CHANGE FOR
 A NICE CELL

Big league ball players as a rule, marry young, and there are com paratively few diamond stars who have passed the quarter century mark with out perpetrating matrirhony. The en- thusiastic fanness who yearns for a ball playing hubby hasn't any wide, choice, but there are still a few good ones to be picked up.
 For instance, there's MT. Ed Pfeffer. The big hurler of the Dodgers is a fine, outstanding figure of man. six feet three in altitude, a good dresser and as handsome as any man needs to be. Moreover. he is twenty-seven years old, and it is high time that some nice gell led him to the altar. Pfeffer is farmer and lives in the vicinity of Champaign. H., during the winter season.

Director Charles A. Keffer, of that Di-

College of Agriculture, Knoxville, from

Keffer's reply, while brief, carries his
point.

Short Course" he says. "The Divi-

but the man who attends the short
course and returns to his farm and

for which the Division was established:
to carry to the people in the country
the results of experiment and research
and the teachings of the College of Ag-
riculture.

II therefore behooves the producer to
look into this matter, with a view to
fortifying himself against such
"slumps," whether local and artificial,
or general and natural.
The method, so general in parts OIL
Tennessee, of feeders contracting
their cattle from dealers for more
or less definite feeding period at a set
margin of profit, has many disadvan-
tages to both the grazer and feeder.
Composition among dealers is not
keen enough many times to bring out
the full value of the grazer's product.
The profit of the dealer goes neither

Who most deserve it. The feeder be-
comes merely machine and leses ell

He merely takes what is given him
and feeds Il the agreed period, feeling
that ne 70 sure OF at least nominal

oyertake the dealer, preventing him
from taking up" the cattle, which
spells disaster to the feeder.
There is undoubtedly an opportunity

east-and some nearer home-who de-
pend on buying nearly all their feeds
for their cattle find it a hard struggle
to keep ahead. Dairymen who feed
their own feeds find the COW a money
maker.
The farm is primarily a place to
raise things to eat, and the farmer

MANY FATALITIES DUE
TO CHILDBED FEVER

Cincinnati. O., Oct. 2S-The. deaths
Of. $4,000 women in this country in
1913 from conditions caused by child
birth was the chief argument given by
DR.. Grace l.. Meigs, chief of the Divi-
sion Of Hygiene Of the Federal Chill
dren's Bureau, in paper read Friday
before the American Public Meath
Association, urging renewed efforts to
convinct women and their husbands
of the need of skilled service for
maternity. Approximately 1000 Of
the total loss of life during childbirth
was due to childbed fever, she de-
clared.
I'm 1913 the death rate per $1,000
population from all conditions caused
by childbirth was but little lower than
that from typhoid fever" said Dr.
Meigs, land this rate would be almost
quadrupled if only the group of the
population which can be affected,
women of collaborating age, are con-
sidered. In 1913 childbirth caused
more deaths among women Is to A
years old than any other disease ex-
cept tuberculosis. Only two Of a
group of fifteen important foreign
countries show higher rates from this
cause than the registration area Of the
United States.
'The rates of two countries, Swed-
en- and Norway, which are about one
half the rate for this area Of the
United States, show that low rates
are attainable.
1.-THE death rates from childbirth
and from childbed fever for the reg
istration area of this country are not
falling; during the Is years from
1900 to 1913 they have shown no dem
onstrable decrease.
I'm this country where the support
and success of preventive health work
depends entirely on popular under
standing and interest, one fundamen-
tai problem is common to all COM
munities and states. This is the prob
lem of how to bring about a change
In general attitude of mind of the
laity towards the care of maternity.
This function has always been and
still is, looked upon with mixture
of ignorance and fatalism. On the one
hand people consider 1t essential a
normal function. They are willing
to entrust it's care to anyone, however
unskilled, and are unwilling to pay
adequate sums for skilled care. 1t is
true that each year in vast num-
Der of cases of pregnancy and labor
they are perfectly normal. 1t is no
less true that each year in certain
and constant percentage of cases
pregnancy and labor are not normal.
While in normal cases nOn-interfer-
ence is without doubt the safest meth
cd of treatment, in the abnormal
cases just as high grade of skilled
care is absolutely essential as that re-
quired in any major surgical emer-
gency. On the other hand, strange
to say, the complications caused by
childbirth and the deaths due to them
are generally looked upon with fatal
ism. 1t is not recognized that they
are to be included among the diseases
which are preventable by modern
methods" ..-.,-~ t.. . ..-a

NORTH DAKOTA LIVE
STOCK MEN PLANNING
BIG JANUARY MEET

Secretary w. H. Peters, of the
North Dakota Live Stock association
is already at work on plans for the
next annual meeting of that organi-
cation, which will be held In Bis
marck on January "a and rs. The
live stock men have never before met
outside Fargo or Grand Forks. Last
winter at the Grand Forks meeting an
invitation was extended the associa-
ton by the Bismarck Commercial club
to hold it's 1917 sessions in the Capt.
tai City. Alex Macdonald of Bismarck
and Glencoe, with the aid Of Com
missioner of Agriculture Flint and
others so ably seconded te invitation
that after vigorous battle on the
floor Bismarck won.
Bismarcker Is President
Alex Macdonald is now president OF
the association, and he is determined
with the aid of Secretary-Treasurer
Peters, and other officers, to make the
1917 meeting the best in the history
OF the association. The live stock
men gather here a week before the
Missouri Valley Poultry association
holds it's annual convention and its
poultry, corn and alfalfa show here.
The North Dakota Press association
meets here the same week, and an
effort is being made to induce the
North Dakota Dairy association to Sc
lect Bismarck for its meeting place
and to name the same dates. The
three forms of animal industry go
hand in hand, and it is believed that
members of each of the associations
would benefit from the experience OF
the others.
Many Expected to Attend
From 400 to 500 delegates are ex-
pected to attend the North Dakota
Live Stock association convention on
January "a and rs. Convention halls
will be furnished by the Commercial
club, and an effort will be made to
present the visitors with such enter
tainment as will bring them back an
other year. Secretary Peters is now
at work on a program, and advertise
ing matter for the convention will be
issued soon.
Auction Sale Proposed
The association is now investigat-
ing the possibility of conducting one
of it's successful auctions Of purebred
horses and cattle in Bismarck next
March These sales have attracted
a large attendance at all the towns
where they have been held. A num-
Der of breeders are in favor of hold
ing a sale in Bismarck, and the Com
mercial club has offered the associa-
ton it's cooperation in making the
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1916-10-29
NEW SCALE HOUSE WILL
BE GREAT IMPROVEMENT!

The not Over-attractive little shed
which has served Bismarck for some
years as all office for its public
weighmaster, has disappeared from
view. Broadway at the Auditorium
will no longer be INSTRUCTED. The
scales will be set flush with the new
pavement, and at the rear of the
Auditorium, free from both street and
sidewalk, a permanent brick office, OF
an architecture in keeping with. the
large building, will be erected.
Bismarck's weighmaster earns his
salary and considerable amount
more. Every ton of coal sold at re-
tail in the city; every load of hay and
many other commodities are checked
up by the weighmaster before going
to the customer, who is thus assured
of getting every pound paid for.
