MAY BE ABLE TO
LOCATE DEEP WELLS

Engineering Experiment Station
of Missouri Is Obtaining Data
on Artesian Water in State.
The department of geology
and the Engineering Expert
ment Station Of the University
of Missouri are now obtaining
Information on all new deep
wells that are being drilled in
the state for artesian water.
1T is hoped in time to collect
complete information for perma-
nent record as to the occurance
of artesian waters in the state
of Missouri" says E. j. Nc
Ca~ustland, dean of the School of
Engineering. "This is a matter
of prime Importance to the small
towns OF the state whose p0pu-
lation is now served with water
from surface streams subject to
possible contamination"
Whenever a deep well is being
sunk in Missouri, a representa-
tive of the geology department
is sent out to get samples of the
strata. These samples are filed
in cases at Columbia.
In time it is hoped that sufi-
cient information will be obtain
ed to enable Missourians to find
out where water can be obtain
ed and at what depth.

BEWARE OF TOO

Healthful, However.
Beware of drinking too much

effects.
There is no objection to drink

is well cooled" said Doctor Raw

of ice water are dangerous, es-

Doctor Ravenel said that ex-

drinking of water in fairly large
quantities increases metabolism,
in other words that the pro-

Eighteen Thousand Libraries.

AASHN~NA
There are over $4,000 regular.
ly established Libraries in the
United States, containing more
than $4,000, 900 volumes, &C.
cording to statistics just COM
piled by the United States
Bureau of Education. The num-
Der of volumes is an increase of
10000, 900 since 1908.
Of the 2,849 libraries contain
ing 5000 volumes or over, 1874
are classified as public and So
ciety libraries" and 1,0O5 are
school and college libraries.
Public and society libraries have
an aggregate of over fifty mil
lion volumes, with seven million
borrowers cards in force; LAS
of these Libraries were entirely
free to the public.
Libraries reporting from 1000
to 5000 volumes numbered s.
453, of which 2,188 were public
and society libraries, and 1886
school libraries. These libraries
contained 1885, 42 volumes.
Another group of still smaller
libraries, comprising those that
reported from 300 to 1000 vol
umes, increased the total by g.
961,007 volumes.
The distribution of library
facilities is still uneven. Of the
1874 public and society libraries
reported for the entire United
States, more than half were in
the North Atlantic States, and
they contained "a, 627, 1921 vol
umes added to library collect
ions for the year 1918, almost
one-half were for the same Sec
ton. New York State had T.
842,621 volumes in her 214 IL
braries, Massachusetts, $780,
.024 in 2S8 libraries; Pennsyl-
vania, 9,728, O7O; and Illinois, g.
168, 765 volumes. Four-fifth of
the borrowers cards in use were
in the North Atlantic and North
Central States.
Library activity for the past
year was marked, according to
the Bureau of Education report,
by considerable extension of
Cne Dranch system, particularly
in the granting of library priv
ileges on the part of cities to
neighboring suburban commu-
mites; by further development
of the country library plan in
many States and in general by
a visible growth in the spirit of
service that is characteristic of
many of the formal educational
institutions of to-day. The
period of the library as a mere
storehouse of books seems to be
safely past; it has yielded to a
period of direct community ser
vice."

gent Of exporters want from President

refusal to modify the British order-in-

A combined effort is to be made to

the movement Packers. whose ship
ments consistently have been held up

with the formidable aggregate array
the combine is confident Of forcing

err The plan Of the combine is to de-
mand that the allies cease interfer-
ence with all shipments consigned "a
neutral countries. In the event of
refusal Of this demand they would
call an extra session Of congress and
place an embargo upon shipments to
the allies
They will seek to have the presi-
dents note 10 England fix a time limit

be accepted and this would amount
to an ultimatum Failing to succeed

porters will wait until the next regu-
las session and will then make a
strong fight to have their program,
designed to force a recognition Of
their rights, put through. They al
ready are arranging for a publicity
campaign in support Of their position.
Their view is that submarine warfare,
with the resultant loss of American
lives. is overshadowed by the damage
resulting from the blockade of the al

Totally blind for the past fifteen

best known musicians suddenly re-
gained sight Of one eye yesterday
afternoon and is today the happiest
man In the whole country.
He is looking for his first time up
on the face Of the wife who has
been his loyal helpmeet for thirteen
years Of his darkness and is behold
ing for the first time his ten year old
son. Likewise he is becoming ac-
quainted with the faces of friends
whose voices he has known for years
and is gazing with delight upon the
streets which he has traversed with
out seeing
He was walking in the business
district OF the city when his vision
returned to him. He had entered the
East Oregonian office at $3.50 and
had been helped up the steps by a
boy He left few minutes later and
had gone but half block when he
was seized with a dizziness. Think
ing he had become overheated and
might be having a sunstroke, he
stopped Blue flashes suddeny be-
gan to appear before his right eye,
following each other at intervals and
lengthenng Suddenly objects began
to form before him during the
flashes and he made out telegraph
poles, buildings and persons.
Amazed and incredulous, he made
his way TO the office OF a physician
who tested his eyes and discovered
that vision had returned to the riGht
either temporarily or permanently
He warned Mr.. Guiott that he might
be blind again by morning NO. l

Despite his feeling OF self-assur-

his opportunity OF seeing all that he
could while his sight was with him
He hastened home TO his wife AMI son
who were quite as overioyed as he
He called up his friends over the
telephone to let them know Of his
good fortune and he accepted the in

had known intimately for years but
whom he had never seen, to take a

Mr.. Guiott came here is years ago
and at that time could see indis-
tinctly out Of one eye. For fifteen
years. however, he had never been
able to see the physical part of his
home town and during the evening
as he rode about in the auto, he ex-
claimed in pure delight at the many
buildings and improvements new to
him. He read the signs on the store
