discussion followed in the course of
which DR.. w. J. Mayo cited over half
as many cases as the German and
larger percentage of successes.
Always Operating.
The doctors are of middle age,
alert and vigorous despite the tre-
mendous amount of work they do.
The operations they perform average
about 10 day. They are thus en-
gagged from $50 a. m. until D. m.
In the absence of one of the brothers
a patient is made ready for operation
on one table while another is under
the knife. One of the brothers,
working alone, has performed as
many as IA operations in a day. Prob
ably they are enabled to accomplish
so much because of the system they
have perfected. They are assisted by
a staff of IA surgeons. bacteriologists
and others. A patient is first exam
ined by members of the staff. The
result is then given to one of the
brothers, who makes final examina-
ton.
At o'clock in the morning the
Mayos visit all the patients at the
hospital. Then comes the long spell
in the operating room. In the after
noon they examine new patients,
make up the calendar of operations
for the ensuing day and conclude with
another tour of the hospital They
abstain rigidly from alcohol and to-
bacco. While their work has brought
great financial returns, they live the
simple life.
With all their success, the Mayos
maintain their old neighborly foot
ing with the townspeople. 1t would
be hard to exaggerate their popular
ity. With newspaper men they main
tain no footing at all. They abhor
publicity. Whatever is learned of
their work must be secured from
others who are familiar with it.

GERMANY Will ENFORCE TARIFF
BOYCOTT AGAINST UNITED STATES

There are 20 articles of which We
dollars worth a year. Raw cotton
is the largest of our exports to that
country, being S109,000,00O a year:
but fortunately that article is not
included in the tariff embargo. But
these articles are: Lard S14,000,000,
corn $1,000, 900. wheat $4,000. 900, iron
and steel manufactures $4,000, 900,
wood manufactures 100000, oil

900, and of provisions, agricultural
implements, ham. bacon and pork,
beef, cotton manufactures and cotton
seed oil. each 100000
The duty last year on wheat sent
into Germany by the United States
was SO cents per 220.4 pounds. Next
year (under the new tariff) it will be
$l.7S per 220.4 pounds. But on wheat
coming into Germany from the seven
other favored countries the duty will
be but $3.50.
1t will be hard for the United
states to try to sell wheat against
handicap like that.
The duty last year on corn sent
into Germany by the United States
was 80 cents per 220.4 pounds. Un-
der the new tariff that weight of
corn will pay duty of $1.l9. But
the specially favored European ma
tons will pay but II cents duty.
Apples now go from the United
States into Germany free of duty.
The new act provides tariff of $3.50
per 220.4 pounds. But the other ma
tons will pay but half that duty.
On sewing machines the duty is
raised against the United States from
$571 to $3.50. while to other coun-
tries it is s2.S5,
On fresh beef the present duty is
$l62 per hundred pounds; under the
new tariff it is to be $4.S7 per hun
dred; but to the other nations only
$292. on flour it is raised from
81 So a barrel to 81; and to other ma
tons $217. ON boots am shoes 1t is
raised from s5.ii per hundred pounds
to 1919 and upward for the United
States, while other nations pay So.

ordinations against the products OF

E AND FOUND BARBEAU

Baseball players have been discov-
cred in every conceivable manner.
Ted Sullivan, the National League
scout, carries the palm for numerical
superiority, but Vice President John
Peirano of the Columbus american
Association Baseball company Jugs
around the honors for the unique
cause:
It's hay fever.
/ Peirano is a sufferer from the
snaeze- ia t-and-furious habit, and
his kerchews took him from the Ohio
capital to Sault Ste Marie, Mich,
during the hot months last season.
Now had Peirano not suffered from
H. F., he would not have gone to
S. S. M. Had he not gone to S. S.
NJ. he would not have seen the teams
of the Copper Country league play
ball
But all of these things were to be
and the result was that William
Joseph Barbeau is electrifying the
crowds at Neil park and in seven
other American Association cities by
his playing.
Barbeaus work with the Copper
Country league impressed Peirano
and he signed him for this season.
Barbeau was a shortstop when sign
ed, and had no chance to show what
he could do in the position in the A.
A. league, Bill Friel, the Senator's
third baseman being injured, necessi-
tating filling his place.
From the outset Barbeau's work at
third base was the sensation of the
association. Few youngsters in the
past have been able to leave the bush
leagues and make good right off the
reel in company as fast as that in the

GAMBLING STOPS
AT WALLA WALLA

WALLA WALLA, Wash. Aug. t.
The expected order to close down all
gambling in Walla Walla came Fri
day night when Chief of Police
Brown personally visited every place
where gambling was being carried on
and notified the proprietors of the
games to close up. Chief Brown acted
on explicit instructions from Mayor
Hunt and Councilmen Bachtold and
Martin, two members of the commit
tee on police.
AS soon as the orders were given
every game was shut down and the
paraphernalia was packed up and
moved out of sight. Many of the
gamblers said they recognized the
jig" was up and took the matter
philosophically.
AS far as known there was not a
game running in Walla Walla last
night. nor will there be unless orders
are given to raise the lid"

