Saloniki, June 10.-fBy mail)-- The typhus epIdemics at kavabla, MonastIr, Uskub, Leskovatz and some other smaller places in south ern Serbia now are believed to be checked, say Red Cross reports re- ceived here.
 At all these points small typhus hospitals have been set up under the direction of American physicians and nurses. Disinfeeting stations have been established and in them thou sands of refugees and soldiers are cleansed.
 Serbian officials have thanked the Red Cross for it's help in suppressing the epldemics, both of smallpox and typhus.
 fhe food supply of hundreds of thousands of Serbs who have re- turned to their homes in Uskub, Mon astir, Pirot and Guevgeli is now be- heved to have passed the critical stage as the American Food Admin istration has shipped large quantities of flour to those places and the grain harvests are reported to be fairly good.

Arthur Maddox, negro, was arres- ted by Constable Braunon, charged with the theft of a horse and wagon, alleged to have been stolen from AIf Franklin, negro empIoye of the Bah lau Produce company. The case will come up in municipal court next week.
 The history of the horse and wagon involve number of transactions dur ing the past year. Some time about a year ago, Franklin's horse and wag- on became lost, strayed, or stolen. At about the same time Arthur Maddox sold a horse and wagon to Annie Washington, who in turn, sold the horse and wagon to a negro by the name of Willie Wilson, from whom Franklin replevied the horse lase week.
 Mabbox states that he bought the horse from a horse trader. Franknn IS positive that the horse which was tolen from him is the horse replevied from Wilson.
 When arrested, Maddox told Con- stable Brannon that he also had a mule and wagon staked out near the Hotel Pines. After searching Sunday night, and part of Monday, Mr. Brannon found the mule and

figures for Nebraska claim total OF

that the so called farm mechanic is

met a need by providing a momen-
tarily fixed output with less human

creased enormously as the demand for
commodities swelled. The army OF
farm mechanics will have to be big

future.
Calculations have been made by

year about $4,000 Of these machines
