There must be some organ OF the government
which is in intimate and constant touch with all
the executive departments that spend the pub
lies money. In England and Germany this or
gan is called the Treasury Department, but the
name is immaterial This supervising agency
must have general knowledge of the needs OF all
departments and bureaus and understanding of
their purposes, to be in a position to pass
intelligent judgement on their claims for public
money. It is important that this agency be in
constant touch with the departments and not
just step in once year to look over their claims
in lump. Say the Forest Service wants new
priation. It should take the matter up with the
supervising agency at the time it sees the need,
talk it over, arrive at an understanding.
Every spending department, bureau. and SO
on, should submit all it's claims upon the public
purse to this supervisor-by whatever name it
might be called-and the supervising agencys
veto should have pretty much the same effect as
the presidents veto Of bill passed by congress.
That is to say, an appeal could be taken to some
higher authority, such as the cabinet or a joint
fiscal committee whatever body the govern
ment agreed upon for that purpose But the ar
rangement must be such that only in some plain
case could appeal from the supervising
agency's veto be successful.
Congress must bind itself not to consider any
claim upon the public purse that does not come
to it with the 0. K. of the final authority which
has been agreed upon and set up to consider such
claims.

Warns Against Relaxing
Fight Against Influenza
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE dan.
ger of relaxing efforts to check the
spread of influenza was emphasized
again today by Surgeon General Blue
Of the public health service.
''The epidemic is not ended" the
surgeon-general said. land such re-
crudescences of cases and deaths as
are now occurring in many localities
may be expected to become more or
less general.
ANY statement at the present time
that the epidemic has come and gone
for good can only do harm, for 1t
will lull people into false sense OF
security and cause them to relax the
precautions they should take to avoid
the Infection"

From Marshfeld Herald

From Marshfeld Herald
People in this city who witnessed
the ominous looking cloud in the east
ern sky last Wednesday evening little
dreamed of the damage the storm was
doing in the vicinity of Milladore.
DR.. ". 0. Dyre, cashier of the Milla-
dore State Bank, was here Thursday
and Informed Herald reporter that
no less than half dozen large barns
and several homes were blown down.
He said the cloud, which was funnel
shaped, passed to the south within a
mile of the village and for distance
Of three miles took everything before
1t. Its extent in width was about 200
feet. The cloud approached from the
west and at first was thought by the
villagers to be cloud of smoke from
a passing locomotive, but it proved to
be no such tame affair.
A half hour after the storm had
passed reports began coming in of the
damage done and Immediately rescuing
parties followed in the track of the
storm giving aid to those who had suf-
fered by its visitation.
AS near as Mr.. Dyre could remember
farm residences owned by Gus Bulgrin
Geo. Stashek and John Skibbu were
leveled to the ground, the only known
casualty being that of Mrs. Bulgrin,
whose arm was broken by piece of
flying timber In addition to losing
their homes, Bulgrin and Stashek lost
their barns as did also John Lilly, An
ton Lasig and Louis Krupsick. He
estimated the property damage at
from fifteen to twenty thousand dol
lars
The storm passed between the hours
of 8 and 9 o'clock, travelling slow and
was accompanied by rain and hail.
