Veterinary Advises to Clean Up

Brookings-"Don't confine opera

and lawn, but give stables. pens and
barn wards a thorough cleaning as
WELL" suggests DR. C. C. Lipp,
veterinarian at South Dakota state
college. He says: This barn clean.
ing is important for the prevention
of animal disease as well as for i'm.
proved appearance. By the time
clean up week arrives small grains
will be sown. corn ground will be
ready. and there will be time to
spare for this purpose
"All manure should be spread on
the fields. This will allow the
stables to dry out and be purified of
foul odors by the free circulation of
pure air. Sweep down all dust and
cob webs. Admit all the sunlight
possible. Sprinkle or spray the en-
tire enterior of all stables with a
solution of sheep dip, eight to twelve
tablespoonful per gallon Of soft
water. This will destroy disease
germs, and kill lice and mites. A
few days later the entire inside OF
the stables should be given a coat OF
ordinary whItewash which will hell

ThOs. Walsh's Widow
Sues for Insurance

WATERFOWL, April 20.-An effort
to collect an accident insurance
policy held by DIR. L. B. Walsh of
Artesian, who died from blood
poisoning a few months ago, through
court procedure, failed here yester-
day afternoon, when it was held
that circumstances surrounding the
death of DR.. Walsh did not consti-
tute an accident. The suit was
brought by Mrs Ella Walsh, wife of
DR.. Walsh, against the Great West
ern Accident Insurance company of
Des Moines, Ia, in which her hus-
band had a policy of $500. The
case was tried in chambers session
of circuit court before Judge c. G.
Sherwood.
According to allegations of the
plaintiff DR.. Walsh v~accinated him.
self a short time before his death.
Five days later he dressed a mans
hand where blood poisoning had de-
veloped and at that time inadvert,
emily scratched his own arm and in.
fected it where the wound was made
for vaccinating. Three days later
DR.. Walsh died of blood poisoning.
The plaintiff maintained that the
death was the result of an accident
and therefore demanded payment OF
the policy. The defendant refused
payment on the ground that a accl'
dent had not occurred, and sub,
mitted testimony end argument to
that effect yesterday. At the close
of the trial, which consumed most
of the day, the court decided in
favor of the accident insurance COM
pany.

Nearly so autos were standing on
the Main street of Miller Saturday
afternoon, and not over five or six
of them were town cars. Farmers
and their families we're in town to
do their shopping and attend the
movie theatres. It begins to look
as if cars will have to be parked on
Main street on such days, by each
car driving in square to face the
curb. This plan would accommodate
more cars and also enable any n
car to hack out at any time desired.
