THE EHOOKWORMDISEASE

) A Texas commission that has been
Investigating the hoolworm disease
Sin that State reports that 35 per cent
.of children, in the areas closely COW
sered were found to be infected. The
Enquiry covered an area of $4,000
.square miles with 100000 inhabi-
stants. This density of population
swould suggest that considerable
surban proportion was included, and
wherefore that even among the chill
.dren of the towns the disease must
:be prevalent to striking extent. II
shas commonly been regarded as pc.
.culiarly trouble affecting the rural
population.
: Not since quinine was discovered
las the greatest specific in the cate
sgory of medicine, has there been any
sscientific development relating to the
shealth of mankind that concerned
:more people than the hookworm cru
tsade. If the treatment for hookworm
sdisease has not actually saved sc
smany lives as has the vaccination OF
.people against smallpox, it yet re-
sfnains true, in all probability, that a
sfar greater number of people suffer
from hookworm than ever die
.from smallpox, and that the eco
.nomic loss from hookworm i.
sgreater than from any Other
seasily preventable trouble. There i!
mo uncertainty about the disease, its
scause, its treatment, or it's cure. The
zone and only problem is to get thu
scheap and necessary cure to the vic
stims and to induce them to use it
I'm this work the Rockefeller Hook
worm Commission has undertaken
snot only nationwide but a world
.wide enterprise in which it has en-
listed the cooperation of States ant
snations. The hookworm afflicts tn,
tropical and subtropical regions en-
.tirely around the world, representing
"a majority of its population. 1t il

treason, that the superiority of tn,

THE MARINE BAND

The twenty-fifth anniversary of
Lieut.. William H. Santlemann's con-
nection with the Marine Band, in
cluding the past seventeen years dur
ing which he has been it's leader, is a
fitting occasion for Washingtonians
to recall the notable development of
this historical organization under
his leadership.
The Marine Band, the Presidents
band, corresponding very closely to
the famous royal bands of Europe,
is an institution in Washington be-
cause of it's weekly concerts at the
Capitol and the White House in sum-
mer, and at the Marine Barracks the
year around. More than that, it has
won national prestige, and it's vari-
Gus tours around the country have
made it famous in all corners of the
United States.
Few know that the history of this
band dates back to 1885, the year in
which John Adams approved an act
organizing the Marine Corps. In
that act provision was made for six
teen drummers and sixteen fifers,
and that was the nucleus for the Ma
rine Band. Later thirteen Italian
musicians were brought to this coun-
try to be enlisted, and then it began
to assume the aspect of military
band. AS early as 1854 it began to
give public concerts. President Lin
coin affixed his signature to meas
ure which enlarged the band, and
made possible it's regular concerts
but the most notable advance was
made shortly after Lieutenant San
tlemann became leader and the bant
was increased to thirty first-clas.
musicians, thirty second-class mu
sicians, ten privates, drum major
and a first and second leader. TIL.
present roster of the band is seven
ty-three members, on the foregoing
basis.
Under Lieutenant Santlemann's di
rection the orchestra, used at tn,
winter public concerts and at stat,
functions, was developed. Under him
also, thesband has undertaken play
ing compositions of a sort rarel.
undertaken by other bands. The rem
dition of these is made possibl,
largely by the fact that the member
of the band, being enlisted men, ma,
be called upon daily for rehearsals
while, in private organizations, thes
rehearsals must be paid for, an,
therefore are curtailed.
The band has developed man,
notable musicians, such as Arthu
Pryor. and it's leaders have include,
Francis Scala, Henry Fries, Loui
Schneider, John Philip Sousa, an
francesca Fanciulli.

J. A. Hcatwole came To Fairmount
In March. 1907. from HarrisonburE.

acres. Last year no farmed his own
place and rented 30 acres adjoining.
His crop report for the year 1914 Is
excellent. Fourteen acres Of beets
produced an average yield Of IL
tons per acre. Eight acres Of oats
averaged as bushels per acre. He
also has 10 acres Of alfalfa and six
acres Of wheat.
Mr.. Heatwole Is another farmer
who believes thoroughly In the stock

eight brood mares. both Perchcron
and Belgian stock. and their colts

year. In 1919 he sold his crop for
17.700 and in 1913 for $1,000. One
year he sold the cantaloupe SEED
from fourteen acres for 31.747.ll.
The beets from seventeen measured
acres brought him 1854. This is
about the way his crops run year

1874 tons to the acre and the av-
crage price he received for them was

Most Of the farmers around La
Junta are going into dairying. but
the largest dairy herd we found was
on the farm Of J. ~. Hershey. about
three miles west Of town. Mr.. Her
shcy himself. Is. aud has been for
some years. superintendent Of the
Mennonite Sanitarium and the farm
and dairy herd Is being managed by
his three sons.
The farm consists OF 30 acres.
Twenty-Five acres Of beets showed an
average yield Of IL tons. Twenty.
five acres Of oats yielded Ss bushels
per acre. The remainder Of the
farm is In alfalfa. Several years
ago they came to the conclusion that
II they wished TO continue growing
beets. II would be necessary 70 find
some means Of building up the
ground. and dairyins was decided
on m being the best factor for this
purpose. They now have q herd Of
thirty-eight COWS and heifers and
twenty-eight calves. They have SIX
