WILL PROSECUTE
State Investigating Committee to
Go After Former State
Treasures

Pierre, Sept. 5.-Aroused by the
showing that at least 800, 600 was
pulled down in ''perousal perquisites'
by former state %treasurers, which mon
ey should have zone into the state
treasury, the members of the inves-
tigating committee and present state
administration will start criminal and
civil actions for the restoration of some
OF this money.
For some time the committees re-
search has been along the line of To-
eating interest payments made to form
Ell state ~treasurers, and which were not
accounted for in the records During
the recent trip to the Black Hills
country the members of the committee
made Investigations at several banks
which gave them reliable information
on this point.
Reports are now in preparation by
the committee on the subject of un-
recorded interest collections and tire
complete showing viii soon be filed
with the governor and attorney gener-
al. A recommendation will be made
that the attorney general start action
for restoration of these funds, and
that in cases where liability is de-
MED criminal actions be- instituted.
Previous to the 1917 session Of the
state Legislature the interest restriction
applying to state treasurers was not
very clearly defined but there never
has been any legal situation giving
the treasurers the right to personally
convert money derived from interest
on state funds.

FIGHTING CATTLE TICK.
Tennessee to Be First Southern state
Freed From Quarantine.

Washington.-The presence of the
tick among cattle In the southern
states lessons the value of cattle on 10
hoof and causes a lower grading
hides, which means to the produc u
loss Of many thousands of dollars, says
a department of agriculture report on
the ravages Of the pest.
Experts asserted that southern cat
tie raisers lose $1.26 on every hide in
tested with the tick. Campaigns to
eradicate the pest have been waged
with considerable success by bureau
OF animal industry veterinarians. Ten
nessee probably will be the first state
to be entirely free from the quarantine
against the tick, which already has
been eradicated in ffty-one counties.
Cattle raisers have spent less than
90 cents per head in the campaign in
Tennessee, while they have gained
about 81 per head thereby.

other fruit trees. all of which are
bearing heavily this year.

True Value of Our Life.

There is so much for us to do,
so many wrongs to be made right
and so many evils to be remided
that a consideration of the petty
chickering's of life is far beneath
our notice. So long as life runs
smoothly in its usual channel we
are inclined to attach great import
ance to the minor details of exist
ance and in time yield largely to
their influence.
The terrible test of some great
)ife's true values The greatest
success that can be attained, the
highest station that can be achiev-
ed are as nothing in the closing
hours of IA mans life. Then it is
that he scrutinizes his part for the
least vestige of personal good
which he has wrought and it is
that memory alone which is worth
anything at all to him. He cannot
derive much comfort from his
wealth he has accumulated, or the
social distinction he has attained,
but he can and does rely for his
eternal reward upon the unselish
and simple service he has render
ed for the welfare of others. The
life upon which we place so high
a value must end some time, soon
err perhaps than we imagine. We
must build for the future indeed,
not blindly, not selfishly, not bru-
tally, but in thai spirit of brave
fellowship which measures up to
every emergency.

Something for Writer.

Here is a suggestion for child
ren, especially for country child
rem and their teachers. Some of
the youthful farmers who have
made two ears of corn grow where
none grew before ought to be par
ticularly interested in it. 1t comes
from Mr.. Richard Haughton, who
tells in the Rural New Yorker"
of some experiments he and his
brother have made on their farm
in Chester County, Pa, to find
the best method of preparing soil
for sowing alfalfa. The expert
ment is the same as that suggested
by Professor Milton Whitney in
Circular IS, Bureau of Soils, L. 5.
Department of Agriculture. 1t
consists of testing, by planting
seed in pots. the actual soil of the
farm under various conditions of
fertilization. The disadvantage of
the usual scheme of devoting sew
eral plots of the farm itself 10 the
crop under test is that it is COM
paratively expensive, and that at
least season is used in arriving at
the result.
The advantage of the pot expe-
riment is that it is cheap and may
be carried on in winter indoors.
Especially constructed wire pots
are used, different soils put in
each, and the result is known in a
few weeks. There is photo
graph of eighteen of these pots
accompanying Mr.. Haughton's
article. To some ground lime
stone had been added; to Others
