MAN ENDS OWN LIFE

Pine County Pioneer. Sept. 10.
On Sunday evening at about
$50 o'clock Frank A. PangerI, a
well known and respected farmer
living in the western part Of
Royalton township committed
suicide by shooting himself in the
head with 90 caliber rifle.
The only cause for this rash
act is thought to be domestic
trouble with some of the men,
bers Of his immediate family. He
lived alone in fine new home he
had recently erected on his farm
and by all appearances was in
comfortable circumstances.
He had resided in this com
munity for a number of years
and was always hard working
and industrious farmer. and his
demise will be felt by a number
Of neighbors and friends.

SEASON CLOSED ON
RINGNECK PHEASANT

Acting on the recommendation
of j. F. Gould, state game and
fish commissioner Governor j. A.
o. Preus has issued an order clos
ing the 1924 season 70 the shoot
ing of ringneck pheasants. This
action is based on a reconnais-
sance conducted by the Game and
Fish Department following the
receipt of petitions from sports
mems clubs and individuals in
virtually all sections Of the state,
asking that the species be given
additional protection this fall.
In some localities the ruffed
grouse or partridge sometimes is
referred TO as pheasant. That
native species, however, is dis
tinct from the imported ring
neck, and sportsmen should bear
in mind that no action has been
taken by the Game and Fish De-
partment nor by the Governor to
close the 1924 season for taking
partridge. which under the law.

the publicly announced plans Of
Senator Couzens for an inquiry
into the Treasury Department.
He proposed to devote the time
of his committee to a quizz Of Of
ficials in the Bureau Of Internal
Revenue and the prohibition unit.
Mr.. Couzens told the Senate that
he had reached the conclusion
that all was not well in these two
Federal organizations. The in
formation, from unrevealed
sources. he declared made it plain
that he owed it to himself and to
the country, to expose, if posi-

Indiana entered strenuous objec-
tions to the proposed inquiry but
finally consented. II was charged

Senator was sympathetic to the

SILO GOOD PLACE
FOR FROSTED CORN

With late corn almost certain
to be caught by frost while still
unripe, use of the silo offers a
means of saving the farmer huge
sums Of money in feeding values.
1t is highly important to save
the maximum from the present
crop, as official reports declare
the corn condition in this state
is only 81 per cent, while the to-
tai yield will not run over
1l8, 100000 bushels as compared
with 154,692,OOO in 1923. The
five year average for the state
was lbs. $4,000 bushels.
The probability of an unusual
ly large amount Of frosted corn
in at least the northern half of
the corn belt is indicated in a re-
cent report of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, which
states that an early frost will
play havoc with the corn crop.
1T is better to ensile the frost
ed corn than to put it TO any
other USE the report continues.
Soft frosted corn is an inferior
feed. In late seasons it is best

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER


Washington. Sept. 24.-Some-
how, there is always something
amusing in the spectacle of two
rich men quarreling. The aver
age citizen lacking in a vast ac-
emulation of worldly wealth,
finds some consolation in the
Biblical proverb that riches pro-
fit not in the days of wrath"
Such is the reception given gen.
orally to the renewal of the
Couzens-Mellon feud in Washing
ton. Being eminently successful
in establishing their mark in
Bradstreet's catalogue of Whose
Who and How Much, the Sena-
tor from Michigan and the dis
tinguished Secretary of the
Treasury are obviously woefully
short on the fine points of be-
havior during a political year.
They have, in brief. gathered
much in the marts of trade but
failed to adapt their experiences
to their political environment.
Hence, the smiles and chatting
as Mr.. Couzens proceeds to inves-
tigate the administration of Mr..
Mellon.
For a time it appeared that i'll
ness and primary elections would
provide an effective blockade of

THE BETTER CATCH

An Idaho man was fishing in
Lake Crescent recently. He
caught big northern pike; the
biggest he had ever landed in his
long and busy life. He was
elated. He was crazed with joy,

I've got one; weighs seven
pounds and it is a beauty"

he got: so have /; weighs
