The man with the hoe can never
attract as much attention as the
woman with the hose.-Arcadia
News.-That's so. but what we
are wondering about is how the
News, which is a good family pa
per edited by one Baptist and one
Methodist preacher, can have the
courage to say it. Also, do those
two amiable and able editor
preachers gain their knowledge
from personal experienced If so,
what will people think of them
for giving such close scrutiny to
women's apparel? Now, the edi-
tor of The Herald makes no pre-
tense of being a preacher and it
is excusable in him to be an ar
dent admirer Of women and all
their clothes, but Brother Jones
and Brother Sweat are expected
to be circumspect and grave.

The Herald is having some
DOG Tray" experience. Week
before last it got into bad COM
pany and, as a result, Editor Har-
ry l.. Brown Of the St. Augustine
Record, gave it severe drubbing
in his paper of last Friday. It's
offence consisted in quoting from
the Palm Beach Post a comical
pronouncement by that able wag,
Thorn, against the spreading of
this wonderful propaganda of un-
iversal love, charity and benevo-
lence,' as preached by Brother
Brown and several other eminent
editors. Now, Thorn got The
Herald into this trouble and he
ought to get us out. But it is
fair to say that Brother Brown
protests that the propaganda a.
foresaid, though containing the
word universal, did not include
those rapscallions whom Thorn
calls "damgermans."

ATTEMPTS TO
KILL WOMAN
AND SUICIDE
Belfeld Farm Hapd Loses Reason
When Widow Employer Rejects
His Love.

Mrs. Ernest Forrest, widow living
just south of Belfield, lies perilously
near death at the office of DR., Spear
IN that city, and Fred Dubeau, a farm
hand on the widows farm, is in a bad
condition at the St. Joseph's hospital
In Dickinson as the result of the wo-
mans having refused to marry the
man.
Crazed by the woman's rejection of
his affection, Dubeau met her on the
road as she was returning from visit
to town, and dragging her from the
automobile, threw her to the ground,
beating her about the head with a piece
OF auto spring until about three
inches of scalp was torn from her
head. Then, he kicked her, lifted her
up and threw her back into the car,
threw her out again, resumed kicking
and beating her and, getting into his
car, ran the latter over the woman's
body several times.
At this juncture, William Manthy,
who lives near the point where the
assault occurred, and R. w. Kerr, of
f'ryburg ran over and rescued the wo-
man, taking her to Oscar Peterson's
home. Dubeau jumped into his car
and proceeded to the Forrest home
and set that place afire after, which
action he obtained % calibre revol-
yer and shot himself through the body
just below the heart. A slight scratch
across his neck would Indicate that he
had also intended to cut his throat.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Sherman ar
rested the man and brought him to
Dickinson about one hour after the
tragedy which occurred at 4:3O Thurs
day afternoon.
Mrs. Forrest had gone to town that
day expressly to tell friends that
bureaus insistence was becoming I'M
bearable. She was advised to dis
charge the man and have him put un-
der peace bond She feared the
man, she said, and ex-County Commits
sioner Hughes offered, to accompany
her home. Later, however, she decid-
ed to 60 alone, believing that bureau
would not modest her. The dreadful
affair occurred at point known as
Davis Corner, just south of Belfeld.
Dubeau will recover, according to
hospital reports, but the woman's
chances for living are somewhat .e-
mote at this time.

Are Held up on Account

Bismarck. N. D., Feb. z7.-Charges
that the federal farm Joan bank at

that these bonds shall constitute q.
first lien on the land and its products.
were filed with Assistant Attorney
General Daniel v. Brennan today by
=. !. ]. Montgomery Of TaEpen, pres
tdent Of the North Dakota Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union.
4 have positive evidence that our
loans ara being held up because the
fa,I.m loan officials construe this seed
ana feed bonding act to jeopArdlxe
their security" said President Mont
gomery. Our farmers are being de-
MED federal loans at the very time
when they are the most in need Of
money. I do not believe the seed
and feed bonding provision givinS
these bonds q first lien on the land
OF n farmer who brochures seed on
county warrants has been properly in
terpreted by the federal loan banks.
Even Il such lien should take pfece-
dence over the federal farm loan. the
amount which each farmer will bor-
row o seed IL so small in COMPARE
son that Il should not bar him from
federal assurance
Mr.. Montgomery has asked Assist
ant Attorney General Brennan to
prepare an opinion on this phase or
the act, and also to take the matter
up with the farm loan bank at St
to verify charges which have
come to the president Of the Farmers
union.
