ONE instance In many that happen
every day and that are not chronicled.
Since the death Of Mr. Walker there
have been several other sufferers from
q like error.
From the beginning of time people
have profited by the mistakes Of others,
but when one does something to injure
himself he realizes that he Is the victim
of his own actions. How much MORE
must the self-reproach and distress be
felt when a wrong Is unwittingly dealt
to ANOTHER? And yet daily do people
60 to medicine chests and administer
the WRONG drug.
Times without number a wrong drug
is given; though not as poisonous as the
particular cases mentioned; and, happily
the patient survives. How many little
children are made to suffer by mistaken
bottles can never be estimated. And
often the fact that an error has been
made Is NOT KNOWN unless the
symptoms become serious.

that results in self-injury. but how

And often, sad to relate. the thing

In cases Of this kind the ounce Of
prevention saves the pound Of pain. TO

marks the stitch in time that saves

but those about us, with its consequent

STOCKMEN PARTICI-
PATE In MANAGEMENT

During the fiscal year, according to a
report of the U. S. forest service, 81
local organizations Of stock-growers
using national forests ranges have ap-
piled for and secured the official recog-
milton of their advisory boards by the
forest service. This brings the number
of associations officially recognized by
the forest service to total of lis.
Through the medium of these advisory
boards several thousand stockmen who
Craze stock upon the national forests
now take an active part in discussing
all problems of forest administration
which affect their interests. The result,
states the forest service report, has
been the elimination of misunderstood
ing regarding the requirements of the
stock interests and an improvement in
methods of range control which has
won the endorsement and approval of
the large majority of the persons who
depend upon the national forests for
the pasturage of their stock.
Two of the stockmen's associations
are national in their scope and one is
a state organization. The remaining liz
are local organizations. The stockmen
have, it is said, been successful in Sc
curing advisory boards composed of
broad minded, unselfish men of wide
practical experience who have worked
for the best interests Of their industry
but at the same time have given intelli
gent consideration to the need for for
est protection, and who therefore have
directed their recommendations along
constructive lines.
The recent order of Secretary Hous
ton extending official recogni ton to
ORDINATIONS of other classes of forest
users is said to have resulted mainly
from the large measure of success won
by the cooperation of the government
with the stockmen.

The stock industry of the south
west is confronted by a more
serious menace than the elimi-
nation of the protective tariff on
cattle. Many, even the stock
men, are not aware that in north
ern Mexico a destructive cater
pill, first noticed as a pest on
range grasses only five years
ago, has gradually become one
of the worst insect pests of the
southwest. The problem of deal
ing with range caterpillar is not
merely a local problem in the
district in New Mexico where
the. insect is at present confined.
1t is a problem of wide interest
and is very fortunately receiving
the attention Of the Bureau OF
Entomology of the United States

CATTLE CERTAINLY
IS VANISHING

The country is becoming alarm
ed over the disappearing supply
Of cattle and the increasing cost
Of beef. For this condition the
government is largely responsible
because of the inadequacy of the
/ land laws. The western free
ranges came to an end with the
invasion of the homesteader and
| the extension of agricultural laws
over vast areas of country fit for
grazing only. These laws expell
the cattle from the ranges with
out replacing them with even
approximately their value in farm
products.
Free ranges, were, Of course,
only a temporary condition, but
why might not the government
have adopted a system of long
time leases or the sale of the lands
at low prices to cattle men.
Millions of acres, now producing
nothing of ultimate value, might
have been utilized for pasture.
The cattle industry is special
brand of production the world
over. When included with agri-
cultural lands it becomes too
costly. 1t is economic only when
large areas of pasture, unfit for
cultivation, are set apart for it.
Competing countries like Ar
gentlna and Australia, raise cat
tle cheaply on vast grazing
grounds in private ownership or
leaSeS at small prices. Our West
efn ranges no longer can meet
tnS competition. The entry of
aOmeSteaders, here and there,

d community with them, and

Volga Tribune: While many of the
hog shippers in South Dakota and other
northwestern s.ates have lost hundreds
of animals from heat during shipment
to market, the local shippers and
buyers, Lehman & Samis, have lost
very little or none at all. A week
ago last Saturday afternoon, one of
the hottest DAYS of the summer, they
shipped two carloads of hogs to Sioux
City without losing an animal, but
they prepared the cars for hot weather
travel, and while this preparation
means added expense and lots of
trouble, it is good insurance against
serious loss from heat. The local firm
first had the bottom of the cars covered
with a few inches of sand and this sand
was then wet with cold water as The
sand would we'll hold being used.
Then large cakes of ice were broken
into three or four pieces and put in
gunny sacks which we're placed at in
~tervals throughout the cars. The wet
sand and ice kept the temperature Of
the cars down to the point that il
makes it possible to ship hogs on the
hottest days with comparative safety
from loss.

LAKE ANDES BANKER
Has Judgment In the Sum of
$4,000 Entered Against
Him

Sioux Falls, July 1t.-Judge j. d..
Elliott has just handed down a decision
in a bankruptcy case which hits Il
Lake Andes banking house pretty hard.
Davis 81 Son was a mercantile house
at Lake Andes. They had a number
of creditors in Sioux City. Albert
Amundson, the Lake Andes banker,
took over assets of Davis d Son. and
the Sioux City creditors claimed fraud
and brought an action against the
Lake Andes banker. Judge Elliott
has now found in favor of the Sioux
City creditors and has entered judg-
ment against Banker Amunson in the
amount of $40, 300.
Much interest has been manifested in
the case by attorneys of Sioux Falls
and for that matter throughout the en-
tire section as there were many IN
usual circumstances surrounding the
case.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1913-07-11

When the Sioux City creditors first
became suspicious they engaged attor-
neys to investigate and the attorneys
pronounced Davis & Son insolyent.
Before the Sioux City creditors had
time to institute bankruptcy proceed
ings against the firm, Davis a. Son
dissolved partnership, the SON Ernest
Davis taking possession of the mer-
chandise stock, the invoice value Of
which was placed at $40, 300. Amund-
son. the banker, held a note against
the Davis people for SO. 900. which
was discounted in trade which in.
cluded the exchange of all the merchsn-
disc and 40 acres of land neal Lake
Andes. The sou then under the United
States laws declared himself exempt.
