A FREIGHT TRAIN
WRECK ON H.&T.C.
TEN CARS GO INTO DITCH TWO
MILES WEST OF WANAHACHIE
EARLY TODAY.
Wrecker and Crew Is Busy and
May BE Cleared by 2 O'Clock So
Trains Can Pass.

An east bound freight on the II.
G T. C. was wrecked early this
morning two miles west of town and
ten cars went into the ditch. causing
complete block of traffic during
the morning hours. II was believed,
however, that the tracks will be
cleared by O'Clock this afternoon.
One ear of Dodge automobiles tel
escoped a car of flour and quite Il
little damage was done other than
tearing UP the track and wrecking
cars. No one was hurt in the wreck
so far as reported here, however. To-
cal railroad men say little about the
wreck.
The wreck occurred on straight
stretch Of track and was due proba-
bly, TO spreading rails. A wrecker
was summoned and workmen are
busy getting the wreckage cleared.
The damage will amount TO consid-
erahle, since the track is torn up
for a considerable distance and much
OF the freight damaged.
No one was hurt in the wreck
since the cars in the middle of the
train vent off the track, leaving the
engine and caboose on the track.

provision is to make the manufact-
urer or wholesaler or person who
knows the composition of the food

their compliance with the provisions
Of the law. In many cases dealer
does not know the composition of
the products he sells, and cannot

was inserted in the law to the effect
that, if the dealer secured a guaran-
ty from the manufacturer or whole
saler or other person from whom he
purchases, the party making the
guaranty would be responsible under
the law, and the dealer would be
relieved of the responsibility. The
dealer should see that all his foods

state commerce, or which he expects
to ship in interstate or foreign COM
merce, or to sell in the District of
Columbia or the Territories, are

wholesaler was authorized to use
this number on his labels to Indicate
that the guaranty which he had filed
with the department covered the
products on which the number was
used. After this method had been
in operation for some time it was
found that the guaranty legend on
the label was misleading to the pub
lie. 1t was incorrectly assumed by
consumers generally and some retail
dealers that the guaranty legend on
the label meant that a sample Of
the product had been examined by
the United States Department of
Agriculture and that in effect the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture actually guaranteed the
product.
The Food and Drugs Act provides
that no dealer shall be prosecuted

ng in the United States, from whom

GOES A LONG WAY
FOR A KNOCK

Frank M. Eddy, in the Sank Gen.
ire Herald, took an awful wallop at
what he calls that damned carni-
VAL" meaing Louie Hills St. Paul
blowout.
The slant of Franks hallucination
is that such winter festival adver-
tises the fact that we have winter
weather in Minnesota, and that such
advertising operates as bar to the
settlement of northern Minnesota
acres.
Bosh, all bosh.
That there is winter weather.
cold, snappy, healthful, invigorating,
man-making-in Minnesota was
known before Louis Hill or his illus
trious dad were born. There will
be the same kind of winter weather
to the end of time, but the agri-
cultural development of Minnesota
will go right along in the future as
it has in the past, because we have
the goods to show and no oneknows
it better than Frank Eddy.
What really is the drag to agri-
cultural development in northern
Minnesota is the land sharks high
price for wild acres, the absence of
good roads and the beastly market
ing system-a system that robs the
producer and the consumer and fat
tens the purse of the middlemen. Re-
move these drags and agricultural
development, winter or no winter,
would go ahead so rapidly that it
would bother an old codger like Ed
dy to keep up with it.
Our winters are the glory of the
hardy man and woman that have
made Minnesota the greatest state
in the Union, and should not be Of
fered as knock against Minnesota's
greatest play time-most of US were
at the Saint Paul carnival this year
and We'll all be there next. Frank
Eddy owes it to himself to be there
too, and get into it up to his ears
as cure for what ails him.
On with the winter carnival.-Me-

CHANCE FOR STUDY
OF RURAL CREDITS

Opportunity for careful study of
rural credits and of the new federal
farm loan act may be found in the
new issue of the Minnesota Farmers
Institutes Annual, a rural credits"
issue, recently brought out under
the supervision of A. D. Wilson, di-
rector of farmers Institutes and of
the agricultural extension division of
the department of agriculture of the
University Of Minnesota.
The subject of rural credits is in
troduced in brief general article by
Mr.. Wilson. This is followed by a
paper by A. F. Woods, dean of the
university department of agriculture
The features of the federal act are
next outlined in an article taken
from one of the publications of the
national department of agriculture.
Among the other articles that will
interest the farmers of Minnesota
are these:
docs the Farmer Incur Risk in
Joining a Federal Farm Loan Asso-
ciation?" by E. Dana Durand, chief
Of the university's division of re-
search in agricultural economies.
"Amortization as Method for
Paying of Mortgage Debt" by j. F.
Ebersole, of the university's depart
ment of economics.
"The Farm Loan Act" an inter-
view with w. w. Flanagan, secre-
tary of the farm loan board.
more Capital and Farm Profits"
by w. L. Cavert of the university's
agricultural extension division.
1.-THE Proper Use of Capital in
Farming" by Andrew Boss, of the
division of farm management of the
Minnesota College Of Agriculture.
profitable Uses of Capital" by F.
w. Peck, associated with Professor
Boss of the farm management divi-
sion of the college of agriculture.
A score of other articles and pa
pers bearing on many other subjects
of value may be found in the annual.
Copies of the annual may be had
by enclosing six cents for postage
and mailing it to the Agricultural
Extension Division, University Farm,

GUARANTEE LABELS
CHANGED ON PACKAGES
New Law Provides Change in Plac.
ing Responsibility Of Pureness
of Food and Drugs.

