Take a Vacation

1t is time to take a vacation.
Everybody that works either
mentally or physically needs a
vacation sometime during the
year.
Perhaps you think you can't
afford to take a vacation this
year. The fact is, in general you
can't afford not to take one.
You can't afford not to rest your
mind and body and get away
from routine work.
Perhaps you have not thought
what a break down or spell of
sickness would cost you The old
adage, "a stitch in time saves
nine," is applicable to our health
as to our clothes.
You may not be able to afford
an expensive trip to the seashore
or to the mountains but you can
afford a rest and a change of en-
vironment for at least a few
days.
A few points not to be over
looked in taking your vacation are
First, go where your health
will not be jeopardy. Stay at no
place where there are flies or
mosquitoes. Second, know that
you go there are sanitary means
wherever for the disposing of sew
age. Third, know that the food
served you is not fly infected
and that the milk is clean.
Forth, know that your drinking
water is pure. Fifth, be vaccin-
ated against typhoid fever be-
fore leaving home, thereby re-
ducing your chances of con-
tracing typhoid fever 80 or 100
per cent.
A few dont's will perhaps be
in place before making the start.
Don't take to much baggage.
Don't take any cares or wor-
ries.
Don't exercise too strenuously
at first.
Don't eat injudiciously.
Don't spend too much money.
Don't forget that rest is what
you are there for and that a
vacation that does not put new
life into your body and joy into
your heart is a failure.

Good Water for Farm Homes

Clear, sparkling water is not
always pure water. A refresh
ing draught from the old oaken
bucket" may be the beginning
of a long and possibly fatal ill.,
ness from typhoid fever, dysen-
terry, or other disease.
The germs of the so called
water borne diseases come from
the bodies of persons afflicted
with those diseases, They do
not live long outside the body and
do not originate in nature Fo
the most part the germs which
get into drinking water and pro-
duce disease come only from
human beings. If we keep the
waste products from the bodies
of human beings and animals
away from our water supplies,
we keep the water free from
disease germs.
The usual sources of farm
water supplies are wells, pumps,
springs and cisterns. Running
streams are so seldom free from
dangerous pollution that with
out publication they cannot he
considered safe for domestic use
The most common form of
water supply is the shallow well,
reaching into a layer of earth
saturated with water. These
are really little more than reser-
voirs for surface water" since
they drain the surface for a
radius of sometimes several hun
dred feet. Wells of this kind
shuuld never be dug within 200
feet of any stable, barnyard or
privy, and should be on higher
ground than these that all drain
age may be away from them.
They should have a water tight
curbing and cover and should
have a pump for drawing the
water rather than a bucket and
Chain. The "old oaken bucket"
is too often the germ laden
bucket. T"
Perhaps the safest means OF
supplying water for the country
homes is the driven we'll or pump
! These should have drains and
care should be taken that nc
drippings seep back into the well
or down by the side of the pump.

IceIandefs Send First Ship to
America Since Year 1000

New York-The Gullfoss, said to be
one of the first Icelandic ships to visit
the shores Of the Western Hemisphere
since the days of Left, the Lucky, tied
up in the harbor here Saturday with a
cargo of herring.
Aboard the Gullfoss, little steamer
Of 1856 tons, is crew Of Icelandic sail
ors, officered by Icelandic navigators
and speaking virtually the same Ian
guage, that Left, son Of Eric the Red,
spoke when he landed at Cape Cod
about the year 1000.
The Gullfoss brought to New York
20 passengers, mostly merchants from
Reikjavik, who came to buy goods in
American markets. With its return
the first of next month, the Gullfoss
will. pass its sister ship, the Gothaloss,
bound for New York with a cargo Of
fish. Captain Pjeturson said he hoped
to see established regular trade with
the United States.
Amazingly high prices for the prod
ucts of the island have brought pros
perity in the last two years, the cap
tainsHaid. The war created the first
milliefaires in Iceland, he declared,
and alsoasAve the island its first exper-
ience with 1abor troubles and other
disorders Of modeSlsy sivilization. A
strike Of the fisherf1en,g union in the
island lasted throughout last summer,
the captain said.

Area Of 23,400 Acres to Be
Put Under Water on 0choco

Prineville The board of directors
of the Ochoco irrigation district, at a
meeting at Prineville this week, ac-
cepted the report Of R. w. Rea, prof.
ect engineer, which has been forward
ed to the State engineer for his ap-
proval, and as soon as that office has
had an opportunity to go over the re-
port an election of the land owners in
the district will be called to vote the
necessary bonds for construction.
The report shows that the Ochoco
project is one of the most worthy and
feasible projects in the state Of Ore
gon. The lands in the project form a
compact area comprising 90, 400 acres
of irrigable land. Of this area about
35 per cent is partially irrigated, 30
per cent is dry farmed and 35 per cent
is undeveloped land. These lands with
water will raise from three to five tons
of alfalfa to the acre.
Water for the project will be OBJ
tanned from Ochoco and Mckay creeks.
The reservoir proposed for Ochoco
Creek will have capacity of $4,000
acre feet, and be created by dam of
the hydraulic earthill type, with a
maximum height of 1876 feet. For the
time being only the flood waters Of
Mckay creek will be used, the storage
dam and reservoir not being considered
necessary for at least 10 years.

Corn Show is Scheduled.

Marshield-The city of Coquille has
concluded to make its successful corn
show of last year an annual affair, and
will stage the festival this year on
November 10 and IL.
The Coquille valley, at the time of
the 1915 corn show, produced surprises
in exhibitions of corn, and the affair
was big aid in developing a new line
of agriculture for all sections of the
county. Minnesota corn won the
highest awards, and was declared by
visiting experts and judges to be the
best adapted for culture in this terri
tory. The large acreage of last year
was increased this season, and the ex-
hibits are expected to be better and
more numerous.
