lures of the Air.

1t was reported recently that in the
eyrie Of peregrine vicious bird, the
rings Of y racing pigeons were found.
The peregrine falcon often kills birds
which are unfortunate enough to cross
Its path. Peewits and other birds that
frequent the coast are relentlessly pur-
sued by this hawk, and another prey
Is the golden plover, but this bird az
fords the hawk good chase before II
Is caught.
The pefegrine catches its prey by
protruding its strong legs and talons
to their fullest extent when within q
few feet Of the quarry. Then for
moment Its wings are almost closed,
and the next the prize Is seized and
carried of. II. however. the object is
too heavy to be lifted from the ground
1t is forced along sometimes hundred
yards Oh the ground, and killed and
dcyoured on the spot. The nest Of the
peregrine is usually placed on the face
Of some precipitous cliff, resting on
shelf Of rock or tuft Of vegetation, and
consists Of mass Of sticks and coarse
stems Of grass and ferns.

After being locked up several
hours the jury in the case of the
State of Minnesota against Chas.
Sukkola and wife brought out a
verdict of not guilty last Friday
morning. This is the case where
the Sandstone marshall, VIM.
Percy, was badly used up and
shot in the leg. The verdict was
a big surprise as surely somebody
has pounded Mr.. Percy as there
is evidence enough to prove that,
and it looks like a case of much
preparation on the one side and
little on the other.
Travers of Hinckley, was found
guilty of selling moonshine and
was given IS days in Saltwater.
Many Of the moonshiners got

CHECKED


The Woman knew that in this city
it is possible to check almost any ar
ticle for any length Of time. The
other night as she went into the dim
ing room Of one Of the large hotels
she remarked to herself that the girl
in charge of the checkroom had a
nice face and looked agreeable and
so eager to please. But when she
passed the counter after dinner she
noted with surprise that the girl
looked worried. She had added re-
sponsibilities. Some mother had
found a new way out, for sound
asleep on the counter, wrapped in a
pink robe, slept Q small baby with
the check carefully pinned to its
blanket, and on the floor playing
with his new nurse was four-year-
old boy, also carefully checked

County Agent Idtse followed
with a report on the years work
in which he showed that
through savings on Picric Acid
alone. the farmers of the county
had been saved more than $1,000
above the entire cost of the
Farm Bureau both county, state
and national aid as well as the
Farm Bureau dues.
Mr.. Cunning who is county
agent at Webster, South Dakota,
was present and gave a short
talk on the conditions in that
state, giving some very interest
ing and valuable suggestions on
Farm Bureau work.
The question of Farm Bureau
publicity was brought up and
the State Federation plan of a
sectional paper was explained
and after considerable discussion
it was decided to adopt the state
paper provided enough counties
could be organized in this
district to support the paper.
Considerable time was spent
in discussing the collection
problem. 1t was brought out
that there were a large number
of members not paid due to the
fact that they were not sure of
the future of the Farm Bureau
of the county. 1t was the con-
sensus of opinion of the meeting
that the Farm Bureau must be
maintained in the county and
that every Farm Bureau Unit
should make special effort to see
that the dues were paid up in
the community as soon as pos
sible.
The question of Farm
Bureau picnic was brought up

s'Biood Money"

blood Money" was the name ap-
piled in the Middle ages and well into
the more modern period to the money
paid for bloodshed. 1t might be either
the compensation paid by II manslayer
to the nearest relatives Of the victim,
to secure himself and his kin frDm
vengeance, or the money paid as a
reward for bringing about the death
Of another, directly or through EVIL
dence. 1t was once common among
the Scandinavian and Teutonic peO-
Piles. who called this money payment
wergild. The price varied with the
nature Of the crime and the rank Of
the victim. Certain crimes. such as
the Staying Of a sleeping person, could
not be compensated by money pay
ment; such criminals were declared
outlaws and could be slain with i'm
punity. The term is now often applied
to the reward or bride paid for giving
up q criminal to justice.
