Student trooper and gentleman

His the ear when the saber rings
Hero shades Of the old days melt

Hand that's moulded TO hlt Of sword;
Heart that ever has laughed at fear;
Type and pattern Of civic pride;
Wit and grace OF the cavalier;
All that his fathers prayed and felt

The lingon berry blossoms were out
in fine shape the first of July, and the
prospects are, that the berries will be
ripe for picking N the latter part of
August, which is the usual time for

dealers are endeavoring to induce the
berry pickers to do the work sys-
tematically SO as to obtain the best
results. Smaland, Varmland, and Da-
'arne are the leading lingon districts,
but Sodermanland is also crowding
TO the front as an exporter.
J. G. Smith, an old man living at
Hagalund, near Stockholm, lost track
Of his relatives, and the matter was
OF sufficient interest to be mentioned
In the Swedish press. Afterwards it
received attention in Swedish-Amer-
lean newspapers, and this led to graft
flying results. The old man received a
letter with sum of money from a
son who is living at Pittsburg, Pa,
but who thought his father was dead.
The same letter also contained the
names and addresses of other rela-
tives living in the very neighborhood
Of the old man.

TYPHOID LURks in WELLS
United States Geological Survey is
sues Reprint Of Report on "Under-
ground Waters for Farm Use"

The rural sections, long considered
ideal so far as concerns the health Of
their inhabitants, have been dealt a,
blow by physician investigators who
maintain that two-thirds of the cases
OF typhoid fever in the city owe their
origin to insanitary conditions in the
country and to polluted water sup
plies.
Farms, which are generally remote
from towns, cities, or other areas Of
congested population, would seem to
be almost ideally situated for obtain
ing pure wholesome water, but in re-
ality polluted water is exceedingly
common on them and typhoid-feyer
rates are usually greater in country
districts than in cities Typhoid fever
IS now almost universally believed
to be transmitted solely through drink
or food taken into the stomach and
is especially liable to be communica-
ted by polluted waters obtained from
shallow wells near spots where the
discharges of typhoid patients have
been thrown upon the ground and
subsequently carried down through
the soil and to the wells, and it is
doubtless principally this fact that
accounts for the disease being so
common in farming regions
On a great many farms the we'll is
located at a point that may be CON
venient to the dwelling, without re-
gard for the possibility of the pollu-
ton Of the we'll water through seep-
age from barn or cesspool or through
the circulation of water underground
Information relating to the under
ground movement Of water is particu-
larly valuable, and on this account the
United States Geological Survey is
distributing a report on the subject

ron L. Fuller. The demand for this
