.FLUE CASES IN HAND
SITUATION AT~VERNON
MUCH BETTER
No New Ones Except In Homes
Where Disease First Made
Appearance

Major J. x. Hielscher, acting as
sistant surgeon to the United States
public health, reports that the situa-
ton in Vernon is now well in hand
There have not been any mere cases
except in the houses where the dis
ease appeared at the onset.
The major introduced the unique
ard very practical plan of using the
returned soldiers who served in the
medical corps to care for the sick
especially in the farming districts.
The young men filled in the nursing
program by such chores as, milking
the cows and feeding the stock in
general. Everyone showing a fever
was sent to bed and where it was a;
all serious the doctor was called. The
cases, with the exception of two OF
pneumonia ARE rather light. Instruc
tions are very definite to remain in
bed for forty eight hours after the
fever has disappeared.
This very interesting point in the
distribution of the disease has been
observed: In a school district adj
joining Vernon where the school is
closed and the children are brought
to Vernon by bus line there were
twenty three of the twenty -four cas-
es found in the country. It developed
that a man living on the farther side
of this school district had visited a
neighboring town and contracted the
disease. His children also developed
it in a mild form but continued going
to school riding in the bus with other
little ones. Soon there were many ap-
parent colds in the school, and one
day four pupils had to be sent home
sick
There are thirty eight cases of In
fluenZa now in the village that can
be traced directly TO this one family.
There is also one family sick south
Of town, tut west and north there are
no cases. This should teach goodr
lesson to people to avoid exposure to
the disease, to keep in their homes,
and out on crowded places until this
little furry abates.

DEATH OF ROBERT INGRAM
Detective On The Northwestern Roac
Victim of Pneumonia.

Death summoned another promin-
ent citizen of North Mankato last
night, when Robert Ingram passed
away. He was taken sick with the
flu about twelve days ago which de-
veloped into double pneumonia. The
end came shortly before one o'clock.
Mr.. Ingram was born May 20, 1887
in Hindley, Lancaster, England. In
1905 he came to this country and
settled in Alabama where he resided
for two years. He then moved to
Michigan, where he was united in
marriage to Mabel Jones, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A Jones. The family
has made their home at 613 Page
avenue, North Mankato, for the past
eight years.
His death seems most sorrowful as
he leaves his wife and four small
children, James R. aged nine, Frieda
B. aged seven, Mary X. aged four
and George r. twenty month. His
parents, four brothers and four sis
tiers, residing in England, also sur.
vive. The entire ramily has been suf-
fering from the influenza but are we'll
on the road to recovery Mrs. Ingram
is still confined to her bed. The sym
pathy of the entire community is ex-
tended the bereaved family in their
great loss. ~

sl.0 Sufferers /.

DR.. Crawford Greys is speaker
in such great demand that we are
very fortunate to have him with us
this evening at the Manxato theatre
His personal knowledge of the Near
East. his rare descriptive power, his
charm OF manner, all combine to place
him among the best equipped to plead
a cause and to convince for it's need.
His power is of the kind that calls
him again after once having heard
him. 1t is not often that this can
be at all said of public speaker.
Out of the Near East has come the
Christian religion, the Jewish reli-
gion, TO say nothing of Parsees, the
ancient sun worshipers. Among its
interests are the scenes of much oil
the life work of st. Paul-all indeed
OF the twelve apostles-there is one
OF the oldest cities of history, Dam
ascus For four thousand years at
least 1t has been city. destroyed
indeed now anu then but always
growing again. Among other inter-
ests are Jerusalem, the Temples OF
Solomon and of later kings, the city
of David. the village OF Nazareth, the
Sea of Galilea, the Dead Sea, the
stories of the Crusades, the crusade
of two years ago in which the cru
saders were troops from Wales, In
dia. Egypt, and Australia commanded
by General Ailenby, Allenby's march
from Egypt through desert, his wa
ter supply secured by n pipe line
from the Nile and built as he pro-
ceeded, the pipes were from the Uni
ted States, the pipe line carried fin
ally into the holy city itself till water
was pumped from the Nile into thai
city. Interest in that part OF the
Near East? Well. any amount of it.
Then in Syria-again the cam
paigns not alone of the present wal
but through much of history. Its Sc:
coast was the ancient Phoenicia
Over the mountains are those famous
rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates
whose valleys have been the seats o.
a number of empires now long, gone
and whose valleys will doubtless in
the years to come become again the
homes of millions.
There are now the beginnings of q
republic for the Armenians, but un
less they have help to live through
the months till crops can be grown
it will be a pitiful sight indeed thai
the few survivors will present.

