TYPHuS IN SERBIA DEADLY
TO DOCTORS AND NURSES S

Belgrade Serbia, July 9.-Official fig
ures show that 25 per cent of the Ser
bian doctors have died in the past nine
months. Most of them were victims
of typhus; only one was killed in bat
tie.
In the war between Serbia and Tur-
key in 1912-1913, only two Serbian doc
tors lost their lives. out of a total Of
three hundred employed on war duty.
OF the foreign doctors who have
come to Serbia since last August, 80
have died. all of typhus or typhoid.
The list of dead includes four Ameri-
cans. three British, two Belgians, six
Austrians, and a number of Greeks.
These figures, of course. do not in
clude the considerable number of med
ical students, nurses and other Red
Cross workers who have succumbed to
the epidemics.

BETTER SCHOOLS
ARE NEEDED BY
He FAR N { RS
JOHN FIELDS BEFORE BANKERS
FARMERS CONFERENCE SAYS
MEN ARE LURED BY EDUcA-
TIONAL ADVANTAGES.


tural schools and experts from the
federal department OF agriculture,
met here Thursday for the second ses-
sion of a two-days' conference on the
relations between bankers and farm
ers. Consideration of economic and
practical difficulties in the extension
of the work of the agricultural com
mission on the American Bankers as
sociation was taken up.
Among the addresses made Thurs
day was one by John Fields of Okla
homa City, editor of the Oklahoma
Farm Journal. Mr., Fields said in
part:
"The concentration of facilities for
transportation. communication, ana
education, has built cities and towns
at the expense of agricultural devel-
opment.
"The diffusion of these facilities
among all those who live on the land
and farm it will build the whole com
munity and there will then be agri-
cultural development to keep pace
with the growth of commerce.
The Business Farmer.
Rural telephones, parcel post, bet
ter roads, and motor vehicles make 1t
possible for man to stay on his farm
and do business. He has almost the
same facilities for carrying on his
business as are enjoyed by those who
live in town.
But the business farmer cannot
continue living in the average coun-
try community.
"He must move to town to send
the children to school just about the
time he gets properly organized for
business on his farm. And he moves
by the thousands every year, to the
great loss of the country communities
and of the towns as well.
There is the real problem of com
munity building which every banker
should study. Increased production
more profits from farming will not
solve it. The prosperous farmers are
those who are lured from the land
not by the city's bright lights, but by
the city's well organized schools,
Average intelligence the Basis
"The foundation of our government
is the average intelligence of all of Its
citizens. AS measure of self-pro
lection, if nothing higher, the state
should send at least as much money
to advance the opportunities for ele
mentary education of children as i
does to provide facilities for higher
education of very few.
"If you would build the whole com
mnity, begin with the country schools
Develop them until there is no reason
whatever for moving to town to senC
the children to school. Help estab
lsh in the country schools such al
you would willingly use for the ele
mentary and high school education o
your own children. You will quickl.
find that many other problems sucl
as diminishing production and increas
ing tenantry, will cease to exist.
Build the whole of your communi
ty by making all of the conditions o
life as desirable on farms as on tow
or city lots. Less than this will no
work for permanent agricultural ant
community betterment."

Persons from Cushing state that
there have been 100 steel tanks de-
stroyed in that field by fire. In near
ly every instance the fire was caused
by lightning. Each one of the tanks
contained $4,000 barrels of oil. That
means that five and half million bar
rels of oil have been destroyed by
fire. If each barrel of oil is worth
to commerce so, the total loss to the
world would be fifty-five million dol
lars. The state has collected some
thing like two million dollars in taxes
on storage oil Strict conservation of
oil would be an order that would pre-
vent the taking of oil from the sand
when there is not immediate use for
it.

For several months there has been
much talk of decline of production in
the Healdton field Writers tell of the
decline, but generally wind up their
story by saying that the field is max
ing about 265,000 barrels. While the
field has been declining recently,
there is still a vast production there.
Fifty wells are now on the sand there
ready to be drilled in. While there are
those who say that demand for Heald-
ton oil depends upon the Cushing pro
duction, yet there are the best of rea-
sons for believing that there will be
a demand for every barrel of Healdton
crude before the end of the year, re-
gardless of conditions at Gushing.

VICTOR MURDOCH COMING
TO MEICO CHAUTAUQUA

The news dispatches, sent out from
New York, state Congressman Victor
Murdoch, of Kansas, has been chosen
chairman of the National Committee
of the Progressive Party.
This is the job that was so ably
handled by former Senator Dixon, and
puts Murdoch in the very front rank
of the Bull M~oosers. II will be recall
ed that Senator Dixon set a lively
pace in managing Roosevelt's cam
paign. There was something doing
every minute and everything was set
on a high hill and displayed for all it
was worth.
Hon. Victor Murdoch has made
quite a stir in Kansas and the Nation.
He is undoubtedly a man Of parts and,
so far, has made a great success of
everything he has undertaken, but
this is a job somewhat different from
anything he has tackled before and it
remains to be seer what he will make
out of il. The Hon. Murdoch is one of
the orators who is billed to appear at
our Chautauqua this summer.

HIGH SCHOOL Y. M. c. A.
MEETING AND LUNCH

The Mcmillan high school Young
Mems Christian Association held its
regular semi-monthly meeting and
luncheon in the Domestic Science de-
partment of the school, Thursday
evening at 6 o'clock. About 80 boys
and men were in attendance. The
lunch of beans, sandwiches, coffee and
pickles were served by a committee
of three students who prepared the
food.
The topic of the meeting was the
relation of school to the students in
after life. Those who made short
talks in the discussion were: the
Rev. w. A. Shullenberger E. B.
Street, L. NJ. White, R. o. Bromagin,
Harry Rose, Archie Rogers, Sam
Locke, Morris Middleton and Glenn
Squires. Chas. Wright presided.
Many of the boys at the luncheon
were students who did not belong to
the organization and had been invited
to be present and become members.
1t was inspiring to hear these young
boys discuss the subject with a full
Christian view of the relationship of
-.
right living and education to success.
The Mcmillan Y. M. C. A. is doing a
great work and should be encouraged
in every way possible.
