early this morning to vote on the tar
if board bill tomorrow at 8:30?"
''Well, you see man cannot go on
forever. But the bill was so amended
that it will be necessary for the house
to act on it again and the boys over
there ought to be able to take care of
it if they don't want it."
Senator Beveridge also was among
the early arrivals. He was most hope
full over the prospect for the tariff
board bill and was most complacent
under the fluctuations of his friends
over the success of his parliamentary
tactics in getting the vote agreement.
Hale Gives Stone the MA, Hal"
After the reading of the sundry civil
bill had proceeded about forty minutes
Mr.. Stone requested an agreement to
consider the Canadian reciprocity bill.
Noting the clerks rapid reading of
the sundry civil bill the Missouri SEN
ator asked how long time would be
required to complete it's consideration.
Mr.. Hale replied that it was hoped to
finish it by noon. Mr.. Stone said:
II ask unanimous consent that at that
time a vote be taken on the bill
known as the Canadian reciprocity
bill"
ooh, oh, ha, ha." laughed Mr.. Hale.
Sleepy as were all of the senators
most of them smiled over the sugges-
ton. Mr.. Hale did not recover from
his surprise in time to make formal
objection until after Senator Gronna
of North Dakota had performed that
formality.
"Then," said Mr.. Stone, the cap
tain of the filibustering band, II give
notice that l shall move the considera-
ton of the reciprocity bill"

Want Pure FOOD
COMMISSIONER COOK IS AFTER
iNFRACToRs OF PURE
FOOD LAWS
SEVERAL ARE PROSECUTED
Druggists Grocers and Butchers are
Drawn in Net Of Commissioner
and Others are Booked
For Prosecution

Vermillion-Informa has just
been received at the pure food Office
that the following parties have been
prosecuted for violating the food and
drug laws:
James Murphy-Harms Supply Co.,
of Hitchcock, were fined $iO.O)
and costs for selling rotten eggs to
a customer
c. H. Longstaff, druggist of HUI
ron, was fined $1,000 and costs for
selling Illegal stock food.
]. J. Mcbride, butcher of Vienna,
has been fined $1,000 in Justice
court for selling a MIXTURE of tallow
and lard as lard"
Hoberg and Bergg of Lake P eston,
butchers were fined $1,000 and costs
for a similar offense.
H. E. Stein, a butcher of Canton,
was fined $500 and costs. Same Oh
tense.
The pure food laws require that ev-
erything in the food line must be sold
for just what it is. Mixtures of tal!ow
and lard must be sold as such, and not
as lard
The butcher shops of one of the
largest cities of the state were in
spected a short time since, with the
result that every shop in the city was
found to be using poisonous pre-
servative in their sausage. The COM
missioner will recommend that al be
prosecuted at an early date.
Commissioner Cook has announced
that his department will keep after
the butchers until every butcher shop
in the state is brought into complete
compliance with the law. Owing to
a defect in the old law, the commits
sioner has no authority to compel
butcher shops, slaughter houses and
other places where food is sold to
keep clean, but it is hoped that the
legislature now in session will remedy
this defect. A bill to that purpose
passed the senate some time since and
is now before the house. This Is the
most important food bill that has
been before the legislature this ses'
sion.

A woman's Letter.

Women, it is generally admitted.
write better letters than men.
M. Marcel Provost has discovered
he reason for this superiority. "The
obvious meaning is never the one we
should read into woman's letter.
There is always yelled meaning.
Woman makes use Of a letter just
IS she employs glance or smile,
n way that is carefully thought out,
and with an eye to effect. And, after
all, does a woman's hat serve to cover
her head? Does q woman's parasol
keep OF the sun? Why, then, should
4 woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person ad-
dressed, just like letters Of some
honest grocer. who writes: I send you
Ave pounds of coffee, because he
:eally does send you five pounds OF
coffee?"

Condition Of Banks

Pierre-While the state and nation
al banks doing business in South
Dakota show combined individual
deposits of $74.750,547, at the call
of condition of such banks on Jan.
Z, this is a reduction of. practically
$6,6OO,OO0 from the showing made by
the banks at the time of the Novem-
Der call. Most of this comes out Of
the deposits subject to check. the fall
ing off in that account in the state
banks being more than four million
dollars, and nearly two million in the
ational banks. While the checking
deposits show a falling off, the de-
posits on time certificates, and the
savings deposits in both state and
national banks show slight gain,
which indicates a growing inclina-
ton on the part Of the people to get
their spare cash into interest bearing
deposits, even though the average ON
such deposits only runs from to 5
per cent.