Greater BY the Thousands
Than In OtheriYears
LARGEST EVER BOOKED
The Grazing Business Was Con-
siderable Factor In the
increase
Especial to Free Press.]

Washington, d. c.. January 81
Receipts from the national forests
in the fiscal year 1919 were greater
by s7sS.4s4,7s than in the previous
year. This is the largest increase
ever made in a single year. The re-
ceipts totaled $4,35S, 414.86.
To this total the, grazing business
contributed $2,6O9, 1885, the timber
business $1,540,099. 90, special uses.
the occupancy of lands for miscellan-
eous purposes" $136,822. SO, and the
for water-power development, $72,-
32206 The receipts from grazing ex-
ceeded those of 1918 by $833,347.91,
while the receipts from timber de-
clined $93,549. 46. Special uses show
ed gain Of $15,616.05, and water
power falling off of $21,664.29.
The falling off in the receipts from
timber was not due to any material
reduction in the current timber sale
business, but chiefly because in 1913
settlement was secured under a court
Judgment Of a claim against one of
the transcontinental railroad COM
panies amounting, with interest, to
$S9,264.
Increase in Grazing.
The increase in the receipts from
grazing was due to the fact that
last year the final step was taken
in carrying through the advance in
the grazing fees. proposed in 1916 and
inaugurated in. 1917.
Unquestionably the value of the
range, to the live stock producers
and to the country, can be developed
to a higher point by constructing
more improvements and pushing fur
Their the Investigations which make
possible tho most efficient and COM
plete utilization of the forage crop and
the most highly perfected methods of
live stock management, say repre-
sentatives of the forest service, Unit
ed States department of agricul-
ture.
That the receipts from grazing now
exceed those from timber by more
than a million dollars and from fifty
nine per cent of the total receipts
from all sources is due to the fact
that practically the entire forage
crop can be utilized under present
conditions, while the annual timber
cut is but an Insignificant fraction
of the sustained yield obtainable
from the forests, or of the total cut
of the country. The receipts Of 1919

while the cost of operating the for
ests remained practically stationary
during these four years.

H. Jacoby, hauling yards, 71S. 1880
The donating of labor and hauling
of gravel is still going on. :
A hauling bee will begin on Wed
nesday of next week and continue as
long as those interested will do so.
Anyone who cannot donate his time,
and labor can give $1.10 per yard for
as many loads as he is willing.
C. Ballard, c. w. Watts, c. l..
Plumb, and Lester Duffey have been
donating most of their labor on the
cross road leading from the Poor
Farm road west to the Indian Lake
road. This is a mail and milk route
and is an important highway.
During the years 1917 and 1918 the
sum of $500 was raised by subscrip-
ton among the farmers for the i'm
rrovement of the Poor Farm road.
This was in addition to the money
since raised by the farmers for the
betterment of the highway in ques-
ton.
The road leading east to the Ma
pleton road was tiled and drained
through the efforts of Mankato town
ship, Robert and James Ballard.
Harvey Young, Superintendent of
the county farm, has kindly donated
his services in dragging the Poor
Farm road for the past several sea-
son.
Columbus Ballard desires The Free
Press to personally extend his
thanks to the Commercial and Auto
clubs for the assistance they have
given in making improvements on
the highways.
The farmers along the Poor Farm
road certainly have done most ex-
cellent work and they are deserving
of a great deal of credit therefor.
They have set an example for the
farmers in other sections of the
country. Those who own farms along
the Poor Farm road recognize the
value of good roads and have been
putting their ideas into practice.
Their work is to be highly COM
mended.
