CATTLE DISEA Sc IS
NOW HELD IN CHECK

sufficient to stop the movement of in
fected cattle and that the disease can
now be held within the limits OF the
areas already quarantined. Another
cause for encouragement is the fact
that although shipment of infected
cattle reached Spokane, Wash, some
days ago no new cases have since
been reported from that state. This
is taken to mean that the diseased
cattle were killed before they had an
opportunity to spread the disease. In
consequence 1t has not been consid-
cred necessary to quarantine Wash
ington. AT the present time the
states most seriously effected are
Ohio. Illinois, Indiana and Pennsyl-
yania."

Naval construction takes relatively

A Reduction in County Expenses.

The annual financial statement of
Valley county for the year ending
November Is, 1914 has just been
issued and contains many interesting
facts, especially, rs we are nearing
the time when we will vote OH the
question Of county division and we
think a careful study of the statement
would convince the most skeptical
that the time is more than ripe for
division. The amount that it has
cost the taxpayers of Valley county
to run the county government for the
past year is something enormous and
there is nothing under the sun that
will stop the high cost OF county
government and reduce the taxation
at this time excepting division of
the county.
We wish to he entirely fair in the
proposition of county division and
not to mislead amy of our readers,
and the comparisons following are
taken from the last financial state
ment and the costs of n new seventh
class county. 1t will be remembered
that Valley county as it now sta nds
is in the tifth-cla and the salaries
of the various officers higher than
they would be in a seventh class.

GREAT INCREASE IN THE
NUMBER OF WOMEN IN
GERMAN UNIVERSITIES

Berlin. Feb. 21.--The number Of W.
men students at German universities
has been nearly quadrupled during the
past siN years according to figures just
announced. In the winter Of 1908,
when the doors Of German universities
were first fully thrown open TO women
there were i,l0S women students en-
rolled; today there are 3,6S6 women
taking regular courses and as many
more who are attending lectures. More
than six per cent. OF the total numb ar
of students at the German unlversl-
ties are women. More than half of all
the women are studying philosophy;
languages and history; somewhat more
than one-fourth are studying medi-
cine. and more than one-flfth natural
sciences.
Nearly 400 OF the women students
are foreigners. Russia sends the larg-
est number, and America the next. The
women have for three years been go.
ing more To the Prussian uniyer-
stiles. Leipzig and Munich especially
have had large gains i'm that time; and
the smaller institutions like Jena
Wuerzburg and Frcburg have also
made relatively large gains.

sensation in the British Isles, it has
not aroused any disposition on the part
of responsible members of the British

national compulsion will soon be nee
essary to stop Mexico from wallowing
