New Form of Bacillus Particularly Ac
tive in Hot Weather Found In
Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo.-A new germ, as
yet unnamed, has just been discovered
in Kansas City. 1t is a hot weather
bacillus and affects young and old
alike, being particularly noxious in
adults, 1t is said, and producing a
chronic. case of what ordinarily is
called the Crouch"
The discoverers of this germ are
Dr. E. l.. Mathis, chief probation off,
Ger, and his assistants, who constant
ly are making study of human ma
ture and, by the way, this particular
bug is one which attacks human ma
ture only
"It is hot weather bug" said Doc
tor Matthias, "and can produce the
worst case of crouch in short time
that you ever saw.
'Just now we juvenile officers have
little to do so far as the Juvenile
court Is concerned, but we are kept
busy as bees looking after what we
call hot weather business.
Somehow or other, this hot wealth
er seems to 'peeve' everybody. 1t
takes the form OF crouch in adults and
the form of what the grown-ups are
pleased to call 'devilment' in, children.
"A man lies down to take nap OF
hot afternoon He is just tuckered
out by the heat, he says. and nap
will straighten him out. Just as he
gets comfortably settled, boys or girls
in the neighborhood begin to romp,
and, of course, they call back and
forth. and the would-be napper is an
noyed.

fad for aviation among American wom
en-. Ever since Clifford B. Harmon took
up in his Farman biplane Mrs. Har
mon, Mrs. William K Vanderbilt and
other women have declared their de
sire for aeroplaning.
1t is announced that three pretty
French women aviators are to follow
to this country shortly after the ar
rival of these small airships. They
Will be costumed as the women avia
tor should be and will be prepared to
demonstrate and instruct American
women in the art of flying.
Yves De Villers, the representative
for the Vendome aeroplane, was al
Mineola, L. l., the other day, and said
that the little monoplanes are being
brought to this country as quickly
as possible. At least one of the three
machines vii be shipped to the avia
ton grounds in Mineola, where it will
make daily flights. 1t is the smallest
one-person fly-about in the world
and weighs 60 pounds less than
the famous Santos-Dumont Demoi
selle.
The Vendome monoplane is the
work of Raoul Vendome, a French
builder of aeroplanes. 1t is equipped
with a 12-horsepower Anzani motor
and complete, ready for flying, weighs
$50 pounds.

Attacks upon children by dogs and
cats are chronicled quite frequently
nowadays, probably because OF neglect
of the animals during the hot weather.
Animals that are extremely thirsty
during the heated term are as apt to
become deranged as men who are sub
jected TO extremes of heat and cold.
All owners of animals should exercise
more than usual care in looking after
their comfort while the weather is un-

TOO MANY ELECTIVE OFFICES.

President Hadley of Yale univer-
sity, in a recent address, maintained
that government has two distinct
problems to deal with-those of the
social order and business administra-
tion. OF these, the general public
should be thoroughly informed with
respect to the former, while with the
latter reliance must be placed largely
on the efficiency and good judgment
of experts.
AS the social order becomes more
complex by reason of the discovery
of new processes and by inventions
which induce changes in standards of
living and cause constant readjust-
ments to be made, it is necessary that
the public give more thought to prob
lens of government if democracy is
to endure.
The most serious dangers which
have appeared in our republic thus
far is the little concern which the
people generally have taken in the
selection of public officials. We have
too many elective public officials with
the result that when election time
comes around, interest centers on the
candidate who is to fill the more con-
spicuous office, while little attention
is paid to the qualifications of can
didates who are to fill the less con-
spicuous but none the less important
Offices.
In the last general election in this
state under the direct primary, pub
lie interest centered almost wholly in
the election of governor and United
States senator, while with respect to
! the state offices aside from that of
the governorship, little was known
respecting the personal qualifications
or the fitness of the candidates for
the positions to which they aspired
with the result that some unfortunate
choices we're made.
The remedy for many of the evils
which have crept into our democracy
is to be found in reducing the mum
Der Of elective officers to the end that
Greater care may be exercised in the
choice, and responsibility for better
administration be definitely fixed. If
This be done the mean which Presi-
lent Hadley suggests may be obtained
when he says:
eff, in the desire to secure efficien-
~, they leave the business Of gov
krnment to the experts, democracy
lies of dry rot. If, in the desire to
maintain the old democratic condi-
lions, they try to do everything them
elves 1T may result in confusion and
ven anarchy"

Sheep Notes.

Ensilage furnishes an excellent food
to be used as a variety for sheep dur
ing the winter months.
Gratifying the appetite adds greatly
to the thrift of the flock.
Once a week is not enough to salt
sheep. Every day is best. Then they
will not eat SO much. and it will act
as a medicine.
Sheep quarters should be-must be-
dry. both summer and winter.
Breeding ewes should be kept In
better flesh than the average farmer
usually keeps them.
Toe nails should not be allowed to
grow too long. Clip them off.

wrangling, friends of Schively won
out and that the old insurance COM
missioner is still in the employ of the
state. This is ancient history that
is mentioned, and, at this time, at
least, all would be willing to forget
the affair and it's results, if not for
give them, were it not for the fact
that the state printer has just issued
volume that calls to the mind the
entire transaction. Presumably the
publication of such volume, leather
bound and containing $50 pages of
close type, is necessary, but it is the
last straw. When the cost of its
printing is added to the cost of the
extra legislative session, the witness
fees and general expenses of the trial,
the whole transaction becomes expen-
sive enough to make the taxpayer
groan. Perhaps it is very important
to have enclosed in durable covers
the various explanations Of why this
senator voted thus, and that one the
other way, but from the taxpayers
point of view this last expense is
much like adding insult to injury.
The public has learned its lesson, that
it needs a stronger string than it now
possesses, on it's legislators and en-
ployes, making entirely useless this
cessfully mboozled.-Everett Her.
