safeguarding of health in general lies
in preventing the pests from breed
ing. When it is realized that the
descendants of single fly number
more than a million during season
it will be readily understood that
systematic effort to keep the eggs
from Matching can be accomplished
a great deal. Swat the fly.
Experts state that ninety eight per
cent of the eggs are laid in stable
manure and two per cent in garbage
and other filth. The period of incu
baton is ten days. Among the
methods of prevention suggested are
the spading of the stable refuse
into the ground every day and
placing the refuse in pits covered
SO as to make them inaccessible to
flies. The campaign against mos
quitoes has driven yellow fever out
of cities where it formerly reaped
yearly harvest, and has rendered
remote the probability of that dis
ease in this country. A vigorous
war against the house fly is the
next thing in order

THE SPEED MANIA,

81 think that every passenger who
crosses the north Atlantic takes his
life in his hands," said Admiral
George Dewey. For myself l would
rather go around the world in we'll
equipped battleship than make a trip
across the north Atlantic in trans
atlantic vessel. The greed for money
making is so great that it is with
the greatest regret that l observe
that human lives are never taken
into consideration" The greed for
speed and unnecessary haste has
sent many an unfortunate to an I'M
timely grave. Speed railroad trains,
speed boats, speed autos, speed mo-
tor-cycles, speed everything is the
cry of the frenzied populace; and
they court death every moment. The
speed mania has got a tight grip
on the people.

WHY THEY LIKE THE FARM,

/, Mr. w. K. Tate in The Worlds
Work for May tells about the count
ry schools of Page county, Iowa,
which are especially adapted to the
needs OF country children The Or
ganizer of these schools is Miss
Jessie Fields, and the philosophy of
her procedure is as simple as it is
effective. .t...
1T is to begin with the actual life
of Page county and spread out from
there.
For example. the copy books show
such subjects as this: why !
like TO live in the country" "How
to make loaf of bread" "How to
make bed" How to use the
Babcock milk tester"
In the grammar lesson, if a boy
is asked to give an example of a
compound sentence, he will very
likely reply, after a glance out of
the window for inspiration, sit is
the ninth of October and the farm
ers are gathering in the apples"
1t has been noticed by many
visitors that the Page county school
children have an unusual capacity
for clear oral expression of their
thoughts. g t"tF ~'r-~i r@.. .-''

HAZARDS OF GASOLINE.

Great care should be taken not, to
cause sparks in the vicinity of gaso-
line. Many serious fires and terrible
accidents have been caused by this
combustion. There have been many
cases where women have been seri.
ously burned by explosions of gaso.
line fumes, due to the creating of q
friction spark by rubbing silk and
other goods which were being clean
ed, in gasoline. 49,
F.. A 100000 fire was started in
Winnipeg garage by horses stamp
ing on a concrete floor, while gasO-
line was being poured from barrels
into a tank in the same building.
The fumes spread over the floor and
when spark from one Of the horses
hoOfs caused an explosion the entire
building and contents were destroy.

Another unusual fire due to the
combination of sparks and gasoline
is reported from Oklahoma. A dray-
man unloading barrel of gasoline

let it come down rather hard. The
steel rim of the barrel struck a
spark as it fell, and there must have
been a leak in the barrel, permitting
fumes to escape, for an explosion re-
suited instantly, setting the barrel
on fire, and causing considerable
damage to the neighboring property.
Gasoline should be regarded as
dangerous as gunpowder, and every
one using it should be. acquainted
with the fact that the fumes of gaso-
line unlike those of most liquids,
fall instead of rise. Consequently
they settle on the floor, and are es-
pecially dangerous when matches are
thrown down carelessly. Don't be
careless with matches when gasoline
is around. .... ....

all parts of the country have awak
ened to the importance of improved
highways. The campaign is no local
affair. The public roads office al
Washington has compiled data GOV
ering the five-year period from 1906
to 1909, and showing what has been
done. The total expenditure on, pub
lie roads in the United States in
1905 was $79,771,417, and in 1909 it
was $142,225,628, an increase of
nearly 100 per cent.
1t is significant that the state aid

ments increased from $2,6S7,322 in
1901 to $21,219,346 in 1909. Another
interesting fact is that state and
civil divisions in 1904 issued bonds
for road improvements to the
amount of $3,53O,47O.93 and five
years later the total was $780,

