MONEY TO BURN.
How Long Is Fire to Be Regarded as
 Necessary Evil"

'FIow long shall we, as nation, con- tinue to make good the vulgar boast that we have money to burn?' asks Samuel Hopkins Adams of Everybody s readers in his article Burnt Money" in the January number. Surely we have, with our billion dollars given to flame and smoke in the past ten years sui fciently established our primacy in waste fulness The idea has taken too firm a hold upon us that fire is necessary evil A loathsome aIIocution, that. A responsibility shifting lie, paralleling the dsipensation of Providence dodge. But America in this age of growing thought fulness and analysis, Is beginning to exhibit symptoms of nausea over its necessary evils and haply, in the pro- gress of time, this overwhelmingly de- structive and costly one of fire and vast age may go over the lee rail into the ocean of oblivion, together with such others of its kind as industrial murder tuberculosis and typhoid. and rotten politics"

A Great Fight

Every other day e a sanatorium,
association, or dispensary for the treat
ment or prevention of tuberculosis estab-
ilshed in this country, is a statement
issued today by the National Associa-
ton for the study and prevention of
tuberculosis. During the months of
September and October, 16 associations,
10 sanatoria, and S dispensaries were
started or provided for in the United
States, making a record of achievement
in anti-tuberculosis activity never before
equalled in any country of the world.
The stimulus for this wave of philan-
thropic endeavor has been derived largely
from the recent International Congress
on tuberculosis.
From one end of the country to the
other. men and women of all ranks and
classes, are rising up to fight in the
battle against tuberculosis. Including
the recently formed societies, there are
at the present time. 211 associations for
the study and prevention of tuberculosis
in the United States, with a total men,
bership of over 20, 900. all engaged in
an active wal on consumption. Never
before in the history of the country. has
such an army been massed to fight
against disease. And, with the present
rate of increase sustained, it is esti-
mated that the army will be doubled in
size within a year.

MORE cREAMERIEs
Assistant Dairy Commissioner
Flint Trying to Interest Het-
finger County Farmers in
Dairying.
ESPECIAL FROM NEW England"

A very successful creamery meeting
was held here on Tuesday afternoon I'M
der the direction of Assistant Dairy
Commissi Toner Flint of New Salem. The
dairy question has been pretty generally
agitated in this locality for the past few
months and Mr.. Flint was sent here to
present the actual proposition to the
farmers. There was a good attendance
and his remarks were listened to with a
great deal of interest.
Mr.. Flint put the plain facts to them
and cited the conditions in New Salem
where several creameries have made
some of the most successful farmers in
the state.
The advantage of having cash coming
in every month and to furnish employ
ment on the farm during the winter
months are great advantages. Hettinger
county is a livestock country, but there
are only S, 900 cattle in the country and
but very few of this number are MIXED.
The cos of a creamery would be from
$500 to 81, 500. The matter of building
a cooperative creamery is not as diff
cult as to get the farmers started in the
procuring and milking dairy cows. Other
speakers were A. B. Doran, an Inter-
national Harvester Co. man, and H. r.
Folscroft of Dickinson, who had seen
creameries established and developed to
the benefit of the farmers. The latter
mentioned the Dickinson creamery.
organized last spring. as an example.
The discussion was followed by a bust
ness meeting and a committee of five
was appointed to interview the farmers
as to how many cow would be MIXED,
how much stock would be taken and to
ascertain just how much real interest
would be taken in the establishment of
a creamery. This committee will make
a report at the next meeting to be held
Saturday, November %.
Mr.. Flint left Wednesday morning to
assist at creamery meetings in Alden
and Mott, good dairy localities in Het-
finger county.

 This action was taken after Dr. Reynolds. who is a former Ohio man, and who has resided in Honduras for fifteen years. made an Investigation of the recent raid of some Honduren soldiers upon the ranch of pr Timo- teo Miraida. a lawyer, who is an exile from his native land on account of his having taken a leading part in the revolution against President Davilla in July. 1908.
 Dr. Reynolds is the American con- sui whose evequateur was taken by the Honduran President last August on account Of his alleged participation in an attempt to make Ceiba surren- der to the insurgent forces. He was exonerated of that charge, and the Washington government, in sustaining his action, demanded that his exequa- teur be returned to him.
 pr. Reynolds in a letter he wrote to the State Department said that a state of anarchy and misrule existed in Honduras which Is almost inde- acrIbable. He detailed number of instances in which the Honduran of ficiais and Boldiers had piliaged the homes of persons of the lower class, but he said that after a full investi- eation of the lEiralda outrage. he be- lieved that was the worst thing com mitted in recent years.

