YOUNG MAN LEFT C0oPERS10WN new
YEARS DAY AND HAS NOT
BEEN seen SINCE.

Cooperstown, N. D., Jan. z Some
anxiety is felt concerning the where.
abouts of a young man by the name
OF Ed. Walls, who is supposed to
have started out in the country New
Years day bound for Ed. Niernberg's.
He is about 10 years old and wore a
derby hat, light weight overcoat and
no overshoes. Diligent search has
been made for him but up to this
time no trace of him can be found
and he has not been seen since. It is
possible for him to have got out of
town on train but if he did he went
without his suitcase which is at p. K.
Noes hotel, and he did not say
word to his sister, Miss Belle Wall,
who is assistant bookkeeper in Al.
best Larson's store. His home is in
Wisconsin. If he started out on that
day he has succumbed to the storm
as he could not face it and go very
far dressed as he was. Sheriff Knapp,
Otto Retzlaff and Charley Houghton
have searched the prairIes and in
quired of the farmers all through the
country but no trace of him can be
found. III

PRESIDENT TAFT 7''.
FIRES PlNCHOT|
ORDERED PlNCHErT REMOVED FROM
OFFICE SATURDAY WAS HEAD OF
FORESTRY DEPARTMENT r.

Washington, Jan. S.-Giftord Pin
chot, chief forester of the United
States, is private citizen today, ap-
parently unconcerned and smiling, in
great contrast to the political ferment
in which Washington finds itself.
The summary dismissal conveyed
last night in the presidents letter in
the closing lines: "By your own accord
you have destroyed your usefulness as
a helpful subordinate of the govern
ment and it therefore now becomes
my duty to direct the secretary Of ag-
riculture to remove you from your
Office as forester" has brought moth
ing from Mr.. Pinchot more than the
simplest statement: II would prefer
to say nothing at this time" g.. ~.
The effect of the removal of Pin
chot, personal friend of Theodore
Roosevelt and the head champion of
the Roosevelt conservation policy be-
ing ousted from the official family of
President Taft is the principal phrase
of the conjectures which fill the air.
The effect of the Pinchot dismissal
upon the congressional investigation
of Secretary Ballinger and the land
Office Is another. In the ominous
silence which fell on the whole situa-
ton following the first bang after the
cabinet meeting at the White House
yesterday afternoon, many of the
political forecasters see unmistakable
signs of great tempest within the
republican party. There is only one
conclusion upon which all are unani-a
nous. That is that there is a great
fight on hand, one which the presi-
dent has sought to avoid, for the
present at least, and in forcing it at
this time by the dismissal of Pinchot,
the presidents supporters maintain
that Taft has considered the probable
effects, and the consequence and has
decided to see it through. Within a
few minutes after the president had
instructed Secretary Wilson to re-
move Mr. sPinchot. from. Office, the
order had been carried out. Similar

p Williston,sr fifth bank, to ,be known
as the Farmers and Merchants bank
of ;WiNiston, opened it's doors to- the
public last Monday morning. The new

Chicago for over ten years.
The bank has received liberal pat
ronage since opening up and the pro-
prietors feel highly fartered with the
first few days business. As this is
the fifth bank in the city and all OF
them are quite busy it speaks well for
Williston and the surrounding coun-
try. .E 5...

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 7.-There will

of existing express rates in the state
will be taken up. The meeting will be

up by the commission yesterday and
will be put in shape and 60 to the SUI

will be pushed so that decision may
be rendered before the next session of
the legislature as the validity of the
law depends on the decision. .
Joint rates were ordered made out
of Grand Forks to points on the 500.
This makes a reduction of from 1 to s
cents per 100 pounds on first, second,

matter that has been before the board
for some time. A complaint was filed
alleging irregular charges by the Pull
man company for berths between
points in the state, charging that low

ing points
The board is short of money, the hi
ennial appropriation of $1,000 having
been more than exhausted. An appeal
to the emergency board showed that
the decision in the spoilers reward
case may have the effect of cutting off
help from this direction. The railroad
road commission has turned into the
state treasury for the year over $780,

