The shooting occurred at 1880
last night. The body was brought
by the patrolmen to this city where
Virlulla's aged parents reside. Vir-
l11la operated confectionery store
at Big Falls.
Virkula was on his way to his
home when he was ordered to stop
bv the patrolmen two miles south
of little Fork. Police here said
there was no evidence of liquor ir
Virk11la's automobile. Two empty
bottles were found but these haC

The shooting was done with saw

President Hoover has ordered the
sawed-off shotguns taken away
from the border patrolmen as the
result of the nationwide protest
over the recent murders by these
irresponsible officers, and has or
dered patrolmen to do no more
shooting except in self defense.
The shooting of Virkula in nor
then Minnesota, coming after sew
eral other similar killings in the
past month has aroused the nation
from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and there has been many fiery de-
bates in the Senate in reference
to the enforcemnt of prohibition.
Copeland Protests

man approve the action of govern
ment officials who beset innocent
citizens and strike them down in
cold blood?" Copeland asked. CIV

government has placed upon him
the responsibility of observing as

Copeland said if an agent was
placed every 10 feet on the Cana
dian border, liquor would come il
through some sort of conspirac!
sooner or later.

FLAXVILLE LAD
KIDNAPPED BY3
MEN SATURDAY
Ronald Butcher Abducted During
Night By Men Who Ask Lads
Father for Gas Supply.

Scobey.-Ronald Butcher, 8 years,
was kidnapped from the home of
his father, a farmer 8 miles east
of Scobey, Saturday evening about
9 o'clock by two men who called
at the Bucher home and asked for
gasoline.
Ed Bucher, the father, got out
of bed to accommodate the strang-
er who said he was on his way to
a dance at Scobey. He offered him
a gallon of gas in a can, but the
stranger asked for more and said
he would pay well for it. Bucher
went out to drain more from his
car and when he got out from I'M
der the car another stranger came
up, nodded to the first and walked
away. The one who had asked for
the gas gave Butcher a dollar and
left.
On returning to the house bucher
noticed that the door had been left
open. Going into the bedroom he
found the bed in a disheveled con-
dition and his boy missing. He
searched the house and then motto
ed the can of gasoline he had sold
near where he had given it to the
stranger. Butcher drove to Flax
vile and called Sheriff Nelson Of
Scobey on the telephone to inform
him of the kidnapping.
Bucher was divorced from hi
wife in May 1923, and the Daniels
county court awarded custody o.
the child to the woman who went II
Wisconsin and later married a mai
named Cummings. In 1925, Buch

torney while she left with the chill
for Minnesota. The court, holdin
that Mrs. Butcher was not fit an
proper person to raise the boy

lasted almost two years.
Locating the boy at a school l
Minnesota where he was registere
as Ronald Cummings, Butcher an
his brother took him by force frol

VALUABLE
WEEDS

Many American farmers, lack
ing knowledge of botany. may
be destroying valuable crops when
they think they are killing weeds.
Such is the point brought out
by an article in the Farm Jour-
nal which tells of a farmer in
southern Indiana who had been
troubled for years by persistent
weedy growth on a low and wet
part OF his fields. Finally he found
that the weeds were the plant
from which calamous. root, val
liable drug ingredient, comes. The
patch was plowed and the roots
dried and stripped, brought high
price.
Many such plants, with medici-
nal or chemical values, are grow
ing wild and unnoticed in various
American regions. or IL noticed it
is only when they become trouble
some as weeds. Among them are
boneset. tansy, hoarhound, j!mson,
pakeroot and many others. Usually
the growth is not heavy enough
or is not of quality high enough
to be commercially valuable, but
in many cases the farmer cautious
enough to submit a sample for ex-
pert analysis has found he was
unwittingly possessed of worth
while crop.

and even swimming will not en-.

can be coaxed back by dampen-
ing the hair and setting 1t with
combs. Always remember. in
setting your own hair, to comb
the hair in the direction in which
you wish the wave to slant, just
before putting in the combs. In
general. the waves alternate, one
slanting toward the front, the
next toward the back.
Brushing the hair Is good for
it. but is not as important as it
was thought to be In former days.
Scalp massage is of great i'm

the back of the neck is equally
important, for 1t stimulates the
