To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and who
is reasonably satisfied with the old, we
would suggest that trial of Defiance
Cold Water starch be made at once.

the manufacturers to be superior to
any other brand, but because each 10c
package contains 16 ozs., while all the
other kinds contain but IL ozs. 1t is

Defnace Starch will use no other.

About the Size of the Situation.

White River Junction Landmark
What is the use of keeping on the
statutes a law if there is no intention
of enforcing it? Better repeal the
death penalty at once. Every pres
umption in favor of committing the
penalty imposed upon the three con-
victed men was raised in their de-
fence at their respective trials, and
passed upon by the juries that convict
ed them. The best course would have
been to expunge the law from the
statutes and at the same time res
trict the pardoning power of the gov
ernor, which Governor Mccullough
has already used rather freely since
his accession to office.

Antitrust Bill Passed by House.

The first antitrust legislation of
the session was passed in the House
Wednesday without waiting for the Ad-

was totally unexpected, and was the
result of Democratic manoeuvring.
The Democrats forced the question
to the front during the debate on
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, and the Republi-
cans improved and adopted the legis-
lation they suggested. 1t was an
amendment to the bill appropriating
100000 to enable the attorney gen.
eral to enforce the Sherman antitrust

This is the way Brown is hustling
in Morton. county, according to the

There was a good deal of truth in
what James J. Hill said recently at
Chicago, to the effect that .sland with
out population was a wilderness, and
population without land was a mob. "
The firm Of VIM. H. Brown & Co. is
doing its full share to turn Morton
county into something other than a
wilderness, and to relieve The already
overcrowded east of its liability tc
harbor mobs.
A we'll to do farmer in Minnesota
has purchased the Axel Lund place and
he expects to come out here this fall.
VIM. H. Brown & Co. have located
over 100 new settlers in this county

Will Hausman fell between the car
and his dray last week Friday and

be a slight sprain Of the arm, but
which has since developed into a ser
ious condition Of the muscles Of the
shoulders and back. Hesis. confined to

The railroad company's improve
ments in the Churchs Ferry yard has
resulted in closing the ditch which
carried off the surface water, and dur
ing the recent rains nearly every cell
lar in the business portion of the
town is from one-third to one-half
full of water. We would suggest
that the village authorities confer
with the railroad company with a
view to constructing a two foot tile
sewer parallel to the railroad and ex-
tending from the extreme west limit
Of the. village to the coulee. This
main sewer could be tapped wherever
the village board found it necessary
to construct lateral sewers to drain
other portions of the town. "A good
sewerage system is absolutely neces-.
.sary to insure a good sanitary condi-
ton of the town. Cess-pools have
been constructed in several portions Of
the village forthe purpose of draining
the cellars, but these are dangerous to
the good health Of the community, as
they soon become foul and breed
disease germs.
