No Threat of Isolation.

1t is just as much "news" when a
paper corrects false report which is
abroad as when it tells a new story.
The report is out that DR.. Teas, coun-
ty health officer, has been notified by
the State Board of Health that unless
he intimately secured pest house the
town would be quarantined from the
rest of the world. That was interest
ing so a REGISTER reporter ran the
doctor to earth and asked him the di-
rect question. The truth is that the
State Board OF Health has been cor
responding with the local board right
along, but so far from threatening to
isolate the town, the last letter brought
assurance that so long as the people
of lola helped the health officers try
to suppress the disease the State Board
would not quarantine lola. There
was also a recommendation that a
pest house be secured Immediately as
the very best way to cut down the
prevalency of the disease.

SPRING AND SUMMER STYLES.
Blacks and whites to he the Rage
When the Summer Goods
Come In.

Getting spring wardrobe together,
or rather a spring and summer ward
robe, is really quite fascinating piece
of business, provided it is undertaken
in the middle of winter; the only OBJ
lection being that in the middle of
winter there are 80 many other things
to be done that time is somewhat linn
tied. But the shops are not 30 crowd
ed as later, and the dressmakers not
so rushed with work, and one can lin
ger over the choice of fabrics and cob
ors without the feeling that some ono
else is waiting to take ones place,
This season the spring and summer
fabrics are unusually summer like, az
though the terrific heat of last sum-
mer had made people feel the clothes
suited to the tropics was what would
be needed around New York; and
those materials are quite thin enough
to do duty in the tropics. The colors
are quite dainty, the designs most
varied. 1t is going DO be a most diff
cult matter for the woman who prides
herself upon dressing herself exolu-
sively according to a color scheme to
resist the destinations OF the many eK-
quisite colorings she will see displayed,
says Harper's Bazaar.
Blacks and whites are the rage
that is, white with black figures, or
vice versa. There are muslins, cam
brics, grenadines, bareges, silk mus
Inns and numbers of materials for
which the name is not known, but
which are on the order of GAUGES, that
are woven with transparent white
ground, covered thick with small
polka dots. These gowns are supposed
to be trimmed with black Lace, and,
not being intended entirely for second
mourning, are enlivened with trim
mings of bright panne velvet, satin or
taffeta ribbon in belt, collar and often
in vest front. Entire deux of black lace
is used for trimming and yards and
! yards of 1t are required.

HART LIVERY BARN BURNS
Fire Started in a Full Hay Now and
the Whole Building Is Total
LOss-Insuranc Light

AS Dave Hutton, night man at
Marsh Harris livery barn at 2l0 north
Washington avenue, was eating his
breakfast at o'clock last Friday
man ran in the front door, and yelled
to him: "Your barn is all afre in the
rear of the now" Dave coolly did
all he could to save the horses and
the rigs, telephoned for the fire depart
ment and worked like good one, but
when the affair was over onlya smould-
ering heap of ruins showed where the
barn had stood.
There seems little doubt that q
tramp, rising from night in the NOW
lit his pipe and ignited the NOV, max
ing his escape without giving the
alarm. There we're about six tons of
loose ha in the NOW and this burned
flercely ana vvdld not be suppressed
even by q stream of water. The night
watch rang the fire alarm and says
the fire department made a fine run,
but in its haste they forgot to call on
the power house for extra pressure.
So time was lost in returning to the
engine house to do this. The whole
barn was soon ablaze. Hutton and
some willing helpers ran the buggies
out after cutting the fourteen horses
loose. Hutton freed the horses and
drove them from in front of the build
ing, and it is astonishing that they
went, for the last one was surrounded
by fire when freed. Webb Bostwick' S
buggy and harness, two buggies be-
longing to VIM. Lanyon, jr., and
harnesses, and one buggy and all the
harness belonging to Mr.. Hart were
burned. L. Sleeper's hay wagon had
been left behind the barn after unload
ing hay the night before and it also
was burned. Mr.. Hart returned the
day before from Oregon where
he bought car load of horses and
these were luckily still at the depot,
else they might have burned also,
Mr.. Hart carried $500 insurance on
the barn.
Not only did the main barn burn,
but small stable on the rear of the
120 foot lot also belonging to Mr..
Hart, burned to the ground and the
adjoining fences were destroyed. The
frame of the barn Office was saved,
which was fortunate as close beside it
were two frame buildings belonging
to Mr.. Lawitzska, which was saved
although the walls and roof were bad
ly charred. These buildings were oc-
cupied by restaurant which McHugh
and Roseuberger had moved in the
evening before. Mr.. Lawitzska car
ried 1925 insurance on the two build
ings, which will fully cover his loss
Mr.. M. M. Hart, intends to re
build, although all he said to the re-
porter was. 81 haven't hardly made
up my mind yet, but the ground vii
not stand idle. hardly like to built
of wood again" And such statements
from an lola man, as every bod!
knows, simply means that he nevel
thought of doing anything but re
build, but is figuring just how mucl
bigger and better he can afford Il
make it this time. The location i
good and perhaps brick building
will replace the burned frame. Al
the horses turned loose from the barr
the morning of the fire were found il
herd in the north part of town an,
secured without trouble. MIR, Har
expressed his appreciation of tn
work of the fire department.

