Until the early part of the last

In which Washington was said to
have spent a night. 1t was in 1889,
when Washington made a tour oi
New England. Tradition says that
there were certain things about his
stay at the Milford tavern which he
did not enjoy. The supper set be
fore him consisted OF boiled meat
and potatoes. lie was not pleased
with the meal and asked -four bow
Of bread and milk. The landlord
brought the new order and a broken

LOWERING THE. DEATH RATE
Figures Show That Fight Against Tp

Successfully.

We have the assurance Of DR..
Woods Hutchinson, writing in the
Worlds Work, that the death rate
from tuberculosis has declined 10 per
cent. in the decade-which means q
saving Of $1,000 to 10000 lives q
year in the United States. The in
FAINT mortality rate is falling with
equd raTsday, which means anpu-
ally saving of 10000 babies from
those Herods Of the twentieth CEN
tury-ths little fevers Of childhood,
dirty milk and overcrowding The
death rate IN all of our great cities
is being steadily beaten down to a
lower and lower level every year.
The advance census reports show a
lower national death rate than ever
before BY nearly 10 per cent.
The fight against tuberculosis is
steadily becoming more and more c
fight for better housing, more play
grounds, better food and more Of It,
shorter hours OF work, decent and
civilized shops, workrcoms and fac
tories, higher wages, better educa-
ton In the laws Of health. We have
laid the bugbear Of its transmission
by meat. and milk, and are concen-
trating our fire upon the place where
the bacillus breSds-the infected
house or tenement room. The place
where we look for new cases Of tu-
berculosis Is in the same house with
the old ones. We must break this
link In the chain If ever we are to
wipe out consumption. From 30 to
30 per cent. of the children in the
tenements living in the same house
hold with case Of tuberculosis are
found to be already infected with
the disease.

HAVE REASON TO BE PRoUI
Achievements Of tho American Peopi'
AFFORD View Of Unbroken
Line OF Progress.

During the past 25 years 100000
miles of railroads have been built
requiring an expenditure of not less
than $200,000,O00 for labor and
material. We are both producers
and consumers. While our popula.
tion is only a little over five per
cent. Of the population Of the world,
we produce 90 per cent. Of the wheat,
40 percent. of the iron and steel, 5S
per cent. Of the copper, 20 per cent.
of the cotton and so per cent. Of the
corn of the world. Furthermore,
with uncomfortable rapidity, machin-
cry has taken the place Of human
tod, and incidentally millions Of
slaves have been set free. The same
triumphant progress has unvarying-
ly characterized every phase Of hu-
man endeayor on the American con-
tinent. Civil and religious liberty
is a natural condition as well as en-
attitude Of mind. The story Of agri-
culture, Of manufacturing, Of min
ing, Of the arts and sciences, demon
strates the unbroken progress and
uplift Of the whole people. Finally,
the health and well-being of the toll
ing masses have become, with con,
stantly increasing earnestness Of sn-
deayor, the individual and collective
purpose OF the nation. And above
all, the democratic idea, through
good and evil report, has ensour-
aged the personal work and charac-
ter Of the individual citizen 1t has

Colonel Charles Marshall, who
was aid-de-camp TO General Robert
r Zee and who went through tho
battles of the war with his chief
told the following amusing story OF
his experience with a new horse:
His old horse had been shot from
under him in the fight Of the pre-
vious day, and he had taken posses
ion Of an animal that seemed TO
suit the work. In the battle few
hours later he was riding across a
field in which there were numerous
stumps.
Suddenly the performance OPEN
ed. The guns roared, and the air
was filed with smoke and noise.
Before Colonel Marshall knew
what was happening the horse had
his four feet on one of the stumps
and was gayly dancing in a circle.

Congress is taking steps to re-
move some of the legal obstruc-
tions that have heretofore interfer-
ed with the establishment of an
American merchant marine. One
is to permit foreign built ships to
American registry, and negotia-
tions are already being made for
the purchase of vessels now oper-
ated in the Hamburg American
line. The war has forced many
of these vessels into temporary
idleness, and some of them are
anchored in Amirican harbors
The value of the ships offered for
sale aggregates $40, 100000. An
other measure is to permit the
governments to carry the war risk
on merchant vessels flying the
American flag and engaged in
transatlantic trade. Great Brit
ain, France and Belgium are tax
ing this risk for their merchant
marine and Americans would ma
turally have to do the same if they
hope to compete with these foreign
lines. With the adj ustment oi
some of these legal restrictions it
is believed that the American
shipping indus try can be estab.
lished 30 firmly that it will con.
tinue to flourish after the war is
over.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1914-08-20

It apr ears that Germany stands
chance of being quite heavy
loser on account of her failure to
sign the merchantmen immunity
agreement at the Hague peace con-
ference. The agreement was de-
signed to safeguard the merchant
marine interests, whether foreign
or domestic, in time of war. Un-
der this agreement it was stipulat-
ed that a merchant vessel ca ptur-
ed in time of war could be held
until the end of the war but must
then be returned TO the rightful
owners together with money to
pay for any part of the cargo lost
through delay, and occasioned by
the capture. England, Austria
and France signed the agreement,
and it is therefore binding upon
them; but, Germany refused to
sign, and consequently any Ger.
man vessels captured may be con
fscated.

In addition to the fireworks to be
displayed in connection with The
Opening of Panama" at the South
Dakota State Fair, the Pain Fire
works Company will give a two hour
exhibition of Twentieth Century
Pyrotechnics, something far grander
and far more magnificent and awe
inspiring than anything ever before
attempted in the amusement line.
The display at last years fair was
SO wonderful, that many visitors who
saw 1T on the opening nights wired
their friends at home to come on the
next train. The exhibition this year
will outclass that Of last year in ev-
cry respect, which seems almost i'm
possible.
There are sixty-three parts to the
fireworks program, including beauti-
full set pieces, bursting bombs, mill
tary balloons, aerial flower gardens,
spiderland, comic pieces, aerial
wheat sheaf, Yellowstone wonders.
shooting rockets, Goddess of Liberty,
alfalfa fields, Miser's Dream, Search
lights, Roar of the Milky Way, Fly
ing Eagles, War of Dragons, Aerial
Blizzard, etc. Binding flashes of
light, terrible detonations of bursting
bombs and rockets, kissing and
screaming of aerial pieces, and beau
tiful lightning effects in colors, will
combine to make this an entertain
ment in class by itself. Changes in
program will be given each night
no two alike.
Partial Fireworks Program
A few of the fireworks pieces are
as follows with the program number
of each:
Cd Salute OF the American
Flag, heavy aerial reports fired from
steel mortars, creating terrific deton-
ations, with binding flashlights.

that the newspaper reports of the

The newspapers are anxious to

There appears to be twilight
zone" In the game laws, the STA,
law fixing the beginning of the
open season for hunting at Sep
tember 10th, while the federal law
regulating the shooting of mi graz
tory birds puts the beginning Of
the open season at September 7tl,.
There has been some speculation
among hunters as to which law
would govern, but the state game
warden has issued a warming thai
the state law will be enforced, and
to avoid difficulty the ambitious
hunter would probably be wise to
wait until the 10th.
