Prices OF Land
Land sells at all kinds of prices.
You can get wild land unimproved for
fifteen dollars an acre. Jack rented
the most of his for forty dollars an
acre for three years, to a Japanese
farmer and he is putting it all into
cantilopes and early vegetables. The
first peas are now in bud and will
soon be ready for market The days
are pretty hot about noon but you
need lots of bed clothes at night. We
drove to Ell Centre yesterday and saw
the beautiful Barbary Worth hotel,
which was built where Harold Bell
Wright wrote, 1.-THE Winning Of
Barbary Worth" 1t is great winter
resort.
Many Hindoos @s
There are a great many Hindoos
here and they are good farmers but
raise more cotton than vegetables.
The Japs are the market gardeners
and although they can not own land
they lease a great deal. There are
no mosquitoes here but the flies are
plenty enough.
Santa Not On Runners
Tomorrow win be Christmas but
Santa Claus will now get here on run
ners. We are going to Christmas
tree at the Episcopal tonight and to
morrow Ned and family will be here
to help celebrate. Virginia Is hav-
ing the time of her life. The first
thing she got pail, went out hunt
ing eggs and came back with ten doz-
en-. She found eggs everywhere.
The river flows about forty rods
from the house and the first day ]
was here / heard regular fusilade
soon after daylight After breakfast
I walked over to the river, it's about
a half mile wide, and there are half
dozen shallow streams with rushes
between, and ducks, ducks every.
where. There are all kinds except
fish ducks -mallards, teal, red heads,
gray ducks and several other kinds
did not know. A brother of Jacks
gave us seven and they were fat, all
had grain in their crops, and were
fine eating. You remember there were
plent yof ducks in Florida; we did not
care much for them as they all tasted
fishy but none of these have that flavor
Quail, also are very abundant and nc
law against shooting them, Cotton
tail and jack rabbits, too, are every
where. This is certainly land OF
plenty. We expect to drive over the
mountains to San Diego and from

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the disease portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure cat
arrhal deafness and that is by a
constitutional remedy Catarrhal Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its
n 7mal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever Many cases Of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts through the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.

PLOTZ FIGHTS
TYPHUS FEVER
WILL KILL EPIDEMIC IN EUROPE
BY DELOUSING METHODS USED
IN ARMY

New York, April 11.-Dr. Harry
Poltz, who five years ago as a "a
year old inferno at Mt Sinai hospital.
New York, astounded the medical
world with the discovery of the typhus
bacillus and the proof that the dis
ease is communicated by the body
louise, has just sailed for Europe, to
aid in fighting the typhus epidemic
now raging over Poland and central
Europe
DR.. Poltz, considered the foremost
typhus authority in America. will
fight the epidemic by the same de-
lousing methods used with the Amer
lean army in France and at the de-
barkation camps here, for the cootie
is the only carrier of the dread dis
ease, he declares. AS a colonel in
the medical corps he worked out the
American army delousing process.
Through funds raised by the Amer
lean Jewish Relief Committee and it's
associated organizations, 100000 was
just cabled to Europe for fuel with
which to wage this battle of steam
against the cootie, whose extermina-
ton will mean the end of the typhus
plague, according to DR.. Plotz. He is
going to Poland under the auspices
of the Joint Distribution Committee,
WHICH ulSDuTS6S american jewish ne
lief Funds.
In addition to delousing the typhus-
infested country, DR.. Plotz plans car
rying on a campaign of education to
show the people how the disease is
spread by body vermin. He plans lee
lures, posters, slides and moving pic
lures in the churches, schools and the
aters to teach the peasant that the
body louise is not a sign of health as he
now regards it, but the carrier of
typhus.
Shortly after his discovery of the ty
phus bacillus and the typhus carrier,
DR.. PlotZ was called to Serbia by the
Serbian Government to fight the
plague then raging there and through
out the Balkans. He was captured by
General Won Mackensen's eleventh
army, helped put down typhus in the
occupied territory well as in the
German and Bulgarian armies and
was released in time to return home
and enter the American army. 1t was
while there that he learned that the
cootie was considered a sign of good
health and that one of the most eff
fective ways of stopping the typhus
epidemic was to teach the peasants
that the louise was their worst enemy,
not their friend.

MOBILE Wins
FROM CUSHNOCS
ALLOW LOCAL BOYS ONLY ONE
HIT AND WIN BY SCORE TO 1.

In an interesting game, full of life
and play, despite the onesided look
ing score, the Cushnocs Were defeated
yesterday afternoon by the Southern
League Mobile Bears. The local bats
men were unable to hit with men on
bases and uncorked a wierd brand of
baserunning on two occasions when
they did have a chance to score.
Fifteen times Cushnocs reached
first but were unable to complete the
circuit only once.
Attendance was the largest of the
season, all seats filled ands crowds on
the lines standing.
Mobile pitchers were a bit wild, bas-
ing six Cushnocs on balls, one by be-
ing hit by ball. and this coupled with
errors by Mobile players put them in a
hole on several occasions. Each time,
however, they would tighten up and
pull out of it. Pitchers Ching, Lucko
movie and UT did the hurting for Mo-
bile and Cushnoc's catcher, Kircher
was the only local player to register
a safe hit during the entire game.
Right fielder Ducote, of the Mobile
team secured three hits out of four
times up, one being a home run over
the right field fence. The score:

Pies Are Taboo--"Mickey" Hooverizel
Told Without Proverb;al
Squash PICS.

As a character study Mickey, .
which will be shown at the Isis to-
day and tomorrow, is a real work of
art. You will never forget this ador-
able little waif The story of Mickey
is vivid with action, much of which
is laid in that wonderful twilight zone
of comedy where half the laughs are
met with tears.
Mickey is a sweet, wholesome, mis-
chievous little girl, raised by her fos-
ter father ar old miner. and her fos-
ter mother, wise old Indian squaw,
in the mountain country far away
from the glamour and chill of the
city.
Later she is sent to the city "to
make a lady of her" at the home of
her aunt, a scheming. jealous hypo-
crite-and she doesn't find her path
exactly strewn with roses. But
throughout, the old cheerful. high
spirits of little Mickey prevail and
with her sheer happy perseverance she
conquers what seem unbearable bur
dens and difficulties for the little
waif There are wistful and pathetic
touches in Mickey" as well as humor
laid in with delicacy and a sure
touch.
Miss Normand is always a charm
ing commedienne. but she is at her
very best in this part-in this vivid
living characters-told without squash
pies, battles or the seduction of the
innocent heroine.