States are just awakening to the
wastefulness of poor highways. They

The accident to the Titanic was in
excusable Had the ship been prop
erly and intelligently managed the
catastrophe never would have happen
ed. The disaster was the result Of
having blunderers on watch when ex

From start to finish there was q
series of mistakes and "bonehead'
plays on board the Titanic. The look
out was at fault because he failed tC

distance than a quarter of a mile
away on a clear night.
The next serious blunder was made
when the officer in charge gave the
order to port the helm. Does it not
seem reasonable that if the helm
had remained amidships and instruc
tons given to stop and then reverse
the ships engines and close the for
ward water-tight doors, that the acct
dent would have been less serious?
The ship would have struck the ice
berg with comparatively little force
and probably the only damage would
have been to her forward water-tight
compartments, and : the boat could
have been kept afloat for a number
of hours, or until assistance arrived
It would appear from all reports
that the ship was not manned by
men who had been properly trained
and disciplined for4 the handling OF
Elifeboats, and there were not enough
of the latter to go around. 1t also
develops that the land-lubbery crew
could not release one of the boats
from the davits, and it went down

The fact that incompetent men are
employed on so many of our trans
atlantic boats is due to the pusilani-
nous righteousness of the wealthy
corporations that control them
There is every reason to believe that
the majority of the Titanic's crew had
received no drilling in that line of
work that is so essential in prevent

LIGHTING THE HIGHWAYS

Senator White has introduced a
bill in New York State legislature
appropriating $4,000 for the exper.
mental electric lighting of ten miles
of improved highway. II was only
few years ago that nearly every
city in this country was shrouded
in darkness after nightfall. The
streets were unlighted and thieves

mantle to ply their nefarious pur.
poses. If people had to be abroad
on the streets after dark it was
necessary to protect them from &C.
cidents and ruffians by an abundance
Of artificial light and now, as the
traffic increases on the improved

night. .....
1t is evident that all the main
highways will be lighted in a few
years, at the most, and this test
system in New York state will be
anXiously watched by every state in
the union as well as in foreign
countries. 1t will not cost much to
accomplish this. A few years ago
such scheme would have been
impossible, because arc lamps re-
quire too much attention, but the
advent OF the new high candle
power metal filament incandescent
lamps are ideal for this purpose as
they requires no attention and can
be turned. on and off from a rea-
sonable distance. This would elm
mate lamp-lighters, trimmers and
most of the work incident to old
style lighting systems.
One source of revenue will be OBJ

villages who are anxious to supply

power but are now held back by the
prohibitive cost of a pole line for
this work. They can rent the use of
the state poles for a nominal sum
and thus reach all the farmers
within a mile, or two. Of the main
highways. It will be seen that the
farmers are the ones to profit most
by this illumination. The automo-
bilist will also enjoy the safety and

his share, but it is the farmer who
will receive the greatest benefit.

THIS CHAUFFEUR Is ANGRY

a chauffeur at Owatonna, is getting

out one. A letter from him reads
this way: #a

RELATES STARTLING STORY.

A hOrrifying story is told by Lewis
Klein, a Hungarian, who claims to
have been a member of the crew OF
the Titanic, and who is under arrest
at Cleveland, Ohio, under technical
charge of mutiny, pending the arrival
of a subpoena of the senate investi
eating committee. He was arrested
by direction of Senator William AL
den Smith. Klein's story, interpret.
ed by the Austrian vice consul, is that
the lookout in the crows nest of the
Titanic was asleep when the col
iision occurred and that members
of the crew were drunk from cham
payne that had been given them by
stewards serving the late dinner
party aboard. This tale, while start
ling, is hardly to be discredited, in
the light of all that took place on
the ship. The bungling manner in
which the crew handled themselves
and the lifeboats indicate that some
thing was radically wrong. However,

ADVISING The FARMER.

