AN ENTERPRISING EDITOR.

Among the Ancient Mariners" now guiding
the press of Mississippi over the stormy political
waters of this state is to be found L. T. Carlisle.
who. for many a year. has kept his hand upon the
helm of the West Point Leader and steered his
ship true to Democracy's compass, as he read it,
no matter how passion blew the gale.
That Mr., Carlisle in his old age, is meeting the
duties of life with the zeal and vigor of useful
young manhood, is evidenced by the fact that he
is now actively engaged in placing before his fell
low citizens of West Point and Clay county the
advantages Of the proposed Mississippi Electric
railroad. projected to give the people of the region
through which it will run a direct connection with
Memphis, Tenn.
Another advantage it offers is to give to West
Point a Street Railway and suburban system using
motor cars of sufficient capacity to meet the con-
v%enience of the public and the demands of the traf-
fc.
The plans appear to be feasible, and should they
be successfully carried out to completion, the new
road will do more actual good in reducing the cost
Of living, building up waste places and enhancing
the values of improved lands; and adding to the
comforts of homes and the joys of living in that
portion of Mississippi through which it's right of
way will lay, than will anything which has beer
proposed for the advancement Of the veal of the
people in all that region for the last quarter of a
century.

Notice to House Owners.

l have accepted the agency for this
territory of the celebrated "Powdr-
Paint" prepared by A. L. Rice of
Adams. N, Y. I will be pleased to
mail you price and instructions or call
upon you at any time and give instruc-
tions as to its application. This paint
will save you 80 l-3 per cent at least in
painting anything except a smooth sur
face which has been previously filled
with oil.
Nothing will excel it on any rough or
dried out surface. Cheaper than white
wash for painting when the lasting and
preserving qualities are considered.

such a paint for your dwelling. barn,

inside or outside. Samples of the paint

Judge 7. C. Kimbrough was turned down in his race for

sure, being a good. sound Democrat, he can take a defeat
with as good greece as any body. He gracefully bows to the
will of the majority Of his party, without harboring malice
toward any. He will not be any the less a loyal Democrat,
nor any the less afabIe ana genial to those who opposed him.
West Point Leader.
Mr.. Kimbrough is not only a Democrat in name,
but he is one in precept and example. In other
words, a gentleman who may be depended on at all
times to do the right thing, as he sees it, on the right
way.
That he should show as much of the chivalroNr
heart courageous in deffat and accept it with as
much grace as most men do a victory, is not to be
wondered at by those who know him as well as does
the writer of this paragraph.
It's natural-it's in the blood.

However deplorable from every humanitarian
point Of view, the great war between the nations

TO BE QUARANTINED
New Rule Adopted for Control
of Consumption.

The state board of health has Off
cially declared tuberculosis to be
communicable disease and subject to
certain quarantine regulations. This
action was taken at the suggestion of
DR.. H. M. Bracken, secretary of
the board, mad marks an epoch in
the fight against the white plague
in Minnesota.
The following resolution was
passed:
Whereas, tuberculosis now is re-
cognized as communicable disease,
therefore be it resolved that a case of
open tuberculosis must be isolated
either in sanatorium or at home.
''Be it resolved, that all early
cases shall be cared for as to prevent
the disease reaching stage that will
become dangerous to others, if possi.
ble."
This resolution means that in coun-
ties wnere there are no sanatoria the
board will see that in all open cases
of this disease, where there is danger
of contagion certain quarantine rules
must be enforced. If the family of
the patient is unwilling or unable to
take these precautions the person
afflicted will be sent to sanatorium
by order of the board, and the ex-
penses shared by the county and town
in which the patient lives.
According to members of the board
this resolution and its enforcement is
the most important action, taken by
the state in the war against tuber-
culosis since the campaign began.
The board decided to organize an
extension division, under the direction
of the secretary, to conduct an educa-
tional campaign in the interest of
public health in cooperation with the
University of MINI osota, the Mime
sofa Public Health league and similar
organizations. DR.. H. w. Will, exc
cutive agent of the league, outlined
the work which that body intends to
accomplish.
The board also approved the action
of the University authorities in
establishing course in public
health work at that institution.
The board went on record as op-
posed to the plan of the state eff :
cheney and economy commission to
put health work under the proposed
state department of public welfare.
A separate department is desired
by the board members.

NEW INDUSTRY
Farmers Make Big Money Haul
ing Autos from Mud

Moorhead News "A new industry
is being built up in the vicinity of
Grookston and according to reports of
automobilists of that city. it is prov
ing highly profitable. The autoists
claim that certain enterprising gentle
men living along the main highway
leading out from that city see that
large mud holes are maintained in
the road adjoining their farms and
make business of pulling autos out
of the mud. ire charge is from So
to So for each auto, and with the
proper equipment of chains, an auto
can be gotten out in fifteen minutes.
Maple Lake is the only body of water
worth mentioning up in that
neighborhood, and all Crookston auto
lists 60 there whenever they have a
few hours to spare. There was big
rush to the lake on the Fourth and it
is reported that one farmer cleared
over $50 pulling autos out of mud
hole adjoining his farm on that day.
Another autoist running out on
the road to Shevlin found two autos
stuck in a mud hole in front of him,
and a man had just come down with
a team and chains to pull them out.
When he got them safely across, he
suggested that be might as we'll hitch
onto the third auto as it would never
get through otherwise. He was asked
how mucn the charge would be and he
replied that he made the very low
price of So and that he had pulled out
twenty three cars that day. He was
asked why the hole was not fixed, and
good naturedly replied that he could
see no reason for fixing it. The auto
mobjlist in this instance turned around
and went home.
Morris tribune., 1914-07-31

1t is said that if the Legislature
confirms the recommendation of the
Minnesota Bankers association COM
mittee on hog cholera and forbids the
use of virus in the state, less serum
will be used than heretofore and the
situation can be handled better.
Virus and serum together are given
to perfectly healthy herds, before any
sign of cholera has appeared, to i'm
munize them. Serum is given only
after cholera has appeared in the herd.
With nothing but serum in use, it
would not be called for until proof of
cholera in herd was apparent. If
it were to be supplied only on call Of
a veterinarian who would certify to
positive diagnosis. the demand likely
would be further lessened.
The federal government is conduc-
ting a hog cholera Investigation,
similar to the one in Renville coun-
ty, in Dane county, Wisconsin, and
number of other counties throughout
the hog belt. Last year it conducted
such study in Dallas county, Iowa.
