of communicable diseases during the year
1918, as compared with the previous year.
This showed that. while more cases We're
reported than i'm 1914. the number of
deaths is considerably reduced. The addi-

MUST WRITE GOOD LETTER.
Business of Farmer Depends on Core
snOndence. SAYS PrOf. Davis.


Manhattan, Kan, March 3.-The
standing and business ability OF
farmer are largely judged by the
business letter he writes, asserts Fl. w.
Davis, associate professor OF the Cng-
lish language in the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college. This is particular
ly important if the farmer is special
izing in a pure bred stock of chicken
business.
THE amount of business transacted
by letter in this country has increased
enormously and the Importance of
good business letter is becoming wide
ly realized says Mr.. Davis. Many
farmers engaged in selling pure bred
chickens have excellent catalogues but
spoil their sales by the poor letters
they write. A good business letter
also gives the farmer an advantage in
dealings with the house from which
he orders.
1.-The letter paper and the letterhead
should be simple and business-like.
The language used should be simple,
neat. and forceful, and indicative of
the kind of business the farmer is in"

SHE GRABBED THE BUMPER.
GaIena Girl Hung Onto Car Until 1t
Went Too Fast.

Galena, Kan, March 3.-Leona, the
10-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Lottie, who reside on Twelfth
street between Madison and Amherst
streets, was injured painfully when
she fell from the rear of a street car.
She and a companion were going
home from school and when the car
stopped at Ninth street and Mineral
avenue the two children took hold of
the coupler on the back of the car
After the car started one of the girls
turned loose, but the Lottie girl held
on until the car was going at such
a speed that she was unable to re-
lease her hold.
AS the car neared Tenth street it
was travelling at such a rate that the
child was unable to keep pace with
it and she was thrown to the ground.
Her head, just above the left eye,
was bruised badly. but it is not be-
lieved that her skull was fractured
by the fall.