The Toledo Blade asks do you
remember when the farmer was spok,
en- of as the "mainstay of the re,
public" as 1.-The humble proVider of
the world and "the horny handed
son of toil?"' The farmer is still
spoken of more or less fioridly, but
mostly he is spoken to- We venture
to say he is the most preached at"
human being who draws on the air
for his share Of breat1fs.
The farmer is told to cultivate
closer, to pillow deeper, to buy seed.
to try intensive cultivation, to fatten
stock with corn instead of market
ing corn, to protect the birds,
to save the trees, to use judgment III
the selection of farm animals, to
send the boys TO agricultural schools
and to see that the girls get a
grounding in domestic science, TO
avoid digging the well where it
might get contaminated, to use con-
crete, to plant orchards, to buy bet
ter implements, to look at what's
being done in Germany, to take a
lesson from the Danes and the Bel
gians and the market gardeners OF
France, to hold his grain for raise,
to kill the flies, to help the good
roads movement, to swat the middle
man and not to forget to be thankful
he's a farmer.
And Of preachers competent-in
their own minds-to advise the farm
er the arithmetic books lay down no
rule for computing their numbers.
The city skyscrapers are full OF
them. There are staff specialists OF
the sort on every Philadelphia and
New York magazine.
The farm paper, the weekly news
papers, the daily newspapers, the
agricultural departments, federal and
state; the publication of agricultural
colleges and experiment stations,
manufacturers, railroad magnates,
travellers and economists-all these
are warning and Gliding, showing
the farmer how and holding him up
to himself as horrible example.
Yes the farmer is the raging fashion
as lecture hall audience. We wonder
if it is a consolation to him TO re-
member that he always had a. rep
utation for long suffering?

MOST FITTING MEMORIAL.

If the desire is general-and none
can doubt ito have the approach
ing Sunday bring some form of
memorial in the churches of the
dead hundreds of the Titanic, the
singing of Nearer, My God, to
Thee" would be most appropriate
one, says The st. Paul Pioneer
Press.
Nothing in the descriptive story
of the survivors, which is of itself a
tremendous epic, SO thrilled the
world as the announcement that the
mortally-wounded liner sank to her
grave fathoms deep with her band
playing Nearer, My God, to Thee"
1t was her solemn and majestic
requiem,
If in every church in Minnesota,
tomorrow, hymnic anthems, should
be sung, following the announcement
of it's purpose, it would constitute
a memorial more touching and more
sublime than all of the pulpit .elo-
quence and all of the formal die
ton of studied written expression.
For years this poetic declaration
of Christian hope and resignation
cannot be sung without recalling to
the larger part of the world the re-
QUEEN of the Titanic. The Free
Press hopes that this song, Nearer,
My God, to Thee" will be sung in
every church in Mankato on the NOR
row. Indeed, it would be fitting
memorial. a.

HlllES IN A DENIAL.

Secretary c.. d. Hilles, acting for
President Taft, denies that Major
Archibald Butt was sent by the
president on a mission to the vail
can in Rome. There is absolutely
no truth in the report that Major
Butt was on mission to Rome. The
sole object of his trip was the bene'
fit of the long sea voyage, and in
order to add to the interest of his
trip, the president gave him num-
Der of formal notes of introduction
to personages in Rome whom he
knew. None of the letters contain
ed more than formal introduction "
There was no occasion for President
Taft to send Major Butt on any
to Rome, and the denial of
Secretary Hilles should be sufficient.

CAMPAIGN WAS SUCCESSFUL
Urgent Request to Test Seed Corn
Met With Hearty Response.


st. Paul, April 22.-Reports from
practically every one of the man.
ayers of local exchanges and dis
tricts of the Northwestern Telephone
company on the results obtained by
telephoning farmers in their respec-
tive districts, urging them to test
their seed corn, had been received
up to the time allotted in which to
report, which was Saturday noon.
These reports show conclusively the
success of the Pioneer Press and
Dispatch and Northwestern Tele-
phone company Misrepresentation"
campaign.
Philip II. Setter, commercial man
ager at Mankato, sends the following
report:
AT MankatO we have ninetyeisht
rural subscribers, all of whom were
notified of these conditions; ninety
one either had or intended to test
their seed corn and seven agreed to.
Two called at this office for the
formula.
Al EaSle Lake VIC have llty-Sc'eh
rural subscribers, all were notified,
fifty-four had or intended to test
their corn and three agreed to.
AT Madison Lake we have twen-
ty-six rural subscribers, all were no
titled and all either had or intended
to test their seed corn.
1.-THE average test runs about IS
per cent, but in some cases it was
as low as As per cent, while in 9TH
ers it was as high as So per cent.
Two instances were reported to me
that ran 80 per cent"
