that the county Commissioners
had before them recently one of
the questions that are constant.

ties of county and city in re-
gard to the caring for transients
who become q charge on the pub

missioners voted $115 to pay the
way of q woman and her two
children to California where her
parents live.
They deemed this the preferable
way to dispose of the case rather
than keep the woman until she
had become a bonaficle resident
of the county and thus become a
permanent charge. The woman's
parents stated that they were
willing to care for her if she
could be returned to California,
where they live and where the
woman came from.

In Roberts County

Webster World: Sheriff J. L.
Minder and States Attorney G.
r. Jorgenson of Roberts county
have declared an open season on
blind piggers and are going after
them hot foot. Since January
1st, when Mr.. Jorgenson went
into Office these two officers have
arrested sixteen men accused Of
blind pigging, and the end is
not yet
Thursday morning they brought
over three men to be sentenced
by Judge Bouck. The three
parties were Morris Winters,
Max Wagner and John Ostrus.
Winters confessed to selling
liquor on a com mission basis for
another party, who is also under
arrest and bound over to Circuit
Court under 500 bonds. Win.
ters vas given a fine of $50 or 25
days. Wagners, livery man at
Claire City, and Ostrus, BUTCH
cher at same place, were each
given a fine of $3.50 and 80 days
in county Jail. They also receiv-
ed a few words of advice from
Judge Bouck which left them
q little the worse for wear.
The Judge also took advantage
of the occasion to compliment
the officers Of Roberts county on
their attention to duty.
Blind pigging will soon become
as unpopular in Roberts county
as it is in Day Co.

Mountain Tunnel Opened
Great Engineering Feat Completed
by the st. Paul

A traffic event of Importance
to the northwest occurred recent
", when the Snoqualmie tunnel
on the st. Paul road was opened
for travel. The crack transcon
tinental trains of the st. Paul,
the Olympic and the Colum bian,
will be routed through the tun-
mel line regularly. The tunnel
is one Of the greatest engineer
ing feats ever performed in the
United States. 1t was bored
through two and one-half miles
of solid rock in the Cascade
mountains in Washington. It
lies about forty miles east OF
Seattle. The tunnel will reduce
it to a minimum delay from
snow blockades in the mountains
and will lower the cost Of oper-
alton on the western line of the
system.

keep their bank account on the crediq
side, otherwise their cheeks will be
thrown out and In some cases protest
fees are liable to be added. This
system is calculated to bring about
q better business policy. 1t has been
the custom of all banks to at times
honor checks for tritle more then de.
posit balances. AS a result a very
large number of depositors have be.
come careless in the keeping track of
their bank account and checks have
been issued for sums that would over
draw their balance. 1t will tend to
bring about better business methods
and will likewise stop some people
making deals that they would not
otherwise make if they had to hav
the cash on hand. 1t is understood
that state banking departments will
follow the rule of the government.
This is matter that every person
having q bank account will have to
take notice OF.
No matter how willing the bank
may be to accommodate depositor in
this matter OF over draft, the bank is
not permitted to do it, and will make
itself liable to penalty in SO doing.

SCHOOL NOTES

Last week Mr.. George N. Keniston
who has been known in this section
for his work in connection with the
Yellowstone Trail visited the schools
and spoke briefly to the. High School.
While he took occasion to make
some sharp thrusts At those things
which may spoil school work, at the
same time be gave some advice and
suggestions that aught to prove very
helpful to the pupils. MIR. Keniston
has had much platform experience,
and the fact that his talk pleased and
interested the pupils and teachers in.
dicated that he must b . popular and
entertaing speaker where ever he ap-
pears. The high school was indeed
fortunate that Mr.. Keniston consent
to speak to the school.
At the last meeting: OF the board of
education supplementary readers
were ordered for the first and seventh
grades. With these books on hand
the grade rooms are reasonably we'll
supplied with material for reading
practice.
The basket ball teams are expecting
to play at Sisseton on Friday eve
ming. These are the first games Of
the season for Milbank High and it
remains to be seen what sort of show
ing the teams can make. Considering
the fact that M. HI. s. has basket
ball floor in the school building we
ought to have strong teams. 4 num-
Der of our neighboring towns lack
such advantages and their teams have
to rent floor for practice as we'll as
for their games. Miss Englund will
have charge of the girls te am, and
Mr.. Hill will look after the boys.
That the school year is more than
half gone has impressed the seniors
and they are showing activity in var
lous lines. Committees are looking
up the matter of class pins, COM
mencement invitations and the publi-
cation of the annual.
The class has selected class play
which has been approved by the fac
ulty The title is, "At the End Of
the Rainbow Miss Kahl has been
selected to coach the play.
The snow and wind storm OF Thurs
day and Friday was the cause of con-
siderable sbsence in The case Of those
who live at :distance from the
school. On Friday afternoon the
first three grades we're dismissed, but
all other departments ran on schedule
Members Of the class of 1915 enjoy
ed sleigh ride Saturday night.
Misses Englund and Kahl of the H. S.
faculty chaperoned the party. All re-
port an enjoyable time, though the
ride was for the most part confined to
the streets Of Milbank as the roads
were scarcely in shape for good sleigh
ing.
Other classes Of the achool have
asked about sleighing and other par
ties, and the announcement has been
made that the schools do not sanction
nor approve of parties given on
nights other than Friday or Saturday.
The other evenings of the week are re-
served for study on school work

CROP PROSPECTS.

Crops throughout Mississippi
are spotted this year. In most
places in the southern part OF
the state, the reports come that
they have fairly good crops.
Very little cotton Is raised there
now on account Of the boil weeviI;
they have turned their attention
to other things. The people have
had to readjuss their business in
order to meet this pest
In central Mississippi they have
had a long dry spell and in most
places they have very poor crops.
Here and there they have fair
prospects.
In North Mississippi the crops
are very spotted. Need OF rain
has been felt for weeks Cotton,

THE NEED OF THE sILo.

The farmers Of this county
have for many years needed some
sort Of remedy to save their poor
corn when the drouth comes.
Many tigzes corn almost natures
but the dry weather cuts it of
before !; has time to make any
thing Of any value to the farmer.
, Some few cut down the stalk and
thus save q part OF it; most OF
them allow the entire stalk to
wither and die and they get moth
ing. That loss can be made a
saving by the use Of the silO.
The farmer can save his entire
corn crop that way. All he needs
to do Is to cut down his entire
field and put it away in the silo.
This makes the finest feed in the
world and il takes care Of the
farm sr's labor; it Is the only way
for the farmer to succeed one
year with another. The North
ern farmer has long since solved
this problem; that is why he is
prosperous; he takes care OF the
waste when we do not.
This county ought to have sew
eral hundred sIIos. 1t is not a
question of cost; our people can
not afford not 70 have silos-we
must take care Of the waste pro
ducts; we muct be able to hedge
when the drouth comes.
