STATE NEWS.

Lead-William Frink, who left
here several weeks ago in a demented
condition, was sane as long as his
5000 lasted, but went crazy when he
went broke" He was taken in
charge by the authorities in Omaha.
Later he was brought back here,
where he was examined by a sanity
commission.
Scotland-Gasoline for gophers,
That's the method F. F. Varing, oil
Scotland, has discovered for killing
the pests, which are reported to be
doing considerable damage in this
section of the state. Varing goes into
"a field where the gophers are work
ing. and when he sees a gopher go
into a hole he covers it with a cloth
saturated in gasoline. The fumes
go down into the hole and the goph-
ers are smothered.
Vermillion--Instead of having pc
riodic food sales to dispose of the
product OF the laboratory period, the
catering class of the home economics
department of the University of

Miss Ruetta T. Day, is serving ban
Duets, teas and dinners in the homes
of Vermillion people where the girls
in class have the most practical ex-
perience dealing with all the prob
the quantities of food needed to serv-
ing the meal.
Pierre-While the hay crop over
the central part of the state last year
was extremely heavy, on account OF
the shortage of help the amount har-
vested was not up to that usually
procured, and prices have gone to
about $13 a ton in a section of the
state where $40 has been considered
rather high in past years. The early
spring rains have given the grass a
good start for this year, and with the
help which will be available through
the return OF the farm boys from the
war, the shortage should not be so
apparent next spring.
Artesian-Word comes from Fedo-
ra that Chester Benton, a farmer liv-
ing northwest of here and one of the
old timers of that locality, had COM
mitted suicide Mr.. Benton suffered
an attack of influenza about three
months ago and had never recovered.
A couple of weeks ago he lost n OF
his children and since then he has
been downcast. Grasping a shotgun,
he discharged ii in his face, the first
two shots missing, but the third strik-
ing him under the chin and tearing
off the whole top of his head.

terms than were offered.
In general the market was Is a
lower from the opening. with all
grades sharing in the decline. Quail
