SouANpERING THEIR CAPITAL.

The supreme folly in the world of
finance or the realm of physical health
is the spending of, the living on. capt.
tai instead of the dividends from capt.
tai
Yet that is the indictment brought
against the providers of America, the
farmer in north, south, east and west
by The Washington Post, that also
backs up it's charges with irrefutable
logic.
While the arraignment is directed
specifically against the producers of our
foodstuffs, it can apply in as unanswer.
able degree to the several million
southerners who supply the world with
its one Indispensable crop of cotton.
Here is the analysis of The Post, and
it is so forceful and convincing as to
commend itself to every farmer who
thinks in the terms of tomorrow as
well as those of today:
"The American farmer has been lv.
ing on his capital for centuries and
even at this advanced period he grows
one blade of grass where he should
grow ten. That wheat at $l2O a
bushel was grown on land that with
the same labor should have yielded
three bushels for every on it did yield,
and the same is true in even greater
degree of every other grain crop.
Beef cattle command seven cents on
the hoof, simply because soil, that with
intelligent and povident management
would produce meat and bread for mil
lions, is allowed to grow limitless crop
of noXious or worthless weeds that
steal from the farmer his capital-fer-
tility.
"There should be in American farm
yards ten hens and ten broods of chick
ems where one hen and chickens now
have to scratch for a precarious liv-
ing. Where case of eggs should be
sent to market, dozen eggs are sent
to feed the despised and ignominious
consumer" An artificial condition has
been brought about that makes thrift
less farming profitable. 1t will not long
prevail. And the farmer will wake up
some fine day to realize that his acres
are too broad and his tillage too SLOW
emily. Half the seeds planted are de-
fective, and possibly fourth of them
impotent.
'We want better farmers and better
farming" r>
Unremitting campaigning by newspa.
pers, the establishment of innumerable
agricultural schools and experiment sta
lions, have mitigated, but not removed,
the practice of wanton prodigality with
regard to soil uses
There is no possible question that the
soil today in cultivation is not re.
turning fractional part of it's maxi
mum and regular dividends.
In sporadic instances, one can cite
amazing examples for enterprising
farmers persuading their acres into law
ish fertility. Such cases are so excep-
tional as to excite wondering comment,
when the exact reverse should be the
rule
Not until the farmer harkens to the
business wisdom of conserving his cap
ital will the north or the south BEGIN
to arrive at their agricultural and in
dustrial possibilities.

NO EPIDEMIC OF RABIES.

A gentleman in this city who is in
terested in dogs to the extent of be-
ing their friend under any and all
circumstances, calls our attention to
an article which appeared in The Min
neapolis Journal a few days ago. This
article relates to dogs and rabies and
contends that dogs are not afflicted
with rabies as much as people think
they are Dogs that act peculiarly
in dog days are not usually mad, but
just irritated by the not weather, like
human beings, according to the ply
sicians i'm charge of the Minnesota Pas
tem institute, who say there is no
epidemic of rabies.
The police receive many requests
daily to have the muzzling order put
into operation and there are many re-
ports of rabid dogs. An investigation,
however, usually proves the dog is
overheated or sick. Others still adj
here to the dog days theory and think
all CANNES should be tied or muzzled
in August. So far the average num-
Der of actual cases of rabies has been
low and the muzzles will not be order
ed unless conditions become more seri-
Gus.

self often responsible for their pecul-
lar actions, according to those in charge
of the pasteur institute. Dogs often
run until nearly exhausted or over
come with the heat. Then they are
cross and irritable Under these con-
ditions the most affectionate animal
will often bite if he is bothered. There
have been on the average about six
applications daily for the pasteur treat
ment, but treatment is not given in
many of the cases. Where the dog
that inflicted the wound is living he is
locked up and watched. If he lives
week it is proof he was not afflict-
ed with rabies when he did the biting.
If the dog disappears or is killed no
chances are taken and the victim gets
the treatment.
Twenty-Five persons are now taking
the treatment. All of them have been
bitten, but only in few cases was
there positive proof that the animals
were rabid. Some of the patients are
just beginning the treatment, which
lasts twenty-one days, and others are
just finishing it. 1t has been the ex-
perience in Minnesota that there are
more rabid dogs in cold weather than
in the summer and the condition is
true this year. There is no alarming
conditions, say the physicians.

IN MEMORIAM.

Blair, Wis, Press: A wave of sor-
row broke over this community as the
sad tidings spread among us that Mrs.
F. NJ. Immell had passed away. For in
her death each felt the loss of a warm
personal friend. fg1g sI7Tr a'rr
Anna Storley was born at Tellemar-
ken, Norway, Nov. 81. 1888. At the
age of nine years she came to this
country, with her parents, settling at
Waterford, Wis. In 1856 she came to
Black River Falls, and at that place,
May %, 1858, was united in marriage
to Francis NJ. Immell, who still sur
wives her. Nine children were born to
this union. They are Mrs. l.. j. Lee
of MankatO, Mimi, Elmer L., Mrs. H.
l.. DeBow, Mrs. w. p. DeBow, Omer
F., Daisy B. of this village, and Mrs.
H. T. Hanson of Doran, Mimi, all of
end came. Helen and an infant daugh-
ter died some years ago. The de-
ceased leaves two brothers, h 0.
Storley of Blair, and o. o. Storley of
Tacoma, Wash.
In the year 1858 Mr.. and Mrs. I'm
nell moved to Alma Center, and later
in 1865 coming to Preston. For the
past thirty-two years they have resid-
ed in this village.
Mrs. Immell's death took place at
the family home Wednesday, Aug. IL.
1909. The funeral was held from the
United Lutheran church Saturday, Aug.
Ia, 1909. Rev. Chalfant of Whitehall
and Rev. Gulbrandson of Blair Off.
ciating The large number in attend
ance, and the beautiful floral tribute
gave evidence of the high esteem and
affection in which the deceased was
held Many sorrowing friends followed
the remains to their last resting place,
which had been beautified for their
reception.
AS we saw her peacefully asleep, and
resting from her labors we felt thank
full that so many years of her beauti-
full life have been spent in our midst
Her uprightness and sterling qualities
of character, her gentle and devoted
home life have left behind an infu-
ence for good, that will long be felt in
this community. Though the bow is
broken, the arrow is sped, and will do
its office. AS friends passed the casket
every face bore testimony to the sor-
row within, for the loss of one whose
life had been standard of emulation
to her friends and family.
Mrs. Immell was a noble woman, a
woman who won the respect, admira
ton and affection of all with whom
she came in contact. But though she
had many friends. She was quiet, and
retiring in disposition, hence it was
within the home circle, where the full
beauty of her character Sshone in its
perfection. A wife, mother in the
fullest, grandest sense of the. word, her
life has been one of nntiring effort,
and unselfish devotion to those who
were near and dear to her. "a per-
feet woman, nobly planned, to warn,
to comfort and command"
Of what her loss means to her fam
lily we cannot. speak. 1t is too sacred
precinct for rs to enter. While with
aching hearts and loving hands we
have tenderly laid the earthly temple
to rest, we feel that Cod in his infinite
wisdom has but called dear one
home to higher and grander plane
of existence-to reward her life so
richly deserves. Sweet be- thy. ,fest.
The sineerest sympathy of neighbors
and ] townspeopies is extended to the
bereaved family.
