GIRL SHOT BY BROTHER.
Benson County Scene Of Another
Tragedy.

The four-year-old girl of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rasmus Loken was accidentally
shot on their farm, two miles west
of Brinsmade. in Benson county. 1t
seems the eight-year-old son was prac-
ticing with 22-caliber gopher rife,
and in some manner turned the gun
on the little girl, the bullet passing
through her heart and killing her in
stantly. Because these guns are small
and used for exterminating the gopher
many people imagine they are harm
less and allow children to handle
them, but the fact is they are as dan
gerous as any firearm, and this acct
dent is only one of many which our
state papers have chronicled this
spring.

Wheat seeding is much in advance
of last season. It had hardly begun
at this time of last year. Now some
wheat is already coming up. There
is plenty of moisture. Oats seeding
is not quite finished. The acreage
will make less summer fallow, and
the acreage of corn will be larger.
The flax acreage will be less, as to
much has been grown in the past, and
much of the ground is fax sick. The
barley acreage is likely to be in

How To Obtain Pure Milk
e A Practical Talk BY Practicaf Wan =

him that he was on the right track.
Power to better conditions in the
dairies was his. Increased activity IN
inspection improved matters, and
made great many people extremely
indignant, but was only palliative,
and not a cure, of the trouble.
The remedy seemed far TO seek.
After eliminating all unsanitary con-
ditions from the existing dairies, and
establishing others of like surround
ings, his next inquiry was the condi-
ton of the cows.
From sanitary statistics. through
the department of agriculture, he
learned that thirty per cent. of the
cattle of the state Of New York were
tuberlous.
This fact FASTENED him in testing
the dairy cows in the diaries con-
trolled by him.
Testing by injecting tuberculine, re-
vealed the fact that many of the COWS
were diseased with germs of tubercu-
losis, and they were destroyed.
This drastic move removed the
greatest danger to human health and
life. and left but the cleansing Of all
dairy surroundings from external
germ-breeding diseases.
To accomplish this last result, the
stalls were kept scrupulously clean,
the milk pals were steamed. and the
mouths of them covered with steril-
lied cheesecloth.
The milkman, with hands carefully
washed, poured milk through this
cloth under the supervision of q
health bureau man. the pail being then
carried to nearby shed, where the
sterilized bottles were filled.
Those in authority, in handling this
milk question, must have unlimited
power to regulate the operations in
and about dairfes, and to determine
the condition of the cows The au-
thorities at Washington have learned
by experimenting that no one cause
produces so much disease among
children as the use of milk from con-
taminated cows.
As dairyman for. years, the writer
learned the difference in the demand
for milk handled with clean hands
and that handled otherwise. Cleanli-
ness pays.

a Matter That
Should Be Explained.

The county commissioners can
sometimes, In the course of their
otherwise useful service to the pub
lie, do some very unusual and mex
plainable things.
One OF these instances occurred
Thursday night when the contract for
the burial OF the county paupers was
awarded. There were three bidders
for this contract and the bids stood,
respectively, $3.50, $500, and $3.50
per burial. The contract WAS award

standing another firm offered to do
the work for $3.50.
This matter ought to be explained.
The amount of money involved either
way Is Of course very small Escam.
bia county has very few paupers and
even what she has seldom die. Some
dimes q pauper comes here from some
other county or state and either dies
or gets accidentally killed, but q
death among our own paupers is the
exception rather than the rule.
Therefore the county undertaken
hasn't much to do and a difference OF
80 cents per head per burial will not
bankrupt the county whichever way
1t goes. It is not the amount Of
money, but the principle involved.

will regard in this matter.
Hf the county commissioners did
not intend to award this contract to
the lowest bidder, why did they re-
ceiye the bids? And II the commits

WHY NOT GUARANTEE -
BANK DEPoSITORS?
Desoto County News.

President Roosevelt, in his message
20 congress, now in session, recon-
mends that the United States, by ap-
propriate legislation, insure or guaran-
tee deposits in national banks Mr..
Bryan, in an interview, heartily en-
dorses this recommendation.
We are no statesman Or financier
We have no pet plan for correcting
any of the evils in any department
or national or state government We
elect our senators and representatives
to do this.
StiIl, few words about this matter.
1t is timely. Anything that tends to
help public confidence Is desirable.
The great business OF the nation and
world is done on credit. Confidence
or trust is the foundation of all credit
and commerce. When faith fails or
grows less in our fellow-man. or in our
institutions of commerce and finance.
the whole financial world feels it.
That Is what precipitates pan1cs.
Would not such legislation be de-
sirable? Most assuredly. Anything that
increases sublic confidence promotes
Investment and restricts the boarding
OF capital. Money in circulation helps
labor and enables investors to project
new enterprises. Prices rise for labor
when the demand is great. Banks are
the great financial agents Or mediums
for keeping, investing and handling
the currency OF the country If depos-
itors were guaranteed by the govern
ment, there would never be a run. -
People would realize that Uncle Sam
was behind the banks. They do not
want to keep money in the house or
buried in the field. Even now, with all
the bank failures and losses, the
money Is safer In the bank than at
home. investigations show that for
forty years the losses in national
banks have been less than one-tenth
of one per cent. That is less than one.
tenth OF one cent on the dollar. This
is a wonderful proof OF the solvency
and honesty of the great banking sys-
tenn and forces.
Yet what help 1t would be for the
government 10 guarantee against this
loss! 1t does seem that it would pay.
The losses from panics Is tremendous,
almost beyond calculation. A large
portion OF this would be prevented I'M
der legislation fnsurily deposits.
Someone may ask, would that be
fair to state and private banks? We
think so. Without loss to such banks
they could get the state to do like
wise as to insurance Of deposits. Some
sort of amendment might be had by
which these banks could get the ben
eft Of the laws for national concerns.
The craftsmanship of the country
can meet every crisis and con-
dition of our civil and political life.
While trying to get more elastic and
no less stable system of currency. let
our wise men study ever the matter
Of keeping intact public confidence.
In our opinion this insurance of de-
posts would be better than the postal
savings banks. At any rate. think OF
the recommendation of the president.
And. too. Mr.. Bryan endorses the plan.
