the disease, but it is estimated
that at least half of them are

Winslow Scourged

last week. spread with such ra-
pidity that Saturday it was esti-
mated there were more than 500
cases, many of them most seri-
Gus. Mayor Carver telegraphed
Gov. Hunt about existing condi-
tions, and that evening received
advises to quarantine the town,
and that State Health Officer DR..
Orville H. Brown, with nurses,
would reach here Sunday morn
ing to take personal charge of
the situation.
Upon the arrival of DR.. Brown
Sunday morning, after consulta-
ton with the authorities and cit
izens, it was decided to take over
the high school for a general hos
pital, and transfer wagons were
started out at once to pick up
every spare bed in the city to care
for the worst cases. The seats
were removed from the assem-
bly, room and class rooms, and
wards were established for men
and women, and special male and
female wards were opened for
the Mexican and colored popula-
tion. The well-equipped domes-
tic science department on the
second floor, under the direction
of Miss May Anderson, domestic
science teacher, with a large
corps of volunteer assistants, was
pressed into service to provide
suitable diet for the sick.
Sunday evening another wire
from Gov. Hunt brought the in
telligence that DR.. Williams and
two more nurses would arrive
Monday morning, and their SER
vices were sorely needed, as more
than fifty patients were at that
time in the temporarily impro-
vised hospital. Monday night
there were seventy-six patients
and every bed was filled. Tues
dav a hunt for more beds was
made and as fast as one could be
located a patient was provided
for it. This (Friday) morning
there are lis patients in the hos
pital, with one or more mild
cases in more than half the
homes in the city.
The north grammar school was
opened Tuesday as GONZALES
cent hospital. and patients will
be moved there as fast as the
doctors dismiss them from medi-
cal care. About thirty were
placed there Wednesday after
noon.
The energetic manner in which
DR.. Brown took hold of the stu
alton after his arriva has
brought results, and the plague
is now we'll under control. DR..
Williams. of Phoenix, who is as
sisting DR.. Brown, is also en-
titled to praise for his untiring
efforts and loyal support.
Another very gratifying and
pleasing feature was the gener-
Gus response and cordial cooper
: alton of the army of volunteer
workers, both men and women,
in aiding the doctors and nurses
in caring for the sick; and the
fire boys with their truck who
have been using it as an ambu-
lance in removing patients to the
hospital, working almost contin-
uously since early Sunday morn
ing. When DR.. Brown leaves us
he will carry away with him
pleasant recollections of willing
workers who responded so nobly
and worked so increasingly to
tighten his burdens as much
as possible, and the workers will
have the conscious knowledge
they contributed in no small
measure in alleviating the dis
tress.

Lieut.. C. L. Hathaway arrived
in the city Monday evening from
Camp Funston, on a brief leave
of absence granted him owing to
the illness of his aged mother.
While in the city he was being
pressed into service to aid the
other doctors in handling the cpl
demic.
DR.. Prayer and nurse from
the Santa Fe hospital at Los An

Monday morning to assist DR..
Brown, the local surgeon, in
handling the influenza among the
railroad men. So many railroad

a physical impossibility for DR..
Brown to give them the care they
demanded.
Mesdames Ada C. Robinson and
A. R. Goldman are visiting the

Eli Hosler and his party re-
turned Tuesday from their hunt
ing expedition in the mountains
southwest of Winslow, and
brought home with them the le-

we can verify, because the Wins

RADISHES.

The radish is quite hardy and may
be grown throughout the winter in the
middle section of the United States. In
many portions of the South 1t is pos
sible to grow it in the open ground
throughout the winter. For the home
garden the seed should be sown in the
open ground about the time Of the last
killing frost. The seed should be sown
in drills at a convenient distance for
cultivation, usually about 18 inches.
To be of good quality, radishes must
be grown quickly in rich soil, and be
used as soon as of sufficient size. Sue
cessive paintings should be made every
few days until the weather becomes
warm. They will not Withstand hot
weather and are suited to early spring
and late autumn planting.
There are autumn varieties Of rad
ishes which may be grown late in the
season and stored for winter use the
same as beets or turnips. A few OF
these will add variety to the winter
supply of vegetables.

