AS HERO OF PATRIOTIC SALES
“BILL” ADDED THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS TO WAR FUND.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D.—“ Bill” was
only an old goose, but when he was
found dead of old age in a pasture on
a farm north of Sioux Falls he was
given an honorable burial by residents
of the vicinity.
“Bill” gained national fame during
the world war as a “Red Cross goose.”
Sander Questad, on whose farm the
goose died, had had charge of the
goose since that historic day when it
became a permanent resident of Bal
tic, after the people of that commun
ity paid the Red Cross society $2,026
for it. |
Before going to Baltic the old fowl
had made quite an extensive itinerary
of Red Cross sales among the differ
ent towns and villages of Minnehaha
county, the money derived from these
sales at auction of the old goose being
turned into the Red Cross fund for
war work.
Donated to Red Cross.
The goose was first “bought in” at
a country sale by J. E. Shaw, living
near Colton. Shaw, to show his pa
triotism and desire to aid the, Red
Cross, paid $7O for it and presented it
to the Red Cross people of Colton to
be again sold. At the next sale. it
brough $132.
From Colton “Bill” was transported
to Hartford, where the Red Cross
again put it up at auction, the oldJ
fowl this time bringing $152.
He was then taken to Crooks, where
bidders from Renner secured posses
sion of him at a price of $550. The
Renner Red Cross held an auction sale
and people from Garretson bid him in
at $l5O.
The residents of Garretson decided
to give the old goose the greatest pa
triotic boost that he had yet had. They |
advertised far and near the sale at
anction of the now famous fowl. They
succeeded in getting together a large
assemblage of people, and the bidding
was fast and furious. Finally the
goose was sold at a price of $1,608
probably the highest price paid up to
that time in the United States for
an ordinary serub goose.
Bill’'s Last Sale. i
Baltic people secured possession of !
the goose and determined to show the|
country a sample of real patriotism,|
They put it up at auction. At this|
sale a large and enthusiastic erowd |
turned out and the bidding was decid
edly spirited, for residents of Baltic
had publicly announced that so long
as their money lasted no other town in
the county would be able to “bid in”|
the fowl, '
When the sale was over it was an
nounced by the auctioneer that “Bill”
had been sold for $2,026.
Thus ended the travels and confine
ments for “Bill,” for it was decided he
had done his full duty in aiding the
United States in winning the war, and
he was given into the keeping of the
farmer on whose farm he was found
dead a few days ago.

Sow Cowpeas on Every Farm
Winter cover crops have a special
value on southern farms. They pro
tect the land from washing, prevent
loss of plant food by leaching, furnish
grazing for livestock during the win
ter months, and in the spring may be
plowed under to the great benefit of
the soil, or left for harvest for hay,
lgrain or seeds.
Crops to Consider.
’ The small grains and the clovers are
the most satisfactory crops for this
lpurpose. They are all adapted to
southern conditions and soils. In
imost of the southern states oats is the
most important small grain. Not
over 75 per cent of the amount needed
for honie consumption is now grown.‘
The acreage in fall oats should be
greatly increased. They can be pro
duced cheaply, mature early, and can
be followed in most of the states by
corn and cowpeas, cowpeas for hay,
sweet potatoes, or other fall crops.
Rye is better than fall sown oats in
the northern tier of states of the
southern group. ’
QOats, rye, wheat, bur clover ,crim-|
son clover and the vetches, sown with
oats, are all valuable as cover crops,
The choice will depend on your soil
!ami location.

‘ COUNCIL WILL NOT REOPEN
t BOUNDARY ISSUE. CRTICISES
- ATTEMPTED INTERVENTION.
A note has been received in Wash
ington from Paris declining President
Wilson’s proposal to the council of Al
lied ambassadors that an international
commission be appointed to adjust the
Teschen boundary dispute between Po
land and Czecho-Slovakia.
The Allied reply says the question
is being settled by methods already
approved by Poland and Czecho-Slo
vakia.
News of the president’s communica
tion, delivered to the Allied council by
Hugh Wallace, American ambassador
to France, caused surprise throughout
France. :
Placed Allies in Quandary.
It was said in official circles that
the president’s apparent eleventh hour
re-entrance in Europe’s difficulties had
complicated the situation and placed
the council of ambassadors in some
thing of a quandary.
- Anti-Wilson circles seized upon
what they termed the president’s re
newed intervention in European af
fairs to accuse him of repeating his
tactics in the Fiume controversy be
tween Italy and Jugo-Slavia.
COX NOT MEDDLING
IN POLITICS OF STATE
Governor Says His Policy Will be One
of Non-Interference in Democratic
Primary Contests.
DAYTON, Ohio.—A policy of non
interference in state democratic pri
maries was announced today by Gov
ernor Cox, the democratic presidential
candidate. He stated that he had been
asked to take a stand in the Texas
primary fight, in which former Sena
tor Bailey is involved, and had refusea.
“It is neither my province nor my
desire,” said a statement by the gov
ernor, “to interfere in any way with
the Texas situation. It is a matter
for the democrats of the state. That
has been my attitude from the outset.”
Governor Cox explained that this
was a unifornt policy, applicable to
all states,
Before the war the United States
furnished nearly one-fourth the to
bacco crop of the world.
during the war makes it more than
lever important to now grow restora
l’cive crops. We must not on]y. main
tain but increase our soil fertility if
profitable production of our money
crops can be continued under the new
conditions. A concerted campaign en
gaged in by extension workers, the
press, bankers, business men, and
farm organizations could arouse the
necessary interest and enthusiasm to
|insure a great increase in cover crop
|planting this fall. The extension
lforcos of the United States depart
ment of agriculture and the state ag
ricultural colleges can plan such a
caripaign, assist in arousing interest,
and furnish information as to cover
crops best adapted to particular sec
tions, but they must have the moral
-and financial backing of the other
agencies named to make such a cam
paign a complete success. Especially
can business men and bankers or their
organizations be of great service by
assisting and arranging for an eco
nomical supply of seed and fertilizers,
’as well as by using their = influence
to induce farmer customers to sow
"sujtab]e cover crops on their farms
this fall. i
The time for sowing fall crops is al
most here. Consult your county
agent, the agricultural college, or the
U. S. department of agriculture as to
the best crops for your section, and
get busy. J. A. EVANS, Chief.

