Census Figures

News-TimeS Special Service
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. July IS
Jesse Eschbach. state CONSUMPTION
agent, has sent "a communication 20
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder. at
Washington, protesting that the cen
sus bureaus allotment of population
in Lake county and Lake county
cities, is far too large compared with
the actual population of the county.
Mr. Eschbach would not discuss
the situation today. but il is believed
by the state officials that the census
bureaus figures give the city Of Gary
900 too much population. the city
of East Chicago 10000 too much,
and Lake county, outside Of the two
cities. $4,000 too much population.
Approximately 10 men are TO be
drafted from each 1000 population
of the country ON this basis it il
estimated that LOCO men above
what Indiana officials regard as the
proper quota, will be drafted from
Lake county
Lake county probably has more
men between the draft ages than any
other county i'm the middle west
Many aliens also were registered
under the draft law, and this un
doubtedly tended to increase Lake
courty's quota.
state officers are not proceeding
with ia distribution of county
quotas under the draft law. pending
word from Washington as TO what
will be done with the Lake county
estimate. If they change the figures
of that county. the quotas from all
other counties of the state also will
be changed.

It Is quite true that many persons do
not consider a cold as serious matter.
but, on the other hand, there are many
persons who are too easily scared by
the common ailment. There are some
things which should be tried at home
to see IL some relief cannot be gained.
Frequently cold is developed because
Of the systems need Of rest. therefore.
1t is obvious that rest will do much to
drive the uncomfortable condition
away. The next important step In the
campaign is to keep the system cleaned
out. Drinking plenty Of water and
breathing In inches Of pure. fresh air
are also quite essential. Since colds
are contagious, one cannot be too care
full. In place Of handkerchiefs one
should use squares Of soft muslin or
cheesecloth. which can be burnt after
being used.

Stone Ace Pearls.

Pearls were one of three possessions
for which our woaded British ances-
tors were mainly respected in the an
cient world, the other two being tin
aud oysters. The Romans found pearls
as plentiful as blackberries. and Julius
Caesar dedicated TO Venus Genetrix n
breastplate studded with British
pearls. These were probably obtained
from fresh water mussels with dis
torted shells. Fisheries for these "seed
pearls" have existed on many rivers Of
Ireland, Scotland and Wales from time
immemorial. notably In the River
Strule. near Omagh. Pearl fishing is
now discouraged by riparian owners,
in the interests Of salmon. But fine
pearl from the River Ythan has adorn-
ed the crown of Scotland, and Welsh
pearl from Conway holds place of
honor on the British crown.-London

ARRANGE QUARTERS FOR RAM
His Rough Treatment Of Ewes ls
Source Of Great Loss to Farmer
Keep Him Separated.

Allowing the ram to stay with the
ewes through the winter and spring
until lambing or shearing time is not
always the best practice. Its good
for the ram in case the ewes are well
fed; he will get the lions share, oecu-
by the space for three ewes at the
trough and rack, and grow fat and
abusive. He will choose to eat where
the ewes have peacefully lined them
selves up rather than take an open
place where feed is untouched. writes

That doesn't mean to isolate him in
some small, dark, damp corner of the

back lot without shelter or regular
feed.

TAKE THEIR TIME IN DYING
Almost Incredible Stories Of Tenaelty
With Which Snalls Have Been
Known to Cling to Life.

Dying by inches Is common enough
among the condemned In China. Swift
and sure is our own more merciful
method with criminals. But, strange
to say, there are animals which seem
to prefer lingering death.
Snails are slow, even when 1t comes
to dying, and one naturalist who had
mounted shell upon a card was sur
prised to find four years later that the
warm water employed in soaking the
shell Off the mount had revived the In
mate, which he had long supposed to
be dried and dead.
Several specimens In another collec-
ton were revived in a similar manner
after they had lain In a drawer for
some fifteen years. These had not been
glued to a card, but had been left lying
loose, and, though frequently handled.
had shown no signs OF life.
They were thrown into tepid water,
with the idea Of cleaning the shells,
but to the surprise Of the owner were
found creeping about the basin when
he returned to complete the task.

There are few cities that can look
back to past like that of Alexandria.
and fewer still with such past that
can contrive to keep up with the times
and look forward to the future. The
relics Of 25 dead centuries of Alex
ardrian history have to be looked for
in the guide books. In the city itself
they are covered up by the latest mod
ern improvements. A few erudite
Alexandrians may argue about the real
nationality Of Cleopatra. but most of
them are talking about the price Of
cotton and the latest project for dredg-
ing the harbor.

ERADICATE ALL OK MARBLES
Hides Are lessened in Value and MILK
Production Decreased by Pres
ence Of crubs.

When you find small Jumps on the
back of an animal with round OPEN
ings in them, squeeze them and the
grub that burrows under the hide will
be found. These are OK warbles. Kill
them, for they are one link in the life
cycle of the OK warble fly.
Hides are reduced In value from l
to 2 cents a pound by the presence of
OK MARBLES. Flesh is sometimes so
damaged as to be unfit for sale. Milk
production is lessened by the presence
of numerous grubs. Cattle in general
are annoyed seriously by these war
bles. Removing and destroying all the
grubs from infested cattle will reduce
the number of egg-laying females fol
next summer.

PLACE FOR FARRowINe sows
That Animal May Not BE Disturbed
She Should Be Kept Separated
From Other Swine.

The less a SOW is disturbed at far
rowing time the better, and for this
reason she should be kept separate
from the other swine. While some
one should be on hand. unless she
needs assistance. II Is best TO keep
away from her. II II does become
necessary to help. do II as quietly as
possible. AS the pigs are not able
to take much milk. the flow should
not be stimulated for few days. Give
the SOW plenty Of water, as she Is In
feverish condition, but take the chill
off of 1t II the day Is cold.
It Is not necessary to feed the SOW
for a day or two. and the first feed
given should consist Of a small

gradually increased as the pigs become
able to take more milk. In two weeks

should consist of good, laxative, milk

way OF feeding the pigs than through
