DECLARED DRAW.
Sanders Johnson Bcst at Ashland Declared
Draw.

The wrestling match staged at the Grand
Opera House in Ashland last Tuesday
evening was some srassel and was enjoyed
By large rcrowd Of wrestling fans.
In the preliminaries Lester Prothero won
over Fogerty in straight falls in 5 and 5
minutes respectfully. while Policeman
Thompson and Bob Sanders, the pugilist.
wrestled 20 minutes TO a draw and the clev-
er work did by the boys put the crowd in
good humor for the main bout which start
ed at 1910. Sanders secured the first and
only fall in 81 minutes and 26 seconds by a
scissors and toe hold and was crammed full
of the fastest kind Of work AT no time
during the bout was Sanders in danger,
while he had Johnson at his mercy at all
times, but credit is due Johnson for his
clever work. In justice to Elmer it must
be said he was in no condition to vrestle as
he was i'll, but would not cancel the date af-
ter it being arranged.
The men in the second bout went one
hour and thirry-6ve, mirutes without a fall
when both men agreed to call the bout a
draw, but had Sanders been in condition
Johnson could never have secured draw
In this boy Sanders Ashland can well feel
proud as he is certainly a conner and hard
customer to handle.
Walter Willoughby, of Mellen, Wis,
just previous to the main bout challenged
the winner Of the main bout and as Sanders
was really the winner, match will be ar
ranged between these two men and take it
from me Bill it will be some match as
Willoughby is an old fox at the game and
Sanders as good as they make them with
the odds in Elmer's favor, as he has youth,
strength and speed and is some wrestler
himself WilIoughby oficiared as referee
in the Tuesday evening bout.

RELITTLE THE RED RACE As A WHOLE
Which We AS Part OF That Red Face
Take Exception Too.

In the Duluth News Tribune Of
March 16, 1914. Superior department.
we noticed an article written by one
II. B. Mills, Federal Customs cor
lector in which he undertakes TO be-
little the redman. The article itself
shows the snallness and narrow
mindedness of the man and il M.
Mills can find no better way to get his
name before the people. to belittle 4
people, that are so superior to him
in every way that they could not
be mentioned in the same breath,
then he should not begin. He says
'the Indians of today are a degen-
eratev Well, if they are then we
must say there is. no classification
for Mills. He undoubtedly would like
people throughout the width and
breadth of this country to believe he
is an authority on the Indian, but the
fact remains from the impression Re-
ceived on reading his article, that he
IS sadly lacking in the qualities Of a
gentleman and critic So farssssas
the indian Of todayis concerned, they
are, with very few exceptions, more

both from the gentleman and general
makeup standpoint than Mills ever
dared be-
We doubt if Mr.. Mills fully under
stands what the word degenerate
really means? He says in his youth
he lived near a reservation, that may
be SO, but he would never be allowed
today to live on = reservation from
the fact that just such men as Mills
are doing more harm to mankind
than good, and for fear Of his asso-
citation with true men might really be
the means OF degenerating them.
When Mr. Mills says the redmen as
a race is degcnerating, it i: i
slap in the face of the mob
lest race of people that ever
strode this universe and carries a
wide scope. What, Mr.. Mills, is the
red man Of today, but a highly edu-.
Gated person and one that has ad-
vanced SO far in modern civilization
that the whole world is astonished
and it will be but a matter of a few
years more when he will again reign
supreme in this the land Of which hc
has been deprived by such men as Mr..
Mills? Our greatest congressman and
senators Of today are members Of the
red race, and breeds at that, he at
tempts to belittle and from this same
race, which Mr.. Mills wishes to branG
as degenerates, will come our future
presidents, and among them will not
be found the name of T. B. Mills, for
this will be a race of men who will
be honored for their gentlemanly
manners and integrity in all matters.
Never have we as yet seen an article
that even mentioned the fact of the
Of the whites but should an
indian be seen imbibing too freely OF
wniskey, then he is made the target
Of all near-great men and the entire
red race made to his same level A very
good policy ar. Mills. But then what
about the white race? Your own rae

Sanitary System A Good Thing.

| "A simple and sanitary system IS a most
important and necessary feature for every
farm home. Without it the health of the
family is in danger, however attractive and
well arranged a farmhouse may be in every
other respect It's matter that should
not be postponed to a time when other
naitefs do mot press for attention, but
should be considered the moment it is need
ed. The department has just issued bull
letin giving detailed description of 4 SIM
pie sanitary system suitable for the average
farm home, which coesists of 10 pages and
contains IS figures and diagrams with a
number Of tables. 1t will be sent free TO
any farmer on application.
b The new bulletin is the result of a care
ful study. Convenience, comfort, and
economy have all been considered and they
may all be obtained il the suggestions given
are practically applied with care and COM
mon sense If the farmer has neither the
time or skill to install the simple system
suggested, reliable plumber, pump ex-
pert, or a sanitary engineer should be EN-
ployed to install a system along similar
lines.
The simple sanitary system recommended
has four distinct features 1t provides for:
~ a pure water supply.
~ Pumping, storage and distribution
of water supply.
n (s) A durable and simple plumbing
system.
~ A safe disposal for farm sewage.
A pure waterysupply is one of the most
important factors in farm life today. as ty-
phoid fever, dysentery and other disorders
may be carried by impure waters. Farm
water supplies are very subject to pollution.
Of.79 typical water supplies in Minnesota,
investigations showed that 20 were good

polluted were bad only because Of poor

for household purposes or for washing milk

laundry purpose Unless no other supply IS
available Rain water from the roof is of

water from surface supplies endangers his
health if sucassupplies are not adequately
protected and then purified.
Where underground waters are nard to

filtered and partially purified.
