SUED FOR DIVORCE

J. Rex Hise, who is we'll known in
Poplar and or the reservation, was
made defendant in an action for di-
vorce his wife Una E. Hise, file in
district court last week. Mrs. Hse
alleges that her husband has been
unfaithful and has failed to- provide

asks for alinaony and for the custody
of a minor child. Mrs. Hise makes
a specific charge against her hus-

October.
The other woman in the case is
well known in TINS city. Until a few

STATE BALANCE 3 MILLION


There is balance of $3,419,388.57
to the credit Of the state of North
Dakota in the State treasury accord
ing to the official treasury report for
the months of February. In the gen.
eral fund from which the expenses
Of the states government are paid
the balance was $228,646 on Febru-
airy %. The remainder of the money
was distributed among AZ other spe-
cial funds. The general fund seldom
represents more than 10 per cent Of
the States actual cash balance. The
draining of this special fund some
months ago gave Kositzky the idea Of
shouting to the world that 'the state
was broke" The statement of the
pool hall inspection license fund
shows only balance Of $17,255.94.
This means that Bill LANCER has
managed to spend nearly $4,000
since last July in preserving the
purity of the pool halls Of North Da-
kota. Doubtless the voters have
noticed a profound change in the
character Of the. pool halls.

which convention was held for the
purpose Of nominating men to run
Tor the various offices within the pro-
posed new county Of Daniels, the
delegates there saw fit TO nominate
me to the Office Of State Senator.
/ wish to state that had not angl-
ed for this nomination and it was q
complete surprise to me.
As will be too busy this spring
to make canvass Of the county, will
state that am q pioneer in this
part Of the state, being about the
first settler on what is known as the
West Fork bench, as located here in
1911.
I have been through all Of it, first
getting land broken up and improve
ment on the claim; then getting good
crops and long hauls, selling crops for
much less than the cost Of produc-
ton; then the last four bad years; So
that think that / am in a position
to know the needs Of the farmer.
It is impossible to make any state
ment at this time as to what stand
l will take on any proposition, be-
cause we do not know what will
come up. I will state, however, that
/ am thoroughly in accord with the
National Nonpartisan League pro-
gram and will always be found on

HOW TO KILL
CRASSH0PPERS

CRASSH0PPERS
There have been numerous reports
ceming in to L. S. Olsen about the
(grasshoppers and he took it up with
the Agricultural College 1t Bohemian,
and he received the following reply:
8. Bozeman, Mont, April 1st, 1920.
Judge L. s. Olsen,
Tentywood,. Montana.
Ny Dear Sir:
We are In receipt Of your letter Of
March 9th concerning grzsshoppers.
Your report reached Us at practic-
ally the same time as similar reports
from Regina, Sask., CuIbertson and
Intake and it would seem that the
eggs Matched unusually early over q
large district in eastern Montana and
southern Saskatchewan.
We have never before known grass
hopI'ers to appear SO early in Nom
tana. Although we have not seen
specimens, the species. which we have
some reason 70 believe is the the
Matching now, does not ordinarily
show up until May l and more often
later than that.
Concerning control measures we
see no reason why poison bran mash
should not be effective. Mr.. J. r.
Parker, an expert from this depart
ment, will be in Eastern Montana
early next week to look up this grass
hopper situation. After his invest
cation we can doubtless tell you nncre
definitely what will re the best pro-
cedure to FOLLOW. There is a eues-
ton now whether it would be better
to go ahead and Doison them 1T once
when they are still moreb or less
punched or whether it would be
merely to get really for them nov
and poison them when they begin 10
cause damage to crops.
It may be that Mr.. Parker will get
up to Plentywood and in which case,
Of course, he will look you up, but
his plans now do not contemplate
that. However, we will write you and
keep you informed on what we find
out. If serious condition develops,
doubtless someone from this depart
ment will have to spend considerable
time in your part OF the state. It
has always been thought that series
of wet spells and frosts coming after
grasshoppers have hatcned would put
that may happen.
Ey c,,f observations Of last season
we expected trouble from gTas:.lap-
pers, this year over most OF the state
but hardly expecta'l it SO soon. -Ac.
cordingly the special session Of the
legislature was asked to appropriate
funds for a grasshopper campaign
but, although the legislature was
willing, there were no funls avail
able.
Very truly yours,
Y. J.. STRAND.

hoppers eggs are laid and by q little
well -directed effort with disk or plo'v
the eggs can be destroyed and the
damages preventei.
The places most commonly select
ed by grasshoppes for egg laying
are those where the tno layer 1t sell
