INHERITED DEFECTS AT TRIBUTED TO ALCOHOL,

The influence of alcohol as a detrimental factor in inheritance is one which has not readily lent itself to convincing experiment tai proof in the past. During the last four years Professor Stock ard in the Cornell University Medical School in New York City has been engaged in study of the effects of alcohol in heridity. He has demonstrated conclusive ly that the germ cells of male guina-pigs can be so injured by allowing the individuals to in hale the fumes of alcohol that they give rise to defective off spring although mated with viz orous females. The extension of these unique Investigations, in which the offspring from the treated animals which reach ma turity are usually nervous and slightly undersized, have further shown that the effect of the in- jury of the germ cells is not only exhibited by the immediate off, spring of alcoholized animals, but is conveyed through their des- cendants for at least three gen. erations. There are many in- stances of mating followed by negative results or early abor- tions, stillborn young or defec- tives. An instructive illustration was afforded in a case in which two of the four young animals were completely eyeless, the eye balls, optic nerves, and chiasma being absent. Such defects re- suit, according to Stockard from the injury originally inflicted on the germ cells by the experiment tai treatment. Yet this injury may have been received by earli- CT generations only. Thus the parents of the guina-pigs men, toned were untreated, their four grandparents were also untreat- ed, but their great-grandfathers were all alcoholized and their great-grandmothers were all nor mal animals. The defective eyes i of descendants are due to im- paired developments, not to the direct action of alcohol. Plainly the germ cell is actually weaken ed, if not disabled by the alcohol treatment and all individuals arising from combinations in- volving such a germ cell are like
 ly to be below normal. As The Journal of the American Medica! Association says there is food for reflection in these facts.

HIPHENATED AMERICANS

fhlladelphia Saturday Evening Post. Whatever American citizen cherishes hyphen in these days ought to take it off and have a good look at it in the cold light of facts. He is going con- Itortably to his business and plea. sures as usual, with nothing worse to fear than a punctured tire or a crowded street car. If he has sons above Is years of age he knows they are snug at school or at home.
 If he were still under the flag to which the hyphen sentiment ally attaches him he would pro- bably have comparatively little business left to look after. A dark, chaotic welter would con- stitute his outlook on the bread winning side. Heartbreaking search for the lists of dead and wounded would be his chief do- mestlc occupation if he had sons of military age.
 And all for nothing-all for paper dogmas of statecraft which have not the least rela- tion to his own real interests and the interests of his neighbors. If he were French or German, Austrian or Russian, or even British, he would be caught in the vast destruction wrought by failure of government and civi- lization in Europe. The flag to the right of his hyphen is the only big one left that stands for those things that make the lot of the Twentieth Century Cauca- sian better than that of the Six teenth Century Indian.
 Having looked d. his hyphen in the light of these facts, maybe he will stop parading it. This is the worst time there ever was to invite American admiration for any European system.
 In the main this war proves the essential solidarity of the American public, and no one ob- jects to any citizens entertain ing in private whatever sym thies he pleases; but if any ex- ceptional citizen of foreign birth or foreign born parents feels so indissolubly welded to his pyph- en that he must flourish it in other peoples faces, the logical course for him is to take the next eastbound steamer and shoulder a muSket.

Some one must work in the fields, but without intelligent supervision the farm can hardly be expected to pay. Hands may be employ ed and paid, but farm managers are very scarce.

READY FOR FARM
 ING CAMPAIGN

The general committee of farmers, merchants, bankers and educators is rapidly bringing about the organization of the Profitable Farming Campaign that will cover the entire State of Arkansas. This campaign- the most extensive of it's kind ever held in the South-will be- gin early in November and last for 30 or 40 days. It will bring together in a concerted move ment for diversified farming and more poultry and livestock some of the ablest farming men in the country.
 How to Get It.
 This county can have a leading part in the campaign by asking for it. In a concise statement the Statewide committee tells just how to get the benefits of this movement. Gall a public meeting of the farmers, bankers and merchants says the an- nOuncement. Decide whether or not you want your town and county to get the benefits of this great campaign-Whether you would like to have 30 or 40 meet ings in your county, at which the vital matter of diversification and livestock farming will be dealt with in a practical, helpful way by some of the ablest agri- culturalists in this country.
 "If you want the campaign send in your request or petition at once to c. c. Fitzpatrick, Sec retary of the Campaign Commit tee at Little Rock. He will send man at once to explain the de- tails of the campaign and help you organize. No county will be included without a request from the people of the county. 1 The only expense will be board and lodging for l5 or 20 men for one or two days.
 "The purpose of the campaign f is to enable Arkansas to feed herself-raise at home the pro- ducts she now buys from other states-to have a garden at ev- cry home; to raise winter oats for pastures; to raise our own corn, our own hay, our own meats, canned goods, poultry, butter eggs-in fact all the pro- ducts every county is now buy ing from Northern States"
 All Forces Cooperate ! The forces cooperating in this campaign are the agents of the U. s. Department of Agriculture State College of Agriculture, District Agricultural Schools, Agricultural Departments of the Railroads, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Commission CT of Agriculture, officers of the Farmers Union, Chambers of Commerce and other commercial! organizations, jobbers, farmers, bankers and merchants, assisted by the Agricultural Extension Department of the International Harvester Company.

