LOOK WELL TO THE MILK NOW

At this time of year and
throughout the sumner months,
the mistress and all the household
should take care that milk fur
nished them is good, fresh and
free from preservatives. Milk may
become contaminated with infec-
tious matter in various ways. 1t
may receive it from the hands,
person and clothing of mixers
and others by whom it is handled j,
whether they themselves are sick
or convalescent or acting in the
capacity Of nurse or attendant for
others.
1t may acquire it from unclean
vessels, rinsed in polluted water.
Outbreaks traced to milk general
ly involve considerable number
of persons and appear with some
suddenness.
There is an abundance of evi
dence that milk is capable OF
transmitting number of the in
fictitious diseases such as diphther-
ia, scarlet fever, typhoid fever,
(and possibly consumption, chol-
era infantum and Asiatic cholera
tomankind. The usual way that
milk conveys the diseases just
mentioned is that it becomes con.
taminated by those who are hand
ling it and are suffering with an
! infectious disease or convalescent
therefrom.
Milk is frequent contaminated
with typhoid germs by dairymer
washing vessels in polluted water
1t would be wise plan for dairy
men to wash all vessels with boil
ing water or water that has beer
previously boiled, and never rinse
them in cold water at all, as it is
seldom known positively when wa
ter is free from typhoid infection.

tensive epidemics oftyphoid feve.

DELAY OF LAW RESPONSIBLE

That the tedious, exasperating
and needless delay of the law
and of lawyers-in the carrying
out of verdicts of the courts in
criminal cases is responsible in
large degree for the lynching com
mitted in the South, no one will
deny. Sheriff Shipp, of Tennes-
see, says that the supreme court
caused the lynching for which he
is held in part responsible. If the
court had not interferred with
the hanging of the negro there
would have been no lynching.
The people were content to let the
law take it's course so long as the
law saved them the trouble of Or
ganizing 4ynching bee. The jury
promptly convicted, and if the
man had been immediately hanged
there would have been no mob.

SMALLER FARMS ARE BETTER

1t is a demonstrated fact, but
little needed, it seems, especially
in the South and even here in
Sumter county, that a small farm
well attended to is more profitable
than larger one not so well culti-
waited. In South California, it is
said, the average size of the farms
is only twenty three acres, while
farther north in the San Joaquin
valley-where are located "a per
cent of the irrigated lands of the
state-the average size is more
than 100 acres. Bnt with the
close intensive method of cultiva-
ton of the small farms in South
California the profits are far great
er, land more productive and val
liable and the people and country
generally more prosperous. Thus,
by having small farms people
could live closer together, which
would enable them to better build
up schools, churches and such 9th
er institutions that would not on
Iy result in making the soil pro
duce and look better, but afford
them opportunities to cultivate the
mind and heart that they, too, may
look and be their best.

MONEY IN The COTTON STALK

What in the near future prom
ises to add greatly to the wealth
of the South is the discovery of a
process by which paper and bag
ging for cotton bales can be manu-
featured from the fiber of cotton
stalks. We are told that experts
have been at work for the past
two years, solving the practical
features of the problem, and that
their labOrs are to be rewarded
with striking success. When this
invention has been placed in oper-
alton in the South by the estab-
lishment of a number of paper
mills and bagging factories, it is
estimated that the value of the
cotton crop will be increased $780,
100000 annually to the cotton
growers. The manufacture of pa
per and bagging from cotton stalks
means the profitable utilization of
a heretofore waste product. 1t
has already been demonstrated by
practical experiment that the fibre
of the whole cotton plant, includ-
ing the stalk and limbs, is al
most as strong as the fibre of the
flax plant. This will prove inter
esting and valuable news to those
cotton planters Of the South who
each year are forced to expend so
much time and labor in getting
the stalks of the previous crop out
of the way for the planting of the
new crop. With the establish
ment of paper mills throughout
the South for the purpose of con-
verting this heretofore waste pro-
duct into a valuable and useful
commercial commodity, the grow
ers will not only receive cost of la
Dor for removing the stalks from
their fields, but a profit from the
new industry as well.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON-

South Dakota Editors Meet In Sioux

Other Matters Discussed.

The regular midwinter meeting OF
the members Of the South Dakota

had important results. The meeting
was called for the purpose Of discuss
ing the ruling Of the interstate COM
merce commission with reference 10

vertising, and other matters OF impor-
tance to newspaper men.
IAN unwarranted interference with
the right of private contract" Is the
officially expressed opinion OF the
South Dakota editors on the ruling or
the interstate commerce commission.
The editors discussed the matter at
length, and then adopted a resolution
denouncing the ruling and calling on
the South Dakota delegation in con-
gress to favor such amendment of the
anti-pass provision in the new rate
law as will restore II to its rightful In
tention.
The editors contended that the in
terstate commerce commission, in the
ruling In dispute, gave the new rate
law a meaning which congress did not
Intend the law to have.

At the conclusion of the inquiry into

age in the west before G.. A. Prouty,
interstate commerce commissioner,
which began In ST. Louis and ended
at Kansas City Friday night, the com
missioner. shippers and the represent
atives OF the railroads agreed that all
parties concerned would be greatly
benefited and present conditions re-
lieved IL a free interchange of cars
among railroad companies could be
brought about. The solution was first
suggested by shippers. was approved
BY Commissioner Prouty and was in
dorsed by the railroad representatives
when they were given an opportunity
to state their side of the case.
1t is understood that western rail-
way lines generally favor free inter-
change Of freight cars. but that eastern
roads have refused to enter into such
an arrangement The reason for this
difference, II is said, is that eastern
roads are profiting by present condi-
tions and are using many thousand
cars belonging to western roads. and
their own equipment as well. causing a
serious shortage to exist in the west
and south. Western lines have bee.l
forced to issue an order that such cars
as they have left are not to leave their
own respective tracks.
After the hearing had adjourned
Commissioners Prouty said:
IAN interchange of cars by all the
railroads would do away with much of
the shipping trouble. And, then. this
country IS long way from New York.
Owners of railways are not thoroughly
familiar with conditions here. They
are inclined to make money first and
consider the public service later"

Mother Badly Burned When Trying to
Save Life of Child.
The 14-months-old child Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Alfred Stavig, Of Nutley, a few
miles north of Webster, was burned to
death in a fire that nearly destroyed
the Stavig home. Mrs. Stavig was
badly burned while attempting to res
cue the child and her condition is re-
ported az serious.
Mrs. Stavig started fire in the
kitchen stove with the aid Of straw,
and leaving It few moments while
she went to the barn, she was horri-
fled to hear the screams of the child
and to see flames leaping through the
kitchen window. The fire had, in some
manner, communicated with a bundle
of straw that had been left near the
stove and few minutes later the
whole room was in flames. The child
was playing on the floor and the
mother ran into the room regardless Of
the danger, but her clothing instantly
took fire. Mr.. Stavig arrived just in
time to save her from being burned
to death, carrying her out Of the
house and rolling her in a snow bank.
1t was impossible to save the child.
Mr.. Stavig. assisted by farm hands
and neighbors, finally succeeded in ex-
dnguishing the flames.

Cherry, Sheridan and Box Butte
counties, Neb., by means OF fraudulent
homestead. entries under the Kinkaid
