made the greatest advance toward be-
coming a model public school This
prize has been awarded to the Buck

CURE FOR |NEAN,
TILE PARALYSIS
Iowa. Physicians Have. Discov,
cred Origin and Cause and
Think They Will Cure.

Physicians at Council Bluffs, Iowa,
are thoroughly convinced that they
have discovered the origin and cause
of infantile paralysis that has reached
the contagion state in so many local
lilies and frequently resulting in death.
Now feeling that they have gained an
important point, they will search for
a remedy to eliminate the disease.
After laborings for weeks, theylunite
in announcing that in their opinion in
fantile paralysis, >thatnotonly attacks
children, but adults, is productivity a
small flying insect, known throughout
the west as the buffalo gnat: that makes
its appearance during June and disap-
pears with the coming of the first aut-
umn frost.
The physicians there 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 almost identicallyy to
those Of the mosquito that has been
charged with and convicted of carry
ing the germs Of yellow fever. 1t is q
blood sucker and they say it is abso-
lutely the only winged insect that will

Experiments made last year on the

possibility Of employing peat as a fuel
for locomotives of various types have
not given the results which were

peat, unless this is mixed with, a large

the rigidly moral man forgets his
mask and his code and takes a plunge

Three Families to Each Farm.

AA4VC L 0x1xxXxVo " xSC1~A Il al III
Three families to each farm is the
case in the United States today. One
on the farm and two in town, but all
dependent on the farm. Two gener-
ations ago nearly everybody lived O.
the land and it was the lookout of
each family how they worked the land.
Now with two-thirds of the people in
town, it not only concerns the a On
the farm whether the crop is good or
not but also the man in town who is
dependent on the produce of his land
for his living. Whether the crop, be
poorsorsgood really affects the city
man more than it does the farmer who
can keep. out enough for himself. If
there is no surplus it is not hard to
see who will suffer most.
AS industry develops we get more
and more dependent on each other.
The farmer, however, remains the
most independent, and again.the way
he carriessonshis work;is of the most
vital Importance to us all. The soil
is the source of everything that calls
forth the efforts of industry. The peo-
pie who till the soil have charge of the
source of supply and the rest have to
60 accordingly. Do we want more to
do with; then the farmer must pro-
duce more. To dothath he must have
more knowledge and skill in, his work.
AS long as the land was virgin it
would produce with any kind of hus-
banding. Much of the farming is
|hardly.on a permanent basis yet: wit
ness the abandoned.f farms in the east,
the decreasing land values in The state
| of New Yorksin the face of increasing
markets.
AS long as the farmer can only make
the soil produce one-third of what it is
capable, SO long must our manufac.
turing, transportation, merchandising
and banking remain at approximately
onc-third of what it could be-, and
largely for lack of special training for
his work or the part of the farmer.
| Who is most interested in the mar
who tills the soil being trained for his
work? Without a doubt it is the mar
in, the city. He is the one who should
be the most insistent on agriculture
being taught in. the public schools,
anl that the Agricultural Colleges be
given liberal support. The railroads
are doing a great deal in encouraging
the teaching of agriculture. Many
have placed trains at the services Of
the Agricultural Colleges hat they
might equip it with apparatus, appli.
ances and instructors and thus carry
the teachings of better farming to a
great many people in a1short time
Bankers are also active in encourag-
ing the spread of. better farming.
There r nos more northwestern
states to open up so that the only way
to, make any material increase in pro
duction is by making each acre, now
under cultivation, produce more
