A GOOD MOVE.
Four Counties Employ Visiting
Nurses for tuberculosis.

One of the few bright spots in the
dark record of the late Legislature
was the passage of the law authorlz-
ing county boards of commissioners to
employ or contribute toward the sup
port of a visiting nurse to give in
struction in the home of the consump-
tive so as to avoid the spread of the
disease to other members of the fam
lily and to limited extent take the
place of hospital treatment.
The law, chapter 16, laws of 1911,
was introduced in the senate by Mr..
Sundberg and in the house by Mr..
Mattson at the instance of DR.. G. S.
Wattam of Warren, member of the
State sanitorium advisory commission.
While visiting nursing is by no means
as effective a measure to combat the
white plague as provision of hospitals
and sanatoria, the bill for which the
Legislature turned down, yet it is a
good half way measure and the law
providing for it will do great deal
of good. Four counties have already
taken advantage of this law and ap-
propriated enough money to start the
work. The counties are Marshall,
Stevens, Todd and Kandiyohi.
If the war proves successful assur-
ances have been given that enough
money to put the work on permanent
basis will be forthcoming.
Those who are familiar with the
surroundings of consumptives in the
country will appreciate the need of
extending visiting nursing to the coun-
try. In Dunn county, Wis, a can
vass showed only At per cent of con-
sumptives having a separate room and
3 per cent sleeping three in room.
The use of a common dipper in such
families is probably the rule and
sterilization of dishes and body linen
unheard of in most of them. Splitting
into containers open to flies is another
common practice. The delicate brother
or baby sister of the consumptive
constantly exposed to infection in
these ways can hardly hope to escape
the disease. Carelessness is not by
any means confined to the poorer fam
lilies. Nine out of ten consumptive
homes need Encouragement under ex-
pert supervision and it is very graft
flying that rural as we'll as urban COM
munities are beginning to take this
view of the situation.

Homeseekers' Rates Again.

The Northern Pacific Railway is
out with official announcement of the
Inauguration of homeseekers' rates to
points in the state of Minnesota.
These rates will be in effect on the
first and third Tuesdays of each month,
starting August 18th. The basis will
be one and one-half fare for the round
trip from Saint Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth or Superior to all points in
the state to which the regular round
trip rate is So or more.
This indicates a desire on the part
of the railroad to assist in populating
ard developing the Gopher state. The
several lines have been quite active
of late in advertising Minnesota, the
Northern Pacific particularly so. and
these homeseekers' rates are expected
to attract settlers in increased num-
bers to homes in the thousands of acres
of rich Minnesota land which are as
yet either unoccupied or uncultivated.
Through tickets to points in Min
nesota from points east and south of
the Saint Paul and Duluth gateways
will be sold at homeseekers' rates on
the first and third Tuesdays of each
month just as soon as they can be
made effective lawfully.

In circular letter to county super
intendents in the state. Supt. C. G..
Schulz calls their attention to an act
by the last legislature requiring a
complete school census in every school
district in the state. Enumerators

parent, guardian or other person hav-
ing charge. The school census shall
ha taknn -hsz-.@e-clerk of the-sohool
board. or by some other person or
persons appointed by the school board.

Grafton and the information therein
contained. The clerk shall retain the
original in his Office, send one copy

The funeral of the late E. P. Wat
son was held at Mortified last week
. Wednesday. Rev. Samuel Ellery.
formerly of Morris, assisted by Rev.
J. W. Stebbins, officiating. All of

who attended were E. W. Randall and
R. A. Stone. of St. Paul. In writ
ing of Mr.. Watson, Mr.. Randall
says -
"Mr. Watson was man of unusual
mental and physical vigor. He was
successful as a business man and as a
farmer. He was an expert horseman,
a successful live stock breeder and
was well up in the knowledge of
modern agriculture. He was public
spirited and held numerous offices of
trust. From 1895 until 1899, he
was manager of the Minnesota State
Agricultural Society and was one of
the group of strong men responsible
for the rapid growth of the Fair dur
ing those years. He was member
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
and was keenly interested in all re-
ligious and educational work. A
large circle of friends sympathize
deeply with the family in their be-
reavement. -

Omar Torrey's Accident.

Last weeks Willmar Tribune had
the following account of the accident
to Omar Torrey:-
O. F. Torrey one of the we'll known
and popular conductors on the Will
mar division, was very seriously in
jured by falling off a freight train
last Saturday night. During the slack
at the present time. Mr.. Torrey was
doing braking. At the time of the
accident he was working as rear
brakeman under conductor Harry
Garfield. A short way out from Min
neapolis he had gone with jug of
water for the front-end brakeman and
was last seen by the later on a fiat
car where they had conversed and
parted, one going to the engine and the
other to the caboose. AS Torrey did
not appear, Conductor Garfield sup
posed he had stayed in the engine.
But when he failed to show up at the
next station, the train crew UNDER
stood there was omething wrong,
and, securing a switch engine, returned
and found the unfortunate man lay
ing senseless by the track near Hop
kins Junction. with big cash in his
head. He was taken back to St. Paul
and placed in the hospital suffering
from a fractured skull. AS the in
jured man is quite tall it is thought
that his head must have stuck against
an over head bridge, as he was pick
ed up not far from one such.
The latest reports are that he has
gained consciousness, though yet in
precarious condition.
The unfortunate man has a family
at Willmar. A son was born about
week ago, and owing to the delicate
condition of Mrs. Torrey the full ex-
tent of the injury of her husband has
not been told her as yet.

A favorite plant with the old herb
alist was satyrion. a name applied to
several species Of orchis. AS far back
as the days Of the Roman empire 1t
was commonly supposed that the roots
of the satyrion supplied the satyrs
with food and prompted them to COM
NIT those excesses for which they be-
came proverbial. Kircher relates the
case OF youth who, whenever he Wis
tied certain corner of his garden. be-
came so iovesick that he mentioned
this strange circumstance to friend.

be overgrown with a species Of saty-
rion, the odor Of which alone had the

KILL THE HOPPERS.
Save Crops by Spraying with
Sodium Arsenic.

j. j. Gaffney is convinced that he
saved his flax crop from the grass
hoppers last week by the early appli-
cation of a solution of sodium ar
senite. After Mr.. Gaffney had cut
his wheat he noticed that the hoppers
were very thick in his flax, and last
Wednesday had decided to cut it while
it was still green when he heard of
the sodium arsenite treatment. He
procured sprayer and made the solu
tion and went to work. The whole
field was sprayed at cost of about
fifty cents an acre, and the next day
the field was found covered with thou
sands of dead or nearly dead hoppers.
Since then there are very few hoppers
in the field. Mr.. Gaffney is satisfied
that his investment of SO cents an
acre saved his fine flax crop.
F. L. Washburn. state entomologist,
says of the sodium arsenite treatment
in recent CIRCULAR
"Used in South Africa against
grasshoppers with marked success,

in Minnesota, summer of 1911. Its
use calls for early and concerted ac-
tion on the part of farmers. Best re-

young. The following formula ap-
pears best suited to Minnesota condi-
tions:

"Spraying best done early in the

sprays will do for this work, altho a
regular field sprayer is best. Field
