PURE FooD LAW

An interesting point was raised
by the defense in case tried at
Redfield Monday when Harvey Wat
son was arranged in justice court on
a complaint of A. Prestwick, an in
spector of the state food and drug
department. Watson was charged
with selling, to be used for food a
COW which was unfit for food being
a deceased animal suffering with
lump jaw. The evidence showed
that Watson, in December had
called DR.. Walker, veterinarian,
who cut away part Of the lump on
her jaw and also part Of the bone.
The disease had progressed so far
that he was unable to remove all
the deceased parts and advised
Watson to ship the COW to market
where the carcass would be passed
upon by federal meet inspectors.
Sometime in January, Watson sold
the cow to a Redfield butcher,
julius Schmechel, who slaughtered
it and sold the meat for consump-
tion. Schmechel was arranged in
court on complaint of Prestwick and
pleaded guilty to selling meat from
deceased animal and was fined
$31 .O5, including costs.
Attorney Clark for the defendent
held that the live COW as sold by
Watson to Schmechel could not be
classed as food and therefore his
client had not violated the food
law. The justice took the case un-
der advisement. His decision is
awaited with interest as the question
to be decided is an important one
and may have effect on the food
law in the state.

RED CAM LAW

Violation of the red can law have
recently been called to the attention
OF Commissioner Frary Of the state
food and drug department, who is
also state oil Inspector. Accord
lngly notices are being sent to all
wholesale dealers in gasoline in
the state, calling their attention
to the requirements of this law.
which prohibits the delivery Of
gasoline into retainer cans holding
less than sixty gallons unless such
container be painted q vermilion
red. 1t also prohibits the storing
OF gasoline in other than red con-
timers except containers holding
sixty gallons or over.
The law applies to all retail a
well as wholesale dealers in gasoline
and to users, and merchants who
have been in the habit Of filling
customers cans without regard to
whether they were painted red will
do we'll to observe the requirements
OF this law. Persons who keep
gasoline in any barrel, cask, can,
Jug or other container which is not
painted red are violating the law.
A short time ago one of the in
spectors prosecuted farmer who
was caught hauling gasoline away
from supply station in a barrel
not painted red. The dealer who
delivers gasoline into the unlaw-
ful retainer was also prosecuted,
Inspectors of the department have
been advised tobeon the look out for
violators of the law and to make
prosecutions whenever violations
are found. The properties Of
gasoline which make it so valuable
and useful as fuel, also make it
dangerous when carelessly handled
OF stored. Too much care can
not be practiced with gasoline
and the red can law is q good
statute.

YELLOWSTONE TRAIL

President Parmley after the an
nual meeting Of the Yellowstone
Trail association last week, in an
article to the daily papers said !:
Accomplishments surprised the
vision of three or four years ago
when few dreamers looked west
and east across South Dakota and
saw a road stretching across three
states, and a few pioneer tourists
venturing across the continent.
Every s-ction reported thoroughly
practical road with promise for
greater effort in 1916 then ever be-
fore. What is known as the South
ern route from Chicago to Ply
mouth was adopted, but its exact
location ad the smaller towns
through which it will run will be
determined later when represen-
tation will will inspect the routes.
Plans are perfected for the build
ing Of = toll bridge across the
Little Missouri at Yarmouth, thus
overcoming one Of the greatest OBJ
stacles that has loomed up before
every traveller.
The association entered into an
agreement with H. o. Cooley for
a period Of one year to act as it's
agent in general promotion and pub
licity work. The official magazine
the only one Of it's kind-becomes
permanent publication and will be
the medium Of communication
from one end Of the trail to the
other.
The concensus of opinion of those
present who have travelled over
every country highway to the coast
was to the effect that no other
route has the strategic location of
the Yellowstone Trail. That in it's
short four years it has become a
better road than any other and that
with publicity ten tourists from the
east will 60 over it in 1916 to one
in 1915.

FOR COUNTY OFFICERS

Candidates for county offices have
begun to file notice Of their inten.
tion, and several have already done
SO. For county superintendent Of
schools there is going to be no
dearth Of candidates, Prof. Nachti-
gal Of the south part Of the county.
and Prof. j. w. Guest, who has
been q teacher in the county for a
number of years, have already
made formal announcement of their
candidacy, and we understand that
Prof. Geo. w. Reinmuth, in charge
Of the Troy schools, is also : can
didate for superintendent; Frank
Fransen and julius Jorgenson have
announced themselves as candidates
for the office Of county COM
missioner for the third commits
sioner district.
There seems to be q general tim
idity on the part Of those who may
apply for the other Offices in the
cou ,ty, but this will probably wear
away as the zero weather leaves us.
The only other name we have heard
mentioned has been that Of O. p.
johnson, Of Stockholm for the Office
Of county treasurer. Whether this ID
with Mr.. Johnson's consent or not
we are unable to state, but It be
should consent to the use Of hia
name we believe no better selection
could be made, and that his nom-
ination and election would be cer-
tain to follow. It 10 perhaps Z
little early to make predictions,
but it is probable that there Willie
candidates for all the Offices beforG
the close Of the primaries in the
early summer.

Frank Fransen Of Pennington
was q county seat visitor last Mon
day.
Mr.. Fransen is q candidate for
county commissioner for the third
commissioner district, and as Far
mington has never. been honored
by having one Of its citizens elect
ed county officer, his friends think
that this is good time to show
that Pennington is at least in the
county and is worthy of recogni-
tion, even if heretofore it has been
too modest to ask for anything in
the way of office.

MORE WHOLESOME.

Our young friend Andy Lockhart
sends US copy of his new bro
chure, Sunshine. Andy is versa
tile genius and probably surmises
that q little sunshine would be a
proper after medicine to follow
up Chain Lightning, and while the
new departure may not be as profit
able financially. it will be more pro-
fitable ethically to publisher and to
readers. The upturning Of the pu-
trid things Of social life, the stir
ring around Of the maggots and
filth Of society may ct times be ne
cessary in reforming the world, but
. constant dishing up Of this foul
ness is not wholesome thing for q
community, and particularly the
younger part of the community.
even If it is attempted in the name
Of reform. Pope's lines on this are
as trite as they are true:
Vice is q monster Of 30 frightful
mien
Az to be hated needs but to be seen
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her
face
We first endure, then pity, then
embrace.
The old world needs more Of sun
shine than Of lightning of either
the chain. forked or the sheet varie.
ty.
