Conservation in Eclipse.

Possibly it was the reciprocity
treaty which dimmed the fires OF emit
husissm burning in the bosoms Of the
conserv ationists. At any rate, there
was less heard about conservation
this year, although Herbert Knox
Smith, Commissioner of Corporations
issued report and laid it before Con-
eress showing that few men control
timbered area of the country and that
the supply OF merchantable lumber
will play out in S. years in case no
more grows. 1t was also claimed by
Mr.. Smith, that while prices OF lumber
have advanced, they are not yet high
enough. 1t is by increasing the price
in part, that the conservationists hope
to save for posterity some OF the trees
which are falling so rapidly before
the axe of the woodsman. In the
same way, the conservationists are
doubtless rejoicing at the high prices
of food, because according to their
reasoning, the higher the price the
less food people can buy and the more
there will be left for the next gem

INNOVATIONS IN MORTALITY STA.
TISTlCS
New Facts Regarding Deaths 70 be
Shown by the Census Bureau

Washington, D. c., March 3, 191l.-
Two important innovations will be
made in the compilation of mortality
statistics by the Bureau of the Census,
beginning. with the report for 1910, il
preparation under the direction of DR..
Cressy L. Wilbur, chief statistician
for vital statistics.
These comprise the tabulation of the
rate of mortality by days of age for
the first three weeks of life and by
months for the first two years of life;
and also detail information including
principal causes of death with distinc-
ton as to age and sex for the more
numerous and important nationalities
of the foreign population, such as
Irish, German, Italian, etc.
These statistics are expected to add
important and valuable informatio

apply to about so, ooO, 900 people.
How many babies die before they
are weeks old, and on what day Of
their age? How many die before they
are years old, and in what month OF
their age? These important questions
will be fully answered by the new
figures of the mortality statistics OF
the Census Bureau. 1t is by means OF
such statistics that advance toward
arresting the appalling death rate of
infants is facilitated, and aid given to
the great movement now in progress
for the saving of the many thousands
of babies lives in the United States
whose death is preventable. 1t is now
estimated that the deaths of babies
less than year old form oue-ifth OF
the total annual death rate.

Drainage Scandal.

The state drainage board is on thu
eve of one the greatest scandals which
Minnesota has ever experienced, and
the much.discussed drainage system
is at the bottom of the whole affair
If the special legislative committee
appointed to investigate the drainage
work goes to the root of the matter ar
astounding and rotten condition will
be found.

judicial ditch No. l, lying in Aitkin,
Itasca and St. Louis counties.
This ditch, sometimes called Wa.
wilma ditch, owing to the fact that il
lies around Lake Wawina, drains a
vast area owned by private citizens.
Mr.. Ralph, engineer, being part own
er of the land benefited.
o. F. Doyle of St. Cloud, Mimi, the
contractor digging the ditch, openly
declared that the whole system was
primarily designed for draining GER
tain lands belonging to land COM
pany in which MIR. Ralph was heavily
interested.
This ditch, which Mr.. Ralph, S. G.
Iverson state auditor, and George W.
Peterson, former assistant attorney
general, tried to compel the separate
counties to finance, is declared by Mr..
Doyle to be impossible of construction
for at least i've to six miles.

cost will ultimately fall back on the

years to come. In the Wawina case

The flag that led the column when battle
calls were blown

the trumpets blared
Once more as in the moments when brave

As though the old drums rumbled as
though the flies shrilled out
The strident airs that mingled with val
liant battle-shout-
Twas the flag were dreaming, twas
the flag once more
Planned through the smoke that drifted
above the battles roar.
I saw the old flag futter when all the air
was still
1t seemed to leap and straighten with all
the olden thrill.
1t seemed to flash its message against the
blazing sky,
To time the marching soldiers as in the
days gone by
Twas as the flag were hearing the vi
brant bugle calls
That sang in angry cadence before the
crumbling walls.
I heard the old flag murmur-or was it
but the breeze
That droned forgotten music among the
leafiess trees?-
l thought the old flag whispered the songs
they used to sing.
When sabers in their scabbards would
wildly clank and ring.
Or was 1t but a fancy, an Idle dream OF
mine,
This strain of olden music that breathed
out fair and fine?
I saw the old flag CULVER, then saw 1t
droop all still
AS though no more the breezes its faded
folds should fill,
AS though no more It's colors should flash
against the sky
To cheer the marching soldiers as in the
days gone by
And then, dropping emblem, 1t held
its state alone
Proud in its olden glory-the flag Of San

HAS TWO "DRY" BATTLESHIPS

The British navy has just taken a
step unprecedented in its history. The
two cruisers Rainbow and Niobe are
to be teetotal men of war. contrary to
all marine traditions.
Grog has always been part of the
standard ration, being a connection of
one part rum to three parts water, but
no such luxury is to be permitted on
the two ships above mentioned. In
the old days, in fact down to 1880, the
daily allowance to each man was a
gallon of ale and half a pint of rum.
The quantity has been greatly modi-
fed. but it certainly never entered any
tar's head that the time was coming
for total abstinence.
