SHIPPING DISEASE BY MAIL

The mail order houses are now being
accused in some quarters of being re-
sponsible for the distribution Of dis
ease germs. The breaking cut of in
fantile paralysis in widely separated
and out of the way places has mystified
physicians and health authorities. 1t is
now suggested that the germs may
have been transmitted in parcels filled
with goods made in sweat shops in in.
fected districts. Indeed, it is said that
not only ~infantile paralysis but many
other dreaded diseases may be trans.
mitted in the same way. The reason
why the mail order house is being
thought of as a distributor Of the
germs is that in these places the pack.
ings are usually broken, even if the
goods are made in factories. The local
merchant usually has his goods ship.
ped directly from the factory. The bic
cities are hot houses of disease and
every ]precaution should be taken by
families in the country not to import
germs that may cause disease and
death.

FOR BELGIUM CHILDREN

The people of the Northwest are go
ing TO adopt Belgian children. They
are going to adopt them at long range
in order to save the future nation of
Belgium. Although the children Will
be adopted they will not be brought to
this country but simply provided for
during the war.
More than 100000 children are dying
in Belgium from tuberculosis, anemia
and kindred diseases due to the lack of
food and clothing.
The relief movement in the North
west has been started by Miss Clara
Hill, daughter Of the late James ]. Hill,
and, in her efforts to bring relief TO
the stricken children Of Belgium, Miss
Hill has ruled out all Efforts Of society
to use it for pastime and places the ap-
peal directly before the people.
The future generation of Belgium is
doomed said Miss Hill, unless relief
is sent the suffering children. The de-
p~ortation of 1O0, 900 Belgian men has
aggravated a terrible condition leay-
ing the children almost helpless.
Never in the history of the world has
the need of a nation been so great
one dollar will support a Belgian
child for a month and $12 for a year

in South Dakota as well as in other
states.
"A soil survey" said President
Perisho, will practically guarantee
the maintenance of soil fertility in
South Dakota. Such a survey should
include soil sampling and mapping,
soil analysis and crop demonstration
fields. Among the reasons why South
Dakota should ~inaugurate such a sur
yey may be summarized briefly as fol-
lows: II would be the basis of gradu-
ally increasing crop yields at a profit;
it would maintain soils that are still
fertile, it would cost only the small
sum Of five cents per quarter section
it would give our farmers correct in
formation about their land, instead Of
who have something to sell, informa-
ton which in the latter case may be
right or wrong; it would show farmers
whether or not they need to eXpend
money in buying fertility; it would
give prospective settlers the informa-
uon they want and would help build up
the state; it would help determine
what crop varieties are best suited to
the various sections of the state; and
it would be in line with the progress
siyo Legislation which is desired by our
leading farmers who have asked for
such a survey repeatedly. They are
asking for it now

NEW BOOK BY STATE COLLEGE
FACULTY MEMBER APPEARS

Elementary Mechanics for En-
gineers" is the name of the latest text
book written by a member of the State
College faculty. Professor Clifford n.
Mills of the department of mathe-
MATES is the author. This work, the
first copies of which appeared at the
college this week. is of an intensely
practical nature, written especially for
engineering students, and fills a long
felt want in mathematical circles.
Professor Mills has spent much valu-
able time on his book during the past
few years. The course in Elementary
Mechanics formerly was without a
text and the work was carried on by
mean of notes essentially the same as
those appearing in the finished text.
The students took the problems, which
were original and worked them out,
all answers being checked three times
before they finally appeared in the
book. This fact makes the appearance
of the book of especial interest to the
students who have followed it's pro-
gress during the time that it was being
formulated.

the way, was raised in South Dakota
and educated at State College, has
shown that some of our best western
states under the common system of
farming are losing their fertility at
the enormous rate of almost three per
cent annually. He stated that it is
only a matter Of simple arithmetic to
demonstrate how long the profitable
fertility of any farm will last If the
farmer does not come to the rescue of
the soil while growing crops. The
State College agronomists have esti-
mated, he said, that this state loses in
one year s 1000. 900 worth Of the
element nitrogen alone in producing
all crops. This is a serious condition
and one which needs prompt attention
