At Wills Creek Washington was for
mally appointed aide-de-camp to Gen.
eral Braddock.
The tragic result of this expedition
against Fort Duquesne is familiar his
tory, as well as the fact that it was
largely due to Washington's valor and
military skill that remnant of the
expedition was saved in the smashing
defeat on July 9 of the Battle of the
Monongahela, in which Braddock was
mortally wounded. Pale and weak
from recent illness, the young aide
rode fearlessly into the fight. Two
horses were shot under him and four
bullets pierced his clothes, but he
emerged unscathed from the conflict
and led the depleted but reorganized
expedition back into Maryland.
One of those rare f1ickers of Wash
ington's sense of humor Suggestion
of Mark Twain's remark that the re-
port of his death had been greatly ex-
aggerated) appears in a letter writ
ten at Fort Cumberland ten days after
the battle:
AS l have heard, since my arrival at
this place, circumstantial account of
my death and dying speech, 1 take
this early opportunity of contradict
ing the first and of assuring you that
have not yet composed the latter.
1t was on his return to Virginia and
in recognition of his skill in extricat-
ing the troops that on August ID,
1855, still a youth of % but a veteran
in frontier warfare, he was appointed
colonel and commander-in-chiefo of the
forces of Virginia. 1t was in that ca
pacity that he again went to Fort
Cumberland on the 18th of Septem-
Der to make a new inspection. The
young colonel wanted his men to be
smartly attired, and he ordered that
every officer of the regiment should
provide himself as soon as he can
conveniently with Suit of Regimen
tails of good blue Cloath; the Coat to
be faced and cuffed with Scarlet, and
trimmed with Silver; a Scarlet waist
coat, with Silver Lace; blue Brooches
and silver laced Hat, if to be had,
for Camp and Garrison Duty"
In October, 1855, Colonel Washing
ton started out to make a personal
survey of the frontier from Maryland
to North Carolina, with the purpose of
establishing a chain of forts to pro-
tect the colonists from warning In
dians. The successful completion of
this project was one of his greatest
achievements as a military engineer.

cline the honor.
After recording that he breakfasted
on August at Governor Johnson's

Amelung, native of Germany and a

today. Among the rare pieces were
two large goblets of flint glass upon
which was engraved the Washington
coat of arms.
It was soon after Mr.. Amelung'S

Disease will never be wiped out by
public regulation and public sanitation
alone, says a bulletin issued by the
Minnesota State Medical Association.
When milk supplies have been pas
teurized and all water supplies made

many diseases will still rest with the
personal habits, good or bad, of the
individual.
1T is absolutely essential to look after

bulletin. by this means typhoid has
been cut down from one of the major
disease menaces of every year to a
minor item in the monthly reports of
the public health departments. But it
persists, sometimes in small epidemics
of six to twelve persons. Sometimes in

State Health Officers can do to stop

spread over inflicted areas at cost of
80 cents an acre.
BY counting the potential danger of
renewed hopper invasion, this writer
does not intend to foster fear in the
Red River valley, but to assure the
residents of that area that this de-
partment is awake to the menace and
is taking all steps possible to prevent
or counterfeit it. Old timers undoubt-
eddy recall how in the 70's the locust
plague reoccurred for several years,
particularly in South Dakota. With
modern scientific methods of today, it
should be possible to prevent a repeti-
ton of this tragedy.
In the Central Cooperative association
of South st. Paul., Minnesota has the
largest livestock marketing organization
of its kind in the world From far and
near come students of the cooperative
plan of marketing to study the Struc-
ture and workings of the Central.
The association, whose ramifications
extend throughout the northwest, has
been in existence since 1921 In that
time it has done business totaling
$308, 420, 470.39. In the period of its
existence it has returned $1,030,593 in
patronage refunds to it's members.
The Central was created and is
managed by bona fide trainers! Did
we hear someone say that the farmer
was a poor business man?
Minnesota leads the states in number
of cooperative associations and volume
of business conducted by cooperatives.
Hay.
Timothy hay, with 1,l3O,062 acres de-
voted to that commodity, led all the
tame hays in acreage in Minnesota in
1881. During the same year 1,69461
acres of wild hay were cut.
Bookkeeping.
Elsewhere in this column we in
timated that farmers, contrary to an
erroneous widespread conception, are
good business men. Farming, without
argument, is as much a business as
conducting grocery store or managing
factory.
Occasionally, however, this writer has
stumbled across farmers who keep
books under their hat. Yet, even the
most efficient merchant realizes set
of well conducted books is invaluable
to his enterprise. We believe the same
is true of farming.
If you are not keeping books, we urge
that you start set at once. A glance
will tell you where you stand, the cost
of production of different commodities,
how much you can expend for this pro-
ject and that. Any county agent or
your banker will be glad to show you
the simplest and most efficient manner
of keeping your accounts in order
Those few of you who havnt devoted
any time to this phase of farming would
profit by doing so in the future we
assure you.

to the bulletin, that a recent outbreak
of eight cases of typhoid would never
have happened if the woman who
helped to prepare potatoes for church
supper salad had washed her hands
properly before she undertook to pare
the potatoes.
"She was a chronic carrier of ty-
phoid" says the Medical Committee,
that is, one who was not herself sick
but whose discharges persistently har-
bored typhoid bacilli. The health de-
partment in question traced the out
break to her and persuaded her along
with three other carriers to take part
in a hand washing experiment. They
repeated the preparations for the salad
with hands soiled by the germs. The
result was that the bacilli persisted
and even multiplied in the slowly cool
ing concoctions. Then they washed
their hands thoroughly with soap and
water and did the same thing. No
germs whatever appeared in the salad
this time.
Thorough handwashing is a neces-
sary correlary to all scientific pre-
ventive medicine. 1t isn't always pos
sible to locate every typhoid or polio
carrier. But it is possible to teach
everybody to wash carefully not only
for his own protection but for the pro-
lection of others" says the bulletin.

help tone the intestinal tract. ALL
BRAN also furnishes iron for the

The bulk" in ALL-BRAN Is much
like that Of lettuce. Within the
body, 1t forms soft mass. Gently,
it clears the intestines Of wastes.
How much safer than taking pills
