A straw stack on Joe Kunes's farm
tipped over four weeks ago, covering
up a number of pigs. He. succeeded
in getting out all excepting one ''runt'
which weighed about seventy five
pounds This pig was buried so deep
" in the straw that Mr.. Kuens con-
cluded that it would ruin the stack TO
try and get it out an dhe figured that
the pig would be dead by the time they
could get it out at any event. So the
incident was forgotten until lately
when the stack was mostly used up
and the men began looking for a dead
pig/at the bottom. Last Friday, while
hauling straw from the stack, the men
saw some straw move and on clearing
the place, found the "runt" pig, still
alive, but looking pretty hard from
being buried under the stack lacking
one day of being four weeks. The
animals eyes were closed, but after
being out for time and getting
cleaned up is now doing nicely, and
bids fair to live out it's allotted life
time, such as all pigs do, notwith-
stand his long fasting and being
virtually buried alive.-Melrose Chren-
icle.

CURED in the senate bill increasing
the tuition fee for high schools from
81 per week to So. These non-resi-
dent tuition fees are paid by towns

before the senate committee announc-
ing that they had agreed on the amend
ments of the workmen's compensation
act to be made at that session Of the
legislature. The industrial commits
sion estimates the amendments will
increase the benefits to WOrkingmen
to 121A per cent. The death benefits
have increased from $4,000 to $4,000,
and the accident benefits have also
been increased in like ratio. Occupa-
tional diseases will be brought within
the terms of the compensation act.
The assembly has passed a state
market commission bill which has the
Endorsement of the farmer members
of the legislature, and defeated the
so-called Skogmo bill, which had al
ready passed the senate. The assem-
bly, bill provides for a market commits
sion of seven members who shall Sc
lect a market commissioner. The
board shall investigate the cost of pro-
ducing farm products and shall aid in
the marketing.

Will Ask Holland

Extradition of Williamson
tence of Moral Character

Amsterdam, June 29.-The allied
and associated powers will not ask
for the extradition of the former
German emperor, the Paris corre-'
spondent Of The Telegraph says he
learns, but will ask the Dutch govern
ment in the name Of the league OF,
nations to see that Herr Hohcnzollern
does not escape the moral conse-
ouences. II is expected that as a
member of The league, Holland will
inform the former emperor that he
must appear before an international
court or leave the country. a highly
placed French authority on interna-
tional law told the correspondent that
the proceedings against the former
emperor would be on moral grounds
and the sentence would be of a moral
character entirely. There is no ques-
ton Of a death sentence or Of I'M
prisonnent the correspondent told.
= It is probable, the correspondent
continues, that the crimes Of the
former emperor against interna,;ona,
morality in starting the war and i
violating Belgian neutrality will DE
condemned severely, the Hohenzollerns
will be declared forever deposed and
it will be made impossible for the
former emperor to do further harm
by assigning him a place of residence
from which he was not move.
