indicate that only small minority Of
farm water supplies can be classed as
unqualifiedly safe and desirable.
Diseases From Poor Water.
Among the ailments caused or In,
nuenced by contaminated water are
typhoid fever, tuberculosis, hookworm
disease, cholera, dysentery and dlar.
rhea, and certain obscure maladles
that may be traced eventually to the
poisonous effects Of drainage from hu.
man wastes. Figure 2 shows In a
striking manner how increased use of
pure water In Massachusetts has been
followed by decline In the typhoid
fever death rate. Frequently a home
or village supplied with water from q
mountain spring or canyon is a center
Of goiter, although the possible rela'
tlonship Of such water to this disease
has not been proved conclusively.
Among ailments of live stock, hog
cholera, anthrax, and foot-and-moutb
disease are spread by moving water.
Hence sick animals should not have
access to streams, and dead animals
should not be left exposed in fields or
buried where drainage may carry In.
fection to streams and water supplies.
Ones duty to himself and neighbors
should obllgate him to confine all sick
animals and burn the carcasses Of
dead ones or bury them deeply. in
spots remote from streams, wells and
springs, and urge his neighbor to do
the same.
The vital things to remember are
that ground water is not stagnant but
moves usually, though not always,
with the "lay" or slope of the land |;
that its character determines largely
the character Of wells and springs ;
that 1t Is not an inexhaustible reser.
vOir, but that given well yields only
as 1t receives; and that continued
pumping viii not improve the water m
a well II the sources from which 1t Ia
fed are permanently at fault. In
short, ground water Is natural drain
age variously modified In its move
ment and character by subterranean
conditions.
Safe Location of Wells.
Wells cannot be located in all cases
so that there may not be some pollu-
tion, but the great safeguards are
clean ground and as wide separation
as possible from the probable chan
nels Of any impure drainage. 1t Is not
enough that a well or spring is 90,
100, or $50 feet from source of filth
or that 1t is merely upon higher
ground, although even moderate re-
moteness and elevation Of the source
of supply are Of service. Given porous
or gravelly ground, seamy ledge, or
long-continued pollution of one plot OF
land, the zone Of contamination is like
ly to extend long distances, particu.
larly in downhlll directions and at
such times as water supplies are low
cred by drought or heavy pumping.
Only when the surface Of the water In
a we'll or spring is actually at a high
er leved at all times than any nearby
source Of filth is there positive assur-
ance Of safety.
Upon any farm a wood lot, grove,
or windbreak Is highly desirable, not
only to supply fuel and small timber,
but for Its beauty and the protection
II affords.

u. S. JURIST.

Springfield, Mo, April 2.-Judgc
Arba S. Van Nalkenburgh, in the
federal court here today ordered
Judge J S. Evans, a member OF the
county court Of Dallas County, Mo,
confined to the Jackson County jail
until such time as he gives assur-
ance that he will obey the mandate
of the court and order tax levy in
Dallas County to create fund to
meet the old railroad bond judg-
ments.
Dallas County has been in litiga-
tion over the old Fort Scott and
La Clede railroad bonds for 40
years, having repudiated the bonds,
as the road was never built. Judg-
ments of more than $2,000,0O0 have
piled up against the county, Judge
Van Nalkenburgh two years ago
ordered the Dallas County court to
make levy to begin creating a fund
to meet the judgments. The order
was not obeyed and officials have
defed every court process designed
to collect the judgments.

HERE FOR BRIEF TIME
Large Number of People of City
and Country Will Have Oppor-
tunity to See Sons and Friends
for Last Time Before Departure.

