HOW HORSES GO TO SLEEP.

Horses seldom lie down to sleep.
Throughout their entire lives most
of them sleep while standing on
their feet. The reason for this is
believed to be that the horses are
afraid that an insect might crawl
into their nostrils. This is a very
likely explanation when it is con-
sidered that a horses nostrils are
the most sensitive part of his body.
If the insect could not be removed,
it could easily irritatc a horse to
death. Many horses will not lie
down because they have once been
"foundered," that is, unable to get
up unassisted.
Another curious fact about a sleep
ing horse is that he seems always to
keep his faculties working. His ears,
for instance, keep constantly twitch-
ing, and he seems to hear the slight
est noise. Because of this, 1t would
probably be impossible for a man to
enter stable quietly enough to pre-
vent his waking up every horse in
it. Horses act peculiarly also in
time of fire. They will burn to death
rather than rush out from the stalls.

WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH
WHEN YOU ARE TICKLED

The habit of tickling is supposed to
be somewhat dangerous, according
to physicians. The ticklish areas
are located over the least protect
ed parts of the body, where delicate
vital organs are to be protected. The
reason for the ticklishness is that
the skin is highly sensitive there and
aware" of intrusion, as a means of
protection from possible injury.
This sensitiveness. or awareness,
the physicians say, is a relic of the
days when mans prehistoric ances-
tors had to guard their lives con-
stantly against creeping insects and
the heavy penetrating pressure of
animals teeth This is why, ac-
cording to this theory, the tickle re-
fex is elected principally by light
running motion over the skin and
by sudden prods.
The reaction, in this age, is vio-
lent discharge of energy in the form
of laughter and efforts to be free.
But 1t is easy to imagine the shrieks
of terror or pain that might have
been the forerunner of the laughter.
Humanity takes ages to outgrow its
prehistoric impulses.

CASUALTY LIST
FOR Week 1880
283 Reported On Sunday Is
Largest Number For
Any Day.

Washington, Aug. Army and
Marine Corps casualties reported
from overseas during the week end
ing to-day, increased 1,430, compar-
ed with 1,050 the week before. To-
tai casualties reported are 1916,
including to-day's army list of 2S3
the largest number yet reported
in a single day-and Marine Corps
list of two.
While as yet no figures on casual
ties in the great allied offensive in
which American troops are playing
so conspicuous a part have been re-
ceived the increase in the daily army
lists undoubtedly is due in part to
this fighting. The increase for the
week was 1884. The Marine Corps
list increased only forty-six for the
seven days.
In the 1916 casualties, total
deaths, including 291 men lost at sea,
men killed in action, died of wounds,
disease, accidents and other causes
numbered 6,144-army men $40,

express himself "as he sees IT," but
one, who seizes upon every oppor-
tunity to criticize and emphasize the
petty errors that daily creep into the
conduct of men, both in private and
official life, can hardly hope that
such a course will arise to the dig
nifty of constructive helpfulness. But
this should not hinder a good, strong,
straightforward, constructive policy
of the county's officers in their eff
forts to lead Ohio county substantial
ly forward during the years that lie
ahead. 1t will take money-it will
take proper assessment of property
and collections of taxes; il will take
wisdom in the expenditure of the
money; 1t will take a healthy, whole
some cooperation of all. But none
of these things is impracticable.
These are days of big things The
small matters of bias and prejudice
and selfishness should find no place
fraught with such mighty responsible
tiles. Just as the inefficient and
worn tools and implements should
be laid aside, for more up-to-date
and effective ones, so should all lit
tleness and petty policies of trifiing-
ness and selfishness be compelled to
give place to big plans of energetic.
cooperative progress.
1t is hoped and expected that the
splendid citizenship of Ohio county
will lay off its coat, as it were. and
will go to work for the progress and
uplift of the county with the same
spirit and determination that charac-
terize Ohio county's citizenship in
its effort to do its part toward win
ming the present war and making the
world, including Ohio county, not
only a decent, but a fine place to
live.

FOR OHIO COUNTY.

The county officers of Ohio county
hope to form plan of pooling their
energies and calling more strongly
upon their resources with the view
of making at least some general ad
vancement and taking few steps
of general progress for the county.
While the efforts and policies of the
officers will be general, yet two of
the chief matters of attention and
concern are the public roads of the
county and illiteracy. Every depart
ment of the county can, by taking
an interest, contribute something to-
ward the county's progress and adj
vancment with reference to these
two matters and every department
will do so, while still having due re-
gard for general enforcement of law,
and outstanding the county's interests
and resources generally.
Ohio county is a large, powerful
county and has large quantities of
farming land, minerals, including
coal and oil, reasonable railroad ia
cilities, and above all splendid cit
izenship. Its patriotism and loyal
ty in peace and in war has been dem
onstrated in many fine ways.
The county has a large number of
highways and plenty of good ground
upon which good road beds can be
made. Its citizenship really wants
good roads and there is, in fact,
fine public spirit and public senti-
ment in favor of good roads if only
that spirit may receive the proper
encouragement and support. The
State has a number of good laws and
an efficient Department of Public
Roads conductive to splendid results
in obtaining and maintaining an eff
ficient system of public roads, and If
these laws and the Department of
Public Roads receive the proper OBJ
servation and enforcement, there is
no reason why the result should not

Ohio county equal to that in the very
best counties in the State. It's peo-
pie want them and are entitled to
them; its officers are willing to do
their part to bring about this condi-
ton. Perhaps the thing that is need
ed is a better spirit and cooperation
between the officers and the people.
The county is well supplied with
splendid school teachers and splen-
did school buildings-yet through
out its length and bredth there still
turks a material percentage of illit-
eracy. If the county's highways
were well opened and put in good
condition for travel and il its schools
were brought into active, efficient
service-both day and night ii ne
cessary-until the eradication of IL
literacy were accomplished, it could
not be gainsaid that Ohio county was
well on the road to splendid prog
ress.
The officers are entirely serious
in their plans and undertakings and
they have the confidence in the splen-
did citizenship of the county TO be-
lieve they will receive a hearty and
unbiased support They invite sug-
gestions from experienced and inter-
ested persons everywhere, and even
reproof where such should be neces-
sary. Petty criticisms of matters
while annoying and in fact hindering

be tolerated with patience. This is

the winter campaign with his mill

pies. The presence of American
troops on the Italian front will tend
to confirm for the Austrian army all
that they hear of what has transpir-
ed in France. The effect cannot be
foretold.
