' ° » - -ill 9t lata Mr. TrvatartViin* Qw>m Polrrc of Cranston stands. Miss Mary Adamson, trained nurse who cared for Mrs. Pelrce during ber last years, will receive nearly $40,000. The nurse was given a $20,000 legacy and named as residuary legatee. Curtis EarnPs Hill, investment banker of this tlty and a cousin of Mrs. Pelrce, contested the will on the ground that Mrs. Pelrce, because of her physical condition, was not competent to execute the will which was dated November 5, three days before her death. The case was tried before a Jury last May, but the Jury failed to agree. It was to have been tried again, but a settlement was readied on the eve of the trial. The trial before Judge O'Conndl In Superior court created interest because of the character of the witnesses on both sides. Court attaches assarted that all the witnesses were "remarkably truthful and that no attempt was made to bolster either side through the aid of truth stretching." Miss Adam son, It developed, was given the legacy because of her kindness to Mrs. Pelrce. Mfo. Pelrce and her husband, who died several years ago, were New Yorkers and came to Cranston to live when Mr. Pelrce retired from business. Their fortune was estimated to exceed $1!)0,000, but dwindled during the last years of Mr. Peirce's life apd for the two years following his death. At that time Mrs. Pelrce, according to the testimony, called upon her cousin, Curtis Eames Hill, for assistance. She left the management of her estate In liis oare and through his handling of it the estate was enhanced nearly $15,000. Kill* intnv)iiPM< Hy SMiafaw N M.

Among these are automobile investigators and highway police of the office of the secreary of Btate, employes of the state library in all divisions, state highway maintenance police and many employes of the legislative reference bureau except secretary, and numerous other employes. > . GAME RAISING TO HELP U. S. FARMER At a meeting of lit mostly from various institutions throughout the state, held in Springfield, the State Employes' Pension association was organized to work with Representative Frank A. McCarthy, of Elgin, for passage of a state employes' pension bill. Col. A. C. Millspaugh was named president of the association, Amos Sawyer, vicepresident and E. A. Browning, seemtarjtroasurer. Warden Henry Hill, of Joliet prison, has expressed to the legislative investigating committee the opinion that prisons should not be so large and recommended closfer supervision of prisoners, provision of more work for the convicts on products that can be utilized at the prisons, more deputy wardens, increased pay for the guards and better training facilities. Total estimated expenditures on building in Illinois for March was 107 per cent above the same month of 1930, according to report given by the state department of labore r High School Girl, Aged /. ^ 17, Makes Flight Aldne Seattle.--With only eight hours of flying at an aviation school, divided into four hours a year ago and four hours this jwlnter. Miss Lela Newman made a solo flight of half an hour, achieving the triple feat of making a perfect takeoff, landing find the record of the youngest flyer ever to solo In the Northwest Miss Newman Is only seventeen, and her father, Maj. Bill Newman, operator of the Newman Flying school, believes she Is the youngest girl solo flyer In the country. She Is a student at the Franklin high school and president of the Franklin High School Aviation club and member of the Women's National Aeronautical association. She comes naturally by her bent for the air, as her father has a background of 15 years of flying. He was a member of the British air forces during the World war, with two years of service In France. Miss Newman figured, la the news recently when she made her first parachute Jump September 21 last, averting a serious accident by skillfully steering the "chute" away from high tension wires Into which she was falling. ; J Use Two Languages la New Mexico Legislature Santa Fe, N. M.--Everything is said twice In the New Mexico house of representatives-- once la English and once In Spanish. I Two interpreters translate every Speech from either English Into Spanish or visa versa. One Interpreter stays at the front of the chamber to translate the words of the presiding officer, while another Interpreter Is kept busy on the floor interpreting the speeches of the members. Everything except the chaplain's prayer, which Is spoken 4n English, Is interpreted. The Interpreting system Is not used so' much for the benefit of the house members as It Is for the galleries - Sixteen hundred acres of timber and farm lands in the vicinity of Belleville, Illinois, have been leased for a state game preserve as announced by Ralph F. Bradford, director of the department of conservation. This land has ideal cover for gam$ birds and will be used to replenish the state's supply of quail and pheasants. According to contract made with the individual farmers whose land comprise this tract, two acres out of every 160 will be sown to feed for the birds. The tract will be posted against hunting and the welfare of the young quail and pheasant will be watched by state game wardens and the farmers who have leased their land. The Belleville high school class in agriculture and the Boy Scouts of the city are to raise part of the pheasant to be loosed on the tract, the eggs to be supplied by the state and they will be paid $2.60 for each bird that is released by them.' . Various Soureos of Rami Opesi to Landowners* Hew York.--"Farm Relief" come from an entirely unexpected' source as the central idea or the American game policy Is put Into effect, according to officials of the American Game association. The Idea is adequate compensation In some form to farmers and landowners who practice environmental control to Increase game on their lands. And In widely scattered sections where It Is being, tried out, farmers are reaping returns In varying ways and amounts. In Pennsylvania, according to tlie state game conservation commission^, some farmers are making more money from selling hunting rights and byproducts, such as board, eggs, butter* fresh meat and other farm products^, than they do from their crops. Many farmers in Texas, who are actually producing game, are getting as high as $4 a day for hunting privileges. There are four classes of game aad game land, according to. the classification of the policy, which advocates that the landowner who practices game management be "compensated directly or indirectly for producing a game crop and for the privilege of harvesting it." These classes are farm game, forest and range game*, wilderness game and migratory garnet which inhabits all classes of land. "Compensation to landowners far the privilege of hunting may take the following forms," the policy points out: "Cash rental per acre, lease; cash payment per head of gome killed, toll system; cash payment per man-day hunted, toll Bystem; payment of part or all taxes on the land; service payment by hiring patrol to protect landowner's property; service payment by Installing food, coverts and refuges; and service payment by restocking game." Sportsmen are to make the payments according to the policy adopted recently by them at the seventeenth American game conference here. Soy Bean Hay Equal in Feed Value to Alfalfa At the Indiana station soy bean bay proved to be about 8 per cent inferior to alfalfa. At the South Dakota station results from a similar test Indicated soy bean hay to be 0 per cent than alfalfa far datrr cow* At the West Virginia station soy bean hay proved to be slightly superior to alfalfa for milk production, and at the Tennessee station it was quits a bit su{>erlor. At the Wisconsin station, In one case, milk production was slightly larger when alfalfa was fed as compared with soy bean hay. The weights of the cows were also slightly better maintained on the former than en the latter. In another test at the same station the two hays were practically equal In feeding value, but more of the soy bean hay was wasted by the cows than of the alfalfa. Thus we see that on the whole soy bean hay, when well cared and cot at the right time, Is practically equal In feeding value to good alfalfa.

C.--A "gold mine" has been found by C. E. Smith, a farmer, near here, but it Is not in the ground. It is la an "old house." The old house standing on Smith's farm happened to have been built and furnished back In 1775. Shortly after Smith bought the farm, antique seekers began fairly swarming down on him and the ramshackle old house. He already has sold enough antique furnishings--mantels, locks, doors, windows, window blinds, staircase and what not--to pay off the mortgage on the farm. 1 I I 11 1 I 11 I I I 11 > I I U 11 I 11 "Dead" Buck Flees With Hunter Permit ; Menominee, Mich.--Leroy Bu- • shek shot a deer, but It ran away ] with his liceifse.
