ment, now in progress here, md the

enlisted men.
Maj. w. S. Bentley, of Rapid City,
with IL years experience as a medical
officer in the South Dakota guard, is

FIRST THINGS.
Embaro Act.

The first embargo act" or the
United States was passed III years
ago today, March 25, 1894. in retalia-
ton against British interference with
American commerce. During the
European wars of that and subsequent
periods there was much interference
with American vessels. and the United
States government sought. by pro-
hibiting expectations to the warning
countries. to impress upon them the
Importance of the republic. The first
embargo lasted only 90 days, and had
little effect. In 1907 another embargo
act was passed, directed against both
England and France, which were then
at war. 1t was hoped that the shutting
off of expectations would force the
European governments to recede from
their position, but the effect was ruin
Gus upon American commerce. The
embargo act of 1907 was supported by
THE agricultural population. but the
New England states strongly opposed
il. Threats OF secession were made
in the northwestern states, and in
1909 congress terminated the embargo.
Many pro-German Americans have ad-
yocated the adoption of similar
measure in the present state of affairs.

CHICKEN OWNERS ATTENTION.

1t has now come the time OF year
when 1t is absolutely necessary that
all owners of chickens shall keep the
same securely confined to their own
premises. Any violation OF this must
be punished by fine, as provided under
the laws of this city.
Last year we were lenient with Of
lenses of this nature, and sought to
obtain reasonable compliances with
the law by such lenient measures.
Our experience has been, however,
that in only few instances did such
leniency by the police department sub
serve our best interests.
1t will be necessary, therefore, that
all offenses of this nature this year
be punished by a fine.
I desire all chicken owners to take
due knowledge of this and protect
themselves and their neighbors by
keeping their chickens on their own
premises and on of the premises and
property of others.

SWAT FLY At THIS
SEASON Of YEAR
Most Effective Time To Kill
the Pest, Health Officers
Say.

Swatting the fly at this season of
the year is most effective. One fly
killed now is worth thousands killed
in the summer, and this fact the
municipal bureau of health is en-
deavoring TO impress in the hopes
that Fairmont will again come close
to being flyless city. Last year the
number OF flies were largely below
normal and an active crusade in the
spring was responsible.
Screen all doors and windows in the
early spring.
Allow no garbage, soiled news
papers. trash or dirt to accumulate
in the cellar, yard or back alley.
Keep all drains clean and free from
obstruction.
Cover the garbage can tightly.
Cleanse it frequently with a solution
OF washing soda.
