which had hitherto been one OF ex-

pect of being left alone for such a
long period, took decided change.

SANITARY CORPS
is EFFICIENT IN SERBIA

London. Aug. 7.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press).--A. S. Ward
OF Boston, secretary of the American
sanitary commission in Serbia, has
returned from that county with the
news that the work of the American
doctors and sanitary expelts is prov
ing successful beyond all expectations
Mr.. Ward said: THE work Of the
American doctors and sanitary engin.
eers in Serbia is directed towards
prevention rather than cure OF the
various epidemics. and they are rap
idly cleaning up the towns in order
to prevent further outl, eak. The
old cisterns are being gradually de-
stroyed and artesian wells substituted.
DR. Richard p Strong, who is in
charge Of the American sanitary
corps in Serbia, is trying to stamp
out every particle of infectious dis
ease before the cold we5ther begins.
The work of disinfecting the Ser
bian soldiers and their clothing by
the American doctors is an undertake
ing which is proving eminently sue
cessful in ridding the country Of the
yermin which carry typhus. 1t was
impossible to transport the troops to
any one station, so it was necessary
to improvise a travelling disinfecting
plant The train is sidetracked at
any large camp and dressing tents
erected. From these the men jump
into the bath car, where the hose is
turned on them. When dried the
bathers are oiled with petroleum,
which kills the vermin. When the
bathers' clothes are removed they are
placed in the sterilizing car to be
thoroughly steamed and dried. AS
many as a thousand men and their
clothing are cleaned in cne day by
the sanitary train. In some places
men are found to be suffering from
.curvy and separate tre'tment and
medicine are given them"

AMERICAN EXCHANGE PROBLEM

of the Associated Press While the
American exchange problem is being
apparently ignored by The British
gold slip away in small quantities
without making an effort to meet it's
Indebtedness to the United States,
much advice Is being given by econo-
mists through the medium of the
press. as to the most efficacious meth
cd of dealing with this problem,
which, with an adverse trade balance
Of several hundred millions sterling
grows more pressing every week.
One writer advocates compulsory
economy to reduce imports ana ar
CUES that if the American exchange
continues against Great Britain the
prices of foodstuffs and other neces-
saries will continue to rise. II may
develop that there will soon be no
exchange at all as in the case Of Pet
rograd where there exists only a
nominal exchange of 20 per cent
against her and gold expectation pro
hibited by law. Russia, however. Is
in the position OF being self.contained
so far as foodstuffs are concerned.
The same writer advocates bread
tickets as the only method of making
the bulk of the English population
earning large and increasing weekly
wages economize, remarking thai "ap-
peals useless in Germany, a nation
trained in docility, will be equally
notifications here"
Another, in strongly 'Tsing the
great wage-earning British public to
save a portion of the weekly wage,
in order that the government may
borrow it later at interest, says the
fact must not be overlooked that
while trade is supposedly good we
are not trading under ordinary cir
cumstances, and practically all en-
gineering firms, shipbuilders and
many manufacturers, while paying out
wages and piling up profits. are really
trading with the government and not
adding to the wealth of the natiCn. a
million pounds spent on cotton pro-
duces wealth distributable in many
channels and also assists exports,
whereas the same sum spent on NUM-
tions is trading with the government
only.

DR.. {. PAYNE OF THIS COUNTY is
NO LONGER DEPENDENT ON

PLANT.

Tucked up in the pocket of a few
hills on his Caddo farm, seven miles
northeast OF Ardmore, II E. Payne
saw the possibility OF file irrigation
plant Throwing up a few hundred
feet of dam last winter. Dr. Payne
impounded all the floods that poured
upon a portion OF his farm last spring,
at a cost of $500. The result is a
lake covering about three acres and
an irrigation plant reaching 90 acres
OF land. Eighteen acres are in truck
food and two acres are the family gar.
den. Here every vegetable grown in
the county is found as thn'ty as when
growing under the spring rains. Here
are found the magnificent tomato gar
dens of Misses Gertrude and Edna
Payne. daughters of DR.. Payne. and
enthusiastic members of the canning
club. Their tomato plants are laden
with large, smooth tomatoes of the
Earliana variety, and top the market
at s. gross, per bushel.
Besides his gardens and truck fields,
Dr. Payne has a continual source Of
.resh meat for his table from his
lake already stocked bo1utifully with
fish.
What Dr. Payne has done, hundreds
of farmers in Carter coJ"ty can do,
for there are hundreds OF farms with
as good sites for irrigation. DR.. Payne
furn.ses striking example of what
brain and determination can do on a
farm.
