Habeas Corpus Hearing.

In the district court this morning
the hearing on the application for a
writ of habeas corpus in the case of
Arlo Wilson was conducted before
Judge Henry Bank. The application
alleges that the Wilson boy is being
Illegally held. His attorney raised
the question Of the Jurisdiction of the
court by alleging that the information
was filed in 1914, in which case the
boy was not 10 years old. This was
explained to the court as an error in
the printed date. The order in the
superior court and the filing stamp
shows the date Of May, 1915. The
court was furnished with several ref
erences by the attorneys and took the
case under advisement. The lad will
be confined in the county home until
4 decision is made.

MADE PROFIT OF 1921
ON AN ACRE OF CORN
Scott County Boy Wins Cham
piOnship of Clubs With a
Yield of More Than 118
Bushels.


With a profit of 1921 an acre,
Oscar Linhart of Scott County
won the championship among
corn club boys of Missouri, ac-
cording to results recently an
nounced by George w. Reavis,
superintendent of boys and
girls club work in the Univer-
sity of Missouri at Columbia.
The yield of the acre making the
largest profit was 118 bushels
and II pounds. A sample of the
corn was on exhibit at Farmers
Week. The net profit is counted
in the championship contest
rather than the highest yield.
Oscar Linhart enrolled as a
member of the boys corn clubs
under the direction of the ag-
ricultural extension service of
the University of Missouri last
spring. He received instruction
in selecting, planting and cult
waiting the corn from the Univer-
sity and the county agent OF
Scott County. He made regular
reports of his work and the con-
dition of his corn.
His last report showed that
the cultivation Of the acre hac
cost $38.57. Here are the fig.
ures: Seed, so cents work done
in cultivation, 81; fertilizer
$5.25; rent of land (the usua.
rent in that county is one-thirC

DISCUSSION OF
A Germ Disease, Contagious And
Very Dangerous


Diphther1a Is a contagious dis
ease, caused by the bacillus
~diphtheria. Persons in perfect
health may get the bacillus in
their threats many times and not
take the disease. On the other
hand, no matter how weak or
rundown one may be, he will
not have diphtheria unless the
bacillus is present. The germ
comes from a person affected
with diphtheria or from one who,
without showing any signs of
the disease, carries the germ in
the throat or nose. Such is call
ed a diphtheria carrier.
The germs are found only in
the throat and nose of persons
affected and produce a toxin
which is absorbed in the blood,
causing the symptoms and eff
fects of the disease. The germs
leave such a person in the spu-
tum and in the spray from
coughing and sneezing. Even
forceful talking must cause
minute droplets of secretion to
be emitted.
The smaller droplets will float
for some distance in the air of
an average room. Well persons
are affected chiefly by getting
droplets and the contained
germs into their threats. Chill
dren, having little sense of clean
illness, usually put playthings
into their mouths. If children
play together and one is affect
ed with diptheria, the others are
likely to get the germs from the
sick one in this way.
School rooms and gathering
places where many persons are
assembled in a close, poorly-ven-
tilated room aid in the spread
of the disease. At this season
of the year, when many persons
travel on crowded trains anC
many get together at celebra.
tons and meetings, the danger
of getting the disease is much
increased. No one with a cole
or sore throat should attend
, public gatherings. Any one get
| ting a cold or sore throat SHOULD
have the trouble diagnosed anC
: treated by a physician. Children
complaining of colds or sore
, throat should have medical at
tention at once.
|, If used in time, diptheria tox
in will quickly cure diptheria
The greater the time elapsini
before the toxin is used, the les.
, is the chance for recovery. I'm
: treated and late-treated case
are very fatal. Diptheria toxil
: for a short time also prevent
we'll persons becoming affecte,
and should be used on every we
:. member of a family in whicl
g there is a case of diptheria.-De

TEN BIOLOGISTS
SOLVE THE SLIDES
1t Is by Keeping Up the Digging
as GOethals Has Done.

in Panama, in fact, before they
had even inspected the slides,
ships were passed through the
canal again. The faith that NOV
es a mountain has it's counter
part in the science that bids the
hills cease to move.
The biologists went at their
work seriously. They stuck sticks
into various parts of the NOV
ing banks and watched them
from day to day. By careful OBJ
servation they determined that
the banks were actually moving,
thus confirming a suspicion held
by thousands of men who have
worked Culebra Cut, and by less
scientific methods reached the
same conclusion years ago.
They watched the banks move
slowly and irresistibly toward
the canal, and concluded that the
only remedy is to keep on dig
ging until all the earth that
wants to move has been dug out
and carried away. This confirms
h e decision reached several
years ago by Goethals, Rourke,
linn and others who had much
to do with the digging Of Guile
bra Cut. In short, the committee
of biologists has done the work
of reassuring the American pub
lie that the present method of
handling the slide problem in
Panama is the only feasible one.
Getting acquainted with Goe-
thals was the hardest work the
physicists had to do. Not at all
because the General is different
or reserved. He knew several Of
the committee before they ar.
rived here, but it was in