FEMININE ARMY HAILING FROM
ALL NATIONS WAITS AT NEW
YORK FOR LOVERS.
NEW YORK.—Brides, pink, nut
brown, olive and rosy, slender, chubby
and plump, are anxiously inquiring at
Ellis Island these days in a Babel of
tongues for the sweethearts they have
come so far to capture and break into
domestic teamwork.
These modern Penelopes, who have
reversed tiie old story and gone in
search of their mates instead of su
pincly waiting and spinning at home,
have adventured to more businesslike
purpose than did old meandering
Odysseus. They have winged a true
course despite all the difficulties of
these unsettled times.
They, together with aged relatives
of kinsfolk already established here
and wives and children coming to re
i join husbands, form a considerable
part of the present mounting wave
of immigrants, and their eager attrac
‘tiv&mcss just now is doing much to
‘brighten the Island’s grim labyrinth.
| There is such a choice and so cos
imopoiitant a bouquet of young brides
‘at the Island that they deserve a con
‘sideration all to themselves, excluding
from notice all of the faltering steps
beside them of the aged fled from the
chaos of Europe to secure haven with
their children in America, and the
prattlers in everything from Gaelic to
Arabie, at last in a land of plentiful
bread and milk.
Mary, Kathleen, Mollie, Malaki, Hel
ena, Gastana, Taube, Conception, Mit
zi and Germaine, all tender in years, all
distractingly pratty, all in sparkling
|spirits, hailing from seven different
countries and speaking seven different
languages, clustered together in the
New York detention room awaiting
the arrival of their sweethearts, form
ed as inspirational citizen material as
the Old World has ever sent us.
Mary, Kathleen and Mollie were
Irish girls—home-makers they said—
impatient to be away from the Island
and at their chosen profession. Mol
lie Malone, a slender, brown-haired,
brown-eyed gir! from Dublin, jollied
all rhyme and reason out of a would
be serious interview. She volunteered
that she was going somewhere west of
the Hudson river to marry a Yank
whom she had met while he was
doughboying overseas.
Malaki Ayoub, a Syrian girl from
Beirut, an exotic moving pictare prin
cess without half trying, olive skinned,
impled, lustrous dark eyes, black hair,
of plump, languorous dignity, also
comes to marry. The interview with
Malaki was limited to a word or so
and nods, the interpreter, Nathan
CGreenberg, master of a sheaf of lan
guages, being unable to undersiana
much of the meat of her speech. Ma
laki, with naive, near-Eastern frank
ness, draw ane official paper from the
National Lisle Bank and verified the
lspe]ling of her name.
HELPED HIS WIFE IN SUICIDE;
SENTENCED TO LIFE TERM
Guilty of Murder in First Degree as
Accomplice Before Fact and Must
Pay Penalty, Supreme Court Held.
_The Michigan supreme court, in the
case of Frank C. Roberts, has ruled
that no matter how much a person
may be suffering and desirous of
death any one who places within
reach the means to commit suicide is
guilty of murder in the first degree as
an accessory before the fact and must
be sentenced to solitary confinement in
the state prison for life.
A victim of multiple sclerosis and
absoluteiy helpless, Roberts’ wife at
tempted suicide, but failed. Later she
asked her husband to mix some poi
son with water and leave it by her
bedside. After he did so she drank it
and died.
~ Roberts, charged with murder, made
a confession and was sentenced to
solitary confinement for life. His at
torney appealed to the supreme court,
‘which ruled that “he who kills anoth
er at his own desire or command is
‘a murderer as much as if he had done
it of his own hand.”
