 Although quinine remains the best means of treating malaria and is also of marked benefit in preventing infec- ton, the eradication of the disease as a whole rests upon the destruction of the breeding places of Anopheline mosquitoes. The public health ser vice, therefore, is urging @ definite campaign of draining standing water, the filling of low places, and the re- garding and training of streams where malarial mosquitoes breed. The oiling of breeding places, and the stocking of streams with top-feeding minnows, are further recommended. The service also gives advice regarding screening, and other preventive measures as a part of the educational campaigns conducted in sections of infected ter

UNCLE SAM MEETING MALARIA PROBLEM
Infection Rate in South About
 Four Per Cent. Of Inhabitants

Washington, Feb. 14.-Four per cent of the inhabitants of certain sec tions of the south have malaria. This estimate, based on the reporting of 204,SS1 cases during 1914, has led the United States public health service to give increa sed attention to the ma- 1aria problem, according to the an- nual report of the Surgeon General. Of 13,526 blood specimens examined by government officers during the year, 1,797 showed malarial infection. The infection rate among white persons was above eight per cent, and among colored persons twenty per cent. In two countries in the Yazoo valley, 40 out of every 100 inhabitants present. ed evidence of the disease.
 Striking as the above figures are they are no more remarkable than those relating to the reduction in the incidence of the disease following sur veys of the public health service at 34 places in nearly every state of the south. In some instances from an in cidence of fifteen per cent, in 1914, 9 reduction has been accomplished to less than four or five per cent, in 1915.
 Continuation of Disease.
 One of the important scientific dis coveries made during the year was in regard to the continuance of the dis ease from season to season. Over 2,OOO Anopheline mosquitoes in ma 1arious districts were dissected, dur ing the early spring months, without finding a parasite in the body of 8 mosquito discovered. The public health service, therefore, concludes that mosquitoes in the latitude of the southern states ordinarily do not car ry the infection through the winter. This discovery indicates that protec- ton from malaria may be secured by treating. human carriers with quinine

 Anxious to Hear Governor.
 "When the governor takes the stump to dictate to the people in this state how they should vote in the gu bernatorial contest he will doubtless discuss to some extent his record as governor. It is freely predicted that he will take cold feet and reconsider his announcement that he will take the stump in that race, but a great many people in south Arkansas, where he received such a hearty support in his race for governor, are exceedingly an-
 Xious for him to comply with his promise to make this campaign and we hope he will not overlook this sec tion in arranging his appointments, and some of his friends would take great pleasure in joining with him in this discussion if he will permit it."

COUNTY DEMONSTRATION
 AGENTS.

One of the really great steps in the history of agriculture in the world was actually discovered or originated and developed by the late Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, who thus proved to be one of the great benefactors of the South and the Nation. This work has been going on in Arkansas for about six years and marvellous results have been secured in many counties. But only forty-nine of the seventy-five counties have these agents and in some of these counties the funds had to be raised this year by subscription. This is not right. The farm demon stration work is intended to be of de- finite help to farmers and farmers should support it. The Farmers Un- ion as a state organization is behind the work and in most counties the Union members are firm supporters. Let all get behind it this year. If you have county agent use him and then stand up for him. Help him to make his work so successful that not a member of the Quorum Court will, next October, even think of dropping the work, but rather want to pay a better salary anf pr 5ide a small fund for his expenses. A county farm agent and a county home demonstra- tion agent should be considered the most profitable investment county could possibly make, not an expense at ali. Settle this thing this spring, farmers instead of next October.

 stead county. l wish to say that l have never come in contact with a more chivalrous, honest and honorable people than the citizens of every part of Hampstead county, and such a statement as this is absolutely un- founded and uncalled for on the part of the governor or anyone else. If l felt that there were as many criminals in Hampstead county as the governor has already pardoned in Arkansas l would want the assistance of the state militia in holding court in that county. If 1 have ever on my own motion lib- erated a single person charged with a crime in that county l do not now re- member it. My term of office does not expire for nearly three years.

Omaha. Aug. 30.-Judge Willis z.
Sears of the district court of Douglas
county, today issued an order re-
straining the general and local Off
cials of the Order of Railway Conduc-
tors calling or enforcing a strike on
the lines of the Union Pacific.
Names Garretson Defendant
Edwin A. Hamilton, a Union Pa
cific conductor for eighteen years, OBJ
tanned the order restraining officials
of the Order of Railway Conductors
from issuing a strike order on the
Union Pacific lines, circulating any
strike order or spending any money
for strike purposes.
Hearing On the petition for perma-
nent injunction was set for September
2. Hamilton named as defendants A.
B. Garretson, president of the order,
and included as defendants the three
divisions of the brotherhood known as
the eastern, southern and western as
sociations, but the order only is eff
fective in Nebraska. the limit of
Sears's jurisdiction.
AS reasons for asking the order
Hamilton in his petition said that w
to July 1, the railroads were regard
ed as separate units in the brother
hoods, but that at that time the rules
were amended and it was provided
that the vote of all should rule the
conductors on each road. He claims
this is illegal because the strike bal

RULE IS MODIFIED
Santa Fe viii Accept Only 49,
Hour Shipments.
Acute Situation in This Terri
tory Is Relieved.

The Santa Fe relieved the acute con-
dition in its territory this afternoon by
modifying its embargo to accept live
stock and perishable freight shipments
that can be delivered to destination in
forty-eight hours from 4 O'Clock this
afternoon. The order was issued from
the office of J. R. Koon1z, general
freight agent. 1t was flashed from
the general offices here with right of
way over all other messages to agents
and all had been notified ten minutes
after the rder was mace at O'Clock.
Late this afternoon shippers by the
hundreds had wired all railroads who
have declared an embargo petitioning
relief.
The original Santa Fe embargo, is
sued late Monday afternoon, refused
acceptance of all livestock aid perish
able freight from the time of issuance
regardless of destination.
Under today's modification order a
great amount of shipping will be
made possible. The ice situation in
small towns will be much relieved. To-
peka commission firms will be en-
abled to obtain large emergency stocks
from other cities However. all ship
ments must be in their destinations
by o'clock Friday afternoon.

