FACTS THAT HOLD WATER.
Some Amazing Statements by Govern
ment Investigations.

Experts of the agricultural de-
partment at Washington say that
growing plants require about 1000
times their weight
The housewife who takes a loaf OF
bread out of the oven. for instance,
is lifting a product which, in case the
loaf weighs a pound, represents the
utilization OF about two tons OF water
that is, 500 gallons.
The ten-pound roast OF beef which
the family attacks at dinner has been
brought TO its maturity only at the
expense of 800 tons OF water, which.
as little figuring assures us. is ex-
actly $1,000 gallons. or 100000
pints.
the dessert. the beverages, all repre-
sent equally surprising amounts OF
the fluid, and as most of us eat three
meals day 1t is not difficult to rea-
lie that. directly and indirectly. each
OF us is absorbing rivers.
The average man uses a ton OF wa
ter for drink in the course OF year,
400 tons in bread and 1000 tons in
meat This of itself figures out A.
100000 quarts, which would keep
quite respectable river flowing for
some time.
In addition there is the water in
the fruits which we eat, in the vege-
tables, the desserts and various other
articles of diet, which, in all proba-
bility, doubles the estimate.
Two-thirds of the earth's surface. is
water and normally the air contains
very large percentage of 1t, while
numberless streams exist beneath the
surface. 1t is, all told. a tremendous
volume, but, in the light of the facts
none too great to support the vast
life processes which, whether In plant
or animal, depend absolutely upon It.

as many of the ground squirrels,
chipmunks and weasels as possible.
The following year DR.. McClintic re-
turned to continue the work and lost
his life from the disease which he
was fighting
In 1913, another officer volunteer
ed for the highly dangerous work.
He established his headquarters at
Victor, Mont, and there began opera
lions against the disease. In study
ing the two sides of the valley, he
noticed that whereas there were
many sheep on the east side of the
valley where Rocky Mountain spotted
fever does not exist there were prac-
tically no sheep on the west side of
the valley where the disease appears
every year. Opening into the west
side of the valley there is q smaller
valley In which are a good many
sheep. In this valley tick fever does
not exist. This set him to thinking
and he wondered If 1t were not DOS
sible that the tick became entangled
In the long wool of the sheep and
died before they could reach the skin
OF their victim. In this way 1t might
be possible that sheep grazing over a
given piece of land would free It Of
ticks. He secured some sheep and
picked all OF the ticks of OF them. He
then drove them through badly tick
infested country and found that they
picked up many ticks. Just as he
had supposed. these ticks became en-
tangled In the long wool and died.
The following year the United
States Public Health service rented
a band of sheep and pastured them
In that part OF the Bitter Root valley
which hitherto had the most cases.
1t was found that they collected large
numbers of ticks. The range horses
and cattle were dipped every ten
days to Kill the ticks which they pick
up, and so successfully did they do
the work that not one case has oc-
Cured in that area since. More than
this' the owners of the sheep have
discovered that sheep raising in Bit
ter Root valley is profitable indus
try and this year many more sheep
are being pastured than formerly. SO
well satisfied is the Public Health
Service with these results that 1t has
extended the measures against the
Rocky Mountain spotted fever into
the state OF Idaho.

Enlists Sheep to Fight
Spotted Fever

Spotted Fever.
Besides utilizing sheep as a source
Of food and clothing, the careful stud
les OF the United States Public Health
service have demonstrated their val
US as sanitary agents. Ticks which
carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever
become entangled in their long greasy
wool and die. This prevents the
spread of the disease. No ticks, nc
fever.
We have in the United States a
truly American disease. So far as II
is known this is the only disease pc
euliar to the United States. 1t Is
called Rocky Mountain spotted fever
and Is found in practically all the
Rocky Mountain states. 1t is con.
veyed to man by the bite of wood
tick which buries it's head beneath
the skin of its victim and thus intro.
duces the virus which causes tick fe
yer. In many of the states such as
Colorado and Utah. the disease Is
not very fatal, only about s per cent
OF the persons stricken with the dis
ease losing their lives.
On the west side of the Bitter Root
Valley In Montana the disease is un.
usually severe and the United States
government, acting through the Pub.
lie Health Service, has been endeav.
oring to discover a way to eradicate

Past Assistant Surgeon T. B. Nc.
Clfntic visited the Bitter Root val.
ley In the summer of 1911 for the
purpose of studying the disease and
determining II possible way in
which to stamp 1t out. 1t was found
that on the west side OF the valley in
the lands which had not been cleared
OF underbrush that ticks existed in
large numbers. The immature or
baby ticks were found attached to
small animals, such as ground squir-
rels. weasels and chipmunks, while
the adult ticks were to be found on
cattle and horses.

three miles wide and five miles long

DOMINION FREIGHT
 LINER TORPED0ED
TWENTY NINE MEN IN ALL WERE LOST AND TEN WERE
 INJURED.
MRS. ISABEL eALL

Washington. The Dominion freight liner Armenian, living the British flag and carrying mules from Newport News, Va, to England, was tOrpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U3S of Cornwall, Eng land, and nearly score of American muleteers aboard are reported lost. according to messages to the State Department from John S. Armstrong, Jr., consul at Bristol.
 Twenty-nine men in all were lost and 10 injured.
 The news created a sensation in official quarters, as it was the first case of loss Of American lives since the sinking of the Lusitania. The action of the Washington govern ment, however, depends almost en- tirely on whether the Armenian was chartered by the British government and was. in fact a transport of war aboard which Americans would sail at their own risk, or whether she was an unarmed merchantmen In the latter case, even though carry ing contraband the ship should have been subjected to visit and search and those aboard transferred to place of salty before the destruction of the vessel was attempted, officials hold.
 In the absence of conclusive 1nfor- nation on these points, officials de- n Nul,o NEr of the Armenian would have on pend ing negotiations between the United States and Germany Immediate fn- quiry was directed, however, to Am bassador Page at London to obtain more details and when Secretary Lansing returns Ambassador Gerard will be instructed to inquire of the German admiralty as to it's report.
 From the messages received 1t ap- pears that in addition to the torpedo at least one shot was fired from a dis appearing rife. The consult's report said the wireless house was taken by second shot" It was not. mace clear whether the Armenian first was ordered tG halt and resisted capture requiring second shot or whether the submarine attacked without warn- ing. The fact that the number of the submarine was given indicated that she had come to the surface to make the attack
 Mules are contraband Of war, ac- cording to all the lists of the belhg- erents, so tl.ere can be no doubt as to the contraband character of the Ar menian's cargo.

Arkansas cotton crop this year will be less than in former years, accord. Ing to John H. Page, commissioner Of mines. manufactures and agriculture. From reports which have come to his office, MT. Page estimates the re- duction in acreage to be between F and 20 per cent From his records of the amount of fertilizer sold this year in comparison with other years, Mir. Page believes the yield per acre as- pecially in the upland districts, will be decreased. The amount of ferti- lizer sold this year, most of which is used on cotton land, was approximate ly one-third of that sold last year, or 33,000 tons. Last year 99,060 tons were sold
 The actual number of acres plant ed in cotton last year, but planted to something else this year, probably is greater than 20 per cent" MT. Page said, but it must be taken into con sideration that thousands of acres arc in cultivation this year that were not last year Most of this newly cleared land is in cotton. I believe the great est reduction in cotton acreage is in northeast Arkansas. Reports I have received indicate that the large plan tatlons have reduced their cotton be- cause they are better equipped to small farmer"
