Blame Paralysis
On Buffalo Gnat
Discovery Has Been Made by PhYsi-
clan Of Councils Bluff, Iowa
Appears In June

Many conventions have been
held over the states lately by ply
sicians and the main topic has
been infantile paralysis. Doctors
in Council Bluffs, Iowa, now be-
lieve they have discovered the ori-
gin of the dread disease and will
search for a remedy to eliminate it.
After laboring for weeks, they
unite in announcing that i'll their
opinion, infantile paralysis, that
not only attacks children, but
adults. is produced by small fly
ing insect, known throughout the
west as the buffalo gnat that makes
it's appearance during June and
disappears with the coming of the
first frost in autumn.
The physicians here state in
their report that they will file with
the Iowa state board of health that
the buffalo gnat has an equipment
of appendages corresponding al
most identically to those of the
mosquito that has been charged
with and convicted of carrying
the germs of yellow fever. It is a
blood sucker and they say it is alb
solutely the only winged insect
that will resolutely crawl under the
covers of the couch of it's sleeping
victim, or find the skin Of person
in daylight ty creeping under the
clothing. 1t is as persistent as it
is voracious, and it is almost i'm
possible to keep it out of the Sleep
ing room.
Nature, the physicians here say,
has built the buffalo gnat on the
plan of the comma, so familiar in
punctuation. It has hump on
it's shoulders that it would seem
would keep it out of a we'll SCREEN
ed apartment, but it will easily get
itself through meshes that are on
ly large enough to permit the in
sertion Of an ordinary pin, as there
is hollow under the hump that
permits of the contracting Of the
body when it is crowding itself
through small hole.
The buffalo gnat, the physicians
say, has the short antennae of
hairs characteristic of the yellow
fever mosquito and when placed
under powerful lens, shows a
long, slender two.edged lance, a
small saw and the nose of the di.
sease breeding mosquito. 1t car
ries set of muscles that compress
the glands and squeezes from a
small sack in the head the paraly.
sis germs, injecting them into the
system OF its victim when it with.
draws its sucking apparatus. ~

Get a Hunting License

Not half as many licenses have
been issued this year to hunters as
last year. Hunting will be better
than ever before in this neighbor-
hood but everyone should have
license before starting out.

COUNCIL WILL MEET.
Ratification Of Election or Appoint
nent, of Ellis Tomorrow Night.

The village council of Red Jacket
will hold a special and regular meet
ing tomorrow evening, for the joint
purpose of ratifying the recent cleo
ton for village clerk, or appointing
John j. Ellis. Jr., to the office, which
ever the council may decide TO do, and
also TO accept the final reports of retir-
ing village clerk, Nick +. Kaiser.
President Schumacher stated this
morning that he thought it better TO
hold the special and regular meetings
at one and the same time, because of
the fact that Clerk Kaiser's term of
office expires tomorrow night, and that
from then on all of the books of the
office will be in custody of the newly
chosen clerk.
This act, 1T is contended, will avoid
confusion. Village clerk elect Ellis
takes hold of his new duties tomor-
row morning.

VOTING
CHARGE STANDS
TRAVELLING MEMS CASE COMES
UP AGAIN ON SATURDAY,
CLAIMED ELECTION
WAS ILLEGAL.

The examination Of Harry Rose and
Percy Fitzgerald. travelling men. said
to hail from Cleveland and Mlnneapo-
lis. on the charge OF Illegal voting in
Red Jacket Monday during the spe-
cial election for village clerk. was
continued by Justice Jackola yester-
ing. the defendants being held in
bonds Of $1,000 each, which they fur
nished.
Attorney +. II. OBrien. who repre-
sent the defendants. asked To have
the proceedings quashed on the
grounds that the election was illegal,
because the charter provided that the
council must appoint an official 10 MI
an uneXpired term. and therefore that
rhe election could have been held only
for the purpose of ascertaining the
VIII OF the people in the matter.
Prosecutor Attorney w. j. MacDon-
aid, on behalf OF the people, contend %
I'd that even though the election might
be considered illegal. the defendants
could be adjudged guilty of perjury by
swearing i'm their votes. The entire
matter will be gone into more thor
0ughly at Saturdays hearing.
II is claimed that no matter which
way the case is decided IL will not az
feet Mr.. Ellis right 10 the office be-
cause the action Of the village council
in ratifying the election OF Mr.. Ellis
will be in the nature OF an appoint
ment and the effect will be the same.
The question was advanced that no
special resolution had been made by
the village fathers ordering a
special election, but il was pointed out
that such a resolution appears i'm the
minutes Of the councils meeting
II is likely that an interesting legal
fight will be waged Saturday, and the
result will De awaited with interest by
a large number.

CHILDREN RIDE 70 SCHOOL.
In Rural Districts Of Kansas In Clos
ed and Heated Wagons.


in many sections OF Kansas the
small boys and girls living on the
farms have had to tramp from one TO
three miles through the mud and
snow to school Now the plan OF COM
bining small country districts about
one graded school and providing COM
Portable transportation for the kids is
spreading rapidly.
The consolidated school Is the dis
solution OF two or more districts and
the formation OF a large one with q
graded school in the center. This
makes the transportation problem an
important one, and In all consolidate
ed school districts the tax levy is
made large enough to pay for hauling
the children to school and back home.
A wagon is often purchased by the
district and a contract given to some
farmer to do the hauling.
Sometimes the farmer takes a long
time contract and buys his own wag-
on. II a farmer desires TO haul HIS
own children TO school the district
pays him certain amount for doing
Il, or neIghbors may club together and
turn over this money to one boy who
drives the team each day and takes
care OF It and sees that the children
get to school all right and safely
home. But the most common plan
is the use Of big covered and glass
enclosed wagon with an oil heater In
side.
Figures complied 10y the State SUI
perintendent OF instruction show that
the children do better work In less
time than under the old methods. The
statistics on file in the Office also
show that even with this great haul
ing expense the actual cost 10 the
taxpayers is less In consolidated than
In separate districts Better teach
ers are employed and higher salaries
paid, but there Is larger reduction
In fuel, repairs and maintenance OF
the larger building than IN several
smaller structures.

We'll. had q friend once living in
a little town out West, town that
has since grown big, keeping
store, and there came in to my friend
one day citizen OF the town who
wanted to buy big bill OF goods on
credit, and really my friend was
little in doubt about him; he didn't
know what TO do. But that night
there came along large and bloom
ing snowstorm, regular snortlitino,
and next morning my friend went
down to see what this man had done
about his sidewalk II was clean as
a whistle. He let the man have the
goods and got his money on the dot.
"Of course, in summer in doubtful
cases like that you couldn't have this
snow sign to go by. and then you have.
to look for something else; but In
winter you want to steer clear Of
the man who neglects his sidewalk,
while it's generally safe to trust the
man who keeps his sidewalk clean"
