BONE DRY ADVICE

Deputy U. S. Marshal Carleton
sounds a warning to South Dakotans
about observing the bone dry law
which goes into effect July LIST. He
says:
Il find that it is the consensus of
opinion among the lawyers whom
have interviewed that a person can
have in their residence any amount
of whisky or beer after the hrst OF
July, provided they do not sell or give
it away. The having of this liquor in
their possession is, however, under
the law prima facie evidene that it is
had for illegal purposes and it is up
to the owner of the same TO prove
otherwise. 1t is also the opinion Of
these same attorneys that a person
living in a hotel. club or rOoming
house is barred from having beer 0 r
whiskey in their possession after July
1st. OF course this is discrimination,
but the knot will have to be untangied
by the courts"

and We are all interested in his doings.
His mother has been here visiting, but
ives called to P%endleton, Oregon, last
Thursday evening by a telegram al
nouncing the illness Of her daughter,
Mrs. Mildred Peck, well known here
as "Milly Allison" We sure hope for
her recovery.
(Since above was written Mrs. Pack

CDR. H. T. Allison of this city re-
turned last night from Vancouver
barracks where he completed taking
the examination for the Medical Of
icers Reserve Corps of the United

nation with high honors. This sub
jects him to be called to the colors
at any moment. However, he does
not expect to be called for three OIL
fou: months, or until the new draft
army is organized. There has beer
considerable rumor going the rounds
that DR.. Allison a leaving Heppnel

here until the call comes.

THE GRADUATES CAMP

The graduating class of the State
College had their final class session
from Wednesday morning to Saturday
noon. of last week, at Gullick's Point,
at Lake CAMPBELL. They called it a
camp, but they all stayed at teh hotel,
ate regular meals, and slept on regu-
lar beds, and as far as we can learn
spent the time in regular diversions,
in regular pairs; there being an equal
number o. bnys and girls and one COM
petent chaperon, Mrs. c. n. Mills, with
the professor in occasional attendance.
One poor boy discovered that after
four years he had only found out that
there was one real girl in the class,
and poor Hopper" declared he would
be willing to edit the Collegian for
ever, if he could do it at camp, with
proper help.

bunch of girls and boys, may they al
ways be happy and successful, for
they sure deserve it.

DANGEROUS A

A few days ago a sample of beans
that were purchased for navy beans by
a South Dakota correspondent was re-
ceived by Prof. n. f. Hansen of State
College for inspection. The cores
pendent asked, IF they are navy beans
can you explain the color" The
beans resemble the navy beans in
shape but instead of the usua, clear
white they have a faint yellowish tinge
In addition there is usually a large ir
regular area on each side which is as
though water-soaked. Only close in
spection reveals this, however. The
veins radiate out from the eye of the
bean like a lima. For the casual OBJ
server they might easily pass for the
navy bean.
These samples were sent to Wash
ington and the following reply has just
been received from D. N. Shoemaker
Horticulturalist. U. S. Department Of
Agriculture, Washington, d. c.
1.-The beans turn out to be a form Of
lima. probably imported from Eas1
India. | have two or three samples
and our bureau Of chemistry has made
an analysis of some of these sample,
and find that they are very high II
hydrocyanic content. You may be
aware that some of these East India
limas are accountable for extensive
poisoning at times in India and the
Orient and that European countrie!
as France and Germany, for a number
of years have forbidden lima beans O
more than a certain cyanogen conten
to be imported into their countries
We have no regulations on the matte
so far and apparently some of thu
beans which would have difficulty il
entering France have been sent to thi'
country. They will not do for seed /!
any part of the United States unless !
be the extreme Gulf coast, since the!
are very ~long-season ingrowth."
Professor Hansen then sent a large
sample to Washington and received
report that the beans are Burma lima
with dangerously high cyanogen cor
tent.

A a OF BUTTER

A pat or serving of butter is q little
thing-there are about Ga of them in a
pound.
In many households the butter left
on the plates probably would equal
one pat or n fourth of an ounce daily
-scraped off into the garbage pail or
washed off in the dish pan.
But if every n of our 10000, 900
households should waste one-fourth of
an ounce of butter daily, on the aver
age, it would mean 312, 800 pounds a
day-114, O62, 500 pounds a year.
To make this butter would take
265, 261, 500 gallons of milk-or the pro-
duct of over half a million cows.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. c., or your
state agricultural college will tell
you how to use every bit of butter in
cookery.

MAKE BUILDINGS RAT PROOF

Rats will do much damage to un-
protected stores of food. feed, and sup
plies this year. All storage houses
should be made rat proof. This can
be done at little expense with mesh
wire and galvanized iron on any build
ing having a rat-proof foundation, say
specialists in rural engineering of the
United States Department of Agricul.
ture, who thus explain the method:
Wire netting with half-inch meshes
is placed all around the outside of the
building overlapping the foundation
slightly and extending to a height Of
80 inches above the ground or floor.
At the top of the wire a strip of 8-inch
galvanized iron is nailed to the out
side of the siding. The bottom of the
galvanized iron is . inches lower than
the top of the wire. making a total
height for the wire and iron strip of
SO inches. The iron will halt any rats
that may climb up the walls. The rat
p~roofing also must be put along the
inside driveway of cribs so that if the
doors are left open rats still will be
unable to enter the storeroOms. Care
should be taken not to leave near the
walls any objects that might enable
rats to jump above the rat proofing.
In buildings that can not be made
rat proof, trapping may be employed
advantagcously, according to special
lists in the Bureau of Biological SUI
vey. The common choke" traps with
the wooden base and wooden bait pan
are recommended rather than those
having metal base or pan. These traps
should be set as lightly as possible.
Oatmeal usually is the most effective
bait. Pumpkin and sun1ower seeds,
corn meal, bits Of fish, or toasted
cheese also may be used. Poisons, if
properly safeguarded. may be used
in building other than dwellings. In
addition to %rat-proofing measures, the
elimination of old out-buildings and
other rat harbors is all important and
associated with the above methods and
acords the only means of securing

rat proofng and other modern features