Bitter Charges Hurled and Ses-
sion Is Adjourned.
First Legislative Step for Strike
Laws Made.
DEBATE IF POSSIBLE
Tentative Program Includes
S-HOur Day Measure.
Fight Probable Over Two Bills
Proposed by Wilson.

Washington, Aug. 30.-The first
formal effort of congress to rush thru
legislation to prevent the strike of
1000 railroad employees set for Mon
day morning, ended temporarily in
quarrel today when bitter charges
were made that certain senators are
attempting to make political capital
out of a disastrous situation"
The charges were made by Senator
Robinson, Arkansas. They followed a
statement in committee by Senator
Cummins and other Republicans.
These senators it was stated declared
that since the date has been set and
that strike appears to be inevitable,
there is no need to rush thru hasty
legislation that might afterwards
prove inadequate to hold for all time
as law.
1.-The strike is not inevitable" Rob-
inson was quoted as saying. 1T seems
to me that OF d time like this when
the nation is facing the most disas-
trouS industrial situation in our his
tory, members of all parties should
stand together, regardless of party or
personal ambitions.'
So Stormy Meeting Adjourns.
The meeting grew so stormy that
after passing a resolution agreeing to
hear the employees, the railroad mana
gers and the shippers in the senate
office building tomorrow. Just before
adjournment, however, the committee
| decided tentatively to meet again this
afternoon.
The first legislative step on the
| floor Of either house was taken early
this afternoon when Senator Lewis of
Illinois introduced two resolutions.
The first was an amendment to the in
terState commerce act providing for
| two additional members of the COM
mission and division of proposed nine
members into three sections of three
mem bers each. Each section, under
| the amendment, would be assigned to
certain districts, thereby necessitatins
repeal of the original act which pro-
vides that the commission shall sit
only in the District of Columbia Ar
rangement is made for joint action by
all three sections when necessity de-
mandS.
The second resolution provides that
railroads whenever necessity exists
! for increasing wages or readJuSung
hours of labor, can apply to the COM
mission for rate increases to meet such
! losses
Both resolutions were referred to
the interstate commerce committee.
Has Herculean Task.
Washington, Aug. 30.-Congress to-
day formally took up the herculean
task of preventing the worst industrial
struggle in history-strike of 100000
employees on 250,0o0 miles of the
country's 225 railroads, set for Mon
day.
There was an air of optimism pres
ent as the senate interstate commerce
committee met to weave President
Wilson's suggestions into Legislative
form.
Senate Democratic and Republican
members are unanimous on one point
the strike must be prevented.
For this reason it was the tentative

600 and 10000 veterans of the Civil
war, not man of them less than 65
years old marched thru the streets of
Kansas City today, in regimental for

The annual parade is the climax of

A public holiday had been pro-
claimed in Kansas City in honor of
the war heroes and reviewing stands
were erected thru the business dis

Hospital corps were stationed at
numerous corners and traffic was

Kansas Roads Follow Santa Fe
in Freight Order.
Drastic Measures Paralyze Con-
ditiOns Out-State.
Topeka DEALERS ARE HARD HIT
Loaded Cars Shipped-Emp-
ties Stand on Track.
Supply of Meat VIII Be Cut Of
in Few Days.

Before night perishable freight traf-
fic in the west will be paralyzed and
movement of all other freight will be
only spasmodic. That condition was
acknowledged as unavoidable here to-
day when five Kansas railroads had
declared embargoes on all perishable
freight and announced that all other
freight would only be accepted subject
to delay.
With the cloud of the greatest strike
in the history of the nation, that of
the engineers, conductors, firemen
and brakemen, settling lower every
minute, the roads took that drastic
measure as the first step toward mini
mizing the menace.
The Santa Fe was the first to de-
clare an embargo. Immediately after
the presidents speech in Washington,
Tuesday afternoon. a code telegram
flashed from Washington to the gen.
eral offices here and at $3.50 o'clock
the railroad, thru J. r. Koontz, gen.
eral freight agent, issued an order
and ten minutes later every agent on
the entire system had been notified
not to accept perishable freight for
shipment to any point or from any
connecting line. All agents were no.
titled to inform shippers that imper-
ishable freight would be accepted
only at the shippers risk In Topeka
the order exploded like bombshell.
Union Pacific Follows.
Following the Santa Fe's order the
Union Pacific declared an embargo
against all freight that can
not be delivered before Sept. 2 at
o'clock this morning. All other freight
is subject to delay. The order was is
sued from Omaha and received here
in the freight offices of the road a few
minutes afterward.
The Union Pacific and Santa F'e
embargoes leave Topeka shippers with
only two railroads, the Rock Island
and Missouri Pacific, on which embar-
goes have not been ordered.
Such steps, however are expected
any moment. The shipment of perish
able goods to destinations that can
not be reached before Monday morn
ing, from towns between Topeka and
Lawrence is shut off, and would be
be even if the Rock Island does not
declare an embargo as that road is not
allowed by the Union Pacific to do
busin css in that territory.
Burlington in Line.
The Burlington Route, which with
the Union Pacific feeds a great terri
tory in northern and western Kansas,
! has declared an embargo similar to
that of the Union Pacific. A perish
able freight embargo goes into effect
on the Frisco at noon today. This will
affect towns in southeastern Kansas.
