The Flea a Dangerous Enemy.

The principal Indictment against the
flea is that it is the partner of the rat
In the propagation of the bubonic
plague, and is, indeed the more guilty
of the two. 1t is perfectly well estab-
lished that the bacillus Of the plague
exists in rats of a certain breed. These
rats are infested with heas which by
their biting transfer the disease germs
to other rats. When the rats die the
fieas desert their bodies for other rats
or for human beings. So heas are the
essential factors in conveying the
plague virus to men, and it is possible
that they convey it from one man to

ure, said the genial man, Just set

chicken raisers Their conversation
is a study in brotherly love. More
than any other set OF people they are
willing, even anxious, to help each
other. Professional men and men en-.

helpfulness. Each man keeps his
secrets of success to himself Now
and then one may drop a hint that
may by chance prove valuable to his
hearers, but he doesn't mean to do
even that, because the rule is for
each to work out his own salvation.
Amateur chicken raisers, on the
other hand, are inspiring examples of
altruisn. When one discovers a new
cure for the pip he hastens to spread
the information among his friends and
neighbors who are also wrestling with
the pip proposition. If another man
hits upon a new idea in feeding or

his brother chicken raisers a chance

Des Moines.-Upon a showing ina.
little Kenneth Reeves aged 10, struck
the blow which indirectly resulted in
the death of Cecil Jenkins only after
young jenkins had first struck him.
Judge McHenry ordered Kenneth re
leased
Il shall place the case before the
grand jury next fall, but in the mean
time this boy is remanded only tic

court.
In addition to the evidence of self.
defense, the testimony showed that
death probably was not caused by
the blow from the mopstick, but from
the fall upon the brick sidewalk. 1t
was also shown that Cecil had beaten
Kenneth once on their way home
from school.
In rendering his decision Judge Nc
Henry said:
1T is the nature of every true
American boy to strike back when
he is struck first. l cannot say that

Mere Boy Dies A Drunkard,

Dike.-Earl Jackson, but little more
than boy, believed that he knew when
to stop drinking once upon a time.
He has stopped, but it is because he
died prematurely of acute alcoholism.
Young Jackson began drinking when
a mere boy. He soon became dis
sipated, but later braced up and by
dint of hard effort fought his ap-
petite for several years. Some time
ago, however, drinking youns men
around town tempted young Jackson
and he yielded.

WINS PORTLAND GAME
Dallas College Defeats East Side
Basketball Team by Score of
33 to IA.

Dallas College added another sprig
to her laurel wreath when the Winged
DIS" defeated the East Side Athletic
Club in Portland, Wednesday night,
bya score of 33 to IA.
Although the more incurable fana-
tics on the basketball question sat up
until nearly midnight waiting for the
report Of the game, little more than the
score could be learned. and an eager
crowd awaited the home coming of the
victorious team on the Thursday
morning train. The majority of the
Dallas aggregation had stayed in
Portland however, and the two who did
return were fairly overwhelmed by the
storm Of questions that greeted them.
From their answers it was learned
that the game, although extremely
rough, was comparatively easy vic
tory for Dallas. Shaw starred for
Dallas with record Of field goals to
his credit, and all the other members
ofthe team played clean and error
less game. Teats, Of Dallas, acted as
referee and Professor Rtngler, of the
Club, as umpire. One of the amusing
things about the game, was the fact
thatthe Dallas supporters who accom-
panied the team, although inferior to
the Portland delegation in numbers,
did three-fourths of the yelling, and,
fguratively speaking, fairly "rooted
their opponents off the earth"

RETIRES FROM BUSINESS
Ed BlddIe Leases Dallas Foundry to
d. S. Harris and Henry
Stump.

After 20.years' business career in
Dallas, Ed. Biddle has leased the
Dallas foundry and iron works to
D. s. Harris and Henry Stump, two
young men formerly in his employ.
The lessees took charge Of the business
Wednesday morning. Their lease is
for term of one year, with the option
of purchasing at the expiration of that
time.
From a small beginning 20 years
ago, the Dallas foundry has grown
until it ranks as one of the important
Industries of Polk county. The plant
is modern in every particular, and the
output is shipped to all parts of West
ern Oregon. Mr.. Biddle, the retiring
manager has worked at the machin-
lists trade for As years, and thoroughly
understands every detail Of the busi-
ness. Having acquired competence,
he now purposes to take life easier.
His many friends predict, however,
that having worked so long at the
trade, he will find it difficult to break
away from it; in fact, the ''old man"
himself furnishes good grounds for
this belief by announcing that he will
''hang around the place, just to help
the boys out if they get in a tight
place."
