Col. Vim. Westerman Dead.


ST. Cloud, Mimi, May 2O.-A tele-
gram received here today announces
the sudden death of Colonel William
Westerman, one of ST. Clouds most
prominent citizens, which occurred
at Los Angeles late yesterday after
noon. Colonel Westerman left here
a year ago, but he made arrange
ments recently to return to this city,
intending to arrive here by Nav Is
to spend the summer months. No
particulars as to the cause of his
death we're given in the message.
Colonel Westerman was resident
of st. Cloud over quarter of a cen
fury and held the office of mayor for
two years and for four years was
receiver Of the local land Office.
For forty years he was agent of the
Mccormick and International Har-
vester companies. At the time of
his retirement he had been in service
more years as general agent than any
man in the country. His body will
likely be brought here for burial.
He is survived by his wife and an
adopted daughter.

Referring to Hon., Andrew Davis
the Elk River Star-News remarks
"He refused to file under strong
pressure because of business demands
upon his time. Mr.. Davis has
served three sessions in the legisla-
ture and has record for good SER
vice that is not surpassed in the
state, and has devoted all the time
to the public he can afford to and
protect himself With all sincerity
we can say: Well done, good and
faithful servant, go to it and make
some money for yourself, now"

Barrie's Critic.

J. M. Barrie some years ago was per-
suaded to take the chair at a Burns
celebration in Scotland. He was ex-
tremely silent and stole away at the
earliest opportunity. Next week ap-
peared in the National Observer a hu-
morous article entitled FIR. Barrie In
the Chair" in which Mr.. Barrie's lack
of social tact was held up to ridicule.
Many people thought the writer had
gone too far and protested. But the
author of the article was Mr.. Barrie
himself.

Who is financing Insurance CON-
missioner Preus' campaign for state
auditor? 1t is costing a whole lot of
money. The men and newspapers
that are in politics for what there is
in it are all arrayed on the side rof
Mr.. Preus. A prominent state
official informed the writer this
week that up to date more money
had been expended to promote the
candidacy of Mr.. Preus than had
been used for his chief, Governor
Eberhart.

One thing the voter should not

vote only for men who are positively
for the present good road laws. If
the Dunn law is not all that it
should be time will cure the defects.
We know that it is the only law now

His Record is UnassailabEe.

Henry Rines, the popular pub
Usher from Mora, and speaker of the
house in the last legislative session,
has an excellent legislative record
and is recognized as an authority on
taxation. He is the author of many
important laws on the statute books,
including the gross earnings tax law,
increasing the railroad taxes from
four to five per cent, which was ap-
proved by the voters last election.
This law is bringing over s1,000,000
additional revenue into the state
treasury annually. Mr.. Rines was
born in Orsa, Sweden, AZ years ago,
and he has resided in Minnesota for
Al years. At the present time his
chances for the nomination as state

More Money From Eggs.
By H. L. Kempster.

Bad eggs cause Missouri farmers
a loss of between three and four
million dollars annually. Govern
ment experts estimate that five per
cent of the eggs marketed have de-
veloping chickens and that three
per cent are riots" due to the en-
bryo decaying, All these losses
could be avoided by keeping roost-
ers out of the flocks, thus having
only infertile eggs produced. If
Missouri farmers would follow this
plan. they could save one and three
fourths millions of dollars annually.
Infertile eggs produced by fiocks
in which there is no male bird are
the only kind that can reach the
consumer in good condition during
the hot summer months. The only

object in having a male bird in the
flock is to get fertile eggs for hatch
ing purposes. Now that the hatch
ing season is over, the Missouri
College of Agriculture urges all
farmers to sell off all the roosters
or shut them away from the hens.
Last year in July and August
nearly one-half the eggs leaving the
farms we're unfit for food. The
farmer, as a result, received a low
price. Prevent that loss this year
by getting rid of the rooster. Now
is the time to act to prevent future
losses.

Controlling the Chinch Bug.
By l. Haseman.

The past winter and spring have
been favorable for the chinch bug
and it is now at work in wheat,
oats, rye and other crops in great
numbers and we may expect even
greater damage in some sections
than occurred last summer. The
habits of the chinch bug are well
known and economic methods of
control are within the reach of
every farmer. We know right now
every move the pest will make dur
ing the summer, and if proper
methods of control are followed, it
can be so completely stamped out
that next year it will be difficult to
find a single chinch bug, Are we
willing to make the effort?
Cooperation is the key note to
success in the control of this or
similar pests. Any infested COM
munity can protect itself if all will
help, but any single farmer is prac-
tically helpless. The Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture suggests that
each infested community form a
chinch bug campaign committee of
farmers, bankers, merchants and
others to fight the pest and to see
that everybody helps A supply of
tar, road oil, crude carbolic acid or
creOsote should be obtained so as to
have it ready for use when the
campaign starts. Nothing can be
done to destroy the chinch bugs
which are now at work in the wheat
fields unless it be to pillow the wheat
under and work the land thorough
ly so as to crush the insects The
time for real effective work is i'm
mediately after the wheat is;cut. At
that time line of any of the chem
ical mentioned should be run
around each wheat field. This will
act as barrier and will keep all of
the chinch bugs in the wheat field
where they will die for want of
green plants to live upon,
Instead of the chemical barrier, it
is possible to do effective work by
running a dust barrier around
wheat fields, but this takes more
care and in rainy weather the bugs
will cross it. Cowpeas or other
legumes should be grown in fields
adjoining wheat fields These crops
are not attacked by chinch bugs,
Even where this is done the bar
rier should be used as the bugs will
often migrate long distances.

What an Inch Of Rainfall Means.

An inch of rainfall is equivalent
of 60S barrels of As gallons each, to
the acre. This amount of water
weighs more than 113 tons. Think
of hauling it to the farms in wagons
holding a ton each. That seeming
ly light air and clouds are capable
of handling this enormous amount
of water is one of the marvels of
meterology. One inch of rain is not
such a heavy rainfall, either. Farm
