$50 which was prepared under the
direction of r. B. aMrshall, chief ge
,ographer, contains more than 1000 az
curate heights above mean sea leve
and includes elevations determined
by the Coast and Geologic survey
and by the corps of Engineers of The
United States Army, as we'll as those
by the Geological Survey.
The work in Iowa since 1907 has
been carried on in cooperation with
the state in 81 of its 90 counties.
The United States Geological Sur
vey has published more than so bull
letins giving elevations in different
parts of the limited States, and one
bulletin for the Hawaiian Islands
These books are proving of great
value to engineers whose duties re
quire a knowledge Of accurate eleva
tions above sea level. The bulletins
are in fact guides to the bench marks
that have been set by the Government
engineers, Tor while the numbers
stamped on the bench marks repre-
sent the elevations to the nearest
foot as determined by the levelman,
the bulletins give the exact elevations
to a thousanths of foot.

were but g. This is life conservation
in the true sense of the term why
not entirely eliminate the disease
this year?" asks the United States
Public Health Service.
The blank cartridge wound is the
great cause of Fourth of July tetanus.
When driven into the tissues the
lwadding carries with it innumerablo
bacilli, and the absorption of the
poisonous products given off during
the growth of these organisms pro,
Iduces the diseases. The bacilli thrive
only in the absence of oxygen. 1t is
for this reason that the physician en-
llarges the. wound of inlet and after
removing all foreign material, dress
es the injury in such a manner that
development of the organisms is in
Inhibited. In order to accomplish this
it is usually necessary to administer
Ia general anaesthetic. Anti-tetanic
Iserum is of great value as a prophy-
Tactic measure, but it should be given
soon after the receipt of the injury
Parents should realize that Fourth
of Judy tetanuS is easy to prevent
but extremely difficult to cure. No
blank cartridge wound is too trivial
to receive medical attention. How
ever slight the injury may appear,
summon a physician and at once
adopt energetic measures. Reliance
upon home treatment may prove dis
astrous and result in the sacrifice of
life. In 1903, before the widespread
recognition of the possibilities OF
preventive treatment, one case of
tetanus developed to every blank
cartridge wounds reported; in 1914
there was but one case to every forty
such injuries. This is the measure
of the success Of preventive treat
ment.

We expect him to make a fine record

is. He is clean and broad minded,
and will enter congress much as lid

We should not be surprised to see

faculty of thinking a great deal and
not saying much and comes from the
common people. He is not an ariSto-
crat. Men of the people and who
never lose sight of the fact that they
are sent to the halls of congress to
serve the people are always remem-
bered by the people. Long life and
much happiness to Congressman and

OUR osKALoosA POET.

Des Moines Register & Leader: A
small collection of verse by Nal Rose
the Oskaloosa bard, is entitled jim
gle-Ology" and contains number OF
clever rhymes with the wholesome OF
timism and homely sentiment for
which this writer is known. The fol
owl is typical of the cheerful lines to
be found in this attractive little vol
ume:
Midnight can't last all the time,
And so we ought to Love 1t.
We learn that daylight is sublime
By just the absence of it.
And though the darkness seems all
wrong
And life is void and hollow,
There never was a night so long
But day was sure to follow.
Heartaches can't last all the while,
And so we ought to love them.
They teach us that the more we smile
The less we're fearful of them.
And smiling helps us bear our load
OF moral doubt and yearning,
AS hopefully we tread the road.
Which seems to have no turning.
Winter can't last all the time,
And so we ought to love it;
For summers scorching, tOrrid cline,
Is proof, and plenty of it.
And though we suffer griefS untold
In truth we shouldn't mind it,
For winter can't be long nor cold
With spring so close behind it.
Shadows can't last all the while,
The sun is sure to chase them.
Troubles vanish when smile
Is ready to replace them.
The soul that darkness would destroy
The heart so plunged in sorrow,
Will best appreciate the joy
That comes with each tomorrow.

AS TO THE GoVERNoRsHvP.

We were surprised to read in thai
rabid Primary Election paper, The
| Marshalltown Times Republican. z
suggestion that all candidates for the
Republican Nomination for Governor
with two exceptions be eliminated anL
that these two names only 20 on the
Primary ba"ats. 1t looks to us that
such proca re would defeat the
very object OF primary. and would
be more Of G.. and dried plan OF
selecting candidatas than the old
caucus and convention plan.
We are in favor of a large field of
candidates with plenty of rivalry and
publicity, that the people may read
for themselves and decide on whom
they want to represent them on the
ticket in the fall. And speaking about
candidates, the Herald knows of no
better man for the place than, Charles
A. Rawson of Des Moines, Chairman
of the Iowa Republican Central Com
mittee. Mr.. RawsOn is a business man
of the first water, and If elected Gov
ernor would give Iowa a business ad-
ministration He is at the head of the
Iowa Brick and Tile Works of Des
Moines, and has made great success
OF his own business. As an organizer
he has proven his ability by the way
he managed Senator Kenyon's cam
psign, and the force and good judg-
ment he has injected into the affairs
of the State Committee.
BY all means let us have a good
held of candidates II will then be
easier to pick good wheel horse
like Mr.. Rawson, who IL nominated
would carry almost every county in
the state.

PASSENGER PIGEONS.

Recent widespread newspaper &C
counts to the effect that the United
States Department of Agriculture is
offering $4,000 reward to the persD
finding a passenger or wool pigeon
nest containing two eggs, resulted in
hundreds OF letters being sent to the
department. The report is not based
upon facts as the department has of,
fered no such reward, and there rs
every reason to believe the passenger
pigeon which formerly roamed the
country in fock5 of millions is ex-
tinct. In 1910 about 81 GOO in rewards
were offered by Clark University for
the first undisturbcd nest of the pas.
senger pigeon TO be found in the
United States. This was a great slim.
ulOus to action The hunt for this
pigeon was fruitless. The offer of re.
wards was renewed for several years
until it was fully established that the
pigeon was extinct.
The passenger pigeon up to 1885
ranged the American continent east
Of the Rocky Mountains. The mourn
ing dove has often been mistaken for
the passenger pigeon, which in gem
.eral way 1t resembles. However, this
bird is quit distinct from the passen-
ger pigeon; it is shorter and has diff.
ferent color markings.
The press reports stated that the
now extinct passenger pigeon was
valued because OF its usefulness in
destroying the gypsy moth and other
moths and pests which are doing mil
lions Of dollars OF damage. Although
the preservation OF this pigeon is
much to he desired, IL would be OF
absolutely no value in eliminating the
gypsy moth as the pigeons are almost
vegetarian in their diet.

To the Blue Danube, across
whose broad waters near Belgrade
the first echoes of the world-war
awoke, belongs the credit, probably,
OF being the only river in the world
to have given rise TO a distinct school
OF music. The Danube is the father OF
the Viennese waltz; for, the Austri-
ans tell, the great waltz composers OF
the Kaiserstadt have merely trans
lated the moods of this river into a
music in which they have preserved
the rythm OF its flow. Johann Strauss,
Nlenna's Waltz King composer OF
several hTclrcd waltzcs and a num-
ber OF operettas, has made the meIo-
dies of this beautiful stream interna-
tional possessions, and so, the beat
of the Blue Danube's waves has ting.
