the Black and Yellow trail in this
state"
A recent fatal accident in Ohio calls
attention to a danger to farmers which
cannot be too widely circulated. Since
1905, when the first American silo was
built by DR.. Manley Miles, this method
of preserving forage for livestock has
been generally adopted. Although the
quently called attention to the danger
of carbon dioxid gas accommodating in
silos under certain conditions, no
fatalities have been reported hereto
fore. On the morting of September 10,
four workmen on the farm of the
Athens (Ohio) State Hospital, ascend
ed the ladder on the outside of a silo
to an open door about twelve feet from
the top and jumped down one after
another onto the silage the top OF
which was about six feet below the
door. About five minutes after, two
other workmen following them found
them unconscious. Although a
large force of workmen were
Immediately summoned and the
bodies of the workmen removed at
once through a lower door, the ply
sicians of the hospital who were at
once on the ground were unable tt
resuscitate any of the four men. Evil
IDENTIFY the carbon dioxid gas had &C
cumulated during the night filling the
silo up to the level of the door and
forming a layer of carbon dixoid gas
six feet deep. Such accidents says the
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation, might easily be repeated on
any modern farm. Agriculture journ-
ais should call the attention of the
farmers to this danger and should urge
that silos be carefully ventilated be-
fore being entered.-Ex.

From the Tribune:
While at Brookings last Saturday
the writer was one of a party of news
paper men to be taken through the
domestic science and manual training
departments of the Brookings schools
by Supt. Browning. These depart
ments of the Brookings schools are
equipped with all the latest conven-
fences and are model plants in every
way. The visit was enjoyed by all
and especially by two presidents of
school boards of nearby towns. The
work Of e%quipping the Volga schools
along these lines is being carried on
steadily and it is expected that with
in another year that the local school
will rank with the best of the schools
in the state in these departments.
Conrad Lee, register of deeds elect,
has purchased the A. l.. Davis resi-
dence in Bookings and will move to
that city some time next month in
order to be in readiness to take up his
work at the beginning Of the new
year. Mr.. Lee has sold his residence
in this city to his brother Charles,
assistant cashier of the First National
Bank, but what Charles intentions
are this paper cannot say--at present.
The people of Brookings will find Mr..
and Mrs. Lee mighty good neighbors,
and while Conrad's election is gen
orally pleasing to the people of the
west side it is regretted that he and
his family must move. 1t is another
case of what is our loss is Bookings
gain.

From the Record:
Notwithstanding the splendid at
tendance during the first month OF
school. it shows improvement for the
second month. The per CEN of posi-
BILE attendance is as follows: Primary
So; End primary "a; intermediate 81
plus: Eighth grade 80 plus and high
school 80 plus. The teachers appre-
ciate the cooperation of the parents
and the pupils in the matter of punctu-
atty. The reports show few cases Of
hardness. Perhaps one of the most
essential habits of school life is that
of being prompt and always on time.

ANNE MORGAN TELLS OF WO
MANS RESPONSIBILITIES IN
WAR AND IN PEACE

In the Woman's Home Companion
for December appears an article by
Anne Morgan-the second in a series
of four talks on the American Girl
which Miss Morgan. youngest daugh-
ter of the late J. Pierpont Morgan, is
doing for the Companion. The article
this month is entitled Her Response
bilities." An extract follows:
Many anti-suffragists say that the
vote can only go with the power to
bear arms, and yet one Of the first of
fetal calls issued by the French Gov
eminent after the order for mobiliza-
ton of the troops was a magnificent
call to the women and children of the
country to take the place Of their
fathers and husbands out in the fields.
1.-The response was as instantaneous
and as sincere as the response to the
call to arms, and everywhere in the
poorest districts Of the country one
saw the tiny children staggering under
their heavy loads of corn and grain.
"Just as her public duty is clearly
defined in time Of war. our girl can
have no misconception of her public
responsibilities in time of peace. At
her door lie the thousand and one
questions of municipal housekeeping.
The clean town and the well-directed
schoolhouse are hers to create, and
still lore hers to sustain; then there
are the hospital and the asylum. the
prison and reformatory."

Last Friday the public examiner
took charge of the Bancroft State

accounted for only in blaming the
proprietors, e. A. and E. P. Syverson,

taken the best loans from the bank to

A WORLD THANKSGIVING.
Why Should America Have Monopoly
of tho Holioay7

This being the Thanksgiving season.
1t should be the proper time to ask why
the United States Of America has a
monopoly on the celebration Of a day
of thanks to the supreme Giver for the
blessings he has conferred.
Why Is there not a day Of universal
thanks. when all the civilized nations
Of the earth could get together for one
day and proffer their thanks for the
civilized nation recognizes a supreme
Ruler and Author Of all good. and Chris
tan. Jew. Mohammedan. Buddhist and
C%onfucian could unite for one day at
least In the brotherhood Of thankful
ness.
1t would be a beautiful idea II we
In America who instituted this day Of
thanks could pass its spirit all around
the world and know that on this day.
when we pause a while to offer thanks,
every other nation was doing the same
That would be u unity which has new
er yet been attained. but Of which no
man of any faith can give any good
and sufficient reason for its %nonexist-
ence.
There Is absolutely no argument
against a day of universal thanks. and
II anybody-Jew or gentile-can object
to 1t l should like to know the nature
Of his objection. The feeling OF CRATE
fulness is a common heritage Of man
kind, and, as 1t is. why should man.
kind hesitate to become n unit In its
acknowledgment? We a have world
expositions. world congresses, world
societies. world tribunals, SO why not a
