A Blunder In Poets.

which he and Campbell fell one day in

the generous poet lost his temper.

the conclusion that he had two r0gueS

A New Depot Needed.

4 Canton has been promised new
depot for some time, and our people
had some hope that one would be
erected this year, but that hope will
not be realized, as the building season
is too far advanced to do anything
now. The railroad business transact
ed at Canton is not surpassed by any
town in the state and the inconveni-
ence for transaction of business is ap-
parent to all. There is not side
trackage enough and the mixing of
passenger and freight trains makes it
intolerable at times, YET our people
have hoped for remedy. Canton is
loyal to the Milwaukee and the comp
any should try and deal fairly by
Canton. We understand plans for a
new depot are drawn and promises
have been made but it seems quite
evident that nothing will be done
this year. Why this continued delay
we cannot say.
The imperative demand for new
depot or fixing up the old one was
made apparent the other day during
the heavy rain, and, it's the same
during every heavy rain. The writer
saw the Office floor flooded with water
that came through the roof, the tele-
graph operator had to cover his in
struments to keep them from being
soaked and could not be used during
the storm. The cashiers desk had
to be covered to keep the records
from being soaked, and the working
force was demoralized.
We do not believe that President
Earling understands the situation or
things would be different. The
trouble lies with division chiefs who
are backward about reporting actual
conditions in order to make a good
showing in favor of economy. There
is no economy in this. 1t is plain
busine IS methods to be in shape to do
business promptly and give the pat
rons Of the road every convenience
compatible with modern conditions.
Sometimes, and we may say quite
often, there are over a hundred pas

Baily and the Doctors.

Appendicitis is again rampant in
Kossuth county. 1t is onlya few
months since one of these aggravated
cases went to the hospital for treat
ment and they said he had chicken
pox. He saved his vermiform doflick-
er that time but now the disease is
becoming prevalent again and moth
ing but dedoflopussing seems to be Of
no avail. Some of the KoSSuth peo-
pie have had their appendix removed
three or four times and few who are
able have it removed every spring.
The doctors over there have picnic,
when money gets short they begin to
dig dixndeesa. One or two of them
last fall came out at doctors con-
vention and claimed it was all folde-
rol to remove Sc many appendix, but
the others kicked on this and kept on
digging. There was time when a
person could have the collie or the
plain every day belly ache and get
cured by being rubbed with a hot
brick or being rolled on barrel, but
that time is passed, an internal pain
is either appendicitis or some other
equally as high priced disease and the
doctor will take you apart while you
wait, untangle your gallducts and tip
your liver over, where it can get air
and in two weeks you feel like a new
man and sometimes you are. They
made one man new stomach out of
a football and appendix are SO num-
erous that they feed them to the
chickens in the spring to make them

WILSON REPLIES TO HILL.
Free Alcohol First Step to Fore
stall Exhaustion OF Wood and
Coal Supplies.

Washington Sept. l2.-The secre-
tary of agriculture has taken up the
recent talk by James J. Hill and re-
piled to some of his most pessimistic
utterances, Mr. Hill asked:
"IIow shall we feed the 200, O,OOO 900
Americans who will in fifty years
constitute this nation?
"We are wasting the resources of
our land, and of our mines and for
ests; we can already see exhaustion in
sight. What will take the place of
these things, our iron and coal and
oil, or lumber and timber, the virgin
fertility of a soil fast becoming ex-
hauSted?'
In commencing on these ObServa
tions secretary Wilson said:
"With regard to the exhaustion of
the wood, oil, and coal, the farmer
will meet that. Congress has taken
the iirsj step iii granting free alcohol,
and this department is at work learn
ing what can be done to develop it's
possibilities. The chemists are work.
ing at a big cannery in Illinois to
learn how to produce alcohol cheaply
from the by products of that busi-
ness and an expert who has been sent
to Europe will bring back supplies of
seed for production of the big stock
potato raised there for alcohol and
stock food. 1t is not the ordinary
edible potato we know, but will give
twice the alcohol per acre. Still 9TH
er experts are studying the uses of
alcohol for heat and power. l have
no uneasiness about the prospective
lack of coal and Oil.
"We will irrigrte more. The gov
ernment is doing what it can for the
land which lies below the level of the
bitches. But what of the land which
lies above the ditch to which the
water cannot be taken? We are find
ing crops that will grow on it, We
are searching the ends Of the earth
for them. Durum wheat, grown for
in Algeria and some parts of
Russia, was brought to us: it will
produce good crop in ten inches of
annual rainful. Last year we raised
100000 bushels of it and this year
the crop will be much larger.
Every acre of this domain is good
for something. We are raising the
spineless cactus on the sands of the
Mojave desert and feeding cattle on
it to determine results"

Light, Fuel, Food in Huge Potato.
Boon for Farmers Seen i'm Giant
Tuber as an AlchOl Pro-
ducer.

