What Have
Manure Spreaders Done
For Your Neighbors?
E time you see the
dealer, get him to
give you the history of
some of the I manure
spreaders he has sold. Then
et the story of other spreaders
and draw your own conclusions
as to which spreader does the
best work at the lowest cost.
Durability pays. The spread
er that does the best work for
the longest time is the cheapest
to buy. The more you find out
about spreaders, the more cer
tain you will be to got the
local dealer and buy an
IH Manure Spreader
Kemp 20th Century
Corn King or
Cloverleaf
The best spreaders made are
the IHCmanure spreaders your
local dealer sells, and if you
give him a chance he will soon
convince you of that fact and
give you good common-sense
reasons for buying an I
spreader from him.

good broad sidewalk up First street
from Main street to the depot, and if
it cannot be built any other way letnatural
the village build it, but a sidewalk to

shall have.
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.

It and Signed Name.
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.

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. May 11 is the fifty
fourth anniversary of the admission
of the state into the union. The day's
program includes a social hour,
dinner in the G. A. R. dining hall,
literary and musical features and angr
hour for reminiscent talks.
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. Prizes will be awarded in
each district monthly and the butter
maker holding the highest average for
the six competitions will receive a
gold watch. 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.

Troubadours Defeated.
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.
