In Iowa this act must be done in the
presence of witnesses and in all
cases it is best to do so.
On the death of the maker, those
interested in the will usually secure
the services of an attorney in hav-
ing it probated and the estate adj
ministered. Of coarse, the person
| named in the will as executor may
himself place it before the probate,
or similar court, but he usually
finds it simpler to have a lawyer
arrange matters. If no executor
has been named by the maker
in his will, an administrator is
appointed by the court. 1t is the
duty of executor or administrator
to care for the deceased's property
and see that it is distributed &C.
cording to the terms of the will un-
der the direction of the court. Of
course, the will and proof of the
makers death must first be placed
before the court and the validity of
the will established.
In determining the meaning of
will, the court is always guided by
the cardinal principal that the in
tention of the maker of the will is
to be determined as accurately as
possible from the instrument and
effect given thereto.
The task of the person making a
will is to realize its Importance,
weigh all the possibilities carefully
and state them clearly. The task
of the lawyer is to warn the maker
of the various contingencies that
may arise in the makers peculiar
circumstances to effect the disposi-
ton of his property and to see that
all of the necessary forma lities have
been complied with. A will is not a
thing to be made hastily, or without
information. Consider thoroughly
and then act carefully.

We do not advise paying children
so much a quart for flies. This
occasionally may tend to encourage
the continuance of breeding places
for flies. The flies should be swat
ted wherever found. 1t is far more
satisfactory. however, TO destroy
the breeding places for flies than 1t
is to kill them through the organi-
cation of fy-swatting campaigns.
The fly must be destroyed wherever
found as a matter of immediate pro-
lection. When the breeding places
are properly removed, or attended
to, there will be but little necessity
for further action to almost COM
pletely exterminate this dangerous
nuisance. The fly is not only
disease producing agency, but it is
the filthiest of all insects. There is
nothing too vile or too nice for him
to visit. AS high as 10000 bacteria
(germs) have been found on single
fly. A particularly favorite haunt
of the house fly is the baby nursing
bottle, and the little graves in our
cemetery stand as lasting monu-
ment to the dangers of this pest and
reproach upon the neglect of duty.

Friday, June 9th will be the Okla
homa Ranch Wild West Day in
River Falls. The event will be
signalized by what is described as
the most novel and picturesque
street parade ever offered as a free
spectacle to the public by any man
ager of an outdoor amusement en-
terprise. Hundreds of interesting
characters will be in line. There
will be cowboys from some of the
most famous Western ranches, with
champions of the Pendleton Round
up the Calgary Stampede and other
great Wild West gatherings. There
will be over fifty cowgirls, every one
of them daring rider of wild
horses from childhood. There will
be scores of Indians, in all the pan
oply of war-bonnets, gay blankets
and beaded ornamentation, accom-
panied by their SOU avs and pap
posses. There will be reckless
riders from Cossack Land, bull
fighters and lariat-throwers from
Mexico, and more other strange and
curious people than have ever be
fore, it is declared, been seen in a
single street display. With all this
there will be what is said to be an
unusually notable exhibition of fine
horses in the gorgeous tableaux
section, which serves to illustrate
in series of living pictures, scenes
and incidents in the stirring days of
the pioneers. Ten kinds of music
will enliven the line, and the oldest
genuine stage coach in existence
will be driven by one of the most
famous of the old-time overland
mail drivers. The parade will be
preliminary to what is expected to
prove one of the most interesting
and complete Wild West exhibitions
ever seen in this city. A perform
ance of infinite variety is promised.
Col. lack Mulhall, the famous
Oklahoma rancher and founder of
the town of Mulhall, and his equal.
ly famous daughters, Lucilla and
George, will give series of re-
markable exhibitions with the lari-
at, and illustrate in an exciting way
the ranch method CT controlling
wild horses. A big band of cow
boys and cowgirls will give genu-
inc roundup with Texas steers, and
incidentally contribute few exhil.
arating experiments in "broncho
busting" There will be border
dramas in which the Indians will be
picturesquely utilized, and Next
cans and Cossacks will contribute
to the general strenuousnes of the
big show. AS an extra feature of
sensational effectiveness, there is
an auto polo game, with four racing
machines and expert players. Per-
formances begin at 2:15 and Bis
ady.

SENATE COMMITTEE
MAY L|GHTEN LABOR
Banking and Currency Legis-
Iation and the Tariff to Be
Separated.

Talk of revision of the currency laws as
well as the tariff law at the extra session
of Congress this spring, under democratic
auspices, has given rise to the suggestion
among democratic senators that the pres
ent Senate finance committee be split into
two committees-one to handle tariff mat
tiers and the other to consider banking
and currency legislation
Under the present organization of the
Senate the finance committee considers
bUtA tariff and monetary legislation.
In the House these duties are divided
between the ways and means commit
tee and the banking and currency COM
mittee. A similar division of labor
would be made in the Senate should
proposals under discussion now take
definite shape.
The change is specially urged at
present because it would be practically
impossible it is said for one commit
tee to handle both tariff and currency
legislation at single session of Con-
