Anent Government BUILDING

The gratifying news comes to the
Leader, that officials in the treasury de-
partment at Washington have of late
made inquiries, relative to the water
supply in this city, the sewerage system
and gas and electric accommodations,
information necessary to be known be-
fore drafting the plans and drawing the
specifications for the new government
building to be erected at the corner of
Second and Madison streets From the
best information attainable, it is quite
probable that bids will be asked for in
the near future for the erection of the
building and work actually begun be-

Revival Meeting Notes

The revival services at the First Meth
odlst church are IN full swing. The
current is on and the voltage is high.
Dehnlteness and thorOughness are lead
ing characteristics of the work. Miss
Catfray rOundly discounts the man who
tries to serve God on the DEVILS plat
form. Services each evening at 7:SO
o'clock and on Sunday from 10 a. m. to
1Op. m. Come and inspect our work.
In speaking on the, test in the fourth
chapter of Exodus, .Isreal is nv son.
even my first born, and I say unto thee,
Let my son go that he may serve me-"
The evangelist held that many boast
that they trust God whom God can't
trust. That God holds us accountable
for what we might have known. That
the most miserable being is he who tries
to serve God on the DEVILS platform.
That as no one ever ate apple pie with
out apples in it, so no one ever lived the
Christian life without Christ formed
within him. That the greatness of
Moses craftsmanship was in the thor
Oughness of the liberation Of his conn
trymen from bondage.
Rev. H. e Kafer of Fall River, and
Rev. S. 0. Olson of Juneau. were down
Wednesday to attend the meeting.

Menace to Public Welfare

In its efforts to protect the innocent
public against the insidious effects OF
preparations containing drugs injurious
TO health, the e. S, department Of Agrl-
culture has issued another Farmers
Bulletin treating on the subject so
nearly connected with public health.
Farmers Bulletin 377, The Harmful
ness of Headache Mixtures, was issued
in September, 1909, and 10000 copies
have been distributed to those inter
ested in the subject; now Farmers Bull
letin No. 1893, Habit-Forming Agents;
Their Indiscriminate Sale and Use a
Menace to the Public Welfare, giving
the results Of recent Investigations by
the department, has just been issued as
a warning to mothers, inValids and
users of medicated soft drinks, Of the
dangerous contents of many of the in
fant syrups, so-called remedies, and soft
drinks containing cOcajn, caffein, etc.
1t is almost unbelievable thot any one
for the sake Of few dollars would con-
coct for infant use pernicious mixture
containing cOcain, but several such mix
lures have been found and their names
published, together with list of rema-
dies intended for infants and containing
morphine, cOcain, opium, cannabis in
dica, herOin, which are widely adver-
tised, and are accompanied by the asser
ton that they contain nothing inju-
ri0us to the youngest babe" and that
"mOthers need not fear giving them as
no bad effects come from their contin-
ued use." while as a matter of fact nu-
merOus instances are on record of babies
being put to sleep never to wake again.
or, where they did not succumb, the
more serious effects Of infant drug ad-
diction was produced.
Yet the majority of mothers ignorant
OF these facts continue the use Of these
pOiSOns which at least must undoubtedly
leave their impression on the delicate
organisms of infants and induce tenden-
cits which may develop into the evil
habit of drug addiction.
The bulletin contains a list with a
photograph of the 'original packages
of some of the soft drinks containing
caffein and cola leaf extracts, to which
it is net uncommon to fihd persons ad-
dicted. 1t also mentions some OF the
harmful nOstrums advertised as cures
for asthma, catarrh, cold, coughs, con-
sumption, epilepsy and the tobacco
habit, and states that some physicians
in their prescriptions in treating these
diseases and in attempting to cure the
drug habit" itself, often prescribe the
very remedies that have produced the
conditions which it is proposed to re-
lieve.
This bulletin can be secured by writ
ing to the Secretary of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c., to any Senator, Rep
resentative or Delegate in Congress, or
it can be purchased from the Superin-
tendent of Documents, Government
,, Printing office, Washington, D. c., at five

Board OF Education Organizes

At the first meeting of the newly
elected board of education Wednes-
day night, James w. Moore was unan-
imously reelected president of that
body. The rules of the preceding
year were adopted and the following
standing committees were announced
by the president:

