ball season was ushered In on Mon
day night at Lange's Hall when the
Whirlwinds, of this place, failed to
live up to their name and were de-

DISASTROUS STORM

Griggs County was visited by q ter
rife wind and hail storm Tuesday
evening about 8 o'clock. In town the
wind was not so severe, but hail stones
as large as hens eggs fell for q few
minutes, breaking windows in differ
ent parts of the city,. Luckily, the
hail fell gently, without driving
wind, otherwise damage Of a serious
nature would have resulted. North
and west Of Cooperstown, the storm
was much more severe, and we learn
that liver Udgaard's barn was struck
by lightning and burned, Fred Wild
lund's large barn was blown over by
the wind, as was Mrs. Steffens silo.
Across the river the wind was severe
also, and the barn Of Mrs. Bemis was
damaged, as were others. North and
west of town, the crops suffered most
III. from the hail, and in the vicinity
81 Jessie the loss will be considerable.
Among those who were hailed out
vert Charley Arndt and the p.
Marquardt place. The storm was the
most severe of the season, the hail
stones the largest that have fell here
IN many years, and the crop loss in
the county, particularly between Bin
ford and Jessie, is tremendous.

MAKE. THE PUNISHMENT FIT
THE CRIME

A few days ago a Judge sentenced
a convicted white SLAYER to one year
in the state penitentiary. Had he
been bare-footed and stolen a pair of
shoes he would have got three years.
How are we to keep from having
contempt of court or being in favor
of recall of the judiciary as long as
such inequality of justice as this pre-
walls? A white SLAYER is the lowest
dog on Gods fair earth, a white-liv-
cred cur who ought to be dashed nak-
ed through the streets with whip
of scorpions and be branded on the
forehead with a red7hot iron, yet he
is given when convicted a lighter SEN
tence than the poor hungry cuss who
breaks into a smoke house and gets
away with ham. That sort of JUS
tice is as rotten as the business of
the human polecat who traffics in
mans honor and woman's virtue and
barters innocent girlhood for filthy
gold.

SEDIMENT IN MILK

There should be none. "a
2-If there is, it indicates dirty,
careless methods in production or
handling.
Sediment in milk comes mostly
from the bodies of cows, the hand of
the mixers and floating dirt in the air.
4-Sediment is not fit for food; in
fact, much of it is dangerous.
5-Ordinary straining will remove
only the coarse particles Of dirt,
makes the milk look better, but does
not improve or add much to its health
fulness. E ~5s
6-The most efficient strainers are
made of filter cloth and absorbent cot
ton. Cheesecloth and wire gauze are
not so efficient.
THE best method of all is pre-
vention, by having clean cows, clean
milk rooms and barnes, clean utensils
and clean mixers with clean hands
to do the milking. ~ %
8-Straining cloths should be
changed often and thoroughly wash
ed and boiled after each using.
9-Ten minutes boiling or exposure
to live steam will do the work.
1O-Nobody wants dirty milk. Why
produce it?

DOES IT. WORK."
Does it work?

OOSS IL WOIk
The Tribune has been asking that
question regarding the effect of pro-
hiibtion in Minneapolis, and has let
daily statistics regarding arrests,
cases of drunkenness, number of in
mates in the workhouse and Jail now
as compared with the like time last
year speak for themselves.
A casting up of these figures for ID
days yields total of 359 arrests COM
pared with All year ago. The total
of cases of arrest for drunkenness
was 49, compared with 253 in 1918.
The number of inmates in the work.
house had declined yesterday from
223 to l65 and of inmates in the
county Jail from ID to So.
No newspaper in the country has
been more vigorously opposed to
compulsory national prohibition than
the New York World. The news edi-
tor of that paper has gone widely
afield to discover what effect prohi-
bition is having in the larger cities
of the country. Some of the returns
are:
Milwaukee-First week of July, rs
arrests; preceding week, LA.
aBaltimore-Marked decline not only
in disorderly and drunk cases, but in
assault and robbery.
Philadelphia-De of 500 ar
rests; smallest total in years.
San Francisco - Almost a blank
page on police records.
Boston-Marked decrease in ar
rests.
Providence about half
number same period in 1918.
Kansas City, Mo.-Only eight ar
rests in period, sometimes showing as
many as 100.
Buffalo-Arrests decrease about so
per cent.
Chicago - Big decrease in arrests
for assault and minor offenses.
St. Paul - Arrests fall off 60 per
cent.
Louisville-One arrest for drunk
enness in Is days.
New Orleans-Thirty-eight arrests
compared with $50 normally.
Prohibition appears to be doing
something very marked to the police
records of the country and we
haven't yet had a month of it. Even
The World admits that the saloon has
shown itself to be in sharp disfavor
in this country and that there is a
pronounced and growing sentiment in
favor of it's permanent Punishment"
The question "Does it work." is
answered in the affirmative. The
working is not perfect, but no sensi-
BILE man expected so much. That it
will improve as the months and years
go on is a reasonable anticipation

