TO HAVE TUBERCULIN
TEST FOR CATTLE
Askov Farmers Want to
Know That Their Herds
are Free From Germ.

II tuberculosis once gets into
a herd Of cattle and gains foot
hold it requires time to wipe il
out as well as to get another herd
started. hence il is important to
have cattle examined and know
whether or not the germ exists.
A. p. Jensen. the hustling farmer
from northwest Of Askov. writes
concerning tuberculosis testing as
follows:
Last spring while getting
signers for the COW testing asso-
citation several asked me: why
not include testing for Tubcrcu-
losis! But | said, one at a time.
However, now that we have the
one agoing let us take up the
other. and don't let just few Of
us send in for application blanks.
but let everyone in this commune
ty who owns cows sign up. as this
doesn't cost us anything extra
The state sends veterinarian
to do the testing free. and If any
cows are found affected they will
be appraised and we first get
whatever they bring on the mar
ket and Of the balance the state
pays two-thirds and the federal
government one third.
Someone might say: where
does the state and federal gov
eminent get the money from to
pay for this? Why Of course
from us. But it is simply like
this: we are helping to pay for
getting the other fellows cows
tested whether we test or not, so
why not take the same advantage
ourselves?
Drop me a line and will send
in your name or you can sign at
the local bank. but do il now.
Quite a number have already
signed for testing.
Yours truly,
"A. p. Jensen. Askov."

Dark Rig Is Factor
In Fatal Collision
Road Accident Demonstrates De-
mand for Lights on oil Vehicles
After Dark.

A Ia year old girl was killed
and her father. Sam Braaten, was
badly hurt on road near Fari-
bault on a recent night when
their buggy without lights was
struck by an automobile. Fari-
bault people recalled the warn
ing given by Charles M. Babcock,
state highway commissioner. at a
local road meeting shortly before,
that safety requires lights on all
vehicles on the roads at night.
The commissioner predicted
that the next legislature will
pass law compelling all vehicles
on the highways after dark to
carry lights. He said the great
majority Of farmers and others
using horse drawn rigs now re-
alize that such q precaution is
positively necessary for their
own safety and that of others.
As lghtless rigs on the roads
after dark become less numerous.
the menace from those
remaining is increased. it was
pointed out.

WATCH OWNED BY MAJ. ANDRE
Among Treasures of New YORK
Historical Society.

The silver watch which Maj. John
Andre is said to have carried when he
was captured has recently become the
property Of the New York Historical
society. In 1917 a small volume was
printed entitled "Vindication of the
Captors of Major Andre" There were
printed in this book the affidayits of
Isaac Van Wart and John Paulding,
two Of the captors Of Andre describing
the capture. Both affidaNts refer only
to a gold watch which Andre offered
to his captors for his release and make
no mention of a silver watch.
Turning, however, to the statement
of Ensign Samuel Bowman of the
Massachusetts line, one learns that
this officer was for "a hours preceding
Andres execution constantly with the
prisoner, with whom he discussed his
capture, and that Major Andre told
him he was robbed "of the few gufneas
which he had with him and the two
watches which he then wore, che Of
gold and the other of silver.
The silver watch is of the bulls
eye" type and the hallmarks indicate
that it was made in 1766 On the inner
case is an inscription crudely engraved
"James Oglethorpe, February Z, 1925"
for which there Is no plausible ac-
counting. The whereabouts of the
gold watch is unknown. It was ex-
hibited at Philadelphia at the TINA of
the centennial, in 1876.

Method in His Folly.

A staid business man suddenly be-
gan reading Mother Goose's rhymes.
In his library at night he would
go over these old rhymes, seeming to
weigh one as against another, then
shaking his head. and turning to other
parts Of the book. Naturally his fam
lily became alarmed and sent for the
family doctor.
The medical man had to go about
broaching the subject with fine di-
plomacy, Of course, but it had to be
done and he did it. He explained to
the business man that the latter's
wife was becoming uneasy.
Great snakes" exclaimed the mer-
chant, when he had grasped the idea.

business? I'm just trying to find a
good name for q new style in chill
