How to Get Rid of It. The annual reappearance of the pestiferous cutworm, the enemy of gardeners and farmers, will take place about May 15, according to Professor F. L. Washburn, state en tomologist, who, in the May issue of Minnesota Insect Life, published a few days ago, tells how to rid the soil of the pest. Examination of the soil by Profes sor Washburn revealed the presence of about as many cutworms as last year, which was considered a banner year for the pests. Before planting the soil should be carefully examined, says the bulletin, and if any area found, paper collars, extending three inches into the ground and two inches above, should be placed around each plant. If the soil is free from the worms, a shingle fence around each garden patch will keep out the init sects. Bran mash mixed with paris green and cheap molasses until the mixture is decidedly green in color, and scattering it about the garden, also is recommended by Mr. Wash burn. Newly turned sod is full of cutworms and the only safe method to rid the soil of the insects is to plow the sod in the fall and let the elements kill the worms. Flax crop on newly broken ground will drive away the worms.

PREVIOUS RULINGS UPSET. New York Court of Appeals Unani mously Upholds Document Which Left Gum Manufacturer's Estate to Society For Psychical Research. Judge Vann's Comment. Judge Vann remarked that the posi tion of the lower courts was supported to some extent by previous court of appeals decisions, "for we have gone far to protect testators from the dan ger of imposition and fraud through unauthorized additions and changes in their wills." The court says that such danger does not exist in the present case because the will is holographic and no sheet could be changed without the co-operation of the testator. The court does not believe a search of the decisions will show even three cases of fraudulent additions to wills, "and must be conceded that as to this sup posed danger the remedy has proved in practice far worse than the disease The court concludes that the evil of fraudulent changes wills is rare, "while the evil of defeating wills al together in the manner suggested is common hence we think we have gone far enough in the direction of rigid constructioh, lest in the effort to pre vent wrong we do more harm than good." COST OF PRIMARY ELECTION. $850,000 Spent to Get Out One-third of the Votes In Wisconsin. The fact that it cost $850,000 to get DUt one-third of the votes in the state Df Wisconsin at the primary election at which Senator Isaac Stephenson pre vailed over his opponents was brought out in the course of the debate on the Stephenson case in the senate. Senator Overman inquired why such a stupendous expenditure was neces sary. "If it takes that sum to bring out one-third of the voters in Wiscon sin, it seems to me the primary plan Is Tather discouraging," said Mr. Over man. "This occurred, too, in a state that is continually held up before us as an example of all the modern re forms." (FUNDS FOR FETE I N 2012. Bowdoinham, Me., Prepares to Cele brate Anniversary of Incorporation. To be prepared to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of the town, which will take place in 2012, a committee of Bowdoinham (Me) citizens, already is engaged in collecting funds. The money will be placed at interest In various savings institution* and left nndistu^bed for 100 vparss THE PBIKCETQy TJOTOMV THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1912. A decision which lawyers say is one Df the most important in a will case in years has been handed down by the New York court of appeals, which re verses the surrogate in Brooklyn and the appellate division and admits to probate the will of Warren B. Field, a Brooklyn chewing gum manufacturer, who died in 1910, leaving an estate ex ceeding $10,000 to the American So ciety For Psychical Research. Probate had been refused to the will in the lower courts on the ground that the testator had not signed his name "at the end thereof," as required by law Mr. Field drew the will himself and wrote it in longhand He had obmissioner, tained the printed form for a will, had filled in the top, and in the blank space for the provisions of the will he wrote: "I direct that my estate be settled as per the provisions of the pages here to attached and numbered from 1 to 6, inclusive, and this is to stand un challenged and unchanged in any form provided I decease before a will is drawn by my attorney." Lower Court's Decision. Upon the blank space the testator pinned six sheets of paper numbered consecutively, the first of which be gan as follows: "Jan. 10, 1910. Provisions which I desire made in my will and which, should I pass away before will is drawn, that I desire executed exactly as though drawn in an ironclad legal form." The bottom of the printed form was filled out legally and correctly, but the lower courts decided that the printed form must be regarded as the "first page" of the will, and as the testator's name was signed at the bottom of it it was impossible to hold that the name had been signed at the "end" of the will. Judge Vann, who wrote the unani mous opinion of the court of appeals, said that when read the way the lower courts would read it the "instrument does not read naturally and consecu tively and does not make sense The order of reading the paper is subverted and in artificial order substi tuted not to aid but to overturn the obvious intention." Following the ar gument advanced by counsel for the American Society For Psychical Re search, in his brief Judge Vann re marked that the natural order of read ing such a will is to read it just as a card calendar would be read "Who would read it any other way unless he wished to destroy it as a will?" asked the court. State News. Marcus C. Cutter, until recently purchasing agent for the state board of control, is now the owner of the Thief River Falls News, having pur chased the same from Mrs. John W. Eastman. Mr. Cutter is a live wire and a practical newspaper man and Thief River Falls is a live town, hence it is expected that be will get out a readable paper. Next Saturday, at the old capitol, St. Paul, the Minnesota Territorial Pioneers' association will hold its annual meeting.

The Elk River Milling company, valued at over $50,000, was sold to the Lawrence National bank of Lawrence, Mass., for $40,000at a pub lic sale last Saturday. The mill was sold to satisfy a mortgage held by the bank for $43,866. It is understood the business will be continued as before and that the situation will be satis factorily worked out in a few weeks. Entries for the first monthly butter contest have been called for by Joel C. Winkjer, state dairy and food com and must reach St. Paul not later than May 17. Five other contests will be arranged about a month apart. The state will be divided into six districts, counties with similar conditions being grouped together.

For the highest score in the state a grand championship prize will be awarded. The mayoralty situation changed again at Fergus Falls on Saturday when the supreme court held that crosses placed in the blank square be low a candidate's name should not be counted for anyone. Nelson and W. H. McBride tied at the city election a month ago, and the council cast lots and McBride won. Nelson ap pealed to the district court, and that court held that certain ballots with the cross opposite the^blank square below McBride's name should be counted for him. This gave him a clear ma jority. He has now served a month, has appointed his police force, and council committees. Nelson will dis charge the entire police force and put in new men. McBride is a no-license man and Nelson is a license man.

The Princeton Troubadours and the Zimmerman Huskies clashed at the fair grounds last Sunday and Zim merman grabbed the long end of an 18 to 15 score, after nine innings of terrific batting by both teams. The first inning resulted in a blank for both sides and Zimmerman also failed to score in the second round. Prince ton gathered in one score the second inning and two more in the third. The fourth round opened with the score 3 to 0 in favor of the Trouba dours and Princeton's prospects looked bright, but Zimmerman was out to win and started a batting rally of no small proportions, scoring eight runs in the one inning. This gave them a good lead, which they held to the end. Princeton put in a strong bid for the game in their half of the eighth when, by some timely hitting, aided by errors, they pushed six runs over, but the Huskies from Sherburne county had too much of a lead for them to Overcome. Stay and Angst man were in the points for the Troubadours and performed in a creditable manner. Jess Angstman handled the indi cator in a manner that was entirely satisfactory to both sides. A fair sized crowd was in atten dance and thoroughly enjoyed the game, it being an interesting exhibi tion from start to finish. Imported Percheron Stallion for Service.
