1t has been from the lack of knowledge
of the physician concerning tropical medl-
cine that such diseases as pellagra and
hookworm existed for generations I'M
recognized in our own country.
Another item that enters into the spe-
cial needs of the naval surgeon is the
fact of his isolation during a large part
OF his professional life. The only medical
man on board a ship. with perhaps a
thousand men under his charge. he is often
so far away from other medical resources
that he must be his own specialist. With
out opportunity for consultation, he must
rely solely on his own knowledge and
skill knowing full we'll that there are
higher powers to whom he must report,
and that the Navy Department carefully
scrutiniZes these reports The work or
the Naval Medical School is designed to
give him a specialists training in those
matters which may arise on shipboard
where the work of a specialist is needed
Germs are the causes of almost all OF
the tropical diseases with which the naval
surgeon has to deal. so the Naval Med
ical School lays especial stress upon the
necessity of a practical knowledge OF
parasitology and bacteriology. In this
work both lectures. illustrated with lam
tern slides and laboratory work, are
given, and these are supplemented with
actual experience in clinical work on
cases furnished by the naval hosfNeJ u.s.

to run up score that was danger
Gus at times, standing at to z at
the end of the first half. The Corval-
lis team is a good team, has good
coach who is a fine fellow, but he
could not resist the temptation to
coach while he was watching the
points. The score wound up at 12 to
l6, much in favor of 16 and the home
boys with plenty Of energy to spare.
The crowd was small but there
were enough who went to the Armo-
ry to create lively interest. The
visitors, although being able to de-
feat the LaCreoles at Corvallis, were
clearly outclassed and could be de-
feated by the Dallas High with ease,
it is said by those who know. This
will, perhaps, close the championship
series in which the second team here
has been interested.

WOMAN'S CLUB TO

LADIES TO INTRODUCE NOVEL
TY IN ENTERTAINMENT.
Dish Shower to Be Given Under
Capable Leadership; Committees
Appointed and Plans Arranged.

At the last meeting of the Womans
Club it was decided to hold "dish
shower" for the club. A large com
mittee to arrange for this has been
appointed. Under the leadership Of
Mrs. C. G.. Coad these ladies will call
on each club member and ask for a
donation of plates and cups and sau-
GERS. The plan is to have all those
who can do so conveniently give two
plates and two cups and saucers of
any plain white ware. Where there
are several club members in one fam
lily or where it is not easy for each
member to give the four pieces, fewer
pieces will gladly be accepted. Also
if it is simpler for a member to give
from her own sets some other than
plain white dishes, these too will be
acceptable. The idea is to have as
many members as possible take part
in furnishing the club kitchen, so that
each may have a personal interest
in it.
The next general club meeting oc-
ours on Tuesday, April 1st, at the
lecture room Of the Library. At that
time an especially good musical pro-
gram has been arranged to show off
the handsome new Knabe piano re-
Gently purchased by the club. At
that meeting the dish shower will oc-
eur and from the new dishes assem-
bled that day, the members and vis-
itors present win partake Of excellent
refreshments given by the officers, di-
rectors and committees Of the club.
Mrs. c. g. Coad viii meet her com
mittees on arrangements in the lee

A POLK COUNTY HERO.
(By Old Timer J

IA prophet is not without honol
save in his own country"
In other words we do not consider
a thing Of much Importance that ex
lists in our own vicinity, but dis
tance lends enchantment land there
by hangs a tale. When Ira Smith
now Senator from Coos county, was
sheriff of this county, man named
Beardsley killed a man at Eola. He
was confined in the Jail here awaiting
trial. Word came to the sheriff, in
some way, that a mob was gathering
near the Brown place intending to
storm the Jail after night and mob
the prisoner. The evident thing to
do was TO get the prisoner away to
safe Jail. There was but one way
to do and that was to get fast team
and give the mob the dodge. Nat
Holman was keeping a livery stable
here and Prince and Blucher was
the fastest team in the stable. The
owner was not in the habit of letting
everybody drive this team but the
deputy-sheriff had driven it a few
times, so he went to the stable, told
Holman some kind of yarn about
a short drive, and got the team.
Putting his prisoner in the buggy
he started on the south side of the
LaCreole creek, headed for the ferry
on the Willamette, half way between
Independence and Salem. Some one
was watching and the mob got word
and started to head of the deputy.
1t was about an even race between
the men on horseback and Prince and
Blucher hitched to a rig with two
men in it, The team won and were
across the river when the mob reach
ed the west bank. Beardsley was
saved: the mob, in reality, were saw
ed also; Prince and Blucher took
their load TO Salem. Beardsley was
acquitted at his trial. The team
looked like a shoestring next day
but, with a few days rest, they
were ready for another trip.
And Prince died, but Blueher still
lives. He is the property Of Mrs. @.
0. Holman and is now q pensioner.
He win be 80 years old in April. He
has a home for the winter and
pasture for the summer. Still an ae-
live old fellow, the blue that gave
him his name has turned 70 white.

Dallas Has Candidate For High PO-

For some time the name of H. L.
Fenton has been used in connection
with the United States marshalship
appointment which it was thought for
time might fall in the lap Of E. C.
kirkpatrick of this place, and it is
said today that Mr.. Fenton's chances
for the appointment are on an equal
ity with the many Others who have
announced their willingness and anx-
iety. Mr.. Fenton is said to have
been fortunate in having a strong fol-
lowing Of friends enlisted for the race
and he believes his chances for the
appointment win have favorable con

at Washington when the matter
comes up for hearing. The news Of
his selection would certainly be her
