Claim No Jurisdiction.

Pierre.-The hearing before the
state railway commission on the nat
ter of telephone troubles at Mitchell
and Mobridge. was attended by the tel
phone men interested. who made a
statement Of the situation from their
standpoint. Mayor Hitchcock and
City Attorney Miller of Mitchell filed
an affidavit of special appearance"
in which they took the ground that
the state railway commission has no
jurisdiction over local telephone sys-
TENS, their jurisdiction being limited
10 long distance lines. The Milwau-
kee Railway company has informed
the commission that they will comply

Marshall counties.

Red Lake Ownership.

Chamberlain.-Judge Frank Smith
held court here for a hearing rela-
tive to the ownership of Red Lake.
By a large majority of the voters of
Brule county at the general election
last fall it was voted to put down ar
large lake. But a protest was at once
made by the adjoining land owners
and it now looks as if the adjacent
land owners will secure the title to
this land, the same as the owners did
to the large tract of lake bed land in
Sanborn county and which has recent
ly been ditched out and made tillable.
The government made the vital mis-
take on all meandered streams and
lakes in this part of the northwest
that provision was not reserved along
the shore granting the privilege to an
Choir boats, to build cottages and to
at the very best to provide with water
if necessary to protect fish that they
may be suffering for water in these
lake beds. AS our law now stands no
n has the right to fish along the
banks of our lakes and streams except
at the section lines, although these
waters may be stocked with fish at
u governments expense. Red lake
has now been dry for six years, and is
being used as grazing lands.

Pierre.-Park B. Jenkins. superin-
tendent of the state board of health,
mas been busy for some time in franz
ing the new regulations governing the

regulations are subject to approval
of the complete board, in substance
they cover a much wider range than
any of the older regulations in regard
to diseases which are subject to re.
ports to the health department, and
attempts to control the same. Among
these diseases which are added to the
older regulations being typhoid fever,
pneumonia and tuberculosis along
with a number of less common dis
eases.
The matter of control of different
disease is not attempted under one
rigid system, but each is handled as
a separate proposition SO far as con-
troll are concerned, ranging all the
way from close quarantine Of the
building in cases of scarlet fever and
diphtheria, down TO mere supervision
of health officers in milder diseases,
scallpox being covered either by the
removal of the patient to an isolation
hospital or isolation in a particular
room of a building without attempting
to close the building completely. In
cases of measles the house is to be
placarded, and it is left to any who
wish to enter the premises after such
warning if they so desire. The quar-.
antine to show what disease exists.
In cases of typhoid, pneumonia and
tuberculosis supervision is all which
is to be attempted by the health au-
thorities, with stricter measures in
case health warnings and regulations
in such case are not observed. Tu-
bercular patients are not to be allow
ed to handle food stuffs of any class
which are offered for sale.
Strict regulations in regard to pro-
lection of food stutfs are included. re-
curing all bakery goods, confection-
cry, meats, fruits, vegetables, and all
food stuffs not protected in closed re-
ceptables, to be protected by glass.
wood or metal cases both fly and dust
proof.
Teachers in schools are required to
report to the head of the school daily
on illness of any of their pupils, and
it is the duty of such school head to
report to the health officers. Plans
for all public buildings must be ap-
proved by the state board as to sani-
tary regulations before work begins
on the structure.

In Conclusion.

Still other crops that may be used
which should be sown in August and
allowed to get considerable start in
the fall. If moisture conditions are
favorable, much late fall and early
winter pasturage will be obtained. 1t
will also furnish early spring pasture.
Seed at the rate of one and one-halt
bushels per acre. 1t is not a bad
practice to pasture in the spring until
rye is to rank for best results and
then plow under as a green manure
crop recede corn. The hog lots and
nearby pasture lands can be utilized
very nicely by putting them in rye in
the fall, getting the fall and spring
pasture, then pillow and put in Squaw
corn for a crop to hog off"
Buckwheat is another that nay be
used as a green manure crop or for
forage. 1t is an early maturing crop
and the grain is valuable for poultry
and hogs. 1t may lie used as a soil.

in time to get out of its way.
If the live stock industry is to grow
and flourish. more attention must be
given to hay and pasture crops. We
are decidedly in favor Of the perma.
tame hay, hat is alfalfa, bronze
grass, timothy, or clover. etc, but
while these are not available the silo
is one of the best ways to supple
ment these crops and then the above
mentioned hay, pasture and soiling
crops come in.

Oppose Increase.

Pierre.-The representatives Of the
different express companies made
their pleas against increased valua-
ton before the state board Wednes-
day and were given fifteen days in
which to file written briefs, with the
final decision of the commission TO
be later in August. The representa-
tives stated that 50 per cent of their
business is interstate, and that the
state authorities have no right to con-
sioer this in fixing a tax rate on them,
but must confne themselves to the
Is per Ger of business in the state.

Paint stains are easily removed
when they are fresh, but they are not
generally discovered until they are
dried. To remove wet paint from

Capitol Parkinu.