DYSPECTIC MONKEYDOM PESSI
MTSTS

It has been said that immortality is
the curse of the race; that rum is
running the people; that neglect of
cfild-life is running the people; that
contempt for law is destroying the
state; and now comes one D. B. c..
Keister, noted specialist, who de-
clared before congress of scientists
at Philadelphia that the United States
is now second only to China in the
use of opium, and that there is danger
from the use OF. narcotics Of the peo-
pie degenerating back into something
worse than monkeydom.
Mr.. Keister and his high-brow fol-
lowers can go back to monkeydom if
they want to, but we are just going
to keep right on keeping on, and in
due course of time expect to become
a pretty decent sort of man, one who
writes cheerful things instead of
damning everybody and everything in
sight just because the universe and
the people are not perfect. If any
body goes back to rnonkeydom it will
be for two reasons-one because he
sprang from monkeydom somewhere
back in the dim and distant past, and
another because he had scrambled
brains of the monkey brand. Some
may have monkey brains, some fat
ty degeneration of the think tank and
still other brains of the grapenut va
riety. It takes all kinds of people to
make world, including bilious scien-
fists and those who predict all sorts
Of dire calamities for their fellow man
for no other reason than their own
livers are disordered and need shak-.
ing up.
There are many destructive agen-
cies, such as immortality, rum, opium.
social frivolity and green-goggleds
specialists who can see nothing about
the apple but the rotten speck where
the worm took a bite. In the mean
time, we should all go right on follow
ing the even tenor Of our way, grow
ing in grace, advancing in education
al enlightenment, increasing in wealth
adding to our peace of mind and con-
tentment, conscious that our .civiliza-
ton is growing better all the time.
Evils there are, but the best cure
for them is to cultivate the good, the
true and the beautiful. Sending the
country to the bad is an enterprise
the pessinists undertake with habit
'ual 4 periodicity, but we always find
unon investigation that as a matter
of fact instead Of t ending toward
,monkeydom we are improving as q
race and getting to be better men and
women every year.

WAR LORDS AND GREED

OF all the Kings, Cars, Emperors
and Sultans recorded in history, not
one out of a hundred ever did any
thing for mankind and the welfare Of
the world than to breed degenerates,
some of them legitimate, but mostly
on the European plan.
Upon the part of the Central En-
pires this has been war of greed and
lust for gain and conquest, and those
are the few attributes we cannot un-
derstand in any human character. We
understand every crime in the calen-
dar but the crime of greed, every lust
of the flesh but the lust for gain, every
sin that ever damned soul but the
sin of selfishness, and by the sacred
bugs and beasts of Egypt we'd rather
be witch's cat and howl in sympathy
with our tribe, we'd rather be tramp
and divide our handouts with one more
hungry; we'd rather be NANCY dog
without master and bay at the moon
with others Of our kind, than be q
preed-mad warlord drunk with lust for
others land, with the blood Of the
snake the heart Of beast and carry
our soul like Pedro Garcia IN our
purse. When we think Of the thous-
ands between whom and the storm
blasts is naught but rags, Of the other
thousands Of little innocents such as
Christ blessed, whose nakedness has
known the north wind because Of this
war, of still other thousands whose
prayers are ascending on high to Gods
great throne, not for salvation but Tor
soup, not for robes of righteousness
but for blankets, and then contemplate
the royal rascals beside whose hoard.
ed wealth the riches Of Lydia's ancient
Kings were but beggar's patrimony,
we long for the mystic power to coin
sentences that swear like the sui
phur flames from hottest hell, and
weave Of words whip OF scorpions
to lash such sordid sinners naked
through the world.
