CHOLERA IN EUROPE
Abatement of Old-time Horror of 1t Due
to Modern Measures

From the Lancet.
1t is somewhat remarkable circum-
stance that the public mind in this coun-
try seems so little disturbed nowadays
by the appearance of cholera in Europe,
and that even the landing of an occa-
slonal shipborne case at one Of our ports
gives rise to no alarm. Our readers are
doubtless aware that 1t was not ever
thus, and that in days not so long dis
tant the British ratepayer had as much
reason for anxiety as many of the con-
tfnental contemporaries. Indeed our fore
fathers would have read with fear and
anxiety even such a communication as
we publish from the British delegate on
the Constantinople board of health, CIV
Ing an account of the spread of cholera
in Europe In 1909. 1t appears from this
report that cholera has been epidemic
in European Russia during each of the
last three years, and that the outbreak
In 1909 was of considerable dimensions
From Russia cholera was conveyed by
rail across the German frontier into
East Prussia, as also down the River
Mcneil into the same province. Owing
to the excellent measures in force In
Germany the disease In no case spread
after 1t had been detected. From st.
Petersburg and from certain Baltic ports
was CdIIleu VII DOdTQ SLIPS TO
various European countries, but, as in
Germany, the measures applied at Swed-
ish, Norwegian, Danish and English
ports prevented any spread from the i'm
ported cases. In Holland however, a
sharp outbreak of cholera occurred at
Rotterdam in the autumn, the infection
having been carried there from Russia
on shipboard scattered cases, owing
their origin to Rotterdam were also OBJ
served along some of the Dutch water
ways, and just across the Belgium 'front.'
Ter two groups of cases were also no.
ticed. This is practically all the cholera
that occurred in Europe during 1909 With
the exception of Russia, which is noto-
rionsly aoging behind in sanitary mat
tiers, particularly in neglecting protec-
ton OF It's water supplies, none of the
other European nations found much diff
flculty In dealing with imported cholera.
1t Is we'll to bear In mind that the meth
DDS now employed by the most enlight-
ened nations are those for which Eng
land has striven for many years and
which she endeavored to induce success
I've International congresses to accept.
For a long time the other powers re-
jected these methods as being inadequate.
and 1t was commended that only sea-
sirt land like Britain could run the risk
of employing them. With the advance of
knowledge and accumulation of experi-
ence continental opinion has come round
to England's way OF dealing with cholera.

Freaks OF Lightning

From the London Chronicle.
DR.. Brewer should have advised those
who are nervous In thunderstorm to go
not merely to bed. but to sleep. There is
a popular tradition that lightning will not
kill any one who is asleep.
The folk lore of lightning Is extensive
and peculiar. According to one school.
the splinters of a tree struck by light
ming are an infallible specific for the
toothache.
But the most pleasing superstition IL
that which used to be cherihed by the
boys of the Yorkshire village who be-
lieved that II they mentioned the light
ming Immediately after flash the seat
of their trousers would be torn out. No
boy could be induced to meke the exper-
iment.

TuIia Loses TO Canyon

Last Saturday afternoon at
Tulia, the Canyon High School
team defeated the Tulia High
School in game of baseball that
looked as though Canyon would
receive the goose egg" until the
seventh and eighth innings when
business picked up for the local
team and at the end stood ) and
Pin favor of Canyon. The game
was full of interest from begin
ming to end and both teams made
a creditable showing for the
amount of practice they have had.
The real fireworks started in
the last half of the eighth when
Tulia went up in the air. Gober
got fly to the left field, which
was taken in easily, Scott walked
Livingston, hitting him on the
foot, Shotwell singled between
short and third and Anderson
got long two-bagger to left
field scoring Livingston and
Shotwell. On general punk
playing of Tulia, Anderson scor
ed. Prichard, the next man up,
lost the ball in the field for a
three bagger and, catching Scott
asleep, stole home before the
next man sawed.
The trip was marked by the
gentlemanly and courteous treat
ment given by the Tulia aggre-
CATION and the boys report a de-
lightful trip. Canyon is trying
to get games with teams near
here and will prabably play Am
arillo in a short time.
The game in brief: Batteries,
Tulia, Scott and Mcclure, Can
yon, PIichard and Key; Hits,
Tulia 2, Canyon 9; Strike outs,
by Prichard IA, by Scott 1S;
Umpire, Dye.

the people look a little out they
will be going to bed supperless
in the matter of twenty years or
so.
Up in the Panhandle and
Staked Plains countries they
are doing some work that may
make James j. poor prophet.
The world uses several loaves
of bread daily and the number is
constantly increasing. The Pan
handle farmers are preparing to
take care of the increase.
They do things on a big scale
up in the Panhandle. With
county after county there con-
tanning anywhere from 500,000
acres to 100000, with from 500
to $4,000 under cultivation, they
have chances to do big things.
They figure that they can sup
ply -four for biscuits for a plum
whole lot of folks" as one of the
natives expressed it. In ad
ditiOn to the flour for the biscuit,
they say they can raise fruit for
jelly to spread the fluffy rolls.
For years and years there ex-
listed a prejudice against west
Texas. This was due in part to
the local pride of the residents
of the eastern section of the
state, but more to the self in
terest of the cattlemen. They
didn't want farmers from the
effete East coming in and build
ing fences and restricting their
grazing lands. AS first, logi
cal and effective method of keep
ing out the undesirable immi
grants they hit upon the plan of
knocking the country-to out
siders. According to their ver-
sion the land was good for moth
ing, save grass. The seven years
famine of Egypt was nothing
compared to what would happen
to any farmer who attempted to
dig a living out of the ground up
there, according to their story.
And when these arguments
would lack force they had more
potent persuaders which they
would use.
Anyway, they let the impres-
sion go forth that drouth, starva
tion and the Staked Plains were
synonomous terms.
But the cowmen were not the
the first knockers of this land.
In Hakluyt's Voyages" pub
lished in 1900, there is an ac
count of the country almost as
the tales of the cattlemen were
wont to tell. The chronicler
says: Many of the people sought
to ohave dwelt there, but COrondo
would not consent, saying they
could not maintain, nor defend
themselves in so poor country
and so far from succOr."
Fancy the reception the author
of such literature would get from
the real estate agents of that
country now if he would venture
up there.
But this conception of the
country, wrong as it may be, is
not at great variance with ideas
entertained by a great many
many people today. 1t is al
most as hard for a country to
live down an unSavory reputa-
ton as it is for a women. The
Plains country has found this so.
For twenty years now they have
been raising wheat up there.
Each year the acreage has in
creased slightly. Railroads
have been built, towns have
sprung up in a night, but the
farmers and the residents of the
towns are striving to correct
these impressions. They are
doing this by raising wheat.
