farmers, is the first in this section to

Mckinley has planted five acres to
experiment with. This is said TO be
the very best seed to plant for a fall

Mr. Mckinley raises a lot Of stock
and expects to raise more In a few
days he expects to plant 100 acres in
oats.
There is no better section of the
state more adapted to raising of cat

immediate vicinity.
The new Methodist church has been
completed, and when painted it will
add very much to the appearance Of
the public square, as it is situated on
the east side. The pastor, Rev. Mr..
Griffin, deserves the best wishes of
his members for the good work that
he has done in having this building
erected. 1t is a credit to his work.

SANITATION IN

DRASTIC MEANS ARE BEING EN-

ALL TIME.

Was hington, Oct. 1o.-Drastic means
are being employed to enforce proper
sanitation in the Panama Canal Zone.
employees for failure to comply with
the sanitary regulations. The speci
fic cause of their discharge was their
failure to report to the district physi-
clan after being treated in the hos
pital, for malaria, according to notices
posted over the Panama Canal Zone
and verbal instructions given them at
the time of their discharge from the
hospital. ,-...
The health department points out
that its efforts to free the isthmus
from malaria are offset greatly by
such neglect as these employees were
guilty of, and that as a matter of
fact and record the menace to life
and health of residents of the isthmus
is greater from malaria than from
the more generally dreaded diseases,
such as typhus and yellow fever and
plague.
It is only oy prolonged treatment
that malaria can be cured, it is de-
clared, and persons often retain the
germ Of the disease in their blood
after all the symptoms have disap-
peared, so that they are apparently
we'll. While numerous uncured cases
are at large to infect mosquitoes it
will be impossible, say the canal off,
Gals, to bring the rate of infection
from malaria much below its present
level.
