wealthy man In St Paul. Exposed to temptation
after his days work, he fought the tempter with
all his strength for seven months. and then de-
cided to return to the prison and reioin his old
comrades Upon presenting himself in the office
of the prison-keeper he declared that he feared
he would not be able to long resist the tempta

officials OF the penal institutions expect "a man to

kERsEl CHEERFUL OVER
fl'OSPECTS FOR SUMMER

Never before in the history or
the herSey district have prospects
been SO promising as they are right
now. The farmers OF the district
are thoroughly enthusiastic over
prospect as is evidenced in the in
creased acreage in practically every
line of crop production customarv
in this district.
quite a few conditions are ac-
countabin for the confidence that
our Farmers have in the prospects.
Notably among these conditions is
the CONSPICUOUS absence of any in
dications of a grasshopper pest this
season During the past week quite
few farmers have made a thorough
search for hopper eggs, and the few
that Were found were thoroughly
unfertile. A few weeks ago the de-
velopments of the eggs was alarm
ing, and 4 systematic fight against
the critters was being arranged.
However. the cold snap that set in
following that warm spell, complete
ly killed the greater part of the eggs.
Another matter that has reas-
sured the farmers is the condition
of the Soil as concerns the moisture.
Those who have started their spring
work say that the soil contains suf-
ficient moisture to obviate the ne
cessity OF the customary early irri-
cation. And too, most of the irriga-
ton companies have assured their
patrons that there will not be the
customary scarcity of water this
season.
Practically the only thing the far
mer has TO fear this season is hail.

Black Leg Appears

Masters, March ga. Sanford,
who has large cattle interests near
here, reports the first cases of black
leg among cattle this season. He
has lost twelve COWS so far and is
taking active steps to prevent the
disease from spreading. The disease
usually attacks either underfed or
overfed cattle and it is believed that
the last named cause is responsible
for the appearance of the disease
this year, as the range has been in
excellent shape for feeding.

IMPORTANT IRRIGATION
SUIT Is ON IN DENVER

One of the most important irriga-
ton suits affecting the right to the
water of the Arkansas river ever
brought in the courts of Colorado
began yesterday morning before
Judge John A. Riner in the federal
court in Denver. The case involves
every irrigation company and enter
prise in Colorado and Kansas secur-
ing water from the Arkansas.
The title of the suit is the United
States Irrigation company of Kansas
versus the Graham Ditch company,
and others, OF Colorado. The Ar
kansas flows into the western part
Of Kansas, and the plaintiffs claim
they have a priority right to the
water because they were using IT
long before the farmers of Colorado
began irrigating from that stream,
and therefore have n preference over
any one in Colorado.
Under the riparian laws attorneys
for the defendants say the irriga-
tionists of this state have right 10
all the water they want: that kan
sas cannot claim water that is taken
from the stream before ii reaches
the state line. because such water Is
in Colorado. and Kansas has no
claim to it until it reaches that state
/ The court allowed each side four
hours to argue. Platt Rogers, Tor
the defendants. occupied the floor
all morning. Over thirty irrigation
companies are defendants. The de-
cision will be of vital importance, rs
with it rests the question of whether
one state has right to COME INTO
another state and take water tha'
eventually flows into the frst'
named commonwealth. whoever
wins, It will be necessary for the
United States supreme court to pass
| finally upon the issue. as both slues
have declared their intention OF ap-
pealing.

MEAT INSPECTION

The public generally does not
know Just why the Federal Govern
ment is inspecting meats in all the
large cities, and why many of the
smaller cities have municipal meat
inspection.
The federal meat inspection,
which employs a small army of vet
Urinary inspectors, is primarily to
establish and maintain the reputa-
ton OF our export meats and meats
for interstate traffic.
Back Of all meat inspection is, of
course, the fact that meat is not al
ways wholesome, and may be dan
gerous to human life.
Federal meat inspection does not
extend TO interstate trade, and Tor
that reason many enterprising muni-
cipalities have established a meat
inspection of their own.
Why the need for local meat in
spection? l will give you one ex
ample. Last week a beef carcass
was held up by the local inspector
until laboratory investigation coul'
reveal the nature of certain llttl
white specks found all through TN
heart and some other muscles. IN
butchess spoke of them as "blisters
and suggested that they were nc
Uncommon and did no harm.
The fact is that there were nun
dreds of these little spots, and eac
one of them contained the head or
tape worm. This is the cystic stag