One of the most attractive booklets
issued recently is the year book put
out by Swift & Company, covering the
activities of the big packing concerA
during the year 1917. Serving as an
introduction is the address of the vice
president, E. r. Swift, to the stock
holders. in which he tells of the abnor-
mally high prices paid for live stock
in Chicago and Of the prices obtained
for meat; of the investigation by the
federal trade commission, and the IL
censing by the government OF food dls-
tributing agencies and the limiting OF
profits on slaughtering and meat pack
ing to 9 per cent on money employed
Mr.. Swift also told with pride Of the
$500 employees who had entered the
various branches of the United States
service, and concluded with the state
ment that Swift & Company would do
their utmost to help win the war.
An interesting and illuminative sec
ton of the booklet is that devoted to
statistics of live stock prices and pro-
duction, and another is given up to
telling 1.-THE packers service to pro-
ducer and consumer" Figures are
given showing that the net profit Of
the company per head, 1912 to 1915,
averaged S1.22 for cattle, less than 10
cents for sheep and less than So cents
for hogs. 1t is explained that the large
aggregate profits are due to the i'm
mense volume of business done.
The booklet is handsomely illus
trated with photographs and color
prints and the cover illustration, made
from photograph of corn farm In
Ohio, is especially attractive.

KOHL-RABl.

The edible portion of the kOhl-rabi
is the thickened stem. 1t is closely re-
lated to cabbage and cauliflOwer. 1t
should be started in the hOtbed or win
dow box and set in the open ground
about the time of the last frost. The
method of planting and the cultivation
is similar to that practiced for cab
bage. 1t can be planted in the open
at the same time. Early sOwings are
made, and if thinned to to 6 inches
apart the plants will soon grow to
edible size under favorable weather
conditions. This plant should receive
much more consideration than usually
is given it. 1t is really d poor mans
cauliflOwer.

LIMA BEANS.

Lima beans should not be planted
until the ground is thoroughly warmed
up, as they are heat-lOving crop and
the seed will rot If planted when the
ground Is cold. Most gardeners pre-
fer the pole varieties, as they yield
better than the bush varieties and are
superior to the bush varieties in many
other respects One marked advan-
tage of the pole beans is that they may
be planted around the fence, utilizing
the fence as support for the vines.
In this manner a crop of beans can
be secured with the use Of minimum
amount of spacing.
When planted in rows in the gar
den, pole lima beans are usually plant
ed in hills to feet apart and sup
ported on poles or a string and wire
trellis.
The bush limas are usually drilled
in rows some 3h feet apart for horse
cultivation. or slightly closer for hand
cultivation. The lima beans are full
season crop, that is they occupy the
ground for the entire growing season
and sufficient amount should be
planted to provide for the needs of the
family for the entire season. Any sur.
plus not used green may be allowed tc
dry on the vines, picked and stored
for winter use.
Lima beans constitute one of the
most satisfactory crops for growing
for winters use, as the only care ne
cessary to save them is to pick the ripe
pods, dry them thoroughly and shel
the beans. In the northern portion o
the country where lima beans do no
thrive, pole beans of the Lazy Wifi
variety will give satisfaction.

PARSLEY.

The seeds of parsley should be
soaked for few hours before plant
ing to insure termination. They are
slow in terminating and should be
handled very carefully. After one or
two transplantings they should be set
in the open ground in rows - to 1S
inches apart and 3 to inches apart
in the rows as early as the soil can be
put in condition. A small area devoted
to this crop will he sufficient for the
average family.

The pride of the average American
girl is quite as noticeable among
farmers daughters as any other class.
This is illustrated by the experience
of a resident of neighbOring state
who, according to Osteopathic Maga-

As the company was seating itself

with his elbow, knocking it to the floor.
The host touched the bell and as the
