Lincoln Chronicle, March 25-At
the Enfield town meeting on Tuesday
an unusual situation developed. DR..
Marsh was one Of the selectmen and a
member of the school board. On NOV
ing to Lincoln where he intended to
take up his permanent residence, it
was claimed that he forfeited the Of
fices and a lawyer who was consulted
so ruled, but at the town meeting he
insisted on hanging on to both offices
with bulldog tenacity, which caused
quite a healthy fight to- develop. It
also came out that the moderator was
not legal voter of the town. Town
not only finds itself with only two
members of a school board, but the
whole proceeding may be adjudged il
legal.

A Bath pickerel fisherman recent

He had hardly dropped his hook
when he felt a vicious bite and
hauled in the line. On the hook was

THE DISAPPEARANCE
OF THE FRONTIER

A young college professor who was
suffering from i'll health recently
made an effort to find a. farm propo-
sition at a moderate price. He spent
several months looking at many prop
critics in the western states. He had
little money and found nothing that
he felt like buying on mortgage. The
farms offered for moderate prices all
had defects. Water rights were often
unsatisfactory, or the moisture was
too uncertain. Fruit orchards fire.
Quently suffered from some pest.
Plenty of good farms were offered him
but at prices he called prohibitive for
him.
The professor was so discouraged by
these obstacles that he went into Can
ada, and spent several months in
some of the newer sections now being
opened to settlement. Tt seemed to
him that it would take a whole gene
ration to get these new lands into
profitable propositions, with comfort
able living conditions.
He felt the Canadian governments
were much to blame for hiding out
too dattering hopes for pioneers. He
advised settlers to stay in the United
States, where the Obstacles serious as
they are, are not as discouraging.
With such conditions as these exist
ing, it is not surprising that there is
an urgent demand for a system of
rural credits that will lend money on
farm land at lower rates. Il1usory
hopes may and no doubt are enter
tanned. Of what, can be done by a
farm credit system. I But the country
is in great need off some method by
which young men who want farms, can
secure them under favorable condi-
tions, without assuming such heavy
interest burdens. The frontier has
disappeared, good land costs high and
buying a farm is not the easy affair it
was a. few wears ago.

having had the misfortune to lose both
hands. while in the act of loading a
cannon, directed his attention to the

that he was able entirely to dress and

then it drops between FIVE and ten
years, to rise after that steadily till it
reaches so per\c for the age group
between 40 and so years, and 10 per
cent. for that between so ana - years.
Certainly far greater strides have been
made in the prevention and treatmen
Of tuberculosis than of pneumonia.
The causatton of pneumonia cpl
denies and of their increasa in recent
years will have to be studied much
more closely before this situation can
be controlled.
In the African Mines.
In this. connection reference may
be made to the work of DR.. Gorgas in
controlling pneumonia in the South
African mines Of the Rand. DR.. Cor
gas was appealed to by the mine-own-
ers to come to Africa and find out the
reason for the appalling mortality
from pneumonia among the native
miners. He found the cause in the
housing conditions. Natives, from
the interior, accustomed to living in
separate houses with their families
and to work in the open air, had been
brought to the mines and housed IN
barracks with doub1e-decAer beds
placed as close together as possible.
Their. work was underground, their
rest was in these over-crowded 1odg-
ings. He advised scattering them
over the countryside in small, indt-
vidual huts, and said that this had
been tried on the Panama Canal with
entire success.
It may be that the increasing pneu-
moniaN death-rate may prove to be
one of the many results of present
methods of housing, especially in
large cities.

DESERTER And
MURDERER GETS
LIFE SENTENCE
u. S. Soldier Shot Chinese
Policeman to Death.

Shanghai, Jan. 22.-John Rohrer, a
deserter from the Fifteenth U. S. In
fantry at Tfen-Tsin, has been SEN
fenced to life imprisonment by Judge
G. S. Lobinger, of the United States
Court, for the murder of a Chinese po-
iceman at Chen Ping, in Chill prov
ince last June.
Hilton A. Williams, the companion
of Rohrer, and also a deserter from
the Tien-tsin barracks, was given IN
the same court three-year sentence
for horse-stea1ing. ~ ~
After leaving their command at
Ten-tsin, carrying rifles with them,
the men made their way to the Great
Wall and gradually worked their way
to Mukden, where they represented
tn enselves to be British subjects.
The men stole horses and clothing
from Chinese and Rohrer killed the
Chinese policeman in an effort to
avoid arrest. The prisoners will be
sent to the United States prison in
the Philippines.

For years word has gone out con-
corning the ravages of tuberculosis
until now every Intelligent person
knows how important is this disease
not only humanity but economically. OF
late years, the public has been aroused
to see the increasing inroads made by
cancer. Societies for the prevention
OF tuberculosis are found everyWh ere
and sanatoria for the treatment of the
tubercu1ous. Laboratories for re-
search into the cause of cancer are be-
ing founded each year, and hospital
facilities for cancer patients increas-
ed.
Now, a third great and Increasingly
strong enemy of civilized man is be-
ing heard of-Pneumonia; and though
there are hospitals for the care of
patients with pneumonia, very little is
known about the prevention of the
disease.
More Fatal Than Before.
For many years past there has been
a growing conviction that pneumonia
was on the increase, and statistics
bear this out. The death rate now
surpasses that of tuberculosis; for
while the latter in 1913 caused 1871
Geayhs per 100000 Of the population
in the registration area, of the Jnl III
States pneumonia caused 1874
deaths per 100000 DR.. Cross or
Minneapolis, writing in the Journal of
the American Medical Association,
says that there is evidence that IN GER

more fatal than formerly.

At 1870 this morning while the
hardware store of T. Haw1ey & Co.,
in Water street was crowded with
people, shrill cry was heard, fol-
lowed by hournfuI groan. Scarcely
had the clerks and others turned in
the direction from whence the
screams came than they saw a form
fall to the floor through an opening
in the second floor used as a shaft for
hosting purposes. The attendants
hurried to the spot where the body
lay and they recognized it as that of
Charles F. Baldwin, member Of the
firm.
Mr.. Baldwin was conscious, but
there was a bleeding wound on the left
side of his head and the fingers of his
left hand were all broken Dfs. Cole
and Paine were called and after an

Bonnie promised to put aside his little
tin whistle and the court ordered his
release in the custody of his father.
