days ago the clubs president. DR. ].

insurgents

Our congressional delegation
at Washington is unit in OPP
posing Canadian reciprocity
though in so acting it is very
doubtful if they represent the
majority sentiment Of the state.
In taking this stand Martin and
Burke break with Taft and thus
become insurgents while Gamble
and Crawford repudiate their
previous stand for lower tariff
duties. Why these four bright
men delude themselves into the
belief that the farmers of South
Dakota are still blindly infatua-
ted over protection is a mystery.
The last republican state plat
form did not so declare.

have shown that horse which can

DUST LAYING.
Oil Used by Canadian Town to Sprinkle
Streets


Consul Augustus G. Seyfert of
Owen Sound. Ont. says that ..the
sandy lake shore soil upon which
Owen Sound is located results in very
dusty streets. No matter how much
rain falls or how much water is
sprinkled Oh the streets in an hour
thereafter the dust becomes a nuisance
and menace to health To overcome
this the municipal authorities eX.
perimented with oil. which proved
such success that now all the plin
cipal streets in the town are oiled.
These thoroughfares are macatlamizeG
and are first swept clean and the oil
put on Immediately after with the
sprinkler
The objection at first was that the
odor from the crude oil was offensive
but in day or two this disappeared
and the change for the better to dust
less streets was recognized by all.
The first application of oil lasted six
weeks. and the second application was
put on the other day, and what
We're some of the duStiest streets are
now perfectly dustless.
THE town officials state that 1t will
be an annual saving of $4,000 over tlla
old water system and ut the sam
time give much better results"
