vIDIAN WYE IS INDICTED
The Brown County Grand Jury
Charges Him With Extortion.

Charges Him With Extortion.
Vidian d. Wye, formerly assistant
to the state food administrator. was
indicted by grand jury in Brown
county yesterday on charge OF ex-
tortion, according to information from
New Ulm, says The Minneapolis Tri-
bune. The indictment came as a result
of charges. made by certain farmers
who had been accused OF boarding
grain that WYE not only made them
turn over such grain to the Red Cross
hut that /he made them pay expense
money. The expense money item is
alleged to be the extortion.
1t is improbable that the case will
ever be tried in Brown county. SO
much sentiment has been worked up
there by Townley's Nonpartisan
league that fair trial would hardly
be possible.
1t is reported that Sleepy Eye man
has also been indicted on a similar
charch by the Brown county grand
iury.

London, May 2S.-The crew of NCI,
which made the first Trans Atlantic
aerial passage, landing last night at
Lisbon, has been decorated with the
Grand Cross of the Order of the Tower
and Sword The decoration was pre-
sented by the Portuguese foreign
minister.
Lisbon, May 2S.-Americans who
flew across the Atlantic and treaded
their way safely through the air paths
are now ready to hop off again on the
700 mile flight to Plymouth, England,
where they will have completed their
HISTORIC voyage. This will be the end
of the long flight from Rockaway
beach.
Despite the fact of his arduons flight
yesterday Lieutenant Commander
Read was up early this morning look
ing over the prospects for the flight
on to England. Much depends on the
weather and much also on the mo.
tors. The big plane scared over Lis
|ban laet &c - four Q'clool ar
battleship Rochester. Z
AS the mighty plane settled smooth
ly onto the river it marked an epoch
in aviation which was hailed by ring
ing of bells, blowing whistles and fir
ing guns in the city and on the ships
in the harbor. Throngs were on the
housetops to watch the flight and
many small boats crowded out around
the plane when it lighted.
The fight from Ponta del Gada was
perfect. Upon arrival, Commander
Read received the congratulations o.
the Portuguese officials and many
wireless congratulations from Amer
lea.
Washington, May 2S.-No, word
reached the navy department whether
the NC-4 left Lisbon on the last leg
of the flight.
Lisbon People Enthusiastic.
Lisbon, May 2S.-The achievement
of the first transatlantic air flight,
with Lisbon as the first European STOP
ping point, aroused the enthusiasm of
the Portuguese as no event has stirred
them for many years.
When the American seaplane NC-4
came over the Tagus river, the popu-
lace, crowding all places of vantage,
gave full expression to their enthus-
iasm by cheers of welcome, the boom
ing of guns and the ringing of bells.
For days the people of Lisbon had
been awaiting the completion Of this
voyage over the Atlantic, and though
disappointed from day to day because
of the inability of Commander Read s
craft to continue it's flight from the
Azores because of unfavorable wealth
err each day they looked hopefully
! towards the West for the coming of
the Americans. Now they are able to
say that they never doubted that the
/ NC-4 would wind its way safely across
the intervening 500 miles of water.
| The whole city was en- fete and
virtually all business was abandoned
by those who crowded everywhere to
witness the arrival.

CapOns Are
Money Makers
BY Therese Kaas.
Evan, Minnesota.

Capons or castrated cockerels are
grown by the thousands in Eastern
states, both for market and home
consumption. In the Middle West, with
the exception of Kansas and Iowa.
this profitable branch of the poultry
industry seems to be unknown almost.
/ am writing this article particularly
for the women on the farms as 1t gen.
orally is conceded that the profits
from eggs and chickens belong to
them.
AS we all know. about 80 per cent
of the chicks Matched are cockerels,
and it is the custom to sell as broilers
those not needed for breeding pur-
poses. Broilers weighing l 1-2 to 2
pounds bring fair price but if these
broilers are caponized and kept until
before Christmas, or still better till
some time between Christmas and
Easter, they will weigh from Z to II
pounds, according to breed-and bring
as much or more to the pound as when
sold as broilers.
Until just before the time for fat
tening a capon requires less care and
feed than any other chicken. In fact
on farm they can just about pick
their fed till late fall. Sometimes
they are sold just before Christmas.
They are not then full grown, but
bring fancy prices and are called by
the trade "soft roasters," indicating
that the meat is as tender as on
broilers.
Under the right conditions, with the
right instruments, good light, and a
steady eye and hand, anyone can per-
form the operation of caponizing. The
best time to do this is whenever you
have surplus cockerels at from 2 to 3
old. When cockerels are ca
ponized older than this, the operation
does not seem to be so successful, and
instead of getting capons, you are.
likely to have "slips" which are use
less as breeders and not much better
for eating than an ordinary rooster.
There is danger also of death from
bleeding. This very rarely happens
when the cockerels is caponized at
the right age, and if it should occur
it may be bled to death like any other
and made ready for the fry
ing pan. ~

If once you have eaten capon, you
will make wry face if an old rooster
is put on your table. At the age OF
4 months the muscles of the cockerel
begin to get tough. If caponized be-
fore that time the flesh remains as
sweet and tender as that of spring
chicken or young turkey. They FL
ways command the top price on any
market. All the large cities are good
capon markets. Last year / sent my
capons to Chicago. This year have
found nearer markets and have had
orders for more than | could fill. One
grocer at Duluth. Mimi, wrote: Your
poultry is all right; | can use 100
pounds at a time" From another
city, Minneapolis, after having sent
one capon as trial order / received
the following: ssBest ever ate. Please
send three more for March 15."
Another excellent use you can make
of the capon is to have him take care
of little chickens, which he does as
carefully and tenderly as any hen, or
even better. You can give him chick
ems from several broods, and he does
not object to any Of them, as a hen
quite often will. 1t is said that on
farms where capons are used as foster
mothers no hawks ever will steal the
chickens.
AS the capon is a larger and
heavier bird than the hen, and might
unintentionally step on young chick,
I have found it better to let the hen
- - al
are 2 weeks old. They can then safely
be turned over to the capon, and the
hen is free to go about her business
as layer. / have heard of chicks
being taken from the incubator and
given to capons but do not know about
the results.
1t is best to enclose the capon in
small space for about two days be-
fora giving him the chickens. Give
him plenty of fed and water and pet
him little Then in the evening put
in the chickens. Although he may at
first pick at them, he does not hurt
them and soon will assume his duties
as foster mother. It is very interest,"
ing and amusing to notice how he
gradually assumes his duties. He
calls the chicks by clucking and picks
the feed for them After the capon
has taken care of several broods dur
ing the summer he will be ready to
finish his useful life and become in
the end thu finest of roasted fowls.
It is stated on good authority that a
4-year old capon is just as good as
when younger.

Is not the teacher the biggest sin

Are you paying enough to get and

Are your teachers properly trained?
II so, what are you paying for that

Can a teacher live twelve months
in your city on what you pay her
for teaching one school year?
If she can live there without loss,
can she save anything at all?
Can you expect good professional

would such persons have beneficial

Do you know the answer to all these
questions as applied to your own
