The game preserve which will
eventually be established there will
not be open to hunting but it is
expected that within a few years
there will be enough of the birds
migrating to others sections of the
range for hunters to bag at the
regular intervals provided for by
law. 1t is a penitentiary offense to
harm any of the birds now being
placed on the new preserve. AS soon
as feasible, more turkeys and phea-

future to be placed in permanent

COMMISSION HOLDS
RAILWAY CONTROL
Commerce Body Claims Au.
thority to Regulate Trains
Carrying "Property."
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion yesterday held that it had full
authority to regulate the supply OF
trains for the transportation OF
property"
1t was the first case of it's kind
and the commission instituted it upon
its own motion.
The ruling held that the proposed
discontinuance of daily fixed train
service on the line of the Northern
Pacific Railway extending from
Beach, n. D., to Ollie, Mont, and
establishment of tri-weekly service
was not unjust or unlawful.
North Dakota, which interviewed,
contended its board of railroad COM
missioners had sole jurisdiction over
train service within the State. The
commerce commission ruled, however,
that the State relied principally upon
the language of debates in Congress
at the time the transportation act
was under consideration to show that
1t was the intention of Congress that
jurisdiction in such cases by the COM
mission was to be exercised only IN
times of emergency.
Referring to a decision in the case
of the Wisconsin Railroad Commits

western, which was cited. the COM
merce commission said it was not
applicable in this proceeding because
jurisdiction to regulate passenger
trains was then questioned. while
in the case at issue, the primary
service rendered by the Northern Pa
cific's 26mile branch line was the
transportation Of property. In the
Wisconsin case the commission held
1t had no jurisdiction.

SLEEPY EYE LAKE
GRADUALLY LOWERING

The lack of rain and the terrific
heat has brought the water level of
Sleepy Eye Lake to lower stage
than it has been for the past seventy
or seventy-five years. Mt more than
five years ago the shore line hordered
the driveway leading round the park;
now it has dropped to a point within
perhaps two blocks from, the park
and what was once pretty fair sized
body of water is now beginning to
look more like a puddle.
If present weather conditit ms con-
tinue it is anticipated that Sleepy Eye
Lake, which was once famous spot
among the Indian tribes, will be near
ly dry by autumn. The first white
settlers there learned from the Indians
that the lake went dry back in SO
at least that is the story told by some
of the old times in that section.
Then there came wet years and the
lake again filled to it's former size.

SAVE THE PHEASANT.

According to information publish
ed in the LEAK Walton League ma
gazine, there will be short open sea-
son on Chinese pheasants this fall
during which time the male birds may
be killed in limited numbers. We
are very much opposed to any such
opening this fall as we do not believe
that Yellow Medicine County should
let its hundreds of gunners kill
pheasants until we really have them
in appreciate numbers. Reports are
coming in that pheasants are thick
this year on account of the ideal hat
ching season. That is fine, but let
us get a bad Matching season and a
few open seasons and we'll miss our
pheasants. The nucleus for the
present pheasant flocks was twenty
eight young birds that were shipped
in from the state game farm four
years ago and liberated in the S. A.

Honey AS A Food

Because, magazine published at
Waterloo, Wis.,, and well known
among those interested in honey Gull
ture, recently offered a prize for the
best essay written upon the food
value of honey. Miss Marjorie
Scraggs of Putnam, ILL.,, wrote the
essay which won the prize. 1t is sent
for use in the Gazette by one of the
bee keepers of this vicinity.
Honey is natural sweet, partly
predigested, so that it can be easily
assimilated by the most delicate sto-
mach. 1t is natures own best food
mild laxative, and a health restorer.
81 like honey because it locks good
and when tasted, tastes better. Child
rem have an almost universal crav-
ing for sweets which may he satisfied
by this pure, inexpensive sweet. There
can be no doubt that in eating honey
our digestive organs are saved much
OF the work which they would have to
perform if We ate candy. Honey is
easily digested. It's value for furnish
ing energy without going through
prolonged digestive process has given
it a place in army rations. All doc
tors who have made study of honey
as compared with sugars and syrups,
strongly recommend its use. Former
ly honey was the principal sweet, and
it was one of the items sent ty Jacob
to his unrecognized son, the chief
ruler of Egypt, three thousand years
before the first sugar refinery was
built.
"Over eighty pounds of sugar on the
average, is annually consumed by
every man, woman and child in the
United States. In eating honey we
diminish the over-working Of the vi
tai digestive organs. Health is said
to be first of all things and for this
reason alone we should eat honey,
because it is healthful. Honey is
supplied from natures own labora-
tory, the hectares of the flowers.
Could anything come from cleaner,
purer source?"
