Modern Methods Are
Applied To Turkey
And Hog Stealing

Bowesmont, N. D., Dec. 6.-Science
has been applied to the business of
turkey and hog stealing in this COM
munity, according to farmers who
have recently been missing fowl from
their roosts and swine from their pens
The old caveman method, that of grab
bing what was wanted and running
with it regardless of the noise or the
number Of watch dogs in pursuit,
has been abandoned, farmers say.
The new way employed by thieves
is to chloroform the property wanted
and when the anesthetic has taken ef-
feet, pick up the pig or turkey and
quietly depart without disturbing the
rest of either the watch dog or the
members of the family.
Several farmers have detected the
odor of chloroform in their pens and
coops in the morning and upon inves-
tigation have found that thieves had
made nightly visits. From the thief's
point Of view the method is proving
effective, but from the point of view
of the farmer, the method is spelling
greater losses than the crude methods
of the past have ever done, the vic
tins declare.

Lad Convicted OF
Wrecking G. N. Train; t
Sentence Deferred

Williston, N. D., Dec. 6. Harry
Kerns, 1s-year-old farm boy, who was
charged with malicious injury to a
railroad, in connection with the wreck
of the freight train at Todd siding
on October 10, which caused the death
of the engineer and brakeman, and
whose trial commenced last Wednes-
day in district court here, was found
guilty Tuesday night.
The case which was one Of the
most sensational that has been held
i'll district court here and on account
Of the large number of witnesses it
took a week to complete. For the
plaintiff 19 witnesses were called to
the stand and nine for the defend
ants. John Burke Of Fargo, former
United States treasurer, assisted
States Attorney F. W. McGuiness in
the prosecution of the case and Kerns
was represented by Thomas F. C1a-
ven of the firm of Craven and Con-
verse.
Judge Lowe deferred the sentenc-
ing of Kerns until December IL, when
district court will convene again fol-
lowing an adjournment which was
called Wednesday. The delay in CIV
ing Kerns his sentence is due to the
fact that the defendants attorneys
want time to decide whether or not
they will appeal the case. The penal
ty for the crime of which Kerns is
guilty calls for a sentence of from
four years to life in the state peni-
tentiary. The jury remained out over
IL hours on this case.

ALL AMERICA THEORY
is AN IMPOSSIBILITY
Football Has Been Growing by
Leaps and Bounds.
No Man In This Progressive Age Can
See Enough Players and Games
to Warrant the Selection of
Eleven Best Men.

There was a time when football ex-
perts took a hard look at the Har-
ward Yale Princeton lineup and then
went home with the feeling that they
were well qualified to pick their All
American teams. No other games
mattered, no other players figured. All
America on the gridiron in those days
not generation ago-was bounded
by Cambridge, Massachusetts New
Haven, Connecticut, and Princeton,
New Jersey. SO far as football was
concerned, State College, Pennsyl-
vania; Danville, Kentucky; Berkeley,
California, and Atlanta, Georgia, might
just as well have been trading posts
in the Hudson Bay territory.
When Walter Camp originated the
All America idea in 1888 he named
five men from Princeton, three from
Yale and three from Harvard, and
called it fine seasons work. In 1890
a Pennsylvania man crept into the
list; in 1894 Cornell gained repre-
sentation on the All America. When
in 1897 Hirschberger of Chicago and
in 1898 Seneca of the Carlisle Indians
won places in the all-star combina-
ton there was a great ado. Football
was growing by leaps and bounds, the
experts proclaimed.
1t did grow by leaps and bounds.
1t has kept growing by leaps and
bounds, and it promises to keep on
growing in just that way. Progress
in the East has made it a difficult
task to select an All East eleven.
Remarkable Roadway in the South
and on the Pacific coast has made
the All America team an impossibility.
With the Middle West and the South
the Pacific coast winning over the
best in the Middle West, with the
Missouri valley grown to great foot
ball stature and the Southwest clamor-
ing for recognition too, no man, even In.
this age Of airplanes, can in single
season see enough games and enough
players to warrant his naming an All
America team. Were he able to see,
he could not crowd his stars into en-
eleven.
The All America eleven has gone
the way bare knuckles and London
prize ring rules went in pugilism,
the way of the trim clipper and
transatlantic schooner races. The
glamour of romance begins to grow
about the All Americans Of the old
days. Another generation and they
will be legendary.

Why of Early Flowers.

