DISEASED POTATOES MAKE POOR
QEEn

Great care should be used in select
ing seed potatoes. Only tubers that
are true to type and tree from disease
should be used.
A number of diseases, such as late
|blight rot, fusarium wilt, black-leg
rot, scab and rhizoctonia, may live
over winter on the potatoes.
Tubers affected with late-blight rot,
if planted, may rot completely in the
soil or produce infected plants which
serve as a source of general field in
lection of late blight as soon as fav-
orable weather conditions occur. The
fusarium wilt is carried over in the
tubers, forming brown ring discol-
Grafton at the stem end. If consider
able wilt was present last year, the
proper thing to do is to discard all
seed tubers showing the brown ring
discoloration.
Tubers affected with black-leg rot,
when placed in storage, rot completely
and spread the disease to healthy po-
tatoes by coming in contact with them.
The disease germs, when they come in
contact with bruised areas, will i'm
|mediately start rotting the tuber. On
unbruised tubers film containing the
disease germs will form and dry.
Bruises and cracks are favorable lodg-
ing places for THIS disease. If con-
siderable amount of this rot is present
in storage, select only sound potatoes.
The selected tubers should be cut and
treated in formaldehyde, one pint to
thirty gallons of water, or in corrosive
'sublimate, four ounces to thirty gal.
Ions of water.
Tubers containing scab or rhizocto-
MIA should be avoided for seed pur-
poses. If large amount Of either
one of these diseases is present, select
the cleanest tubers and treat in cor
rosive sublimate solution for one and
one-half hours.
Selected and treated tubers should
not be planted on soil that produced
diseased potatoes the year before.-A.

SAFETY OF CHILD ASSURED ny
NURSE

That 50 per cent Of the newborn
babies have or develop some defect or
disease within the first ten days after
birth is indicated from records which
have been compiled at the University
hospitals, Minneapolis. This fact en-
'phasizes the urgency Of expert medical
care for both mother and child, says
DR.: I. ). Murphy Of the Minnesota
Public Health association.
1.-The mother and child are entitled,
not only to medical CARE" DR.. Murphy
(says, |thut the mother should be allow
ed sufficient time to convalesce before
beginning work again. It is well

and child, if not the entire family
In some cases this is due to ignorance;
in others, to poverty. AS a girl the
in school, nor has she had a chance to
learn it since. Until we have rudi-
mentary health principles taught to all
school children, we shall not have
much progress in child welfare work
or in the entire preventable field.
"In the meantime, however, present
needs should be met. The agency that
can do this best is the visiting nurse.
Any community Of more than 5000
could employ such nurse to advan-
tage the entire year. Although her
services would be available for every
one in the community, country and
town, the chief duty would be with
the school children, until school clos
ed. Then she would work with the
mothers and babies. The mother
could be taught how to take care Of
the babies. One nurse can supervise
the homes of hundred we'll babies
better than she can care for one really
sick one.
! "By periodic visits, the nurse would
safeguard the health Of the child un.
til it was turned over to the school
authorities. Then, if adequate medi-
zeal supervision while in school main
} tanned that state Of health until grad.
uation, there would be produced an in
telligent citizenship, which would not
only enact, but comply. with, neces.
sary health laws.

OPEN REBELLION REPORTED,

OPEN REBELLION REPORTED.
Douglas, Ariz., March 1e-Numer~
Gus reports have reached the United
States military authorities here that
open rebellion has broken out among
the Carranza troops at Catuilona, IS
miles south Of here. Americans here
are seriously disturbed and extra pre-
cautions have been taken to guard the
town.
Ell Pasc, Texas, March l6.-The die
is cast. General J. J. Pershjog, in COM
mand of the American punitive ex-
petition in search of Pancho Villa,
has crossed the border into Mexico at
Columbus, New Mexico.
A curtain of greatest secrecy was
thrown about the punitive expedition
int Mexican territory which it was
feared would involve the United
States in war with all Of Mexico.
A censorship as strict as any i'm
posed by the European war was laid
on all news sent out of Columbus.
U. S. Troops Fired on, Report.
Newspapers realizing that any vio~
1atton of censorship regulations would
bar their representatives from Mexico
have been loath to send out news
from Columbus.
Two alarming reports became cur
rent during the day. These seemed
to indicate the truth of the prophecy
that American Invasion would prompt
q general uprising in favor OF Villa in.
northern Mexico. as.
It sifted through the censorship
that Carranza troops under General
Pablo Bertani had fired on the Amer
lean troops advancing across the bor~
der, a few miles south of Columbus.
Rancher Reports Clash.
Thomas R. Davis, rancher, we'll
known about Columbus, arrived in EH
Paso and said without eQuivocation.
that Carranza troops had fred on thu
American invaders.

one in town. The inhabitants were,

meant. The troopers of the Thirteenth
cavalry dashed out toward the border.
Rapid volleys of musketry wore
heard In Columbus for the next hour.
1t was said that Carranza troops had
fired on the American border patrol
who had repaid in kind"
This alarming report was investi-.
gated carefully in Ell Paso. The Amer
lean army authorities denied it. Gen.
eral Gabriel Gavira, commandant Of
the Carranza forces at Juarez, and Of,
Chihuahua of Northern Mexico said II
was not true.
General Gavira said:
"This is lie. General Bertani evac.
uated Las Palomas, IA miles south of
the American border. He did this at
my orders. He is headed for Guzman.
That will be his headquarters for the.
time being. d..
Consequently any firing that might
have been heard on the border was
not from Carranza's quarters"

THE MAYORALTY

City election is next Tuesday, and
Little Falls will select a mayor. DR..
G.. M. A. Fortier is candidate for re-
election. There have been few may
ors of Little Falls that have taken the
wholesouled interest in the progress OF
the city and the welfare of its people
that the present mayor has. Nor have
there been those who have given more
of their time to the Offices require
ments than has Mayor Fortier. The
city council will in the main be COM
posed of last years aldermen, and al
though differing some with the alder
men on certain questions, there has
been large measure Of harmony be-
tween the executive and the legisla-
tive branches of the city. This is to
be greatly desired, and with his re-
turn there is little reason to believe
but that this condition will continue
Matters that have come up that are
within the mayors province to decide
have been disposed Of as they should
be-without prejudice-and in the in
terest Of the community as a whole.
Mayor Fortier is asking reelection and
we believe he warrants that consider
alton.
