consider this suggestion a very good
on eindeed, we will have these lists
printed and forward them to the
Mills to be filled out and returned to
US.
We wish to call the attention of our
Clients to the fact that il would be
beneficial to all parties concerned II
each and every Miller would consider
our Service as one of the Departments
of his own Mill and would feel at
liberty to issue to Us any instructions
or suggestions which he desires to
have followed out in exactly the same
mannr as he would issue instructions
or suggestions TO any Manager of any
other department of his Mill. We
trust that all Millers will endeavor to
establish and maintain a close person
al relationship with our Service.
which cannot fail to assist Us in the
work that we are attempting to carry
on.
For your further information will
state that Officers close TO the Office
of the Southwestern Millers' League
are being prepared by the manager
of the New York Life Building for
our Service, and we expect shortly to
occupy these Offices.
Ii has been the intention of our
Service to establish and maintain an
employment agency for Flour Mill
Workers in order that the Millers may
andy to us at any time for help
needed and we propose TO put this
plan into operation in the immediate
future, and after serious cOnsulta-
ton with Mr.. c. V. Topping. we de-
cided that in order TO completely
cover up the real service, which we
are using, we would have no signs
upon the doors or windows, except the
sign for the Employment Agency,
therefore, the sign upon the doors of
our New Office will read simply The
Southwestern Flour Mill Workers
Free Employment Bureau, and We be-
lieve that by using simply that name
that we will be able to conceal the
real object of our service.
Yours very truly,

WEEKLY FARM
BUREAU NEWS
Campaign to Stamp Out Tubercu-
lOsis in Livestock.

pas" w otahp Vut tuutECu-
losis in Livestock.
The Pine County Farm Bureau
has started a campaign to have
every herd of cattle in the county
tested for tuberculosis. This
will be one of the leading pro-
jectS the coming year.
According to statistics, the per
cent of diseased cattle in this
county is about 1890. We have
1884 herds of cattle. We have
approximately go head of pure
breds and 36,762 grades, making
total of about 37,432 head.
These figures are from the 1920
census so we naturally would
have more. If two per cent of
these are diseased, it means that
there are 748 head in this county
menacing the health of those
using the milk from these ami
mails.
There is now in the county
about 1000 herds under state and
federal supervision. This means
that there are still 1884 herds
that are not tested. We will
carry out the same plan as
Meeker and other counties have
done by adopting the county area
testing plan. This is done by
petition. When the majority of
the cattle owners have signed a
petition for this testing as pro-
vided by a state law passed by the
last legislature Chapter 269,
laws of 1929 authorizing the
county board to provide sums not
to exceed 25 cents per head for
each tuberculin test administered
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1923-10-18

until the percentage of infection
is reduced to I to 1 per cent and
to enter into cooperative agree
ment with the state and federal
department to test all the cattle
in the county and to keep the
county free from tuberculosis.
What Area Testing will do.
Will stamp out a primary
source of human infection.
Will save one and one-half mil
lion dollars animal loss.
Will protect herds already
tested.
Will increase the demand for
and the sale value of stock and
dairy products.
Indemnities Paid.
Appraisements on diseased
cattle are limited to $4,000 on
grades and $4,000 on pure breds.
The state pays two-thirds the diff
ference between what the animal
brings on the market and the APP
praised value while the federal
department pays the other one
third. Thus the farmer receives
the full appraised value.
According to w. A. Peck, live
stock commissioner in charge of
this work, the annual loss to Min
nesota farmers is estimated at
one and one-half to two million
dollars. This sum of money does
not mean half as much as the loss
of lives caused by tuberculosis.
Quoting two physicians-one DR..
Evans of Chicago, says: that rs
to 409o of the T. b. in children is
caused by using milk from dis
eased cows" DIR. Henderson of
the Mayo Hospital. states: that
$50 of their bone cases of tuber-
culosis are of bovine origin"
From these statements and
many others of the same nature,
we believe it is time for the citi-
zens of Pine county to open war
on this disease. The Farm
Bureau wants the cooperation of
all to help eradicate this disease
in the live stock of Pine county.

