Press Comment


tBenton independently Record
President Wilson has announced
himself in favor of rural credits. And.
really, we could have expected nothing
less of a man who within the past few
months has so often demonstrated his
interest in the welfare of the common
people. The farmers of the nation
nave in him a true friend. The next
year or so will undoubtedly see farm
products made good security for loans
from the governments treasure house,
This will probably not be satisfactory
to Wall Street Spectators; but the
people will approve. 1t begins to look
as though Wall Streets financial con.
troll OF the country is slipping away
from the financial barons and sliding
into the hands of Uncle Sam where it
rightly belongs.

Special Session Inevitable.

(Puyallup Valley Tribune.)
Governor Lister refuses to call a spe-
cial session of the legislature to ar
range for the election of United States
senators by direct vote until he is GER
tain that such action is necessary. Gov
ernor Lister is right in this and the
people will support him in it, despite
the efforts of the politicians.-Colfax
Commoner.
Governor Listers intentions are ad-
mittedly good; but neither he nor the
Commoner has given the subject any
more than a shallow reflection. The
governor will be obliged to call an
extra session of the legislature to pro-
vide specific way by which legally to
elect United States senator under the
new constitutional amendment. There
is at present no such statute in this
state. In the very nature OF things
nothing Is more technical than law
providing for the printing of ballots
and the holding of elections; nor Is
there anything on earth out of which
may arise more disputes, misunder-
standings and litigation than an cleo
ton. The machinery, therefore, must
to the very last detail be provided for
the secretary of state. AS for 'the eff
forts of politicians" that is sheer bun
combe-not argument There will be a

How to Treat Them In Order to Aile-

viate Their Pain.
Insect stings are among the mishaps
which befull the seeker for summer
pleasure. Even mosquito bites some
times prove annoying. If they are
treated with applications of ammonia
before they are scratched much OF
the unpleasant sting and burning will
leave them. If they have been scratch
ed so that the skin is broken the am
m0nia will burn perhaps more severe
ly than the bite does. Salt and water
is another good remedy for mosquito
bites.
Stings and bites Of other insects are
even more uncomfortable to bear than
those of mosquitoes. but are seldom
dangerous. Unless they are in the
throat or mouth they do not need the
attention Of a physician.

The treatment of bee and wasp
stings is similar. The bee leaves his
sting in the skin; the wasp takes 1t
with him. So the first thing to do to
counterfeit bee sting is to press out
the sting with a watch key II this is
possible. Salt, soda, ammonia or any
other alkali should be sopped on the

VAST Pastures Await Action.
(San Francisco Examiner)


In the past ten years the population
of the United States has increased 49,
100000 The number of beef cattle
has decreased 100000. If the increase
and decrease keep up the same ratio
the proportion of beef cattle to popula-
ton will be as 40 to 100. Ten years
ago the proportion was as 81 to rs.
The price of beef, unless something is
done, will be prohibitive, except to the
we'll to do.
Millions of acres in Alaska are
adapted to raising cattle of the hardy
breeds, such as the Scotch and Norwe-
gians raise. These acres are good for
nothing else and never will be good
for anything else. If Congress would
enact range laws for Alaska so that
cattlemen could put herds on these
vast pasture fields, the beef famine
would be adjourned to a much later
date than is now set for 1t.

itating the movement of crops by plac-
ing from fifty to one hundred millions

common query is, Why has it not been

and Couples Rush Weddings.

November, which as rule, is not

brides and bridegrooms, this year has
proved rival for June for matrimo-
NAL honors and more couples have en-
barked upon the sea of matrimony dur
ing November than was ever known be-
fore in the county. Prospective hus-
bands generally prefer to take this i'm

good start on family expenses before

son. But the number of licenses taken
out in November shows that Kenosha
couples have "wised up'' to the fact
that it is going to be more difficult to
get married in Kenosha county later on.
1t is just possible that the little love

forms will be printed by the state and

Applicants must appear at the court
house with the certificate OF health be-

county regarding the operation or the
enforcement of the new law, but they
are expected to be forthcoming within
a few weeks.
Uncertainty as to the intent of the
Jew law and lack of familiarity with
its provisions has caused numerous
couples TO get their licenses during the

REMEDY FOR bed BUGS. =
Birthstone is Declared to be Best Dope
for Old and Close Friends of Bed.

