FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1919.
OMAHA MAYOR
NEARU HANGED
Twice Brawn From Ground by
Angry Mob'but Is Rescued
by Police.
GITY HELD IN TERROR
Rioters Set Fire to Courthouse, Take
Negro From Sheriff After Long
Seige and Lynch Him—
Troops Are Called.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 30.—Omaha
Is quiet with 800 troops from Forts
O a a a n o o k N e a n
Camp Dodge, la., on riot duty,
augmented by several hundred
special officers organized by the
American Legion to help preserve
order. Officials were confident
there would be no further out
break of the race rioting. The
recovery of Mayor Ed P. Smith is
assured.
Omaha, Sept. 29.—A lynching -which
developed many characteristics of a
race riot held this city terrorized for
nine hours.
Mayor Edward P. Smith was saved
from lynching by a policeman who, it
is reported, cut the rope from about
the mayor's neck while his comrades
clubbed off the mob.
The riot centesied about the magnifi
cent courthouse building, which was
set on Are by the mob, in its efforts to
reach William Brown, a negro charged
,with criminal assault on Agnes Lo
beck, a white girl, a few days ago.
Sheriff Battles for Hours.
With the flames mounting steadily
from floor to floor, Sheriff Mike Clark
and his deputies fought a grim battle
of hours to save Brown from those
who clamoVed for his life, but with
the cries of the 100 or more prisoners
on the ton floor—the jail floor—ring
ing in his ears, he was compelled to
surrender the prisoner.
The negro was hustled to an elec
tric light pole and hanged.
Mayor Smith is in a critical condi
tion at a local hospital. His physician
declines to say just how seriously he
is injured. A rope was thrown around
his neck and he was pulled off the
ground twice before two police officers
succeeded in cutting the rope and get
ting him into an automobile and away
from the mob.
Pleads for Law and Order.
The mayor had gone to the court
bouse and held a consultation with
Sheriff \31ark. Emerging from the
courthouse he met the mob and began
to make an appeal for law and order.
Somebody shouted, "Lynch him,"
and a member of the mob threw a
rope around his neck.
Half a dozen men dragged the
mayor half a block and threw the
loose end of the rope over a trolley
pole. T.wice they drew the mayor's
body from the ground. Each time
two police officers cut the rope. Fol
lowing the second attempt these offi
cers succeeded in getting the mayor
into a police motor car and rushed
him to a surgeon's office nearby. The
mayor Was bleeding from his mouth
and nose and lifter a brief examination
by physicians, was taken to a hospital
At the hospital it was stated by the
physician that he was still uncon
scions.

Pittsburgh, Sept. 29.—With both

FARM NEWS
GRASSHOPPERS FOR NEXT YEAR
Dogden.N. D. Oct. 3, 1919
What about the grasshoppers for
next year and is there anything we
can do at this time to prevent an out
break for next year?
ANSWER: In reply to the first
part of your question will say that
some farmers report that grasshopper
eggs are being laid by the thousands,
while others report that many eggs are
not being laid.
Next month I plan to make a sur
vey of the county to find out to what
extent grasshopper eggs are being
laid. I want to delay this survey until
we are sure that there will be no more
eggs laid this fall, in order that we
may have full information on this
question.
In reply to the last part of the ques
tion will say that the only thing we
can do at this time of the year is to
I plow or disc well. Fall plowing, and
good discing where ever possible this
fall, will help to prevent a grasshop
per outbreak next year.
The grasshoppers lay their eggs
from one to one and one-half inches
deep in hard ground. Therefore, if we
plow reasonably deep the eggs will

probably be turned under so deep that
the young grasshoppers will never get
through. Good discing will of course
break up many of the egg cases, bat
plowing will ,give better results.
Where the soil is in such shape that
it can be plowed, plowing is one of the
best ways of destroying next years
crop of grasshoppers. Where plow
ing is not possible discing will be the
next best.
Better talk this mater over with
your neighbor also as it is almost
as necessary that he plows, in order
that there may be as few grasshoppers
as possible in your locality next
spring.

County Agricultural Agent.
HOME BUDGET THE
WAY TO WEALTH
The United States treasury in urg
ing thrift suggests to the family the
following seven steps toward saving,
as summarized by Miss Mildred Weig
ley, chief of the home economics at
University Farm.
1. Know your needs. What must
your money buy?
2. Couiit their cost. If you keep
accounts, even simple ones, this will
lie easier.
3. Study your spending.. Figure
roughly what you have been spending

FEED MONTANA SHEEP IN N. D.
A good many of the sheep marketed
in Montana should be fed and finished
for the market in North Dakota. Mr.
.T. W. Haw. of the North Dakota Agri
cultural College states that North Da-
kota is strategically located for doing
:his as it has the feeds for finishing
flie Montana sheep for market and is
located between Montana and the
great livestock markets. He states
that at present large numbers of these
Montana sheep are sent to big sheep

North Dakota screenings. He asks

WHERE AND HOW TO BUY
SHEEP IN MONTANA
As a rule a larger and more thrifty
and vigorous class of sheep can be ob
tained In Western .Montana than can
be secured in the prairie section part
of the state. The above is the obser
vation of J. W. Haw, of the North Da
kota Agricultural College. He also
has found that there is a tendency for
the North Dakota buyer to drop off at
the nearest point in Montana where
sheep can be found. It has become
rather customary, therefore, for the
eastern Montana rancher to be on the
lookout for the amateur Dakota sheep
man and "trim" him if possible when
be comes out to buy. Since as yet the
Dakota, buyer has not gotten into the
western part of the state this condi
tion is not true there and he can gen
erally purchase with a greater proba
bility of getting value received for his
money in the foothill and mountain
section of the state.

BARBERRIES OR WHEAT
Barberries or wheat is the problem.
If wheat is to be raised with success
the barberry miiai go. A great many
barberries have been dug but many
are yet left. In Minnesota the bar
berry is growing wild in 18 counties.
Vigorous steps must be taken to thor
oughly clean out the barberry that
threatens the wheat crop of the North
west. The barberry got in Its deadly
work on the 1919 crop. Who can
measure what it cost the farmer in re
duced yieids and the consumer in
higher cost of bread.—Extension Dir.

GREEN FOOD FOR POULTRY
To take the place of green grass ob
tained by the fowls in summer the
flock must be provided with green
food in some fc rm. Mangles and
sprouted oats an- very good. Alfalfa
and clover meal are high in protein
content and make good additions to an
"gg producing ration. Cabbage and
carrots are also good green foods.—H.
