KILLING THE
sIUK With A
SOLUTION

.. -Ei.. t.. BgFWTEa - HHL-N p. a. RN-tl
Washington, Aug. s2l-'That dread
ed disease, spotted fever, which Car
ried off Surgeon McClintis, of the
! u. S. Public Health Service while he
! was studying the disease and its con
troll, is the subject of a joint expert
mental investigation by the Forest
Service and the department OF agri
culture.
This investigation has taken a
novel shape, for in it's process the
free grazing OF $500 head of sheep
in the Bitterroot national forest, in
Montana, is being utilized as a part
of the experiment in trapping the
deadly spotted fever tick. Local
growers are also participating in the
Work.
1t is the general belief of the lead
ing medical authorities that this my
sterions and frequently fatal disease
is spread by the tick which, in parts
of the Bitterroot forest, occurs in
such abundance that it constitutes Il
real menac to man and beast.
The. plan OF the campaign contem-
plates the grazing of two bands OF
sheep in the parts Of the forest where
the tick is most abundant, with the
idea that large numbers of the ticks
will attach themselves to the sheep.
Then, as occasion requires, the sheep
will be freed OF the ticks by being
dipped in an insecticide solution
which will kill the ticks without in
any way injuring the sheep.
The engorging of the female tick
with blood is one of the essential
functions of reproduction, and this
gorging must OF necessity take place
upon the larger mammals which serve
as hosts to the tick. The U. S. Bio,
logical survey has reached the con
clusion that the great bulk Of the
fever tick which become filled with
blood get their supply while attach
ed to domestic stock, and that if the
domestic animals are freed from ticks
by DIPPING, by spraying, or by some
other effective method of treatment,
the chances OF the infection of hu-
man beings will be vastly reduced.
OF the different domestic animals.
the sheep is the most readily handled
and the easiest to dip, or treat, hence
the selection Of sheep for use in this
experiment.

TO- RAG OR
NOT TO RAG
THE QUESTION

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 21.-To rag CT
not to rag, that's the question AT tpnts
of the Minnesota lake resockS tial
is extremely popular with Far soans.
The ladies who are spending the
summer there were not always busy
during the middle OF the week. ii
addition to the people from This city
there were Winnipeggers and st.
Paul people at the popular hostelry.
Some of them liked ragtime music
and dances. Others thought that kind
kind of music was TO be deplor ID.
Comments led to arguments, and
these to bitter remarks. Finally some
of the ladies referred to the ignor
ance of another, and cat" was the
retort. The manager was lmplorea
to post notices prohibiting Raging,
and later these were storm down. An
attempt was made to compromise by
permitting ragtime music every other
night, but the bitterness between the
women was not entirely overcome.
The wife of a former Minnesota gov
ernOr, the wife of a member OF the
North Dakota supreme court, a st.
Paul lady who is widely known in
newspaper circles, besides a large
number from Fargo and Winnipeg,
are all 8reported to have expressed
on the question.

NUMBER OF WEARY
WALIES APPALLING

Hankinson, N. D., Aug. 21.-With
the harvest season closing and thresh.
ing we'll under way, the number of
transients slounging about the rail
road functions is appalling. At cassel.
ton, at Wahpeton, at Wyndmere,
Cakes and Hankinson, the towns and
particularly the railroad wards are
cluttered up with them. The major
ity appear OF be in actual search for
work and as the threshing becomes
more general, they are rapidly leav-
ing the railroad points for places up
the various branch lines.
At Cakes the Aberdeen train has
been bringing from n to two hun
dred Does daily, and there, without
opportunity for immediate employ
ment, they have taken to the "jun-
gles"-to live as best they can. In
every junction town, minor depreda-
tons, robberies and holdups have oc-
cured, and the municipal police have
been kept on the alert in their efforts
to maintain order.
AS a class, there is nothing harm.
fnl in them. They are sem out from
the twin cities as harvest and thresh.
ing hands and there have been too
many Of them to secure work at once.
In every group there is certain to be
one who never Was particularly inter.
ested in North Dakota's "What Shall
the Harvest Be?" Several of these
"Waaries" have at times attempted a
harvest Of their own. cleaned from
their transient companions, and have
secured a comfortable existence in the
ditch along the track. And whenever
opportunity knocks and presents
something in their own particular
line, such as tapping a till of filing a
safe, they take it up in a moment,
for behind those w%ell-known phrases
THE job was evidently done by
transients," and "the police are on
the case" there is a world of safety.
SO why pass it up.
The professional DO is only one in
ten, but the others are known by the
feathers he tlaunts. He is the com.
pany and they are the guests, and If
they are Hospitality taken in by the
'bo and the police, who's to blame?