commonly used in the household
daily routine and sold to the pub
lie as most excellent fire ex-
tinguisher.
The Fire Marshal Department
recognize the fact that sodium
bicarbonate properly used may
act as a good agent in extingmsh-
ing small fires, especially those
known as surface or open
fires. That is, where a curtain or
a floor may be on fire. or where
oil may overflow ON the floor and
become ignited. In such cases a
handful of the ordinary soda pro-
perly cast upon the fire would UNI
doubtedly extinguish same. In
a deep seated fire however, such
as might occur in a closet where
clothes are hung or stored, or in
a manufacturing plant where a
fire might occur in baled goods
or in piles of packing crates. then
it would be extremely difficult
for this dry powder to become at
all effective.
In view of the above it is
suggested as a safety precaution
that the average person might
provide himself with a convent
emily accessible can of common
saleratus. which he can obtain
from his grocery man at reason
able cost, for use in the home pro-
vided a dry powder extinguisher
is contemplated.
For the manufacturing plant
or retail business place it is earn
estly recommended that proper
fire extinguishers be provided and
only those of an approved type
bearing the approval of the Ma
tional Board of Fire Under
writers.
The ordinary home owner
should also provide himself with
an approved extinguisher, which,
in case of emergency, could be
used to hold in check fire occur

the Fire Department"
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1923-10-18

During the past few weeks
there has been thrown upon the
Twin City market several types
of Fire Extinguishers commonly
known as the Dry Powder Ex-
tinguisher. This Dry Powder
Fire Extinguisher is being sold in
several forms of pasteboard con-
tanners and is retailing at $1.75
per tube to $3.50 per tube for the
larger package which weighs
about two pounds.
Many firms and private indi-
viduals have purchased these
packages after a demonstration
of the product. Since purchasing
these extinguishers a number of
persons have communicated with
the State Fire Marshaps Depart
ment and asked as to the relative
merit of the powder purchased.
These inquiries becoming so
numerous, the department felt
that an investigation would be
worth while.
"A sample of this powder was
procured and sent to the State
Chemist for analysis. The result
of the analysis showed that there
were no new properties contain
ed in the powder that have hi
therto not been used.
The powder consists of sodium
bicarbonate, otherwise commonly
known to the housewife as sale
ratus or baking soda. The soda
contains trace of coal tar color
ing matter. The weight of the
powder contained in the package
was not stated, but it was esti-
mated, after allowing for sample
taken for analysis, that the man.
ufacturer intended to supply two
pounds for the price of $3.50.
The actual cost of two pounds
of this compound at present price

cents. From this analysis and
figures contained herein, one can
readily see what an enormous
price is being paid for an article

Those feet were not handsome. In

Poor Mr.. Peacock His pride was
quite crushed. Tommy Blue Jay had
made fun Of his feet and voice and
now Madam Duck had told him his
beauty meant very little unless he
could do something worth while.
He had been told his real worth. and
now he decided he had better be on

RECALLING GOOD OLD DAYS"
Writer Tells Of Times When the Star
sosrdsr Sang "Her Bright Smile
Hsynts Me stiil."

In its social aspect the city was
more dignified and less exuberant,
restless and extraysgant than it is
now, William Lyon Phelps writes
in Scribner's. People dined in
restaurants in order to get some
thing good to eat or because they
had no homes, not to listen to
music or study the faces and clothes
OF chorus and demi-monde. Liyeried
servants were almost unknown, and
one man in the boz OF a coach was
considered enough. Well-to-do fam
lilies dined in the Easements OF their
houses and on summer evenings sat
on the front stoops or in the little
iron balconies that projected from
the drawing-room windows. All
the bosrders in the house where /
lived used TO assemble on the stoop
on pleasant evenings directly after
dinner and remain there until the
landlady's daughter. having finished
with the dishes, entered the dark
drawing room and struck q few in
viting chords on the cottage piano.
On this signal the star boarder
would unobtrusively Withdraw from
our group and soon his throaty
tenor would be heard in "Starry
Night for q Ramble," or his favorite
tour de force, Her Bright Smile
Hsunts Ne STILL" to which mel
oliss We listened entranced.