TIE DAIRYMAN

Before beginning to milk | dip my
first finger and thumb III powdered
soapstone, says a dairyman. 1t makes
the teats soft and slippery and does
not draw flies and gnats like wetting
them. The soapstone can be purchas-
ed at shoe stores and harness shops.
To Cure Sucking Cows.
If you have Il COW that sucks itself
while in pasture put an old horse COZ
lar on her and buckle it snugly around
her neck 1t is not cruel. but is Ell
fective.
Profits In oairying.
The dairyman who says that dairy
ing does not pay is ten to one board
ing several cows of the poorer type.
AS sure as he uses the scales and test
and comes to know each cows produc-
ton he, like all others who have tried
it, will gradually change his herd to the
high producing kinds. The inevitable
result will be larger profit in his
business.
Points of a Good Cow.
There are five essential points that
should be observed in the selection Of
cows for the development of dairy
herd from common stock. First. look
for a COW with large and capacious
barrel. open and rather widely spaced
in the ribs. which should spring well
downward; second. look for evidences
of refinement AS seen in head inelin-
ing to long. Il neck long and slim, crops
somewhat sharp and limbs inclining
TO fine: third, look for lhe present evil
dences of good milk giving capacity;
fourth. look for evidences Of stamina
as indicated by good width through
the lower part of the chest, by an ac-
tive carriage and bright. full eyes;
fifth. favor the COW that has a nice.
soft hide and silky coat.
Handling the Bull.
The bull is a treacberous animal and
is never to he trusted. 1t may be ap-
parently mild. gentle and obedient one
hour AMI the personification Of wrath,
vindictiveness and stubbornness the
next hour. Moreover. like all other
animals. 1t soon learns its power and
ability. The first principle to be APP
piled I'm the training of bull Is never
to give it an opportunity to overpower
or outwit it's caretaker. To this end
begin the training while yet a calf.
Teach 1t to lead and never in sport or
otherwise permit the bull 10 have its
own way. Do not attempt to dri
or corner bull. for 1t will soon lea /
that 1t can dodge and go where it
pleases. and this lesson once learned is
not forgotten.

WHAT REFORM" COSTS DAY COUNTY

We wish to ask our Day county read
ers to carefully compare the figures in
the above table and see what they are
paying for reform" The total ex-
pense to the taxpayers of Day county
during the two years of Elrod's admin
istration was $31, 1859, and large
percentage of this sum was used in
paying up Indebtedness and paying for
improvements upon the various state
institutions. In the next two years,
under Crawford, we find that reform"
increased the cost to the vast sum of
S38, 53l.09. In other words Coe /.
Crawford's administration of the affairs
Of South Dakota cost the people of Day
county $7,130.50 more thar that of
Elrod's, and at the same time the
Performers" spent hundreds of thOus-
ands of dollars which are represented
by our state debt and which will have
to be paid in the future. A reasonable
person would naturally suppose that
such an increase in the expense to our
taxpayers would have weGned them
away from the reform" party and
driven them back to safe and sane bust
ness methods. Lincoln said: "You can
fool part of the people all the time, all
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1910-04-07

of the people part of the time, but you
cannot fool all the people all the time. y
The first two clauses of Mr.. Lincoln S
remark have been proven beyond the
question of a doubt in Day county. Our
people were fooled into voting for
Crawford and again into supporting
Vessey, but we believe that when it is
shown to them that Mr.. Vessey' s
administration of the affairs of the
state has cost them $50, OATS for one
year, or within 81, 450.81 of what
Elrod's administration cost the county
for two years, they will no longer listen
to the trump cries of "Cannonism, -
bugaboos of railroad Hobbies and the
songs of the insurgents that the stall
warts would destroy the educational,
penal and charitable institutions of the
state should they secure the state gov
eminent.
When the votes in the primaries to
be held in this county in June are
counted there will be an overwhelming
majority against the extravaganza of
the Performers" for the past three
years and will be proven that ''you can
not fool all the people all the time"

Apropos of this subject. the Cyclope-
dia of American Agriculture, by N. S.
Mayo and Ii. w. Mumford. Macmil
Ian company, publishers, says:
Light is best admitted from above
and behind the animal. An excellent
method of admitting light is by means
Of the Sherringham window. The win
dow is hinged at the bottom and opens
inward at the top and serves for ven
tilation as well as light. Abundance
Of light for stables is important by
CHEMICALLY. as direct sunlight destroys
many germs, is a good drying agent
and adds cheerfulness that is great

STABLE VENTILATION,
A Striking Illustration Of the Value OF
Pure Air.


Pure Air.
An enthusiastic dairyman recently
said that when his stock was tested
for tuberculosis only one animal re-
acted. Others that had been standing
near her for several months passed
the test without shade of suspicion.
The one that reacted was just an
ordinary COW, and she was speedily
segregated from the herd Those
standing near her were valuable
grades or pure breds. and it is a won
der that they had not caught the dis
ease by virtue Of the fact that they
stood so close to the reacting animal
In the stable.
This man said that he placed the
whole credit of this upon his system
Of ventilation. He uses a modified
King system. and, while his barn is
not new or modern, he is able to keep
the air pure at all times without chill
ing the cows or causing them any dis
comfort. He said that the ventilator
did not cost him over $40. and he felt
sure that it had saved him hundreds
of dollars worth Of valuable stock.
Here is striking illustration Of the
value of ventilation. A farmer hest
tates to provide his cattle with pure
air by the approved method. and as a
result he finds that one or two affected
animals are able to pass the disease
on to those upon which he may not
care to name a price. tuberculosis is
no respecter Of breed or blood. 1t az
fects the cow whose system offers the
most successful home for the bacilli.
Stables should also be well lighted
and so arranged that the light will not
strike the animals directly in the eyes.
