THE RAINS OF LAST WEEK
ICedar Rapids Republicanl

During the past week nearly five
inches of rain fell in Cedar Rapids.
Assuming that that is the average for
Linn county, do you realize what II
means? 1t means over 100000 gal
Ions Of water, weighing 446,00,000
pounds or 375.060 tons. In other words
1T would have employed $4,000 teams
with wagons. each hauling one ton of
water to distribute that over Linn
county. Multiply this by ninety-ni
and you have the totals for the state.
Or, if that water was pumped to Linn
county, think of the labor involved.
The water came from the Gulf Of Mex
leo. To get it up here 1t would have
to be lifted 700 feet in the air and then
it would flow by gravity to the lands
of this county. The air and the wind
raised that 375,0 900 tons 700 feet in the
air and brought 1t here, a thousand or
more miles inland.
This gives one a faint idea OF the
stupendous work of nature.
One might figure that water con-
verted into grass and corn and pota-
toes and the lesser growths of Linn
county And then he might figure that
grass and corn converted into beef and
pork and that, in its turn, into dollars.
A million dollars, or more, the rains
mean to Linn county.
Or, take the opposite view. Sup
pose there had been no rain. During
the dry month of July and half way in
to August there were cattle that lost
100 pounds in weight. They were prime
steers, too, worth IS to SO per hundred.
Every steer in this part Of Iowa, in
stead Of making gains, lost S. to So
worth of beef and fat. They will be
able to put that back now, and more.
too. before the snow flies.
And so we may speak of the rains in
Linn county as being worth million
dollars.
That will buy some automobiles-and
better still, start some new bank ac-
counts.

If yau have any patches Of quack
grass in your fields. don't run the har-

patches are not too large and this will
smother it out. In hot, dry weather. It
quack grass roots are dug with a fork

QUARANTINE FOR TUBERCULOSIS
MASON City Times1


The repeated urging and warnings
from health authorities and medical
profession as to the danger of infection
from expectorations from tubercular
patients has not served to lessen in any
great measure the menace. There is
also great danger from the public
drinking cup, public eating houses
where tubercular infected are unknow-
ingly employed.
The carelessness on the part OF the
infected nearly approaches the crimi-
nal. Splitting upon the streets seems
impossible to control or stop. Very few
of the infected are protecting others
from infection and the health authori-
ties the country over are aghast at the
seeming lack of interest in the propa-
ganda TO stamp out the disease.
A movement is now being inaugur-
ated to include tuberculosis in the
list of diseases to be guaranteed, and
in that way seek if possible to prevent
its continued spread among those not
now infected. Segregation by author
ity and direction Of the law seems now
the only recourse to protect the health
of the nation.'d This Will of course be a
last resort remedy in the effort to
compel precaution on the part of those
infected.

Conditions have changed since then

The old master knew and taught

expected to know and teach. He knew
nothing and cared less about child ma

processes happened to run counter to

doesn't hold the little ones to too strict

these things and many more the mod

and profit by in her daily work. With
them goes a personality that is most

she is the upbuilder of the character Of
the Americans Of the future. In no

the country in her small shapely hands.
