Sixth
venue. Some few weeks ago she
went to Minneapolis to consult physi-
clans and came back two weeks ago
Tuesday with little hope that she
would have permanent relief from a
cancerous growth. Her end was
peaceful, surrounded by those of her
children in the city. The funeral will
occur tomorrow afternoon from the
home, services conducted by the Rev.
b. A. Benson, and interment in the
Lutheran cemetery.
Caroline Matilda Jensen was born
in Crskog, Norway, June 3rd. 1850,
and married to Andrew Hanson June
18th, 1873. The young couple came
to the United States the same month
and settled at Chicago where they
lived a year. They moved to Racine,
Wis, and in the spring of 1878 came
to Brookings county and settled on q
homestead in Medary township. There
they lived until the death of Mr.. Han
son in February, 1915, and until her
removal to the city she remained with
her son. Oscar, who managed the
farm. The following. children live to
mourn the passing Of a good mother
and friend: Mrs. Jessie Nelson, n.
A., Oscar and Emil, living in Brook
ings, Mrs. jules Hanson, Volga town,
ship. Mesdames f. P. and Gilbert
Hunstad, Butterfeld, Mimi, Arthur
and Will with the army in France,
Gaylord. Camp Crook, Nebr., and Clar-
ence, Camp Polk, N. c. The many
friends Of the family extend to them
deep sympathy in the death of this
loved mother.

The new absent voter law, which
was enacted with provisions of such
nature as to allow soldiers in France
to vote, consequently making long.
time periods of filling votes, etc.
makes it apparent that no candidate
will receive his certificate of election
this year until December %. This is
due to the fact that the fourth Mon
day in December is the time desig-
mated by the law as the final count
for all absent votes. Consequently no
candidates will really know until that
date whether or not they are certain
ly elected.

NO RELAXATION PROBABLE

New York Times-If Germany en-
tertains the hope that Marshal Foch
may overreach himself and expose
one of his armies to a successful
counter attack it is a forlorn hope, be-
cause it is evident that in the Ameri-
can troops behind the lines which have
not yet been sent into action he has
reserves ready to deal with any drive
the enemy may attempt. How else
could his hammer blows" constantly
falling, be accounted for? 1t is not
extravagant to expect an unrelaxing
pressure by the allies upon the Ger
man front day after day and week af-

Such quick growing species Of trees
as the willows and cottonwoods are
valuable for fence posts. In moist
places. especially where there is dam
ger Of erosion or where the ground
is too moist for general crops, will
lows and ~cottonwoods grow very rap
idly. When these trees are cut on a
short rotation and at the right season
they make fair fence posts. Fence
posts cut from these soft woods when
