FafmingdaIe More
Than Doubles Quota

Tho much Indifference was
manifested in many localities during
the Victory loan drive. in the Farm
ingdale district the interest in the
success of the loan never waned and
enthusiastic workers accomplished
results probably unprecedented in
any similar community The full
quota of the district was taken
before the drive began and a few
optimistic citizens then believed it
possible to double the allotment
The quota for this community was
S26. 700 and when the loan drive
ended Saturday the sales recorded
s60, 0Uu taken by 1872 subscrib rs an
average OF $27O for each. The people
of our community are justly aroud of
their accomplishment as the sales
are 225 per cent of the quota exceed

Germs Pressed to Death.

The Nebraska State Journal OBJ
serves one of the most interesting of
recent developments in the dairy In
dustry is the announcement that germs
may be killed by pressure. This leads
to the belief that the old method of
pasteurizing milk by heat. which has
been found objectionable in some re-
spects. may be supplanted. 1t Is
claimed for the pressure system that
the delicate ferments or engines in
milk are not destroyed and that no
changes are made in the taste or gen.
eral condition. The pressure is APP
piled by means of a hydraulic pump.
1t is possible to apply as high pres
sure as 100000 pounds 10 the square
inch. A pressure of 5000 pounds to
the square inch for Is minutes has
been found to kill many bacteria. High
err pressure can be supplied when the
germs are extraordinarily stubborn. In
general. 1t is believed that 4 pressure
of $4,000 pounds, for 20 minutes VIII
serve every practical purpose. This
material is found in statement re-
Gently issued by the American Chem
ical society. Coming from such a
source II will be accepted as authori-
tative as well as interesting.

MAGAZINE Syringe.

Among the war inventions that prob

Is a magazine hypodermic syringe
that may be used % times without re-
filling. Obviously its chief merit is
that of convenience when physicians
and surgeons are working under fire
and in dark dugouts where continual
recharging of syringes entails difficulty
and retaris operations
The instrument is supplied with 8
platinum needle which permits sterili-
zation In a flame. The cap that pro
tects 1t. when not in use, is kept filed
with iodine or alcohol. When large
numbers of persons are being inocu-
lated with typhoid serum. for instance,
an instrument such as the magazine
syringe evidently saves much time
