HERREID ON THE MAP

The South Dakota Leader recently
carried column and half article
attacking the people Of Herreid and
claiming that the business men of
the townhad used bunch of returned
soldiers to try to mob a league organ
izer.
The people of Herreid got together
and kired the entire front page of the
Herreid Picayune to answer the ar
ticle.
The league newspaper featured it's
usual bunk about Legion members be-
ing used by the business men, and
said the league speaker answered the
charge that Townley was bankrupt
by saying that Mckinley was also a
bankrupt. The league organ further
proclaimed that "tar and feathers and
ropes seem to be the trade mark of
the American Legion-a sort of favor
ite emblem. /" The article claimed that
men in uniform assembled and march
ed up and down the street with ropes
and that the leader went to the league
organizers room and told him to get
"the hell out out of town" The lsag-
ue newspaper stated that Herreid was
3, little two-byfour town, anyway, and
that the farmers had swarmed into
town with railroad spikes, bolts, etc. 4,
in their pockets to fight the mob.
The Herreid people have published
an answer to the statement declaring
that no uniformed men were on the
street during the day in question, nor
were any ropes in evidence. The
league paper had claimed that the
keeper of the school house had been
kidnapped so the league couldn't get
the key. The answer states that the
man in question is big raw-boned
returned soldier and that he declares
that if he was kidnapped, he hadn't
found it out yet.
The Herreid people close their ar
ticle by calling the attention of the
public to then fact that while tho
people of that vicinity know that the
league newspapers account was a
childish, lying yarn not substantiated
by facts, that other communities
throughout the state may be misled
by the yarn.
The South Dakota people have our
sympathy. They have yet to go
through what North Dakota has ex-
perienced.
We wisk that every believer in
Townleyism could read the league ar
ticle in question and the answer given
by the Herreid people. It would be
an eye-opener.

FORMER PIONEER DEAD

b BISMARCK TRIBUNE: Another
one of the city's and county's pioneer
residents died yesterday when G. M.
Mandigo, ill for some time, passed
away. Mr.. Mandigo, who had lived
in this vicinity since 1886, was one
of the best liked and most respected
citizens of the city. He came from
a prominent Quebec family and was
always a leader in movements for the
betterment of the community in which
he lived.
Mr.. Mandigo was born June 13,
.1849, in Qubec, Canada where he spent
his early days. He was married
there, December %, 1869, to Fidelia
Robinson, who died here April 18,
1906. Mr.. and Mrs. Mandigo, hear
ing of the opportunities in this terri
ory, left Quebec in 1886 and came to
North Dakota, settling at Williams
port, where they filed claim.
Remaining on their farm for fif-
teen years, Mr.. Mandigo went into
business at Bismarck and moved his
family into this city where they have
since resided, their home on Second
street being one Of the city's land
marks. Mr.. Mandigo purchased con-
siderable property in that section Of
the city which he owned up to the
time of his death.
The deceased is survived by four
children, Ira James, Warren Leslie,
Wellington Donald, and Narcissa Dora
Mr.. Mandigo was life long member
of the Methodist church and was an
active worker in that church. He was
also prominently identified with Ma
sonry in this city. The funeral SER
vices will be held at the McCabe Meth
odist church Saturday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock.

WINTER CARE FOR CURRANTS
To Eradicate Insects and Fungus
Germs Dormant Spray Of Lime
and Sulphur Is Good.

Currants need good soil, and should
not be planted too close. The rows
should be at least seven feet apart,
and the bushes five feet apart in the
row. At this distance, when full
grown, they will come together in the
rows and leave none too much space
between the rows for cultivation and
picking. OF course, this is for mar
ket purposes.
For home purposes four or five
bushes, if properly taken care of, will
give an ample supply. The soil should
be rich and kept rich and moist by
ample mulching with strong manure.
This should be attended to every
spring. Currant bushes need some
trimming. Every spring they should

the object Of experimental work re-
Gently undertaken by specialists in the

Of the bureau Of chemistry, United

The high cost of copper, which Is an
essential ingredient Of the fungiclde
known as bordeaux mixture, has leu
to experiments to determine whether
bordeaux mixture cannot be prepared
which will be more effective for each
unit Of copper present than as usually
prepared, thus resulting in q saving OF
this expensive constituent Of the Dor
deaux mixture.
Studies also will be made of the
manufacture Of paris green, lead ar
senate, and other compounds OF ar
senic. No systematic study Of all the
compounds Of arsenic that might be
useful In spraying has been made, ana
it is thought probable that such
systematic study will lead either to
the development of cheaper sprays
because the constituent elements are
cheaper, or to sprays that are more
effective than the sprays now used.
I Nicotine as an insecticide will be
studied with view of developing pos
sible substitutes for 1t, since there are
a number of compounds which resem-
bic nicotine in chemical and toxic
properties. 1t Is hoped to develop
something that will be cheaper ana
even more effective than nicotine. A
study will also be made of the best
and cheapest methods Of extracting
nicotine from tobacco products on the
farm. Compounds Of lime, sulphur,
and other compounds which may be
used as insecticides and fungicides will
be investigated.
Commercial methods of preparing
insecticides and fungicides will be
studied under practical conditions OF
preparation with a view of developing
cheaper and more effective methods
for manufacturing them.
The efficiency of the insecticides
developed and the question OF whether
or not they are Injurious to growing
fruits and vegetables will be deter
mined by field experiments conducted
by the bureaus OF entomology, plant
Industry and chemistry.
