of Dickinson, saw all the exhibits,
asked questions, and before leaving
expressed himself as more than
pleased with his short visit.
Col. Roosevelt was shown the beau
tiful pennant from Medora, his home
while he resided in our state. The
pennant was sent to the building by
the Woman's Needle Club of that
village and when asked whether there
was a needle club in Medora when he
lived there the Colonel said, "no in
deed-no needle club" and the Roose-
welt smile mantled his face as he said
it. AS he was escorted through the
exhibits of grain, clay and other pro-
ducts on display in the building he
made repeated expressions of praise
for North Dakota and it's exhibit.
"This is great-great," he would say.
And when shown the beautiful corn

asked, "Just where is this pottery
made?" He seemed greatly interest

the State University had developed
this so we'll and that the

Dakota were found neal Dickinson.

GOVT TESTING HORSES
10 HEAD DESTROYED

Spring Valley Times:-On July
rs a big crowd was present at the
ranch of Frank Reckard to watch the
process of testing horses for dourine,
a disease which the government is
taking steps to eliminate. Besides
Mr.. Richards horses there were those
of VIM. Connolly, Frank Dawes, John
Bang, W. C. Pelton, Herb Lester and
G.. Klott, making a total of 1853 head
tested on this day. A four ounce bot
tie of blood is taken from each
horse. The serum is taken from
this, put in a carefully labeled bottle
and together with a report is sent to
Washington for analysis. The horses,
unless bearing a name, are branded
on the neck with a hair mark. When
the analysis is returned any horse
on which the test has reacted is shot
and the loss made good to the owner
by the government, the price paid not
to exceed $500 for each head.
In making tests of 1,725 horses
only 10 head were found affected in
Mckenzie and Dunn counties. Archie
Merrill of Fayette had one affected
horse and there were three near
Grassy Butte and these were the only
four found in this section. No test
had been made the previous year of
these.
By the time the horse has been
corralled, branded, the blood taken,
labels made and pasted on the bot
ties, serum bottled up, report made
out and sent in the doctor has spent
considerable time and done a lot of
work. Then the analysis at Washing
ton and possibly the destroying of the
horses. In all the government is
putting forth quite an effort to pro-
tect the horses of this country from
disease. And this is but one of the
tests being made.
