the best Bands that Sank Centre ever
had. Good music is invaluable to any
city. Don't think that good amuse-
ment is some one jelse's business. 1t
should be as much the business of a
municipality to see that it's citizens
are supplied with wholesome amuSe-
ments as with wholesome water.
Law enforcement is the pillar OF
any city. It is what makes any COM
munity. 1t makes the people better
and happier; its profit and helps ev-
eryb0dy. Law enforcement has been
the motto of the late council and we
sincerely hope it win be of all future
councils.
The spirit that has been displayed
by the council during the year just
closed has merited the applause and
approval Of the whole people.
Every worthy proposition advanced
along progressive lines has met with
splendid support. This Is as it should
be. With this perfect cooperation we
need never fear for the future of the
beautiful little city Of Sank Centre.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN N. McGIBBON, Mayor.

DIED
In this city, Saturday, March
18th, 1914, of abscess on the brain
resultant from chronic pulmonary
weakness, Charles Madison LaForge,
aged 81 years and ten days. Deceased
was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas on
March 81, 1892, and came to Sank
Centre with his parents in July OF the
same year and has resided here ever
since. About a year ago Mr.. La
Forge was taken with lung trouble
and although every effort was made
to regain his health by visiting the
pine woods of Northern Minnesota
and other points, he gradually grew
weaker and as result he fell an easy
victim to the brain disease. Funeral
services were held Monday afternoon.
the Rev. r. w. Duel officiating and IN
terment was made in Oakland ceme-
terry. The deceased is survived by his
mother, Mrs. J. M. LaForge and q
brother who reside in this city, and a
sister, Mrs. O. A. Preston, OF Akeley.

lies in the danger that there may be
concealed sources of infection, AL
though the farmer receives the APP
praised value of his herd, it is inevi-
table that the summary slaughter IF
all his stock should cause him con-
siderable inconvenience as well as in
direct financial loss. To those who
can see no further ahead than this and
who do not realize what it would mean
to the entire country if the disease
were once to gain firm foothold here,
there is natural temptation not to
report suspicious cases to the authori-
ties. This, however, is simply to cut
off ones nose to spite ones face. The
disease cannot be stamped out by ig-
noring it. The only possible way in
which stock raisers can save them
selves tremendous losses in the future
is to cooperate now with the authori-
ties by reporting every suspicious
case of sore mouth or lameness among
their stock and by assisting in enforc-
ing the guarantees, both federal and
local, which have been declared.

southern Michigan, but how the germ
found its way there is not yet def
nitely known. 1t seems probable that
some cattle became infected, that
their milk was sent to creamery and
the skim milk then returned to be fed
to hogs. A herd of these infected
hogs was then shipped to Chicago
where they infected the stock yards
before they themselves revealed any
symptoms of the disease. Once this
had taken place, every shipment of
stock from Chicago to other parts of
the country was likely to spread the
infection. For this reason federal
inspectors have for some time now
been engaged in tracing, by the aid of
bills of lading and other railroad re-
cords, each of these shipments to its
destination and inspecting the stock
there. This accounts for the discov-
cry of cases in states as far removed
from each other as Iowa and Massa-
chusetts. The various guarantees al
ready imposed have been designed to
prevent the continued movement of
cattle from infected or suspicious
places. Once these movements have
been halted and all the exposed cattle
brought to a standstill, it will be pos
sible for the federal authorities to
locate all suspicious cases and by the
slaughter of all exposed cattle ulti-
mately eradicate the disease. The fed
eral guarantees are accompanied by
state and local quarnantines of indivi-
dual infected farms. From these no
produce whatsoever can be sent out.
In many cases children are not even
permitted to go to school, and the far
mer cannot drive his horses on the
public highways.
Stock Raisers Should Help.

POWERFUL NAVY Is
AMERICAN POLICY,

United States Win Continue to Remain
Strong on tho Seas.
A powerful navy we have always
regarded as our proper and natural
means of defense. and It has always
been OF defense that we have thought.
never of aggression or of conquest
But who shall tell US now what sort
of navy to build? We shall take leave
to be strong upon the seas in the fu-
ture as In the past, and there will be
no thought Of offense or of provocation
in that. Our ships are our natural
bulwarks. When will the experts tell
us Just what kind we should construct,
and when will they be right for ten
years together. If the relative efficiency
of craft of different kinds and uses
continues to change as we have seen
It change under our very eyes in these
last few months?
But 1 turn away from the subject.
1t is not new. There Is no new need
to discuss it. We shall not alter our
attitude toward It because some among
US are nervous and excited. We shall
easily and sensibly agree upon policy
of defense. The question has not
changed its aspects because the times
are not normal Our policy will not
be for an occasion. 1t will be conceiv
ed as permanent and settled thing
which we will pursue at all seasons
without haste and after a fashion per-
fectly consistent with the peace of the
world. the abiding friendship of states
and the unhampered freedom of all
with whom we deal. Let there be no
misconception. The country has been
misinformed- We have not been neg
ligent of national defense. We are not
unmindful of the great responsibility
resting upon US. We shall learn and
profit by the lesson of every expert
ence and every new circumstance. and
what is needed will be adequate
done.
1 close, as I began, by reminding
you Of the great tasks and duties of
peace which challenge our best powers
and invite US to build what will last.
