germicidal preparations offered for
sale scores Of worthless compounds
have been placed on the market.
Many hundreds of citizens have
written to the United States public
health service for advice. The matter
finally assumed such Importance that
the service decided to see what 1T could
do in the way Of compromising a sim
pie and effective disinfectant of it's
own. The result of its work is what
is known officially as "Hygienic Labo-
ratory Pine-oil Disinfectant." which
may be manufactured in ones home at
cost OF less than so cents a gallon
Of the concentrated compound, and
which is more effective and satisfac-
tory as a germicide than a large per-
centage of the expensive disinfectants
on the market. The public health serv-
ice is distributing to all who ask for it
a pamphlet telling just how this simple
disinfectant can be made without spe-
cial equipment.

the Judgment of Zurich. Switzerland's
neutrality corresponded to her interior
and exterior needs. There was n deha-
Gle in international law. but until the
present Switzerland's rights had been
respected.
The federal council anirms its will TO
conduct alone the exterior policy of the
country. The respect of neutrality is
the basis of the instructions given by
the general of the army. and the latter
had no intention to play politics. The
iish the supremacy of the civil power
were most reasonable. hut the law OF
1894 was based the experience
gained in 1870. when the necessity was
recognized of giving to the general of
the army in all military operations
complete independence. That which
was delicate in the present situation
was that Switzerland was not at war.
but in state of armed neutrality. II
there was war the situation would I'M
mediately become clear.
The economical situation Of the coun-
try depends upon the solution given to
a ctual questions. The revctualing of
switzerland depends upon two groups
of belligerent powers. 1t was necessary
to take into consideration the circum-
stances and conclude a compromise.
Now a compromise will never satisfy
everybody. No compensations had been
accorded to one side alone. Without
compensations what would become OF

He Isn't Spider.
Don't call daddy longlegs q spider,
because he isn't. Spiders bite and
have poison glands. This insect is per
fectly harmless. 1t isn't just pleasant
to have one Of them crawl up your
arm or down four neck, but you're just
as safe as when he isn't there-ten
times safer than the insect is just at
that moment. He's not only harmless.
but so common that you'll find him al
most any place in the world where it's
warm enough for him to exist.
In good old American language we
call him daddy longlegs. Maybe you've
heard him called harvest man or grand
father graybeard. He has eight long
legs bowed in the middle, So that when
he's standing up his little round body
almost touches the ground where be
walks. He also has two eyes and two
pincers, which you will see If you ex
anime him closely.

The death rate from tuberculosis
is also very. much less in Wiscon-
sin than in any of the other states.
This, it is believed, is due in part
to the excellent facilities for recrea-
ton and living in the open. The
death rate for the registration states
is approximately 1872 for 100. 900
population while the rate in Wis
consin is only 102. The water sup
ply in Wisconsin is second to none
in the country.

NORTHERN WISCONSIN TO co DRY?
Investigation Being Made As to Wheth-
er Northern Wisconsin Is In
eluded In Indian Treaty.

There is a possibility that the
strong arm of the government
which so effectively wiped out the
saloons in certain parts of northern
Minnesota may reach out and do
likewise in northern Wisconsin
and Michigan. The saloons in
Minnesota were closed on order
from the government on account of
the treaty of 1854 with the Indians,
which forbids liquor on territory
covered by the treaty. 1t is said
that there is similar treaty which
takes in large part of Northern
Wisconsin and Michigan, and an
investigation is now being made.
Concerning this matter we print
the following from the Ashland
Press under date of Odanah, Jan. 4
The question of whether nearly
all of Northwestern Wisconsin and
large portion OF the upper penin-
sula of Michigan are included by
treaty in Indian territory has been
submitted to the proper authorities
at Washington. 1t is said here that
petitions are being circulated among
the Indians on the Bad River reser-
walton asking for prohibition of the
liquor traffic in their reserve. The
stir that has been made by these
moves recently is likened to that
which occurred in northern Mime
sofa when the subject was first
broached there two years ago and
which resulted in banishing nearly
100 saloons from the district a short
time ago after long fight between
the federal officials aud the saloon
men and wholesale liquor interests. |
Some of the same agencies, it is
said, that insisted on the govern
ment enforcing the provisions of
the Indian treaty in northern Min
nesota are now engaged in similar |
work in northern Wisconsin and
upper Michigan. Philip Everest,
Indian agent, told newspaper men |
recently that the government was
probing to see if the treaty between |
the Chippewa Indians and the gov
eminent, drawn up in 1854 and |
stipulating that liquor should not |
be sold in that reservation in north
ern Wisconsin and upper Michi-
gan, has ever been annulled.
District Attorney M. E. Dillon,
of Ashland, is of the opinion that
neither the treaty of 1854 or that
of 1912 will make northern Wis
consin dry" He has looked in
to the question and made a study
of both treaties and in a statement
to the Ashland Press declared that
while northern Wisconsin is en-
braced in the treaty made by the
United States government and the
Chippewa Indians in 1912, there is
no anti-liquor clause in that treaty. |
In the treaty of 1854, there is an
anti-liquor clause but the treaty
does not embrace Northern Wis
consin, but it is confined to Mimi
esota alone. The treaty of 1854 he
states is the one that caused the sa-
loonkeepers of Hibbing and other
cities in Northern Minnesota to
close up their places of business.
There is a vague possibility of con-
stueing certain sections in the later
treaty to affect Northern Wiscon-
sin, but such an action is not ex-
pected.

Irrigation Company
Has Spirited Meeting

The stockholders of the Snow
fiake-Taylor Irrigation Co. held a
special meeting here Monday.
There was a good attendance
from Shumway and Taylor, be-
sides the local coterie, and the
session lasted the entire day.
One of the most important
questions that came before the
meeting was that of the pro-
posed purchase of the mill site,
water right, mill machinery, ETC.,
OF the A. C. M. I. grist mill at
Shumway. Those for a n d
against the proposition had sew
eral friendly "bouts" arguing
their respective sides of the
question, and when left to a
vote of the shareholders the
negatives won out.
There was also a new water
superintendent elected at the
meeting. Ralph C. Ramsay land

SWOLLEN STREAMS
DO GREAT DAMAGE

Silver Greek and Cottonwood
Wash were each on a rampage
the first of the week, caused by
rains Sunday and Tuesday and
also by the melting of snow in
the mountains.
The wash was at high tide"
Tuesday afternoon and did some
damage to fields in the north
east part of town. The follow
ing morning Silver Creek was
filled to overfowing and several
fields were considerably dam
aged, besides the bridge over
the creek was washed out. Re-
ports come from Showlow and
Taylor that the bridges at these
places were swept away. and
the one at Shumway has been
put out of use.
This was by far the biggest
rise" we have had in this
section for many years, and will
necessitate the building of many
new bridges, large and small.
over the various streams of this
part of the county.
The mail conveyances h d
some difficulty in crossing the
wash east of town-in fact, they
didn't cross with their cars,
leaving them on the HolbrOok
side and making the trip over
on horseback with the mail sacks.
While the mail both from the
north and south has been de-
layed some each day, yet no
trips have been missed.
