Asked Flag for His Stroud.

COllinsville, ILL.,, April 11.--A re-
quest that his body be wrapped in
the American flag formed the last
words of Robert B. Prayer, hanged
here by mob early last Friday, ac-
cording to testimony yesterday be-
fore the coroner's inquest by Joseph
Riegel, 1t was said by persons who
were present at the inquiry. which
was held behind closed doors.
Riegel. according to these persons.
admitted he was q leader Of the mob.
Prayer was 'hoisted into the air by
boys from IL to 16 years old, Riegel
Is said to have testified. He is de-
clared to have said that Prayer de-
nied that he was spy or that he had
boarded powder with the purpose OF
blowing up the Maryville mine. Rie-
gel, 1t Is said, paid a tribute to Pra-
gers bravery, declaring that the lat
ter never shed tear except when no
kissed the flag and that he did not
beg for mercy.
Rlegel made a confession early yes
terday to a st. Louis newspaper man.
The inquest was continued last
night IN an attempt to conclude it
by tonight. No arrests will be made
until after the inquest, according to
w. r. Tautman, assistant Attorney
General Of Illinois, who has charge
Of the proceedings.

(Atlanta Constitution.

(Atlanta Constitution.)
Br'er Rabbit Is to contribute his
share-and it will be a pretty big
one--as a war measure to help re-
duce the high cost of living.
Australia has given practical
demonstration Of the value OF the
"rabbit crop" Of that country, which
is something over SIS. 200, 900 every
year, and London paper says that
the rabbit supply can be made to
meet the demand Of the British army,
as to war food, for a long time to
come.
Encouraged by the figures of year.
ly revenue derived by Australia from
her rabbit-canning factories, similar
plants are opening up for business in
this country, and there is every pros
pect that it will be big business.
Evansville, Ind, claims to be the
pioneer in this field, where the w. H.
Dyer Company, with plants at Ev-
ansville and Owensboro, KY, will can
rabbits OH large scale, and the
Houston Post says that the Texas
jack-rabbit, feared by the farmers
for its ability to clean up small
field i'll few nights,'' will soon be
canned and helpful, from a food
standpoint:
Texas Legislatures have been ac-
customed to considering bills appro-
priating money for his destruction.
And even in the last regular session
such measure received majority
Of the votes in both Houses.
But Commissioner OF Agriculture
Davis set his department the task
last year of turning the Texas jack
rabbit into money. Experiments
proved the food value Of the longear.
Dinners at which he was the princi-
pal delicacy proved him palatable.
And experiments showed that can.ed
jack-rabbit is equal to any other
canned meat"
For the future, says our Houston
contemporary, the jack-rabbit Is to
be money-maker for Texas.
1t has taken the people Of that
State a long time to realize that the
menace Of the jack-rabbit could be
made source Of profit to the State,
as to the nation; that what has been
danger was a delicacy in disguise,
from can and pan to palate!
Now, jack-rabbit drives" will not
only afford temporary relief to the
farmers, but will be turned to greater
profit, and there will not be, as for
merly, the waste Of indiscriminate
slaughter
1t will be conservation Of the farm
ers' meat supply.
And the profit from this source
will stimulate the raising Of the finer
breeds Of rabbits throughout the
country.

move came from the citizens
here and Askov will endeavor to
give Pine County boys send-off
such as Pine City has been do

from all over the county.
The next contingent, will leave

caused is estimated at several
million kroner. A number of
farms are still under water, a
correspondent cables on July 3,

the disaster a national catastro-

Commercial navigation of the
Baltic in. the present circumstan-
ces is no easy matter, according
to Stockholm letter of June II.
There are too many different au-
thorities whose consent must be
obtained. The first attempt to
reopen trade with Petrogard was
made by the steamers, Elias Sehl-
stedt and Runeberg, owned by
the Swedish Navigation Co, and
when they finally did arrive at
their destination, the Germans
.confiscated the cargo of one of
them, and the Russian authOri-
ties forbade the other to take
any cargo aboard for Sweden.
A Gothenburg correspondent
to a maritime Scandinavian Jour
nal gives some interesting details
of the lively activity Of German
agents in that port. Not daring
to act openly, these agents are
busy trying to enlist Swedes to
take part secretly in their pro-
paganda, although the police
tries to. stop such methods. A
great deal of propaganda litera-
ture, printed in excellent Swe-
dish, but coming from Germany,
is being scattered broadcast
among the Swedes, and the Ger
man agents appear to have a spe-
cial affection for sailors of whom
they have succeeded in enlisting
but very few for their nefarious
schemes.

Inventory Of Tri.Statc Telephone
IN Pine County Completed.

All the long distance telephone
lines in Pine County operated by
the Tri-State Telephone & Tele-
graph Company have been in
spected, and complete inven-
tory obtained by a crew Of expert
telephone men under the direc-
ton Of the Minnesota Railroad
and Warehouse Commission. The
crew which was at work in Pine
County was in charge Of Mr.. Sam
uel X. Slower Of Minneapolis, and
covered every foot Of pole line
in the county. making complete
record Of the condition Of each
unit, such as poles, wires. cross
arms, anchors, and pins.
These reports will be forward
ed to the Office Of Mr.. p. Fur
gensen, Chief Engineer Of the
Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sion, for compilation, and will
form the basis for making an
appraisal Of the physical value Of
the lon9distance telephone lines
in Minnesota. The records also
will become a part Of the pcrma-
nent archives Of the Engineering
Department. The valuation Is
desired by the Railroad and Ware
house Commission at this time,
mainly for the purpose Of enab-
ling it to determine the reasona-
bleness Of the telephone toll rates
in the state, against which there
have been more or less criticism.
If competent telephone men will
be available, Mr.. Jnrgensen
hopes to complete the field work
this year, but the task is an inn
mense one. entailing as it does
the inventorying Of fully ten
thousand miles of pole lines.
The inventorying Of the toll
line properties of the Tri-Stats
Telephone & Telegraph Company
was concluded last month by Mr..
Slower and his party.
