The Judge owns one of the best
Guernsey herds in the country. At
his town home he keeps one of his
best cows and cares for her him
self. He has for years been d.
rector of the Algona creamery and
president of the state Guernsey
breeders association, and he is now
president of the Iowa State Dairy
Association. He is in fact a nation

ticles for the best farm and dairy
journals and is paid high prices for
them. For years he has spoken fire.
quently in this and other states on
farm topics.
The Judge Is no silk-stocking aris-

he is a common, everyday sort of

always cheerful and the best of

WALL LAKE drain
AGE IS Up AGAIN
Now it is Proposed That the State
Board of Control Have Charge
of the Matter.
WORK DONE BY PRISONERS.
It is Suggested That Hunters Will
Not Complain if State Re-
tains Ownership.
WORK DONE BY PRISONERS.

Register and Leader, March 81:
With the idea of draining Big Wal
lake in Wright county and creating
a custodial farm of the land re.
claimed, Attorney General Cosson
and the members of the state board
of control, J. H. McConlogue, chair
man, w. J. Dixon and A. M. McColl
will visit the lake tomorrow and in.
vestigate the practicability of the
plan.
Although there was strong oppo-
sition on the part of hunters to the
draining Of Big Wall lake on con-
tract whereby a citizen of the state
would get possession of the lake bed
for number of years at an extreme
ly low rental, the proposition of the
state itself taking the land is diff
ferent matter and it is thought will
not cause complaint.
The board of control is given pow
er by the Thirty-fifth general as
sembly to establish custodial farms
where prisoners serving terms in
jails Of the state may be sent to
work out their support. The idea of
using Big Wall lake has been sug-
gested and the board has arranged
to go up to look over the ground.
If the proposition does not appeal
to the state officials, they may visit
some of the other lakes Of the state
to ascertain whether any of them
will be available for this purpose.
Big Wall lake now covers between
500 and 900 acres of land.
If Big Wall lake property is con-
sidered suitable by the board OF
control, plans will be made to bring
about the change. Probably some
higher land will be needed upon
which to place the farm buildings
1t is not yet decided whether the
board will wish to put the project
through at once or wait until the
legislature convenes. But If the lake
is selected, the attorney general will
advocate that the actual draining OF
the lake be done by jail prisoners
In this way the farm land may be
prepared and the farm be placed un-
der cultivation by prisoners.
II the state wishes, it might es'
tablish a tile industry so that pris.
oners might make the tile to be us
ed in draining the land, the attor-
ney general says. However, this Is
too far advanced, he declares. The
immediate matter is the examination
of the lake to see if it will be avail.
able for a farm.
w. J. Dixon, member of the board
of control, who will be with the par.
ty tomorrow, was instrumental In
getting the bill providing for the
custodial farm through the legisla
ture. He is greatly interested In
the scheme Of putting prisoners tt
work at useful labor instead of be-
ing permitted to lay idle in jails.

to prevent disease, but to cure 1t,
and usually the doctor was not call
ed until the case was desperate.
When the patient first began to-
complain" home remedies were
first exhausted. If they failed and
the case became serious, member
of the family was dispatched on
horseback, across the prairie to the
nearest town for doctor. No mat
ter how bad the roads, how severe
the storm or how unreasonable the
hour, when the doctor was called,
he must go and go at once. Some
times he took team, but if the
roads were too bad for team, he
went on horseback, and of all the
pioneers, none can relate such var
led experience with mud, darkness,
blizzard, snow, swamp and flood, as
the pioneer doctor. He could not
choose his time to travel and often
could not even wait for daylight to
guide him.
The medical ethics of pioneer days
were not as refined as at present. 1t
was not unusual for the doctors to
be at war with each other. If a doc
tor failed to cure, in what was con-
sidered a reasonable time, another
doctor was called. He was usually
rival. After ,inquiring into the
treatment of his predecessor, it was
not at all unusual for him to assume
a worried expression and destroy in
a dramatic manner all the medi-
cines left by his competitor. Some
times, he even went so far as to ex
press himself quite strongly regard
ing the knowledge and qualification
of his professional brother Citizens
of thirty years ago, will remember
the Doctor war" between Compton
and Eberle and how intense the par
tisan feeling grew. But the tele-
phone, the automobile and the medi-
cal associations have changed the
conditions quite materially. Today,
in case of serious illness, the tele-
phone furnishes instant communica
ton with a doctor, the automobile
furnishes quick transportation,
while the medical association is re-
sponsible for more fraternal feel
ing between members of the profess
sion. Today, doctors wars are a
thing of the past except perhaps in
some of the smaller communities.

dentistry. In pioneer days, the
doctor pulled teeth with villainous
looking pair of "pinchers." It was
painful, cruel operation and it is
little wouder that the people endur-
ed bad teeth rather that face those
"pinchers." Our first regular dent
list was E. T. Holt, who practiced in
the seventies and early eighties.
His principal business was making
false teeth and clearing out place
in the customers mouth to receive
them. Besides being a dentist, he
was an enthusiastic lover of fine
horses and was the subject of the
following little poem, which appear
ed in the Freeman in the late six
ties:
"E. r. Holt had a colt
Which suited him very we'll
But which is Holt
And which is Colt,
The Devil could not tell
Later, DR.. G. H. Ritenour did
the principal business in dentistry
He came here from Hardin county
where he had assisted in capturing
the famous Rainsberger outlaws
He had long and honorable bust
ness career in Webster City.
Among the later practitioners in
dentistry were DR.. A. Kellogg, DR..
Boysen, DR.. Giffin, DR.. Berg, DR..
Mahood, DR.. Shultz, DR.. Lundell, DR.,
Pote.
There has been great advancement
in the practice of dentistry. Today
the methods are almost painless
and the practice is directed almost
entirely to keeping the teeth in re-
pair. Today, the dentist is con-
sidered as much public necessity
as a physician.

Paul ]. Rainey's African Hunt.

On next Wednesday, May 18th, at
Orpheum theatre will be shown for
the first time the greatest of all wild
animal pictures, Paul j. Rainey's
African Hunt. These pictures were
not taken in q Zoolo 4ical garden but
in the iungles of "A Africa, showing the
capture-of animals in their native
haunts. In his hunt Mr. Rainey
used over so hounds taken from
Mississippi. The picture is i'm six
reels, 5000 feet of film filled with
stirring and thrilling scenes and sit
uations. Owing to the extra expense
of bringing this spectacular feature
to the Orpheum. the management is
forced to advance the price to 35c
for adults and 15c for children.
This is a picture that every man,
woman and child in Malta and
vicinity should see.
In order that all may see it there
will be a school children's matinee at
4:15 p. m. at which time the price of
admission will be 10 cents for child

Inteyscholastic Track Meet.

From all parts of Montana, high
school coaches and principals are
sending word into The interscholas'ic
committee of the University at Mis-
souia, of the track meets that are to
be held by the various schools as try
outs in order to help The coaches and
principals pick the best men to rep
resent the schools here at the state
wide Interscholastic track meet on
May l2 to l6.
From some of the towns word
comes that district trackmeets are to
be held, and from others that inter
class and dual meets will be the test
through which the team candidates
will be put. The interest, in gen.
eral. seems to be greater in this meet
than it has ever been, and all of the
men who come here to compete will
have been given thorough tryouts
before they are allowed to represent
their high school. Because of these
district and inter-class contests, the
prediction is made that this year will
see more records broken and faster
meet than any which have preceded
it. This year, with the eleventh
annual meeting of the track and field
athletes of all the state, the schools
begin on a new slate, as far as prizes
go, and each school desires and will
try hart to get away good.