Company f, l1lth Engineers
the Carter County company-will be
in Ardmore in full strength Sat
urday, April 0, on the occasion Of
the anniversary of the declaration
OF war and the opening up of the
campaign for the third Liberty loan.
Such is the announcement that
The Ardmoreite is able to make to-
day Writ Franklin, chairman of
the county committee on :he third
Liberty loan, and Thomas w,
Champion, chairman OF the thrift
stamp committee for Garter County,
sent this word from Fl. Worth,
where they are now engaged in ar
ranging transportation for the COM
pany to Ardmore.
No statement as to the length of
time the members of the company
will be allowed to remain here is
made, but it is very likely chat they
will stay for but the one day, as it
was only with the greatest effort
that permission was secured at all
for them to leave Camp Bowie at
this time.
As has already been announced,
all patriotic and civic bodies will
participate in the parade, headed by
the Chamber of Commerce band.
The parade and the exercises will
be OF a character to interest every
one, and it is anticipated that a
large number of people from Carter
and adjoining districts will be pres
ent to have a chance to see their
sons and friends in the line OF
march, as this will doubtless be the
last opportunity afforded.
Complete details Of the program
to be followed on this occasion will
be printed in The Daily Ardmore-

British Headquarters in France,
Monday, April 1.-The German at
tack along the Scarpe river March
% had as its objective the city of
Arras and the formidable Vimy
ridge. Careful plans were laid and
the attack was supported by heavy
assaults south and southwest Of Ar
raS, units of at least eleven German
divisions being employed here.
1t may be seen, therefore, that
the German plans were far-reaching
but the main result they achieved
was to swell the already great to-
tai of their casualties.
AT about o'clock on the morn
ing Of the 2Sth, German artillery Of
all calibers opened a terrific bonn
bardment against the British posi-
tions. 1t was obvious the enemy
intended to attack, and at 6:4O
o'clock the British gunners unloosed
an avalanche OF steel against every
known place of assembly the Ger
mans might be using.
Shortly after ! o'clock the enemy
advanced They came forward slow
ly and deliberately in full marching
order. Each infantrymen carried
rations for six days, two blankets
and an extra pair of boots, indi-
eating that the attack was in dead
Is earnest. The company command
ers were mounted and the infantry
was followed closely by the artil-
lery.
On the extreme north of the storm
center lay between Gayrelle and
Oppy the Germans piyoting on
Oppy.
The Germans lost terribly in the
heavy fighting, which lasted all day,
during which the British fell back
to line between Baileul and Viii
lerval. The German attacks against
these positions were futile.
Elsewhere north OF the river, the
British stood their ground and Fri
day and Saturday pushed forward
slightly.

One year ago the people OF
the United States, after an un-
equalled forbearance, under
wrongs without parallel in in
ternational history joined forces
with France, England and the
allies in the worlds death strug-

anniversary of that proud day
approaches, deeds Of heroism
unsurpassed, mark every hour
upon fields of Flanders and OF
France, where the brave men
and women are offering up their
lives that the supreme effort OF
the Hun and his kultur may
come to naught.
Behind those heroes in the
shell-torn fields, the nation
stands embattled, sending forth
to theii defenders their proud
assurance that every power
every resource OF theirs, all is
pledged to win a place with vic
tory. Without it life itself could
be intolerable.
To the people Of the city of
Ardmore the anniversary brings
a double opportunity, in that it
has been set aside as the day
upon which the third Liberty
loan will be inaugurated. Ae
We honor ourselves by due OBJ
servance of that hallowed day,

cause by furthering with all
our might the success of this

highly proper that it should be
so, and upon that day all loyal
citizens should hold above all
else the glory and welfare of
our nation.
Now, therefore, I w. R.
Roberts, mayor of the city OF
Ardmore, do hereby designate
and set apart said anniversary,
the 9th day Of April, A. D. 1918,

of our glorious participation in

in which they should unite their
every effort to assure the full

forthcoming loan. And | here
by ask that all citizens of the
city of Ardmore lay aside all
other matters so far as may be
possible, and to spend that day
in patriotic gatherings and 9TH

ed and sustained effort to the
end that the third Liberty loan
may be not alone a source OF
revenue, but more potently a
message Of cheer to our soldiers
and sailors and of defeat to the
foe OF the world.

impossible The statement, as pub

I'VE do not see that a league Of

nations would perhaps greet such a
league with JOY, but in due time
they would learn to curse it be-
cause it could not fail to deceive
