Finlayson Community
Is Visited By Thieves
VOght Home Ransacked While Family
Was In Church

Thieves visited the Finlayson COM
munity sometime Sunday morning
and entered the house of Mr.. and
Mrs. August Voght while the family
was in church with the exception OF
two of the boys who were left at
home but who had locked the house
and had gone to the Jake Petry home.
While there they report that three
men drove into the yard and inquired
of someone not known in that vi
entity. A trio of the same descrip-
ion stopped at the Herman Mack
home earlier Sunday morning and in
quired in the same manner. They
are suspected of the robbery and the
inquiries are thought to have been
their way of finding out if the resi-
dents were at home.
When the Voght boys returned
home and found that someone had
broken into the house, they imme-
diately went to town to notify their
parents and saw the same three men
whom are suspected, in front of the
garage but with different car. AL
though they drove away before their
identity could be proven, the license
number was taken.
After a check-up 1t was found that
a flashlight, a new mouth organ
some butter, box of cigars, a three
gallon can of cream, two gallons OF
cylinder oil and twenty-five gallons of
gasoline were taken in the raid. So
far the thieves have not been appre-
hended.

Under the auspices of the Danish
Council of the Chicago Worlds Fair
committee met last week to discuss
plans for the Danish exhibits con-
templated, and emphasis was laid on
the desirability of arranging these
exhibits with a special view toward
giving agricultural developments an
outstanding place. 1t was agreed that
the Danish section be characterized
especially by material which serves
to illustrate the tremendous effect OF
cooperative methods on modern Da-
nish agriculture. There will, of
course, be numerous other exhibits,
but cooperation and rationalized agri-
culture will be the most conspicuous
features.
Drowned.
Olaf Olsen of Brooklyn, N. Y,
drowned at Annandale Beach, L. l.,
last week while bathing, and it is said
by witnesses that he might have been
rescued if it had not been for the fact
that his cries and contortions in the
surf were considered mere prank.
This impression of the accident de-
layed rescue work, with the result
that all efforts at resuscitation proved
futile. Olsen was native of Norway
who for some years had lived in
Brooklyn.

Club Standings.

The star after the rating indicates
that the standing of these two teams
may be changed by the contest.
1t is reported that another game
will be played between Hinckley and
Groningen-Bass Lake to finish out
the postponed schedule of these two
teams. The winner of this game may
also change the result of the stand
ings of the teams.
BerOun May Contest.
The game played between Hinckley
and Beroun Sunday was protested by
the Beroun club. Beroun charges
that Hinckley used ineligible players
on their lineup, claiming that E. C..
Whiting and Scheeler we've outside
the ten-mile limit. Hearing on this
protest has been set for Thursday
night when the Board of Directors
will meet. AS Hinckley and Beroun
are both contenders for the second
test will have a significant bearing
on the outcome of the pennant race.
Askov raised itself notch in Sun
days game by outplaying the Will
low River visitors in every stage of
the game.
Bruno, with a badly disorganized
lineup went over to Sturgeon Lake
and took a trimming Sunday. Phil
Anderson hurled nice game for the
locals allowing only five scattered
hits. Bruno's only run came in the
seventh inning when Sotherton sent
out a grounder to Mac Anderson and
beat out the throw to first. He adj
vanced on a wild pitch and scored
when Klingbile sent a grounder to
Mac Anderson for a sacrifice hit.

Experiences such as are no part oil
most mems lives, have fallen to the
lot of ]. M Stephenson, an S4-year-
old gentleman who lives on his 10
acre farm 215 miles west of Duquette
Mr.. Stephenson also has 80 acres OF
land, mostly of the wild variety, lying
about a mile from the tract he lives
on.
Born at New Philadelphia, Ohio
December 10, 1914. Mr.. Stephenson as
a lad of about s years, accompanied
his mother to southeastern Iowa.
where they began farming. His
father had died about four years be-
fore.
At the age of 10 years, Mr.. Stephen
son enlisted in the Union army, Third
Iowa Inf, and served in number Of
battles. He was wounded in the right
hand in one of the engagements, and
to this day that hand is somewhat dis
figured, and at times he has some
trouble with pain in his shoulders.
Married i'm 1869.
He was married in 1869 in Iowa.
and had 10 children with his first
wife, all of whom are living Three
of his youngest sons live at Duluth
They are Henry, Wallace, and Carl
and all are married. James Stephen
son, Jr., is married and lives at Du-
quette. He has a family of nine chill
dren. Claude Stephenson, another
son, married, and lives with his fam
lily at Moose Lake.
The first Mrs. Stephenson died in
1895, in the northern part of Iowa.
Following that, the father took his
children to Walnut Grove, in Red
wood county, southern Minnesota
where he was employed as a carpen-
ter and contractor.
In 1904, Mr. Stephenson again mar
ried. His present wife's maiden name
was Amelia Warneka, and her home
also was in Redwood county. About
four months after their marriage,
they moved to Pine county, settling
near Duquette. They have two
daughters, Elsie, IL, and Etna, 10.
Built Own Home.
Despite his advanced years, Mr..
Stephenson proudly points to the fact
that in 1925-when he was 81 years
old-he built, practically alone, the
home in which he and his family
live. Mrs. Stephenson, however, help
ed her husband drive some of the
nails and acted, one might say, as
sort of straw boss" In any event,
she wouldn't stand for Mr.. Stephenson
climbing up on the roof, admonishing
him to leave that to someone little
younger than you"
The house is five room structure,
22x22 feet in size. There are four
nice rooms downstairs, and one large
one upstairs.
In Good Health.
In the best of health, Mr.. Stephen
son still does what most young fellows
term hard work" He goes out and
pitches hay in the field with the best
of them.
Incidentally, hair tonics and all
such, do not interest the old gentle
man in the least, for he has crop
of hair like most boys of 16, and, as
he says himself, "a lot to spare"
The Stephensons are planning a
little jubilee on October 18th, when
Mrs. Stephenson will observe her
birthday.

