The news of the sudden death OF
Mr.. David Bailey Taylor spread
rapidly over the city last night and
cast gloom over every home where
he was known for he was truly a
friend who will be missed.
Mr.. Taylor had recently returned
from Florida and was delighted to
be at home again. Sunday he saw
an old friend and Monday he had
company which he enjoyed. When
dinner was announced told his wife
to 90 down and he would follow.
She was hardly seated at the table
when she heard him call and she
went at once, and found him in the
hall complaining of pain in his
side. She helped him to his bee

PUT OUT THE LIGHT.

It is hard to believe that q dairy
barn could be battened so tight ana
have windows and doors so close fitting
as to virtually put out a lantern because
of lack of oxygen, but such an oc-
currence was related the other day by
a farmer 10 one of the speakers on the
Iowa dairy special, which has been
making u tour Of the state. This chap
thought 1T first that his wick was
short or the oil low, but on going out
side of the barn. where the air was
pure, the light revived. This fact was
noticed on two other occasions, 50
that there was no question as to the
cause Of the poor light. Yet in the
face of this terrific condition Of affairs
cows were kept housed within this
stable and were expected to give
profitable milk return when they had
virtually no oxygen with which to pu
rify their blood and make milk pro-
duction possible After hearing the
lecture we understand this fellow went
home and put in window between
every other set Of studding and insert
ed glass and cheesecloth alternately
over every other opening. This let in
the sunshine, which is the best germ
killer, and admitted fresh air without
making a draft. A whole lot of barns
need ventilating In the above manner
when the air isn't so absolutely foul
that 1t will extinguish lantern.

Remember that the Highland
Live Stock Show for 1911 is now
an assured thing-has been fully
and enthusiastically launched-but
its success and interest does not
rest entirely with the few enter
prising men whose names appear
as leading in the effort. If you are
wide awake to your own interests
and those of your county, you will
arrange to participate in some way
and thus contribute to the success
of the show. You can do some
thing toward your county live stock
show and the time to decide on
your part is early in the season.
The matter should appeal to you,
not only as a stockman, but as a
public spirited citizen of II grand
little stock county. Perhaps along
no other channel has Highland so
good chance to advertise herself
and elicit the interest and admra-
ton of other sections.
1t is early in the season to urge
action on your part, but there is
going to be a great big show, and
unless you get busy and help, you
will miss the two-fold benefits that

RECIPROCITY WINS In HOUSE
By BIG VOTE.

Washington, April 81. - The
Canadian Reciprocity measure pass
ed the House of Representatives
tonight with an overwhelming vote
of 265 to 50. Nearly all the mega
tive votes were Republican. Anew
Insurgents from the. Middle West
Joined with a strong standpat ele-
ment from New England and Penn
sylvania in opposing the bill. Prac-
tically the entire strength of the
democratic majority was registered
in it's favor. The results is a great
triumph for the Commute of Ways
and Means, who have cooperated
with President Taft, and have sue
coded in passing a Republican meas
ure by a Democratic vote. The bill
will be sent over to the Senate to-
morrow. Chairman Underwood
would issue no statement tonight
to say that he was greatly pleased
at the solidarity shown by the
Democrats in the vote on the bill
All the amendments which were
offered this afternoon and early to-
night in an effort to cucumber the
reciprocity agreement were defeat
ed. Representative Mann, the Mi
nority leader, made brief state
ment early in the night saying that
he was opposed to the measure but
did not believe in offering amend
ments to it as a means of defeating
it, as it was evident that the House
was in favor of it. 1t is thought
that the Senate will pass the bill
by a narrow majority. AT the last
session the Reciprocity Bill passed
the House, but was defeated in the
Senate by the votes of the Repub-
Leans, which result caused President
Taft to call the present extra sess-
