SETTING THE PACE.

Eliminating the anopheles or NAL
aria-carrying mosquito from 10
square-mile area sounds like a big
task especially If there were only
two months in which to Go ii. But
the task wasn't too big for the sani-
tary experts who had it in charge.
Mosquito breeding pools and chan
mel water courses were drained. Other
pools were filled in In yet other
places the mosquito larvae were kill
ed by pouring oil on the water once
in every seven days throughout the
breeding season.
The general public was induced to
screen its dwellings more carefully
than ever before. Cases of malarial
fever were specially treated
Ali this happened in Pulaski coun.
ty, Kansas, last summer before the
first men arrived at the new army
cantoument at Little Rock.
This vast mosquito war is only one
small item in the sanitary measures
taken in the extra cantonment district
surrounding that one camp There
was a sweeping and thorough SAM
tary survey. Every dairy in the re-
gion was inspected and cleaned up.
There was general improvement in
cleanliness, In reporting and check
liz communicable disease A large
majority of the inhabitants were vac
cinated for small pox and typhoid
Sewage systems were installed or
improved, the water supply was made
safe. The work was broad and erlec-
tive. II included everything from phi /
vate houses to ice cream parlofs
And Pulaski county is but one of
the localities where such work was
done In the region surrounding ev-
cry one OF the environments and in
places where smaller groups Of men
were being brought together for mill.

general cleanup covered several

AGAINST PARASITES
Will Save Meat BY Lessening Losses
Due To Parasites

The high price of meat and the
threatened meat shortage is causing
Georgia farmers to pay more attention
TO the losses due to animal parasites.
both external and internal. The mild
climatic conditions are favorable for
the propagation of these low forms of
animal life and certain measures nee
esshry for control and prevention NAV
be instituted without any great cost
to the farmer.
It should be the aim of every man
with live stock to bring his animals to
maturity and full development in the
shortest space of time and with the
minimum expenditure Of feed stuffs
and labor. He cannot do this if his
ani1oals are infested with parasites and
their vitality thereby weakened They
will not make as profitable gains as
they should. p
There is dearth of veterinarians
in the state and often the farmer can
not obtain medical attention for the
sick animal. However, he may do a
great many things to rid his animals
and his farm of the more common
parasites. A bulletin recently pub
lished by the State College OF Agr-
culture entitled Common Parasites
of Farm Animals" is rich in practical
information and may be obtained free
from your county agent or by writing
right away TO the college at Athens.

With the coming of frost the fight

mGeh corn brought from other states.
with the present high prices it is

KILL WEEVtLS WITH CARBON

"eeyils may be killed by fumigating
wi.l carbon bisulphide, allowing 2 to
pcunds per 100 cubic feet of crib
space. Have corn mature and dry be-
fore fumigating and see that crib Is
sufficiently tight so that enough gas
may come in contact with the weevil
to hill him
When the crib has been made as
nearly alright as possible place the
carbon bisulphide in large shallow
dishes on the pile of corn and leave
fo1 two to three days. About four
weeks later the fumigation should be
repeated to kill the weevils that have
developed from eggs. The bisulphide
kills the adult weevils, but does not
destroy the eggs.

The change followed the report OF
DR.. J. 3. Berteling of the committee
appointed TO interview the manufac-
turers and secure their cooperation

Bertelng said that all of the factory
heads believed that it would be

ton on Saturday afternoon, not only
for the factory interests but also for
those OF the men who could thus at
tend the parade without losing any
time.

Another point made by DR.. Berte-
ling was that floats and displays
could be seen better in Afternoon thar
they could at night. a night parade
would mean that great quantities oil

this would be expensive.
II was the opinion OF several tina
the people would lose sight of the
fact that Thursday was the ami
versarv Of the battle OF Lexington
and Paul Revere's ride. and for thai
reason the change in the date would
make little difference.
Chairman III. w. Eldredge voiced
the sentiment that this was "A time

Red Cross Service Fla9S.

In thousands of American homes, in
the days preceding the coming Yuletide,
Red Cross service flags will occupy win
dow space along with the wreaths of
holly. These flags will be feature of
the Red Cross Christmas membership
campaign, which will run from December
II to Christmas Eve. A flag in win
dow will mean that person in that home
is a member of the Red Cross. Addi-
tional emblems on the flag will indicate
the number of members of the household
who have joined the Red Cross. If not
already Red Cross member a person
living in house that is as yet without
the flag may join in the Chri stmas drive
and obtain one for display.
The window service flags, which are
transparent, will play part in nation
wide Christmas Eve demonstration that
is to be the climax of the membership
campaign. Candles are to burn behind
the flags in every window on the night
before Christmas, and at intervals church
bells will chime in every community,
while groups of Red Cross workers will
parade the streets singing carols.

Renoielin3 Power House

The Hagerstown and Frederick Rail-

ing and enlarging its powerhouse equip
ment at Security and by about February
expects to have installed equipment
which will double the output of electric
current from this plant.
During the late summer and fall W.
H. Angle, Hagerstown contractor, has
been at work at the plant. He just now
is engaged in building a conduit for wat
er for the condensers, building it from
the Antietam to the plant and back a
gain. This is big concrete channel
about six by nine feet in size and more
than 450 feet long.
Some time ago very large steam boil
er was installed in the plant and other
work done.
Some delay has been experienced in
getting the generator, but all is in readi-
ness to install it. as soon as it arrives.
In fact when the power house was built
some years ago the base for this gener-
ator was built, and all plans made so
that its installation would take the least
possible time, when the demands upon
the plant warranted an increase in capac-
ity
The enlarged capacity will give the
company plenty of current for operating
all its allied lines and to care for new
business along the recently acquired
lines in PENNSYLVANIA,
