WHY THE STREETS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE KEPT CLEAN
Treat the Town as We Would Our
Own Bodies.

The demand for good street cleaning
methods is usually predicated upon the
opposed menace to health which ex-
ts where such methods are lacking.
While In the dirt there are to be found
the germs of about every known dis
ease. nature has made ample provi-
sion for the resistance of the attack
which these germs make upon the del
lcntc membranes upon which they are
caught when spread by the wind, and
because people are not sickly when lax
conditions of cleaning exist they are
too liable to be satisfied with poor
methods. 1t is better to have clean
streets because we want to be clean,
Just as it Is we'll to have clean body
on account of the refreshing feeling
and elevating mental condition. Sur
roundings have so much to do with
the formation of character and habits
That the children at least are entitled
20 the good bringing up that clearly
conditions compel, and the less fortu-
nate citizen who uses the street for
recreation is entitled to the best posi-
bic service. The streets, after all, are
but the Railways of the great munich
pal house, and municipal householders
should find pleasure In keeping them
ns does the competent housewife. -

WHEN DRAINAGE PAID.

Brought $50 Bushels OF Corn and Add
ed $1,000 to Lands Value.
Four hundred and fifty bushels of
corn from eight acres that were almost
worthless two years ago is the yield
Mort Van Buskirk of Kincaid, Kan,
received this year. Drainage did It,
Here is the story:
Mr. Van Buskirk wrote two years ago
to II. b. Walker, state drainage and ir-
rigation engineer at the Kansas Agri-
cultural college, asking what he should
do with an eight acre piece of swampy
land covered with willows. This land
never had produced anything.
Mr. Walker advised him to drain the
land, and he did. The land was planted
to corn and yielded 450 bushels. Other
corn in that neighborhood averaged
from ten to forty bushels to the acre.
The cost of draining the land was $125.
Mr.. Van Buskirk values his corn at
so cents bushel, or $225. Besides the
increased crop, he considers his land
worth 81 900 more by the improvement.

Here's a Good Combination.

In this hunt for the profit dollar
keep an eye on the combination Of ensi-
lage and clover or alfalfa hay. There
Is no other combination of feed like it

take these two pieces of forage and
with good cows and no grain he could
come out at the end of the year with a

MAKING
FARM

THERE are more reasons than one
for making poultry prominent
part Of the farm program. With
300 to 500 chickens on a place many
tons of compost can be made, which
will be worth hundreds Of dollars In
fertllizlng the garden and field crops.
1t is necessary to keep poultry
house and yard literally supplied with
road dust or some other light soil. The
floor under the roosts should have a
fresh supply of this earth twice a week
or oftener. 1t serves as an absorbent
for the droppings, produces rich COM
post very fast and destroys lice.
AS a dust heap is one Of the first es-
sentials around poultry plant this
clean, fine earth comes into play there
also. Dust which chickens use for
their baths does not need to be chang
ed more frequently than two or three
times In a season. When it becomes
dirty it should become part of the
compost.
This fertilizer is valuable enough SO
that it ought to receive some care, and
with several hundred chickens the an
nual accumulation will fill good sized

Roll of Rescued S62,

New York, April 1.-THE roll OF
the saved from the Titanic disaster to-
night seems complete.
Practically every attending circum-
stance in the transmission of news
from the Carpathia goes to show that
only 32S of the 610 cabin passengers
of the Titanic are safe on the rescue
ship.
The 2S2 cabin passengers whose
names have not appeared in the list
sent ashore yesterday by wireless
probably must be conceded as among
the 1872 lives which the collision OF
the mammouth new steamer with an
iceberg off the New Foundland banks
Sunday night is believed to have taken.
Thousands of hopeful hearts were
turned to despairng ones when the
United States scout cruiser Chester
flashed ashore late today the news that
she had been in communication with
the Carpathia and had asked repeat
ed1y for the full list of the first and
second cabin survivors and that the
rescue ship reported that ali the
names had already been sent ashore.
Steerage or Crew.
The remainder of the $40 persons
saved were passengers in the steerage
or members of the crew.
After the strain of three days wait
ing without news Of their missing
ones, there were few of the hopeful
that still held out tonight against the
seemingly final word as to the fate of
friends and relatives.
The small remaining hope of the few
who refused to believe the worst rest
ed tonight On the faint possibility that
the list of survivors sent by wireless
from the Carpathia, might after all not
be quite complete.
The fact that one new name came
through late today in a private mes
sage from the Carpathia was the basis
of what was desire more than hope
that there were slips enough in her
wireless list to account for a few, a
list of those still unaccounted for. At
the best, however, it appeared that it
could be only an occasional one
whose safety had not been reported

Due Tonight.
From the Carpathia, which is ap-
proximately 600 miles from New York
and which is expected, if she keeps up
her rate of progress of 13 knots an
hour, to reach the entrance of the
harbor by s o'clock tomorrow night,
came a new report during the day as
to the number of survivors on board.
Through the Cunarder Franconia,
which established wireless communl~
cation with the rescue ship, came a
message which included this state
ment:
"she has total of 7O5 survivors
aboard"
The previous statement from the
Carpathia had been that she carried
S6S survivors.
1t may be that report received
through Franconia included accounts
of rescued passengers; only disregard
ing the 100 or more members of the
crew who must have been in the boats
which the Carpathia picked up.
Steerage Passengers Named.
Communication was being had with
the Carpathia tonight through both
the scout cruiser Chester and the shore
wireless station at Siasconset. Through
the Chester there began coming SLOW
ly the names of saved passengers from
the third cabin of the Titanic.
The very sending of these could not
but help confirm the fateful belief
that there were no more names OF
first and second cabin passengers to
send. And thus there was left hardly
a possibility that the names OF well
known men, such as John Jacob Astor,
William T. Stead, Benz. Guggenheim,
Isador Straus, Mai. Butt and the 9TH
ers of the now familiar list of notables
could have been omitted in the trans
mission of names. That these men
had gone down with the ship there re-
mained hardly a doubt.
