INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION IN
COLUMBUS. GA.

A school specially designed for
children Of mill operatives is feature
OF the Industrial education system OF
Columbus, Ga. according to- q bulle.
tin Just issued by the United States
bureau of education. The school was
established with the idea Of encourag.
ing attendance among the large class
Of mill children in Columbus, many of
whom were not going to school at all.
A handsome colonial residence in
the mill district was purchased by the
board Of education for the new school
Special pains we're taken to adapt the
course of study and the hours in the
school to the conditions of millwork.
School hours are from 8 to II, and
from 1 to $3.50. The long intermission
is to enable the children to take
lunches to parents, brothers. sisters,
and others who are employed in the
mills. This is regular daily task with
most of the children, some of them
earning several dollars week as din
nertoters." The chool itself is fire.

dinner-toter's school"

industrial, the three RS" are insisted

NO MORE TYPHOID IN.THE ARMY.

Typhoid fever has been banlsned
from the United States army. When
our soldiers are needed, hereafter the
American people can feel sure that, as
far as this disease is concerned, the
full strength Of each company and re-
giment will be on the firing line. In
previous wars, from 10 to 40 per cent.
of the opposing forces have been In
the hospitals, incapaCitated through
various diseases. During the Spanish
American war, out of 10,759 soldiers
in camp at Jacksonville, Fla, there
were 1858 cases of typhoid. II this
division had been in the midst Of an
active campaign its fighting strength
would have been weakened about one
third, not only by the loss of these
patients, but also by the loss of the
men necessary to care for and trans
port them Any means which will re-
duce or eliminate any of the diseases
from which soldiers have suffered in
the past will actually increase both the
strength and the efficiency ofthe army.
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1913-09-20

It will greatly increase the chances
of our volunteer soldiers returning
safe from war, as disease has, In every
war in history SO far, killed more SOL
diers than bullets. An official announce
ment of the elimination of typhoid
from our army Is an event In which
every citizen should feel keen inter-
est. In recent issue of The Journal
Of the American Medical association,
Major Frederick F. Russell of the
Medical corps summarizes the results
secured through vaccination. In 1902,
with an enlisted strength of 80,778 men
and officers, there were In our regular
army SOS cases Of typhoid. In 1909,
out of 84,077 men there were 282 cases.
In March, 1909, vaccination was
begun, but the number vaccinated that
year, $50, was too small to affect the
ratio. In 1910 over sixteen thousand
were vaccinated, and at once the num-
Der of typhoid cases began to diminish.
In 1911 there were only 10 cases. In
the same year vaccination for typhoid
was made compulsory on all persons
in the military service and on all re-
cruits. In 1912, the first year in which
the entire army was immunized, there
were only ~ cases, the last one oc-
curing Dec. 10, 1912. Since that date
now nine months ago, there has not
been single case Of typhoid in the
armyI
Major Russell also reports that dur
ing that past four years over 100000
persons have been vaccinated without
a single death or in furious result Snch
an experience on so large scale Ger
tainly iustifes his conclusion that by
the general use of vaccination typhoid
fever will soon become a. negible fac
tor in our public health problems

A petition has been circulated ask
ing for the support to be pledged for
an athletic association for Roundup.
About one hundred names have been
secured on the petition. These sign
ers have pledged to help support this
movement in u financial way and to
promote it in every way. It is a good
movement if properly handled and 1t
will probably be SO, as the promoters
of the organization are responsible.
A meeting has been called for next
Thursday evening to effect an organi-
zation. Some boxing matches will
probably be staged by the organiza-
tion in the near future to promote in

expenses. 1t is not the purpose OF
the club to confine itself only to devel
opment of fist cuff displays however.

suitable arrangements can be made
for warehouses, etc. Branch houses
will also be established at Miles City

to all the small towns of this county
and the Musselshell valley from this
place. Their business has grown to
such an extent in this territory that
they feel that they will be unable to
properly distribute out OF Butte anoth
er season. Mr.. Willis, who will have
charge of the new enterprise, will
make his heaa quarters here, and it is

HELENA, MONTANA, Oct. 3O.-
Montana this year produced twenty.
eight million bushels of wheat. Is the
estimate of grain men who are In
touch with conditions in every part
OF the state, have agents in all tho
rural districts and, who, II anybody
should know what the grain output
IS.
But these grain dealers assert they
don't know how much grain Montana
is producing this year. "Conserva-
tive guessers." they say, put the out
put at 2S,OOO,O00 bushels. 1t may bo
whole lot more; they don't think 1t
will be less. The yield per acre 10
estimated at eighteen bushels.
Reports that In certain sections of the
state early frosts did immense damage
and that in other parts of the state
there were drouths are greatly exaG.
gerated. In no part Of Montana was
there crop failure, and the average
crop for the state was fair; 1t was
not bumper one but on the other
hand neither was It poor. Some lit
tie damage was done in the Gallatin BY
frost to few patches OF wheat ana
in some instances fields Of peas were
touched, but the average in the Gallae
tin was way up.
Conditions at present are ideal for
next years crop. There has been
/ abundant moisture all over the state,
which has germinated the winter
wheat, and has made plowing easy.
