Elk Governor
Dies Penniless

Topeka, Kas., Nov. 4.-Relatives
announced here today that they had
identified man who died at the
county poor farm here October % as
Norman Wiley, who at one time was
governor of Idaho.
The Identification was made by j..
A. Black of Dover, small town
southwest of Topeka.
Wiley, according to Blacks state
ment was a miner in Idaho until
elected lieutenant governor in 1892.
The governor soon afterward resign
ed to accept federal position and
Wiley filled out the term. Later he
went to California where he owned
mine and was engaged in business
until three years ago when his health
failed and came to Dover, Kas., to
live with his sister. After her death

DEER HUNTING
SEASON OPENS
WEATHER CONDITIONS FAVOR
ANIMALS-SEVERA LICENSES
ISSUED.

Lead, Nov. 4.-Despite the fact
that the restrictions which have been
placed upon hunters by the last ses-
sion laws and the limitation of the
ground over which he may travel in
his search for deer, quite a number
Just before the closing of the county
treasurer's office Monday evening
took out licenses to hunt big game.
The weather and conditions of the
forest are such that they favor the
deer, and will make them hard to get
near. Everything is dry, and each
step the hunter takes is accompan-
led by noise, which in the stiffness
of the forest wilds sounds like a bat
terry of Jap hammers at work on the
side of boiler.
The state park and game sanctuary
in the southern Hills and the Roose-
welt preserve and refuge in the north
ern Hills has limited the country over
which it is legal to travel in search
of deer to kill, and as only one buck
is allowed each hunter, it looks as
though some who go out into the
woods are going to return empty
handed.
1t is nice, however, to get away
from civilization for few days, as
in the smoke of camp fire, rest on
the hard ground during the night
and get up shivering in the cold of
the early morning, and there are lots
of fellows who think it the acme of
enjoyment, and all such are going to
be out, deer or no deer. One woman,
in talking to fellow who had told
her of his preparations for a hunt,
evidently is a partisan of the deer,
for she told him. 81 wish that every
hunter who goes out this month is
chased by a deer, caught, bitten by
the animal and given the hydropho-
bia, There!"

To Investigate
N. d. Bank

Fargo, N. d. Nov. PA probe OF
the affairs of the Bank of North Da-
kota is the first step scheduled by
the Independents, elected at North
Dakota's recall. Both sides agreed
today that the initiated law provid-
ing for the liquidation of the bank
failed to pass when voters ousted
nonpartisan state officials.
The other initiated measures
which failed to pass caused the nom
partisan state program to remain
intact. This will be administered by
three independent state officials. A
bitter fight until the regular elec-
tions next summer between the two
factions was forseen by politicians
here. The Independents now have
the books of the Bank of North Da-
kota, the Home Building association
and the Grand Forks Mill & Elevator
project open to them.

SOUTH DAKOTA
PUREBRED HOGS
ONE OF THE LEADING STATES
IN PRODUCTION.

Mitchell, Nov. 4.--Approximately
one-twentieth of all the purebred
hogs owned in the United States to-
day are being raised on South Da-
kota farms. This information is OBJ
tanned from report released from
the federal census bureau, which
shows that South. Dakota has 1883
purebred hogs. The number in the
entire nation is 2.049,900. South
Dakota's hogs are 4 1-2 per cent or
the nations total.
The only states which exceed South
Dakota in the number of purebred
hogs are Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois.
Iowa leads the entire nation with
I2S9,042 purebred swine.
Duroc Jersey hogs lead in numbers
in South Dakota as WELL as in the
nation. This state has 44,569 hogs
of that breed, while the whole United
States has S19,117 Duroc Jerseys.
Poland China hogs come second in
numbers in South Dakota, with &c.
O45 of that breed, while Chester
Whites are third, with total of TO-
400 Hampshires are fourth with g.
479.
Other breeds which appear in
South Dakota in small numbers show
the following numbers: Berkshires.
395; spotted Poland Chinas, 65;
Tamworths, AZ, and Yorkshires. So.
A total of 1898 purebred hogs were
listed without the breed being given.

BIG RE " ARD
FOR MURDERER
COUNTY OFFERS MONEY TO FIND
MANS SLAYER.

Huron, Nov. A reward of $500
for information leading to the arrest
and conviction of the person or per-
sons who killed Gust Nordby, of near
Virgil, on or about October Is, was
authorized by the board of county
commissioners at their meeting here.
The board feels that by this method
some information of a tangible ma
ture may be secured to unravel the
mystery which still surrounds the
death of Mr.. Nordby, whose body was
found lying alon gthe road a mile
west of Wolsey, with wound in the
left breast produced by a 410-gauge
shotgun, found lying under fence
113 feet from the body.
The coroner's jury found that
Nordby was "feloniously killed." but
there seems to be weyy grounded
belief by some who are familiar with
the details that the killing might
have been the result of mistaken
identity. Advocates of this theory
point out that as result of numer-
Gus holdups in various parts of the
northwest, motorists have taken the
precaution of passing pedestrians on
the road at full speed, while others
have provided themselves with fire.
arms as precautionary measure.
The argument is advanced that
Nordby might have attempted to stop
a car for the purpose of obtaining
ride into Wolsey, or more likely yet,
that he might have started to walk
from Wolsey to Washington, where
he left his team, and have stopped
car going in that direction, and that
the occupants of the car might have
shot him first and investigated after
wards; that after the shooting the
identity of the dead man was dis
covered, whereupon the person who
did the shooting attempted to hide
the gun and has SO far kept silent
on the subject for fear that his story
might not be believed by the authori-
ties.

