A Prominent Visitor.

A'' VI icaodnt, CITY dtlOr-
ney of Shreveport, was in the city
last Monday circulating among
his many old friends and school
mates, and incidentally letting
them know that he woald like to
take charge of the legal portfolio
of the next administration, in
other words he is o candidate for
Attorney General.
Col. Pleasant was born and
reared IN Union parish. He was
a student at Mt. Lebanon college,
at which large number Of the
boys and girls of Winn parish
attended; from there he went to
the Louisiana State University,
and it was from there he entered
the volunteer troops that enlisted
sG@ ,tEG@ Louisiana. He became
Lieutenant Colonel of the First
Louisiana Regiment. After the
disbandment of the regiment, he
returned home aud afterwards
went to Shreveport and COM
menced the practice of law. He
was soon elected city attorney,
which position he now holds. We
feel satisfied that North Louisiana
will give him their hearty support.
Gone to Hodge.
1t is with sincere regret that we
have to note the removal of Mr..
O. 4. Hodge and his estimabIe
family from WINFIELD to Hodge,
Louisiana. Mr.. Hodge, during
his sojourn here, has proven
himself a splendid citizen, public
spirited and thorough business
man. While Mr.. Hodge has large |
interests here his absence will be |
keenly felt in the business CON-
Society will lose one of its
leading spirits in the removal of |
Mrs. Hodge, who has proven
herself a noble worker In church
circles and In the field of charity.
She will be sadly missed in the
social circle of Winfield. 81
We hope that when Mr.. Hodge
,ets his new mill built and in
operation he can then return and
make WINFIELD his permanent
lome.

CONCLUDE WORK
Elect Officers and Decide on St. Paul
as Next Meeting Place.

Albert Lea, Nov. THE meeting
of creamery inspectors and instructors
held here this week came to close
yesterday afternoon after a permanent
organization was effected. The morn
ing session was largely taken up with
the scoring of butter that had been
picked up in Chicago and other mar
kets, as well as some from the
creameries here. This was one of the
most interesting sessions of the con-
vention.
II. j. Credicott of Chicago read a
paper upon butter as it is found in
the market. In the afternoon there
were short talks by the delegates and
a permanent organization was effected,
to be known as the National As,
ISOLATION of Creamery Inspectors and
Instructors. OIiicers were chosen as
follows: President, C. P. Larson, Mad
isOn, Wis; vice president, Helmer
Rabild, Michigan; secretary, b. d..
While, Washington, d. c..
1t was recommended that the next
meeting be held in St. Paul in March
at the time of the national meeting of
dairymen. Resolutions were adopted,
the most important recommending
that the secretary of agriculture place
an Inspector wherever cream is ship
ped between states.

FORGERY is The CHARGE
LABORING MAN Is ARRESTED AT
WINTHROP, MINI.
He Is Accused of Having Passed a
'Phony" Check at Window;
Taken to Latter Place.

When the south train pulled into
Winthrop last Saturday afternoon,
Chief of Police Melius was on hand,
and as a young man of about twenty
five years of age stepped off he was
taken in charge and escorted to the
city bastile, says The Winthrop News.
A description of the man previously
telephoned from st. James tailed in
every detail with the stranger, who
alighted on the depot platform, charg-
ed with forgery. He admitted his
name was Nels Koerkendahl, but
could not understand why taken in
charge by the local police. In con-
versation with the editor of The News
he stated that he was laboring man,
having worked in the harvest fields
near st. James and worked with sew
eral threshing crews later. He claimed
to have been in this country nearly
four years and could only speak
enough English to get along. He stat
ed that he could not write and could
only read with difficulty and to the
writer this seemed very plausible as
he was either pitiably ignorant or ex-
ceptionally clever, but the latter is
hardly probable as his general make
up covered every trace of the latter.
He was wanted at Window and he
was taken there Sunday morning by
Sheriff Severson of Cottonwood coun-
ty. The fellow was on his way to
Dawson, to which place he had pur-
chased ticket, and where he stated
he had friends. 1t might be possible
that he had been influenced by his
friends to pass forged check but the
fellow himself could hardly be credit
ed with enough ingenuity to attempt
such an undertaking. He is said to
have forged check for thirty nine
dollars on his employer and when
searched he had ninety dollars on his
person. This he claimed he had made
in the following amounts: Fifty dol
lars in the harvest field, $l650 from
one thresher, SIS from another and
Sll from announcer, sIlll having aDouI
thirty dollars coming from the last
man he worked for. The fellow was
Norwegian by birth and positively
stupid to converse with. The sheriff
was positive he had the right man
though he had never seen the fellow
nor did he have any further proof
than the description.

