LASATER'S RANCH
HOUSE BURNS
Building a Total Lose. F. McNulty
Who Resides on Farm Loses all
Household Effects.

Wednesday about noon the farm
house on the Lasater ranch on the Big
Muddy flats on the south side OF
Plentywood adjoining the city, burned
to the ground. The building was COM
pletely destroyed and C. F. McNulty
who resides on the farm, renting the
same and running a diary, lost all OF
his household effects.
The fire alarm sounded Wednesday
about noon and shortly the Plenty
wood Firemen were on their way to
the south side but when they arrived
at the city limits they found that the
fire was at the ranch and away from
the water so the machinery turned
back but the fremen went out to the
fire but were too late to render any
assistance.
The alarm was sounded by the cur
few bell as the siren was plugged and
would not sound-a little bird had
taken up her home in the whistle and
built herself a nest in it which put the
whistle cut of business for the instant.
The house caught fire from a burn
ing chimney.

AND
OUR WEATHER
By PROF. G. R. PETITE
CatastrOphies of the Heavens

CaCaStrOphlSS or the dSdNOnS
AS we gaze at the heavens and
view the same stars composing the
consultations that the shepherds did
six thousand years ago we formerly
believed them stationary and perman-
ent, eternally there in the ehavens,
hence the name "fxed stars" But
modern science has demonstrated that
they are all moving some in circles
and some at tremendous velocities
thru space, but being at such great
distances this is not apparent to the
naked eye.
Not only are they moving, but they
are seen in all stages of their life, as
existence, some young or new, some
in their prime, some old, nearly ready
to cease giving their light, and roll
thru space a darkened mass, or burst
into fragments and fall to destruction.
We have every evidence of a catas-
trophe of some kind in our own little
system: as for many years astronom-
ers had figured that according to
BODIES law there should be another
planet between Mars and Jupiter, so
they were continually searching for
years for this missing planet.
Their labors were finally rewarded
by the discovery of four small planets
ranging from 100 to 400 miles in di-
ameter, these were named Juno, Vista,
Ceres, and Palas. Since then there
has been listed about $50 fragments
known only by their numbers.
The cause of this bursted or dis
rupted world is only conjecture. but
this, and the disappearing light of
other stars, and the flying comets,
which may be the near end of a fallen
star, teaches us all things are finite.
At this writing we are in the storm
period but not quite to the central
day there is SIGNS Of some precipita-
ton but not strong for this region
there is, one more this month the last
of the month but not strong but the
one central the 7th of June is much
stronger and we look for good showers
at that time.

whole-hearted united labors, the con-
ference business came to a close and

vice the Conference was called to or
der by Bishop i. H. Seager, d. D.,
and the appointments were read. In
/ these appointments we notice a change
of Pastor for Plentywood. Rev. M. O.
Siewert was stationed to fill the va
cancy of 3. D. Fridley, who goes to
Rapelje, Montana.
We wish to congratulate the people
of this vicinity for the kind provi-
dence to grant so noble a servant of
God to this field Rev NJ. o. Siewert
comes to us from Fallon, Montana,
where he has served three years, and
given that service that only true
servant of God can give.
/ As we step down and give way to
our Brother, we can heartily wish him
| Gods richest blessings and success
on his new field.

AGE 7
NOT ES
FORAGE CROPS

There are many kinds of annual for
age crops that can be grown with sue
cess in this county in addition to corn
and sunflowers. The grain hays: oats,
a good forage crop. Oats are very
popular. The same varieties of oats
barley, wheat and rye will produce
seeded for grain are used for hay.
Seeding should be done by June 10th
if possible, and between 1 1-2 to
bushels planted per acre. 1t is best
to cut it in the soft dough stage, al
though for horses it may be left until
the tips of the heads turn yellow.
Hulless barley has produced we'll in
comparison with oats. A mixture of
barley and oats adds variety to the
ration. Barley is a rapid grower and
an effective weed fighter, especially
wild oats. About 1 1-2 bushels is
seeded to the acre.
Wheat is used to some extent as a
forage. crop. 1t does not as rule
yield as much as oats and barley.
About 1 IA to 1 1-2 bushels is planted
to the acre. Wheat hay is very pop
ular in the coast markets.
Winter and spring rye are not as
palatable as the other cereal hays.
But the earliness and ability to pro-
duce a crop on poor land makes rye
an important forage crop About 1
IA bushels is scSded to the acre.
The millets are used a great deal
as a forage crop. The Siberian millet
especially the Kursh Strain is consid-
cred well adapted to dry land condi-
tions. Shallow seeding 1 to 1 1-2
inches at the rate of Is TO 20 pounds
per acre between June Is to July Is
is recommended for general adoption.
About Is pounds is seeded to the acre
when drilled in. When seeding in rows
Is inches apart 5 pounds of seed is
used to the acre.
The sorghums are also used. The
Dakota or early Amber is the best
adapted for our conditions.
Soy Beans are used some with corn
for hOgging off.
To solve the forage problem is very
necessary and makes one feel more
secure when winter comes.

WOMEN HURL BABIES TO SAFETY
AS BLAZE N1PRISONS AUDIENCE

Camden, S. c., May 19.-Bathed in
the glory Of a setting South Carolina
sun, 90 bodies were placed late Friday
in one big grave in Beulah Methodist
church yard. Three thousand South
Carolinians, led by Governor Thomas
G. Mcleod, gathered from all parts of
the state to pay last tribute to those
who persisted when the Cleveland
school house was burned Thursday
night stood with barred heads through
out the brief, simple funeral services.
The bodies were those out Of at
least 70 dead which could not be iden-
titled. They were buried within a few
hundred yards of the spot where
they had gathered for the commence
ment exercises of the community
school An oil lamp which fell from
its hanger on the ceiling over the
auditorium stage turned the little
country school into a funeral pyre.
NATION MOURNS
Messages of coincidence and offers
Of assistance poured in Friday from
all parts Of the state and nation. Most
of them. were addressed to Mayor
Garrison of Camden and to all he re-
turned one answer: eve appreciate
your sympathy. No help needed"
The fire, according to eye witnesses,
started when hanging lamp over the
stage fell and bursted, blazing oil
reaching fiimsy draperies and quickly
spreading. The audience, numbering
about 300, mostly children, became
panic stricken. Men in the crowd at
tempted to quiet those who became
frightened, but a rush was made for
the only stairway that led to the
ground floor. A jam resulted. the
stairway collapsed and scores were
hurled into closet under the stairs.
Soon the splintered stairway caught
fire. Those not killed by the fall per-
ished in the flames.
DOZENS RESCUED
Meantime, men and bows who had
escaped by leaping over the ratings
or through windows, endeavored to
eXtricate those trapped. Dozens were
pulled to safety. Others Ieaped from
windows, sustaining fractured bones
and bruises. Mothers, trapped on the
second floor, in some instances, hurled
their children through windows.
With the light of the burning build
ing to guide them, men outside the
structure did their best to break the
fall of those who jumped. Some of
the mothers gave their lives that their
children might live, for it was re-
ported that in several instances little
ones were tossed to safety just as the
floor sank with the mothers.
Four of the cast of eight in the
playlet, a comedy, were among the
dead. All the players were members
of the graduating class.
