FLIES AND MOSQUITOES.

FLIES AND MOSQUITOES.
 More screening of houses this year than ever before in Arkansas, thanks to our state secretary of Public Health, the National Bu- reau of public health. the woman s clubs and others. Public health is an asset; sickness is public liability. Flies and mosquitoes must be kept out of the houses. More attention should be paid to the sources of drinking water The biggest menace to health in Arkansas is the miserable outdoor privy and the next is the foul we'll.
 ABOUT sHIPPI!a CORN.
 Don't ship corn. if there is enough stock in the county to eat it. From one neighborhood in Southeast Arkansas three weeks ago there were shipped to Illinois 5000 bushels of corn and three carloads of pigs. What a mistake, Then, too, it will be necessary to ship into other parts of that county this year several thousand bushels of corn and many carloads of meal. Let everybody who anticipate ex- tra corn plan for cribs to save it for December and January to sell to his neighbors or to oter parts of the county. Farmers who will have corn to sell should inform the county agent and he is certain to know of men who will need to buy corn. Arkansas will not have enough corn this year to feed it's own stock. The Extension Diyis- ion and U. s. Department of Agri- culture are anxion to keep Arkan- sas corn in Arkansas.

IyhOid Fever.

Apropos of the outbreak of in fantile paralysis in New York City. and the great unrest of the people concerning the possible spread of the disease to other parts of the country. it is we'll to not overlook the danger to which the public is at all times exposed from typhoid fever, malaria, tuberculosis and other well known communicable diseases which are constantly car rying on their ravages.
 Typhoid fever has in the past, and is now, playing tragedy which will never be equalled by infantile paralysis. Tnfantile paralysis may. for a short season. claim a few thousand lives; typhoid fever will continue to claim it's many thous- ands. In the United States every year 100000 persons contact ty- phoid fever, and 10000 did from the disease. Economically con sidered, typhoid fever is one of the three ranking diseases which affect mankind, and it's control consti- tutes one of the most difficult san itary problems of the age.
 Typhoid fever is more frequent in the summer and fall than in oth- CT seasons. This is because of the increased danger from fly infection and from a lowering of resistence resulting from the summer heat. Water supplies also are more apt to become polluted in dry seasons than in wet seasons.
 Typhoid fever germs enter the body through the mouth and find lodgment in the intestinal tract where they multiply. produce tox= ins. and. when absorbed by the blood, give rise to certain symp- toms which constitute disease. The disease never arises spontan- eously in the system. It can only be acquired from some antecedent case. The usual modes of trans mission are by (a) contact, (b) water, Co milk, (d) flies, etc.
 Typhoid fever is often spoken of as water-borne disease, because in large number of cases 1t is contracted from the use of polluted drinking water. Many severe epi- denies have been traced to con- taminated milk. Flies play a most important role in the dissemination of typhoid. The outbreak of ty- phoid fever in the U. s. army camps, during the Spanish Ameri- can war, was largely due to the common house fly. Carelessness in the disposal of the patients ex- creta constitutes one of the great est sources of danger in the spread of the disease. Flies having ae- cess to such excreta carry the germs and are capable of contami- hating food and drink.

why should not the state, county, neighborhood or individual farmer prepare for winter and for the fu- ture? Why not for the next thirty days, study ways of preparing? [? Prepare cribs for corn, sheds for cotton and tins for seed and sheds for hay and sheds for farms tools. Prepare for an abundance of feed for all stock. Most Arkansas COWS are starved Remember that COWS are machines for making butter fat or good meat for the market. The more feed, of the right kind. the more of the marketable product. Plant turnips for table and for the COWS. Plant rape for the pigs. Sow rye for winter pasture for COWS and mules. Plant potatoes and dozen other things for the table. Prepare!
 COTTON CHASING.
 The Extension Division and U. s. Department of Agriculture have perfected cooperative arrange ments with the office of Market and Rural Organization for the continuance of the classification of cotton for the producers of the state and the representative of the Office of Markets is now stationed in the extension office in the old state house, Little Rock. It is commended that communities ap- point committees to attend to de- tails for sending sample for classi- fication. Supplies for sending in samples of cotton may be had up- on application to c. E. Atkinson, assistant in cotton marketing, or to Dean J. H. Miller, old state house, Little Rock.
 PLAN MORE TERRAcING.
 Now is the time to plan for ter .-cing pasture fields and corn and grain fields. Where there is a county agent, call on him for lay ing out the work and for instruc- tions. Don't let our lands wash away to the gulf. With terracing and with cover crops, Arkansas hlllsides will return richer profits. Watch the hillsides.

ABOUT COUNTY AGENTS.


