FIRST u. S. SHIP SUNK
BY MINE IN NORTH SEA
Evelyn, With Cargo of Gotten, Goes
Down Off German Coast, Out
side of New War Zone.

Bremen, Germany, Feb. 21.-The
American steamer Evelyn, which sail
ed from New York on January 20
with a cargo of cotton for Bremen
struck mine yesterday off Borkum
Island in the North Sea.
The vessel sank Her captain and
~ of her crew were saved.
The nationality of the mine which
destroyed the Evelyn has not been
established.
(The Evelyn is the first American
vessel to meet with disaster as re-
suit of the sea warfare on the Euro
pean nations. She did not sink in
the war zone included in the Ger
man admiralty's decree of February
4, which went into effect on Thurs
day. Borkum Island lies directly off
the German coast, at the mouth of
Ems river, and is German territory.
Maritime records give the compile
ment of the Evelyn at 20 men, so 1t
is probable that all on board were
rescued.
The Evelyn was a single screw
steel steamship and was commanded
by Capt Smith. She belonged to A.
H. Bull & Co., of New York, and was
chartered by the Harriss-lrby Cotton
Company of oklahoma City, Ok, to
take a cargo of cotton to Bremen.

An Appreciation.
Or of the Press:

Editor of the Press:
In common with school people all
over the state, we are grateful for
the efforts of your papers in the late
fight on the county high schools.
The battle is over and the victory is
gratifying, and the wisdom of your
position and of the state senate's ac-
ton in continuing to support the
county high school, rests on the
following incontrovertible facts:
This law has been in operation
nearly four years, the high schools
have been greatly benefited and their
doors thrown open to the country
boys and girls.
The terms of the rural schools
have not been shortened one day,
nor has the salary of the common
school teacher been reduced one cent.
On the contrary the length of the
common school and the salary of the
teachers have both been increased
during the time.
Outside of Paragould and Marina
duke there are close to five thousand
children enrolled in the public
schools of the county. AS there are
81 districts, the average number of
pupils to the district is fifty. This
average will hold good all over the
state. The cost of state aid to high
schools is only four dollars to the
district, instead of eight dollars.
This sum would pay one pupils tut
ton for one month in the high
scoool.
The common districts of the state
have $1,40O,O00 idle surplus unused,
in the county treasures, left over
each year after. the common free
schools are maintained as long as
the boards care to run the schools.
Out of this unused balance to the
credit of the common districts the
aid to the county high schools is
taken. Great good is being accom-
plished, and far greater results will
accrue when all country boys and
girls realize the city high school is
thrown open to them. No interest is
being injured, and great and increas-
ing good will follow the opening of
the high schools to rural children;
it therefore follows that the action
of the state senate, and the course
of your papers, are both dictated by
sound and patriotic considerations.

to another is probably the surest way
OF carrying the disease. However,
when hogs that die of cholera are al
lowed to lie in the open and decay,
birds, dogs or any animal that comes
in contact with them can very easily
carry the disease to the surrounding
country.
Crows and birds that carry the in.
lection on their feet can easily visit
dozens Of feeding lots in a day, thus
injecting the healthy herds. Dogs
quite frequently carry the infection by
running through different pens. BY
merely walking through infected pens
or handling infected hogs, may may
spread the disease to herds that have
not been infected before.
Sometimes the farmer is at loss to
know how his hogs became infected
when all the hogs in the Immediate
vicinity are healthy. This can usually
be explained by one Of the factors pre-
viously mentioned, namely, that 1t has
been carried from infected pens many
miles away by birds, dogs, men and
other agencies. G. L. Macarthur.
