It is in the building of small mills for

state continues to lead the south.

THE HEAT CONTINUES
Still Dry and Hot in the Corn Belt.
Water Becoming scarce

Washington. July 25.-Weather bu-
reau's official reports show that the
corn belt region continues hot and dry,
with no prospects of immediate change
in these conditions. Showers have fall
en- in the northern half of the corn belt
area since last night, including east
ern Nebraska, Iowa, northern Illinois,
northern indiana and ohio. Most of
these rains, which generally were light
in amount, fell last night. Today there
We're some light rain falls in western
Nebraska and Oklahoma.
These slight precipitations, however,
the forecast officials say, are not always
conducive to the best results to the
growing crops, as they are mostly thun-
der showers, Immediately followed by
a hot sun.
Showers, it is said, possibly may
occur in the drought stricken region to-
morrow, as they usually are insepara-
BILE from ~visitations Of intense heat,
but no general occurrence of them is
f~orecasted.
Temperatures in the corn belt, while
a few degrees lower today than yes

Kansas and Missouri, the latter partic-
ularlv. are greatly in need of rain, the
other states of the corn. belt, including
Iowa, Nebraska and norther Illinois,
having had some rainfall, though gen.
orally very light in amount.
Topeka, Kans., July 25.-The temper
atures were not quite so high in Kan
sas today, averaging about 100 for the
entire state. However. not the least
relief has been experienced from the
drouth. The atmosphere has been very
humid n numerous prostraJlons are
reported from various parts Of the
state. The corn crop is in worse con
dition thar ever. Now thai the corn
crop is blasted. the people Of the state
have stopped considering that part of
the drouth situation. but are deyoting
their attention to obtaining water to
drink. Some towns are in sore straits.
A week ago they reported scarcity OF
stock water. Now some report tina
their supply of drinking water is al
most exhausted. Streams. ponds and
wells are going dry.

DIR. Koch TO THE 'FRONT.'.

Many years ago, it viii be recalled.
DIR. Robert Koch, a distinguished Ger
man doctor, was credited with having
discovered a consumption serum. At
ter awhile it va r~epudiated, and it
passed into "~innocuous desuetude." But
1t is now known hat it has not died
out but has increased in favor among
doctors in his own country, and per-
haps in other countries. He has dis
covered in cholera a new rem
edy, it is said. He visited India
and South Africa. What the doctors
will think Of his new cholera germ
theory remains to be tested. He
has furthermore discovered how
to treat rinderpest in cattle and
malaria among humans. DR.. Koch has
made "indisputable tests and says:
Human and bovine tuberculosis are
Of a totally different species. Human
tuberculin is incapable Of incubation
in the animal system. ~Far-reaching
precautions as 10 infected cattle may
be abandoned. The very general fear
of contact with tuberculosis flesh or
fluid is an unnecessary and u~nfounded
far
This opposes all supposed science
orerturns the theory and practice OF
doctors and sets at naught all expert
ence. The Baltimore Sun commenting
on the German scientists new theory,
says:
IF DIR. Koch's conclusions are dem
onstrated to be sound the public and
the scientists lave been the victims OF
a delusion and the worlds sanitary
systems. so far as they relate TO tub
e~rculosis in animals, are upon
error. The milk of tuberculosis cattle
will not produce disease. That is what
DR.. Koch's discovery means. All the
precautions that have been taken to
prevent infection from tuberculosis an
imals may now be abandoned; all fear
OF disease from his source is unnecS-
sary and unfounded. AS. DR.. Allen +.
Haight, of Chicago, the representative
Of the American Medical Association at
the International Congress on Tuber-
culosis. pithily says: IF DIR. Koch is
able to prove his claims, h sanitary
systems of the world will be shaken
to the very roots"
Science is progressive. Some people
are slow of belief. There are doctors
living now who oppose vaccination and
Others who hold on to exploded theo-
ries. DR.. Koch may do much good for
the world yet by his Investigations as

TIE PENSION

Talk about pensions there is a great
American craze on that subject. We
saw some statistics recently we pur-

out. They showed what were the num-
Der of dead pensioners for 1900, and
how the republicans had actually add
ed more chan had died although the
war ended more than thirty-six years
ago. The raidc is about the steepest
rascality of our country. And now the
additions by the recent Spanish war
have already reached the very astound-
ing figures. 1910. The Chicago Re-
cord-Herald, republican. sees the
wrong here and says:
1.-The total number of men engaged
for service during the struggle was
only 274,717, which is six times the
number of applications. Moreover, the
greater part Of these men never ser
foot outside the United States. and the
armies employed in Cuba and Porto

INCREASE IN TAX RETURNS.

In the north it is known that in all OF
perty owned by wealthy people that is
never given in and is never taxed.
The honest poorer classes bear the
great burdens. Chicago is now hard
UP for money to meet ordinary every
day expenditures. 1t is stated by ex-
Governor AltSeld who publishes a list.
that there are wealthy people there
who are taxed on personality amount
ing to about $500, 900, but whom he in
sists if justice were done should be as
sessed for s34. 900, 900. Major Tom John
son has shown similar discrepancy in
the assessment of property Of cOrpor-
ations in The city of Cleveland. 1t Is
a fact hat in Philadelphia, New York
and elsewhere there are millions of
property IN each city hat fail to be
taxed at all.
We notice hat in several North Car
DINA towns and counties there is re-
ported considerable increase in proper
ty returned for taxation over the e
1900. In Wadesboro township, the In
t~elligencer says, there is an increase of
Sis, 900, and in the county S210, 900.
Granville shows an increase of over
$1,000 0 Other towns have reported in