Medicine should not be given to nurs-
ing ewes, as it mostly goes into the
milk, and the young lamb may get too
much of 1t and be lost.
Sheep are tender things, and a very
little exposure to cold or wet, or even
heat, which Is uncomfortable to a
shorn sheep, must be guarded against.
The nursing pens are for weak ewes
or ewes with weak lambs. Many losses
will be prevented in cold weather, or
of weak lambs, by putting the ewes
in these pens, one for each eve.
A w which disowns her lamb per-
s~istently may be confined in a narrow
stall in which she cannot turn around,
and after she has been held a few
times she will become as motherly as
may be wished.
Watch the ewes closely when the
lambs are coming. Some of the mex
perienced young ewes will, as may be
thought viciously, kill their lambs by
puwing them. This is only done in
motherly interest to see the lambs
on their feet. Set such weak lambs
on their feet at once, and the young
eve will be satisfied.
Speaking about crossbreeding, the
Sheep Breeder hasalways upheld both
the theory and practice of one cross
for raising a feeding lamb, but no
more. Experience in indefinite and
promlscuOus cr~ossbreedlng in the West
has not been satisfactory in a single
Instance. but has been well nigh uni
versal in loss of fleece and flock char
acter.
Cuts on a shorn sheep are a very
common source Of serious injury, and
are scarcely to be avoided by even
good hand shearers. The machine
never cuts a sheep, nor does it ever
undercut the fleece. 1t is a very easy
thing to save the cost of a machine in
tine shearing OF quite a small flock. 1t
will pay to have one if only for Il score
of sheep.
There Is no necessity to suddenly In
crease the food of the newly LANDED
eve. The eve has been supporting
the lamb previously and now she is
doing the same, but by milk instead
of by her own blood directly. AS the
lamb grows it will need nm increase of
the ewes food. MIX Increases In a
eve as in a cow, gradually, as the
young animal grows. Thus the in
creose in feed of a eve should be
made only after the lamb is a few
DAYS old, and after this gradually

In the old times Europe did not
mind the riches of America; 1t seemed
to the Old World that our millionaires
came by their wealth in some crude
way which could not possibly lnjure
European industries OF compete with
them. American money enriched inn
keepers and the WORKOUT sons of an
clent and decreplt families, and that
was the end of the matter. Three
years ago it was no more suspected
by the mass of Europeans, especially
of continental Europeans, that we
would soon be competing with their
manufacturers than that we could
knock Cervera's fleet to pieces in a
short run along the southern coast Of
Cuba. There has come a wonderful
change over the dream of Europe. 1t
is clear to the most obtuse now that
the United States is the greatest in
dustrial power In the world, and that
trade and industrial conditions in Eu-
rope must be changed in order to meet
the new giant, observes lIarper's
Weekly.

A writer in Nature, discussing the
rise of the new chemical industry of
producing artificial perfumes, makes
n significant remark concerning the
sense of smell in human beings. He
declares that 1t Is, as yet, wholly I'M
cultured. I'm walking through the
country" he says, 1--WE can rarely
identify a particular odor caught until
the sight of the plant from which it
emanates makes us wonder at our
hesitation" He suggests that the
growth of the perfume industry, which
results in tho continual production Of
new odors, may lead to a cultivation
of the neglected sense of smell, which
may be capable of as artistic develop
ment as that which odor perception
has attained.

Those who are to come after us are
to make as much progress as we have
made, or as those have made who
went before us, and the lines along
which that progress will nov cannot
now be predicted. For this reason,
while it is desirable TO build in a thor
oughly safe manner, and TO guard
against all risks, especially those of
fire, it Is highly questionable whether
it is desirable to construct buildings In
such n solid manne that when a half
century from this time 1t becomes
necessary to either destroy them or
radically alter them, the change will
involve a great and unnecessary a c
rifice to the owner, remarks the Bos-
ton Herald.