we'll get ready to vote to move the
University, the State College and the
School of Mines to Aberdeen. for that
is what that fair city of the parched
plains Of the Jim River valley will be
asking next. Why spread the money
the state has for education over Z
larger area thinly, rather than concen-
trating our efforts pm the already well
endowed and established colleges that
we now have? There is no demand
outside of the city of Aberdeen for the
establishment of another technical
school. in fact we need all the income
that our present taxes give TO support
what we have. This may seem a very
innocent law that merely gives the
Aberdeen school a chance TO add TO
her course OF study and make the
same more attractive TO prospective
students. But as a matter of fact II
is simply the entering wedge toward
the establishment of a school that will
clash with the work and purpose of
the University, the State College and
the School of Mines. This is simply
a local grab by Aberdeen in an effort
TO boost a Normal School that hap
pens to be situated in their midst into
the University class for selfish, tinan-
cial and utilitarian reasons. That this
is so is shown by an editorial in the
Aberdeen American of last Sunday,
where under a glaring headline OF
Worth $125.O0O to Aberdeen" they
90 on TO state how much the city gets
out of the school and how much more
they can get if they increase the at
tendance. Their slogan is, boost the
school for it means more money in
our pockets" Such a town spirit is
little help TO the poor boy or girl work
ing for an education. Every other
town having a state school seems to
want TO help the student, but from the
American one would be inclined to
think that they want to exploit the
student for Aberdeen's benefit. BE
sure end spike this selfish law by vot-
ing NO! Remember that this obnox-
ious measure is Referred Law No. B.

fully the people of that afflicted coun-
Try greeted the stars and stripes which
he carried on his car. "vive Ameri-
que" they cried as with one voice
when they saw the starry banner.
They all seemed to feel that it stood
for something which they loved, free
dom. We are told that men stood with
heads uncovered as the American flag
was carried past them, while women
wept- AS Americans we ought to be
glad that such feelings exist toward
our flag and we ought to see to it that
no nation shall ever have cause to

that season the rodents are coming in
from the fields where they have spent
the summer and are seeking winter
quarters in stores, barns, warehouses.

where shelter from winter storms may

Bat the Rat" campaigns will help re-
duce the enormous losses resulting
from the ~depredations of this pest of
civilization. Not only does the rat
consume great quantities of grain and
the amount he Eats by so contamin-
ating it as TO make it unfit for food for
man
The rat is well known as a native
agent in spreading bubonic plague and
trichinosis. In coast cities for. years
health officers have been fighting the
rat, the recent campaign in New Or
leans being the most thorough ever
undertaken. In our state every year
there are many cases of serious illness,
often resulting fatally, caused by the
consumption of raw or improperly
cooked pork. containing trichina. This
disease, trichinosis, is transmitted to
hogs through the rat when the latter is
eaten by the former. 1t is a well
known fact that rats abound in coun.
try slaughter houses and here large
numbers of rats are eaten by hogs.
The L. S. department of Agriculture
has published much valuable informa.
ton concerning the rat in Farmers
Bulletin No. 500 which nay be obtain.
ed by writing the department at Wash
ington. This bulletin tells how to fight
the rat, how to keep it away from the
premises, discusses traps and poisons
and gives other helps in destroying the
pest. According to this bulletin rat
censuses in various parts of the coun-
try have shown that a moderate esti,
mate places the rat population of the
nation at an amount equal to the hu.
man population. Applying this to
South Dakota, we find a total of 500,
900 rats in this state, assuming that
our population has reached this mark,
If each rat one ounce of food
daily, a very low estimate, 100000 rats
will consume $4,000 pounds daily. Let
us suppose this to be corn at seventy
cents per bushel. The cost every day
would be $437.50 or a total Of $159,67s
per year. When to this sum is added
the enormous loss in food contaminat'
ed by rats and the cost of the sickness
resulting from diseases carried by
rats, it is already seer that BAT the
Rat" campaigns will pay in dollars and
cents big dividends. Bat the Rat!
