IRON ORES FORMED
 BY BACTERIA SAYS
 GEOLOGICAL REPORT
Interesting Experiments Have Been Made and Are Now Made Available to the
 Public

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Geolog extend their studies the magnitude of the work done by plants and ami mals in building up and tearing down parts of the crust of the earth. Even microscopic organisms perform a large part of this work. Pasteur long ago showed us the deadly power of bacteria in disease and their efficien- cy in promoting fermentation, but heir influence on the fertility of soils md their work in expediting rock de ,ay are still subjects of scientific study.
 Bacteria evidently not only aid in he decomposition of rocks and in the 'ormation of beds of chalk and lime stone, as has recently been demon ,trated, but are active agents in the deposition of some beds of iron ore Engineers have learned that iron-de )ositing bacteria may be troublesome pests through their ability to clog the pipes of city water-supply systems with hard, thick crusts and slimy -usty masses composed of millions )f individual bacteria. MT F. C Harder of the United States Geolog cal Survey, Department of the In erior, who has examined deposits of ron ore in many countries for the ;pecial purposes of determining thelr node of origin, has recently made dose studies of the action of bacteria n forming iron ores. He has found he so-called iron bacteria" actively engaged in the deposition of com pounds of iron not only in surface 'ron-bearing waters but in mine wa 'ers to depths of several hundred feet and has made laboratory cul- lures of various iron-depositing bac teria. The results of these studies lave just been published by the sur vey as a paper entitled "Iron-deposit- ng bacteria and their geologic rela ions" Professional Paper 113.
 Mir Harder describes the iron-de posting bacteria, gives the results of his laboratory experiments in bac. 'erial iron deposition. considers the probable extent of the influence oI bacterial action in forming deposits If iron ore, and gives bibliography containing the titles of many papers ,n the work of bacteria in rock and ore deposition.
 Professional Paper 113 can be ob. tained from the Director of, the United States Geological Survey al Washington, D. c.

AVOID SECOND "FLUo ATTACK.
State Bacteriologist Discusses I'M
munity-Theories ON Duration
Differ

Iowa City, Ia.-Persons who have
had influenza should exercise the
same precautions against another at
tack as if they had never contracted
the disease, says DR.. Albert, state
bacteriologist and professor of bac-
teriology at the University of Iowa.
In waiting upon other members of
the family, they should wear masks
and take other precautionary meas
ures, not trusting to immunity.
THE mere fact that the individual
RECEIVERS from influenza" states Dr.,
Albert" is proof of some immunity,
but it is not known how long the ex-
emption extends, probably not more
than a few months or year. Free
quent examples are to be had of per-
sons having had two attacks in the
recent epidemic.
A twenty or thirty year immunity
from influenza is thought probable
by some, although there is no proof
of this. This vague opinion as to such
extended immunity is based on the
fact that during the present siege Of
influenza, a large percentage of per-
sons under thirty are affected. The
older people went through the 1890
epidemic and SO are relatively inn
mune, according to this theory.
Or. Albert explains that fact that
influenza attacks hardest physically
fit and robust individuals, because
such persons are more active and are
exposed to more sources of infection
than the weak. Fatalities were great
er among the strqpg, he thinks, be-
cause the vigorous are unwilling to
remain in bed at the early symptoms.
Recurring waves of the, epidemic will
sweep the state occasionally during
the next few years, but they will be
of lessened force.

PRICE OF HORSES LOW.
Prices of All Other Livestock High,
But Prices For Horses Has
Declined

Compared with the generally high
prices of practically all other live
stock and farm products, the steadily
declining and present low price of
horses has become probably the most
commonly discussed question at farm
sales. And the prices have gone down
until in some instances they are so
low as to be actually joke-except
to the seller. Such an instance was
pointed to sale in Minerva town
ship a short time ago, when a farm
work horse sold for-yes, actually
ST.. 1t is true the animal was IL or
10 years old, but he was practically
sound and had several years of work
still in him.
Equally interesting as illustrating
present horse prices, was very re-
cent auction sale of war horses in st.
Louis. The horses, of which a great
many were sold, averaged $134, and
the mules $3.50. There is not much
doubt but that the many auction
sales of army horses now being held
in live stock centers, and to be held
later, are affecting the prices. In spite
of this influence it is pointed out
that all the time the allied and our
federal government were buying hor-
ses in very large numbers there was
no appreciate increase in price,
but to the contrary there was ten
dency downward.
Many farmers hold to the opinion
that the good, sound general-purpose
horse has now and probably always
will have his place on the farm, and
that such animals will hold up well
in price, in spite of the automobile
and the ever-increasing use of tract
ors. Marshalltowp Times Republic

G. n. Haugen's Son Is Some Flyer.

Davenport Democrat: Lieutenant
T.. G.. Haugen, who arrived in Daven-
port from Rantoul field by airplane
Tuesday afternoon, flew his plane
over the city and the arsenal Satur-
day afternoon, giving fine eX-
hibition of flying under adverse con-
ditions. The flight transferred his
machine from Northwest Davenport
to the government island, as he
finally picked out landing place on
the golf links there. He was in the
air about an hour, and did an lmmel-
mann turn and some tight spirals
over the island, as well as an occas-
ional steep climb. Ae he had wrap
ped his engine to prevent its freez-
ing, he was unable, however, to rise
over. 1900 feet without oyerheating
his engine, and he wisely curtailed
his stunt program.
Lieutenant's machine is a Curtis
bipfane, a 95 horse power two-seat-
er of the type used in the army train
ing. A mechanician made the trip
with him here, and will go on with
him to his home at Northwood, Iowa,
with the first favorable weather,
which they hope will be today.

FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN.
The One Thing Essential is the Main

ton. Buy Fifth Liberty.
Bends.

The American people made a
solemn pledge to win the War. The
soldiers who went lover there" took
an oath of loyalty and fidelity. The
people who stayed at home assumed
a sacred obligation to support and
sustain the fighting men. you fight
for us and we will work for you"
that was the essence of the contract
between the Military and the Civil
people of the United States.
The Army and Navy have redeem
ed every item of their oath.
The Nation has made good its
pledge to fight to Victory.
The People as individuals have
worked and saved to support the
Army.
So far everything has been done
honorably and we'll.
The war is won. Victory is ours. 1t
is the greatest military triumph in
human history.
But the American Soldiers-or
most of them-are still in France or
in the domestic camps. They must be
fed, cared for, clothed, and brought
back to their homes.
The Government is spending Two
Billion Dollars a month-trying hard
to pay the bills that will be piling
up until the last man is mustered out.
All the money raised on the first
four Liberty loans has been spent.
Much of the money to be received
for March taxes this year has been
spent in advance. The Government
has been compelled to spend money
that must be subscribed for the
coming FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN.
