atomized by the forcible expulsion Of

that many diseases are spread from
sick persons to the well in this man.
ner. Any one can easily demonstrate
this by sneezing in front of looking
glass and then examining the glass.
Many droplets of sputum will be
found and microscopic examination
will demonstrate germs in these lit
tie drops, consequently we know that
the sneeze is dangerous thing and a
dissemination of disease.
Everyone should be trained to cover
the mouth and nose with handker-
chief when it is necessary to sneeze.
The person who sneezes in public with
out this precaution is just as repre-
hensible as the consumptive who spits
promiscuously on sidewalks and
floors. Children, particularly, should
be instructed in the danger of the
sneeze and taught this simple sani-
tary precaution, which is also matter
of good manners. 1t is no more I'M
mannerly, except for the intention,
to spit in ones face directly than to
sneeze over them, and it is no more
dangerous.
If any one wishes to sneeze with
aout observing this precaution, he may
do so without offense by going out in
to the middle of ten-acre lot by him
self, or out in a boat Under these
conditions he may sneeze to his hearts
content without damage to anyone,
but under other conditions the watch
word should always be "cover your
sneeze."

Notice

The Farm Bureau owes it to those
who signed the Short Course applica.
ton blanks to make a statement re-
garding them. The expenses of the
four Short Courses totaled about 5000
Quite a number who signed the appli-
cation blanks agreeing to pay one dol.
lar have not yet paid their dues. There
were just about 200 signers on these
applications, and it will be necessary
for all to pay their dues in order that
these expenses can be paid.
The understanding with the Uni.
versity was, and we believe everyone
understood it, that we should get zoo
signers in order to have the foul
Short Courses. 1t was a guarantee
pledge. We believe the Short Courses
were a success and that all will de-
sire to have them continued. If they
are to be continued, we must make a
creditable showing in the financing OF
them for this year. We therefore hope
that every one who has not yet paid
their pledge will do so at the earliest
possible moment.

Work for the Farm Bureau

To keep members interested and to
maintain the Farm Bureau as USE
full organization necessitates that it
have definite work to do. The Coun-
ty Agent must use his organization
and give it work to do. People learn
to do things by doing them, not by
having the work done for them.
Here are some activities that the
County Farm Bureau may become in
terested in:
1. Advise the County Agents OF
the needs of the county and help out
line methods of solving them.
2. Assist in demonstration work.
3. Promote educational campaigns
A. Promote agricultural short
courses.
5. Assist in organizing breed as
sociations, and seed improvement as
sociations.
6. Make the Farm Bureau stand
for something definite.
z. Encourage favorable legisla-
ton.
8. Encourage community welfare.
Several new members have been
added this week, showing that the
people are interested in our work and
that they desire to join the Farm Bu-
reau unsolicited. The following men
have signed membership cards since
last week, some of them being old
members, and some of them new:

tend to all others cordial invitation

UNCOVERED SNEEZE
is AN OMEN OF EVIL

to Himself.
From the most ancient times the
sneeze has been regarded as an omen,
Under certain circumstances a sneeze
augured for good, under others for
evil. A sneeze on the right in Greek
usage was luck, while sneezes from
the left were unfavorable.
Even the religious writer's discuss
the sneeze. st. Augustine mentions
the custom of returning to bed if one
sneezes while putting on his shoes.
In Persia, single sneeze at the be-
ginning of a journey was considered
bad omen. The habit, so common
in many countries, of religious ex-
carnations, such as "God help yoy",
"Gesundheit", and "Bless your, shows
how these ideas have come down to
the present time. A recent classical
writer on the subject says that the
magnificance of a sneeze depends on
the position of the sneezer, especially
in regard to the person who receives
the sneeze, the time of the sneeze and
in certain cases the physical condition
Of the sneezer.
1t has remained for the modern
psychologists and sanitarians to de-
velop the true significance of the
sneeze, according to DR.. M. P. Raw
enel, of the department of prevent
i've medicine at the University Of
Missouri. We still recognize that the
position Of the sneezer, the direction
in which he sneezes, and his physical
condition have much to do with the
sneeze as a good or bad omen. 1t is
practically invariably bad for the per-
son who is sneezed at or upon. We
know that practically all of the acute
diseases affecting or beginning in the
respiratory tract, such as acute colds,
tonsilitis, grip, pneumonia, tuberculo-
sis, meningitis, measles, scarlet few
er and diphtheria may be spread by
the secretions of those parts.
In sneezing these secretions are

Comiskey, Kansas, was one who de-

exciting contests in the history of the
sale ring.
Capt. ]. B. Gillett of Maria, Texas,
had wired Col. Reppert that he want
ed the honor of starting this bull at
100000. This brought forth great
applause and this was increased in
volume, as bids of $1,000 and $4,000
came quick and fast. Mr.. Canary
was in the thick of the fight. Walter

Mr.. Kinzer dropped out at $75OOOO.
Mr.. Yost quit at 100000, and Mr.. Ca

let loose the biggest supply of ap-
plause ever let loose in a sale ring.
And it would not stop until Messrs.
Southland and Canary had stepped
into the sale ring and bowed their
acknowledgment.

Boss Coleman of jefferson county
met his death in a peculiar manner.
While out hunting one night last week
his dog freed a coon and Coleman cut
the tree, and as it started to fall he
went to get the gun. The falling tree
swung around, caught and killed him
instantly. His body was found next
morning. He is survived by two chill
dren, his wife having died two years
ago.

HNHERE is saying that one Is never too
i old to learn, 1t is from new ventures
that we learned much from the indoor
tennis championship OF Philadelphia, held
last week at the armory
First, many people learned what few
of us already knew, that Willis f. Davis,
the new champion, is a tennis player of
the very first class. Some of us learned
it from sad experience
1t was also discovered, notwithstand-
ing Paul Gibbons assertion that many
great efforts We're induced by the band,
that while music hath charms it is not
conducive TO good tennis However, since
we heard Mr.. Gibbons make a few re-
marks about that band we think he really
agrees with us.
The great discovery. however, is that
Philadelphia is quite able to play indoor
tennis if given the opportunity. The
events i'm all classes We're marked by good
tennis and great interest. The ladies'
played consistently and well. The boys
! showed that we have quite a few prom
ising kids to work with. while the mems
event produced some of the best tennis
seen around Philadelphia in years.
The real reason that the interest was
sustained to the end was the efficient
management of Paul w. Gibbons. chair
man, and his assisting committee. Mr.
Gibbons never allowed the court to be
vacant for a moment, with the result that
every event except the mems doubles was
finished on time, These doubles would
have been completed, only Thayer and
Han, Thayer and Davis, Tilden and Os-
borne and about three others played over
time matches that delayed the doubles.
There lis no doubt that next seasons

Willard Gets RiIed
at Snapshot Artist

NEW YORK, March 9. 49, Big
Jess Willard is a modest young
fellow. He hates to have his pie
ture taken, especially by strange
photographers.
o. f. Browning, representing the
Associated Newspapers, yesterday
attempted to snap the champion as
he walked from his hotel along
West Slst street toward Central
Park.
Jess had previously refused to
pose for Browning unless the lat
ter had Tom Jones' permission to
make the picture. Browning did
not have the consent.
Says Browning in describing
subsequent happenings:
"Willard rushed at me, grabbed
me, shook me and threw my camera
in a snowbank."
Browning hadn't made up his
mind last night whether to sue
Jess or not.
