Wild Ducks Are
Menace To Crops

Huron, Nov. 18.-For the first
time in so years, general wall is
going up from the farmers of Bea-
die county who are united in the dec
laration that wiuld ducks from the
north, particularly blue bills and
mallards, are responsible for the loss
of thousands of dollars to the corn
raisers of this section. Old residents
of hits county say they have never
seen such numbers Of the usually
welcome game birds, the wild ducks
from their nesting grounds further
north, stopping over here to feed.
This year the farmers are up against
particularly hard proposition. Due
to the low quotations for corn, many
corn producers in Beadle county
found it Improbable to pick the
crop. AS a result hundreds of acres
will remain unpicked through the
winter. Many are turning their hogs
into the fields. But the ducks are
getting their share of the unpicked
corn, according to the frmaers.

Deaf H OF
MRS. |. 7. CROW
PASSED AWAY AT NOON TO-DAY
WAS A PIONEER RESI-
DENT.

The sad intelligence of the death
at 12:45 p. m. today of Mrs. l.. T.
Grow after a period of waning
strength due to the infirmities of old
age came as a shock to the relatives
and friends who were for weeks past
hoping for some signs of recovery.
Death came as al relief to heI
whose life covered a span of 81
years. -
Mrs. Grow and her husband came
to this state from Iowa about forty
three years ago. They settled.
on land in Leroy township, being
successful in every way while en-
gagged in farming. After leaving the
homestead the family came to Madi-
son to reside. They were among the
first families to assist in the devel-
opment of what was then new coun
try, Madison being but a small vii
lage.
The husband of the deceased pass
ed away more than a dozen yeaH
ago. There are still living as imme-
diate survivors three sons, Bert Crow
now a resident of Long Beach, Cal.
Henry Grow, residing on farm IN
Leroy township and John Crow, al
present engaged as an engineer for
the Milwaukee out of Madison, and

RUM RUNNERS
SPREAD TERROR
BIG CARS, WITH NO LIGHTS
SPEED ALONG CANADIAN
HIGHWAYS AT NIGHT.

Winnipeg, Nov. 18.-Rum run
ners, who for many months terroriz-
ed the highways on the American
side of the border by running wild"
with cargoes of liquor, have changed
the scene of their operations to the
Canadian highways. The invasion
of the rum runners, composed most
ly of a motley collection of thugs and
crooks, has aroused southern Saskat-
chewan.
According to Rev. C. e. Whiting,
former Presbyterian pastor of Gains
boro, rum runners, travelling heavily
armed, are a menace to lawabiding
citizens. So zealously do they pur-
sue their occupation that they insist
on having right of way over all 9TH
er traffic and it is not safe for ordin-
airy citizens to question that insist
ency.
Frequently these liquor cars travel
at night without lights. 1t is a
nerveracking experience to be driv-
ing a horse along a dark road to be
met suddenly by a large auto with
out lights, says Mr.. Whiting.
Few are aware of the number of
cars that nightly and daily visit
liquor houses, load up and make for
the United States boundary, accord
ing to Mr.. Whiting. while in Gains
boro I saw cars with license plates
of nearly every state in the middle
west from as far south as Texas and
as far west Of Colorado.
Large rewards await rum rum
ners. One man openly Dragged that
he would be able to retire IL he got
through with the liquor purchased
on one trip. He arrived with fleet
of five cars, all loaded to capacity
with liquor at $50 case. At its
destination the cargo was to be dis
posed of at $3.50 case"
According to Mr.. Whiting, the
force maintained to prevent law
breaking in Canada is entirely in
adequate.

BUSINESSMEN
AGAINST WAR
PLENTY OF MISCHIEF MAKERS
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PA.
CIFTC, DECLARES LAMONT.

New York, Nov. 18.-Wars would
end tomorrow if the businessmen of
America and Japan were to have
their way, Thomas w. Lamont, of
j. P. Morgan and company; told sew
eral hundred guests at dinner CIV
en- by the Japan society in honor of
the visiting japanese industrial COM
mission.
THE delegates at Washington" he
said, require no fresh pressure from
the business interests to spur them
to secure from the conference the re-
suits that we are all looking for, but
if they required such spur, you may
be sure it would be forthcoming"
The banker, who presided at the
dinner, said that upon Great Britain,
Japan and America jointly rested the
great responsibility for determining
by their agreement on naval reduc-
tion whether the world shall hence
forth go bound or free.
Some people there are who still
have the silly idea that the great
manufacturers and bankers profit
from war and from it's preparation, I"
he continued. "On the contrary,
there is not set of people who suffer
more directly from the terrible con-
sequences of war than the business
interests. / only have to remind you
that for months throughout the ci-
vilized world industry and commerce
have been in distressing state as a
a direct consequence of the war.
Mr.. Lamont asserted that If war
it self spells calamity to business,
then measurably the preparation for
war means heavier drain upon busi-
ness than upon any other class OF
industry.
"For in the last analysis" he add
ed. cit is business that in the form
of taxes has to pay for armament
for upkeep of armies and for all the
other preparations for war. For al
the nations of the earth, that cos
today. three years after the armistict
was signed, is far heavier han 1T wa'
before the war"
The banker warned that there
was plenty of mischief makers OF
both sides of the Pacific. "It is oul
business to thwart such people ant
such newspapers as breed suspicion
and envy and rancor and fear" M
said.