HIGH SCHOOL
TEACHERS Wanted

MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. There
will be a scarcity of high school
teachers throughout Minnesota this
year if the reports of the city super
intendents who are securing the Twin
Cities for material are true.
During the session of the summer
school at the university scores of SUI
perintendents and school board di-
rectors were on the scene trying to
pick up available material.
These men make their headquarters
on the East Side and stay there until
they land something.
Most of them report that there is
plenty of material but that the wages
they offer are so small that it is hard
to find young men and women who
have completed college courses at
great expense to accept the position.

gary and Russia will remain prac-

This is the result of the course

In the matter of reciprocity treaties
The treaty which was negotiated with
Germany went the way of the other

Aldrich, Hale and the little coterie of
New Englanders representing factory
constituencies feared that there

with their factory made goods, so
they pigeon-holed the treaties, and
refused to ratify them.

A Gordon" is the name applied to
line of armed guards drawn up
about a city or town during yellow
fever times to keep people from 60
ing out or coming in. New Orleans
has not taken advantage of shot
gun quarantine for many years. but
the smaller towns in the rural sec
tions still use them. Monroe, La,
has one now, and only few days
ago a man who tried to break through
to get to his family was Jailed and
fined 500, fumigated and detained
In many of the towns the quarantine
is against the entire outside world
and not a living soul is allowed to
enter or leave regardless of where he
came from. Canton, Miss, has such
a quarantine at this time.
Shotgun quarantine guards as a
rule serves watches of six hours.
Every citizen is impressed into this
service Even military penalty for
sleeping at the post has been known
to be enforced. There have also been
instances of people being shot in an
attempt to balk the quarantine, but
the risk is so great that it is seldom
taken.

spot beyond the guard lines, where 1t
is fumigated before being allowed to
be brought in by the guards them
selves. Not even a dress pattern
can be taken into a Mississippi town
from New Orleans at this time with
out being first held up and fumigated.
Shotgun guarantees in many places
are so effectual that even freight and
passenger trains are not allowed to
stop. Armed guards are placed along
the depot platforms in the towns to
see that the windows of through pass
enger trains are kept closed One of
them left open upon any train pass
ing through the station is quite like
ly to be the reason for load or
buckshot being fired into that partic"
ular car window.
The L. q N. trains now in pass
ing through Mississippi only carry
through passengers, and these are
locked into the cars before leaving
New Orleans, along with armed
guards. Electric fans have been put
in that passengers may have cooler
air to breathe.
In Baton Rouge, in 1897, even the
ministers and the editors of the news
papers were pressed into the shotgun
quarantine guard service. Any man
refusing to serve, regardless of his
station or excuse, was promptly
hustled off to jail and kept there un-
til he changed his mind.
One does not feel at all comfort
able in travelling through a commune
ity in a train with the doors and
windows locked, and seeing at every
passing station ng-mustached men
armed with big shot-guns, hands on
the trigger, cycling you as suspicious
ly as if you were desperate. At
but few towns in Mississippi at this
time will merchandise be received
from New Orleans. An armed guard
met one of the Imperial line OF
steamboats, at Natchez the other day
and told the captain he would have
to return to New Orleans, as he would
not be allowed to touch shore, let
alone unload.
AS the yellow fever this year
started among the Italians in the
foreign settlement of New Orleans,
an Italian showing up in a country
town now has a narrow chance of es-
Gaping even with his life. if he proves
to have come from New Orleans.
Some of the towns really wish to
keep open to New Orleans, and have
! protested to the authorities because
= of the quarantine regulations. Pro-
| tests of this sort have been made by
| the health resort towns on the Mis-
sissippi sound, which are almost, en-
tirely supported by summer residents
| from New Orleans. Many hotel man
ayers in these towns have been finan-
cially ruined.

RUSSIA'S WHEAT
CROP IN DANGER

ST. PAUL. Aug. From an au-
thentic source it is reported that
owing to lack of transportation and
storage facilities in Russia the grain
shipping situation is in a precarious
condition. This spring transporta-
ton at st. Petersburg was blocked.
At all times tens of thousands of
cars were at standstill. Recently
a large number of cars were received
at st. Petersburg in fermented con-
dition and were condemned to be
burned. This blockade not only af-
fects the grain now in storage and
in transportation, whereby thousands
of carloads will be lost, but the
safety of the present crop is also
jeopardized, as the outlook at pres
ent is that the way can not be clear
ed to handle the new crop.
