Farmer, Eluding ~.
Careful Watch of
Wife, Kills Self

Mandan, N. D. March S.-Eluding
the careful watch kept upon him by
his wife, when she momentarily
dozed off to sleep after along fight
to keep awake and prevent her hus-
band from some deed, Clemens Leh-
man 81, farmer living nine miles
northwest of Hebron, N. D., at 4:3O
a. M. rose quitely, secured his shot
gun, stepped outside the door Of his
farm home, ignoring the frantic calls
of his wife who was awakened by
the slamming CT the door, placed the
muzzel Of the gun against his head
and pulled the trigger. He died in
stantly.
Dependency over ill health, worry
over the fact that he had but little
more hay and feed to give his live
stock which was already showing
signs of the starvation that followed
il the wake Of recent billiards which
has killed thousands of head of cat
tie and horses, and general financial
worries, were responsible for the
tragedy, in the opinion Of the coroner,
Lehman, nearly all of his seven
children, and his wife had been i'll
with the flu the last two weeks Sun
day he appeared mentally deranged.
Mrs. Lehman planned to watch him
carefully, t}ien take him to Hebron
Monday. It was hard battle for the
flu and the overbudrening work of
caring for the sick children made her
so weary she could barely keep
awake. 1t was $3.50 before sleep de-
feated her, she told the coroner. Doz-
ing for but moment, she awakened
when she heard the husband open
the door. She saw him with the
shotgun and frantically called to
him. The slam of the door and the
gun's discharge was her answer.
Lehman owned large farm, free
of debts and we'll stocked.

Things To Do in March

Make window box for starting
plants, such as egg plants, tomatoes,
and peppers, that are easily injured
by frost and that require more than
the normal North Dakota outdoor
growing season to ripen their crop.
A shallow box, one or two feet
square placed in window where it
will get the sunlight and will not
freeze will gain several weeks in
earliness for these plants. Fill the
box with rich earth, mixing in some
well rotted manure and sand to keep
the soil from packing, if il can be
obtained readily. Sow the seed
thinly and cover one quarter inch.
Thin to three inches each wey, Early
cabbage, cauliflower, head lettuce and
celery also may be sown this way.

Builders Adopt
soc An Hour Scale

Grand Forks, II. D. March s.
Eighty cents an hour, the carpen-
ters scale for the coming season in
the twin cities, Duluth and other
towns, has been adopted as the scale
for the local union Of carpenters and
joiners, il Grand Froks, according to
an annou :ement by j. E. kingsburv
recording aecretary. He also said
that from r a. m. to IL IN and from
l p. m. to 5 p. m. would constitute a
days work.
Attention has been called to the
fact that in 1921 the workers had a
contract for 90 cents an hour when
carpenters in Minneapolis, St. Paul,
Duluth and Bismarck were getting
81 an hour. In the spring of 1921 the
local contractors offered the same
scale as in the twin cities, Duluth
and other cities. This offer of 80
cents an hour was accepted.
Mr.. Kingsbury has announced that
in the future the local union expects
to maintain the same scale as the
twin cities and Duluth.

DECLARES THERE
IS TOO MUCH Hate

Minot independent Arthur c.
Townley, president of the national
nonpartisian league, delivered his first
public address in North Dakota in
several months. when he spoke be-
fore crowd of three OF four humid
red people in the hall at the rear of
the farmers store Monday night.
He declared that there has been
too much of hate in North Dakota
too much fighting between the classes
and he took his share of the blame
One could hardly realize that this is
the same Townley who few years
ago damned big Biz up one side
and down the other.
Townley said he came to Minot to
deliver his address as an experiment
to see how his balance of power"
plan would take with members of the
league.
One member Of the league stated
to an Independent representative the
following day that practically every
member of the league had been
against Townley's plan before the
meeting, but after they had listened
to his words of wisdom, they were
in hearty accord with him.
Il did not intend to make this pro-
posed balance of power plan an issue
in North Dakota. My idea was to
present it to the state convention, but
certain gentlemen have found it to
their advantage and judgment to mis-
represent the plan, and also my ur-
derstanding of it, and in self defense
L am compelled to come out here to
talk to you about it," he said.
His plan is for the league to alb
stain from nominating candidates for
office, and permit the league members
themselves to vote for whoever they
believe are best fitted for office. If
at the end of two years, the officers
have not carried out the league pro-
gram SO far as possible, then let the
league step in and nominate men
from their own membership and eject
them.
Townley suggested that the league
members keep on paying their dues
and by cutting down expenses, they
would have CROUCH money in a short
time to pay all the indebtedness.
Townley was aske;. many pointed
questions, He was asked if he Eat!

written by man frrom Chicago fish

letter was published by the Chicago,
Tribune as follows: "You must come
up this winter and go ice fishing with
me. You need bring no tackle. The
process you simply carry an axe and
9 can Of peas, The purpose of the
axe is to cut a hole in the ice and
with it also a cut club. After cut
ting a hole in the ice you sprinkle
peas around the edge Of the hole.
When a fish comes up to take pea
you hit him on the head with the
