NORTH DAKOTA STREAMS IN NEED
OF PURFCAT|0K, SAYS RBUD|CER
Head of Public Health Labo ratory, Giving Report of the
Work in This State, Declares that Pollution Must
Stop-Means Safety of Health.

The success which North Dakota
has met in the solution of a practical
problem has attracted the attention
Of a number of states throughout the
country. In consequence of this.
measures were taken to procure 81
report of the results of the investiga-
ton made by the public health labora-
tory of the University of North Da-
kota on the purity of natural ice from
polluted waters.
The report of this investigation was
given last week in Chicago by DR..
Gustav F.. Ruediser, director of the
public health laboratory of the Uni
versity of North Dakota. at the fifth
annual meeting of the Natural Ice
Association of America. Experts
from all parts of the country We're in
attendance and many problems were
given consideration and taken under
advisement. From, the point Of view
Of health. these problems demand and
are receiving more and more atten-
ton every year.
Streams Need Purifying.
Everybody who has given the mat
ter any thought is fully aware that
nearly all streams in America are SC
heavily polluted with sewage and
other wastes that their waters are
entirely unfit for drinking purposes.

The situation is made even more
serious because practically all factory
wastes. creamery and brewery wastes
ind their way into the rivers and not
infrequently there is found floating
there the carcass of some dead ami
NAL. AS a result some of the streams
in America have already become so
foul that they r entirely unsuited
for outdoor sports and recreation and
their waters are so bad that 1t is al
most Impossible to bring about a suf-
fcient degree Of publication to render
them safe and suitable for drinking
and. cooking purposes.
For these reasons measures will be
taken to put a stop to this wholesale
pollution Of lakes and rivers. The
plan is to have these wastes dis
tributed on the land where they may
enrich the soil: also the waters are to
be purified by means of one of the
processes that have been perfected.
Samples of Ice Examined.
The fact that ice supplies are de-
rived from these heavily polluted
rivers and lakes adds to the serious
ness of the situation as it is necessary
that the ice be used in the condition
in which it Is found when harvested.

cess Of publication.

NO GAIN TO
FARMERS BY
TARIFF Law
implement Imports So Small
That Reduction Will Not
be Noticeable
HAY BUY BAGS
AT LOWER PRICES
By BOND P. GEDDEs.

;tafi Correspondent of The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The farmer
sin without question share equally with
other folks in the general retail price
reduction aimed at in the new tariff law.
Specifically the new law offers little
hope Of reduced prices upon the things
he buys to equip and work his farm.
Democrats argue in defense of tine new
law that they have placed agricultural
implements on the free list for the
farmers benefit.
They DID remove a tariff of Is per
cent, and make free of duty imports of
plows. harrows, headers. harvesters,
drills, planters, mowers rakes. cultiva-
tors, thrashing machines, wagons and
carts, cotton gins and sugar machinery.
This was an attempted blow at the
"trust.' But American implements are
20 much superior to foreign makes that
Foreign competition has heretofore been
barred. Imports, with the moderate duty
Df 10 per cent, in 1910, amounted to
only $4,000, and TO $4,000 last year.
I'm 1896, under former Democratic
tariff bill, when implements were for
mally on the FREQ list, imports aggre-
Eulcu ouoOV. nal lno foreign imports
tannot possibly force down retail prices
here Is believed certainty, because
American manufacturers produced
Bl46,000,000 worth last year and even
exported 35,600,00O worth.
So il is believed that the Democratic
plan of taking off duty on implements
will not put dollar in the farmers
pockets. The same situation obtains
regarding barbcd wire, a big item for
Western farmers small duty was
fal1en Of wire But foreign imports
last year were only 5000, while Ameri-
can manufactures were worth Sl3.s0O,-
200. II is deemed certain that foreign
fencing wire manufacturers cannot com
pete sufficiently here TO force retail
prices lower
Farmers may, however, be able to buy
bags for their grain slightly cheaper,
because Of tarid reduction of II per
rent. and ability of foreign manufac-
furers 10 compete. Cotton producers
may also buy cotton ties' slightly
fheaper
While duties on horses and mules are
greatly reduced and breeding animals
admitted free of duty, the actual saving
TO the ordinary farmer, upon all fair
calculations. will be small.
