REVEAL AGE OF MAN
FLINT IMPLEMENTS MADE TWO
MILLION YEARS AGO.
Collection Of Much Interest as PROVING
That at That Time Men Had
intelligence Of BY No Means
Low Order.

Flint implements which because of
the thickness OF the patina given to
them by exposure are estimated to be
at least 100000 years old and be-
lieved to prove that man existed at
that remote time in the valley OF the
Nile, with sufficient intelligence to
fashion stone into weapons. are being
shown In collection OF more than
5000 items excavated In Egypt by
Robert de Rustafjaell Bey, says the
New York Herald. The excavator, a
fellow OF the Royal Geographical 30
ciety, is at the exhibition

These relics form the beginning OF

A feature OF the exhibition is the

found on the site of temple at
Thebes. II is a symbolic representa-

HOG CHOLERA FACTS.
: s+++*+++**+**++* = :


The following list Of Things to Re-
member About Hog Cholera" was pre-
pared by DR.. L. L. Lewis of the Okla.
1oma A. & NJ College, Saltwater:
l. There is in Oklahoma no dis
ease Of hogs that spreads from farm
% farm as an epidemic except hog
cholera.
2. The types of the disease and
symptoms are not the same in all
outbreaks. In mild outbreaks one
half of the hogs may recover, and
hose that die may linger for two
weeks.
g. The actual cause of hog cholera
Is not known, but it is known that the
cause, whatever it may be, may be
carried from farm to farm by stock.
by people on their clothing, by crows,
ouzzards. hogs, etc, and by running
water.
4. That an infected farm should be
guarantined and the owner should
stay away from his neighbors' farms.
and that every one should stay away
rom an infected farm.
5. That there are great many So
called hog cholera cures, but they do
not seem to be worth very much.
s. That vaccination is a means of
preventing hog cholera and that the
immunity produced by the use OF se-
rum will last for few weeks.
7. That hogs that recover from
cholera, or that have gone through an
outbreak of the disease, are very val.
aable for breeding purposes, as they
are immune to the disease.
8. That hogs well cared for and
iree from parasitic troubles are less
likely to contract cholera than hogs
kept In insanitary surroundings.
9. When cholera first appears in
community not only the hogs OF the
infected herd should be vaccinated.
out all hogs on surrounding farms
should be treated This will place a
barrier against the most common way
The disease spreads.
10. There are lot OF things to he
learned about hog cholera and its con-.
srol, but If good use is made of what
IS known, much loss can be saved.

GARFIELD FARM BEING IRRIGATED
ENID CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
BOOSTER OF PROJECT.
Beneath the Most Fertile Land In
State is lnexhaustlble Reservoir
Of Water

Much interest was centered this
spring at Enid in the prospects for ir
rigation in Garfield county. Through
the efforts of the Enid chamber OF
commerce, the United States geologi
cal survey sent A. T. Schwennessen
to Enid to make an examination OF
conditions there in reference to the
underground water supply known to
exist in some parts Of the country. Mr.,
Schwennessen spent some time there
in January and within the past month
the geological survey has issued bull
letin on the water supply of Garfield
county with reference to irrigation.
In this bullentin is a map showing the
part Of the county having the water
supply
Enid Is shown to be the center of an
area covering more than 100000 acres
in this county, which is underlaid at
a depth varying from twenty-five to
sixty feet, with an almost inexhausti-
BILE supply of pure water. The system
of coarse gravel in which the water
flows Is from ten to twenty feet deep
This water supply is the same which
furnishes the city water through a
system similar to only two others in
the United States. The water by an
alysis is shown to be the purest in
the state, and the water which is
pumped direct into the city mains
without ever entering a reservoir.
The Rock Island railroad has an ir-
rigation expert, e r. Bennett, who is
spending considerable time in Gar
field county aiding in the develop.
ment of irrigation. Several farmers
have used irrigation on a small scale
In this county using this water sup
ply. Charles King, residing just west
Of Enid has irrigated on the largest
scale having about fifty acres irrigat-
ed in the season of 1913. Most Of
this land was planted to fruit and
vegetables and alfalfa. This year Mr.
King is extending his system SO that
he can irrigate 100 acres. The entire
acreage is irrigated from one large
well, at the King farm. the water be-
Ing pumped into a reservoir and from

EVANS FAVORS
F0URSONE AS
FINE GOLF TEST
"ChiCk" Describes Difference Be-
tween This and the Four
Ball Match.
By Chick Evans.

~HICAGO, Jan. 24.-There is a
good bit of discussion at pres
ent in the East concerning the
relative merits of the foursome and
the four ball match. There are many
golfers who do not discriminate and
who call al matches including four
plavers foursomes. To an English
man or Scotsman this is an unpar-
donable error and l mention for the
benefit of the uninitiated that a
foursome is a two-ball match, each
PARTNER alternately striking the same
bail. and a four ball match is exactly
what its name signifies, and each
golfer plays his own ball 1t seems
the Eastern Lesley Cup matches Ga
tri-city event-Philadelp New
York and Boston, have been four
somes and many of the prominent
Eastern players believe this not to be
the best test of the comparative skill
of the players as a team. They add
moreover, that this foursome is dead
lv dull
IN Chicago we practically never had
foursomes except that entertaining
variety called mixed" | recall the
one case in which l ever played a
foursome in this part of the country
with a man partner. That was in the
lake County cup matches at On
Wentsia, and my partner was j. w.
Moulding. When | was in England |
was selected to play, a graceful tri-
butte to America, first team with John
Ball in the Coronation Foursomes
against Braid and Massey. 1t was
amateurs against professionals, and
Il is interesting to know that we play
Cd over the Royal st. Georges links
at Sandwich, where the 1914 British
championship is to be played. To my
eurprse, the Coronation matches were
foursomes, and l was nervous because
had played in only one foursome
before, and in not more than TWO or
three of the mixed sort. Mr.. Ball
seven times champion of Great
Britain, was very fine. but my playing
was poor.
THE unaccustomed form of compe-
l tition, the new distances, and the
great distinction of my company
proved too much for me, and ever
since l have not cared particularly
for that style of play.
But, looking at the matter dispas-
sionately, there is no question that
the foursome is the better test of team
play, for the players act more nearly
as one. l think, however, there are
few people who would care to go
out 10 play foursomes out of desire
TO golf-the shots are too few ana
the distances confronting them 100
unaccustomed. The social opportunl-
ties are greater, perhaps.
The four-b ball match may be more
replete with brilliant shots, ana from
the point of view of the spectator IS
more spectacular. In England ana
Scotland, however, there is great par
tialitv shown for the foursome, but
to my mind the four ball match is
more enjoyable. but | am not sure
that it is as good test of team
