louise.
The train Is stationed in the Santa
Fe yards, and the Mexicans, their
clothing and bedding brought to it.
While the clothing and bedding are
being sterilized under steam pressure
in one car, which is really a mammoth
steam chest, the men are bathing in
one car and the women in another,
with kerosene soapsuds, finishing off
with soapsuds. They also get a
shampoo of kerosene and vinegar.
In the meanwhile a squad of attend
ants thoroly disinfect the bunkhouses
or other dwellings of the laborers and
after their baths, the subjects of the
Santa Fe's attention return, free of
vermin, to clean houses.
The general attitude of the MeM-
cans, after the reasons and results of
the treatment have been explained to
them, is anxiety to get into the baths.
They seem perfectly willing to under
go the bathing with the vile smelling
connections, in order to avoid danger
of typhus, a much dreaded disease
among them.
The two trains were started over the
system recently after cases of typhus
had been discovered among the roads

HOW GOOD that
MUSTEROlE FEELS!
It Gets to That Sore Spot
Like Magic

A-a-hl That's delicious relief for
those sore muscles, those stiff joints,
that lame back.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
made with the oil of mustard and
other home simples.
1t does the work of the old
fashioned mustard plaster, minus the
plaster and minus the blister!
You simply rub Musterole on the
spot where the pain is-rub it on
briskly-and usually the pain is gone.
No muss, no bother. Just comfort
ing. soothing rel;ef-frst a gentle
glow, then a delightful sense of cool
ness. And best of all, no blisters like
the old-fashioned mustard plaster used
to make.
Use Musterole for sore throat bron-
ohitis, tonsilitis, Group, stiff neck,
asthma. neuralgia, headache, conges-
ton. plcurisy. rheumatism, 1umbago,
pains and aches of the back or joints,
sprains, sore muscles. bruises, chill
blains, frosted feet and colds of the
chest Gt often prevents pneumonia. +.

AERO SLED is SPEEDY
Famous Alaska Dog Teamster Beat
Canine Record All Hollow

San Francisco, Calf, Dec. 21.-
Scotty Allan, thrice winner of the
Alaska Sweepstakes with Mrs c. E.
Darling's team of dogs, has established
a new record for speedy travelling in
the frozen north by making the en-
tire trip from Nome to Valdez in a
little more than ten days by means of
an "aero sled" By dog teams the
tri.' usually is made in about eighty
days. The news of Allan's achieve
ment became known here today with
the arrival of Frank O'Connor, Nome
agent of a steamship company.
Allan took Mrs. Darling's dogs to
Europe for use on the battle front
in the Vosges Mountains and on his
way back to Nome he purchased an
engine and propeller. which he in
stalled on a sled. After several trails
he undertook the Nome-Valdez jour
ney. about 100 miles in the face of
almost universal skepticism. He start
ed from Nome and seventy-two hours
later he arrived in Valdez. and re-
turning he reached Nome on Novem-
ber II.
His machine was described as COM
bined hydroplane-aeroplane and he
used gasoline as the motive power.

FIRE IN A SCHOOL
Interior of Temporary Structure
Scorched Last Night.

Fire from a furnace in the frame
building which houses temporarily the
Lincoln school, shortly after O'Clock
Wednesday evening, ignited the wood
work near the furnace. The flames
followed a staircase in the center of
the building, and in a very few mo-
ments what Chief Joseph Hanlon
characterized as a nasty, smoky little
blaze brought a company from the
station at Seventh and Quincy streets.
Two lines of hose extinguished the
blaze after the interior of the building
had been badly scorched.
The fire fighters were delayed when
a street car ran across one line of their
hose, cutting it in two. With the
thermometer lowering near zero and
water freezing wherever it struck on
helmets, coats and. hose, the firemen
had an uncomfortable session before
the fire was out and the hose gather
ed up.
The Christmas vacation for the
schools began Wednesday, and the
board of education hopes to have the
house repaired and ready for use again
by January 3, when the schools re-
open.
The house is owned by the city
board of education. The damage was
estimated at between S4OO and $500.
and is covered by insurance.

CROP ESTIMATE
Cotton Prices Are the Highest
Since 1872 as Result of Big
Shortage of Yield.

This years cotton crop will
be approximately II, 900
bales, according to the depart
ment of agriculture's forecast
made Monday. basing its esti-
mate on the condition of the
crop on September rs. In its
first forecast of production
made from conditions existing
June %, the quantity was esti-
mated at 14,266,000 bales. The
condition of the crop on Sep
TENDER 25 was Sc per cent of a
normal, which is the lowest
condition 'on record for that
time of the year.
Cotton this year was planted
on the fourth largest acreage
ever recorded-35, $4,000 ac-
res. In 1911, when 36,045, 900
acres were planted, the crop
was 1861 900 bales; in 1918,
when there were 37,089,000
acres the crop was Ia, 156, 900
bales, and in 1914, when the
acreage was 36,832, 900, the
crop amounted to 16,135,00O
bales.
Indications are that this
years crop will yield only
1876 1-3 pounds per acre, COM
pared with 207 Sd pounds in
1911, 1872 pounds in 1918, and
200 pounds in 1914.
The weather during the en-
tire fall has been very favorab-
lie for gathering the crop, and
the high prices prevailing for
both cotton and the seed caus-
ed the farmers in all parts of
the South to rush gathering
and ginning, and there has been
a much larger percentage of
the crop put through the gins
than usual at this time of the
year. In Southern Mississippi
and Alabama, where the crop
is practically a failure, one
picking got the crop, the acre
age in many counties being a
bale to the mule, or less. Over
the entire cotton belt the crop
this season has been rapidly
picked, and there is less cotton
remaining in the fields than
usual at this time of the year.
The picking season will aver
age two or three weeks early.
Highest Prices Since 1872
Farmers are receiving for
their cotton at this time higher
prices than have been paid
since 1872. In that year the av-

Special Primary Will Be Call
ed to Name Candidate to
Succeed Senator j. p. Clarke

learned from high official
sources last night that Gov.
Hays will probably appoint
Associate Justice w. F. Kirby
United States Senator temper
arily to succeed Senator Clarke
and name Judge Jeptha H.
Evans of Bonneville associate
Justice to succeed Justice Kir-
by.
From the same source it was
learned that the governor will
issue a call for a special cleo
ton and go before the Demo-
cratic state committee Friday
and suggest that the primary
election to nominate a candi-
date for senator be called. The
special election to select the
senator will be held in Deem

J. w. House, chairman of
the Democratic state central
committee, has issued call
for a meeting of the committee
in Little Rock Friday after
noon to consider the filling of
the vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Jas. P.Clarke.
Mr.. House said that a ma
iority of the members of the
committee with whom he had
talked favored holding a spec
ial election.
A. C.. Remmel, chairman of
the Republican state central
committee, stated that his or
ganization would nominate a
candidate to run in the regular
election Nov. 7. Democratic
leaders said that such proceed
ure would be of no avail to the
Republicans-that the spection
election,if called by Gov. Hays,
would hold in case of contest.
H. l.. Remmel, it is said
probably would be the local
nominee.
Gov. Hays stated that he
will confer with the state Dem

by has announced to friends
that he will seek the nomina-
ton if a primary election is