FORDNEY PRESENTS
THE BONUS BILL
DECLARES HE WILL BRING 1T
UP In CONNECTION WITH
SALES TAX AT NEXT SES-
SION.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Deploring
the effort to put sales tax through
the senate at present, Chairman Ford
ney of the house ways and means
committee, disclosed yesterday that
it was his plan to bring in a sales
tax in connection with the soldiers
bonus bill, which he said would be
reported during the regular session.
Earlier, Mr.. Fordney, Representa-
tive Green of Iowa, and Longworth
of Ohio, had informed senate leaders
that under no condition would the
house agree to a sales tax at this
time.
With proponents of the Smoot
plan claiming only five votes less
than a majority for the sales tax,
some republican senate leaders
thought the fate of that proposition
would be decided by discussions in
the senate.
The latest canvass of the senate by
leaders was said to have shown 30
republican senatros for the sales tax
IL aainst it and IL doubtful with six
absent or not polled. Two democrats
were represented as favoring this
form of taxation with three others
doubtful.
Proceeding with the tax bill, the
senate completed consideration OF
majority committee amendments and
took up changes proposed by sena-
tors. A third night session was
held.

Representative Brennan, republican,
of Michigan. Declaring that for the
last two years "the revenue which
rightfully should have flowed into
the Golfers of Uncle Sam has been col

ners." Representative Brennan pre-
dicted that under the recent regula-
ton permitting medicinal use OF
beer, ''oceans'' of it will be manufac-
tured and sold for purposes other
than strictly medicinal"

Aping Wilson

That the republican administra.
ton in Washington is following
the policies of Woodrow Wilson
was the keynote of q speech made
BY Senator X. D. McKeller at the
regular weekly luncheon of the
Memphis Rotary club Tuesday at
Hotel GayosO. 1T is my honest
opinion that if conditions remain
as they are now" be seid, it will
not be long before Harding will be
relying mainly on the good votes
of the democratic minority. Hard
ing has been in Office q short time.
but it is long enough to see that
he is doing exactly what Wilson
tried to do.
This is true of the Island Of
zap question, the Colombian treaty
and the soldiers in Germany"

The farmers who make money
those who diversity their crops.
$50 many crops have grown to be
uncertain that it is actually neces-
sary to not rely on one crop.
Il seems to us that the farmer
should grow enough corn and hay
to feed his stock and make bis
meat. He should be able to sell
enough corn and meat to buy his
-four if he cannot raise wheat.
He should raise all the vegetables
be needs and if prepared TO keep
them should be able to sell some
potatoes, both sweet and Irish,
The potato crop is fast growing to
be a fine money crop.
Every farmer should raise poul-
try, for home consumption and for
che market. There is a growing
demand at fair prices for chickens
and eggs. The establishment Of
so many creameries over the
country and the establishment of
agencies where creameries are not
convenient, makes the keeping
of two or more good cows a pro-
itable investment.
For ready money crop some
cotton should be grown. But cot
ton should not be grown to buy
the food and feed the family needs.
The price of cotton is very UNI
certain, but farmer who grows
cotton as his surplus crop will
have plenty to eat and money to
lay aside for a rainy day.
Diversity your crop and be in
dependent is good advice whether
it is taken or not.

MOVEMENT STARTS
WILSON MEMORIAL
John DrinIswater Delivers EuIOgy
to the Former President at
New York Meeting

A movement was launched ii
New York Tuesday to establish a
perpetual memorial 10 honor OF
Woodrow Wilson-the man who
projected into the world the idea
Of the League Of Nations.
After listening to eulogy Of
the former president BY John
Drinkwater, English playwright,
some 500 men and women voted
unanimously to appoint a temper
airy crmmittee to work out details
Of the memorial. Franklin d,
Roosevelt, democratic vice presi-
DENTAL candidate ii the last cleo
ton, who presided at the gather
ing, was appointed chairman of
committee, with Henry Morgan
THAI, former ambassador to Tur-
key, treasurer.
Mr.. Drinkwater's address was
frequently interrupted BY applause,
particularly when he declared that
Mr.. Wilson conceived beyond his
executive capacity "a thing that is
generally true of all great histor-
ical figures"
Most men," said the speaker,
ARE prone to bow to submission
at the first assault of expediency.
II is the tragedy and the glory Of
Woodrow Wilson that he chung
tenaciously to his ideals regardless
of personal consequences"
''It is generally agreed" he con-
tinued. THAT his tactics were BY
no means perfect. But the STRAIT
egy back of them made one of the
greatest contributions to modern
civilization"

Fruit Growing
Editor Democrat:

Editor Democrat:
A very large problem confronts
Carroll county farmers this year.
They want to know what to grow
on their farms. They fear to risk
| planting and growing another crop,
with price conditions now prevail
ing staring them in the face.
The growing of plenty of grain
and hay, and fruits, and vegetables,
and pigs and chickens and every
thing that tends TO make the farm
self-sustaining should be taken as
a matter of first Importance. That
is all good, but a little money is
needed. Cotton failed US as a
money crop. Now what shall we
plant to take its placeG Let US see
what others are doing to solve this
problem. Many of the southern
farmers have entered into fruit
culture with excellent results. The
growers have found the business
profitable and dependable. Jus
now it is refreshing to find fruit
