St. Louis Smoke,

Toledo Blade: st. Louis was a
smoky city before cities on the south
shore Of Lake Erie began to realize
that they were destined to become in
dustrial centers and therefore the ex-
pected prey Of SCOT and CRIME. Wheth-
er the coal burned there was just nat
urally a smoke maker, or whether the
winds were a lazy kind and did not do
their duty, we do not know. But We
have seen st. Louis when the stranger
might have wondered if the abode Of
the Prince Of Darkness was less airy
and cheerful
But st. Louis is a smokeless town
now. The Women's Organization foE
Smoke Abatement has caused its at
mosphere to be ~laundered and purified.
This organization hired inspectors to
make note Of smoking chimneys and
to remind the owners thereof that
they were breaking the law. 1t took
photographs Of the worst offenders
and brought the blush Of shame to
cheeks of factory proprietors. 1t took
it's evidence into court and obtained
convictions. The campaign lasted for
five years, but it was worth while. It
has made st. Louis a clean and fair
city and it's air a decent thing for hu-
man being to draw into their lungs.
If st. Louis can undergo such a
transformation, making other cities
smokeless Is not an impossibility. The
thing needed is simply law enforce
ment.

San Francisco Bulletin: President
Wilson has found himself, like most
conscientious persons in public office,
between the devil and the deep sea.
If he manifests a determination to do
something to relieve the intolerable
conditions under which overgroWn bus
mess is carried on in this country he
listens to the mournful outCries Of
Wal street, and sees the sympathetic
Years Of Wall streets worshippers. If
he is kind to a f1nancier who calls OF
him at the White House and sends nim
away with a smile on his face, instead
Of having him kicked down the front
steps by the military aid, he is charged
with having made a wicked alliance
with privilege. Moreover, he is thus
accused by the same persons and
newspapers, and in at least one, SO
tight is the rne into which it has
been driven, the two charges OF
enmity to business and of OVer-great
friendship to business are made side
by side, with only a column rule to
keep them apart.
The New York Sun, which lights the
leisure hours Of the tired big business
man, stated recently that the business
world left itself "fettered by the gen.
eral attitude Of political hostility to
In6 HlSneT mechanism Oh business.
The New York World, a more plebeian
organ. mentions the looting Of the
Rock Island, the Frisco, the Pere Mar
quette, and the New Haven railroad
systems. the corruption of members
of congress by the big business lobby,
the ~"sneaking attempts to inttmidate
congress by means Of form kilograms
and mimeographed letters" as in
stances Of what some people mean
by the operations Of the higher
mechanism of business" and thinks
the people, as we'll as the president,
will support a general attitude Of
political hostility" toward that kind
Of business.
Big business in politics." says The
World, lis usually an ass. 1t was
never more Of an ass than when it
undertook to bulldoze Woodrow Wilson
and the democratic congress-"
This democratic congress-" under
the guidance of a leader of high ideals
and clear-minded conceptions, is just
obstinate enough to go ahead with its
trust legislation all the faster for Wall
streets opposition.

SOON TO Be
GREATEST DAIRY STATE

Minnesota rapidly Is becoming the
greatest dairying state In the union,
according to dairying experts at the
university farm. More than 1925, 900
cows are being MIXED in the state to-
day n only one state exceeds this in
the net return per cow for each year.
The cause Of the Improvement"
Prof. T. L. Hacker says, lis the fact
that dairymen in Minnesota are begin
ming to raise dairy stock for dairy pur-
poses only
Ordinary cows. according to Pro-
mate average Of 125 pounds a year Of
butter-fat. Good dairy cows hould
produce 800 pounds each with proper
FEEDING. One Of the herds at the uni
Verstty farm last year produced 1913
pounds of butter-fat without extra
care or attention.
Wisconsin farmers were the first to
realize the value Of proper feeding and
breeding of dairy stock and as a result.
says Professor Hacker. Wisconsin
dalrymen receive from IS to $40 more
per cow each year than the average
dalrymen In Minnesota or other states.
minnesota producers come second in the
list. exceeding those Of Iowa by from
IS to $40 a year for each cow.
In 1890" says Professor Hacker
there were in Minnesota $685. 900 cows,
yielding on the average, $500 pounds
of milk and 1928 pounds Of butter-fat
per COW. Now there are 1925, 900 COWS,
averaging 1000 pounds of milk, con-
tanning $50 pounds of butter fat, equi-
VaIent to IFS pounds OF butter; worth
at a fair valuation, II cents per pound,
or $47.25 per COW, which makes the to-
tai annual value of the states dairy
product alone $50, 900, 900.