Many blooms are found in our hard
wood forests in the spring-in fact at
this season the woods are wild
flower garden, while later in the sea-
son they have comparatively few flow
ers, says the American Forestry Mag
azine. The reason for this vernal
habit Of woodland plants is that in
the spring the sunlight shines down
almost unobstructed on the forest
floor, but later on, when the trees have
attained their full LEAKAGE, but little
light filters through. And light is re-
quired for the carrying on of the work
of food elaboration by the leaves, so
that the forest plants send up their
leaves into the spring sunshine, manu-
facture food, and store it in under
ground structures, such as bulbs, corms
and rootstocks, so that they are ready
for an early start next spring.

TAxIMETER NOT NEW IDEA
Also Claimed as a. Chinese
Invention.

Dhat there is nothing new under the
sun is aptly illustrated In the case of
the taxicab meter, supposedly of mod
ern invention. Investigation shows
that vehicle equipped with apparatus
for measuring the distance Travelled
and the time consumed was in use be-
fore the beginning of the Christian era.
Investigation shows that such We
hicle formed part of the possessions
of Commodius, emperor of Rome, and
when, in 1872 B. c., Pertinax succeed
ed to the throne following the Staying
Of Commodius, he numbered this car
riage in the list of the dead emperor's
personal effects which were put up at
auction.
The Chinese also claim that about
six centuries ago they had invented
carriage or cart which had mech
anism so arranged that a pebble was
dropped into box every mile the We
hicle Travelled.
In any event neither of these inven-
lions remained to be handed down to
posterity. The Roman invention disap-
peared in the fall of the Roman en-
pire, and the Chinese forerunner of
the taxicab evidently did not prove
popular as it disappeared in the sue
ceeding centuries.
The first contrivance similar to the
taxicab in comparatively modern times
made It's appearance in the early part
of the Seventeenth century in England
in the shape Of "way-wiser'' attached
to an ordinary stage coach This
measured the number of rods and
miles travelled. Other similar inven-
tons were produced in the next hun
dred years or so, but they did not come
into favor either with the travelling
public or the proprietors Of coach lines
and liveries
The taximeter came into its own with
the advent Of the automobile as a
means Of transportation.-C Cleveland

PRO FOOTBALL TERMED EVIL
Yale Daily News Makes Vigorous At
tack EdtoriaIIy on 'Capitaliza-
ton of Sport.

Professional football has been Wig
rously attacked editorially by the
Yale Daily News, which. says that the
capitalization of football training is
AN evil to be stamped upon. The stu
dent editor says that football and Or
gained brutality might easily become
synonymous, and that while the rec
.ognition of clean sport and fair play
have kept the game on a gentleman's
standard there is no such stimulus for
fair play in the commercial game, in
which the lowering of standards is
inevitable.
The News adds: 1.-The growth of
professional football has not, fortu-
Inately, been rapid. Most college men
recognize the risk of its degeneration
and refuse to take it up. The excep-
lions that go into the football business
are rewarded by the loss of respect of
their college"

British Town Behind the Times

A town without telephone there
are many such in Africa, India and
other remote regions where as yet
civilization has barely penetrated.
But Upminster, England, included
within the metropolitan area in the
London directory, with its motor
garages, its police stations, and it's
post office, certainly does not belong in
the uncivilized category. Yet accord
ing to the official records there are no
private telephones among it's 1000 resi-
dents. At the post office single pub
lie telephone is installed, which is
available for use only during regular
post-office hours.
Repeated petitions to the postmaster
general asking for additional facilities
have thus far been without effect
upon the bureaucrats who run the
government-owned telephone system.
Telephonically speaking, Upminster is
like Peter Pan. 1t has never grown up.

WATCH FOR THAT
WEAK SPOT
A Cough or Cold Hits It
Every Time.
May Bring on Tuberculosis
Fortify Yourself by Taking
Bears Emulsion.

How are we to keep from getting
consumption if our lungs are weak?
by taking good care of yourself. Never
let your system get in rundown,
weak, nervous condition. Never let q
cough linger on from day to day no
matter how little it may bother you.
Try to get rid of getting cold and
allowing it to attack one spot every
time on little exposure. Get a REM
edy that will build up that spot,
strengthen it and make it as strong
as any other part of the body. The
tuberculosis germ only attacks the
weak places and if we have no weak
spots the germ is thrown out of the
body again. Bears Emulsion sold by
leading druggists. 1t is recommended
TO build up the system and lungs so as
to fortify us against this germ. And
as have read so many testimonials
from different people of Rockingham
County | believe this remedy is one
of the best for run down system and
weak lungs.