BIDS ARE ALL TOO HIGH
MUCH STATE WORK is PUT OFF
UNTIL LATER.
Price of Material Stays Many Build
ines Intends ed for In Institutions for
the Commonwealth.

ST. Paul, Nov. S.-The high prices
again caused the state board of con-
troll to reject bids for a number of
new buildings for which provision
was made by the legislature last win
ter. During the past few weeks bids
have been received on a dozen or
more new buildings and additions, but
in nearly every case the board has
been forced to reject the bids. In
lions have been amended and the con-
tracts let on new bids.
The board has just rejected bids re-
ceived for a custodial building and a
kitchen building at the Faribault insti-
tuition and tuberculosis hospital at
the st. Peter hospital for the insane.
The appropriations for these several
buildings were $4,000, 1000 and $685.
600 respectively. The bids, however, in
each case were greatly in excess of
these amounts.
The legislature last winter appropri-
ated $4,000 for a detention of tuber-
culosis hospital at st. Peter, and like
appropriation for the same purpose at
Fergus Falls. The law left it to be the
discretion of the board of control as
to what kind of institutions should
be provided at the two places, and the
board decided upon tuberculosis hos
pital at st. Peter. This hospital will
be used for the patients of the state
insane hospital who are victims of the
white plague.
While no decision has been made by
the board on this matter, it is pro-
bable that detention hospital will be
established at the st. Peter asylum.
This second appropriation, however, will
not be available until next year and no
action with reference to it has been
taken by the board.

St. Paul. Mimi, Nov. S.-James j..
Hill, who months ago accurately fore
casted the present traffic difficulties of
the railways, has issued a carefully
prepared statement over his signature,
in which he reviews the present finan-
cial situation and says that the rem
eIy lies in the hands of the people,
who can end the strain by putting
away their misgivings and ceasing to
hoard their money. The business stu
alton, Mr.. Hill says, is sound and
contains nothing to warrant popular
distrust. His statement follows:
No Cause for Stress.
There is nothing in the actual bus
mess conditions of the country to
cause or to account for the financial
stress everywhere so severely felt.
Crops are good and until money began
to disappear prices were higher than for
many years. Buying and selling are
not now interrupted. Trade is active
and business as whole is sound at
the core. Neither is there an INSULT
cient volume of money in the coun-
try. A year ago there was enough
for all current needs. The notion
that Wall street has in some mys-
FERROUS way absorbed it is without
foundation. As Il matter of fact stock
transactions are only about half what
they were then, with prices greatly
reduced. Probably this requires only
one third or one-f fourth the money
that was needed last year. The
trouble clearly comes from the hoard
ing of money, not by the few, but
by the many. Investors large and
small feel uncertain about the future
of business enterprises, sound and I'M
sound alike.
Must Correct Damage
From whatever source it has come
the impairment of public confidence is
real fact 1t has already done much
damage. 1t VIII Go more unless speed
lily corrected. This popular distrust
so far as it leads to the boarding of
cash is as foolish as it is hurtful.
The people should put an end to it by

THOUGHT 1T A LIVE ONE
How Two Railroad Men Were Fright
ened BY Rooster.

At local station on the Great
ket containing corpse was placed
in the baggage car, at the same time
a number of empty chicken crates
were put on board. The express agent
placed the casket at the far end Of
the car and stacked the empty chick
en- crates near it. After the train left
the station the baggage man heard a
croaking noise in the direction of the
casket. He at once took fright and
FASTENED to the passenger coach
where he told the conductor that there
was certainly something alive in that
casket.
The conductor accompanied the agent
into the car and both listened, but
no sound could be heard. The conduc-
tor told the messenger he was ner-
vous and returned to the coach.
Presently the messenger appeared in
the coach again and told the conduc-
tor that he want going to stay there
as he was sure there was something
grooming in the casket. The conduc-
tor went second time and listened
and he heard the noise and both
FASTENED from the car into the coach.
They finally summoned up nerve to
90 and make an investigation and
found half famished rooster in one
of the chicken crates. The rooster was
croaking for something to eat.

