DR.. PROCTOR TALKS
About the Work Being Done BY Boys
Corn Clubs.

While passing through Dallas Fri
day, DR.. w. F. Proctor, U. S. govern
ment agent, was interviewed by the
Dallas News, and, among other things,
said:
The work being done by the de-
partment of agriculture in East Texas
is already beginning to show its re-
suits. We will have many hundred
farmers in East Texas who will make
more than seventy-five bushels of
corn to the acre on the demonstration
plats grown under the supervision of
the agents of the department.
Our boys corn growers clubs are
all interested in the coming state fair,
any many of the organizations in the
eastern part of the state will attend
the fair in a body. Mr.. Acker, who is
the special agent for Smith county, is
making arrangements for special
train from his county for the boys,
and as the railroads are lending their
assistance it is an assured fact that
there will be at least one special train
of corn growers from East Texas.
at is probable that the various
agents of the department of agricul-
ture will have a meeting here during
the fair, as they did last year. l have
been in communication with many of
them and they all seem to favor Dali
las as meeting point and some day
during the fair as the proper time"

an article well worth reading and

NEW YORK's FIGHT.

mo Uncared-for tuberculosis in
New York state in 1915!"
This is the watchward in the cam
paign for the prevention of tubercu-
losis in the state of New York. "No
tuberculosis in 1920" is the hope. How
the people of the Empire state have
rallied for the fight against this dis
ease in almost every city, village and
hamlet in that commonwealth in the
short space of two years is a story
that will doubtless be of interest to
the citizens of every other state in
the union, for the crusade against
consumption is not confined to the
limits of any state or of any nation
In the words of Prof William H.
Welch, of Johns Hopkins University
the leader of scientific medicine in
America. "The people have recogniz-
ed their true foe in tuberculosis and
are stirring to the combat through
out the civilized world" This Is be-
cause enlightened men and women
throughout the civilized world are
beginning to appreciate the full sig
nificance of Pasteur's words, at Is
within the power of man to cause
all germ diseases to disappear from
the earth"
The striking thing about tubercu-
losis is that while scientists have
known for a quarter of a century how
to cope with it-and indeed a few of
our. larger cities have been successful
ly coping with it for the past twenty
years-nevertheless the "civilized
world" has only just begun to stir it.
self to a systematic combat. Already,
however in the way of education
great strides have been made. He
would be held an ignorant person who
should learn now for the first time
that tuberculosis is a communicable,
and therefore a preventable, disease,
and that in most cases, if properly
treated in the early stages, it is cur
able. At least, it is reasonably cer-
tain that there are comparatively few
! people in New York state today who
could not back the book" and recite
for you these essential facts about tu-
berculosis:
tuberculosis Cor consumption
causes more deaths than any other
single disease.
In the civilized world there are not
less than a million deaths each year
or two a minute-whch are due to
! this disease; in the United States this
scourge claims no less than 100000
of our citizens annually, and in the
Empire state we sacrifice to it an av-
erage of 10000 lives each year. or one
every thirty minutes.
One third of all who die between
the ages of fifteen and forty-five. just
at the time when they are repaying to
society their debt for nurture and

that the queue was introduced into

sense of gratitude to the horse, that
animal having played a great part in

"pigtail" was a method of establish

EDISON'S NEW CAR.

Thomas A Edison has perfected his
storage battery electric street car
and if accounts of the same are to be
relied upon it will not be long until
the gasoline motor cars such as the
one now running between Pendleton
and Umatilla will have to go upon
the shelf, being replaced by better
car.
According to a story in the May is
sue of Technical World magazine,
Edison began upon his storage bat
terry car two years ago, just after he
had perfected a storage battery for
use on drays and delivery wagons in
New York City. The car which he
made has been subjected to all sorts
OF arduous use and has been found
complete success.
The storage battery car is cap
able of running one hundred and fifty
miles without recharging at cost Of
ore cent mile, and Of climbing any
ordinary grade" says the Technical
World. 1T saves twenty-five per
cent on the cost Of line construction
for there are no overhead wires, no
poles, no transmission cables and no
track bonding. There is also a ma
terlal saving in the cost Of power
plant, too; for on a trolly line the
power plant must be large enough
10 move the maximum amount Of
traffic, which continues for only a
short time; the rest of the day there
is a large surplus Of power that is
not used. The power station for
charging storage batteries can be run
at its most economical gait every
hour in the twenty-four.
The greatest saving is in the cost
OF operation. The Edison patent
storage battery car weighs only from
one-half to two-thirds as much as the
ordinary trolly car of the same ca
pacity, yet the Edison car is the

dollars per ton per year to run the
average street car on the average
street railroad it may be seen that
this saving is of some consequence"
The Edison car should be especi-
ally valuable for interurban service.
This because the storage battery cars
would do away with the necessity Of
trolly equipment which is an especi-
ally strong item Of expense on inter-
urban roads. Perhaps in a short time
the Edison cars will be in general use
on interurban electric lines and 1t
will not be surprising if they replace
the gasoline cars now being used by
she Hartman system.
