DAMAGED MEAL IS
FOUND IN STATE
STATE CHEMIST HAS MADE Ex.
ANIMATION OF SAMPLES FROM
SEVERAL PLACES.
ITS RELATION To PELLAGRA
An Investigation is Being Made by
State Department of Agriculture
Commissioner Watson May Seize
stuff-Report Just Reached Him.

Columbia-"It is noteworthy that
the worst goods are found being sold
in localities in the state where the
disease Of pellagra is most prevalent
and has proven more fatal than else
where" This statement was made by
Commissioner Watson in announcing
that a chemical examination of corn
meal drawn from the market in II
cities of the state had shown the
meal in majority of cases to be
extremely dangerous to man and
beast.
"The first preliminary laboratory
reports on samples of corn meal drawn
officially from the open market in
IL cities and towns in the state were
filed with me-" said Mr.. Watson.
"In not g single case has a sample
come up to the standard of fitness for
either human or animal consumption.
In some instances the toXidity runs
so high as to make the stuff eX-
tremely dangerous. The results of
the scientific examinations show that
the meal was either made from rot
ten corn, the sale Of which we would
not have permitted in this state for
animal feed, or else the meal has
spoiled since it was ground and put
upon the market. We only began to
touch this corn meal and grits situa-
ton a few weeks ago, and l have
been satisfied from the evidence we
had obtained in connection with our
work with whole grain corn that we
would find the very conditions indi-
Gated by the reports filed. 1t is note
worthy, also, that the worst goods
are found being sold in localities in
the state where the disease of pellagra
is most prevalent, and has grown more
fatal than elsewhere.
81 can not say exactly what course
will be pursued in dealing with this
condition of affairs, as the reports
have only just reached me. 1t is
not unlikely that you will hear of a
number of seizures, however, in short
order.

MAY TAKE ACTION ON MILL
Solicitor Cobb Has Reached Decision
in case-Will Refer Matter to the
Grand Jury Next Term.

Columbia Solicitor Cobb said that
he had reached a decision with refer
ence to bringing suit to abolish the
hosiery mill at the state penitentiary.
He was instructed several weeks ago
to institute proceedings in the Rich
land county court by the governor to
abolish what the chief executive term
ed Common nuisance" Since that
time he has had the matter under
consideration.
What action will you take in the
matter?" Solicitor Cobb was asked.
II will make an announcement at
the proper time" was his reply. it
is generally believed that Solicitor
Cobb will submit the entire matter to
the Richland county grand jury at
the next term of court and ask that
a thorough investigation of the mill
be made.
The board of directors refused to
abolish the mill because they found
that the mill was not death trap as
stated. The state board of health
found that it had no right to abolish
the mill.

AN ATTEMPT To
Win THE WEST
PRESIDENT TAFT is TO LEAVE IN
A SHORT TIME ON A LONG
TOUR OF THE COUNTRY.
is TO MAKE MANY SPEECHES
Trip is to Overcome Opposition to His
denomination in the States Denoml-
mated by Progressive Republicans
To Take Rest Before Trip.

Washington.-Plans for President
Taft's coming trip through the West
and to the Pacific Coast practically
were completed. The journey will be
almost as extensive as that taken by
the President on his famous Swing
around the circle" in 1909, when he
travelled more than $4,000 miles and
visited thirty-three States. He will
break ground for the Panama canal ex-
position at San Francisco, make sew
eral score of addresses and attempt to
scale the $4,000 feet of Mount Raing-
ers precipitous slope.
According to the present arrange
ment, the President will be gone six
weeks. In that time, it is expected
that he will make close to two hun
dred speeches, from platforms, from
the rear end of his private car and
at other places not on the regular
schedule. Republican leaders look up
on the trip as the most important po-
litically that the President has mapped
out since re-entered the White House.
He will go through all the states in
the West in which they recognize the
domination of the progressive Repub-
licans who are counted on to oppose
his denomination next year.
With adjournment of Congress prac-
tically assured for this week the Pres
ident feels that he can get three weeks
rest at Beverly and be in trim then to
stand the admittedly hard grind Of
forty days on private car.
The President probably will leave
Beverly September II returning East
about November 1. He will go West
through Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Col
orado and Navada to the coast. Most
of the big cities in the states including
Des Moines, Kansas City, Omaha, Den
yer and Salt Lake will be visited but
the plans for the trip contemplate
stops at scores of smaller places as
well. From California the President
will go north to Portland and Seattle.
Three days are to be spent in Wash
ington State and the route eastward
will allow him to stop in Idaho, Mon
tana, the Dakotas and Minnesota.

WEBsTER's BLUE COATS.
His Liking For the Color came From
His Early Homcspun Suits.

color was indigo blue.

about the uses of butternut bark ana
the subtle power for slate color that
lay in the sumac berries and bark OF
white maple and were not unacquaint-
ed with the various dyes that root and
flower. bark and leaf could be made to
yield through the agency of vitrlol ana
alum and copperas to set" them fast.
the universal standby in New England
was the blue pot. par excellence the
dye pot" that stood in the chimney
corner Of every kitchen in that region.
So Webster was fitted out in indigo
blue from collar to ankle. Before
reaching Hanover there came on one
of iLvse drenching rains that wet a
man to the skin. The suit held its own.
but it parted with enough dye to tinge
Daniel blue from head to foot.
Webster had a liberal stratum OF
sentiment in his mental makeup. and
for some reason the color Of his young
manhood remained his favorite wear
through life. He wore blue coats to his
dying day. If any one ever saw him

not been made Of record-Exchange.

Where are you going to get your
seed corn for the 1912 planting?
This is question that confronts many
North Dakota corn growers, who grew
good crop in 1911, and several hun
dred prospective corn growers, who
have as yet grown no corn in North
Dakota.
There is practically no good corn
produced in North Dakota the past
season to be had at any price because
the fall weather was quite wet and
growers failed to pick their seed corn
as they should have done before the
zero weather of November first. This
exceptionally low temperature when
the corn was wet, though fully ma
tured, has in many cases completely
killed the seed. In other cases fifty
per cent is still good seed and in en-
ce3tional cases seventy five percent
of the ears will grow fairly well.
If you have corn that belongs to
either OF tee latter classes-save as
much OF it for seed as you can. Dry
it in the attic or in a spare room at
d temperature o. dDOuC 0U degrees.
Make a germinator by filling a square
box an inch and half deep with an
inch of sand. Rule a white paper
cover in squares an inch and a half
to side, give each square number
corresponding to the number of an
ear of corn to be tested. Take six
kernels one from the tip, but and Gen.
ter and from different sides of the
ear and place over square, moisten
and cover with sheet of wet paper
and KEEP moist and in warm place.
Select only the ears for your own
seed in which the entire six kernels
grminate strong and quickly. This
may cause you a little work but it
may save you the cost Of buying
southern seeo. which probably would
not mature corn next year as if you
plant your own seed it will give you
2 perfect stand. This one acre of
tested seed might yield you more net
profit than ten acres untested seed.
Test each individual ear Of seed corn
now. Know definitely whether your
seed corn is fit for seed or not.