D|DN' 7 WORK CRAFT
Fellow With a Nice Story
Gets an Icy Stare.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Lawyers are not easily grated.
They do not stand for the friendly
'stouch'' as gracefully as some men
do. A few days ago a stranger at
tempted to 'work" several Mankato at
torneys. He had a personal injury
case against railroad company op-
Grating in the northern part of the
state. He had his facts down to
nicely. He related story that would
certainly make decided hit with
could never get away from returning
verdict for a heavy amount in his
favor. He told the attorneys how the
accident happened, due to the negli-
gence of the company, and he had the
documentary evidence all down "pat"
to prove what he said.
Visions of a large fee doomed before
the eyes of the attorneys. They
couldn't help but see verdict for
their client if the case ever did reach
the jury, and it could not help making
that distance easily, if the company
didn't settle before the case went
to trial. Everything looked lovely.
The attorneys began to question the
stranger and he let slip two or three
statements which could not be veri-
fed. He began to look like ''phony,"
and when he made overtures to the
disciples of Blackstone for loan of
about 500 until the jury could bring
in the expected verdict for many
thousands, the lawyers at once made
up their minds that they were up
against bad actor whose mission in
life was to live on the sweat of
other peoples brows. He was given
the icy stare and lost no time in get
ting out of the office of the attor-
news.

FIGHT SPREAD OF DISEASE
Government Is to Prevent the Ship
ment Of tuberculosis Cattle.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE national
government has struck it's first blow in
the fight against tuberculosis. The de-
partment of agriculture has placed a
ban ON the transportation of tubercu-
lous cattle and swine from state to
state.
Pennsylvania and Minnesota stand
out conspicuously as examples of states
which protect themselves. There cat
tie coming from other states are in
spected by state officials, and the tu-
bercuIous animals are disposed of with
into the dairy herds. The example of
these two states is being followed by
Ohio, Wisconsin and Illinois, and it is
more than probable that Michigan has
unknowingly suffered through their in
creased caution. The harm has come
through the owners of tuberculous cat
tie in neighboring states making haste to
get them out of the way before the
state inspectors came along. Of this
conduct the department Of agriculture
has found specific illustrations in Ohio.
As the time came for strictly enforc-
ing the provisions of the new state
ed by private veterinarians. They thus
learned what cattle were infected, and
they shipped them forthwith into I'M
protected state.
To put into effect it's new policy, the
department of agriculture has now a
force of 300 inspectors, scattered all
over the United States. 1t is expected
that these inspectors will add to their
interstate quarantine against tubercu-
losis.
The inspectors will be able, for in
stance, to control the animals passing
through Chicago, whence unprotected
states have been getting diseased dairy
cattle. Cattlemen and packers have
learned that it is a waste to butcher
in Chicago animals which give evidence
of having tuberculosis for the federal
inspectors condemn the carcases. And
so, when infected cows have come along
in shipments, they have steered them
away from the Chicago abattoirs, and
have shipped them for dairy purposes
to unsuspecting dairymen in states like
Michigan and Indiana.
The fact that tuberculosis is on the
increase, both among cattle and swine,
particularly swine, is partially repon-
sible for Uncle Jim Wilson's quaran-

releasing the money, which If with
drawn from circulation means business
starvation. The heavy business inter-
ests of the country are doing their
part. The people must put away mis-
oivings and do theirs and the present
crisis will end. Alarmist publications
have done much to spread and intcn-
sify the distrust.
"The consequences bear most hardly
upon the farmer. The fruits of his
years labor are just now gathered. He
has the food supply ready and the
world needs it and is ready to pay
for it. But the movement from pro-
Queer to consumer requires the use OF
both money and credit. The farmer
who is the foundation of all prosperity
and whose loss or gain affects the
state of all other industries, loses a
large percentage of the value of what
he has to sell. 1t is this that makes
the present situation such hardship
and injury to the whole community.
If the cultivators of the soil suffer,
no business will escape.
Should Not Hoard Money.
''The best and quickest remedy is
for every man who is boarding money
to return it to its usual employment.
1t is he who is doing the mischief.
AS has been seen, the money is in
the country, but it must be made
available 1t is as much the duty of
every citizen to deposit all his surplus
cash in the banks which are entirely
sound and solvent, as it would be to
subscribe to a war loan.
