Many friends in this city were shocked
when they read the news in the daily
press of Sunday of the death of Mrs.
F. P Price, who in trying to save her
poodle dog from falling over the cliff,
fell over the embankment herself and
sustained injuries from the effects of
which she died short time after
wards. Mrs. Price was before her mar
riage, Miss Mae Fridley and fifteen
years ago was a teacher in the Ely
schools. She also taught at Eveleth
and at Minneapolis up to the time of
her marriage eight years ago.
A marriage license was issued Fri
day to Francis j. Steffanus and Miss
Lillian LeBeau. Art Toms, Art
Gibbs, L. Walsh and Harry Dalton re-
turned Monday from the Stoney River
country with 100 pound moose. While
on the road down deer was sighted
and shot by Mr.. Toms The deer was
dressed and loaded onto the truck in
less than Is minutes. The big
game season came to a close Monday
and it is claimed was the most dis
astrous for deer and moose ever ex-
perienced here. Many men out of work
took to the woods to replenish their
meat supply for the winter. Up to
date there were brought into Winton,
43 deer and moose. No figures on
Ely hunters have been obtained.

by the defense that the defendant was
not intoxicated
The case followed an accident last

cupants of the Swanson car were SER

Hostilities date back a little farther
than this. Late last winter, under Ath-

college knocked the Tigers from the
basketball title picture with a senSa-
tional 1895 upset. If it hadn't been
for this defeat, Eveleth would have won
the conference championship. They re-
membered that well when it came
time for the football game this fall, with
the situation just reversed. The Tigers

Banks eleven, but they added additional
fuel to the fires of competition which
are expected to burn brightly on the

Is it harmful to burn constaIks and
trash in a field before it is plowed or
disked?
In general, it is wise to return to
the soil as much of the organic matter
as possible. Dead, dry cornstalks are
not particularly valuable for this, how
ever, for they contain little nitrogen
and much of the phosphate and potash
will already have leached into the soil.
Burning causes loss of the inert Or
ganic matter and what little nitrogen
may be present. The phosphate and
potash would remain in the ashes. If
the soil is subject to wind erosion, such
damage could be minin1ized by breaking
down and disking the cornstalks. If the
corn is to be followed by wheat or
barley, burning the stalks may help
somewhat in controlling diseases. Your
local farm situation must determine
which policy is the better.-George H
Nelson, extension soils specialist.
Can catsup be thickened?
Catsup is thickened by boiling down
the pulp to evaporate the water. If
the tomatoes are too juicy, some of the
juice may be drained off before the
rest Of the juice is seasoned. The juice
which has been drained off can then
be used as straight tomato juice.-Ina
B. Rowe, extension nutritionist.
How does alfalfa silage compare with
alfalfa pasture for pigs?
There is no experimental data on
this subject, but due to the high fiber
content of the alfalfa silage, I fear that
it would not be very palatable, and pigs
might not eat it readily after receiving
full feed of grain. Alfalfa hay is so
satisfactory for feeding to both growing
pigs and brood soWs that it probably
will continue to be used instead OF
silage. We hope to secure more specific
information on this subject in feeding
trials this winter-E. F. Ferrin, animal
husbandry division.
Is it safe to leave canned food where
it might freeze in winter?
1t is better not to let it freeze, but
freezing does not cause canned food to
spoil unless it breaks the seal and lets
organisms get into the can. Sometimes
freezing may bulge tin cans and spread
the seams enough to permit bacteria
to enter. They should be used as soon
as possible if they are not kept frozen
