II asked next, Have farm mortgages
increased or decreased since the cree
ton Of the factory, and to what ex-
tent? All but two stated that they
had decreased, some materially. some
% per cent, some 30 per cent, one that
very few farms were now mortgaged.
Two stated that farm mortgages had
increased owing 20 the fact that rent
ers were becoming able to buy on par
tiaI payments.
II then asked for the average price
of agricultural lands prior to the loca-
ton Of the factoryTand at the present
time. Two gave no price before the
factory was erected, the land being a
desert and Of little value, land in one
of those sections now being worth
500 per acre. in the other $3.50 per
acre. OF the others. the smallest in
crease was 20 per cent. the greatest
$50 per cent. The average price of all
was $34.2s per acre prior to the loea-
ton of the factory and 1855 per acre
at the present time. The average in
crease in value was 124 per cent.
The next question was, What eff
feet has the erection of the factory
had on the prosperity of the farmersy
Here are some of the replies: Glorious,
Profits double, They are paying debts
and renters are buying farms Good,
Much interest shown Diversity of
crops Enables them to buy land and
build homes Better prices and de-
mand for produce of all kinds. Great

FORCIBLE ARGUMENT FOR GOOD
BRIDGES.

The following little story taken from
the Chicago Tribune is a strong argu-
ment for substantial bridges; such
accidents, formerly common, will NO
longer happen in those parts of Ne
braska where the twenty-ton bridge
law is enforced. A recent attempt to
change this law was defeated in the
Nebraska legislature and the law re-
mains at the twenty-ton standard,
which insures the safety of traffic.
| In the little magazine published by
an Iowa seed concern there appears y
little sermon on road improvements
that ought to be read by every farmer
in this region. The sermon is entitled
Joe Davis, Martyr" and it is illus
trated by two photographs taken by
the editor, Henry Field of Shenandoah,
Ia They show a broken wooden bridge
and Joe Davis wrecked shelter engine.
They do not show it's owner, for he
was in a hospital-dying.
The bridge through which he and his
engine broke was old, wooden, with
worm-eaten pine stringers. The road
commissioners are going to put in a
concrete culvert now. That doesn't |
help Joe, or Joe's widow and his six
children. The state of Iowa has lost |
a good citizen, hard working useful |
1t was not economy to keep that rot
ten bridge. 1t was waste.
Mr.. Field declares there are $4,000 |
such rotten bridges in Iowa alone.
Then there are probably that many or
more in Illinois. AS the Tribune point
ID out the other day, Iowa has spent
,ne hundred and ten million on her
'oads and got in return some of the
worst in the country. Illinois has a
ecord as bad.
The situation was not created by
ack of money, but by its foolis. out
ay.
Let us see to it that our county has !
ubstantial concrete bridges in all flu {
ure construction. /

YOUNG HUNTERS.

Sheriff Roberts of Ada county has
sounded the keynote of warning to
young hunters to be careful with their
firearms or else some of them are like
ly to be obliged to pay for a valuable
animal, as several have been reported
killed.
The same note of warning might be
sounded to young hunters in this To-
cality who, according to reports, are
in the habit when out hunting of
taking a shot" at anything in the
shape of an animal, particularly pro-
tected birds. There is not alone a
state law protecting certain birds, but
also a federal law, and it would be
well for parents who allow boys of
tender years to hunt with firearms to
familiarize themselves with these laws
and Instruct their young hopefuls.
But the wisest plan for parents to fol-
low is not to allow children to go
hunting.
The killing of songbirds by young
hunters, especially in a locality where
such birds are none too plentiful, is
not only crime but sin as well.

Under the subject, Treatment of
Progressive Cases of tuberculosis, y
DR.. Mary E. Lapham of Highlands, N
! c., before the clinical section of the
national association declared that the
future treatment of pulmonary tuber
culosis in it's advanced forms must be
surgical rather than medical
There are two well-defined, dis
tinct classes of pulmonary tubercu-
losis," said DR.. Lapham. They are
those that recover, and those that from
the very start manifest an inability to
arrest the disease. These progressive
cases may improve, but they can not
hold what they gain. AS soon as this
is recognized, the futility and danger
of depending alone on good nursing,
fresh air and rest must be admitted |
and surgical aid must be employed.
1.-THE surgical assistance to the more |
natural methods of treatment gives |
the lungs more complete rest, drives
blood from the engorged blood vessels,
keeps the lungs from expanding and
saves them from the pulling and tug h
ging of respiration. 1t collapses the
ungs and forces them up together;
expels it's poisonous purulent con-
ents; keeps the lungs clean and dry;
md makes the growth of the tubercle
)acilli in the sputum disappear in
many cases after surgical treatment.
Thus the danger of injecting others
Turing recovery is removed. When a
ase of pulmonary tuberculosis be- ;
ongs to the progressive type it may
ost the life of the patient to persist
n medical measures alone. Surgery :
hould be tried before it is too late" ,

elivered an interesting address on ,

patients discharged from q