Commissioner Voss offered a resolu-
tion changing the date of holding
the annual school picnic to Thursday
of the last school week. instead Of
Friday as previously. He said he had
been lmpOrtuned to have it changed,
etS previously luO plCulC Oh uduy DC
casions was spoiled by rain, but an
other and more cogent reason was
that Thursday gave all the chill
dren a chance to thoroughly enjoy
the pleasures of the day without any
interference with their religious
scruples. The date was unanimously
changed. This will bring the gram
mar grades commencement on Tues
dayand High school commencement
on Wednesday, or one day earlier.
A resolution passed authorizing the
clerk to notify all present teachers to
send in their applications not later
than the next regular meeting of the
board, June /.
When the question of the election
of a superintendent came up, Mr.. VOss
asked that it be delayed to an ad-
journed meeting, as Mr.. Roseman was
not in the city and it was understood
that he was considering two other
propositions and would decide within
a few days. The matter of salary and
election was deferred to an adjourned
meeting to be held May 16.
The salary of the clerk was raised
from $3.50 to $500 and G. R. Field was
unanimously reelected.

Private Telephones

The Devoe private telephone system
has been installed in the Brandt
Dent factory in First street. The work
was done by Frank Petro of this city,
who has installed several systems
here, but the Devoe, he says, is the
latest and most perfect. The system
is intercommunicating and has eight
stations but the cable has capacity
of twenty stations, SO that it Will
meet the requirements OF the plant
for some time to come.

Effects of Freeze Not Known

1t Will probably be some days be-
lore the full effects of. the late freeze
to the plant beds will become known
says the Edgerton Tobacco Reporter.
mat some serious damage has been
sustained is certain where the plants
were well advanced and especially
ID localities where the snow fall was
not blanket protection. When the
temperature drops to or 10 degrees
below the freezing point young, ten
der plants are pretty sure to suffer,
and this was the record Of thermom-
eters, throughout the tobacco growing
sections Of the state. But a good
J1any growers held back the sowing
OF seed beds until they were beyond
danger of this character. Where the
plants have just begun to show on the
beds the protection afforded by the
snow may save them, and again where
they were not yet up there is still hope
the beds are not injured. What pro-
portion Of the plant beds come under
these last mentioned conditions can
not yet be told and it is nowise likely
that many paintings have been lost.
1t is singular coincidence that the
young tobacco plants just coming up
will stand harder freeze now than
any time later in their existence.
Though plants once frosted are slow
about recovering the shock and fresh
planted seed usually beat them to the
transplanting date. However, to be
on safe ground it might be well for
growers to at once prepare additional
sprouted seed. With ordinary weather
conditions there is abundant time yet
to secure plants from new seeding in
time for the averag transplanting.
Matters are getting back to normal
conditions again after one of he most
severe late springs storms that ever
visited this latitude. The blizzard of
the 23d and oath accompanied by a
foot of snow and heavy freezes
covered the entire west, and at first
was thought to have done irreparable
damage. But it is now believed that
the tobacco beds in the southern
growing sections have escaped with
DuC uILle Injury, anu WARM growing
weather has returned.
The movement of taking over the
remnants of last seasons crop has
Stacked away somewhat owing to the
storm and bad condition of the country
roads, but former prices prevail where
t. aGing is dotse. There arc plenty 3F
chances for Improvement in the mar
ket in cured leaf. The only important
sale Of the week reaching us is a
500 case lot of '07 from the John Brand
packing of Evansville, said to have
been made for the account of a branch
Of the big trust. A. Jenson & Sons
bought an eighty-six case lot of '06 of
Mrs. ]. H. Iverson.
The work of the packing centers is
progressing as rapidly as possible
under short help conditions, but ware
house handling will continue for some
weeks yet
The shipments of storage reach 525
cases from this market to all points
for the past week. Since last report

VIII throw out strong sprouts, Nv
driving stakes around these trees ar
Otherwise protecting, and giving high
culture, buds will come during the
growing season. You may have sew
eral twigs to feet, even feet high.
1t is better to pinch back the undesira-
Bile tWigs and give the best sprout the
lead. In the next springs pruning
all can be cut off but one sprout. This
might even work on trees three to four
years of age, but there would be more
loss than on one to two year old trees.
Trees three to four years or older
can be saved by bridge grating. This
consists of cutting scions or twigs of
any desirable variety, usually whips a
foot or more in length, and keeping
them in cool place until growth has
begun in the spring. Then use these
for bridge grating. AS soon as the
bark will slip, or even before it will
slip easily, cut cross slit or both a
vertical and cross slit in the bark near
the edge of the wound, one above and
one below the space stripped of bark.
Then having cut the scions slightly
longer than this space, slip the ends
into the Sits and wax thoroughly and
tie. 1t is desirable to use, on six-inch
tree, six scions for bridging over the
injured spot
You will get some idea of grating
from Farmers Bulletin No. 113, a CODY
of which l take pleasure in sending
you under separate cover, but most of
this grating is of different kinds. The
scions should be cut like "a in 2 on
