Lafayette County Guaranteed.

Darlington Republican, Journal, Feb.
IS: On account of the dreaded foot
and mouth disease which appeared
about two weeks ago on farm about
four miles east of Warren and four
miles from the Wisconsin state line,
and owing further to the report that
the disease has appeared on the farm of
Clyde Akin in Wayne, and from the
still further fact that Illinois stock is
being driven across the state line to
shipping points in Wisconsin, quar-
antine on Lafayette county was declar-
ed and went into effect Tuesday night
at midnight. How long it will last
none can tell. We had hoped that our
county would escape the quarantine,
as it means vast losses to our farmers.
The disease is dangerously close to our
county line. and in one case has broken
over.

KANSAS MAN WOULD
PROHIBIT COSMETICS
Other Odd Bills In L0gis|a-
lures of Various States.

WashingtoS.-Many odd bills have
been passed recently or are pending in
legislatures Of various states Of this
country.
Representative McGinnis of Greeley
county. Kan, introduced pure COM
plexion bill'' prohibiting the use of
cosmetics Of nearly every kind, besides
face powder, rouge, perfume, false
hair, hair dyes or "bleaching materials
for the purpose Of deceiving, advertis-
ing or creating a false impression"
1t also prohibits piercing ears for rings
and forbids the wearing Of earrings.
The act applies only to women under
forty-five years and provides a punish
ment of $25 fine for each offense.
The queerest of all the odd bills in
troduced in the present Colorado leg
islature comes from Senator William
Adams, Democratic leader. This pro-
vides that chickens shall go to roost
between the hours Of 6 and o'clock
p. m. and provides penalties for viola
ton of the curfew. Another senate
measure declares jackrabbits eligible
to election as state senators and cot
tontails as representatives. A third
measure provides that bulls in the road
must wear high power headlights.
"Freak" bills in Massachusetts, in
clude one to have all weeds that cause
hay fever and summer asthma remov-
ed from an roadsides; bill that all
bachelors over thirty-five years pay an
annual tax Of S. and one that doctors
and dentists who perform operations
Of any kind upon the human body
shall not wear any hair on their faces.
Senator Robertson of Holt county.
Neb., who ten years ago tried unsuc-
cessfully to have the national guard
abolished, has a bill which sentences"
every member Of the national guard to
ninety days service for the state in
road and bridge work.
Churchgoers in Texas must leave

For Alarm In Decrease of Births.
Paris.-The problem Of repopulation
of France is receiving the atten-
ton of the Academy Of Moral and
Political Sciences. Figures were read
at meeting of the academy showing
that the number of births annually in
the country in the last twenty years
fell from 100000 to 10000.
It is estimated If proportionate de-
crease should continue for another
twenty years the future military class
es would be 10000 less than the classes
of 1914, 1915 and 1916.
The question was considered so vital
it was suggested that important adj
vantages should be accorded fathers
Of families having numerous children,
and that the idea be generalized that
the normal family comprises three chill
dren.
1t was suggested that the heads Of
such families be allowed to share in a
proposed recompense.

it not altogether impossible. If others can be

tee on education has before it now a
joint resolution which proposes to 'es-
tablish the priority of the discovery of
the north pole and the region contigu-
GUS thereto The old contention is to
be reopened at our eXpense-for the
benefit of whom? l will read the reso-
luton:
whereas, The discovery of the north
pole and the region contiguous thereto.
involves questions of historic, scientific
and geographic, economic, educational and
commercial Importance;
Therefore, be it resolved, That the
priority of discovery of the north pole
and the region contiguous thereto be es-
tablished and declared by congress, in or
der that the lands discovered by Ameri-
can explorers in the far north may be
described and designated as territory of
the United States and so set forth in
the maps prepared and distributed by the
United States government"
Mr. Moore called attention to the
fact that members Of congress have
been receiving messages from DR.. Cook
and have been favored with copies of
his book.
'But the limit has been reached
when the committee on education be-
gins to take the statement Of Stenog-
rapher as to the doctors dictation for

that they are the real and only uplift-

bombarded with vaporings along with
good sense, but we ought to be able to
distinguish the work Of those who are
shrewd enough to employ the services
of press agents to inspire us with mis-

Mr.. Moore then turned his attention
to the press agent working in behalf
of Harry Thaw.

Darlington Democrat: c. D. Smith,
the new owner of the city lighting
plant, is trying to get the state rate
commission to order the Galena people,
who supply him with current, to reduce
their charge. They now charge him
three and one tenth cents per K. w. H..
for the first $1,000 and two and one
half cents for all above that quantity.
Mr.. Smith alleges that his gross earning
are about 5000 per month, and his ex-
penses $3.50, leaving his margin OF
profit too slender.

came slightly irritated. Nevertheless
the list was furnished.
AS Washington looks at it, Mr.. Gard
ner has mapped out pretty big task
for himself Inquiries by friends re.
Gently drew from him the smiling in.
formation that he had been SO busy on
the shipping and immigration bills that
he hadn't time to think much about
the dinner, but that he intended to &C
through with it.
There is one feature, however, that
is causing Mr.. Gardeners friends con
siderable merriment the matter OF
transportation. The list shows that
there will be one fare to be paid from
Porto Rico, two from San Francisco
another from Pike county, Pa; ten
from New York and Brooklyn and
others from Indianapolis and West
Philadelphia. But Mr.. Gardner is rich
enough to humor his whim.
He has a peculiar twinkle in his eyes
at all times, and he gives the impress
sion Of being constantly on the point
of strangling a good joke lest his con
gressional dignity be lowered by the
telling. Of late when anybody men
tons the reserve army dinner his eyes
sparkle more than ever, and Washing
ton is about equally divided in opinion
as to whether the dinner will ever
come off.
! At first there was general impress
sion that Mr.. Gardner in some subtle
way was trying to kid the war de-
partment and that the war department
resented the attempt If this was
true the department has had sudden
change Of heart, for inquiries concern
ing the reserve army. its origin, mum
Der, location. ETC., have been answered
with the greatest good will.
! Recently it has developed that the
reserve army once consisted Of seven
teen men, but last year a reservist
was dropped at his own request to en-
able him to join the navy.
Authority for the creation Of re-
serve army was given in the 1912
army appropriation act, and the pro
vision became effective Nov. /, 1912
From that time on the war depart
ment raised it's enlistment periods
from four years to seven, and it was
provided in each enlistment contract
that the soldier serve four years with
the colors and the remaining three
years on reserve, subject to call In
event Of war.
This is the invitation that Mr.. Gard.
ner sent to each member Of the re.
serve army:
"My Dear Sir-I am contemplating
inviting the members Of the reserve
army Of the United States to be my
guests at dinner In Washington, and
so to have the pleasure Of meeting
each one in person, and write to ask
whether 1t is likely that you could be
present.
eff your engagements are such as
to make It impossible for you to be
in Washington at that time would
appreciate it If you would send ME
a short sketch Of yourself and your
service I'm the army. together with a
photograph.
81 hope. however. that you will be
able to be present and that the dinner
may be made an informal little re.

Who these agents are Mr.. Moore has

1t was during the discussion Of the
