Somehow or other they couldn't get as much work done as on other days. It was a rather puzaling situation. Farmers rolled out of bed in the darkness of early morning, as they ‘are prone to do under the rules and regulations of the Federation of the Sweat of the Brow, to get the live- stock and poultry fed, the dairy herd milked and the old Henry Ford Greased. They made a splendid start on the day’s chores before tackling their breakfasts of country sausage, stacks of hot wheats and maple syrup, topped off with richly creamed cof- ee. After breakfast they began the day’s grind of snow shoveling or some other form of muscle building for which farm life is distinguished, and they worked as though it was part of an athletic competition. But late in the day they didn't seem to be get- ting anywhere. Darkness found only part of the day’s task accomplished. Christmas shoppers had the same experience. The day found them with a lot of their gift buying and sending unfinished They couldn't understand. And somehow they were not quite as pegged out when dark- ness settled. That they had fallen short in that way was strange, too. O. W. Roberts, the weather man. said it was not due to the weather Then he had a bright intuition. “It's the shortest day of the year”, he said, “that's why you can’t get as much work done as on other days or get as tired.” Flu Attack Is Fatal to Farmer at Fargo Fargo, N.

PERSISTENCE LANDS WOMAN BEHIND BARS} Reiteration That She Knew Something About Murder Causes Arrest ‘Poker Alice’ Saved from Pen Sentence Pierre, 8. D., Dec. 21—(P)— “Poker Alice,” one of the few remaining characters of the col- orful pioneer days in the Black Hills of South Dakota, days of gold seeking and Indian warfare, Thursday was saved from serv- ing a term in the state penitenti- ary by gubernatorial pardon. Mrs. Alice Tubbs, known as “Poker Alice,” was a picturesque character with “Deadwood Dick” of dime novel fame, “Calamity Jane,” and “Wild Bill” Hickok. She lives at Sturgis, near Dead- wood, where she became widely known for the part she took in the rough life of gold boom days. Convicted on charge of operat- ing a house of ill repute, the woman, now 75 years of age, was sentenced to serve a six months’ term in the state penitentiary at Sioux Falls. Governor W. J. Bu- low, today pardoned “Poker Alice” on the ground that because of her feebleness she has but few more years to live.