 From the above 1t is seen that White man is getting better and better every year. Last year he had 21 more runs, 20 more hits, more sacrifice hits and 80 more stolen bases than he did in 1907. In fielding he had 54 more put outs, more assists. (62 more chances) and one more error in 3 more games than he had in 1907.
 Now Mobile is anxious for Reagan and they want to trade Daly for him. Daly Is a good man and one of the fastest outfielders In the Southern League but there are a couple of very him. One is that he is just about the same all the year, neither going for ward nor backward and while he is pretty fast on the paths and does some phenomenal stunts out in the left gar den he Is not a hard hitter and with possibly one or two exceptions he has about the poorest wing in the league.
 Between Steve Reagan and Jud Daily there is hardly any comparison-ad- hitting that Daly is the fastest field CT ofe.the two, Reagan easily outhIts him, And at that Daly is hardly any faster base runner than Reagan. for Steve was some base runner himself and then again he has far better arm than sDalY. From the radical improve ment in his all-round work shown by Sis Hopkins towards the last of the season the chances are that he will be better next year than either Reagan or Daily could ever be.
 Of course if there is a chance to get hold of a better man than Hopkins or Daly it will be done, for President Chambers and Ed Greminger are out to have gang that will finish 1, 2. 3, in September, 1909. Charlie Frank is try ing to get hold of Reagan, but as the Dutchman has nothing that Montgom- cry would want in a tra i he will simp- ly have to dig down for the $500 if he wants the outfieIder.
 it all sinners down to this-Reagan is just as sure to be sold or traded as the sun shines. but as to who will get hfff ss another question. An outhelder composed of Archie Persons. Sis Hop kinS and Whiteman doesn't look so shabby. and if Whiteman. shows up in the form that he has been doped out there will be about seven outffeiders in the league In 1909 below the class of the Montgomery combination.
 Whiteman is the. property of the Portland club now and within the next few days the Reagan-Whitem2n mat ter will be settled.

Looks Like SteUe Reagan Is on
 the Market For A Neat Price

Steve Reagan is in< great demand, three class A clubs being hot after the hard hitting right fielder of Grem- inger's> 1908 Climbers.
 At the meeting of the National Asso- citation in Chicago last week it win be remembered that The Advertiser printed telegram from Bill Stickney to President Chambers Stickney's tel egram asking for price on Reagan was the result of an effort that Judge Walter McCreadY, owner of the Port land, Oregon, team in the Pacific Coast League, made to bay that player. When Stickney told McCready that Montgom- cry would take $500 for Reagan the Portland man did not say anything definitely but Stickney says that he talked in such a way as to lead one to believe that he would willingly cough up the $500
 Both Reagan and McCready were at the Chicago meeting and they had sev- era1 long talks. It seems that some the Portland club but for some reason he refused to go out there. Last sea- son Harry Vaughn succeeded in get ting Reagan and in the middle Of the season Jimmy Ryan traded Noah Hen line for him. Now. that there is an- other chance to get hold of him Me Cready Is working everything that he knows in order to- land him. and it is not impossible that Reagan will be with Portland in 1909.
 In Chicago McCready offered to trade Whiteman to MontgomeFy for Reagan. That deal Is in the air and it would not be al all surprising if something comes out of it. For the last three years whiteman has been an outfielder in the Texas League and every year except 1907 has ranked up among the leaders of that league in batting, base running and fielding. In 1906 he was with Cleburne, Texas, and while Criss who led the American League in bat ting during the season just closed led the Texas league in batting that year Whiteman really led for he played in twice as many games as Criss and had double the number of hits of the lat ter.
 Triss Speaker who set this league on fire last summer with Mike Finn'S aggregation was in the Texas League that yesx but Whiteman outbatted him 2 to | Local fans may form some estimate of Whiteman from the fol- lowing:
