The complete history Of Richard

chard Croker himself claimed rcla-
tlonsh!p to Henry Croker, major gen
eral Of the British army, and TO John
OIIon Croker, formerly NJ P from
Cork. The fact that his father bore
the given name OF Eyre Coote gives
Qlausibility to this claim. The elder
Croker was, however, man OF hurN BE
statlon, being local blacksmith, and
n l649 he came to New York in the
steerage of the packet Henry Clay,
bringing with him his wife and seven
children. The family settled in ram

Good HUNTING
GROUND IN THE
Lake REGION

County Auditor Kramer advises The
World that large number of hunt
ing licenses have already been sold
at his office, but that there are plen-
ty left for everyone who wants to
hunt on the first day of the opening
season which takes place on Septemb-
er 16, providing the force in the audi
tors office is given time to write
them. The proper thing for Ramsey
county nimrods to do is to get such
permits at once, as there is usually
such rush during the last day or two
that it may happen that all licenses
cannot be written in time to deliver
them before the season starts. To be
sure of getting permit it is advisable
to get one now.
The lakes and sloughs in all parts
of the Lake Region appear to be alive
with ducks and chickens grouse seem
to have doubled in numbers during
the past few years since the use Of a
bird dog has been prohibited. No mat
ter what person wants to hunt he
will find plenty Of game to shoot at
and should have no difficulty in get
ting the limit allowed by law within
a very short time. No reports of
"soners" have yet been received, but
local authorities report that violators
of some laws will be given the limit if
apprehended.
Hunting licenses this year cost
$1.50 for residents and $25.OO for non
residents. They are issued only at
the county auditors office, but ap-
plication blanks may be secured from
most Of the banks and hardware stores
in the county and may be mailed to
the auditors office here where the
permit will be issued and mailed
direct to the applicant.
Following are the hunting laws of
the state in brief, as found on the
back of the regular license.
No Spring Shooting Allowed
No Hunting With Bird Dogs
Open Season
Partridge or Ruffled Grouse may
be hunted in Bottineau, Cavalier,
Pembina and Rolette counties from
October 1st to October 10th, includ-
ing both dates.
Prairie chicken, grouse, snipe, plov-
er, Sept. 18th to Oct. 18th.
Ducks, geese, brant, Sept. 10th to
Dec. End.
Closed Season
Quail and pheasants are protected
at all times.
Antelope permanently protected.
Beaver, otter and muskrat until
1924.
Bag Limit
Prairie chicken, grouse, turtle dove,
plover, or combination birds per
day.
Ducks, wookcock, or combination
Is birds per day.
Geese 8 birds per day.

DIRT IN WHEAT CALLS
FOR $4,000 MORE CARS
Cleaning Promises Vast Trans
portation Economy, Says Depart
ment of Agriculture Expert.

Shipment of clean wheat to markets
by farmers and country elevators would
go to great way toward reducing car
shortages and effect large savings in
the cost of transportation of the grain,
Robert H. Black, in charge of the De-
partment of Agriculture's grain clean
ing Investigations. said today.
During the 192O-21 crop year dockage
or foreign material in wheat shipped to
market was so great, he declared, that
more than $4,000 more freight cars were
required to haul it to market than would
have been necessary had clean wheat
been shipped. Minnesota grain inspec-
ton records show that last October
Minneapolis received 1882 cars of
spring wheat containing an average of
Az per cent dockage. or the equivalent
of $50 cars capacity.
An educational campaign is being
conducted among spring wheat growers
looking toward the cleaning of wheat
on the farms to reduce this economic
loss.

The Puzzled Hunters.
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Your disappointment, it is plain.
May prove to be another's gain.

To this day the hunters who had
caught Uunc' Billy Possum and then
lost him haven't the least idea what
became of him. You know they had
supposed he was dead, when all the
time he wasn't dead at all and had
stolen away the moment their backs
were turned. He had been tossed on
an old stump while they gave their
attention to Bobby Coon. and when
they missed him they were the most
puzzled hunters that ever hunted in
the Green Forest. 1t was some time
before they gave up trying to find
him. You see, they had counted on
possum dinner.
He certainly was dead" declared
the hunter who had carried Unc'
Billy by the tail and who had tossed
him on the stump. And a dead pos
sum certainly couldn't run away. 1t
must be that a big owl saw him
know. an owl makes no sound with
his wings"
The other hunters agreed that this
must be the case. 1t was the only
way in which they could account for
Unc' Billy's strange disappearance.

So they once more turned their at

him from time to time. At. last the

WORCESTER. Mass. December 23.-
Maurice W. Somborn. once an inter-
national figure in Germany's wide
spread anti-American propaganda, is
an inmate of the Summer street de-
partment of the Worcester State
Hospital. Somborn figured prominent
ly in the expose by Ambassador
Gerard in his book. my Four Years
in Germany" it being detailed by the
ambassador that Somborn made a
practice of going from place to place
attacking President Wilson and the
United States.
Somborn. according to brain spe-
cialists. is subject to delusions of his
own importance and believes he is
being prosecuted by all with whom
he comes In contact. He was first
committed to the Northampton State
Hospital from Pittsfield and was
among the patients transferred to
Worcester.
Somborn returned to the United
States prior to the entrance of the
United States into the war. He was
granted his passports from Germany
after offering apologies to Ambas-
sador Gerard and dropped from sight
until his commitment.
