By BILL PRICE.

Washington is the cleanest city
in America" is the tribute today of
DR.. Manton M. Carrick, OF New York
and Dallas, Tex, said to be the
greatest civic sanitarian in this
country.
DR.. Carrick is leaving here after
three or four days observation of
sanitary conditions, that subject be-
ing his particular hobby. He has
taken part, directly or indirectly, in
cleaning up $50 cities and towns in
the United States and has written
thousands Of words on sanitation for
magazines and publications of all
kinds.
Many Factors Responsible.

THE well-kept streets, your system
of collection and disposal OF garbage,
your good drainage and sewer sys-
TENS, your beautiful parks, the ven
tilation and care of public buildings,
and above all, the general appearance
of your private homes, are all factors
in putting this city at the top of the
list Of model sanitary municipalities
of the world
Immense credit is due to the
housewives OF Washington. They
have pride in their homes and in
Washington, and, with the example
set them by your Health Department.
they are leading the way for all
American housewives. DR.. Wood
ward, your health officer, ranks high
for his achievements.
n Around your public markets there
room for considerable Improvement.
Stalls and market places generally,
where meats, fruits, and other perish
able things are sold, should be
screened.
Prevention Future Medicine.
This, too, Is the largest city in
kfhe United States where the laws
and regulations for a supply OF pure
milk are sadly deficient. 1 am told
THAT this is because milk laws are
before the courts for decision and
that It may be some time before
babies and adults are protected. Milk
should be graded in classes and sold
accordingly and nothing but the
purest product ought to be allowed

THE medicine OF the future is to
be preventive medicine, together with |
the constant enlightment Of the peo-

those things that will make Ameri-

than thorough medical Inspection of
public schools. Washington, 1 am
told. has such an inspection now, but
It is limited. There should be a large
stan OF medical advisers among the

OF every child in schools should be
kept freely informed as to the prin- |

will soon be entirely extinct in North
Dakota is the opinion of Commission.

who is receiving satisfactory reports
from his three special agents, who are
devoting all of their attention to the
eradication of this deadly shrub.
"The agents report excellent coop.
Grafton everywhere. The only differ.
ences that have arisen to date are
two in Fargo, where there was some
difficulty in convincing the owners
that their hedges were barberry.
The women's clubs have been of great
assistance in educating the people of
their communities to the Importance
of exterminating this dangerous bush,
and in most cases our agents found
on arriving in the cities that the bar
berry already had been destroyed"
The last legislature appropriated

against the barberry bush, held re-
sponsible by Prof. Bolley of the Ag-

ties for the rust, which in 1916 cut
down to 40,00O,00O bushels a wheat
crop which ran over 150,000,000 in
1915 "There is no question in my
mind" said Mr.. Hagan today, "that
rust is primarily due to the barberry
bush. believe that it will disappear
with the going of the barberry bush.
It is possible that some bushes may
be overlooked this year and that we
may still have some rust, due to the
presence of stray bushes somewhere
in the neighborhood. do not think
however, that this rust inoculates the
soil or the seed. 1t is not a disease
but fungi resulting from accumula
tions of barberry bush, pollen, and
am confident we have it on the run

Farmers Club Picnic

On June 14th the Riverdale Farmers
Club celebrated its annual picnic at
Riverdale school grounds No. with Sc
present. The weather was good though
just little cool, for the younger gen.
Grafton to be outside all day, so we
turned the schoolhouse into nursery
and kindergarten and all proceeded to
have good time. First came the
dinner, of which there was an abund-
ance, the H. c. of L. was entirely for
gotten for time. and with some lively
music to eat by, you know one can al
ways do it up right. Then came the
program, which though not long was
good, with both opening and closing
songs, appropriate to the times, being
sung by all. Next the races for chill
dren of all ages, and prize for the
winner of each. And last but not least
of this part of the program was the
apple eating, won by Roy Balm by a
very small margin over T. B. Roberts.
But say, we'll always think Bunk
should have had those honors, for the
way he got down on all fours and
rooted would remind you of thor
oughbred. He's no slouch.
Then to the ball ground, which was
conveniently near, where they did
good playing for just country scrubs.
It was East Side VS.. West Side, the
East winning by score of IA to s..
And while this was being enacted
what should some of those old fogies
do but forget that they had had any
dinner and HE them away to the city
for refreshments in the shape of ice
cream, which with plenty of cake, was
served to all Immediately after the ball
game. Then games were played in
which old and young took part until
about six o'clock and we were not
anxious to leave then, for we were
having real time. In fact, the only
time in all day that we didn't really
enjoy was when we had to keep still a
minute and let the picture men get in
their work. Well, it was a success
from start to finish.
And say, if you have no club in your
vicinity you'd better get busy. They
are a good thing in more ways than
one. You get cheap enjoyment, good
information on lots of farm topics,
meet neighbors you seldom meet any
other place and it helps to broaden
the mind and make us better citizens.
Long live the Farmers Clubs.

In thrilling game, Oakes defeated
Guelph last Sunday on the local dia-

evidently was determined to win the
game and they started off in whirl-
Wild fashion. They were on the long
end of a 40 score before our boys
woke up and began to show what they
could do. They drove Jimmy Wallace
from the box in the fourth inning by
scoring five runs in that session. Reko
led off and reached first on an error.
Olson and Goodwin went out, but H.
Lauth singled, scoring Reko. Hem
minger also singled and N. Enger fol-
lowed with triple to left, scoring
Hemminger and Lauth. Strutz singled,
scoring Enger with the tying run.
Rand brought the total up to five,
bringing Strutz in with three-bagger.
Canty famed for the third out. Guelph
took the lead in the next inning, scor-
ing four runs on three hits and an er-
Tor. Van Meter went in the box for
Guelph, and held our boys scoreless in
the fifth inning. Rand relieved Strutz
in the fifth inning and pitched good
ball, banking Guelph in the sixth,
seventh and eighth innings.
Our boys scored one run in each the
sixth and seventh innings. The eighth
netted them three more runs and
brought the score up to 10 to in our
favor. Lauth started the inning with

for Oakes as Guelph came near win

and they only succeeded in getting
two runs. That tied the score and put
it up to Oakes to win. Olson. first man

struck out, but Lauth landed his third
