other relatives left to mourn her

Just a week prior to her death she re-

services were held at the home and

HOW MUCH is ENOUGH?

Former President Roosevelt and his
attorney general had outlined what
constituted whisky. The public gen
orally was quite satisfied with their
verdict. President Taft, however, has
enlarged the scope of the definition.
Realizing that all whisky is good, but
that some is better than others, he
has included it all in the general
term, but provides for methods of des-
ignating the various grades according
to the way in which they are made.
lie says that whisky made of neutral
spirits is whisky when reduced to
potable strength. And there is where
the public needs help. Most any man
can tell whisky when he tastes it.
What is required is some one who will
determine when is potable strength.
Some men take theirs clear, some take
water in ii and some take water after
it. Each is trying in his own bungling
fashion to settle the problem of potable
strength. To be sure, what is stronG
enough for one may be too strong for
another. But that is no reason why
the government should not set the
seal of approval upon what science
may demonstrate to be the strength
best suited to the general requirements
of the human system. Having Off
cially informed his countrymen as to
what is whisky, it is now the duty of
the president to let them know how
much is enough.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.

a national antitrust league has been
formed, and the people of the country
will be urged to b colt those cOmbina-
tons which are responsible for the
increased cost OF living. The idea is
an excellent one in theory, but il
would hardly work ont in practice.
How can the people Of the country
boycott the Standard Oil company or
a number of Other trusts which con
troll the entire product in their line
The remedy lies with congress, and
the people can do more effective ser
vice by %boycotting those lawmakers
who do not favor antitrust legislation.

has issued a bulletin showing the work
that has been lone to fight the white
plague during the past year. over
eight million dollcrs was expended in
the distribution Of literature and the
treatment Of consumptives, who mum
bered over one hundred Thousand. Al
though much was accomplished the
past year, the association expects that
double the amount of money will be
expended in the fight during the com

We like the demonstration farm
scheme in vogue in North Dakota.
Enterprising farmers i'm various sec
tons of the state. in consideration
OF a small amount of additional help
furnished by the state enter into an
agreement to do certain demonstra-
ton work In agriculture under the d.
rection of the agricultural college.
By this method these demonstrations
are brought within the observation
OF all the farmers. The expense to
the state is very slight; vastly less
than the expense of maintaining ev-
pertinent stations. South Dakota should
hook into the proposition.-Canton

The towns i'm this state seem to
be having hard luck in their fight on
the telephone trust. Vermillion last
week lost It's suit in the United States
court, In which it asked for an i%njunc-
ton to prevent the Northwestern tele-
phone company from maintaining a
system in that town, and during the
past few months Huron and Mitchell
have lost similar cases. The only way
out of the difficulty seems to be for
the different towns to follow Brook
ings' lead and acquire their own pub
lie service plants.

The Farmers State bank has re-

banking consisting of counters,
ratings and screens and has just
got it in place which makes it a very
handsome and convenient banking
room. They have got a good substan-

safe that insures the safe keeping of
the cash. They also have a conven-
lent room in front, screened off from
the interior, where the president or
cashier can be consulted and also a
private waiting rOom in the real for
private business with their customers.
The floor of the main entrance is
covered with tile or stone and all be-