The following legend, so familiar
in the past on food and drug pack
ages, Guaranteed by Manufacturer,
under the Food and Drugs Act, June
80, 1906, Serial Number 265424," is
disappearing from labels. A method
for guaranteeing foods and drugs
which will be less misleading to the
public has been provided by the Of
ficials in charge of the enforcement
of the Food and Drugs Act. Under
the new plan manufacturers may
guarantee their products on the in
voice or bilh Of sale, or by certain
other methods, but according to
food inspection decision which be-
came effective on November l, 1916,
they may not make any statement
regarding a guarantee or serial num-
Der on the labels of packages of
foods or drugs which enter inter-
state or foreign commerce. How
ever, labels containing the guaranty
legend and serial number which
were printed prior to May 5, 1914,
the date on which the first notice to
discontinue the guaranty legend" and
serial number was issued, may be
used until May l, 1918, in order to
prevent the loss that otherwise
would occur from the destruction of
such labels.
The manufacturer, wholesaler, or
other person residing in the United
States, and shipping foods or drugs
into interstate commerce, according
to the amended regulation, may
! print or stamp his guaranty on the
invoice, bill of sale, or on any COM
mercial paper that contains a list
of the items of foods or drugs
which he intends to guarantee. The
Department of Agriculture does not
prescribe the exact form that the
guaranty shall take, but it is of the
opinion that the following wording
will be satisfactory:
II (We), the undersigned, do here
by guarantee that the articles of
food land drugs) listed herein are
not adulterated or misbranded with
in the meaning of the Federal Food
and Drugs Act, June 80, 1906, as a.
| mended."
| This statement should be followed
by the signature, which may be
printed or stamped, if the invoice
or other document is transmitted by
the guarantor direct to the dealer,
and the address of the guarantor.
Originally it was provided in the
rules and regulations that the manu-
facturer or wholesaler who desired
to- guarantee that his products COM
piled with the Food and Drugs Act
might file a general guaranty with
! the Department of Agriculture to
the effect that the foods or drugs
he shipped into interstate commerce
were not adulterated or unbranded
within the meaning of that act. Up
on the receipt Of a properly execu-
ted guaranty the department assign
ed serial number to the manufac-
turer or wholesaler who filed the

SWISS FURNISH
BARRACKS FOR THE
AMERICAN TROOPS

Berne, Dec. 8.-The American mil
itary commission in Switzerland, it
is announced, has just contracted for
an additional two thousand wooden
buildings to be used as barracks
which are to be delivered not later
than next February to the American
military authorities. These will sup
plement $500 such barracks ordered
months ago.
The barracks are to be about 100
feet long by 20 feet wide, and are
of double thickness so as to protect
the soldiers from cold and damp
ness. They are of pine and are so
built that they can be shipped in
parts and erected without the use
of nails. Each part is numbered so
that the assembling is an easy mat
ter. A number of Swiss building
concerns are to fulfill the contract.

Lake County Votes
on Systematic
Dipping Shortly

Lake County has wrested the
honor from Escambia County, of be-
ing the first to set a date for an
election to vote for systematic dip
ping of cattle, by publishing their
election date to be January 15, 1918.
Petitions having 329 signatures OF
legal voters were presented to their
county commissioners on Monday
and additional petitions came in at
ter the commissioners had acted ia
vorably in the matter.
Reports from there show that the
sentiment in favor of tick eradica-
ton is very strong.
The Orange County commissioners
met this week and voted all the
money that will be required to COM
plctely clean up that county. All
of the watts except seven are ready
for use and those will be in place by
January 1st. Arrangements have
been made to present signed petit
tons for systematic dipping of cattle
in that county to the county COM
miss,oners at their January meeting,
with the assurance that an election
will be called as soon as the legal
requirements Of 80 days notice will
permit.
The solicitation for signatures to
similar petitions In this county Is
progressing satisfactory, according
to those who have the work in charge
and Escambia County will have an
opportunity to get released from tick
fever quarantine at same time as
the above two counties provided the
election is held and the county COM
nnissioners provide the necessary
funds for inspectors and dipping So
luton.
Practically all Of Escambia ccuntys
watts are ready to use. If systematic
tick eradication work is not done in
this county next year, our cattle
owners will be severely handicapped
in developing the beef and dairy in
dustries here.
