Milk From Diseased
Cow Responsible for
Tuberculosis, Often
County Agriculturist Monroe Gives
List of Grays Harbor Bovines With
Clean Bill of Health.

81 note that tuberculosis day was
observed December 6, at the request
Of the American Red Cross society,
the prime object of the observance of
the day being to educate the people
regarding the causes and means of
contracting tuberculosis" says Coun-
ty Agriculturist C. F. Monroe in a
letter to the Herald.
practically no one disputes the fact
that tuberculosis can be, and frequent
ly is, contracted by using milk from
diseased cows. At this time, when
the state is testing dairy herds at no
cost to the owner, there is absolute
ly no reason for using milk from un-
tested cows. Dairymen and consum-
ers alike should take a keen interest
in this matter All owners are reini-
bursed in a reasonable measure for
slaughtered animals, and, as the per-
centage of disease increases rather
than diminishes when no means are
taken to prevent it, this should be con-
sidered golden opportunity to clea 4
up.
''The following dairymen have had
their herds tested by deputy state
veterinary and have a clean bill Of
health: E. R. Brady, E. l.. Brewer,
Satsop; Fred Rosmond and brother,
Oakville; C. o. Durdle, Cedarville; A.
H. King, r. B. DeRemer, Elma; Oscar
Smith, Geo. Twidwell, R. l.. Learned,
w. l. Leonard, Joseph Alexander, E..
B. Kemp, w. F. Darby, w. o. Boards.
ley, S. F. Medcalf and brother, Rob-
ert Smith, Murphy Bros, J. H. Tay-
lor, l. o. Edwards, D. c. Simons and
j. l.. Bryant, all of Montesano; w. G.
Hopkins and N. T. A. Nilsson of Sag
inaw.
1.-THE following have applied for the
state test: b. c. Reinkens, j. B. Goch-
nour Mrs. r. Mooney and Fred Pier
en- all of Montesano. Doubtless other
herds have been tested by private vet
erinarians but this office has no rec
ord of such herds. A deputy state
veterinarian will be in the county
again late this month or early in Jan.
uary and this will likely be his last
trip here for several months. App!;.
cation blanks for the test can be Sc
cured from the county agriculturist."

Christmas Near
The North Pole

JOVIAL Christmas was that
spent by Admiral Peary on
IA his last expedition to the
arctic, from which he return
ed with the report Of the discovery Of
the north pole. At Cape York. Green
land, the Roosevelt picked up Eskimos
and dogs and by way Of Etah and
Cape Sheridan made her way to
Grant Land, where she had to halt In
the ice locked waters Of the Arctic
ocean. only 600 miles from the pole.
when Christmas day came The story
of the party's celebration Of this Christ
mas. one Of the "farthest north" ever
enjoyed by white men, was told inter
estingly by the explorer when he re-
turned to the United States.
ut was not very cold" wrote Peary.
"only minus % degrees F. In the
morning we greeted each other with
the Merry Christmas of civilization.
At breakfast we all had letters from
home and Christmas presents which
had been kept unopened. Macmillan

ed the program Of sports. At 2 o'clock
there We're races on the ice foot. A
seventy-fve yard course was laid out,
and the ships lanterns, about fifty Of
them. were arranged in two parallel
rows twenty feet apart. These Ian
terms are similar to railway brake

strange sight-that illuminated race
course within IA degrees Of the earth's
end.
"The first race was for Eskimo chill
dren. the second for Eskimo men, the
third for Eskimo matrons with babies
in their hoods. the fourth for unen-
numbered women. There were four
entries for the matrons' race. and no
one could have guessed from watch
ing them that 1t was a running race
They came along four abreast, dressed
in furs, their eyes rolling. putting like

.BESPANCLED
POSTCARDS GO
INTO DISCARD
Glass and Tinsel Cause Postoffjce En-.
ployes to Throw Dangerous
Mlssives into Waste Basket

Many Aberdeen residents, who
fondly think that relatives or friends
will be delighted with the Christmas
or other holiday feature cards, be-
spangled with glass or tinsel, which
they are mailing them, would be as
tonished and chagrined if they knew
what happened to those cards. They
are thrown into the postoffice's waste
baskets.
There is good reason for this &C.
tion on the part Of employees in the
Aberdeen, as in all other United
States postoffices The postcards are
dangerous. In former days, before
the postmaster general ordered their
stoppage, mail handlers suffered cuts
from the glass, metal, mica, sand,
tinsel and similar substances used in
decorating the cards. The cuts often
led to infection Of the wounds.
Nevertheless, despite the many
warnings that have been issued by
the department" said Postmaster
John ]. Carney, yesterday, this
Christmas mail, as in former years,
is seeing the same class of dangerous
postcards dropped into the postoffice.
They are all consigned to the waste
basket. There is only one way in
which these cards may be mailed,
with insurance of their forwarding to
destination, and that is to enclose
them in an envelope, tightly sealed,
with full first class postage affixed
to the enevelope, not to the card"

} WICHITA MAKES BASEBALL {
HISTORY. {

Recently at Wichita, Kan,
two base runners were retired
by one throw to the plate in q
game between the Wichita and
Lincoln clubs of the Western
league. probably the only time
such a play ever was made. Lin
coin had runners on second and
third. A Lincoln batter sent a
Texas Lacquer to right field. The
fielder got the ball on the first
bound and sent it tipping toward
the plate.
1t so happened that the rum
ner on second was much speed
Ter than the runner ON third.
He was close on the heels of the
third base runner when the lat
ter started for the plate. The
throw beat the first man by
about two feet. and all the catch
err had to do was to reach out
and tag him. In the meantime
the fellow who had been on sec.
ond came along so fast that he
didn't have time to slow up
when he saw the runner ahead
Of him tagged out. So he took a
chance and slid for the plate.
The catcher tagged him. and he
also was out. making two put
outs On one assist. Wichita evil
IDENTIFY made history by this play.

 In connection with the registration Of vital statistics under the present ,aw as set forth in said chapter s5 ofI tho 1913 Session Laws, the following suggestions and recommendation are respectfully submitted:
 E. Said act requires a record or the births. deaths and marriages ID the territory 60 be made first, in the office ol Inc United States commissioner second in the office of the clerk Of the district court; and finally, in the office of the secretary Of Alaska, thus creat- ing three separate and distinct offices .of record
