Canals Now Fish Ponds.

Actual stocking of New York's new
fish ponds in the beds of the old Erie
and Champlain canals is In full swing.
The necessary construction work has
been completed and the fish used for
stocking purposes are being rushed
from various points to the canals and
liberated at once.
The first consignment consisted of
a large number Of yellow perch fry,
which were planted in one of the sec
lions of the old Erie canal near Am
sterdam. According to the conserva-
ton commission, quantity of perch
spawn was collected by state en-
ployees in Adirondack lakes, where
these fish are menace to other fishes
in the same waters. Its removal Is
therefore accomplishing double
benefit.

TYPHOID GERMS ARE PETTED
Fed With Agar jelly Specially Pre-
pared and Very CostIy-Mlri"ns
of Soldiers Inoculated.

Millions of the allied soldiers in
France have been inoculated against
typhoid fever since the war began.
In order to prepare the lympth
which is used for the purpose of rem
dering them immune to this deadly
disease, perfectly pure CIVILIZATIONS of
the typhoid bacillus have to be made.
These are obtained by artifcially
breeding the microbes in government
controlled laboratories. The deadly
germs are kept in little glass tubes,
carefully sterilized, and are fed with
agar jelly, an exceedingly expensive
substance which comes from Japan,
where it is prepared from particular
species of seaweed.
Nothing can exceed the care and
attention that Is lavished on these
lothsome little organisms by the scien-
lists in charge Of them.
The typhoid microbe is not a very
little fellow as microbes GO. There
are others far smaller. Nevertheless
If pins head were hollow capsule
it would hold four hundred million
typhoid bacilli, colony of liv-
ing organisms about equal in point Of
numbers TO the combil population
of the United States of America, Rus
STA, France, Germany, Italy and the
United Kingdom.

HEAVY RAINS CAUSE
FALL FLOODS

The he IVY rains of last week
caused Battle Greek to get at

that Sunday communication with
South Pittsburg by road was cut
off. Boats were used to ferry
passengers across the flood which
looked rather austere when the
surrounding woods were gay
with the bright colors of autumn

damage has been Gone TO corn in

What a Railroad Did.

Let me cite one instance of what
the building Of railroad has meant,
writes B. G. Forbes in Leslie's. Mon
tana had always been regarded as a
grazing state until A. J. Earring, presi-
dent of the st. Paul railroad, while
travelling over the state by horseback,
spent a night at a ranch and noticed
a bumper field of wheat next morning.
The owner confided that he had raised
similar yields for over ten years with
out one bad crop, but had not gone In
for wheat raising on large scale be-
cause he was 80 miles from the near
est railroad. Mr.. Earrings peregrina-
tons convinced him that, although
there had scarcely been a furrow
plowed In the whole Judith Basin at
that time, lit could be developed into
one Of the greatest wheat-growing sec
tons in the world. Last year, thanks
to the st. paul's railroad building, the
Judith Basin, extending some 200
miles east and west and 100 miles
north and south, produced the greatest
part of the 100000 bushels of wheat
grown in Montana, as well rs a large
part of the 100000 5 of all
grain marketed by Mont lacing 1t
among the foremost glaln-growing
states.

Living Failure in Show Window.

A living example of "a failure" was
exhibited in the show window of
vacant store in st. Louis by CORE
spondence school as an advertising
scheme.
A disheveled man past the prime Of
life, wearing worn and dirty clothes,
with dirty hands, uncombed hair, and
scrawny mustache, and leer on his
face, sat at table, such as might be
in the back room of saloon playing
solitaire with greasy deck Of cards.
On the table beside him was an empty
whisky bottle. On the window was
large sign reading: "a failure. This
man is failure because he wasted his
spare time"

in MEMORY OF
WAYMAN QUARLES

We regret very much to pen
the death of Wayman Quarles,
of Jasper, who died Oct. "a. 1918.
He was a good, kind boy and al
ways had a kind word for every
one, and was loved by all who
knew him. Wayman is missed
by all, but he has gone to a better
world above. He taught a good
school here last year, and the
children all loved him. He be-
gan teaching school at White
side this year, and had to quit on
account of the condition of his
health. He was a dear boy.
He was something like 20 years
of age, but he is not dead, only
sleeping, He has gone where
sickness and sorrow never enters.
He has gone to a brighter world,
where we can all meet dear Way
man if we will only obey God.
Weep not, loved ones, for brother
and son is only waiting for you
above. Wayman was of good be-
havior and was always found at
home. He always attended to
bis own business and bothered
no one.
He leaves father, mother and
three brothers, Chas., B.Melvin
and Casper, to mourn his loss.
A precious one from us is gone,
a voice we loved is still; a place
is vacant in our home which new
err can be filled. God in His wis
dom has recalled the boon his
love has given, so weep not, low
ed ones, the soul is safe in heav-
en-.

Domestic courts as rule do not

Of offending husbands, but once IN q

his wife, both deaf rates, were In
court recently In Mesy Gork. Their
earnest dlgital syrat,uns and contor-
tions convinced the presiding magis-
trate that an interpreter was needed,
and one was summoned. Through him
the man spoke first. His principal de-
sire, it appeared, was that anything his
wife might say should be largely dis
counted. He had known her for many
years, he spelled on his fingers, and
during that period she had rarely been
right on any subject.
The wife proved more interesting
when 1t came her turn to testify. She
wanted an injunction. Why7 And
there the interpreter had to do fast
receiving to catch all her wagwagging,
'She says that her husband comes
home late every night" relayed the In

gets in she starts to tell him in sign
language what she thinks of him, and
his late hours, and that he won't even

injunction for-against his cruelty In
stopping her from bawling him out"

trate. "ChOke herr" "No, your

DON'T START THE
SCHOOLS TILL MARCH

Question is frequently asked
regarding when the public schools
of the county will resume session.
With the exception, possibly OF
those usually having nine months
term. the schools of the county
should not start up until March
/. 1919. thus having spring term
of approximately three months.
Bad weather will soon set in, and
influenza is still holding high
carnival in many sections, and
even those children who have
left their beds apparently recoV-
cred, should not be exposed TO
the dangers o. a relapse by hav-
ing to attend school in the va
riety of weather liable at this
season.
Possibly by spring all the germs
will have gone and there will be
no new cases of influenza break
ing out. 1t is too dangerous a
disease to take any risk. 1t is
true human life is cheap, but let
the school authorities of Marion
show that human life has some
value and not risk the lives of
children attempting to resume
the fall term of school.
We are decidedly of the opinion
that this course will be endorsed
by the parents.

The Kaiser and his gang some
two weeks ago were reported as
saying that free trade for the ma
tons suited them. And yet Ger
many has been bottled up tight
with protection for years, and on
that basis built up its greatness.
If the Germans want the free
trade idea to expand the world
over, the people of the United
States certainly should not want
it. If free trade is fixed irrevo
cably on this country as a result
of peace negotiations, one of the
first moves should be to mint a
coin of the value of a mill so as
to take care of the low wages
and low prices.
