Way i Suggested q
Curb Tie Takers

Ever since w can remember. fax
ers. quacks and scoundrels generally
have taken advantage Of that rule Of
law BY which. when note passes
out Of the hands of the original holder
for value, no recovery can be made
because Of fraud In connection with
the making OF the note. They secure
the notes, then sell them to the limo.
cent purchaser or the ma who can
not be proved to have knowledge Of
the fraud.
Thirty years ago. for instance, the
Bohemian oats men played their game
from the Atlantic coast to the Mis-.
souri, river. They sold a hullless oat
q limited a1nout to each buyer, taking
his note, and agreeing to sell the
crop at a specified price, but for
bidding him from selling 1t. They
then discounted the note at the bank
They were very careful not to sci
oats to men who could not make :
note that the bank would accept. II
q few years the whole scheme failed
and while the men who first grew
the oats made money, the rest nee
essarily lost. A few years ago, so
| called sanitariums and quack doctors
would agree to u patients of or
ganic diseases such as consumption
| catarrh, etc, taking notes and selling
them to the bank at the first oppor
tunity at a discount. So with all
takers and quacks.
Times are changing; the world is
| getting better. The supreme court Of
Minnesota recently decided in favor
of a farmer who had given a note
to a doctor who agreed to cur his
wife of consumption. The note was
sold to the bank at so per cent dis
count. The farmer was a plucky fell
low, however, and carried It to court.
The court decided that a note tainted
with fraud is not c~ollectible even In
the hands Of a so-called innocent pur-
chaser. The effect OF the decision
is that when a customer Is doing a
fraudulent business the bank has nc
right to blind itself to the nature 81
the occupation. A bank is not merely
an institution to make profit. It i
organized to furnish credit, In short
to separate the sheep from the goats
is one mission of the bank and OF the
banker. This decision, however, ap
plies only where a note is obtained
through or tainted with fraud. Other
wise the old rule holds. The banker
must be taught that he is not an In
%nocent purchaser, II the note is faint
ed with fraud, and It Is his business
TO know the business integrity of ths
men with whom he deals.

Arrangements Made
for Big Track Meet

Everett G. Brown of Chicago, of in
ternational repute as a promoter of
the great Olympic games, will referee
the third annual track and field meet
of the Minnesota-Dakota conference
at Huron, May % and 20. Mr.. Brown
ia vice president of the American
Olympics, a member of the Interna-
tional Olympic committee, and was
vice president Of the Fifth Olympiad,
at Stockholm in 1912. He is a mem.
Der of the American committee which
will meet the international Olympic
committee in France during the latter
part Of June. He will probably GO
direct from the meet at Huron to
Paris to arrange for the Berlin games
in 1916.
South Dakota track fans are enthu.
siastic over the fact that this state
will again c the greatest inter.
collegiate athletic carnival of the en-
tire northwest. This state is winning
a reputation for its keen interest in
athletics and for its financial support
Of large contests. AT the meeting Of
the conference at st. Paul last Janu-
airy, the meet was again awarded to
Huron by nearly a unanimous vote.
The Huron commercial club will se-
cure lodging places for all who desire
them. Last year automobile parties
came in from all parts Of the state
to witness the sports, and special
trains were run. This year two trains,
are already arranged, one from ST.
Paul and inc from eastern South Da-
kota; while two trains from the south
.ern part Of the state are contemplat-
ed.

Commissioners Pass
New Milk Ordinance

After a prolonged discussion with
a number of milk dealers of Water
town, the city commission last night

supply Of pure and wholesome milk

alton just as fast as its provisions

that their barns and dairies, equip
ment for handling milk, etc, comply
with the rules of the law, and also
to inspect all cows furnishing milk
for city use, for contagious diseases.
This official will in all probability be
appointed at a special meeting later.
The principle objection that seem

ers was the tuberculin test which
they claimed is not a sure method.
but they were assured that the ordin-
ance does not expressly provide that
this test be used. 1t was estimated
by both commission and dairymen
that the consumption of milk in the
city will be increased at least 80 per
cent as a result of the confidence Of
the people that they are using pure
milk. A misunderstanding had arisen
by some of the dairymen believing
THAT the ordinance empowered the
city to destroy COWS If the t%uberculin
test showed that they were affected
with disease. This was explained not
to be the case. The city simply re.
quires that such a COW if found be
isolated from the rest of the herd and
left to the discretion of state or fed
eral authorities.

Miss Crosby Passes
q Away in Wisconsin

Miss Lodeska Crosby, a long famil-
5iar figure on our streets, and one
much loved by those who knew her
best, has gone to her final home. She
left Watertown last fall to spend the
Hnter months with friends and rel
a2Yes in Sheboygan, Wis, expecting
sta return in May.
Occasional letters from her during
tR winter told of her experiencing
SINE difficulty in breathing, the trou-
Id being attributed to asthma, but
Mays able to be about as usual.
The end came almost without wa11-
ig, last Thursday. Being at the
Ame of her niece, Mrs. John Pea
uck, she expressed a desire to re-
main in bed, saying she was very
tiled. About noon she passed into a
thd of stupor from which she could
ndt be aroused and at seven the end
came.
Miss Crosby will long be remember
ed by the people of Watertown for
Ihr sterling qualities. Always indus
tfious and p~ersevering, she taught
fI many years in our public schools,
thb kindergarten being her best loved
fad of labor, and not a few of her
pupils now grown to men and women
have always held her in fond regard.
SIZE was a friend to every WatertoWn
hay, and was never too busy to stop
cd her way to offer a word Of cheer
SOL tender to the erring her wise coun-
SCI. Miss Crosby, though rather
brlspue in her usual jovial manner,
