Ergot is Fungus Growth.

"Ergot is caused by definite fungus
which is supposed TO gain entrance to
the rye plant, or whatever the host plant
may be, when the flowers of the plant
are very young" according to Agrono-
mist A. n. Hume, who explains further
ut gains entrance thus to the ovule sack
or carpet. There it starts growth and
develops through the grain fruit, while
the latter grows.
The fungus requires about the same
length of time for it to complete its pro-
cess of growth as is required by the nor
NAL grain. When this is completed,
the results the dark grain-shaped bodies
called sclerotia. These scleroiia may be
brought to termination probably the
following spring and these give rise to
new spores, which in turn may reinfect
plants the following year.
Control Of ergot consists in proper
precaution in the selection of seed, to-
gether with thorough preparation of the
land. This is said to Obviate any dan
ger IN the case of rye. As indicated
ergot appears not only on rye but also
blue grass, western wheat grass and
others"

TRAFFIC IN BABIES
 IS FACT

BALTIMORE, Dec. 21-An exhaust i've report of the inquiry of the state wide vice commission was made pub lie. One of the sensational features is the alleged traffic in babies. It is asserted that investigators found in stituuons in Baltimore where a moth CT of an illegitimate child would con sign the offspring, upon the payment of an agreed sum, and forever rid herself of responsibility. The com mission ayers that between eighty and ninety per cent of such children die. They are buried in heaps in small plots One plot. fifty five feet square. has been the tomb of five thousand babies since 1866.
 The high death rate is attributed to the separation of the infant from its mother at birth. thereby depriving it of individual attention. No evidence was adduced that the babies were ne. glected at the institutions.
 Much attention is given. to social conditions in factories, stores and office buildings. Many instances are given of immortality forced upon girls by their employers or supporters al their places of employment. The penalty of refusal being the loss of their position. The board believes the continuation of the inquiry is de i sirable and recommends the creation of a permanent morals board

BIGGEST TAX SEASON IN
 HISTORY
Healthy Condition of BiSbee is h. dicated By the Showing Made in Collection of the WhereWith- al to Run the City.
FEWER DELlNQUENClES
 THAN EVER RECORDED
Amount Received By James Ali son, City Marshal and TaXCol- leCtor, During Month Win Ap- proximate S90,000;

The biggest collections in the history of the city ot Bisbee are those which have just been made in the 1915 tax collecting period by he City Marshall and Tax Col 'cctcr. James Allison. the books of which were closed last evening and which will be turned over to City Clerk Butler and to the City Auditor J. F.. Connolly. at once.
 With the taxes. which have been mailed and which are in transit and known to the city mar shal. the sum collected during the present month, from personal property alone, amounts to the staggering sum of approximately $50. 900. The amount collected so far this month and totaled last evening by Allison. amounts 10 S75.S9535. There are several a. mounts ,aggregating $5,000, which have been mailed and which will come within the time of the col lecting period
 The budget for the year, called for personal taxes in the sum of approximately S9TOOO Since the tax books were made up and the notices sent out. which took place on October 10, after the rate had been made by the city council, the Marshal has collected the sum of S95.923.19. The personal tax col lections. since January l, 1915, to- tai S9S.293.56
 In comparison to last year the showing made by the city of Bis bee and the City Marshal are re- markable and disclose the health fest condition possible for the community During the month of December, last year, the tax col lections amounted to approximate ly S74.OOO. This included the whole month while the above fig ures do not include the money which will be paid today and which will come in during the bal ance of the month.
 Again. this year the percentage of delinquent taxes is smaller by a considerable margin than ever in the history of the city. Mar shal Allison stated last night, af- ter spending about fifteen hours in his office, that he believed. had the laws enabled him 10 hold his books open another day, when the Copper Queen would have paid its host of employees. the delinquent list would have been reduced to practically nothing.
 Beginning this morning there win be a penalty attached O the payment of taxes. The laws pro- vide for a penalty of four per cent and, in addition. one per cent per month, interest. for all delin quencies. IL is thought, however that today will see a great propor ton of those who allowed theii property to get on the delinquent list appearing at the office to pay their taxes.

FlFTY-YEAR SEARCH ENDS
p. c. Grimes, Aged seventy-Five, Finds
Lost Sister After Spending Much
Time and Money.

Altus, OKLA search of fifty years,
extending over a dozen different states
and twenty-five counties in Oklahoma,
during the progress of which a small
fortune was expended in an advertis-
ing campaign, ended at Blair when P.
c. Grimes of Nebraska City, Neb.,
stepped from an Orient passenger
train into the arms of his sister, Mrs.
D. w. Jones of Altus.
Mr.. Grimes is seventy-five years old.
Fifty years ago, after the marriage of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones, the family broke
up. After few years they lost trace
of each other and all efforts to get
into communication were unayailing.
Mr.. Grimes then began his search.
1t was a mere accident that Grimes
finally found his sister. He had writ
ten a letter to her, directed to Rix,
a post Office in Green county, long
since discontinued. The letter was
thrown to Mangum, and Postmaster
G.. B. Townsend, who happened to be
personally acquainted with Mrs. Jones,
forwarded the letter to her.

STIMULATION OF BUSINESS.

The Chicago Banker, a bank period
cal, gives under Iowa Banking
News" the following statement;
"Des Moines banks did a big bust
ness Saturday, supplying cash to mer-
chants and grocers. At first the cause
for the sudden demand for coin was
not apparent to the financiers. Then
they realized that the saloons OF the
city had been closed a week. Work
men, who had been cashing their
checks in the thirst parlors on Sat
urday nights and leaving a goodly
share of the exchange in the saloon
keepers till were. instead, getting
them cashed In legitimate places of
business. Des Moines has been dry
two weeks now. If business has been
injured. as the vets so long predicted,
there is no evidence Of that fact. AL
ready the merchants see a stimulation
of business, and money which former
ly went for booze is already beginning
to go for food and clothing and in the
payment Of honest debts"