Pierre.-Plans for the parking on
the capitol grounds have been re-
ceived, and show that the use Of ma
tive trees is to be general in the dec
orative scheme. using largely elm
and blackberry for deciduous trees and
Black Hills spruce for evergreens.
The trees are scattered in irregular
groups or the grounds, and no set
straight lines of planting are fol-
lowed.

not a great deal of rough feed is con.
sumed and they should have prairie
or tame hay with their grain in pref.
erence to millet.
Sorghum.
Sorghum, or cane, as it is
ly called, is a hay or forage crop that
is badly overlooked. Early Amber is
Il OF the best varieties for early
maturing fodder and requires from
eighty to one hundred days to ma
ture fodder. The Orange varieties
should be allowed about ten DAYS
more. In any case, this seed should
be sown early in July. The seed may
either be sown broadcast or drilled,
the rate of sowing is from one and
one-half to two bushels per acre With
slightly less in amount if drilled. If
the seed is sown broadcast, the fodder
can usually be harvested with the or
binary grain binder. If. however. it
has been drilled in rows and cult
waited, the corn binder can be used
to the best advantage. When the crop
is harvested with grain or corn binder
the bundles should be shocked in
small shocks until they are we'll dried
out, when they may either be placed
III large shocks stacked up near the
barns or feed yards, or better still
put IN he haymow. This crop yields
from three to six tons cured forage
per acre. Sorghum hay could be fed
to cattle, sheep and horses with good
results. If cut green for a soiling
crop, it is very satisfactory for hogs.
II you have never had any experience
with this forage crop, try a little this
year and see for yourself what it will
do.

Corn.

Most every farmer is familiar with
the value Of corn as a supplementary
forage crop. 1t can be grown in lots
near the barns and cut and fed as
a soiling crop for hogs and dairy
cows, or allowed to get just past the
roasting ear stage when the hogs can
be turned in and let hog it off"
Either sweet corn or Squaw corr will
give the earliest feed for this
The ordinary Dent varieties do well
OF follow these for later use. In many
states this practice of allowing the
hogs to be their own h~arvesters is
followed out very successfully. The
corn crop can also be cut for fodder,
or put in the silo when the grain is
ripe. 1t is needless to dwell on the
value of this corn forage crop, for it
has already been used on almost every
farm.

The girl away at college would sure
ly be overjoyed with a shoe bag
which she can hang inside her closet
door. The shoe bag should be half
the length of the door with compart.
ments for shoes, slippers and rubbers
and long compartment on one side
for an umbrella, and on the other for
books not in use. The materials used
should be heavy denim with the COM
partments bound In tape.
A pleasing notion would be to make
any articles for the girls away at col
lege In their college colors. A piece
of gay colored cretonne bound all
around with pretty braid would also
be acceptable as a trunk cover.
Dear to every girls heart are pretty
dress accessories. The new Robes
pierre collars with jabots Of frilly lace
certainly will be welcome addition to
| your friends wardrobes. The collars
are usually made Of black satin with
the ruffles of lace about two inches
wide.
Chic boudoir caps are made Of cir
cles of shadow lace IS inches wide
with soft ruffies of narrow lace around
the crown. The ruffles should be made
in the back wider than in the front
to give the effect of Dutch bonnet.
The cap is decorated with little pink
rosebuds and band of pink ribbon.
Exquisite La France roses are made
out of folded satin ribbon In three-inch
lengths. Turn the ends back at the cor
ners to form the petals. Group the
petals together and join to wire
stem which has been twisted with mar
row green satin.

boudoir lamp shades, which are much
admired when inserted with medal
ions of fine lace.
For the invalid a thoughtful little

der no circumstances would the mex
Christmas season find you in a rush
and hustle, planning and finishing be
lated Christmas gifts. What an idle
dream that was. for here 1t is Christ
mas time approaching again, and you
are racking your brain and attempting
to decide what to give at the eleventh
hour. in a great hurry and turmoil
Isn't 1t so?
What not to give, would be a more
appropriate phrase. For in the selec.
ton of your gifts some regard has
to be given to the adaptability and the
utility Of the present. A wise idea is
to spend more time than money in
thinking what would be suitable and
practicable for each individual. Your
gift would be all the more appreciated
II 1t expresses something of yourself
and shows that your own personal
thoughts have been bestowed upon a
selection of the tokens.
The real essence of the Christmas
spirit is not expenditure. How easy
1t is to purchase gorgeous gifts II one
has a well filed purse! But If the re-
cipient can buy the same article with
little effort, the gift idea will not be
remembered for very long. Let your
gifts be expressions of love and
thoughtfulness. The thought and time
you put In gifts of your own handi-
work will mean much more than IL
you simply give something for the
sake Of giving.
The cost of homemade gifts is gen.
orally small. A multitude of gifts can
be contrived of materials you have at
hand, and of odd pieces Of linen, rib
bons and silk Clever fingers can
fashion charming novelties. Gladness
is the keynote OF the Yuletide season.
Go at your tasks In a cheerful, blith-
some manner, and you will find your
work one of Joy. The following sug-
gestions may provide you with numer-
Gus ideas for attractive gifts, which
may be made inexpensively.
With little effort dainty sachets to
perfume your friends gowns may be
made at very small cost. Make six
sachets in pastel shades of satin rib
bon about two inches square. FIJI
with soft cotton busted with some
fragrant sachet powder. Place the
sachets one on top of the other and
tie with narrow gauze ribbon. Gilt
safety pins are attached to each
sachet so the bags can be pinned on
the different frocks.
One distinct novelty is a colonial
pin cushion. For this unique cushion
you will have to purchase a glass can.
dlestick In simple design. Cover
one side Of a four-inch square OF card
board with some pretty silk which
harmonizes with the color scheme of
your friends bedrooms. Form
mound-like cushion of cotton on the
other side and cover with the silk.
The cushion is fastened to the candle
stick by fine wires or thread. Around
the edge of the cushion sew a beaded
fringe about three inches long.
Another pin cushion has for the
foundation a four-inch wire tea strain
er. The back Is fitted with a disk Of
cotton covered in cretonne. The wire
part is lined with Powered cretonne
and filled with cotton. Wind the ham