 Fifty-one counties in Arkansas have invested in county agricultur- al agents and it is the best invest ment ever made by any county The county agent pays for the in vestment in m5 ny ways. One agent reports the vaccination of 2,8OO hogs in ten months; another vaccinated enough horses and cat tie for anthax to pay h lary for twenty years; another, in addition to his other duties, has conducted a campaign for screen coo and windows and has reduced the cases of malaria. Agents below the quarantine line have built S sveral hundred dipping vats and have su- pervised the dipping of thousands of cattle. In all the counties they are directing the campaign for clo- vers and cover crops and from their work will be thousands of acres of clovers and there will be more acres of wheat and rye and oats for winter cover crops than ever before. The county agent and the home demonstration agent are the only two employees of a county that work for farmers all the time and the state and nation will pay one third of the salary. Every county in Arkansas should have these two valuable agents. Farmers who believe in the agent idea should let their views be known, and emphatically too. Farmers in non-agent counties should write to c. w. Watson, state agent, Little Rock, for information.

The campaign for Glove S and Cover Crops is making great head way hindered now only by the diff flculty of getting clover seed. The county agents, in counties so for tunate as to have these valuable servants, are very anxious to have the names of all farmers who will SOW clover or seed a winter cover crop of rye, wheat or oats. Farm CTS are urged to notify the county agent and state what they will seed and the acreage.

"RED" BOOK LOSES GOAT
WHEN TOT TRIES TO PICK
FRECKLES FROM FACE

"Red" Book has a goat that is
y hard to "get," but it was "gotten
+ good" Wednesday afternoon and
+ "Red" hasn't seen his nanny since.
+ It is common knowledge that
y "Red" has a milEon-dollar crop of
+ freckles-a crop that is in a class
+ by itself. Furthermore, "Red" has
never worried about his notifies
and up to Wednesday had been
+ impervious to kidding" regarding
his "kisses from the sum-" 1t took
a little tot in rompers to break
down his brave front and send the
Book goat gathering off into the
hills. "Red" had been hawking
papers for solid hour in the in
tense heat of the Great Northern
depot platform. He decided he
was more than earning his money,
so threw himself down on bench
to takes a rest in the shade. En-
tiers the little tot in rompers. For
several minutes he eyed cred"
quizzically and then crawled up on
= the bench beside him. Another
scrutiny of several minutes and
then the tot reached up tiny
hand and sought to pick one of
"Red's" pet freckles from his left
cheek. Three and four times the
tot tried and then leaned back in
wonderment at his inability to
pluck one of the reddish-brown
notifies which attracted him.
= "Red" made a dive for his nanny
as it bounded from the end of the
depot platform but at last &C.
counts was still following in the
general direction of a faint bleat.

A heating plant is in operation st
Alexandria in connection with the
municipal lighting plant. The heating
plant was installed, however, by pr
vate capital, and this company pays
the City certain sum per thousand
feet for the exhaust steam, and an adj
ditional sum when the require
ments demand live steam. The heat
ing company in turn heat the business
district of the town at a stipulated
price for every foot of radiation re-
quired to keep the buildings at an ev-
en- temperature during the cold season
The heating idea rather appeals to
the Herald, and we hope th't the
Council will thoroughly investigate
this phase of the proposition before
finally deciding upon the installation
of Diesel or any ohtre method of
generating electricity.
In some cities the individual Paws
for the installation of the heat mains
in front of his property, taking heat
from the City until the mo ley ne has
extended is consumed. After that he
pays cash.
If Sank Centre should decide to m
stall a heating plant the practical
idea would be to run the heat mains
from the power plant at the southeast
corner of the park, south on MAR
street, west on Third and Fourth to
Oak street. The mains could very
likely be run with profit up Main
street to Fifth, taking in the Puo'lc
library and the new Masonic Temple
The Herald understands upon re'l-
able authority that it cost the Sch""l
District nearly $500 for coal last
wear. 1t will cost several hundred
dollars more next year because OF
the new Junior High Grade school
building now being completed. Unde,

G. A. LINDBERGH MAY YET FILE
Reports From Washington Indicate
That Little Falls Man May Seek
Reelection to Congress.

A special dispatch in Wednesday
mornings Minneapolis Tribune from
George Author, the papers Washing
ton correspondent, states that it is ie-
ported in Washington circles that
Charles A. Lindbergh will file as In
dependent candidate for Congress
from the Sixth district.
This statement does not surprise the
Herald as this paper prophesied
months ago that Lindbergh would be
a congressional candidate. He has
been able to swap the Old Sixth
around in any manner he desired in
the past, and if he gets into the game,
as now seems likely, he will make a
