Discharged Men Fall iii

Approximately $4,000 former
service men, an increase of 10000
in the last twelve months, are now
under hospital care at government
expense. The number is increas-
ing at the rate of 900 month,
DIR. c. H. Lavinder, senior sur
geon of the Public Health service
states
The number now in hospitals
does not represent the number
needing such attention, DR.. LAWN
der declares. He says the Public
Health service has cared for
100000 different service men.
About one-third of the sick ser
vice men are suffering from tuber-
culosis, another third from mental
and nervous disorders, and another
third are general disease and surgi-
cal cases. The great marjority OF
the mental and nervous disorder
patients are shellshock cases.
A primary cause of tuberculosis
cases has been the poison gas used
in the fighting, it was stated.

Champion Egg Layer

We cannot vouch for the follow
ing story but Crit tells it for the
truth
Whenever little White Leghorn
hen takes it into her head to win
fame by laying three eggs a day,
there is apparently nothing that
can prevent. Such is true in the
case of Biddy of Seattle, a modest
young hen that first attracted the
attention of her mistress, Sister
Margaret, of the home of the Good
Shepherd, because of the long
periods that she would remain on
the nest. At first Sister Margaret
thought the hen was broody, and
could hardly believe her eyes when
she found three eggs in the nest
occupied by Biddy. Fearing that
someone might be trying to play
trick, Sister Margaret watched the
nest again the next day and to her
establishment Biddy made an even
better record by depositing four
fine fresh eggs. On the third day
she duplicated the performance,
making a total of eleven eggs in
three days. Even then she was
not satisfied, for the following day
she laid three eggs, raised the total
to four eggs on the next, and
promptly proceeded the next day
to lay five days. Naturally such a
performance had made her a
marked hen. Sister Margaret had
separated her from the other hens
so that there could be no question
about the actual number of eggs
that she laid. In recognition of
the splendid record that she made,
Biddy of Seattle, now occupies a
place of honor at the State Agri-
cultural college at Pullman, Wash
ington.

A Jolt for White Pole Road

The writer had fine auto trip
Sunday afternoon and had the
pleasure Of seeing good many Of
the roads as they really are. First
we took the road leading north
from Griswold. This road was
fairly good. Then we took the
White Pole road and if there ever
was joke of road it is the ga
nous White Pole" road. We
wonder how it came about that
any ne with at least three-quarters
of a supply of good horse sense
should choose this initiation road
for the first paving in Cass county.
1t is a joke with a capital 81. "
The hills are steep and when the
matter Of grading and dragging is
taken into consideration--we believe
it is lost art on this road. 1t
may have been dragged in the days
of the cave men but we wager the
man who did the work waited I'M
til he had nothing else to do. 1t
is the same all the way to Oak
land. From Oakland to Carson
there is a good road. But for
real, honest-to-goodness roads one
should take trip over the l. o. A.
Shert Line. This is real road.
1t is dragged and kept up in fine
shape. The hills have been cut
down and the hollows filled. The
men who have been looking after
the |. O. A. Short Line are to be
commended for their good work..
