Mrs. Aagodt Borgeston of Devils
Lake is charged with being implicat-
ed in the same robbery, according to
reports received here. A remark in
~nocently made by her little daughter
led to Mrs. Borgcston's arrest and
arrangement on a charge of receiving
stolen government property. She
was arraigned before the United
States commissioner at Akota and re-
manded to the Ramsey county Jail
in default of $500 bond.
Nolan was arrested early this fall
on a charge of burglary. Grand

with burglarizing the Strandness store

BARIUM POISONOUS TO RATS
Tcsta indicate That a 20 Per Cent
Mixture With Food Makes Most
Satisfactory Bait.

A study of barium carbonate as q
rat poison, made by the United States
Department of Agriculture, indicates
that a 20 per cent mixture with food
makes a satisfactory bait. With this
percentage Il rat ordinarily needs to
eat only one-third or three-eighths of
a meal of average size to get a fatal
dose. 1t vas found that with this dose
many of the rats poisoned died with
In "a hours, though an occasional rat
was found which survived an even
larger amount, thus indicating that
100 per cent mortality is not to be ex-
pected in any case.
A summary of results of experi-
ments conducted by various persons
with a view to determining the dead
Illness of barium to different animals
shows the faslacy Of the assumption
that barium is poisonous only to rats.
1t is pointed out that the fatal dose
of hariuln per pound tends to decrease
relatiyely as the size of the animal
incretscS and that q bait calculated
to be fatal to rats may be assumed TO
be more or less dangerous to small
domestic animals also.

CUSTOMERS SECURED
FOR POULTRY SHOWS
Persons at Summer Resorts Buy
Produce in Winter.
City People Have Inspected Producers
Farm and Know Under What Con.
ditions Foodstuffs Are Raised
One Case Cited.

Many producers living neal summer
resorts supply produce in the summer
months to the persons at the resorts,
and during the other months Of the
year ship produce to these persons
while they are in the city. This, say
marketing specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, is
one Of the best methods Of obtaining
customers for direct marketing, as the
producer and consumer have some &C.
quaintance. In most instances the Gus
toners have been at the producers
farm and know under what conditions
the articles are produced.
One Ia who lives heal a summer
resort in Indiana is about twelve miles
from then nearest town. of any size. He
does not desire to drive to this town to
dispose Of his farm produce and is not
satisfied with the prices that the buck
sters pay. Consequently he built up q
business of supplying products to re-
sorters in the summer and of shipping
produce by parcel post and express to
these persons at their city homes in
the winter.
The principal products shipped are
butter, eggs and dressed poultry. This
producer uses good shipping containers
and packs produce attractively. AS he
is acquainted with his customers, he
renders statements of accounts only
once a month. In this way the matter
of making payments is simplified for
the customers.
This producer has had no trouble in
establishing his business nor in retain
ing customers. He states that his only
trouble has been in getting enough
high-grade produce to supply all of his
customers.

POINTS OUT HUSBANDS DUTY
Writer Insists No Man May Stand in
the Light of His Wife's Domes-
tic Ambitions. .

'Eu""'ed husband" writes us that
he is sore!l tried by his wife's ambi-
ton to bake the family bread, and
other things His domestic affection
and spirit OF chivalry\ will not permit
him to tell his wife the truth-that
the bread is almost as heavy as a paw
ing stone and quite as ~indigestible. So
he goes to work every morning with
a heavy heart and an even heavier
stomach, and is bedeviled with gripes
and abdominal pains all day, Greene
M. Farley writes in the Seattle Post
Intelligencer.
Not only that, but his wife is a con-
stant reader Of domestic science de-
partments and she uses him as an ex-
pertinent station. This last week, he
says, he had biscuits that would do for
sinkers on a fish line and an angel
cake that could not be differentiated
from old putty. The h%eartrending fea-
ture is that she asks him with a
bright smile how he likes it all, and he
cannot find it in his breast to tell the
truth about it; so he lies frankly and
fundamentally.
All this is getting on his nerves and
on his stomach and on his conscience.
In the course of a little time he
feels his life insurance is going to be
due.
Should he tell her the truth, or
should he suffer in silence and let her
go ahead and collect the life insur-
ance?
If life is worth anything to him he
might conclude to tell her the truth
and let her go ahead and procure her
divorce. She might find a second hus-
band with a cast-iron digestive appa-
ratus and the present husband ought
not to stand in the way of his. wife's
career as a domestic scientist.

This Monster Was BattIer.

The curators of the Launceston and
T~ascanian museums have presented to
the Royal Society Of Tasmania the pre-
liminary account of a nearly complete
skeleton of a gigantic extinct monster
recently discovered in the p~leistocene
beds of Tasmania.
The animal was as large as the
largest existing rhinoceros. The new
discovery shows clearly that it was a
rhinocerOS-like animal, with a skull
built for aggressive warfare, and at
least one powerful horn on the Snout.
Evidence of the gigantic battles in
which this animal engaged is To be
found in the complete smaslin" and
partial mending OF the col,ar-bone,
and in the crushing and sl'',s ,ulent
repair of the bones of the nose and
snout.
