BABY BURNED TO
DEATH AT DEERING

Deering, Feb. A 2!year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Smedrud, of Deering, was burned to
death late Tuesday afternoon, when
the child's clothes caught fire, the
flames badly incinerating the entire
body. The mother had gone on an err
rand to neighbours leaving her two
small children in the house. Left
alone, evidently they began playing
with the fire in the kitchen range and
in some manner the baby's clothes
caught fire. A neighbor hearing the
calls of the baby's older sister for her
mother and seeing smoke coming out
of the house went to the rescue and
found the baby lying on the floor in
it's smoldering clothes. To put out
the fire, the child was taken out of
doors and rolled in the snow. The ac-
cident happened about o'clock. DR..
F. K. Kolb was called from Granville
and went up on the evening train, but
found the child's condition so bad he
could do nothing to relieve the SUI
fering until death, which came about
7:30 o'clock.

Check Tuberculosis i'm Farm Flocks

While the first evidence of tubercu-
losis in poultry in North Dakota ap
peared in 1907. % to 100 tubercular
fowls are now being received at our
laboratories each year. Other states
are experiencing similar increased in
iectiOn>. Last winter and spring a
veterinarian in this state tested 80
flocks in this territory for fowl tuber-
cuosiS. Ninety per cent of these
tiocks contained tubercular fowls and
the degree Of flock infection ranged
from 2 to 21a per cent.
People not familiar with tubercu-
losis in fowls refer to it as going

Birds showing visible symptoms of
the disease are invariably old birds.
Reasoning from the basic know
ledge which appears well established
relating to this disease, we believe the
following specific regulations and
general sanitary precautions if dill

1. Provide proper hygienic condf-

windows and adequate ventilation.
We are too apt to believe that cold air
means fresh air, which Is not neces-
sarily true. Make provision for sep
srate apartments for rooSting and
feeding activities. and both apart
anents should be cleaned of it's litter
once each week, so as not to compel
the birds to wallow and feed in their
accumulated filth which may he con-
taminated by the infected drOppings
of one or more diseased birds. The
dong continued confinement of large

cramped quarters. badly ventilated
with practically no sunlight and in
many instances under the complete alb.

conditions for tuberculosis as we'll rs

FAT CATTLE PRICES LOW.

The agricultural committee of Presi-.

ployment gave the following striking
example Of recommendation based
on available economic data:
The aggregate of charges between
the farmer and the food consumer are
excessive and ways should be found to
reduce them. In August, 1921, the in
dex of producers price on beef cattle

Do these figures disclose that the

compensation money? Where, under
any of these items has the veteran
found any opportunity to squander
his "bonus" in crap game or a wild
goose chase to France? And do not
the first two items show that the
lmoney is badly needed for the pay
ment of debts and for the buying IF
clothes? And does not the third item
show that the veteran is setting aside
,1much money as possible into sew
ing account in order that he may in
later years become more valuable
citizen in his community? And last,
does the item of five-tenths per cent
spent for recreation cause anyone to
believe that a great part of the COM
pensation will be "thrown to the

there any reason to believe that the

One Of the Arguments against ad-
justed compensation Is that . pay
ment today would dc more harm than
good. Such payments. they say!
would be wasted, or worse, they would
encourage idleness and dissipation
Fortunately and evidently without
the knowledge Of these opponents sur
veys have been conducted in states
whose compensation has been paid to
ex-soldires to determine exactly how
the men are spending the compensa-
ton money. And these surveys show
that more than 95 per cent Of the
money received is being used towards
useful and thrifty ends.
Where will the Money Go?
Compensation officials in the state
of Ohio have recently completed a

lars to its soldiers and most Of the