Washington Special: The depart
ment of agriculture is seeking plan
by which the farmer may cheaply
make his own denaturized alcohol for
light and fuel. DR.. Galloway, chief of
the bureau of plant industry, under
direction of Secretary Wilson, has
sent agents to study the big potato
that is grown in many sections of the
continent and arrange for securing
seed and transplanting it in this
country.
This potato has small value for
edible purposes, but is several times
as large as the one commonly seen in
this country. From an acre of ground
it is claimed enough Of them can be
produced to make 600 gallons of alco-
hol, which means light, heat and
power for a farm household for a
year. This potato is to be developed

Proposed Amendments.

Four constitutional amendments
are to be voted upon at the general
election to be held in November of
| this year.
The first of these amendments re-
lates to the Office of superintendent
of schools. At present any person
may be elected superintendent, who
can muster the necessary votes, re-
gardless of his qualifications for the
position, and the legislature is power
less to alter the situation without an
express constitutional provision. The
amendment in question adds to the
provision Of the constitution which
prescribes the qualifications of public
officers, this prOviSo: "PrOvided fur
ther, that the legislature shall have
authority to prescribe further quail
tications for superintendent of
schools 1t seems reasonable that
the superintendent should possess a
certain amount of learning.
The next amendment proposed au-
thOrizes the legislature to provide for
municipal courts in cities having
more than five thousand population.
At present only police magistrate is
permitted, but a regular municipal
court possessing larger powers than
justices of the peace possess, is deem
ed desirable. The real significance of
the amendment appears to be to give
the municipal court exclusive juris-
diction or all justice business arising
in the towns, thus cutting out the
county justices. There may be some
question of the prudence of this pro-
position.
The third amendment submitted
relates to the drainage of agricultural
lands. 1t seeks to establish the prin-
ciple that such drains are for pub
lie purpose, and hence that land may
be condemned for drainage purposes,
and the costs of the improvement as
sessed against property benefited.
There are considerable sections of the
state where the matter of drainage is
of vital Importance, and it seems fit
ting and necessary that the public
should have charge of the subject.
Finally the legislature saw fit to
submit to the people the question Of
a twine plant at the state peniten-
tiary. 1t is estimated that revolv-
ing fund of two hundred thousand
dollars will be needed to handle the
business, and the amendment pro-
poses that the next legislature be au-
thorized to levy tax of not to ex-
ceed one and one half mills for the
purpose of establishing such revolv-
ing fund The success of the Mime
sofa and Kansas twine plants, and
the popularity of the enterprise with
the farmers, who will be the chief
consumers of the product, assures the
adoption Of the amendment. Upon
the basis of this years assessment,
the levy will produce about 1926, 900,
so that it is probable that levy OF

and acclimated for the different Sec
tiOns Of the United States as soon as
possible. After the alcohol is taken
from it, the residue is still useful for
feeding livestock. Secretary Wilson
and DR.. Galloway anticipate that in
a few years it will constitute one of
the most useful ana valuable crops.
The department has completed ar
rangements with a big establishment
in the west for the use of 10000 tons
of its refuse se-cornstalks, husks, tops
and ends of beets, cobs, etc.-to be
devoted to systematic experiments in
the production of alcohol. 1t is we'll
known that there is plenty of alcohol
in all these things. The proposition
is to find whether it can be taken out
at reasonable cost.

sengers waiting for trains when de-
lays occur, and there are no toilet
rooms or other conveniences which
women and children demand. The
stencil that comes from the old wood
en- shack that stands where no one
can reach it was horrible during the
summer. The board Of health should
have condemned it long ago, but our
people are so loyal to the good old
Milwaukee that it's sins of omission
were passed in that always hopeful
hope that new conditions would soon
be the order.
We can see no immediate hope for
relief only through direct appeal to
President Earling, carrying with it a
direct statement Of the conditions
that exist at the busiest railroad de-
pot in the state. President Earling
is a railroad man from the ground up,
and If he could realize the actual con-
ditions here there would be some
thing doing mighty quick.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-09-21

one mill will be found sufficient for
the required revenue.
To summarize then, it appears that
three of the amendments are proper
and necessary and should prevail,
while the fourth, relating to the es-
tablishment of municipal courts,
should be carefully considered before
passing upon it's advisability.
