Inspect bitches

W. r. Ayers, engineer of the Der
mott Drainage District. spent yester-
day in Dermott and he in company with
Drainage Commissioners w. ID. Trotter
and W 7. Daniels went to Blissville,
where with F. l.. Gregory, the other
member of the Drainage Board, they
made a tour of inspection of drainage
ditch No. y. usually called the Bliss
vile lateral. They report five miles
already dug. and say that beyond the
old brake the ditch is in good shape
and as pretty as can be. Ii now con-
tains about eight or nine feet of
water.
The commissioners wish to state
that they expect to have the gap be-
tween the Desha County ditch and our
ditch cleared and the debris burned as
soon as it is dry enough. The gap be-
tween the two bitches is approximately
two miles long, and a right of way has
already been cleared and will be kept
open and in good shape
The Drainage Board meets regularly
the first "Wednesday of each month,
and between these meetings and all
the time the Commissioners are on the
Job to see that the work is properly
carried on The ditch at the brake
will show up alright when the debris is
burned. as il will be soon.

Prevention of Pellagra.

The United States Public Health
Service has recently issued a phamphlet
on the treatment and prevention OF

owing To the prevalence OF the disease

HIGH COST OF LIVING
is BEGINNING TO LOWER

NEW YORK The cost Of living
which in September, 1914, reached
the highest point it had touched for
years, now shows an appreciable de-
cline according to statlstims whieb
have just been collected here. Fig
ures covering twenty-five commodi-
ties Of ordinary consumption arrang-
ed to represent the purchases Of an
average family show a collective de-
cline of approximately Is per cent
as compared with one year ago, and
are very close to the level they occu-
pied before the outbreak Of the Eu-
ropean war. The heavy crops Of
fruits and cereals raised in the Unit
ed States this year have proved the
chief factor in bringing about more
reasonable scale Of prices The
greatest declines have taken place in
the cost Of flour and sugar, the for
mer having declined one and one
half cents and the latter two cents
a pound. At the beginning Of the
war last year there was a veritable
flour panic among the housewives OF
the country who rushed to lay in
heavy supplies for fear Of a short
age, but the harvesting Of the great
est wheat crop in the history Of the
country has dissipated all alarm on
this score. In the case Of sugar It IS
explained that the large crop Of
sugar which Is just now
coming to market has forced the re-
finers Of imported sugar to reduce
their prices, which have been held
at high level since the beginning Of
the war. It is declared bg those IA
mlliar with the industry that the
present is an opportune time for AM
erlcan sugar growers to expand their
business and that II the free sugar
law Is repealed az now seems to be
hkely they will be able TO produce
enough sugar 70 furnish keen COM
petition with the refiners at all sea-
sons. and TO keep the price Of sugar
low throughout the year.

? Community eivics helps the child
TO know the meaning of his commu-
nlty life. not merely a lot Of facts
about it." says a bulletin just issued
by the U. S. bureau of education at
Washington, This bulletin was pre-
pared by four members of the COM
mittee on social studies of the Ma
tinal Education Association, DR.. J.
Lynn Barnard, School of Pedagogy,
Philadelphia; f. w. Carrier, principal
OF Wilmington, Mass, high schools:
Arthur w. Dunn, specialist in civic
education, U. S bureau Of education;
and Clarence D. Kingsley of the
Massachusetts board Of education.
THE significance of the term conf
munity civics does not lie in its geo.
graphical implications" says the bull
letin, "but applies this point Of view
to the national community as we'll.
Emphasis is laid upon the local COM
munity because it is the one with
which every child-ctizen has most
intimate relations, and for that rea-
actual cooperation with it."
The authors of the bulletin make
clear that the term citizenship is
used broadly, The good citizen"
they say, sis a person who habitual-
ly conducts himself with proper re-
gard for the welfare of the commu-
nifty of which he is a member and is
active and intelligent in his coopera-
tion with his fellow members to that
end
Community civics, according to the
bulletin, should be taught in the ele-
mentary grades of the public schools
and should be continued in a more
comprehensive course in the first
year of the high school ''Many pu-
pills do not enter high school at all;
and those who do should already have
begun to acquire habits of civic
thought and action. The greater ma
-urity of the high school pupil makes
possible the development of phases
If the subject that are impracticable

many NOAA oCS al ClN4CS LdAls lAlC
authors think, because they fix at
ention upon the machinery of gov
rnment rather than upon the ele-
nents of community welfare for which .
he government exists. They famil-
arize the pupil with the man!pula-
ion of the social machinery without
howing him the importance of the

, not complete unless 1t leaves with
ne pupil a sense Of his responsibility,
nd results in right action. To at
lin these ends is perhaps the most
ifficult and delicate task of the
.acher."
Much civic instruction" declares
le bulletin, has been ineffective be-
luse it has left the pupil to work
1T for himself the application of gen.
.al principles. The translation of
rinciples into conduct is more dif-
cult than the comprehension Of the
-inciples themselves. While we urge
lat the citizen should engage in

fers, it is necessary to cultivate a
otive sufficiently strong to lead him
,tually to do so. This motive is to

Russian pianist will receive
$56, 900 for tour with New York

$4,000 for seventy performances with
the New York symphony Orchestra,

GUS organization which begins March
16, 1916. The orchestra will play
forty cities on the way to the Pacific
and thirty cities on the way back to
New York City. This is the largest
sum ever paid a soloist on any tour
ever devised in the territory of Musi-
cal America. The remarkable feature
of this engagement IS that this huge
sum is paid for IS hours Of gpianistic
effort as none of the concertOs which
Mr.. Hoffman, will program will eX'
coed thirty minutes. While it may be
recalled that Ignace Paderewski has
been paid a higher sun per concert
the fact remains that the Polish plan
list had to give a program of at least
two hours duration without encores to
gain his fee. Mr.. Hofmann's concert
fee is said to be ever higher than that
of the great Polish v%irtuoso but on
account of his long friendship with
| Walter Damrorch, the dean Of Amerl'
can conductors, he has consented to
make this notable contract with the
New York Symphony Orchestra. Once

somewhat similar proportions was ar
ranged Wien Theodore Thomas and

1t will be recalled that Josef Hoffman,
is the only living pupils of the great
Rubinstein and that the present Hot

Simple Remedy.

A simple but eficacious steam rem
edy for cold in the head and hoarse-
ness is to inhale steam from a sponge
dipped in boiling water. Cover the
sponge with boiling water, wrap a
towel around it so that you can hold
the ends of the towel instead of the
scalding sponge. Bury your nose and
mouth in the covered sponge and
breathe through nose and mouth.
When the sponge loses heat, remove
the towel and pour on some more boil
ing water.
Cold compress is an excellent and
easy cure for sore throat. Wrap cloths
wrung out in iced water round the
throat and renew rs soon as they
grow warm.

From ENGLAND to Russia.

Intercourse between Russia and
England began in the middle OF tho
sixteenth century by the one route
that is still open, via the White Sea.
It was a hazardous and costly voyage,
the London Chronicle observes. The
crews of two Of the three ships with
which Richard Chancellor made his
first trip in 1853 were frozen to
death, Sir Hugh Willoughby among
them. On his second venture, In
1855, Chancellor brought back with
him q Russian ambassador, Osip Ne
lea. Two of the ships were never
heard Of again, and the Edward Bona
ventura, after four months at sea,
wac wrecked on the Scottish coast.
Chancellor, many Of the crew and
seven Russians persisted, but Osip
Nejar was among the survivors, and
the English lords and merchants went
out in state beyond %Shoreditch to vel
come this duke Of Muscovia.'
