Pressure to have him become candidate for
circuit court Judge in Monongalia county has be-
come SO great that State Senator Edgar B. Stewart
ha: issued statement which makes it clear that
while he is in no sense candidate for the post he
would not refuse to serve il be we're drafted. This
is matter that is Of very great interest in Marion
and Taylor counties, which with Monongalia con-
stute the senatorial district which Senator Stew
ar served with so much distinction during the last
session of the West Virginia legislature. In the
coming session Senator Stewart would be even more
valuable TO the people Of the state and OF this dis
trict than in the last There are some important
movements in which he is expected to assume lead
ership, fundamental municipal reform being one OF
them. However, the affairs Of the Circuit court Of
Nonongalia county have been in turmoil for
long time and this condition creates situation out
Of the ordinary If the people Of that county think
the way out is through the nomination and election
Of Edgar B. Stewart he probably would be justified
in assuming the new responsibility. But neither
Senator Stewart nor his friends are justified in TAX
ipg him away from field where it is certain that
he can render the public valuable service for no
better purpose than TO strengthen ticket IN hot
political fight. Unless the call clear Senator Stew
art should ignore it. There is work for him 10 do

FIRST AID TO INJURED
AUTHORIZED BY THE NORTHERN
DIVISION OF THE AMERICAN
RED CROSS
BE A HELPFUL BTSNANDE Err
By Captain G. +. G. Fisher
The Triangular Bandage


This is the particular bandage which
we wish to have you learn to use, III
all cases Of First Aid, where bandage
is necessary. 1t can be made from any
old sheet or pillow-case, or use un-
bleached cotton thirty-six to forty in
ches square, and if you use the un-
bleached material, see that it is not
too heavy, but little heavier than
cheese cloth. Fold the square of cloth
cornerwise and cut, that giving you
two triangular pieces; and for the size
to use on the hand, shoulder or for
small scarfs, cut one of these triangles
in half and that will give two smaller
bandages.
In all applications, aside from the
arm sings, always aim. at neatness by
folding in the edges, tucking in the
ends, and positively always tie square
knot Study the illustrations which arc
found in the "A. r. G. First Aid hand"
books and you will quickly acquire the
knack Of applying the bandage cor
,rectly and neatly.
The peculiar advantage of the tri-
angular bandage is that the material to
make it may be found almost any
where, that it can be applied to any
part of the body, and unlike the roller
bandage, it can be put on quickly and
stay where it is put. Be sure and make
a set and fold up and put away for the
emergency which may arise at any
moment.

Extension Div. Letter
SEED CORN SELECTION TIME AL
MOST HERE

Thousands Of Minnesota corn growers
will soon be gathering seed for next
years crop, and by Seed Corn Time,
September 1920, the movement for
seed selection should be general in corn
producing districts. Farmers long ago
found it was not advisable to depend
on seedsmen for corn planting stock.
In northern Minnesota only corn that
natures there is suitable fol. seed. The
central zone has somewhat longer sea-
son and can grow larger corn than the
north and in pinch can get sead from
outside states. Southern Minnesota
can grow corn almost as large as corn
raised in Iowa and Nebraska. But it
has been the experience of farmers in
all three zones Of the state. that home
grown and adapted varieties of seed
corn give far better results than can be
obtained from imported seed. If the
soil is cold and wet at planting time,
seed of strong germination-the best
seed obtainable-is necessary If a good
crop is to be had in the fall. Only oy
selecting seed at the right time and
taking good care of it after it has been
selected can the best results be ob-
tained.

FERGUS FALLS HOSPITAL HAS
HERD OF 275-I.ARGEsT
IN THE STATE,

/ St. Cloud Times:-The ,275 head of
cattle belonging to the Fer gus Falls
state hospital constitutes the largest
Holstein herd in the state, according
to figures presented at the last meeting
of the Minnesota Holstein- Freisian as
sociation. About twenty of these are
pure bred animals, including two pure
bred bulls.
Mr.. Henry Roberts, who has charge
Of the farm, hopes ultimately to re-
place the grades with pure bred stock
but unless the state buys some blood
ed animals, it will take years to accom-
plish this.
The hospital has 12O acres Of pasture
for it's milk cows and 60 acres for heif-
ers. In addition it has Al head out to
pasture in Friberg and 80 head at the
Billings farm. There are IL calves in
the barns, too young to be in the pas
ture yet. Because of. the drought and
consequent poor pastunge, it is necess-
ary to feed little hay and soiling
crops now. :.'s:.
The herd is tested once a year for
tuberculosis. Milking is done by hand.
Thirteen men milk the cows twice a
day.
1--WE milk 1876 cows;sat present and
get 5000 pounds of milk daily" said
Mr.. Roberts, (which allows about two
pounds per person at the hospital. We
expect to bring the number of mixers
up to $50 at least. Milk is an ideal
food for an institution like this and
three pounds per person would not be
too much.' -

HEAVIEST TRAFFIC ON SWAN
VILE ROAD

"A road census is being taken on all
the state roads of Morrison county this
week, to ascertain which roads have
have the greatest amount Of traffic. The
count is being made under the direc-
ton of J. E. Viner, county engineer.
So far State Road No. west, seems
to be in the lead, it having the heaviest
traffic for the first three days Of the
count, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday:
The total number of vehicles passing
over State Road No. 3, during these
three days was 1880, of which number
1910 were autos, 81 trucks, 13 foreign
cars, 80 heavy teams and 106 light rigs.
The total number Of passengers was
1910 and the average was 3 persons
per car.
The road census, which is being TAX
en- all over the state this week, will
determine the roads having daily
traffic of over 500 vehicles and which
will consequently receive first atten-
ton if the Babcock amendment passes
this fall. It is doubtful that any of
the roads in this county will come in
on this.
