CLEAN THE WATER SUPPLY.
BY coekspw:

Dr.. George B. Morse Of the federal
bureau OF animal industry Ia this to
say about cleaning the water supply:
There are three methods Of &c
completing this, each being so easy
Of application that It may be sub
either Of the other two. The writer's
usual prescription Is to add to the
drinking water permanganate Of pot
ash In sufficient mount to give the
water a claret red color. For ordin-
airy waters, comparatively free from
organic material, the amount Of per-
manganate of potash necessary should
be as much as can be dipped up on q
silver ten-cent piece for each gallon
this amount Of potash is required to
color the water 1t Is we'll t o assume
that the water contains too much or
gantc matter to admit of satisfactory
d~isinfection by permanganate Of pot
ash.
I'm such q case the poulterer may
employ the second method, that OF
known as copperas. To gallon OF
drinking water add fifteen grains OF
ccppeeas. which is approximately the
amount that a be dipped up on a
.ive-cent piece. This proportion maj
be regarded as mildly antiseptic, hui
1t is as strong as should be used for
any long period in view OF it's astrin.
gent action and drying effects on the
lining Of digestive tracts.
THE third drug which the write,
has found equally effective in the
cleaning Of drinking water is pure
csrbolic acid in the proportion Of one
teaspoonful OF carbolic acid to ON
gallon Of water. Thu s.carholic acid

NOW EFFECTIVE.

At exactly 11:16 a. m. on the 31st
Of May the seventeenth amendment
to the constitution Of the United States
became effective. This is the amend
ment providing for the election Of Uni
ted States senators by the direct vote
OF the people of the several states. We
have been stating somewhat loosely
that the amendment was effective
from the time that the thirty-sixth
state ratified it, but this is not correct.
OF course the ratification of the
amendment by the proper number Of
states settled the matter, and made 1t
certain that the method Of electing
senators would be changed immedi-
ately. but certain formalities were re-
CURED to put the change into actual
operation. These formalities were
completed last Saturday when secre-
tary Bryan using four pens and a
blotter, signed his am to the neces-
sary proclamation announcing the
ratification Of the amendment and its
incorporation into the fundamental
law Of the land. The function was
completed by the application of the
blotter at the hour and minute stated,
30 that we may now rest assured that
when we have any senator's to elect
We will vote for them directly, Just
as we do for our representatives or
state officials.
Our state legislature has made no
provision for the operation of this law
The term of Senator Gronna will ex-
pire March 4, 1915. and his successor
will be elected at the general election
Of November, 1914. There will he no
regular legislative session before that
time. so that any conflicting provis-
ions in our existing laws will be
automatically superseded by the OPP
Grafton Of the newly ratified amend
ment.

WEDNESDAY. JUNE 4, 1913.
THE MUSIC FESTIVAL.

The June numbers Of the annual
Music festival given by the Oratorio
society will be given this afternoon
and evening. The Minneapolis SYM
phony orchestra will supply the in
strumental music and the name Of
Emil Oherhoffer the director of that
organization, is now so we'll known
that it's mention is all that is neces-
eary to assure the public of music of
an exceptionally high order. The Sc
lections for these two concerts will
prove acceptable. and the soloists who
delighted audiences here earlier in the
spring. together with others. will
again be heard.
Too high praise cannot be given the
people who have worked for the sue
cess of these concerts. With them it
is a labor of love, for they receive no
remuneration for their effort. They
have done much for the cultivation of
the musical taste of the community,
and the efforts of the work done are
everywhere manifest. While the
change has come about gradually. and
therefore imperceptibly. there is a
marked difference between the music
that appeals to Grand Forks people
today and that which appealed to
them a few years ago. Our people
are beginning to have a love for re-
ally fine music, and this is due quite
largely to the work of the Oratorio
association. There are assurances of
good audiences for the concerts this
afternoon and evening, and it is to be
hoped that this promise will be abun-
dainty fulfilled.

street at imminent risk of being run
over by two automobiles.

cided not to go to church. John
Thompson might be there. 1t was at
a church social that she had first met
him. But in the afternoon she went
out for a walk with two girls who
lived in the tenement above her. One
dressmaking establishment. She de-
scribed some Of the beautiful gowns
that were being made to veal at the
coming season of grand opera.
Why, they're party dresses" COM
mented Rosa.
We'll. that's the way they dress for

"oh, I'll never get to co." returned
Rosa with a deep sigh. Her longing
to go to the opera was so intense that
it seemed to her she could not en-
dure not to go. Her Sc a week did
not leave her much by the time she
had given half to her mother. She
had just bought a new dress and coat
with the savings Of many weeks. And
now she needed shoes and underwear.
NO, there was no way possible OF buy
ing a ticket for the opera.
After supper the boys went out and
her mother paid a visit to a sick
neighbor. Rosa refused to go to
church when some girl friends called
for her. John Thompson would be
sure to be there. and she didn't want
him hanging around her. There was
only n thing she wanted and she
couldn't have that.
The November night was mild. The

FARMERS CREDIT.
New York Times.)

tNeW 1ork IlmeS.)
The Manufacturers Record has
published an extremely pertinent ar
ticle on How Farmers Could Find
Credit Unaided." 1t was pointed out
that n building and loan associations
Of this country, which "have about
500, 600. 900 Of accumulated money!
are purely private and voluntary or
g~anizations, such as the farmers might
form under the general corporations
acts Of the several states. There is
no reason why the farmers cannot
. v their " money and loan It to
each other for farm Improvement as
readily and as largely as the members
Of the building associations save and
loan for building purposes.
1t is possible. of course, that bust.
ness Of this sort might be aided by
a moderate amount Of outside capital
at the outset. This is the plan adopted
in Ireland under the organization of
which Sir Horace Plunkett is the
leader, ana it has literally resulted in
profitable lending associations made
up at the beginning Of farmers almost
penniless. In the Irish organization
there Ii embodied also a plan for agri-
cultural instruction and experiments

eiple IL that of self-help and mutual
help. and this IL all-important.

n will get it by scratching while
there is a piece of grain left. The
more they scratch the better for their
health. Keep them busy.
Speaking of litter, it is we'll to keep
in mind, even though the time is some
distance off. that leaves make an ex-
cellent litter. So begin saving the
bags in which your feed comes In
the fall they will come in handy to
collect leaves for winter litter. And
when you remember that litter costs
big money in the winter, you will see
the wisdom of gathering as much
leaves as you Fan conveniently keep.

Tomorrow evening, if the weather
is good another outdoor concert will
be given by the Grand Forks Military
band in Central park. The last con-
cert was a decided success, both from
the musical standpoint and because
of the vast number of people who en-
joved it. 1t is to be hoped that the
evening will be pleasant, and that an
other large crowd will be present to
hear some good music.

The price received by the producer on
the farm is high compared with what
1t was a few years ago, when dressed
pork was worth about four cents a
pound and dressed beef about the
same figure. But most of the s to
the consumer is added after the prod
uct leaves the hands of the producer.
Just how that margin is to be lcssened
We do not know. But permitting the
Chicago packers to import free of duty
dressed eat from their foreign
houses will not do it, n apparently
the only effect that such a course
could lave would be to discourage the

Of plaster. coated on the outside with
pink plaster. He wanted to eat the
images, but he was warned on no &C

"They are poison" he was told. "1f

However, the boy was dubious. He
had been cheated before this by
grown up people. Finally he had a
young friend spend the day with him
and that night it was discovered that
one Of the images had disappeared.
His mother, nearly frantic, rushed to
him.