The United States Department of
Agriculture has been experimenting on
the problem Of DISCRIMINATING the SCh-
mex lectularius, = which the official bull
letin explains is called by many names
in different localities, one of the COM
mon names being .bed bugs
In the official bulletin sent out to the
newspapers the department gives sure
remedy for the pest. Those of our
readers who have never met the "Cli-
mex lectularius never know when the
dreaded pest may be found at homeo
and are advised to clip out the creme
dy'' and keep it filed awy for future
reference.
After saying that kerosene, benzine
and oil of turpentine are of value, the
department gives the "sure remedy
as follows:
Place in the center of the room a
dish containing about four ounces of
birthstone, within a large vessel, so
that the possible overlooking Of the
burning mass may not injure the car
pet or set fire to the floor. After re-
moving from the room all such metallic
surfaces as might be affected by the
fumes, close every aperture, even the
keyholes, and set fire to the birthstone
When four or five hours have elapsed
the room may be entered and the win
dows opened for thorough airing"

The amount of the fine assessed
against three Kenosha county men, and
it was the minimum under the law, for
bringing cattle into the state which
had not been tested for tuberculosis
was large enough to convince even the
men who can see no good in having
such law on the statute books of the
state that it is dangerous to violate it.
1T is evident that there is not the slight
est intention on the part of tie state
officials to permit this law to become
q dead letter and that it is to be en-
forced to the limit. The law is con-
sistent with the methods of protecting
the herds now in use in this state and
the dairymen and stock raisers who be-
heve in maintaining the standards OF
the state will aid in it's enforcement.
There can be no argument on the
proposition that so long as the state
requires tuberculin tests for its own
cattle the herds should not be exposed
to the danger of infection by cattle
shipped in from outside points without
being tested.

The long cherished idea that the

game declare that the passage of the

The warning of the county surveyor
to the effect that the old government
land marks are being rapidly obliterat-
ed, issued to the count board of super
visors as a result of an investigation
made by him OF the condition of the
records in the county surveyor s Of
fee, should be noted by the property
owners in the city and county and ar
rangements made to have new survey
made as soon as possible. Many of the
land marks noted in the government
survey made over seventy years ago
from which all ofthe lines establishing
the boundaries of sections and quarter
sections in the county run, have en-
tirely disappeared, but enough Of them
remain from which to make an abso-
lutely accuratee survey and to establish
permanent marks which shall serve as
basis for all future triangulations if
this work is undertaken within a rea-
sonable time as it should be. 1t was
held by the board Of supervisors that
the movement for new survey must
originate in the several towns of the
county and that it must, under the law,
be taken up by each town separately,
but the matter is such an important one
that it should not prove to be case
of what is everybody business being
nobody's business and the whole sur
vey neglected. Further delay means
the disappearance of more of the marks
and makes the work of the new survey
increasingly difficult. There should be
enough property owners in each town
who recognize the great Importance of
having absolutely accurate records in
the county surveyors Office to start the
petitions going that will result in
new survey of the whole county.
Furthermore, it is an open secret among
real estate men and attorneys that the
city surveys are in chaotic condition
and while the rest of the county is
cleaning up its records, the city should
check up the plats of its division and
subdivisions "on file and of record -
and set permanent marks establishing
the lines as they now stand Nothing
is more certain than that if the rec
ords of the surveyors Office are per-
mitted to get into such state of con-
fusion that the exact location of the
lines will cost thousand times as
much as it would cost now to make
new survey and establish permanent
marks.

The health officials are more than
ever convinced now that the outbreak
Of small pox in the spring was not al
together bad thing The hundreds OF
vaccinations which followed then will
do much at this time to prevent the
disease getting much of a foothold in
the city when general conditions are
much more favorable for its spread than
they could be in warmer weather The
health officers are taking no chances
and every one who is not sure OF his
vaccination is urged to submit to the
operation at once, but they are CON
WINGED that the very general VAGINA
.tion which took place last spring was
the best possible preparation for these
sporadic outbreaks Of the disease which
must be expected in this state at any
time.

have them. The Chicago bunch seem to

less you want to give them a card that
would be record breaker for the price
of a picture show.
1t was expected that a lot of the
stock of the new Badger club would
be taken by Chicago fight promoters
and big promises were made on the
earning capacity of the stock but as yet
there has been no great rush to get
in on the ground floor and get the stock
in the club and most of the stock sold
has been taken by local promoters of
the club. 1t is just possible that box
ing shows are too numerous about the
state just at the present time and that
later when some of the clubs give up
the business that there will be chance
for the Kenosha promoters.
Until such time the game will be al