Although there appears to be no I'M
mediate danger In Montana OF game
fish being affected by disposal of sugar
beet pulp into the streams from the
factories. a solution has been found
that will assure protection OF the fish
In the future.
Fl. B. Foote, director OF the water and
sewage division OF the state board OF
health has Just returned from Colorado
and Utah where he was sent by the state
health board N state fish and game
commission to make an extensive study
of this problem which has become quite
vital in some states.
There seems to be little trouble In
Colorado from the disposal OF beet pulp
into the streams" said Mr.. Foote. 9TH
Colorado board OF health has had no in
timation that the fish are being dis
turbed by such dumpage. At the sugar
that the pulp is discharged below the
place of natural habitude Of the fish.
Complaints were heard OF in Utah
and some parts of Colorado. however,
that the discharge OF waste from the fac
tories was a nuisance, but these com
plants varied according to local condi-
tions. The most trouvble apparently
comes from the very unstable waste from
beet pulp and in one plant seen in Utah
this was eliminated by thorough drying
of the pulp before storage. This, accord
ing to officials of the plant is an eco
nomic procedure for them for they can
find a much wider market for dry pulp
than hat taken Immediately from the
plant.
This information should be of value
in Montana said Mr.. Foote. land may
solve the problem If complaints are ever
filed. The dry pulp practice is also fol-
lowed in some places in Colorado. AL
though the wet pulp can be readily sold
in the immediate locality of the plant,
it is not practical to ship it for any dis
lance due to the intense weight. With
the dry pulp it can be sacked and
shipped any distance, some from the
Utah plant going to eastern states and to
foreign countries"

WILL AID SECURING
BETTER LIVESTOCK
Hrom Montana state Collegel

FOLLOWING up the demonstration
and teachings of the better livestock
L special train operated in eastern
southern and western Montana last fall
by the Montana Extension service and
the Northern Pacific railroad, the Extern
sion service with the cooperation of the
agricultural committee of the Montana
Bankers association has launched an eff
fort intended to make 1t easy for farm
ers and stockmen to locate good breed
ing stock.
R. L. Waddell, livestock specialist for
the Extension service, has prepared a list
OF all purebred bulls for sale in the
state, and these lists are being distrib-
uted throughout the state by bankers
and county agricultural agents. The list
is the most complete breeding stock di-
rectory ever issued in Montana and is
intended to aid those who desire to i'm
prove their herds.
Mr.. Waddell also has prepared q PAM
phlet accomplishing some of the high
points of live stock improvement that
were brought out at the special train
pointing out the better prices paid for
the high quality stock and indicating
how the better stock may be obtained by
the use of good bulls.
In the pamphlet, a market quotation
AAA4 80 AAiL 1tN AAa10 AAhAi
at the Chicago market, choice steers
brought 10 to 1914 cents per pound;
good steers, 8 to 10 cents per pound; me-
dunn steers. ia to 0 cents per pound
and inferior steers brought anything be-
low the lowest figure that a buyer might
want to give. Attention also is called to
one of the demonstrations used on the
livestock train showing how a common
brlndle COW. bred to a pure bred bull OF
the right kind can produce a choice beet
steer calf in the third generation.
Recent experiments at the North Mon
tana experiment station indicate the
value of better bred stock, says Mr.. Wad-
dell. Two lots of calves were selected
for the experiments, a choice lot and one
made up of common stuff. 1t cost $9.2C
to put on 100 pounds of gain on the
choice cattle and SO 90 for the common
cattle. At the same time, the good calves
brought 50 per hundred more han the
common one The choice calves brought
a profit of 1888 per head while the other
lot resulted in a loss of 1857 per head
In an experiment at the University OF
Minnesota fat choice calves sold for SO. 1C
per hundred pounds on the st. Paul mar
ket While fat common calves, fed in
identically the same manner, brought
