Shakespeare Sermons End

With this issue we are Publishing the
last of the Sermons from Shakespeare
delivered by Rev. Waller of the Meth
odist Church. These sermons have
been both entertaining and instructive
and have been nicely appreciated by
those who have been hearing them at
the church on Sunday evenings and by
those who have been reading them in
the paper. We have heard many
favorable comments on those sermons
SO much so that instead of simply COM
menting on one as we originally in
tended to do we have followed up the
eneire series and regret that there are
to be no more. These sermons have
been enjoyed to such an extent that on
last Sunday night the church was filled
with an appreciative audience. A pas
tor who can hold large audience on a
hot summer night is certainly to be
congratulated.

The Wheat on The Dry Lands

There is but one thing the dry land
homesteader who has lost his spring
seeding can do and this is to try again
if he has the courage to stay with the
game. He can disc the land now, sum-
mer fallow and make good seed bed
for sowing wheat in the early fall. In
most cases the sod will not bear
plowing again, because the moisture
has not heen sufficient to rot it. The
ground is very dry, but it cannot be
otherwise in dry farming when it gets
so little rain. We counsel against seed
ing before September 1st. becouse if
the young and tender plants should
come up the hot sun and wintering
wind would kill them. In September
it is cooler and there is a chance for
the plants to live and if the seed is put
down three or four inches the plants
will have good footing.
Sometimes the ground remanr so dry
that the wheat sown after the Septem-
ber equinox does not come up until the
following spring and we saw plenty of
instances of this kind the past winter.
Fall grain which does not germinate
until spring is never at its best in re-
turning a big yield. When the
seasons favorable and the farmer has
moist ground in which to put his seed,
early September sowing is alright be-
cause it gives the plants chance to
stool and get good hold SO that they
will start early in the spring. Turkey
red winter wheat is not always sure
crop but it is probably the best variety
to depend upon one season with anoth-

The past spring early sown Defiance
wheat in some instances forged ahead
of the winter crop and it always out

it would be well for the dry land man
to SOW what land he has plowed to

Splitting in Public Is Very Unhealthy

Recently the leading physicians of
the u. s. met in convention and one Of
the main topics of discussion was the
methods of stamping out the Grim Dis
troyer tuberculosis.
All sorts of organizations are spending
many thousands of dollars annually
caring for patients who have this de-
sease. Columns are printed in our pa
pers and magazines relative to the
caring for and prevention of the di.
sease.
Nearly every Incorporated town and
city have ordinances prohibiting ex-
pectorating in public places.
Public Drinking Cups have been
abolished by law in manv of our States.
Our recent legislature passed very
rigid law in regard to those afflicted
with the disease registering at ho-
tel. A law so rigid that Gov. Shafroth
vetoed the same and yet the majority
of us go on expectorating in public.
If there is law against splitting on
the sidewalk we calmly step to the
curb and spit in the gutter.
Possible you have not the decease but
you are setting bad habit to say the
least. If we would all appoint ourselves
a committee of one to stamp out con-
sumption by ourselves refraining to
expectorate where the sputum could
dry and be carried in the air it would
go a long ways toward decreasing con-
sumption and kindred Diseases.
The following from the Denver Re-
publican is pertinent to this question.
Excrement of any nature deposited
upon the earth usually dries, becomes
pulverized, and later IS lifted into the
air. After longer period the air be-
comes actually laden with microbes.
VIM. P. Sedwick, PHI. D. prof. of
Biology in the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, detected in 10 quarts
of air, 100000 micro organisms. The
so-called atmospheric crisis" with
which the civilization is threatened, is
due in part to the filthy habit Of split
ing IN pubic places.
Splitting in public places is not only
specific nuisance, but is the source
of much harm in the spreading of dis
sease. Perhaps the most frequent
cause of infection with tuberculosis
(consumption) results from careless
disposition of sputum laden with the
germs of this disease. The bacilli of
tuberculosis can be found in tremend-
GUS numbers in the lungs affected with
consumption,
1t has been estimated that as many
as 1000, 600, 900 bacilli are sometimes
expectorated in "a hours by one activ-
ly affected with pulmonary tuberculo-
sis. The manner in which the infec-
tion from man to man most readily oc-
ours is through the inhalation of air la
den with tubercle bacilli. For example
should tuberculosis patient expector-
ate on q floor, wall, walk, street. play
ground or anywhere where the sputum
has a chance to dry and become pulver-
lied, it is sure to be lifted into the air,
and float in the dust of the air: and
/ anyone predisposed to tuberculosis, is
likely on breathing in this air, to be-
come infected with consumption. This
is also tribe with la grippe, pneumonia
and etc.
The so-called ''droplet infection" is
another way tuberculosis is Transmitted
from man to man. Some tuberculosis
patents are careful as to the proper
disposition of the expectoration ordin-
arily, but the droplets Of sputum ex-

And sighs contentment ere his

pIoyed in the Office several weeks. The

ported the grand jury will bring in mum.
erous indictments, involving gambling
house proprietors and others.
Shields offense is said to have been
committed months ago. 1t was hushed
up at the time, because OF kindly feel
ings for him. 1t is now hinted that

and that il resorted to the indictment
TO get hold Of him. 1t is said that he
left the city several weeks ago and is
now in far southern stale. He is q