THEN
AND

One hundred and eight years
ago today the first step was taken
toward establishing the foreign
five students Of Williams college
gathered in a grove ear the COL
lege to hold on open air meeting.
The day was hot and oppressive.
In the midst Of the meeting a light
ming bolt flashed across the sky,
announcing the approach Of a
thunder storm. H~urriedly collect
ing their belongings, the students
sought shelter beneath g. neighbor-
ing haystack. Here they contin-
ued tehir discussions while the
storm ragged. Shouting to make
himself understood above the thun-
der, the young leader. Samuel J.
Mills, proposed that they organize
ito spread the gospel among the
heather" That was the first step.
Two years later Mills organized
the Society of Brethren, requiring
each Of the five members thereof
to solemnly dedicate his life al a
missionary. Public opinion being
against missions, the organization
was kept secret and it's constitu-
ton was drawn up in cipher. Six
years had passed since the historic
"haystack meeting" whose location
is now marked with a monument,
before the first five missionaries,
four of whom were accompanied
by their wives, sailed from Phila-
delphia for India upon the first
American evangelistic campaign to
foreign lands.

Drought Hits Missouri,

Crop conditions in Missouri are very
poor because of the unprecedented hot
wave and the lack of MOISTURE" said
Henry Borgschatz Of Hay Creek, on his
return from a visit with relatives in
the vicinity of st. Louis. Practically
all the grain in Missouri has suffered
because of the lack of rain. The wheat
yield will be fair while practically all
the other grains are almost ruined. The
farmers are selling their cattle because
of the heat drying up the pastures and
Illinois he reported as being somewbat
better, although the summer has been
an unusually dry one. Mr.. Borgschatz
came home through Iowa and reports
conditions in that state as good. Iowa
will harvest one of the biggest corn
crops in it's history, according to Mr..
BOrgsChatz.

TOOK own LIFE
FAIR GROUNDS
AT GRAND FORKS

Grand Forks, N. D., July 2S.-Ru-
dolph Lind, aged about rs years, ar
empioye Of Ellison Bros. Of LaMoure,
committed suicide at the fair grounds
last evening by cutting his throat with
a razor. The police were summoned
and he was hurried to St. Michaers
hospltal in Mr.. Norman's automobile,
WheH DR.. Williamson sewed the sew
cred arteries and staunched the flow
or blood. He died about twenty min
utes after arriving at the hospital.
Inc remains are at the Norman un-
dertaking rooms awaiting word from
relatives or friends.
'Ihere was apparently no motive for
the act n fellow employees who had
worked with Lind for the last two
months stated that he was always of
a CHEEKY disposition, never drank and
was a good worker. He had been with
the Ellison stables but a short time,
coming here from Fargo.
Jack Taylor, employed in the capa-
city Of barn foreman by Ellison Bros.
stated that he sent Lind to the stables
with a horse that he had been exercis-
ing, at about $50, and told him to get
another animal and exercise it. Line
went into the barn with the horse, and
not appearing with the other after If
teen or twenty minutes, Taylor, think
ing he was unable to get the bride on
the horse. sent another man to see
what the trouble a He. not being
able to see Lind, went into a stall that
the employees use as a sleeping place,
found Lind lying on his stomach with
the blood squirting from a horrible
wound in his neck.
Rushing out, he notified the other
men and they sen a. call for the police
and a physician. Finding Officers
Bliven and Dahl a short ways from
the barn. they notified them and they
few minutes search they found M.
Norman of the M. Norman Co., who.
with his family, was driving about the
grounds. Mr.. Norman rushed the al
ready unconscious man to the hospital
in his auto, where DR.. Williamson
seWed the severed arteries, u with
out avail as the man was too far gon1
aid.
Nothing was found in the victims
St. Peter. MINI, and it is
thought that he lived there, if not,
that some one there would know
where his parents are residing.
Taylor. the barn foreman. stated
that he did not know where Lind came
from, although he had known him for
about two months. He stated that
QUO VNIU, dL 1IdIlu y JUS Mill,
would know, and the police will en-
to get in touch with him to-
day. Taylor stated that Lind a
asked to be SEM to ST. Peter If any
thing ever happened to him. That was
the last word he had with any Of the
men working with him.
Slaves Self.
Taylor stated that a short time be-
taking his life, Lind shaved him
self and washed up, and that one of
the other men had been using his ra-
zor afterwards. and that possibly that
was the reason hat Lind went into
the stall. He suggested hat perhaps
the young man had been mentally af-
by the hea and lack of sleep,
as the outfit left Fargo Sunday night,
arriving here yesterday morning. He
that he had been talking to
Lind a few minutes previous and that
appeared as usual, and that Lind
asked him what horse he should take
out, and he told him.

attention Of DR.. Verne. The two
whom the surgeon attended were quite
badly cut. while the third only missed

certained the three attempted to take
a jug Of beer away from a couple Of
others who had retired to the jungles
for a quiet siesta.