Eve or Eva?

The first show that little Willie
ever attended was Uncle Toms Cab
in" When he returned home after
the play papa asked him how he liked
the show. Willie said 1t was awful
nice.
"Now. Willie, II you will be a good
boy, will take you to one next week"
said papa.
Little Willie and papa sat down In
the orchestra circle. Willie seemed
to enjoy the play very much. When
they returned home Willie's mamma
asked him how he liked the show?
Willie replied: 1T is lot nicer than
the first one l went to. What do you
think, mamma? All the little Evas

vater Shooting JustifiabIe

Geddes-The coroners jury investi-
eating the shooting Of Charles Water,
a wealthy Ccharles Mix county stock
man, found that he was killed by a
revolver shot, in the hands OF Mrs.
Percy Wander Horn, in defense OF
herself and children in their own
home, and that the shooting was done
only in the last extremity of self-de-
tense. The ranchmsn had teen acting
strangely lately, probably worried over
financial matters, and it was the op.n-
ion of the jurors that he had become
violently insane, as his actions i'm
mediately before the shooting would
seem to clearly indicate. The Water
ranch of 1880 acres is on the Mis-
souri,, south of Platte. The WIDOW
and three children comprise the fam
lily which has lived there for about
thirteen years, coming from Illinois.

libraries and the necessity to obtain
collection of books to which the pub
lie could have access. After the work
by the woman's clubs, it was finally
decided to ask the general assembly
to follow the example of Massachu-
sets, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kentucky and
several other states, and create a
state commission.
In 1909 the state library extension
commission was authorized by amend
ing the state library act Of 1874. The
commissioners of the state library
were empowered to appoint two per-
sons. who, together with the state IL
brarian, should constitute a board to
be known as the illinois library ex-
tension committee" The state IL
brarian, who is the secretary of state:
the superintendent Of public instruc.
ton, and the governor. constitute the
state library commission.
Mrs. Georgia Bacon of Macon coun-
ty, for several years president of the
Illinois Woman's clubs, is leading
member Of the extension committee.
and 1t was largely through her efforts
that the legislature was induced to
authorize the extension work.
The committee selected Blooming
ton girl, Miss Eugenia Allen, as secre-
tary, and upon her devolves the major
portion Of the duties Of the commit
tee. Miss Allen has been engaged in
library work for the past ten years
and is regarded as one of the most
successful in her chosen profession in
the west Since her appointment as
secretary last year, following the or
ganization of the committee, she has
been actively engaged in carrying ou-
the establishment Of libraries in COM
munities without such an institution,
and the importance Of her work IL
now widely recognized. When the
Illinois Woman's clubs retired from
the field in favor of the state, they
turned over to the state no less than
225 circulating Libraries which they
had assembled and which were loaned
to rural communities. There were 49,
900 volumes in this collection.
According to the statute under
which the commission operates, it 10
required to loan these travelling H.
braries to any organization or COM
munity not yet possessing an estab-
lished library, the idea being to use
the loaned books as nucleus for the
formation of a public library. After
such an institution has become prop
erly established, the borrowed books
of the state are to be returned. If.
through financial difficulties or other
wise, it is a slow process to secure
the requisite number Of books, the
commission is required to send an
other set upon the return Of the first
and keep up this exchange system un-
til all Of the books owned by the state
have been forwarded, thus securing
to the greatest practicable degree the
use and enjoyment Of such books to
the people of the entire state. The
commission may also conduct a clear
ing house for periodicals as a free
offering to local libraries and perform
such other public service as may
seem to it to be for the best interests
Of the state.

services Sunday. We believe that
the time is ripe for a good meeting.
There are a number of Baptists in
town who ought to unite with the
church. There are others who do
not profess to be christians. We
should endeavor to win them to
Christ.
During the last week of the meet
ing we will have only one public
preaching service each day. The
time for this service will be at 7
p. m. In the afternoons throughout
the week cottage prayer meetings
will be held in various homes.
The pastor is glad to announce
that he has secured the services of
Mr. P. A. Stockton who will lead
our singing. He comes to US highly
recommended by Mr. Farley G.
Artman. assistant to the Dean OF
Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.
We desire the cooperation of all
singers in town. There is no reason
why we should not have chorus
of fifty voices. We hope to have
the assistance of several musicians.
We are not praying, neither are
we going to work simply for bless
ing upon. our own church and peo-
pie. Our vision is much broader,
our prayer embraces much more
than that the gifts of grace shall be
confined to Baptists, We ask the
hearty cooperation of all the pas
tors in our city and of their congre'
cations. Respectfully,
